The Helpful Hostage Meme

THE HELPFUL HOSTAGE (maybe) (hopefully) MEME!


Running from a wrongful accusation of murder? Wounded by your archenemy and looking for a place to hide? Need a pilot to go after those drug lords escaping across the border? Don't have time to go through the official channels? Find a hostage! And make them help you.

In this meme, one person desperately needs help. And, in order to get it, they grab another character. Off the street, out of their car, from a restaurant.

PROMPTS: (optional)
1 - MEDICAL ATTENTION.. You're bleeding, in pain and desperate, and you need medical attention. Right now. What will you do? Break into a private practice after hours? Find a darkened house or apartment with a convenient bathroom?
2 - SHELTER. The cops are after you. The temperature is dropping below -20. You're out in the middle of nowhere and you're starving. You don't have any options left - except for this.
3 - TRANSPORTATION. You need to get out of town. Fast. Can't buy a car, can't rent a car, can't take a bus - how do you leave?
4 - PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. You need a doctor. A lawyer. A pilot. A spy. And you know just the one. And you're going to get their help whether they want it or not.
5 - A HOSTAGE. You need a body to threaten. Maybe it's the President's daughter; maybe it's just someone off the street. Either way, it's leverage you're after. Maybe you'll turn them loose once you get to the border.
6 - FINISH THE CRIME. Get the manager who can open the bank vault. Or whatever else you need to commit your act of murder, sabotage and/or thievery.
7 - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT???? Fuck.
8 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN.

... both of us. It seemed like a good idea, and we work well together.

Kirishima and Denki work together, Midoriya is in America with All Might right now but he sometimes teams up with Shinsou... most others are working at other firms.

[he seems contemplative, but before he can say anything else, the elevator dings and the doors open up to a large office floor. several people look up to greet them, though they pause at Bakugou, throwing questioning glances at Todoroki for it]

He's got family visiting. This is his younger cousin.

[surprisingly, most of them seem to buy that, they even throw a wave and a smile at Bakugou before going back to their work]

[he glances down at him]

It was your idea, remember? I figured I'd try. Seems like it worked.

If you want to get technical, yes. It blurs sometimes, though.
