Hey all,

Now, let me preface this with saying I don't normally do what others request of me, either because I'm rude and snobbish or anti-compatible, but I was just contacted by a fellow groupmember and asked if I would be inclined to let you guys know about a contest that they are holding.

Contests are great ways to push yourselves as writers! So please follow the link below and enter their contest.
It is a Halloween Contest involving reader inserts, so it's both relevant and fun :)

As of 9/21/16 at 11:51pm this link was relevant and applicable to the above introduction:
lunarius-hunter.deviantart.com…

Have a good time with it! And let me know if anything about the link changes <3

KuramaxReader: Worthy to Fight Part 46You quickly ducked as a kick came at your head. You jumped to the side and set your own kick at the attacker. The attacker grabbed your leg and pulled you closer to hit you. You jumped up and twisted to free your leg. On your way down you tried to elbow the attacker in the head, but they raised their arms to block your attack. You jumped clear away from them as they tried to knee you. You ran towards the attacker and disappeared from their sight. You reappeared behind them, but before you could attack they turned and lashed out with you. You jumped back again making some room between you and your attacker.You stood a few feet away from your attacker, breathing heavily. “Damn it, I’m getting tired.”Your attacker pushed their hair out of their face and stood up straight. “Are you done?”“Never.” You growled. You were about to take a step forward, but fell to your knees. “No not now.” You tried to stand back up, but your legs refused to listen to you. You had been fighting for hours now and your body just couldn’t handle anymore.Your attacker walked over and stood over your fallen form. “It would seem like you are done.”“Kurama.” You mumbled closing your eyes.“I’m impressed, you lasted longer then I thought you would.”“Kurama,” you looked up at your attacker, “is that supposed to make me feel any better about losing?”Kurama chuckled and reach a hand down to you. “I mean it (Name) you did remarkably well.”You smiled as you took Kurama’s hand. “It was a lot of fun though.” Kurama pulled you up on your feet and wrapped his arms around your waist to keep you up. “I guess I’ll need a lot of years to catch up with you Kurama.”Kurama smiled and tapped your nose lightly. “You’re a lot stronger then you give yourself credit for. You’re much stronger then Jin and the others, even once they finish their training.”“Thank you Kurama and thanks for training with me.”“You’re welcome love. I enjoyed it as well.” Kurama suddenly fell onto his behind with you falling into his lap, because he had been holding onto you. Kurama laughed. “I guess I was pretty tired too.”You laughed along with him. “Good to know I can ware out the great Yoko Kurama.”Kurama pulled you close. “We have another month left in the Human World before we have to go back. Is there anything else you wanted to do?” You paused for a second to think, and then your face brightened up. “I take it you thought of something then.”“Yep! I want to go to our field.” You said with a huge grin. You were referring to the field of flowers that Kurama had shown you once before. It had been so long since you had last seen it.“That’s right; you hadn’t been back there for a while. I suppose the new flowers I planted there should be perfect.” Kurama stood up picking you up off his lap. He then gently placed you on your feet.“I can’t wait!” Kurama took your hand and started to lead you away from the clearing you both were using to train. After about ten minutes, you both were almost at the field.“Wait a moment (Name).” Kurama stopped and you also stopped. Kurama scooped you into his arms causing you to yelp. “Kurama what are you doing?”“I want it to be a surprise. Now close your eyes love and don’t peek.” You pouted, but did as Kurama asked. You wrapped your arms around Kurama’s neck and hide your face in his chest. You felt Kurama continue to walk though the forest. A minute or two later, he stopped. “Okay (Name) I’m going to put you back on your feet don’t peak yet okay?” “Okay Kurama.”Kurama swung you back on your feet and then stood behind you placing his hands on your hips. He leaned forward and whispered into your ear. “Open your eyes love.”You slowly opened your eyes and gasped. The field of flowers was always beautiful, but it was even more so now. Kurama’s plants that glowed in the dark created a border around the flowers. Each one was starting to glow as the sun set and the sky got darker. A bunch of new flowers inhabited the field, many of which were ones you had never seen him before. “It’s gorgeous Kurama.”“This is where I was going to propose to you.” Kurama gently took your left hand in his letting the fading light reflect on the ring on your finger.“I’m sorry I rushed you Kurama.”“Don’t be silly, I’m just glad you said yes.”“Of course I said yes Kurama. I love you.”Kurama kissed your neck softly. “I love you too (Name).” You and Kurama sat in the field with you on Kurama’s lap. You snuggled up to Kurama in your very own secret garden.

KuramaxReader: Worthy to Fight Part 44You and Kurama had walked down from your room to the meeting room. Kurama sat to the right of Yomi, who sat at the head of the table, and you sat down next to Kurama on his right. There were three other demons sitting at the table, Yomi’s generals, and one older demon at the monitor in front of the table. The older demon put a graph on the screen. It showed how strong Yomi, Raizen and Mukuro’s armies were and how strong they would be in a year. It was predicted that Mukuro would be the strongest in one year, while Raizen would be the weakest. Raizen was placed as the weakest because he would most likely be dead. It would seem that Raizen had stopped eating humans and was slowly fading away. The older demon then asked Yomi what his thoughts were. Yomi hummed. “What’s your opinion, Kurama?” Two of the generals piped up that they too wanted to here Kurama’s opinion. “All right, bring up the data for king and their second in command.” Kurama requested. The older demon said that he could show the complete structure. “No thank you, that won’t be necessary.” The older demon did as Kurama asked. First he should the three king’s data. Next he showed Yomi’s second in command Lord Shachi, who was sitting to your right. Then Mukuro’s “origin of evil” Kirin and Raizen’s, Hokushin, who was a Tao master. “That’s the lot. Was it of any help?” The older demon asked turning back to Kurama. Kurama studied the data. “As power foes, the second-in-command are mere sparks next to the infernos of the kings.” Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Shachi staring at Kurama. “Yet they will decide the war. If Raizen dies, the remaining Kings will have to deal with each other, leaving Raizen’s realm relatively unharmed. Whichever King wins, he will need time to recover from the battle. The troops on both sides will be exhausted as well. If Raizen’s troops hold fast,” Kurama paused for a moment, “a clear winner is not obvious to me.” Shachi chuckled. “Hmph! How sagacious. Any more words of wisdom, demon fox?” “There will then be an upheaval,” Kurama looked down, “that will topple all seconds-in-command in six months.” “What?!” Shachi yelled rising from his seat. “We’ve had a standoff for the last five-hundred years! The balance of power won’t collapse so quickly.” “Easy Shachi,” one of the other generals said, “he’s still new here. Besides, you might not want to make any sudden moments.” The general pointed ay Shachi. Shachi glanced down and saw that there was a dagger pointed at his stomach. It was a mere inch away from puncturing his stomach. He followed the arm that was holding the dagger and saw that it was you. You hold the dagger tightly while glaring at him. “(Name),” Kurama placed a hand on your shoulder, “thank you, but you can put it away.” You dagger changed back into several rings on your fingers. You then pulled your arm back to your side. “If you say so Kurama.” “That will be all for now.” Yomi said standing from his seat. “Kurama, could you and your friend there, come with me.” “Of course.” Kurama said standing from his seat. You stood up next to him. “Perfect. Then the rest of you are dismissed.” The generals and older demon left the room. Before Shachi left, he glared at both you and Kurama. Once they were gone, Yomi turned to the two of you. “Follow me.” Yomi then lead you two out of the meeting room and into one of the long hallways. “Interesting meeting. Shachi wouldn’t stop scowling at you.” “You could tell?” Kurama asked. “Change in body temperature, blood pressure, muscle tension…oh yes. Being blind has some advantages. I also noticed a change in your friend, when Shachi stood up. It was quite interesting.” “I apologize for my outburst.” You said. You didn’t want to cause Kurama any problems. “It was out of line.” “Oh no, it was very interesting. Shachi’s heart rate shot up when he saw your weapon.” Yomi then turned his attention to Kurama. “You know, I had no idea what to make of you when you first arrived. You’d…changed. You stank of humans. You even brought a half-breed here with you.” You scolded at being called a half-breed. Yomi must have noticed. “It would seem I offended her.” “(Name) doesn’t like being referred to as a half-breed. I too, do not likely her being referred like that.” Kurama responded taking your hand. “Then it is I who should apologize. I didn’t know it was a sensitive topic.” Yomi smiled. “Ah yes, I almost forgot. As I mentioned earlier, I found the demon that took my sight.” Kurama tensed up next to you. Your gripped his hand to be some kind of support. Yomi too, noticed the change in Kurama’s demeanor. “What’s wrong? Never mind. Follow me.” Yomi lead the two of you to a large steel door. You weren’t sure what was behind it, but by Kurama’s reaction it can’t be good. Yomi had led you and Kurama to a large steel door. Yomi turned to the door and opened the door. You had to hold a gasp because of you what you saw. Inside was a demon that was torn to pieces. His feet were buried in the floor, his left arm was pinned by the hand to the wall and most of his right arm was gone, expect for his right hand, that was pinned to the wall like this left, and his forearm. There were countless needles pierced though his body, his wings were broken and one of his two horns was broken off. The most disturbing thing was, his midsection was gone. Only a few strings of flesh connected his upper torso to his lower. You could clearly see the bottom of the demons ribcage because of this.“Advanced decay has set in. He hardly moves or speaks now.” Yomi explained. Kurama tensed slightly next to you and you gripped his hand trying to help. “Kurama your heart rate’s up. So is the girl’s, but I assume that’s just from the sight of what’s left of him.” Yomi looked at the demon. “A millennium ago, he attacked me.” Yomi then went into a long story about how he and Youko used to be partners. Yomi explained that he was hotheaded and overconfident, while Youko was calmer and thought things out. He then said that one day that demon appeared and blinded Yomi. Yomi injured him and the demon said “my life’s more important then the pay.” Yomi said he waited for help, but no one ever came.“And you were gone. Rumor was you’d disappeared into the human world.” Yomi went on that with Youko gone Raizen and Mukuro rose to power and that he had to fight to gain the power he had now. “Your heat rate’s back to normal Kurama. Always calm, eh? You should teach the girl that trick, her hearts still racing.” Yomi then turned to the demon. “Wake up.”The demon titled his head up and you now saw that the demons eye lids were sewn shut. “Kill…me. Please…let it end.” Yomi said he would if the demon told him who had hired him to come after Yomi. “A…a demon fox…with silver hair…and the moat dreadful, ice-cold eyes.” Yomi then slammed his foot into the demons face, killing him. You grimaced at Yomi’s cruelty.Yomi turned to face you and Kurama. “I hold no resentment Kurama. You taught me a lesson I needed and richly deserved.” Kurama asked what Yomi wanted now. Yomi explained that he still wanted Kurama’s help. “What if I said no?” Kurama asked still calm.Yomi paused. “Humans do like to travel. But their conveyances sometimes fail. ‘Tragedy strikes a middle-aged couple on their honeymoon it was the second marriage for both.’ Not exactly prime tabloid TV fodder.” Yomi walked closer to you and Kurama. “To formulate a strategy, first gather information. Another lesson you taught me.”You growled. “You bastard.”“I think you need to reel in your little girl here. Who knows what might happen if you let her continue to run her mouth.”“Let’s see what happens then.” You were about to take a step forward when Kurama pulled you back.“(Name) stop.” You looked over at him, but Kurama hadn’t taken his eyes off of Yomi. “So I baffled you with I first arrived? Who taught you to act?”Yomi chuckled as he walked past the two of you towards the door. “See, this is why I need you.” Yomi then walked out of the room.Once Yomi was out of sight, you turned to Kurama. “Why did you stop me? That bastard threatened your mom!”“I’m aware of that. That is why I stopped you.” Kurama pulled you close and wrapped his arms around you. “You're strong (Name), but Yomi could seriously hurt you. I thought you promised not to make me grieve over you again.”You rested your head on his chest. “You’re right.” You closed your eyes. “I’m sorry Kurama. I shouldn’t have acted so rash. I guess I have my grandmother’s short temper.”Kurama ran his fingers though your hair. “It’s alright, just in the future try to stay calm.”You nodded. “I will.”“Good, now let’s get going.”“Get going?”“We have some work to do.” Kurama took your hand and lead you out of the room with the decaying demon body.
KuramaxReader: Worthy to Fight Part 43“Are you sure this is a good idea to have this little get together?” You asked, looking over at Genkai from your spot on the floor. The two of you were in the large shrine room. The only thing in the room was a large statue. Genkai shrugged. “Koenma asked if he could use the temple.” She looked away. “When are you leaving?” “I’m not sure, Kurama hasn’t decided yet.” You leaned back against the wall. “I could careless what demon takes over, but I promised that I would follow Kurama and stay by his side.” “You are a fool.” You suck your tongue out. “Maybe I am, but then I’m a fool in love.” Genkai smiled faintly. “There is no other kind.” “So Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama and I are leaving, Kuwabara isn’t going to be quiet about this. This will be the first time he’s been left out.” Genkai nodded glancing out the window. “They’re here.” You sat up straight. “Enma even sent his little army here. I guess they are happy to see Yusuke go.” Genkai opened the door as the people started to pour into the room. Kurama was the first to enter he walked in and sat down on the floor next to you. You kissed him on the cheek. “Hi Kurama.” Kurama wrapped his arm around your waist pulling you against him. “Hello (Name).” Hiei was next; he walked over and stood next to Kurama. Yusuke, Kuwabara and the special defense force followed after. Yusuke then explained that he was going to be leaving for the demon world. Kuwabara wasn’t happy about this. “Have you completely flipped out?!” Kuwabara seized the collar of Yusuke’s shirt. “Or did you just go back at being as stupid as you look? The demon plane isn’t a video game you know! What you’re going to do is suicide!” Kuwabara then yelled at the defense force that all they wanted was to get rid of Yusuke, which they didn’t deny. Kuwabara then turned on you, Kurama and Hiei. “What about you two?!” You guessed Kuwabara was ignoring you now. “Going to join the demons who tried to recruit you?!” Hiei said that he would. “I suppose I will too.” Kurama added. “Though not right away.” Kuwabara clutched his teeth. “So that’s how it is, huh? Just a couple of bloodthirsty demons.” You growled. “The reasons don’t matter, just so you can fight! Fine then! The demon plane’s obviously where you belong!” “Shut up!” You yelled shooting up from your seat. You slugged him in the jaw sending him flying. He landed some feet away. He groaned as he sat up slowly holding his jaw. You stood breathing heavily with your fists clutched at your side. Your head was bent down and your bangs fell over your eyes. “How dare you speak like that?” Your head shot up. Your eyes were a mix between their normal gold and red and had a trace of tears in them. “You know nothing Kuwabara so don’t think you do! You think Kurama wants to go help that bastard, you’re wrong! He’s being forced to go!” Kurama stood up and wrapped his arms around you. “It’s alright (Name). Thank you.” You buried your face in Kurama’s chest wrapping your arms around him. “(Name).” Kuwabara mumbled. He then slowly got back to his feet. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said all that.” “Kuwabara.” Yusuke placed an arm around Kuwabara’s neck and lead him a little away from the rest of you. Kurama pulled you back slightly so he could look into your eyes. “Are you alright now?” You rubbed your eyes. “Yes. I’m sorry I acted like that, but I couldn’t control myself.” Kurama gently ran his fingers though your hair calming you down. “Don’t my sorry. Thank you for defending me like that. It means a lot to me that you would do that.”“Of course I would. I love you Kurama.”“I love you too.” Kurama kissed you softly on the lips. “Could you two quit it?” You both pulled away and looked over at the short raven haired demon behind you. “You’re making me sick.” You stuck your tongue out at him. “Why don’t you go have a nice goodbye with Yukina? I know you want to.” Hiei growled grabbing the hilt of his sword. “Shut it girl or I’ll do it for you.” You placed a hand on your necklace. “I would like to see you try.” Kurama stepped in between you two. “Not here you two. There will plenty of time to fight later.” You lowered your hand. “Kurama’s right. We’ll finish this later.” “Hmph.” Hiei removed his hand from his sword. He then turned and walked away from you two. “I plan to leave after my mother gets married.” Kurama explained. “That’s a good idea, but what are you going to tell them? Who knows how long we’re going to be gone?” “I’ve already got that figure out.” The time was counting down to you and Kurama left for the demon world and there was a lot to be done. You yawned looking out the window at the view. This part of the demon world looked like a darker version of a city in the human world. Maybe humans got the idea for cities by stumbling onto this place. The sky was covered with dark clouds and bolts of lightening flashed though the sky. Suddenly the phone next to you rang breaking you from your thought process. “Kurama, you’re mom’s calling!” You called. Kurama walked into the room and picked up the phone. Kurama had made it so that whenever his mother would call the house phone, it would connect to a phone Kurama had here in the demon world. Kurama placed the phone to his ear. “Hello? Hi mom. What’s up?” Kurama paused. “Yes I’m eating well. Don’t worry.” He paused again. “An earthquake? Really?! Are you sure it was here?” Another pause. “Yes, I’m fine... Yes, (Name) is fine too. I’m meeting up with her in about an hour.... Enjoy your trip, okay?” Kurama leaned forward looking out the window you were looking out a moment ago. “Don’t worry about the house. I’ll talk to you soon, bye.” Kurama hung up the phone and sighed. “That was a good idea Kurama, giving your mother and her new husband a honeymoon abroad for the month. I know she’ll enjoy herself.” “I’m just glad she decided to move the wedding up. There was no way I could have missed that just to come to the demon world.” You smiled staring off into space as you remember it. “It was such a beautiful wedding.” Kurama wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead. “One day we’ll have a wedding just as beautiful.” You blush a little looking up at him. “Kurama?” “Oh nothing,” Kurama glanced away avoiding eye contact with you, “just thinking out loud.” “Kurama.” You whined pouting. “What?” Kurama whined back teasing you. “Tell me what you meant by that.” You gave him puppy dog eyes. “Please…” Kurama groaned lowering his head. “I can’t stand that look. How can I say no to that?” Kurama raised his head again. “I did want to do this in a more romantic surrounding, but you’ve forced my hand, my dear.” Kurama unwrapped his arms from you and then started to dig for something in his pocket. You tilted your head slightly as you watched Kurama’s movements. Kurama then pulled a small black box out of his pocket and kneeled down in front of you. You gasped placing your hands over your mouth. “(Name), I can’t see myself ever spending one day apart from you. It may not have been that long since we first met, but I know I love you with all my heart and that I want to spend the rest of our lives together. So, my love,” Kurama opened the box revealing a beautiful engagement ring, “will you marry me?” You vision started to get blurry as tears blocked your view. “Y…yes.” You swallowed. “Yes Kurama, I will marry you.” Kurama stood up and slid the ring onto your finger. He then pulled you into a tight embrace. “Thank you my love.” You wrapped your arms around him. “No thank you Kurama.” You looked up at him. “Did your mom know about this?” You remember that she teased you and Kurama about being her daughter-in-law the night you went over for dinner to meet her fiancé. “Yes, I told her before you came over for dinner. That’s why she was teasing me that night.” You buried your head into his chest. “I had a feeling.” You looked at the ring on your finger. “I wonder how the others will react.” “Genkai threatened me.” You looked back up at him. “You told her too?” Kurama smiled. “I wanted to ask her permission first.” You laughed. “I caught myself an old fashion gentleman. So what did Genkai say?” “She said that if I ever hurt you, that she would make it so my soul couldn’t transport into another body again.” “That sounds like her.” “Her and mother are the only ones who knew about this. Mom helped me pick out the ring, do you like it?” “Yes I love it, but I would love anything that you gave me.” Kurama brushed some stray hair from your face. “I’m glad I found you.” “Not as glad as I am to have found you.” You leaned up kissing him on the lips. Kurama kissed you back tightening his hold on your waist. The kiss quickly turned passionate as Kurama’s tongue slid past your lips and started to dance with your own tongue. Your own tongue twisted around his and you pushed his tongue back into his own mouth. You then sent your tongue to explore Kurama’s mouth. Once you had traced every inch, you both pulled away, slightly out of breath. You smiled throwing your arms up in the air. “Yay, no one bothered us!” Kurama smiled at your behavior. Just then there was a knock on the door. You turned your head and stuck your tongue out at the door. “Ha, you didn’t get here in time.” Kurama chuckled as he released you and walked over to open the door. Outside the door was one of Yomi’s men. He informed Kurama that a meeting was about to begin and you were both needed. “Alright, we’ll be down in a minute.” Kurama said. The man nodded and walked away. Kurama shut the door and turned to you. “We better get going.” “Okay.” You and Kurama left the room heading down the hall to the meeting room....

