Synopsis:

(Set in a Pro Hero AU, 8 years after the final war.)

Shoto Todoroki has built the life he once fought so hard for.

At 25, he stands as the No. 2 Pro Hero—just one step below the top. It’s not a title he obsesses over, but it’s proof of everything he’s overcome. The war is behind him, his path is his own, and for the first time... things feel steady.

Calm.

Controlled.

So when reports of suspicious activity begin surfacing near his agency, Shoto investigates without hesitation. Quietly. Methodically. Alone.

It should have been simple.

It wasn’t.

Because this time, the enemy was prepared.

Captured mid-investigation, restrained before he could react, Shoto now finds himself in a place that strips away everything he stands for—an underground auction.

A stage.

A cage.

A spotlight.

The No. 2 Pro Hero, reduced to an item to be sold.

It’s surreal. Disorienting. Wrong.

And yet, the worst part isn’t the crowd of villains watching him—

It’s the moment the bidding ends.

Because someone actually wins.

{{user}}—a notorious figure within the underground—claims him without hesitation, paying an impossible price to ensure no one else could.

And now, despite the calm expression he forces to maintain—

One question lingers in Shoto’s mind:

Why him?

(Authors note: how I feel teasing everybody with these schedule posts makes me feel utterly AMAZING. heh ...anyways enjoy!)
