[1:50 AM]
After travelling through air for around some time, The team was able to reach the temporary base in Hosu City (The Warehouse) without any problem.
Mr. Fantastic created a Elastic air layer close to the ground, which was used to reduce our landing speed. After landing, Mr. Fantastic was pushed down by a small figure.
"Oh My Gentle, How are you now? Are you hurt somewhere? You just completed a very dangerous task, I was worried about you.."-La Brava
"No, My dear La Brava. I am well and even if there was any mortal danger to my life, I would not have shirked the task."-Mr. Fantastic
"Ohhh... You are so brave gentle."-La Brava
Shido and Knuckleduster were watching this with a expressionless face. Mr. Fantastic and La Brava were just non-stop talking about random stuff, how the two will change the world through tea and whatsoever. Shido turned to look at Eri.
Shido put off the backpack and saw that Eri was sleeping. He slowly took her out of the bag and took a sleeping bag from his inventory. He took the bandana off her eyes. He placed her in the sleeping bag and let her sleep for now. Knuckleduster was watching this uninterested yet complicated gaze, he also has a daughter, but their relationship is not that good. He also saw that their team leader is not that simple, He showed various types of quirks Super Strength (He perceives the Super Punch as Super Strength), Super Jump, taking things out of nowhere, but he didn't said anything, as everybody has a secret and he decided not to pry into it.
Shido after placing Eri on the ground a bit far from the group, went to Knuckleduster.
"So, how was the mission for you?"-Shido
"It was fine, but it would've been more exciting if I could fight some of them bare fisted instead with the gun."-Knuckleduster
Shido understands Knuckleduster's love towards fighting particularly strong people who have powerful Quirks. But the mission was rescue mission, they couldn't spare more time defeating the enemies as the base was circled by the police and heroes.
"I know your frustration, I also want to end the entire Shie Hassaikai at once, but we didn't have enough time and also we cannot put danger on the little girl's life."-Shido said and looked at Eri who is sleeping peacefully.
Knuckleduster knew they couldn't do too much or they would have been pinched between heroes and Yakuza. He looked at Shido,
"So, what do we do now?"-Knuckleduster
"Let's meet with the other two to discuss this."-Shido
They went to La Brava and Mr. Fantastic who were still talking, but this time they were talking about the things which happened in the mission. La Brava noticed the two people approaching them, so she looked towards Shido.
"Chief, You never mentioned explosions during the briefing of the mission."-La Brava
"I just thought to make a big distraction for the police and heroes, so we can leave without any trouble. The explosions were also to destroy the main data computer, as only 87% data was destroyed and it also destroyed the base of the yakuza."-Shido
La Brava had a 'I understand now' expression on her face. Shido then went to the center of them and spoke,
"Now, since the mission is completed, we have to focus on what to do now."-Shido
Shido then looked towards all of them, they all had a thinking expression,
"After leaving the city, you will have to stay low for sometime, as we have created a big mess for the government. Explosions in the middle of residential area and the victims of the explosions are none other than the Yakuza hiding in the residential area. It will create a big stir among the populace. La Brava had controlled the surrounding CCTVs, but not all of them due to shortage of time and equipment. And they also saw us when we were fleeing, So it's not wrong to assume the police knows who did this."-Shido
"So you are saying, we just lay-low for a few weeks and it all will just vanish."-Knuckleduster
"No, I am saying, you should lay-low to avoid the active pursue of the government. For a few weeks or max to a month, the government will put high attention to this case, but when the public outrage calms down, the news of the case will slowly die down and the government which was not able to find any lead, will start to focus on other things than us."-Shido
Knuckleduster nodded, understanding Shido's point.
"But Chief, it will not completely vanish right?"-La Brava
"Yeah, it will never completely vanish."-Shido
"You don't have to worry about your personal identities being in danger as we three had covered our face well."-Shido
Mr. Fantastic remembered he had wore the mask during the mission.
"What about the little girl?"-La Brava
"I will take care of that."-Shido
"So, When we will leave the warehouse?"-Knuckleduster
"Around the rush hour in the morning (7-9 AM), we will mix in the crowd and leave the city."-Shido
"Why not leave in the dark? It will be hard to find us."-Knuckleduster
"The security of the city should have been increased and the exits must be tightly packed. Since the trains and subway don't run at this time, they will fully focus on the road exits. We also cannot use Danjuro's 'Air Travel' as we cannot rely on his quirk to exit the city, it will be too taxing on him."-Shido
He looked at them and waited if anyone had to ask something, since nobody asked anything
"Just rest for now, I have prepared some normal clothes for you."-Shido said and took out some clothes for them. As the discussion was over now, Shido went and sat near the sleeping Eri. He looked at her and started thinking about how to adopt her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4:30 AM]
The ground started shaking, La Brava and Mr. Fantastic who were taking a nap, stood up abruptly, Knuckleduster and Shido stood up. Shido quickly placed Eri who woke from the tremors, in the backpack and wore the backpack. Knuckleduster took out shotgun and Shido took out two sawn-off shotguns. They knew someone is coming, as the tremors are not uniform and are coming from the direction of a wall. When the tremors stopped, the wall broke down and raised a big dust cloud.
When the dust cloud settled, it revealed 4 figures standing.
"GIVE ME BACK ERI THEN YOU ALL CAN DIE!!!!"

(A/N: Some points I forgot to add last time in the author notes
1. Government knows about the fact that Eri is a gangster's Granddaughter but they don't know about her quirk as quirk apprehension test is taken when the child is 4 years old and Eri is 5 years old but was in the captivation of Overhaul so, her quirk is not registered in the government records.
2. I am more inclined towards answers having the orphanage as a way to adopt her. But if you have a good answer, do write in the comments of this paragraph.)