Bakugou x reader (pt68)"How long has this screaming been going on?" "Only a few seconds, it's stopping now. Wouldn't that stalker guys fire get rid of people instantly?" "Yes but... He likes to cool his flames down sometimes, the victim is in pain longer that way." "Can you pinpoint where he is?""Yeah, do you want me to lead you there? If it helps protect Y/n, i'll help you~" "Just leave already!" ~~Cerberus and Aizawa left along with Shirakumo, mostly because Mic also got trapped in a closet because of his quirk acting up. There is however a different problem, Ka-chan is being clingy because of Cerberus(s) light form of flirting. You should be enjoying this time together but it all feels like the calm before the storm... Like at any moment everything will fall apart, and it could. At the given word everyone could scramble to get dressed and be gone in two minutes. Leaving you to deal with your monster. Bakugou's POVAm I being petty, yes. Is it necessary, yes! That subtle charm is a killer in the long run! Wait a minute, Y/n's tensed up. "Hey." ".....""Y/n?" "....." Crap, she even feels cold, its been awhile since she's been this way. She's recently been holding it together but I guess this pressure has been affecting her this whole time. I picked her up, taking her into the room and laying down with her. Grabbing an extra blanket I rolled Y/n in it. Honestly it's cute seeing her in a burrito, but that aside I held onto her tightly. Running my hands through her hair, and quietly reassuring her. "You're always so strong for us... When this is all over, you won't have to worry about monsters... Not for a long time." No one deserves to go through this, especially not someone who's already been through so much. "Even if things end up badly... I'll find you somehow..." "I know... The void isn't the same though... I can't feel your warmth in the void..." I held her tighter. I can feel her tears on my chest... ~~~Where the hell are the Mutt and Aizawa? Recon does take awhile but knowing the mutt, he's fast, probably faster than Hawks. Actually, with those chains he might be able to end this before it begins. But would he? He'll think about some philosophical sh*t and let Y/n fight that flaming bastard. Actually i'm positive he'll pull that crap. From what that three headed mutt said, he's mainly participating to kill the Nomu. It's hard for most of us to live in a battle against one, let alone kill multiple. I never knew until I met Y/n how deep the world of heroes and villains goes... I thought it was simple, black and white, but everything is just a mess of gray. A mess of gray with darker shades and lighter ones, right now it's a swirling mass that all blends together... Damn I must be hanging around Junior too much. Getting all depressed & sh*t. I'm supposed to be the angry f*ck, not the angsty f*ck! I see the gray and tell it to f*ck off! Back to your POVYou snapped out of your disassociated state to Ka-chan muttering to himself, getting progressively more amped. "Are you okay?" "Hm? How long have you been snapped out of it?""Not long, were you giving yourself a pep talk?" "What? No! I'm fine, pep talks are for extras!" "-sigh- Anyway is Aizawa and the others back?" "No, I doubt they'd do something stupid like confront him." "They might not, but Cerberus isn't afraid of anything, or anyone. He'll probably go up and talk to him.""Do you think he's the type of betray people?" "No, as possibly offensive as this may be to him, he's part wolf, they're loyal and respect those stronger than them." "Wait... If I call him a mutt is that a slur?""That's what you're thinking about now? There's more pressing matters, if Cerberus pisses you know who off then he could be dead already! I have confidence in his skill, but at the same time... I'm not sure if he's ever dealt with a psychopath.""Can't he just turn into his massive form and eat him?" "No. Well, he could but he'd die in the process, in order to get that close during a hostile situation." The two of you continued to debate on ways Cerberus could end your problem, as time went on you grew more concerned. ~~Meanwhile with Cerberus.This guy is psychotic. It is however entertaining to watch his expression change so quickly. "You've seen her recently right~? How is she~?" I should be honest."She's stressed. Your constant pursuit and threats are torturing her." His fake smile broke instantly. Funny~"She'll know it's worth it in the end. This kind of convincing gets worse before it gets better, like a bruise." "Don't you care about her feelings?""Of course I do! I want her to love me! Anything else doesn't matter!" Pillars of unnatural flame shot up. Y/n's right, they're contained, silent, but undoubtedly scorching."That's not love. Do you only want her body?" "I've already had a taste~ She can deny enjoying it all she wants, but I know better~" That's... That's why she said that to me when bring me to the campus. "That's not love either. Do you want to protect her?" "Of course~ I never want her to leave my sight, i'll destroy anyone who looks at her~!" "If they hurt her?" "They'll be dead before they realize it." The quick break in facade doesn't get old. I stepped closer to him. Face to face."Then die already." Frozen chains clashed with contained flames, he's fast i'll give him that. I let out a low growl, making it loud enough to shake the nearby trash cans. His piercing blue eyes stared holes into me as I kept my guard up, walking away. "Think about what I said Dabi, you're her biggest threat, her only danger. You've already hurt her, yet you're standing." More clashes, more flames. I wish I could end this now, but it's not my fight. ~"Are you insane?!" "No. I just said what needed to be said.""-Sigh- You and Y/n are the same... Let's head back, i'm sure she's worried since you decided to take your time chatting with the enemy." "She carries a lot of pressure you know. You pros should reassure her more often. Or better yet, do your job." He stopped in his tracks and glared back at me, hair rising, eyes glowing. "We can't fight against a quirk like that! We're not immortal, or fire proof! We want to help her more than anything, but we'd just be in the way..." The tense atmosphere grew heavy, his hair dropped back down. "No one is immortal. I could've died just as easily back there, and could've ended this whole thing if need be. This isn't my fight, but I can tell he outranks all of you in terms of combat-""Don't you think we know!""- I wasn't finished. If you can't beat him in combat, then don't use your powers or fists, he's insanely smart in a literal sense. Use that against him, and his obsession with Y/n clearly is a weak point. If you're in this soon to be battle, stay out of the way. Say. What. Needs. To. Be, Said." I continued to walk, leaving him behind as he processed my words. Where even are we, I hate the city. ~~Timeskip~~Back to your POV"What took you guys so long, I thought you had gotten killed or captured." A brief recon trip took them an entire day!"Care to explain Moju." "No." "Did the mutt get arrested?" "No he didn't. He got lost, then arrested." "How...?" Cerberus seems to be calm and collected all the time, what did he do? "Well, when he figured out he was indeed lost and everything was too confusing. He did something stupid, he turned into his true form.""And someone saw him?""Multiple people saw him, and why was that Moju?""....." "Because he did it, in a busy street. Where dozens of civilians thought he was a Nomu, and Red cursed them out." "Pfft-! *goblin laughter*" That was Ka-chans last straw, his iconic, and rare laughter rang through the common area. "And you had to use your connections with UA and such to get him out right?" "Exactly.""That irritating encounter aside, i'd like to see you two spar, Y/n, Moju." "I can't afford to waste energy, and the only way I can fight him is as the dragon.""I agree with Y/n, her energy stockpile shouldn't be wasted." "Look, we can replace the energy with those shots, but this is an important assessment, besides you need to train your body to use less energy in your complex forms anyway." His expression is intense, he's deathly serious. ~~You were taken to a section of UA you hadn't seen before, like the other training grounds there was a large gate and tall walls, but inside is just a field. A massive, fenced, short grass field... "Aizawa..." "Yes, Y/n?" "Is this where the budget went? Into a patch of grass that can be mowed in two minutes by anyone with an appropriate quirk!" "Take it up with the board. Now get in the proper forms and in position." The very middle of the lot had the starting points. Once you both reached that area you shifted into the dragon form, and Cerberus his true. Again you found the three heads marveling at your scales and wings. On the side you had adjusted this form to be more intimidating for battle, the fin like horns now jagged spikes like that of shattering glass or ice. The scales remained the same, smooth texture that fit like latex, if they detach for any reason they decay into a pile of shards like needles. The deep blue eyes remained the same, and the blades on the tail have become serrated. An intimidating update indeed. "We'll watch from here!" Where did he get a megaphone?*BANG!*Ka-chan's the starting gun again. Neither of you have moved, sizing each other up. "I have a question. Are you guys fire proof or flame resistant?" "To a degree." "Bring it!""It still hurts..." "Alright." The second you ended that word, you dash past him, close to his side as to slash him. The claws made contact but his back leg also made contact with you. Skidding to a halt, you regrouped as he lunged towards you, not using his chains yet. The same method the same result, which is what you wanted, he surely knew this as well but not the reason. You skidded back to the starting area, more scales had fallen off, new regenerated. A loud growl was heard as they lifted their front paw. "You can thank Aizawa for the inspiration on that one~ Those won't go away until I dissolve them or they're each removed. Now, let's get serious yeah~?" A metallic rustle and hum of electricity came at you fast. The chain is the main issue, not the element around it. Using your claws you managed to slice the thick chains, making the beast recoil in shock. Taking that second to your advantage you dashed forward, leaping up and headbutting them in the chest. The new horns, dug into the flesh, tearing it nicely. It's not deep enough to hurt them or kill them, but enough to make him bleed a good bit, and to cover up any more spike traps. "Well- Done~" "You b*tch!" "Ouch..." Not gonna lie you kinda felt bad for Blue, but at the same time their emotional persona hid an overlooked power. Gallons of water spilled from the dogs eyes, it reminded you of Deku for a moment. Their plan had to involve getting you in the air, so you stayed put as water coated a large portion of the field. You and yellow made eye contact that did not waver. They bent down and the water became an electrical nightmare. It didn't really affect you though. His voltage is higher than Denki's but it only stung. While the middle head was down you shot out your tail, the blades at the end opening wide and clamping down on the base of the skull. "Red-!""I'll get it!""Don't-!" You detached the tail before the searing pain could reach you, Red's fiery mouth chomped on, tearing of scales, and filling his mouth with fire proof needles. "Idiot!" "Red..." Unable to close it's maw, flame leaked out constantly, as well as sizzling drool. Blue took advantage next, freezing the water, causing the temperature to drop. Hatsume hadn't finished your ultimate temperature resistant suit yet. Of course Red's issue ruined the plan slightly. Taking to the sky, several chains rose with you, a deep black against a clouded sun. A flurry of them raced towards you, each one barely dodged, and dodged on instinct. A gap made itself known as they were just as desperate to win this. Tucking in your wings you dropped, gaining speed and rocketing straight into Red's flames. This hellfire felt familiar, in the worse way possible. Sparks are in your throat. The impact into the ground sent more scale traps. The ice was mostly gone in the main area, a slippery mess of mud, needles and blood. Dodging you blocked as the chains chasing you made a much larger impact. A crater of sorts. More flames poured out of Red as his rage spilled over, the boiling drool became lava. Unless that heads blood is lava? It's too confusing to think about right now. "Pull yourself together!" "Red, please..." The head lifted backwards a little, making you wary and ready for anything. A blob of lava came out, flying your way and exploding into a splashing mess. A sizeable drop ripped through a wing. Your flying corrected instantly, in that instant you had shifted into the path of a swipe chain. It harshly hit your back, thankfully not tearing your coat but it did make the scars hurt more than they did. Rather than rolling to a stop you dug your wings and claws into the ground. Staying in that all fours position you let the beast approach. The burning rage welled up in your throat, a loose spray of blue flame hit chains rather than Cerberus. The chains designed to withstand literal hellfire, melted. As the licks of blue began to reach them they steps on more scale traps. Making it harder to get away. "Match!" The flames stopped after some harsh coughing and stray embers. You dissolved all needles, much to Cerberus relief. Meanwhile they looked at the melted chains, in utter disbelief. As you faded into the cat form you made something clear. "Those flames aren't a gift, they're a curse. Much like your chains I assume. It hurts and is a constant reminder of what he did. If need be, he will die from his own flames." "Not gonna lie that was kinda hot." "Leave that loser already!""Very solemn words..." Apparently, Ka-chan heard Red from the sidelines. "COME FIGHT ME YOU OVERSIZED MUTT!" He stole the megaphone. At least he knew better that to rush onto the field, your spikes may be gone but the embers and lava blobs weren't going away. "Sorry about him..." "Don't worry, he's like Red.""Scary...""COME OVER HERE AND FIGHT ME YOURSELF!"Thankfully Aizawa restrained the loud blonde before he dug his own grave, well, even further. When the two of you finally reached the sidelines you had to ask. "What do we do about the lava?" "We'll figure it out, i'm sure Todoroki and Power Loader can help." Cerberus who was now in his human form apologized. "Red rarely goes that far, Blue can't figure out a way to get right of his lava either. Might I say you had him pretty furious with those spikes." You gestured to Aizawa. "Blame him." "Red didn't want to blame you anyway so I suppose that works." Angry noises came from a nearby cocoon, a.k.a restrained Ka-chan. "Oh, right. Moju, ignore his antics." "What the hell Aizawa! I could've died in that thing!" "You didn't." "So did you gather whatever info you needed from that fight?" "Yes, you've improved your form, and tactics. The spikes aren't deadly but they are annoying, and distracting. As far as your flames you've decreased the stopping time which will save you in the long run.""Your claws are impressive as well. My chains were never meant to be cut." "They've been that strong, not much of an improvement. As there is no room to improve. In a day or two i'd like to see you fight based on speed." "Will do, Oji." "As you wish." "Oi! Quit ignoring me! I'm here too, you f*cks!" "Did you hear something Y/n~?" Cerberus being a pretentious tall prick he is, set an elbow on Ka-chan's head. A familiar move you had been victim to before. "Don't you dare f*cking laugh, shortstack!" Needless to say, you laughed until you were on the ground. ~~And that's how you ended up with Ka-chan resting his head on yours for the rest of the day, he's basically hanging off of you like a weird sloth. "Do you need help Sapphire?" "I'm fine, plus he'll probably bite you if you try prying him off." As if in response he growled. How does he even do that? "Bakugou you need to get off of baby bird. She needs her shot and I guess the stuffs deadly to anyone other than her." "Why are you in charge of it, bird brain?!" "No clue! Now get off~" Reluctantly he slid off of you, complaining the entire time. "Now where do I put the shot~?" "Just give me the