All Might's heard before he's seen. The masterminds behind this abduction have long since fled the scene, leaving behind only the dime-a-dozen grunt work for the Symbol of Peace to deal with. Despite their best efforts, such low level threats were never going to be a real obstacle.
❝ It's going to be alright, now, Detective. Why? ❞
He bursts through the door in a flurry of dust and woodchip debris, the corridor behind him littered with bloodied, unconscious henchmen.
❝ Because I am here! ❞
// the receiver has recently been kidnapped and held captive by enemies of the sender.
He admits to having poked fun at the catchphrase on occasion. Not in a mean-spirited way, necessarily, but the kind of teasing that occurs from one friend to another.
Only to himself did Naomasa silently question the true effectiveness of this persona. Did it . . . really make people feel better, in the moment? Did a smile and a cheerful voice really go so far in taking away the terror of being trapped like this, subjected to the mercies of a villain?
It would appear that the detective had his answer, for how quickly relief swept through his body at hearing a familiar voice. Relaxing as much as the ropes would allow, wound tightly between his wrists, and looped again around some metal jutting from the wall. He coughed and hacked for a good moment from the entrance, signs of interrogation marring exposed skin, but he could hardly care. Seeing that man, larger than life and standing in the doorway . . . it overwhelmed him with a sense of utter safety.
Broken and bloodied lips twisted into a smile against all odds (though pale in comparison to the hero’s own).
"You have no idea how good it is to see you...!”