syringe..." After some debate, you took the shot from him, showing that it goes in your arm, nowhere else. At least not by him. "Right, now i'm going to go pass out." Ka-chan slung you over his shoulder, you didn't protest. Exhaustion overtaking you. "Sh*t is she out already? Baby bird?" ~~Things in the void were hectic to say the least, Wraith explained that the extra energy storage is full, and that Famine had accidently pushed it too far away and they had to bring it back before it disappeared. Oboro's room hadn't vanished yet which was concerning but now Famine has turned it into his abode. The mystery spirits were treating you nicer for some reason, the biker looking one asking about your injury. Wraith must've told him. To top it off, Rui visited with some choice words... Especially about trusting Cerberus. Eventually she calmed down, after smacking you a few times, and then left to look for a suitable inheritor. That energy shot really messed you up, it was noon the next day when you awoke. ~~~~~"Finally! You've been asleep for like twelve damn hours!""Good morning to you too..." "It's one in the afternoon! Feather d*ck was supposed to give you half the shot, and instead let you take the whole thing!" "He probably had his reasons... He's a very sneaky guy." You rolled over trying to sleep more. "-sigh- Wake the hell up!" Ka-chan pulled you off the bed, letting you fall with a harsh thud. In response you rolled under the bed. "Dammit Y/n!" The door creaked opened. "What's taking so long?" "I tried to get her up and she rolled under the bed." "We need to do the speed evaluation. Come out or i'll use my chains." You were already half asleep again, not processing the threat. Cerberus POV"Okay, I gave you a chance." I sent a few chains under the bed, mind you I don't have full control over them in this body. A minute later they dragged her out... In a rather compromising position... "I'm sorry, I can't feel these things properly!" The thin chains are around her waist, between her legs, and around her neck... With her hands tied behind her back. "Then drop her you, mutt!" "I'm trying!" Y/n has a vacant look in her eyes, not a concerning one though, more like the one her professor or uncle has. Back to your POVYou want to go back to sleep. The void was less chaotic than this. Taking a deep breath, you freed your hands and slashed the chains. "Let's get this over with. If i'm sluggish blame Hawks." ~~"Okay, why is Moju quiet?" "Chain mishap. You heard that Hawks snowed me right?" "Yes. I've talked with him.""Is that why your scarf is gone?""... Just get to your places." ~"Alright, cat form first to land five hits, right?""Right.""Confirmed." Aizawa once again had a megaphone. Staying a good distance away for safety. As always Ka-chan is being used as the starting sound, willing or not. *BANG!*The two of you charged each other, dodging each other perfectly, your blood truly pumping with adrenaline for the first time in awhile. Despite the speed, nothing is a blur, it's crystal clear. Both of you have an insatiable battle spirit, which used to be bloodlust. This test of speed will come down to instinct or drive. Here's to hoping you have one of those. Aizawa's POV"Damn." "You're a professor, is that all you can say!?" "Do you have better commentary?" He stayed silent, of course. It's nothing like the memory me and the others saw. It's just as fluid but there's an urgency behind it. An actual challenge for Y/n. The extreme distance in height is another challenging factor, Moju is skilled with his legs along with his arms, low blows are nothing for him to execute. Y/n is no stranger to taking to the air either. It's such a balanced match, their ferocity is what will make or break it. A sudden battle cry snapped me out of my deep thoughts. Y/n had landed two hits, Moju one. Her hand speed is faster than his legs, in his lanky form he made distance and surprisingly got on all fours to fight. I guess that's a valid strategy. ~~~"Shouldn't we stop them, its been hours?" "They're almost done, each of them have four hits. Moju looks worse off than her." His attacks are blunt, given Y/n's flexibility she can evade the force to a certain degree. Her attacks are more brutal, slicing skin and shedding blood. Moju's strength has nothing against her claws. He's bleeding out slowly, the slashes placed in areas not deadly and not entirely harmless either. If she wasn't holding back he'd be dead by now, ancient wielder or not. In a few more bold moves, I called the match. Back to your POVA final slash along Cerberus cheek drew the match to an end. "Match!" The adrenaline drained, leaving you crouched down, both of you actually. "You sliced the more painful nerves didn't you?" He spoke through gritted teeth, simmering in rage deep down. "And you broke- Several ribs, none of them pierced anything though." "Unlike you, I can't heal." "I need to lay flat on my back to heal, the ground is too cold." Basically you're both screwed until Aizawa and Ka-chan realize you need help. Which they already seem to have noticed. "You okay, short-stack!?" If yelling from the sidelines counts as noticing."You yell to them- I can't." Damn its been awhile since you've have this many broken bones. "Nah, they need to figure it out. I won't bleed out, and you'll probably be fine." "Probably?"~"Finally, I need bandages, and Y/n needs to heal." "The hell did you do to her!?" ""Ribs."""Can you stand up?" "Ha- No." Aizawa gave Cerberus a med-kit and ran to get a heating mat from Recovery Girl. "How many?""What?""How many ribs did he break?" Ah, he's going to try fighting him again. "You're not going to fight him, Ka-chan." "Just tell me, dammit!" "... Like... Nine I think?" "F*ck-ing. Nine?! How many does a person have again, like twenty or something?" "Twenty-four, I have fifteen left don't worry." Just then Aizawa came back, the heating mat already on and... Steaming? "Is that thing safe?" Even Cerberus was worried. "Yeah it's fine, the contrast in temperatures is causing the steam." As soon as he plopped it down, you hopped on. Cerberus POV"Oh, right. You haven't seen this have you?" "What, her healing?" "It's f*cking gross." Her skin began to warp and bubble, sounds of deep crunching filled my sensitive ears. I swallowed, holding back a harsh gag as I could hear skin mending and tearing, rubbing against bone, muscle tensing beyond its limits. "Are you okay there, Moju~? You're a little pale." "You can't hear what I can, shut it!" ~~Bakugou's POVShe finally healed up and was knocked out again. That test was intense, and stupid... It pains me to see her like this, not injured that happens every other week, I mean it's bad but still. I'm talking about the stress, the pressure, the dread... At first that battle was fun for her, but then it became a fierce test of wills. The others didn't notice but anytime she cried out to deliver an attack, she was thinking of that flaming f*cker. As I thought about this, the door slid open, Mr.Aizawa and a concerned looking Nezu stood in wait. Getting up I followed them to the common room and took a seat. "Well?" "We're waiting for the others pros, All Might, Hawks, Endeavor, among others. Your classmates will be a part of this as well." "Should I wake up Y/n?" "No, she does not need to know this as of yet. When she awakes, she will come to the same conclusion." Nezu's right, we need to let her rest as much as possible, this news can't be good. ~Shoto's POVA meeting with everyone? Even my father is here... "Everyone that needs to be here is present." With that notice Nezu stood on Mr.Aizawa's shoulder. What an odd habit."To put things simply, evacuations have began. An intercepted broadcast was to out Y/n and call the battle into light. Since we have stopped his plan we suspect he will start the attack within the next twenty-four hours. The evacuations are going smoothly and quickly, roughly fifteen percent of the civilian populous has been taken to a safe location. Hatsume and Recovery girl have equipment ready for those you staying, as for the rest. Grab your gear and be ready to leave with the rest and help them along the way, unless you are one of the few staying around. If so then remain here in the common area." Nearly every one of my classmates left, Iida is still here, and so is Bakugou. "I know you'll be making me leave with the others, but until then i'm staying as long as possible, hear me?!" "Yes, we know. You will only be moved when Y/n is engaging the target." I had to ask a question."Why aren't more of our classmates staying behind to aid in this battle?" "They're too weak." Ignoring him."I wouldn't put it that bluntly but your fathers right, or partially right." Hawks then spoke."As someone who's hung out with Dabi, or your brother, he's a dirty fighter. He'll use hostages to his advantage, and you know how Y/n thinks. She values any of our lives over her own. The less of us around during the fight, the better. Baby bird also needs space to use her attacks, otherwise she'd end up hurting us." "Has she discussed tactics with you?" The odd wolf man she brought with her spoke up, I don't think i've met him... More or less everyone agreed that she talked to them about her plans, aside from my father of course. "Did she honestly leave me out of the discussion?" "Yes~ But don't worry, we'll all have communication devices and cameras and whatnot so we'll be able to avoid her attack radius. Her plan to thin out the enemies is quite simple, but highly effective~" "Indeed. I would like to think I taught her well. It is a simple draw in, then a blow out." "What?" "She's going to call the villains towards her then give them a chance to leave, if they don't they'll be dying." "Is the board really okay with that?!" "Yup~ Shota said Y/n's giving them a chance, if they stay around that's on them." "If they're Nomu i'll take care of them." This wolf man can take down Nomu? "Who are you again?" "Cerberus." "....."".....?""???" "-Sigh- Shota if you'd step over here for a minute I need to talk with you." I know that tone, good thing Mr.Aizawa can stop quirks otherwise this building will be on fire soon. ~~Back to your POVYou're in the void but... Wraith has you watching the impromptu gathering. Famine wishes to help you somehow but you're not sure how they can. Same with any other freeloading spirit in the seemingly permanent room inside the void. "I can hear what you're thinking!" Rui, you meant Rui. "Okay, okay!" You started focusing on their discussion again. They want Deku to stay as well, as requested per All Might. Guess it makes sense, but you need to train with him beforehand. He's too soft for psychological warfare though. If he starts crying while running into the main enemy then he'll get tortured and likely killed in a horrible way. It's not that you don't believe in him, but this caliber of villain is probably going to mentally break him, hopefully All Might is aware of this. Things began to shake as a feather from Hawks tried to jab you awake. ~"I get it, i'm getting up..." By your tone, he should be aware that you know. Walking into the common area, you gave them all a stoic yet sad look. "You were listening?" "Yes... Everyone knows the plan, prep shouldn't take long. Before things get heated I need to train Deku since he's staying. He really should be leaving with the others but I guess he can help Cerberus with the Nomu or with the energy shot distribution." "Scouting. I need no help with the Nomu." "Yeah scouting sounds good, I don't want young Midoriya to get too involved in the danger." "And you'll be doing the same Tall guy?" "Yes he will, Hatsume has made cameras for everyone and will be monitoring our locations along with the recently turned La Brava. Her assistance is a great asset." "Even though she's doing this to cut down Gentleman's time... as well as hers. Not exactly a change of heart there." Aizawa is always skeptical of turned around villains. "I'm staying as well." Tenko startled a few of them, guess they forgot he was there. "How can you help?" Endeavor hates turned villains it seems. Hypocrite. You spoke up for him. "He's faster than most of us, his speed rivals mine. His quirk control is nearly flawless and if buildings collapse he can clear out any major debris. If anything he's more useful than you. You and Shoto are the familial aspect of this fight, you'll go in first, try to talk, try to wear him down a bit. His rage will make him sloppy, if I see an opportunity while you're fighting i'll take it. Given neither of you mind seeing him die." You looked at them with a cold expression. Shoto's matched yours but Endeavors was actually one of concern. "You have to kill him?" "I thought that was the plan, unless you can somehow cure roughly twenty-five years of trauma before getting yourself killed then you'll have to deal with it." You changed into your feathered form, planning to visit the homeless group that had stationed themselves nearby. Endeavor had different plans, he tried to grab you, your feathered wing blocked him, the second you felt a moment of heat, you changed yet again to the dragon. Icy blue eyes met his sharp turquoise. The large hand on the leathery wing bringing back unwanted memories you hoped to move on from. "Enji, unhand my student." Aizawa's tone of voice made the surrounding air itself feel colder, his quirk may only be useful for support but his intimidation factor sky rockets when he uses it. Nonetheless, the current number one hero wasn't listening, his grip tightened. Glancing at Nezu he gave you a slight nod. Permission to defend yourself. You purposely tossed a few scales at him, they shattered upon contact, piercing the skin on his chest. Around the same area you burned your molten rage into him. "Gh-! Dammit!" In an act of defiance he pulled you towards him, the others around you had backed up, accepting that this needs to happen. Maybe not in the dorms but that doesn't matter much if the entire region gets wiped out. Jabbing a wing into his shoulder you pushed away, instantly readying yourself for another attack. Blocking a harsh punch you slid across the hard floor, while he re-readied himself you wrapped your tail around his leg and yanked him down. "Push away your damned pride! We can't injure each other right now!" "What if my son isn't the problem?!" "Don't even start you flaming f*ck! This is your fault and you know it! I'd get rid of you if I could, but you have friends, fans, people that look up to you..." Your sentence trailed off as he tensed up, now standing. Knowing he's set in his ways you watched the fight in his eyes reignite, and you finished your thoughts. "It's a shame... None of those people are your children~" Adapting the color of your eyes to his own, you mimicked a smirk he'd be seeing soon. He's speechless, stunned at your righteous confidence. "The one thing me and that psychopath you created share, our hatred for you. But I have the capacity to forgive... It doesn't mean I will if you keep denying fault. If you choose your distant, disturbed son over the whole of Japan, then you don't deserve your spot as number one hero." Your wings are at the ready, blue flame leaking from your mouth, trailing upwards. Why doesn't it hurt? "I suggest you stop fighting for the sake of everyone still in the building. About to enter a small war or not, I need to keep an eye on the budget." "I'll stand down if he does. Until he does I need to stay in this form.""Enji, calm the hell down. As someone that still wants to look up to you, I need you to stop. Dove here is right, the rest of us aren't fire-proof enough to tell you that though." Hawks put a hand on his shoulder, feathers subtly bristled if he needs removed from the building. "Umm, not to interrupt whatever this is, but you have some visitors Y/n." Mic and Shirakumo approached, before Mic got sucked into a portal and spit out in the kitchen. You melted into the cat form. "Right, is trigger happy portal man going to join me in the battle?" "I want to, i'm sure portals would make things easier but..." This time he warped Shoto outside. "I assume that wasn't on purpose?" At least he's okay with it. "Does it happen more with emotion?" "I think so?" That reminds you, have him and Tenko spoken since the whole, back to normal, and life, thing happened. "Tenko, maybe you can help him learn since you were technically around him for awhile." The somewhat scraggly geek looked up from the console game he was playing. "Tenko? You mean Tomoura?" He took a closer look, considering he looks healthier it would make sense he didn't recognize him. "I go by Tenko now... Um, what's your actual name now?" "Oboro Shirakumo, you've grown so much since I last remember you! Other than that weird dream sequence that got me here." "Anyway, you said something about visitors?" "Oh yeah! Those homeless folk are at the gate. They wanted to talk with you." Mic stayed with Shirakumo, still occasionally getting warped to different sections of the dorm. He really needs to fix that. Stepping outside you could see the sizeable group from the dorms. Jogging over to them you waited until they settled themselves down. The one you presumed was the leader stepped forward again. "We know we can't help all that well, but we've talked with Recovery Girl. She chose a few of us to stay around, carrying an energy shot and basic medical supplies. We wanted to reassure you, that if we die it's on our own accord. It won't be your fault." You looked at them, the ones staying being unsuspecting or having a partial camouflage quirk. With a sad smile you thanked them. "I know I won't be able to change your minds... I'm sure you've been briefed on the plan in case you're approached by anyone. I really hope you all make it." From behind you, you heard dramatic sobbing. Apparently Mic had came to check on you and witnessed the whole thing. Why does a stoic person like Aizawa stick around a loud and emotional person like him? Or how? Shirakumo is also present and sobbing, but keeps warping around while doing so. At least that makes the emotions theory true. ~"All Might said you wanted to train with me?" Deku looks terrified, like you said there's a chance he'll snap under the pressure. "Yep, you're cute and something tells me that'll make our enemy want to torture you longer. So, we're going to work on evasion in the city simulation while we can." "O-Okay?" You made sure he didn't run off by holding onto his hand and personally escorting him to the training ground. "Alright, i'll need you to act like you're scouting, i'll be somewhere near the center. If you run out of here i'll toss you to the safe zone myself." With a smile you left and waited for him to do his part. Sitting on a chunk of debris you relaxed, listening for movements. It shouldn't take too long but if he's being smart he'll take things slow. Meanwhile you couldn't help but wonder if Suzume already evacuated, if Toga knows about her, she might be planning to kidnap her. She'd technically be safe with Toga but the whole area will be volatile. Not to mention if there are burnt bodies, Suzume's quirk will make her sick from the smell... Hopefully Nezu already thought of this and put out a bulletin out on her. A short skidding sound brought you out of your thoughts, whatever stone Deku had scattered stopped suddenly. Truthfully the real battle will be filled with sounds and sirens, this is harder than the actual scenario. The complete silence makes any noise he produces all the louder. Walking around the source of the sound you easily spotted him, acutely aware of All Might and a few others watching from a screen. Without hesitation you dashed into him, he skidded to a stop a short distance away. Making a T with your hands you reminded Deku of his objective. "Deku, evasion, remember? You taking a moment to look at your pursuer will get you killed or very injured. Now run~" His quirk activated instantly, sparks of green carrying him away at alarming speeds. Alas while mimicking the enemies speed you caught up and tripped him. The moment he came to a stop you were on top of him, pinning him to the ground with your foot on his throat. "Keep in mind i'm acting when I say and do these things, yeah~?" Deku tried his best to nod. Rather than talk right away you sent him flying again with a kick to the side. Catching up and pinning him again, this time straddling his waist, and putting your hand on his head."You could be reduced to ash right now~ If I remember you were called her brother right~?" Your grip on his hair tightened, he's been struggling this whole time, making little progress. Deku's attempts got stronger, lifting his head and hitting it against the pavement you dazed him. Mind you the hit wasn't too hard. "-sigh- I'm ending this training session, I can't go through with hurting you. Besides the risk of you running into him are low." Helping him up you couldn't help but feel bad, with a sigh you pulled him into a hug. Surely Ka-chan will let this slide given the circumstances. "I'll make sure i'm not caught... I don't want you to blame yourself if I do, alright?" He's tearing up, muttering these words into your shoulder. "I know you'll do your best Izuku." That broke the dam of tears, holding you tighter to his chest he started sobbing. Maybe Hatsume can hook him up with a stealth item? She has a lot on her plate right now, that hasn't stopped her before though. A feather came in and lifted Deku away from you, this can't be good. ~~"Has it started?" The stoic expressions on everyone's faces answer you. "Unfortunately, he has not attacked anyone yet but any masses he has gathered are moving out. Some trying to attack evacuation teams. Nomu have been spotted in random locations but none have been around civilians. We will begin to move out as well, Hatsume is here to supply everyone... And Y/n know that I love you, my daughter." Holding back tears you crouched down to hug Nezu, whether they admit it or not a few pros were tearing up as well. "Everyone knows their roles, and everyone knows to be careful. What you should also know is that I will feel horrible if any of you die or get hurt and probably blame myself." "Yeah we know that too, baby bird... That's a bad habit to have." "Let's get equipped and ready, Bakugou, be with at least two people at all times." "Make it three.""Three people, you know the deal." Aizawa glared the fear of death into him. Before he could be dragged away you hugged him, much like you did with Deku but Ka-chan's grip was a a lot tighter. Not the bone-crushing type of tight, but the type as if he was afraid to let you go. Putting his head in your shoulder, he took deep breaths, calming himself and to be honest, trying to not cry. "Don't die out there, dumb*ss..." "Same to you..." He doesn't do sappy goodbye's, never has. In your own special love language this alone was that sentimental farewell. Even though everyone else was judging him harshly. Especially the ladies. "Are you serious, your lover is going to war and that's what you say!?" Mina and Toru being the loudest advocates. "Shut up! Go make yourselves useful!" We broke the hug, giving each other a small smile before you headed towards the main building. ~"There you are! Come on! I've tested these babies don't worry!" The fact she had to say that is concerning... In seconds you were pushed behind a curtain as she brought an assortment of vests, sleeves and small hidden cameras. Each were quickly strapped onto you with impressive precision. "And, these babies will adapt to your forms~ No matter how different or diverse!" Considering all the effort she put into these you couldn't help but to hug her too. Your similar height saving you from an embarrassing situation. "Thank you." "Aww~ You're such a sweetheart under all that scary strength~ No need to thank me." She explained your gear, the cold resistant jacket, the improved water proofing, improved fire proofing, and the various little cameras hidden through out. Finally she handed you a little earpiece and how to turn it on. With a pouch you could carry at least two energy shots, the pouch itself was very secure and would hopefully prevent them from breaking or being set on fire. A sudden voice in your ear alerted you that Endeavor and Shoto were setting off, after you took care of a few things you'd be meeting up with them. By that time they'll likely be fighting the enemy. ~~~Meanwhile with ShotoWe rode in the armored car in silence, several villains tried to hit or upturn the vehicle as we got closer to the main target. It should be time for Y/n to get rid of them. Soon after that thought we heard the warning through the earpiece. 'Stay away from this towns center your guys tablets should tell you the radius.' The driver, who i've been told is Reimando, pulled up the tablet only to quickly take a few turns at a reckless speed. "Hey! A warning would've been nice!" "Be quiet, do you wanna get skewered?!" My father simple grumbled a few choice words. Any surrounding villains started moving towards the center, this car is sound proof. Y/n is surely calling out to them. Back to your POVThe trip to where you are now wasn't easy, you had come over here with Cerberus who immediately found a Nomu. He took it down with ease. But you had also brought Deku to the outskirts of the city. It was hard watching him disappear into the allies. It was hard to leave the campus at all... Knowing civilians and a few heroes are in the same city as a reckless monster. If something happens to All Might a certain pair would never forgive you, despite what they say. Hopefully the gear Dave made him will keep him alive. Your presence drew in more, and more villains. Your dragon forms intimidating wing-span drawing them to you. A few with ranged quirks tried to attack only for you to deflect, others knew better and waited for you to speak. Looking around you looked at the hoard of people, if your eyes unfocused they'd be a blur of grey. So many faces, so many reasons, every one about to make a life or death decision. "Hey! Listen up!" You waited a moment for them to be quiet. "Alright. If you're a civilian, leave. If you're a villain who had no other chances, no hope... And wish to change things, leave. If you're a villain who truly wants to hurt people for your own joy, stay. I will give you a few minutes, those who stay, prepare to fight." Your piercing gaze made a few of them question your words, a good number stood their ground, the rest managed to trickle away without incident. This is going to be a mess. Tapping a button that Hatsume had placed on your shoulder, you set off a signal of warning. Giving a proper radius for the others to avoid. Time ticked by and you readied yourself, crimson quills slowly emerging from your body. "Those of you who have stayed... I'm truly sorry." At top speed and highest strength, every quill shot out. A battle that would take hours, over in seconds. Thin coated quills went through every body, concrete, any quirk or barrier, bone, armor, metal... A loud, crowded city center, reduced to a graveyard of the vile or overconfident. Blood seeped out of the fresh cadavers, the asphalt turning a deep red. A few groans could be heard, as the quills dissolved they'd soon meet their fate, their wounds bleeding faster since the object plugging it is gone. Pressing your earpiece, even though the camera clearly caught everything, you told the rest. 'It's done. I gave the ones who left time to to get away, not sure where they are now. Would you like me to count the bodies?''I- I got it, dove. You keep moving.''On it, has Shoto made contact yet or is the enemy staying low?''We're still looking.' Stepping down from the rubble you had used as a perch, you walked around the bodies, is it bad that seeing the cadavers brings back a sense of nostalgia? After this you'll have to talk with Reimando. Maybe book a couple of sessions actually. Really everyone in your class probably needs therapy, Shoto does at least, maybe Shirakumo as well. Continuing to venture into the city you changed back into your cat form. Ears twitching at the slightest movement. In reality you know that your opponent wouldn't make any sounds, he learned from the best. A few other villains you knew however, weren't the quietest... "Oh, Y/n! Hi, hi, hi!" Toga came running towards you, knife surprisingly sheathed as she hugged you from behind. "T-Toga? You shouldn't be here." She held you a little tighter, nuzzling into your neck. She's more stable, or is at least acting like it. "I know, I wanted to see you before I ran away." She let go, sharp smile as wide as ever. "Toga, you need to be careful. When this is all over, there might be someone that can help you out." "I know, I know! I'll work on it, I met my sister by the way! She told me about how you helped her! I feel, normal when i'm with her." Putting a hand on her shoulder you smiled at her, your own little fangs showing. "That's great, she's already evacuated right?" "Mhm, your little mouse helped her leave, and Y/n, you can call me Himiko." "Alright, Himiko. I have to get moving, be safe." She hugged you again, this time handing you her knife. "You too Y/n." She quickly disappeared into the city, she likely knows her way around it better than you do. For some reason, her giving you the knife makes your heart feel heavy, but in a good way? Taking it from its sheath you noticed how clean it is now, its surface is nearly like a mirrors. What other villains will you encounter here that wish to surrender... You only know a few that aren't in prison that might have a change of heart. Love can't help you in this situation, he could try but he'd be killed pretty quickly. War and his crazy weapons wouldn't help either unless he was released for this, and made a long distance weapon that wouldn't break in two seconds. Twice is likely undecided whether or not he's leaving. Spinner or whatever his name is has his own agenda, same with Compress. This might be more complicated than you thought. ~~You've been wandering around for awhile now, at least an hour or two. Frequent call-out checks have been going through the ear pieces, until someone stopped replying. Tenko. 'Double tap to send your location if you're still alive.' *shuff-shuff*The sound of the microphone being tapped came through, a few others have a tablet to give them information, you'd end up breaking yours so you have nothing. 'Alright Y/n, he's a few blocks ahead, we don't know his situation so proceed with heavy caution.' 'On it.' Scaling a building you moved across the rooftops, maintaining a silent foot-fall until you were told to stop. Beneath you in an alleyway is a trapped Tenko, to your relief it's not your main enemy. It is however some sort of goo monster... Didn't Ka-chan fight one? Moreover why can't Tenko dissolve it? Shifting to the dragon form and dropping down, you whipped your tail out to grab him. Thankfully the creature didn't have much of a grasp in the first place. "You're not... The blonde... Nor the cat..." He might be a mix of a Nomu and a villain. "Nope, now i'll warn you once, surrender or die." With a look you told Tenko to run, and damn he is fast. "I cannot... Surrender... I'll die either way..." Its voice is gurgled and warped, this person or thing must be in pain. "Then i'm sorry." Flame filled your throat as you readied your attack, the creature didn't move. A mercy killing? Something about this doesn't seem right. Swallowing the flames back, which hurt like a f*ck, you spoke into the ear-piece. 'Have your hacker test this mass for signals, I think this poor soul is a camera or tracker.' 'On it, do not engage unless necessary.' Your main response have been from Aizawa, he's probably at the main communication center. Staring the mass of dark slime you didn't move, or even dare to look away. Other than the occasional pop or shudder, it didn't move either. How long is this going to take? Their hacker lady is skilled right? Unless the opposition has their own super hacker.'Hey, is La Brava finding it hard to hack? There could be a computer specialist on the other side of this battle. It would explain how he planned to broadcast to so many screens without killed another reporter.' A high pitched voice you weren't familiar with answered you. 'Yeah, yeah, but i've won that little battle now. They'll probably toss their pc out the window~' 'How- Nevermind, is Y/n right about the slime Nomu?''She is, i've stopped its transmissions though. Good luck, girly, maybe we can meet after this.' The blob is motionless, is it dead? It's collapsing so... For good measure you summon your flames again and sprayed a small amount of fire onto the deflating sludge. It's on fire, not reacting. Guess that's a problem solved, unless there's more of them.'We have eyes on Toya.'

Bakugou x reader (pt66)A week or so had passed, since then you had built up a decent energy reservoir, not through explicit means either. That reserve will probably be spent tonight though. Aizawa wanted to make sure that your wound wasn't going to get infected or suddenly rip back open due to an energy drop, so his little 'void field trip' was postponed, until tonight. There hasn't been any attacks or escalation's in crime since that last broadcast, which is oddly unsettling. During the day you had continued training the select few, bringing up the idea of training Tenko to Nezu and any heroes that knew, basically just Aizawa since Hawks was too 'busy' to train anyone. As much as he hated the idea he said he'd think about it, weighing the pros and cons of having him, supposedly, on our side. Which brings us up to speed. Standing on a familiar, cold beach you and the ever tired professor, stood and waited. "Are you sure he's coming?" "He knows better than to not show up. When he's not on a mission, no matter the intent, he procrastinates. It's in his nature to laze around." "True. In his former attacks he hardly did anything himself." "Don't judge him through his past entirely... I want this to go smoothly." ~Five to ten minutes later, Tenko arrived. Still wearing a hoodie, but looking as if he tried to fix his appearance, just a little. "What took you so long, ya geek?""Shut up! I was doing stuff..." His pants looks new, same with the shoes. "Ah, I see. You wanted to look better for Oji here~" "Uncle?!" "-Sigh- It's a long story, here put these on." Aizawa handed him a pair of gloves, they seem to be special made with the ring and pinky fingers being the only covered while the rest are exposed. Then again it could be a pair of sports gloves, they seem familiar. "You showed me your control over your quirk before but if you get emotional or physically exhausted I don't want to risk and accidental trigger." "Do I need to be here for this or?" "You're a witness, i'll assess his skill on my own. Any objections?" "Not really, as long as this isn't an elaborate trap i'm good to go." "Also what name do you go by now?" "Tenko, only because I can't decide and that little sh*t over there keeps calling me by it." "Would you rather be Hansha still?!" "Shut it! Go catch a fish or something you damn cat!" "Hansha?" "That was her made up name for me, it means 'reflect' I get the symbolism, it's stupid nonetheless!" "I should've called you a prick instead!" Aizawa sent you a glare, time to stop. The two of them talked about something before they began. You however decided to look for another tide pool nearby, or anything odd on the beach. The oddest thing as of now is the lack of trash for once... Has Tenko been cleaning the beach in his spare time? If he did that's awesome, but you can't help but wonder if he's decayed a few crabs in the process on accident... Maybe even a few fish. It's unclear if his quirk spreads faster in water, Deku might have a theory for that. Listening closely you could hear a distant disturbance in the ocean. A shark? No one's in the water so it should be fine but this swimming pattern is weird. You shouldn't be able to hear it, could this be a hidden Nomu? Unless there's an injured or deformed predator then this is a problem. On the positive side you've been carrying the water shield that Hatsume made anytime you leave campus. Sliding it on, you shot a quill towards the dueling duo. Tenko's POVOuch! I was about to beat him, why the hell-?! Y/n is staring into the sea, a ways off there's a gurgling in the water. "Any idea what that is?" "Don't start suspecting me now, I could've killed you a lot sooner if I wanted to! Without the help of a damn Nomu!" "I'd like to believe you, but I suppose this could make sense, a week of peace. A water Nomu is probably a precaution at best." A few spikes went into the water, with closed eyes Y/n scoped the creature out. Suddenly she shot several more into the sand leading up to her, leaping back to avoid what could've been a disaster. A large, grey... Thing? It's like a tentacle but the end is weird, its like it splits into smaller ones. Can't tell if it's a hand or if it sucks in its victim. "Hey! Tenko, do your thing!" "W-What?! I-" Turning my head to Aizawa I was shocked to see him agree. Right, Y/n can't get wet or cold, this thing would be a death sentence. Ripping off the gloves I charge right for the stuck appendage. Those quills stuck it into the sand. Pouring my focus into the potency of my quirk I made contact, intent on ending this thing now. Next thing I knew, I was in the air. Back to your POVAnother tentacle had emerged from the sand, the bubbling water grew more violent and got closer, if this thing is like the others it could regenerate limbs. Tenko is now sailing through the air, the prior tendril gone, this new one in a violent rage. Luckily Aizawa sprung to catch him. There's not a lot you can do in this situation, ranged attacks aren't ideally your specialty. "Hey! If you guys can keep it away from me I can use quills to find the main body and take it out." In response you received two thumbs up, one a bit wobbly but still. Scaling a nearby tree you shot out crimson tipped spines, letting them fly through any and every-thing in their path. That being said, you may have killed a tiny crab... Collateral damage. The creature must have a cloaking quirk, it's a mass of cloudy, black appendages, some resembling hands, others more tentacles. Shooting even more quills into the water you lined them up until they were surrounding the mass. In a blink you tore into it, the water turned red, but as the movements slowed down a barrage of tendrils shot out in a last ditch effort to cause as much damage as possible. Continuing your brutal attack, a tendril made it past Tenko and Aizawa. This creatures objective is to capture then kill, instead of slapping you away or stabbing into your body, it wrapped around you tightly. When it hit Tenko earlier it must've been a fluke. Analysis aside, your arms feel like they're about to snap, in a fast pull you found yourself a couple feet from the water. Time seemed to slow down, the cold, grey torrent an enemy you can't fight. Forcing your eyes shut a million things flashed through your mind, the frigid engulfment never came. A familiar wrap did however. When did the tentacle let go? Opening your eyes, a pile of dust laid on the sand, from the black & light blue haired mans stance he's letting this attack trail all the way to creatures main body. When you were grabbed your quills dissolved since your concentration broke, as well as a few bones maybe... That could be a problem. The shock hadn't worn off yet, Aizawa was saying something you simply blinked up at him. Aizawa's POVShig- Tenko, reacted faster than I could... The brief moment he saw what the enemy was doing he acted, and reached Y/n in less than a second. The tentacle dissolved around her, leaving her unscathed while the rest of the creature fell victim to decay. Y/n is still stunned however, she's semi-responsive but can't seem to hear me. "-Sigh- Do you think it's dead?" And he's fine? No, his skin is slightly going back to its dry state, and his hair is tinted in that greyish blue, not entirely there yet. "You're acting too casual about this... From what i've heard and witnessed before, I was under the impression you were lazy. What the hell was that?" "Didn't she tell you I was fast too? If not i'm throwing her in the water when the weather warms up." "She mentioned something like that, but I thought she meant faster than average... Not faster than me." "Did the little hero forget how dangerous I am~?" "I'm taller than you. Don't push your luck. Can you hear us yet Y/n?" I looked back down at her, not yet releasing her from my binding cloth. "I've been able to since Tenko showed up, nice to know that you two are getting along~ Also, could you ease the wrap, my arms may or may not be broken." "You're starting to get as bad as Midoriya with these injuries." "My bones aren't a liquid like his were, this is an easy fix, and a good way to show today's M.V.P how I heal~" She's right, this could be entertaining~ Laying my own jacket down I helped ease her to the ground. Her arms are broken but not to the point the bone is showing, still painful. Then the process began, her arms are pulsing and nearly bubbling as per-usual. "That's normal?! She's practically turning into a final boss! The f*ck?!" As amusing as his freaked out voice is, he's clinging onto me... Annoying little sh*t. "Okay, let go, she does this normally. It shouldn't take long, a week ago she was basically disemboweled, on accident, and healed it up the same day." "What? How do you accidentally do that?" "Rogue quirk, could've been worse." "I'm guessing she was calm the whole time too?" "Yep." "-Sigh- Such a dumb*ss..." Back to your POV"I can hear you guys. I finished healing a minute ago but my arms hurt like a b*tch." Both of them helped you up, and you headed back into town. "Well, what do you think of this geek now?" "I'll talk to the others, but if they agree to let him on campus he's staying with you." "He can't stay with Togata? He knows about him, so does Amajiki, and Deku, which to be fair that might traumatize Deku so never-mind that, but Ka-chan will toss him out of the nearest window." "I agree, i'd rather not be housed with the angry Pomeranian." "That's the terms if they agree, you'll be safe." "Well, safer. No direct attacks from our main enemy. From elementals or Nomu, possibly." "Does someone have a gaming set up?" "Denki does, Shinso could, Kirishima might have handheld systems... I'm leaning towards Denki, he won't figure out your identity immediately and if he does he'll be scared stiff and leave you alone." "We'll see, let's head back Y/n. Here, take my number Shi- Tenko?" "Yeah sure, why not. I still can't decide what I want to be called." "If you send me messages that aren't important, i'm crushing your phone." "What about memes, are they important?" "....." "Let's get going, Oji~ We have a busy night!" ~~~The day passed quicker than usual, now in one of the many gymnasiums you and those who're entering the void set up temporary beds. Ka-chan clearly planning to share yours, he wanted a sleeping bag given the run in you had earlier but there'd be a risk of him either tearing it, or killing you. Aizawa was more concerned for the sleeping bag. "So any rules in the void or whatever you call it, dove?" "You guys shouldn't be able to leave the room we start in, but if by chance you do, don't try to walk out. The spirits and I can walk the abyss but no one else seems to be able without falling." "What is the outcome if someone falls?" "Waking up or death, not sure. I remember when we were kidnapped I shattered the rippling floor to break out of Compress' marble. That doesn't guarantee anyone else's safety though. A heads up in case any of you get irate, quirks don't work in there, and I have a certain amount of control over the people i'm sharing the cube with~" "She can make you feel pain she's felt, it's f*ckin' horrible." "You asked me to show you!" "You could've said no!" "Like you'd accept that answer!" "Alright, is everyone's bed situated? I've already taken ten milligrams of melatonin." "Isn't that a lot?" "Not for me it isn't. Now everyone shut up." Mic needs to talk to him about his sleep medication intake. As you laid down, Ka-chan practically wrapped himself around you as if you'd be taken away. Which after you explained what happened he had a reason to be this protective. Making yourself sleep you faded into the void. ~Such a large space... A dull ache in your head signaled that you were at your limit, at least with the amount of people you could have in one cube. Not to mention getting out of Ka-chans grip was difficult in this realm too. Making sure there weren't any blurs left you started to wake them up. Shaking Aizawa managed to wake him, rolling Hawks over woke him up, and you woke up Endeavor by kicking him. Not at full strength obviously, honestly you regret it because it felt like you kicked a steel beam. "Alright that's everyone correct? Ka-chan didn't want to be a part of this so he's staying asleep, don't worry about waking him up." "Oh~ More guests~?" "Who's this lady?" "She forgot to mention, this is Wraith. An ancient quirk user that latched onto her while she was overseas, she helps manage Y/n's energy and ultimate moves." "Ultimate moves?""Yeah, when I use certain variations I need her to prevent me from killing ally's or from causing too much damage." "Is she trustworthy?""I certainly am~ I recall Y/n having quite the amount of wrath towards you~ V.I.P~ I too felt that pain, I feel everything she does~" "Cool it Wraith, we're figuring this enemy thing out alright. You saw me rage blast him into a wall, i'd say we're even for now. Also I might need extra energy, we're looking over memories again." "You better not use up everything you've saved again~!" "The longer we're chatting the more likely that is, please exit the domain." "Alright, the awake one has been quiet lately by the by~ I suggest this one and his loud friend pay him a visit soon~" "Here in the void?" "No~ In the waking realm, child~" With that she exited, leaving Aizawa in near shambles. "Let's get this going so he can freak out while awake, i'll pull up a screen and the memories will play out like a movie, i've managed to format them in a third person perspective to make things easier for you." ~"Okay, which do you want to start with? Close combat, flame training, or how we met?" "Combat training." "Yeah I wanna see how cute & bad*ss little dove was~!" "Focus, Keigo!" Hawks POVThe memory started with her explaining to a young Dabi the rules since they had both gotten better. Five slashes and your out. What followed next was brutal, constant back and forth attacks, neither gave each other a moment to breathe or regroup. It became a matter of brutality, who was willing to push the limits to win. Needless to say, Y/n doesn't have that much ambition... Dabi allowed himself to take a hit in order to deliver three consecutive slashes, a sawing motion... In retaliation she landed another slash but not without consequences, he pushed her to the ground, pinning her and delivering the final blows. Shota tensed at what happened next. The knife pushed into her chest ever so slightly. 'You'd be dead now~' Those words shook him to his core. As she was switching things around Y/n let out a sad chuckle."Okay what am I missing here that you two know?" "I picked up delivering that line while training... I didn't realize that until now. Flame regimens next." ~Endeavor's POVThat training was intense, but at the same time he didn't break... He wasn't crying or begging for her to stop... She set limits, set a goal, and likely would've stopped if he asked. This young girl was a better parent to him than I was. Now we're seeing the early progress of the quirk training. The small girl handed him a paper, rough but legible writing explained what to do. A young Toya headed into a small wooded area, reducing it to ashes in a matter of minutes, the switch between constant heating, bursts of flame, and steady streams. When he started to lose his footing she ran over to him, ignoring the risk and forcing him to stop. 'What the hell?! I'm fine!''You're not! Look at your hands!' Since his flames were already turning blue at this point, the burning of his skin had begun.'I'll be fine, quit worrying so much. Worry about yourself.' 'I know you don't mean that Toya, calm down... Please.' The memory cut. Looking over to Y/n I saw Hawks flinging himself over her, arms over her shoulders. "You were so cute baby bird~! So brave too~" "Don't make me wake up Ka-chan." "What is the next memory?" "A recollection of how we met, and how it ended..." ~~~Aizawa's POVI think everyone here is tearing up, I am, Hawks is actively sobbing while clinging onto Y/n, and Endeavor is oddly still. "Okay Keigo let go of her before you're taken by Wraith." "Taken in what way?" "Whatever you consent to, she's kinda shameless in that department... Doesn't mean I endorse it! Anything else you want to see?" "I- I want to see what happened when I- Don't remember what I did that night..." "On it, i'm coming to terms with that. Now if this one will get off of me, i'll get it ready!" ~Seeing a slightly younger Y/n lined up like cattle waiting to be sold wasn't what I expected to see tonight. She insists that nothing 'intimate' happened, I still don't like this. Her little perch or stage whatever had flowers around it, and special advertising. Then a stumbling Endeavor found his way over to her. The deluxe room wasn't very impressive either... The fish tank is the only nice thing about it. The real problem started after she shifted, she let her guard down and it was over. He's faster drunk. The memory kept going right up to the point she chewed out Tsukuachi and met Nezu."Anyone want to feel that pain, while I have a little more time left?" ....."C'mon you're supposed to be pros~ Then you'll know how burning to death feels, and avoid it at all costs~ I can ease the pain the moment it's too much." "Alright, hit me with it, baby bird!" Hawks POVI'm not letting her call me a coward, even if it's in a roundabout way! Turning around she touched my forehead, my body suddenly exploded into pain from the inside out. Nothings happening physically, my skins fine but I can feel the bubbling, the flames licking up the side of my skin... "St- Stop-!" I collapsed after going back to normal... "Any other takers~?" Endeavor's POV"Those burns on your back... They were inflicted on you because of me, yes?""Correct, I take it you want to feel their burn?" "Yes, the full extent." "Are you sure? If it's too bad i'll stop on my own considering I was knocked out for the remaining seven or eight." "Do it." "Can you bend down a little...?" The height difference slipped my mind momentarily. Back to your POV"Right..." Touching his forehead you saw him stiffen. At first you were like that, then the pain started. Rather than screams, a low groan sounded from the pro. So far he's handling it well, while he processed the pain you pulled up the memory paired with it. This one, you didn't watch with them. He's on the second burn, where the screen started to go blurry, where you could hear the crack of bone before things faded to black. That doesn't mean you can't copy the pain to the other burns for this example. "Okay Y/n you can stop." "He hasn't told me to yet." "Sh- She's r-right-" Stubborn pride. Meanwhile Hawks was sticking his tongue out, pressing it into his hand to test how strong he'd have to press... Why is he here again? Whatever, in the distance you could hear a rumble. Stopping the pain simulation you addressed the concern. "Our time here is done, one of us is waking up soon, if not all of us. You'll fall back asleep and then wake up. Don't panic~""Baby bird, I really don't like the way you said that-" *Thud!*~~~~~"Took you long enough! What the f*ck were you doing in there!?" "-Sigh- Memories, pain simulations, more crying than expected of the pros. Typical of bringing anyone to visit the void." "Depressing sh*t then." Despite just sitting you up, he pulled you back down into the makeshift bed. Embracing you tightly and not giving you room to move or struggle. "This your way of comforting me?" "Yes, shut up! Let me do this!" Nuzzling your head into chest or collar bone area you rested a little longer. His iron grip loosened when he felt you relax. Hawks POVI woke up when I heard Bakugou shouting, now they're having a serene moment, time to ruin it~ "Can I join in on this, seeing all of that context made me emotional too~" Getting behind Y/n I squeezed my arms between the two of them and made it a group hug. Bakugou wants to blast me so badly right now~ But if he lets go of Y/n that'll be admitting a loss~ "Birdy, not to embarrass you but you have a bit of a 'morning' problem." "I'm not embarrassed, baby bird~ Maybe if the others saw, so I guess i'll have to hide here until it goes away~" "Ka-chan before you blast him to oblivion let me consult Wraith real quick." Bakugou's POVHuh?! Is she saying that this behavior could be due to the void?! I could see Y/n's eyes flickering back and forth behind her eyelids. Once she snapped out of it, she had an irritated look on her face. "It's not the void entirely... Rui sort of, got ahold of him some time between him waking up fully and when I left. Wraith doesn't know the full details but here we are." "Ah, I vaguely remember seeing pretty green lights~ I knew she had a thing for me~" "Time was cut short and they didn't really get to, ya know-" Before she could keep explaining Mr.Aizawa's scarf wrapped around Hawks and tried to drag him away. Since feather d*ck has a tight grip, and so do I, we were all dragged. "Okay. That's enough Hawks. Let them go before I have Endeavor drag you away." "Please do~" "The f*ck is wrong with him?" "Pfft-!" I've never heard Mr.Aizawa curse before! Hearing those words in such a dull way is hilarious!"Rui happened. In the short time between when I woke up and when he woke up she had some 'interactions' with him." "Of course she did. How do we fix him?""From what I gathered you have to let him ride it out, he'll be fine in a few hours." "A few hours?!" "Can I sedate him?" "It's not preferred but if he doesn't let go Ka-chan will do it for you." "Damn right." Are his hands moving? His hands are moving. Since he's behind Y/n there's only two ways this can go, both end in me blasting the f*ck out of him. He went with the less forward option, her boobs. "Mr.Aizawa, get this dumb*ss before I kill him!" ~~Back to your POVLet's just say that Hawks did end up sedated, thankfully by a professional rather than Ka-chan or an annoyed pro. Shuzenji did however go a little overboard in her execution of sedating him... She brought out a tranquilizer gun, and used a bird mating call... It looked like duck season in the gym. Now you're back in the dorms, trying to figure out who to train next, of course Endeavor, Aizawa and a still knocked out Hawks were with the other pros to discuss what they had seen. They specified that you're not allowed to train any student the same way, considering they would likely fail and be injured. You did however forget to explain hostage situations to Ka-chan. He probably won't listen, but its something to do. "Hey, Deku, are you busy right now?" "Not really, did you need something?" "Yes, I need you to help me train Ka-chan, it's not physical like you're thinking, it's hostage training!" "Am I going to be the hostage...?""Maybe? Unless you don't want to that is." "I'll do it, I get the importance of being on either side of the scenario!" So determined. But he's too innocent to take hostage. Looking around the dorms you found Ka-chan trying to convince Iida into training with him. Iida being the intelligent guy he is, kept refusing. "Ka-chan! I didn't train you for hostage situations yet, c'mon." Dragging him away you saw the blue haired nerd bow from the corner of your eye. Waving to him while taking the, now thrashing, blonde, you decided it would be better to have privacy for this brand of training. "Why are we in your guys' room?" "This isn't a highly physical session, plus it would look weird to the others who don't know about this. Anyway, if you find yourself being held hostage by a powerful villain or otherwise, what do you do?" "Threaten them." "Listen to their demands." As if you need to explain whose answer was whose..."I guess a threat wouldn't get you killed immediately... But Deku is right. Now the villain or whoever has stated their demands, what is the correct course of action?" "Escape.""Cooperate." "-Sigh- Ka-chan... Come here for a minute." Complaining the entire time he came over, you instantly put him in a headlock, not a super tight one, but enough to immobilize him. "How are you going to escape?" He struggled, even resorting to using his quirk, which had no effect, before finally going limp. Deku panicked, but you knew better."Playing dead won't work every time... Especially if your captor has a vendetta.""Okay, brat. What if the villains demands are for you to die?" "Stall them. Keep them talking, whether it be the reason or something about their past that won't piss them off more." "W-what if they want you to do something... You know..." "Cooperate as necessary. If doing that saves you time, if it saves others, then you don't have a choice. As long as you remember your goal, then nothing else matters." "You can let me go now." "I don't feel like it, in a rare case that a villain wants you to kill someone else, you'll have to stall, and try to communicate to that person to play dead, or... How sorry you are in extreme cases." The headlock on Ka-chan had turned into some variation of a hug at this point. "B-But, what if it's someone you're friends with!?" "If they're awake then you'll have to talk to them about it, what their wishes are. If not, you have to think about them as a person, what would they want, they'd die a hero in that case. And if you can't go through with it, you'd be their hero." .........."Hostage training is important, i'm sure you two know why i'm teaching this to you guys in particular. You're the most likely to be taken. The others will learn later on in their classes." "And flaming bastard junior is psychotic, does that change the answers?" "Not really, you have to hope they work, maybe improvise if those techniques don't work. Psychopaths like to know that they're right, that they're in charge, that they're plan was worked perfectly. Keep their ego going and they might let you live longer." "I guess that makes sense... I didn't know things could get this grim." "It usually isn't this bad, but there are a few monsters out there that make this information necessary..." "What about the sludge villain, a situation where you're already dying and can do nothing?" "Think, try to figure out a plan, if that doesn't work you have to hope that someone finds you before it's too late." On that note, Deku lost a few shades of color and proceeded to have a crisis. From what you recall this means he almost died twice when encountering the odd slime, but never knew just how lucky he was to be saved until now. "Great, you broke the nerd. How are we going to throw him out if he's already dead to the world?!" "He'll snap out of it eventually. You had to learn this info sooner or later, I honestly expected him to end up crying but i'm not sure if this is any better." A slight chuckle left you as you could practically see a small outline of his soul trying to leave him. "Let me see if this works... Thought you'd be writing this down Deku, it is important information that any hero needs- And he's gone already." "But i'm in the wrong for calling him a damn nerd?! How many journals does he have?""Probably a lot, no clue where they are but there's likely several on me alone." He muttered something under his breath, along the lines of 'F*ckin' nerd' before focusing on a different problem. "Are you going to let go of me now? You've had me like this for half an hour!" Resting your head on top of his, as this is one of the few chances you had due to height, you adjusted yourself to make him more comfortable. "No~" "If my hair goes back to being flattened and combed from this, i'm gonna fight you." Deciding to let him have his moment, you didn't respond, remaining in that position for a few more minutes before releasing him and falling back on the mattress. Unsure of what to do with the rest of the day. Train more? If you trained Iida and the others too much they'd be too weak if an emergency happened. "Are you good?" "I have nothing to do...""Spar with me then." "I'm not allowed to at the moment. Pro stuff." "Bullsh*t! They said not to knife anyone!" "Like you'll except less than my harshest training?" "....." "That's what I thought." ~~~Considering you'd been laying around for a few hours, you decided to see what's in the kitchen, maybe you could cook again. There's always fish in the freezer due to Kirishima having his 'sources'. For this you'd need fresh eel, and certain spices & roots, and rice... More or less, you need to make a trip. ~~"Aizawa, is Hawks back to normal yet?" "No clue, why?""I need to make a trip to the fish market and a produce market, figured he's good at keeping an eye on things if he's not under the weird void effect anymore that is." "Are you cooking?" If he didn't look so tired constantly you'd say he's excited. "Yes-""Let's go." "Don't you have classes to teach?" "They'll be fine." "How are you still employed..." "They won't let me quit." "Isn't that imprisonment?" "Nezu says it's a technicality, but probably." Shaking your head, you followed him to his car. On the outside this could look like a kidnapping, given his disheveled appearance and sketchy habit of keeping an eye on everything. ~"Okay, you know what vendors to go to right?""Yep, you'll have to come with me since i'm buying enough for roughly thirty plus people with endless appetites. I can't carry that much without drawing attention." "-sigh- Fine, where did you get the money anyway?""Nezu gives me allowances and I never buy anything so it's been accumulating for awhile now." "Are you making Unadon again?""No, eel but not that way. I'm making Hitsumabushi which is why I need the fresh produce too." Needless to say that put a little pep in his step, basically like the tenth espresso of his day. The same freshwater sailor sold his stock to you, highly appreciative of your business no matter how long it takes for you stop by. As for the produce, you needed scallions, lemon, and likely a few other additives for more flavor. "Have you purchased anything from here before?" "Nope, but unlike the fish, if there's a little dirt on the veggies or otherwise then that's a good sign." "Is there a problem with a normal grocery store..." "Yes, the quality is different. Harder to tell how old the ingredients are." It didn't take a lot more time to get everything you needed. On the way back Aizawa more or less speeded back to campus, where are the traffic officers, a cop, someone? Mic can't control him. If he wasn't heading out soon to visit Tartarus you'd steal a spark plug to save civilian lives.~~The others were relieved to know that Sero and Mina weren't cooking tonight after all. You still had time but decided to set a few things out and made sure they wouldn't get used or eaten. The moment you stepped out of the kitchen you were tackle hugged by Mina. "Thank you so much for taking over kitchen duty! I had no idea what to do!" "I won't tackle you but same. Also you're killing her Mina." The dull, albeit nasally voice is correct. "Oops~! I wish you didn't have to deal with a psycho so we could go shopping!" "I don't mind staying on campus, don't worry about it. I don't need anything anyway." "I really need to teach you how to be a little materialistic." "That's not a good thing..." "I agree with Sero, i'm not one for things I don't need." "Don't tell me you're like Shoji." "Not to that extent, but you have to remember I didn't have anything until I was sixteen. Old habits die hard." "I will murder than habit so hard!" "Sero?""On it." "What-?!" He successfully took the pink, bad influence, elsewhere. If Sero needs to lecture someone, then its pretty bad, but Iida will likely do the lecturing this time. Speaking of. "Y/n, I hope you're responsible in the kitchen, or do I need to supervise you like a certain blonde liability." From across the room a shout sounded."Harsh!" "Anyway, I can handle myself in the kitchen. I saved his dish, and him when he caught the pan on fire remember?" "Ah, yes. I forgot, I had to confirm since several of our classmates seem inept in menial tasks." "Cooking can be hard you know, can you cook?" "To an extent." "Can you make dishes for roughly forty people? Or cook with fresh eel? Fillet the skin off, watch the blood, check for bone fragments, all of that~?" "... I see the error in my statement. I apologize, that being said be careful with the off cuts please." "Of course, I double bag the toxic parts is there's any. The rest Aizawa feeds to cats around his house." "Out of curiosity how many cats do you think he's acquired?" "I haven't been to his house since he's started doing that but considering his house is in the woods i'd have to say a lot. Maybe even a bear." "Wouldn't a bear eat the cats?" "Possibly but Aizawa would likely toss it into another forest all together if one did that." Not sure how to process this information, Iida took a bow and left. His thoughts racing faster than his legs. Flopping onto a common room couch, you watched as some of the guys played a racing game, so far Denki appears to be in the lead. Kirishima and Jiro close behind. "Do you wanna play Y/n?""Not really, if I get startled while playing that controller will be a goner." "Fair point. Those claws of yours still freak me out a little, no offense of course." "That's okay Jiro, they're supposed to induce fear~" Though they're not facing you a couple of them paled. While laying face down, you failed to notice an approaching figure, said figure knew exactly what to do, to mess with you. "Uuf-!" Ka-chan was now on your back, not laying on you cutely, but sitting on you, a cocky smirk on his face. "Seriously...?" "You're taking up the whole f*ckin' couch, where else am I supposed to sit~?" "On the other couch? Not on me!" "Doesn't help that you're so damn small, hardly noticed that you were here~" "You've gained muscle mass, mean you're heavy as hell! Off!" "I'm still supporting myself, brat! Don't think I won't stop! Why don't you ask nicely and i'll think about it~" You're not asking him nicely, you're stubborn when it comes to him. "Kirishimaaa! Help!" "After this round." He hasn't taken his eyes off the screen this whole time. "Jirooo?!" "I can't take on Bakugou, sorry." "Denki?" The whine left your tone as you resorted to your last option. "You say something Y/n?" "Hahaha! These losers don't give a sh*t about you as long as they're playing a damn game!" His gremlin laugh did make you smile, which was quickly replaced with a look of discomfort as he did indeed apply his full weight. "Dammit- Ka-chan-!" Your stupid safety mechanism limited your strength around these guys, you'd have to purposely activate it, and likely send him flying. There's nothing you can do right now, except suffer. Bastards even crossing his legs a little. "You good down there~?" "Shut-- Up--!" How long is a race in this game?! You had one last final option but he could still be out of commission. Having had enough, an attempt was made to push up in this form limited strength. It wasn't going well. You made about an inch of progress, before falling back down and being back to square one. "Okay now what did you need- Bakubro get off of her!" "Took you-- Long enough-- Prick--" "I'm so sorry! C'mon, get off, you're crushing her." "Kinda the point, I said if she asked nicely i'd get up, but she's still under me." "Y/n just ask him, if I try to pull him off he's gonna blast me." "No--" "You're literally wheezing! Jiro talk some sense into her!" "She's like Bakugou, stubborn, I doubt I can convince her. What about you Denki?" "Hm? What the hell Bakugou?! Are you okay Y/n?" "You-- Just-- Noticed--!?" It was getting harder to speak. "-Sigh- All you need to do is ask~ I can make this ten times harder on you, brat~" "I'll go get some help, hold on Y/n!" Denki and Jiro ran off, heading down the hall of the guys wing. Bakugou's POV"Why are you like this Katbroski...?" "She's taking up the couch and we've both been bored as hell, I see nothing wrong with this." "Y/n is literally dying under you!" She's fine, I can feel her moving around still. "There are worse ways to go~ I'm sure she agrees~" "Your-- Being-- A-- Pric-" "I'm sorry what was that~?" Leaning over I pressed head into the couch cushion. Now sh*tty hair can worry. "Wah-! Hang on Y/n! Brodoriya!" Great, now the nerds involved... A couple of seconds later Sero, Shoji and Deku were in front of me. "This again..." "What- Ka-chan!" Deku's POVIt sounds like Y/n is cursing through the couch... Looking at Sero I jerked my head as a signal, immediately he shot out some tape to restrain Ka-chan. Then Shoji and Kirishima lifted him away. Y/n pushed herself up, gasping and glaring at her assailant. "As*hole, I have to cook soon ya know!" "That's your concern?! He was about to murder you!" "If I actually passed out he'd feel horrible and probably cry. He relented a few time even if it didn't look like it." "I keep forgetting how weird your relationship is..." Ka-chan's screaming through the cocoon, and Y/n is unphased. "Fair enough. We're 'violently affectionate'~" "Basically borderline abusive towards each other..." "Nah, he can't really hurt me and since I subconsciously limit myself I can't hurt him." Ka-chan managed to slip out of his tape prison for a second."You dumb*ss don't call me abusive! I'm not some villain!" Back to your POV"We're good to each other alright, I have to go start cooking." Getting up and stretching, you headed back towards the kitchen. The ensnared blond complaining about being restrained the whole way, in which you let Sero determine how long he needed to be on time out. Everything you left out was still in place, now to skin and prep a whole lotta eel. ~~Your hands are pruned... Gross. Time to actually cook, a lot of rice and broth, this might take a little longer than expected. ~~"Hey, just thought i'd check on ya, need any help?" Sharky probably has some guilt for not helping you sooner. "I'm fine, this is a bit more tedious than I had thought, then again i'm cooking for a small army." "Can I help plate?" "Do you know how to plate hitsumabushi?" "... No?" "You can help by putting these garnishes and sides into the little trays. Separately." "I'm not that dense..." "Literally speaking you are." "I guess. -Sigh- don't make me regret helpin' you out Sapphire..." "I appreciate your help Sharky~ That being said, you're sort of in the way..." ~~Everything was served properly, as well as the few extra plates for a certain bunch of pros. "Alright, it's ready~! Can one of you message Aizawa?" "On it, Y/n." Deku pulled his phone out, likely messaging him. Not even a minute later a shadowy silhouette appeared in the main doorway. Guess he's excited. "How can you be that fast when you want to be..." Iida shared the same sentiment. Once everyone was seated they gave their thanks all at the same time. If it weren't super loud it'd be endearing. ~~~Bakugou's POV"Hey, hey! If things don't work out between Y/n and you i'd be happy to wife her~" "Shut up Raccoon eyes!" "I have to agree with Pinky~" Feather d*ck got out of his trance hours ago, and still feels the need to piss me the hell off!"Why are you even here bird brain!? Don't you have an agency to go to?!" "Not yet~ The threat level here is still too high~ I'm pretty sure the board has a bet going on at this point." "Oooh~ What type of bet? Spill the tea!" "Either on the risks, or whether or not we'll end up together instead of her and this guy~" "Quit talking like i'm not here!" Grabbing onto his hair, I heated up my hands as a threat. "Okay! Okay! I'll stop! Not the hair!" Back to your POVAt least you don't have to do the dishes... That would take forever. Hawks actually offered to do the dishes to everyone's surprise. He said he'd get to it anyway, Mic will probably do it in the end. It had been a long day, you decided to head to the room a little early. Ka-chan had the same idea. "Oi, did something happen recently? I noticed a couple of bruises on your arms." Crap, you forgot to tell him about the injuries from the beach attack. You had only mentioned a Nomu, nothing else. "Well, about that, you see when I said a Nomu was at the beach I didn't say whether or not I was injured... You assumed I was okay." "....." His silence scares you. "Arms, my arms were broken. It would have been a lot worse but a certain ex-villain saved me before I was pulled into the water." "Thought you had that water proof whatever on constantly?" "I do, but the water is freezing cold. I don't know how long i'd last in those waters, but the shock of submerging would likely lower my temperature more than enough..." "So how did that scrawny bastard save you?" "He used his quirk on the half dead Nomu, the decay traveled through the appendage all the way to its body... Aizawa said he acted faster than he could." This made the blonde tense up. "Hm, the bastard had the gall to show me up!" "-Sigh- Here I thought you'd react differently, i'm out of here." Getting up you almost made it to the door before being dragged back. With his arm around your waist he pulled you down into the bed. This is becoming a habit... "You're not leaving the room until I let you." "This can be considered false imprisonment." "Every other time you leave, you end up hurt.""To be fair I got hurt on campus that one time." "But not in this room." "Don't turn into a yandere now..." "I'm not! I keep getting this gut feeling, and I don't want it to be right..." His calm tone meant that for once he was genuinely scared. "You think he's going to attack soon don't you..." "Yes... None of these idiots are ready... I'm not ready." "You have to trust me, the equipment is almost ready, those who are helping have been training endlessly. I've ran a hundred plans through my head already, and I know what villains I can flip onto our side. If none of my plans work then I don't know what to tell you." "Tell me you'll come back..." "I'll come back, no matter what, i'll come back to you." "Can we be done with this soft sh*t now... I hate being this way." "What, human?" "Shut up... I'm going to be number one hero, like hell i'll let anyone else see me like this!" "Calm down, tough guy~ I'm sure every one of our classmates will tell the press how soft are to me~" "And they wonder why I fight you... That aside how's the whole energy reserve thing going?" "I've got a bit saved up but not a lot, basically twice the amount I normally have but it can't be tapped into yet." "How much more do you need?" "All that I can get, don't get any ideas either, i'm tired." "You can fight for days on end but you cook for awhile and you're tired?" "Don't question it you albino hedgehog! I'm sleeping now." "Tch, whatever nerd." Despite the 'tch'ing' he sounded softer while saying that. He can't be mad at your refusal, you did cook enough for forty people. "Goodnight, Ka-chan." ~~~~~Aizawa's POVEarly this morning an apartment complex nearby burnt down, no one was injured but it's a clear threat. If it were normal fire it would be nothing but silent blue flames are another story. As much as i'm against the idea, we're going to have to move a certain someone onto campus... This is going to be a sh*t-show. I'll wait until Y/n is awake, bring him over, explain then i'm leaving to Tartarus. I don't have the patience for this today, he's already getting on my nerves. "Eraserrr, i'm bored!" "I will throw you. Quit whining like a child." "Is that how you treat someone who's house just burned down?" "No, it's how I treat you." He's carefully hanging onto my sleeve, pouting. "I have nothing to dooo! That's why i'm being annoying! My phone got burned in the fire, along with the rest." Ah, he needs something to focus on. "Here. Draw or something, i'm not giving you my phone. You're stuck with me until Y/n wakes up, give or take another three hours." "She does sleep a lot huh?""You would too if you were training people constantly, or cooking for them." "She can cook?" "Yes, she memorized recipes from a cookbook Nezu had in his apartment. Before everything escalated I assigned her to cook once a week. Needless to say that isn't happening yet." "Filler aside, you still don't trust me do you?" "To put it in percentages you're at around twenty-five percent trust. But we have to rush your training apparently... Meaning you're coming to the UA campus, and will be under your given name, hopefully no one freaks out. You'll be in the same dormitory as Y/n, she's responsible for you, if you screw up or go rogue, it's on her, keep that in mind- Stop looking like you're plotting a scheme already." "I'll only bother her then~""-Sigh- Maybe we can just find you another apartment..." "Then those civilians would be in danger~" "So you're not stupid, good to know." He finally shut up. I don't like the idea of him staying in Mic's house this long but I need to make the correct calls before having him stroll up to UA. At the pace things are going he'll likely be with them by nightfall. I doubt Dabi thought Shigiraki would make it out of the fire, barely anything remained, let alone that we'd let him on campus. Even though this man-child is annoying beyond comprehension, I hope he'll be safe with us. A/N: Sorry this took so long, and that I cut this one slightly shorter, i've been having trouble sleeping and have been sleepy during the day. I haven't had a lot of time or mental clarity to write, i'm still working on this don't worry. I'm trying. This story is slowly getting to its endgame, then I will focus on the Haikyuu fic. Please comment or show your support somehow, I apologize for taking so long.
Bakugou x reader (pt65)"I'M GONNA KILL THE BASTARD!" "I'll be thinking of you while I do it, don't worry." "See anything noteworthy Y/n?" Looking back, there were a few things that concerned you, some less obvious than others. "He has less staples, certain patches of skin have turned back to normal. Either he's getting more power or they have a healer on their side, an advanced one at that. I'm not good at locations but i'm pretty sure he's in some sort of warehouse, looks abandoned, nearly falling apart. Not sure how many of those are around, could be evidence there... To be honest, I don't he has a set plan of attack." "What do you mean?""What?!" "Yeah, once he has enough Nomu or ally's he'll set off, wreaking havoc until he deems it fit to reveal himself. Since every Nomu has a personal touch of his, he'll visit that location often, I know the board has some spies, sabotage could lead to an advantage." "Could be, but that's highly dangerous if he's as observant as you've said." "It's up to the board. His new flames are like controlled tendrils covered in a containing energy. So far I can't really see a back lash, he doesn't burn from it now, i'd assume the more he uses the slower they are but I can't be certain. In any video they're always static pillars, caging him away from the pros but i've never seem them moves until now. The movements are smooth, but to move them that intricately takes concentration, when he decides to use his quirk he'll shoot out straight pillars most of the time. Using the advanced movements on people he wants to toy with or torture..." "Don't push yourself to answer Y/n." "Yeah, I don't need you freakin' out." "I'm okay... I'm thinking of how it'll end, if I can't kill him by the third or forth try he'll understand the reality that i'll never love him and... End things how any situation like this ends..." "What do you mean by that?" "The old cliché, if he's theatrical like you say I can see that. What's the phrase? 'If I can't have you nobody can'?" "Exactly, then whoever is obsessed, does the unthinkable... Killing themselves and the object of their obsession." "Then you'll have to take him down the first time!" Hearing the desperation in Ka-chan's voice, hidden behind rage, made your heart ache. He knows it's not that simple, it wouldn't be simple before his quirk was enhanced. Now he's overpowered and willing to level the place... In your name. "-Sigh- If I don't kill him by the second try I have a plan but i'd need him weakened and disoriented to execute it properly, it's high risk, and I know for a fact you won't like it." Ka-chan knew you were talking to him in that last bit, looking at you confused, at slightly disgusted. "Explain!" "Kiss of death, give him what he wants and rips his heart out through his back. Even dealing with everything he's put me through I don't want to completely destroy his body... It's like an odd curse..." Messing up your own hair you looked down to avoid eye contact with either of them. A tense silence hung in the room. "Can you visit the void yet?" "Hm? I think so, why?" "I want you to pull me and Hawks into it, and show us your history with the enemy. What you want to show of it of course, his training would help a lot." "Any other pros? Or students even? I'm not sure how many I can fit into one cube." "Well, i'd suggest Endeavor but i'm not sure how you'd feel about that..." "As long as I sleep somewhere near you guys it'll work. I'd rather not have that prick near me but if you're all planning to help me out then it needs to happen." "He knows you'll f*ck him up if he tries anything!" "Is that your way of comforting me? Why don't you come with us to wherever we'll be, I can make sure not to pull you in." "....." "Do you want Hawks to watch her instead~?" Damn, Aizawa went right for the kill. "Like i'd let feather d*ck do my job!" "Feather d*ck...?" "Please don't ask..." Soon after Aizawa had left and you sort of wish you went with him, all of this information looked to be too much for Ka-chan. He got up, turned the lights off, and pulled you down into the bed. Both arms around your waist, legs around yours, and he practically buried his face into your hair. Full blown, heavy clinging. It's adorable, but the fact he's buff as f*ck counter acts that slightly. "Don't kill me for saying this alright?" "Depends..." "You're f*cking adorable." "Shut the hell up... I'll bite you." "The threats are cute too~" "Y/n, i'm warning you..." "Okay, okay, i'm not lying though~" Putting his head over on your shoulder he sunk his teeth into your ear, you're in your core for various reasons, this wasn't one of them! "That d-doesn't hurt ya know." "It's not supposed to." His voice is gruff. He wouldn't try to mess around with you so soon would he? As if to answer your thought, you felt his lips get to work on your neck. "K-Ka-chan?! Isn't it too soon?!" "I'm not f*cking you if that's what you're worried about. I am going to tease the sh*t out of you for not listening to me~" A hand trailed up to your breast, cupping it while lightly brushing against the nipple. His other hand that had been slightly pinned under your body, moved up to your neck. Gliding across it, sending chills through your body. "How am I going to sleep like this...?" "I'm not tired, you'll sleep when I do~" It was going to be a long night.~~~~~Togata's POVI hope Y/n can get off campus today, Eri's been super excited to see her. Since Nejire's been busy there hasn't been a female presence in her life for awhile. Tamaki's a little hesitant for that presence to be Y/n but I can't think of a better role model for her! They've both dealt with trauma to a severe degree, that has to count for something they have in common right? Plus if she's technically a secret member of the big three, we have to hang out more! Right now Tamaki is carrying Eri while she takes a nap, so i'm going to get Y/n from the dorms while they wait in the common area. "Mirio?" "Midoriya! Is Y/n in her room?" "Y-yeah but she doesn't wake up until around noon, plus i'm not sure how last not went since we discussed some important plans..." "I wish I was able to help... I hate that I can't be a part of that battle." "She wouldn't let you join willingly, she isn't letting most of us join either. We're on standby in case we're needed..." "What?! I know she's strong but that guy is crazy!" "How much has Mr.Aizawa told you about him?" "Not a lot, him and Y/n have a history right?" "That's an understatement... Remember how we felt saving Eri? How that fight was personal to everyone there?" "Of course..." "That's how this is for Y/n. She won't let us come with her unless she knows we have a fighting chance." "Are you going?" "....." "Seriously?! Aren't you guys super close?" "Yes, that's why i'm not going, neither is Ka-chan, or most of our classmates..." "What's everyone gonna do then? Stand around?!" "Help with evac, and wait." This is crazy... How can she take this guy on her own? "She's strong but I can't understand how she-" "I know Mirio, we have to trust her and that's hard but she's the best chance on taking Dabi down." "What ever happened to the other guy, with the dry skin and decay ability?" "Shigaraki? I'm not certain, he hasn't made any appearances for quite awhile. If he was captured it would've been on the news." "-Sigh- I need to stick around more often, this is a lot to take in..." "I wouldn't mind that, but Y/n will probably think differently... Your personalities clash." "Yep! More of a reason to stay! Maybe my personality will rub off on her!" "Don't even think about it Smiles!" Ah, there's Bakugou! "Y/n's still asleep?" "Depends on what you want." "Well Eri wanted to spend time with her, so me and Tamaki thought we'd take them to a café nearby or a restaurant!" "I'd give her an hour at least, she didn't sleep well last night." I'm not gonna question him, the face he's making right now shivers my timbers! "Guess we can spend time with the others for now, maybe have Eri meet some of the ladies." Amajiki's POVI hope Mirio comes back soon... Since i'm holding Eri i'm getting more attention, at least they're quiet, that doesn't change their gazes... It's like i'm being stared through... I guess Bakugou's awake but where's Y/n? They... Sleep together don't they? I'm not one to talk, me and Mirio share his room all the time... "Ama...?" Ah, Eri's awake. "We're in the dorms... Y/n isn't awake yet." "She sleeps a lot." "Her quirk can be draining." "I thought it was because she's a cat?" Eri is too pure for this world..."That could be part of the reason! If you pet her she'll purr!" How can he sneak so well, even without a quirk he's terrifyingly skilled..."Uwah! When she comes out can I pet her?" "That's up to her, but we need to give Y/n a little more time to rest, she's been going through a lot lately." Eri got up and looked down the hall."Hm?" Should we tell her? The evacuation zone is going to be massive and it includes us... "We'll explain later then, right Mirio?" A hint of concern showed in his eyes, it's a hard truth."... Yeah. Anyway! Let's go bother Bakugou~!" Bakugou's POVLast night it took me a couple hours to fall asleep, not sure if Y/n slept at all past that~ I had to make sure she couldn't finish herself off, then I think I fell asleep with my mouth on her neck. ~F*cking Smiles is here, as well as Tentacles, the kid is fine as long as she doesn't annoy me. Now to see if the kitchen is still intact since Dunce face was in-charge recently. Other than a massive black mark on the ceiling, nothing's charred beyond repair but it smells like burnt plastic in here. What the hell did he try to cook?! A creak let me know that someone else is with me, then I felt my leg being grabbed. "Kid?! What the f-!?" "Hi Bakugou! Surely you weren't about to curse in front of sweet little Eri were you!?" Smiles, as infuriating as he is, he can be intimidating as hell... Always loud as sh*t too. "Could've warned me she was runnin' around, what if I accidentally blasted her!" "Then i'd hurt you!" He's not even yelling, its creepily cheerful. "Bakugou, why does Y/n sleep so much?" Since his tone is the same the kid isn't bothered... "Because he quirk makes her tired, and training makes her tired too." "Does she train a lot?" "She trains the other extras." "Extras?" "He means his classmates, it's a silly little nickname he was for them!" "But Y/n isn't a teacher is she?" "No, but honestly i'm glad she's been taking over." Thank f*ck Mr.Aizawas here. "Zawa!" The little sh- Girl, ran to him and jumped in his arms, like he didn't want to kill two or three people in the last couple of days. At least I can get out of here now, I need to talk to Tentacles. ~"Hey!" "Um... Yes?" "Stop being a coward! I just need to know where Smiles plans to take Y/n." He still flinched. "We don't have a set place in mind... We figured she would need a little break before training got more intense..." "Mr.Aizawa told you to do this?" "Is it that obvious? It's not like we don't want to but the fact he asked is... Weird to say the least." "It probably has to do with the training exercise we have later, think we're goin' against class B." "Why would she need to be off campus for that...?" "Dunno, i'm thinkin' it's an exam or some sh*t." "I guess she'd be shouting instructions or getting annoyed if she watched..." "Do you know if you're getting involved when the battle starts?" "I'm not... I'm fast like her but... Y/n insists that I can't handle that guys words... If I get distracted-" "You'll die." "Exactly... I'm worried about her... Even if she's stronger than All Might in his prime... She's still human..." Is he tearing up?! I don't want to think about this heavy sh*t today, I know how he feels, but it's infuriating!"Well, mostly human." "You know what I mean... If Mirio had his quirk he'd likely be helping... We're not certain when it will come back." "It's coming back?" "Of course it is!" I struck a chord? Wasn't sure this guy could grow a spine. "Tch. Whatever you say Tentacles. Shouldn't you check on the kid? Think the girls are going to kidnap her." "W-what?!" Sure enough the kid was on round face's shoulders, laughing while the crowd disappeared into one of the rooms. Smiles was too busy talking to Deku to notice. "Ah, young Bakugou!" When the hell did All Might get here!? He just slithered in! "You need to stop sneakin' up on people!" "S-Sorry, I didn't mean to, I was looking for young Y/n. I needed her to assess a few things." "Smiles can't help you?" "'Smiles'? Do you mean Mirio? He lacks weapons expertise, Y/n suggested the weapons but I wanted her to make sure they were good enough." "What weapons? For who?" All Might's POVMirio started to head our way once he overheard our conversation. "Ooh! You're going to start using weapons since, ya know, the whole retirement thing!" "Yeah, I asked Y/n her opinion, after we ruled a few options out we came to the same conclusion then I had to order the weapons from Dave." Young Midoriya left to grab his journal. Coming back in a flash. I wonder how many of these things he has? "What type of weapon!?" "Calm the f*ck down Deku!" "-Sigh- Katanas, Dave made them out of a light material and they're easy to hide. Y/n said she can't train me but I hope she can tell me if they're quality enough in case I end up attacked." "Aren't you evacuating with the rest of them on that day?" "I feel obligated to stay behind... To help any way I can, I wouldn't be able to call myself the symbol of peace if I left this country behind now would I? Plus I won't be much of a target compared to Y/n, i'm supposed to carry extra energy shots around, along with a few others." "Wow, this whole thing is really planned out isn't it. What are energy shots by the way?" "Exactly what they sound like, specifically for Y/n, she had me ask Recovery Girl if they work for me but she was adamant that they could kill someone that isn't a shapeshifter..." "The hell is in those things then?!" That's a good question, Shuzenji handed me this sheet but I can't understand a thing on it, its hexagons and random numbers and letters."I think they might be made out of Y/n's appendages, her scales, tail and other forms body parts can be popped off and separated. If Recovery Girl asked for a certain amount i'm sure Y/n wouldn't hesitate to provide them, same with Hatsume, they probably reverse engineered and experimented with these elements to the point they can make anything from medicine to armor. The scales would be great for flame resistance and overall protection, but for the energy shots i'm sure they used something more organic like skin, injected her with her own cells to sort of refresh the energy inside of her and-" "SHUT THE HELL UP DEKU! We got the damn point!" It's honestly an art how Midoriya does that, I wonder how long he can go without stopping... Maybe he has that recorded somewhere too? "Haha! I like your guys' dynamic! So do these injections work right away? Seems kinda sketchy to me, wouldn't instant energy shock her system?" "They take an hour to work entirely, why all the questions young Mirio?" "I just want to make sure she's going to be okay. She finds me annoying but I can't stop myself from caring about her, Tamaki definitely cares about her, and Eri too, not to mention everyone she's interacted with here at UA! So I needed to know the plan, see if there's room for improvement!" "There isn't." "Blghh-!" Where did she even come from?! Back to your POVWhen you woke up and exited the hallway you stumbled upon Togata making a grand speech. Sneaking up on their little inspirational moment, you waited for the perfect moment to jump in. Only to make All Might spew blood."Sorry, tall guy, I didn't mean to scare you that much. What brings you to the dorms?" After thoroughly wiping his face, he turned to you and handed you a pair of what appeared to be small boxes. "These are the weapons Dave sent, press the button and they'll expand into katanas." Taking a few steps back and making sure no one was around, you press both buttons at the same time and blades shot out, the oddly shaped box becoming a handle. "Are these safe? What if they accidentally get pressed?" "They have a safety on them, now do you think they're battle worthy?" Turning the blades slowly, you felt of the weight and balance. Growing a few scales you popped one off and slowly ran the blade across it. There's a scratch. "They'll work more than enough, that being said if you don't want to dismember or kill someone be careful." "They're that sharp!?" Deku is terrified. "Yep! They can scratch my scales, given enough force behind them they'd cut through~" "A-All Might are you sure you can handle those safely?" "Not really, I was looking for a mentor, any ideas?" One person came to mind immediately. "Hawks uses his feather sabers as a last resort. Hopefully some of that can translate into katana's." "You're right, that or maybe Edgeshot would know... I'll get out of your hair then, thank you young Y/n. All of you." With that he shambled out of the dorms, onto the next problem. A hulking frame clung onto you, strong grip purposely crushing your body. "Mirio! Let go of her!" "Smiles!" "Y/n, it's been too long! You finally let your guard down so I could do this!" Your guard is down because he should have more sense! Staying silent you waited until he was done, then promptly changed into your dragon form. "M-Mirio, I think you should run...!" "I agree with Amajiki!" He's heavily weighing his options, hesitation is a killer. Shooting your tail around him you returned his vice grip, making sure it's of the same strength. "Payback. Nothing personal Togata, but please don't touch me. The two cinnamon rolls wouldn't without permission or if its some sort of emergency. I can tell if it's Ka-chan since I can smell his quirk before seeing him. If you do that again you'll end up with quills in your chest cavity." "understood." His voice came out strained and quiet. Unraveling him violently you watched as he spun a little before you changed back to your cat form. Amajiki tried to catch him. Emphasis on 'tried'. "What do you mean by you can smell my quirk?!" "It's a mix of normal sweat and burnt sugar due to the chemicals." "Burnt sugar?" "Kinda like caramel but slightly bitter." "Does everyone have a specific smell?" "Yeah, your smell is flowery and grassy. Amajiki's is kinda like a sea breeze with a hint of mint." "They get all of these nice sounding scents, why is mine 'sweat, and caramel'?!" "Quirk. I'd imagine yours is sharp, like a spice underneath your quirk smell. Maybe has citrus." "Wow! If you're not still mad at me what is my smell!" "It's confusing to be honest... A comforting warmth, fresh laundry?" "What's so confusing about that?" "And metal, like coppery, iron, almost like blood." "Huh?!" "That's terrifying..." "Anyone else?" "She's not a wolf, cut it out already!" Ignoring him you listed off those you could remember."Hawks is a fresh breeze, no surprise. All Might for some reason has little to no scent there's a vague sweetness that's hard to process. Nezu is wine. Kirishima is like wet stones. I have no clue how to describe Shinso other than TV static. Tenko is oddly tame, a similar wet stone smell mixed with something confusing, artificial." "Who's Tenko?" Sh*t. Well, it's Deku and two of the big three. Surely they can know. "Do you guys trust me?" "Yes!" "Of course!" "I do..." "Well, you know how I rehabilitated Reimando?" "The counselor?""Yeah, once upon a time he was a villain but Aizawa saw him fit as an asset since he never committed any major crimes." "Okay?" "Well, Tenko isn't quite trustworthy to that point and his quirk is unruly, as far as crimes they weren't done under his free will... It's a more complicated case and i'm worried at least one of you is going to freak out." "I'll cover his mouth." Ka-chan did just that, not in the way you expected. Rather than go behind Deku and do the usual he simply palmed him face like he does when threatening to blast someone. "Tenko Shimura is Tomura Shigiraki. I've been turning him into a normal human ever since that night we were kidnapped, visiting the void and making him understand that he was used. It's not a trick either, i've met with him in person, he looks healthier, is better at controlling his quirk, and... He's afraid, afraid that he'll be used again, this time as a component to a Nomu... Past aside, he's still a person, like I told Hawks and Aizawa, I very well could've become a villain if I hadn't kept my head straight. If you want to get technical and try to count kills... I have him beat, would I be unworthy of saving? Should I be blamed for the things I did against my will?" Deku's crying, Amajiki is tearing up, and Togata looks conflicted. "You can let go of him now, Ka-chan." "Y-Y/n, i'd never think those things!" Holding his arms out, you nodded before he hugged you, almost forgetting his own strength before correcting himself. While being embraced you looked over at Togata who had a stern expression, his usual smile faltering under the weight of this information. "He's not here is he?" "No, Hawks and the board are still debating. He's shone his control, a couple days ago I had flown while carrying him, then I annoyed him by ruffling his hair and he grabbed my wrist, clearly i'm still here. He's called me his annoying little sister before, doesn't sound too villainous does it?" "Where is he staying?" "Like i'd tell you. Your sense of justice is a little too strong, take a step back, see how the past has treated them, then ask yourself what you'd do in their shoes." "I hope you're right Y/n, Reimando seems like a good man, but some small time villain is different than an S rank leader." "Former leader, now civilian. His quirk can't be used for battle really, but clean up and search & rescue most likely. His speed is no joke either, not sure where it comes from but it's insane, I suppose he could assist in battle but he'd have to be extremely careful. Also Deku you can let go now." "No..." "I'll think about what you said Y/n, right now i'm going to look for Eri, Tamaki left her with the ladies. You're wise for your age!" The last bit of his sentence held his normal cheerful tone. "Oi! Nerd, let go of her!" "Leave him be, its been awhile since he's hugged me, it's kinda nice~" Without another word Ka-chan was trying to wrench you out of Deku's arms, not making any progress. When he did, green sparks started to surround you both. "Well this makes up for the energy I used on Togata..." This back and forth continued for awhile.~~"Well that was fun!" The 'fun' he was referring too was preventing Deku's murder. Eri was now on your shoulders and Amajiki walked close behind in case she fell back. Meanwhile the ever cheerful blond led the way. To where you're not sure. "Bakugou implied that you didn't sleep well, do you need food for energy?" Of course he'd imply that, smug prick!"Sweets help more than other foods but not a lot. Wherever Eri wants to go is fine by me, I don't venture this far into town normally so I have no clue what the places around here are like." This is practically the other side of town, past the snack shop, slowly towards the outskirts but not quite there. "How about that cute little café there?!" The canopy over top was cream colored with pastel pink lace-like trim, the name of the place was in white font making it hard to read. Overall it looked okay, somewhat busy but not packed."It's a little crowded..." "You'll be fine, let's go!" Entering the place the small group of four seated themselves in a corner per poor Amajiki's request. The menus were dainty, written in an elegant cursive. ~You all decided to pitch in for a desert tower, basically a little bit of everything, and it looks neat. Not to mention that Eri will be wowed. In a nearby booth a familiar semi-slouched posture caught your eye. Is he seriously in this frilly a*s cafe. "I see someone I know, mind if I tease them for being here~?" "Ooh! Do I know them?!" "Sort of? I don't want to ruin the mood but we just talking about him." This prompted Amajiki to hide his face as a quiet bout of laughter hit him. "Tamaki! Whose side are you on here?!" "Just- Think about it-" "....." This whole time you wore a smirk, watching Togata slowly crack, all the while Eri was confused but if you're all happy, she's happy. "Pfft-! Fine, go do your thing-" Walking over to the nearby booth you placed a hand on his head, ruffling his hair again. "Do you want, to die?" "Kinda bad to threaten your parole officer~" "That's why I threatened you, now cut it out!" Holding onto your wrist again he aggressively shoved your hand away. "What's a geeky edgelord doing at a frilly place like this~?" "They have good food, is that a problem?!" "It's a harsh contrast, that's all. From shady bars to fancy cafe's~" "So annoying..." "Anyway I have a few friends that know about you, them seeing you here helped them believe you're not as murder-y. It's a good thing all around~" "Do you have an actual reason for coming over here? Or are you just here to tick me off?!" "Both, i'd ask you to join us but i'm not sure how they would take it..." "Are they annoying?" "One annoys me, the others shy, and there's a kid." "-Sigh- Let's get this over with, hopefully one of them will put me out of my misery..." Ignoring his little tantrum you dragged him a whole ten feet to the corner table. "Well, the massive blond is Togata, the one currently scared stiff is Amajiki, and the girl whose staring at us in wonder is Eri. I doubt you'll need an introduction~" "Wow, he does look different!" "Don't act surprised! This pest won't leave me alone!" "Pest...?" "She wouldn't leave me alone, now I have 'morals' and 'free-will' it's annoying!" "I dunno, when I was slammed in the dream void not too long ago you seemed concerned~ Or when I showed you those Nomu that attacked the campus. If that's all for show then I suppose I should call Hawks now~" *thud!* He slammed his head down on the table, muttering various things about you being irritating. Togata's façade broke into a genuine smile once he assessed that the former villain was harmless at the moment. Amajiki barely eased up but the tiniest amount of courage is a step in the right direction. Eri in the mean time showed you what she was drawing, more sea life, your little crudely drawn book you left at Aizawa's must've made an impact. "You're getting better at drawing, I can't really draw well, my fingers are too stiff." A side effect of the claws. "Here you are~" The waitress came back and set the large tower on the table, as expected Eri was amazed. It's nice to see her get excited over something simple like a silver food tower with little tongs. "You said you had something to discuss?" "When the time comes for battle, are you going to stick around? If you don't then you'll have to evacuate with the rest." "... I'm not sure..." "It's okay if you don't want to, you don't have to prove anything to me." He looked into your eyes for a moment. "I'll need more training but I would like to stay... You'll need all the help you can get." "You're aware of the risks?" "Yes, despite you being a nuisance... Last I checked my speed rivals yours doesn't it?" "Yep, don't let that get to your head, you can make short dashes under extreme emotional duress, mines constant if necessary." "Shut up! Like I said I need proper training..." "I've been busy training the others, i'll see if I can convince a pro to help you out. So far only Hawks and Aizawa know about you." "I'm not dealing with Hawks. No way." "Guess you're stuck with Eraser then, probably for the best, his speed is impressive as well." "And if you get out of control, he can put you in your place!" "Mirio... Don't sound so happy about it..." "Elf-boy is right, don't assume i'm a liability." "I told you his name... Don't start giving out nicknames like Ka-chan." "Bakugou gives out mean nicknames." "Yes he does Eri." "What does he call you anyway Y/n?" "Brat, short-stack, or situational insults." "Why are they all insults...?" "I get it." "Ya know you don't have to act all tough and angsty because you were an evil overlord~! Let your reactions come out naturally!" "He's naturally annoyed constantly." "For once I agree." "You two... Are like real siblings, seriously..." ~Upon exiting the cafe you parted ways with Tenko, reassuring him that you'll talk with the pros. "Where to now?" "Where do you want to go Eri?" "The beach! I know it's cold but we can walk on the sand right? Look for seashells?" "Sure thing, kid, let's go!" Togata picked her up, placing her on his shoulders and running off. Leaving you and Amajiki in the dust."Come to think of it, you could train Tenko if need be, you're fast too." "I don't think I could... He's still intimidating." "I think it's the whole 'red eyes' thing, Ka-chans are red but not that deep of a shade." "Probably... I think I should tell you something." "Hm?" He nervously put his fingers together, trying to form the sentence in his head. "Aside from Eri wanting to see you, we're a distraction... Please don't be mad..." "Depends on what you're distracting me from." Maybe that was a poor choice in words, the already pale introvert, paled further. "A training session between 1-A and 1-B, Mr.Aizawa wanted to-" "Do his job?" "Yeah... We're told that you can join the last round as a rogue element... He'll text us when they get to that point..." "That's nothing to worry about, please don't pass out from fear. Wraith appreciates it really but still." "-Sigh- Thank you... I felt bad keeping that from you..." ~At the beach you found Eri crouching down to look at something in the sand. Why isn't Togata watching her better? Does he not know the dangers of the sea? Jogging over you looked to see what she was staring at. "What is this?" "It's a small abalone snail, their shells are pretty but last I check they're endangered. This little guy must've escaped a sea bird or gotten really lost." "Oh, what do we do?" "We need to find a tide pool connected to the ocean and set him in there, he should be able to find his way home." Picking up the flat stone the little snail had latched onto you headed to a rocky shore. The tide pool wasn't too hard to locate, especially one of this size, inside of it there were various starfish and small crabs. A small stream of sorts connected it back to the ocean. "Why couldn't you just chuck him back in the ocean?" "Riskier that way. If you release a small fish in the middle of a pond it'll likely be eaten by a bigger fish right away." Setting the stone down in the wide stream, you turned your attention to the other little creatures. "Whoa! The starfish have too many legs!" "Some have a bunch of legs, it's rare to find one with less legs." "What's that one?" "A morning sun star fish. See the resemblance to the sun?" "Yup! Can you make me another fish book!?" "You can ask Aizawa or whoever is taking care of you to buy you an actual one, any bookstore should have a nature section." "Okay!" "Since Togata is being a little lax, I should remind you never to touch a creature on the beach unless you know for a fact its harmless." "Was the aba-lone dangerous?" "Only if you eat it." "What about crabs?" "A lot of them can pinch you, and they're legs can be weak, it's better not to mess with them." "I'll need gloves then!" Not the point but at least she's excited. "Isn't it a little chilly, I think we should head back, Tamaki is waiting back by the street!" So he got the text. "Alrighty, c'mon Eri. The ocean is more colorful in the spring and summer." ~~~On campus you were practically dragged to ground Gamma by an impatient Monoma. The vague explanation is that there's a team sparring match, and he plans to wipe the floor with you. "Glad you could make it, you're on neither team, pick off whoever you want but know that they can target you back." "Have fun doing your job for once, Oji~?" "This is why I didn't want you here until the final match... Get out there, then i'll send the rest." ~Your spot was up on a pipe, hiding like a lazing jaguar in a tree. Cheetah form ready to dash and take someone down. Your focus personally is Monoma of course, strategically Deku, he's a good leader, without him the others would fall apart, no offense to them of course. Monoma or Shinso could be leading the opposing team, if not both of them. A really odd, and somewhat annoying power couple. Your ears twitched as the sound of rushing footsteps entered the area. The clunk of feet on pipes drew you attention further. Shinso seems like a stealth type. Slinking your way towards the steps instead, shooting off a quill towards Minetta you stuck it in his costume. A way to track them. In the opposite direction a ways off was Monoma's team, it's safe to assume his current quirks are from his teammates. You knew the two ladies to a degree, one had a psychic quirk and the other a resizing one. The guy is a mystery. Keeping to the shadows you followed them from above, smaller faux attacks them a siege, decent plan. They however didn't mention you in this plan, better to take out the mystery man than to realize his quirk too late. From what you were told you only had to restrain someone and deliver them to the other team to score. Since he was slower than the rest you hopped down and hid in an alley, striking at the right moment you tackled him. The others not faltering in their rush towards their destination. Before this mystery man could react you taped his mouth and restrained him as instructed, looking around the corner before picking him up and heading towards the last location of the opposing team. Climbing up on the pipes you remained hidden as the man eventually gave up on escaping. Seeing the 1-A cage you dropped him off nearby. "Sorry, I saw an opportunity and took it. I'll un-tape your mouth so someone will find you." "I understand... Wish they would've looked back though." "Well, it's Monoma we're talking about, he's leading right?" "Since they left me, yes. He's in charge but the others aren't to be underestimated." "Got it, see ya around." Returning to the pipes you decided to wait awhile before picking off someone else. This time from Deku's team, from what you can tell they're close to encountering their opponents. Stalking in that direction you had a hunch and shot out another quill, letting it flow behind you. Surely enough it made contact with someone, causing them to curse aloud. Though the voice is muffled it's undoubtably Shinso. Wiggling the spike around you snickered a little before disintegrating the projectile. Teach him to follow you, time to make him go around. Back tracking you could nearly see a tuft of purple sticking up. Three more shots should be enough. Shinso's POVSh*t! Those sting like a son of a b*tch! I know this is just a warning too... She can hear through these right? "I'll stop tracking you dammit!" Just like that the three spikes stopped, circling around me several times then disappearing. So damn annoying. ~~Back to your POVIf you hang around any longer Aizawa's going to personally come after you. Dropping to the ground you followed the sounds of battle. A certain eccentric blondes taunting could be heard a mile away. Hopefully he'll stop once he sees you. Turning around the corner you witnessed a distressing sight. Deku's suspended in the air, black and green vines shooting out randomly, tearing apart anything in their path... Including you.Aizawa's POV"Shouldn't you stop him?!" "Don't be dramatic All Might." "Don't be rude Vlad!" "All of you shut up." I really need to ask Nezu for a raise. The students are one thing but the other professors are a whole 'nother problem. "Let's see if he can control this new ability." Midoriya is full of surprises, speaking of, where did Y/n run off to? She's not one to neglect a training session, she took down a member of 1-B's team and jabbed at Shinso. By now she should've taken down two more people. "Midnight try to find Y/n, while I keep watch, last I saw her she was on the ground rather than the pipes." "On it!" Midnight's POVShota has a soft spot for the girl whether he admits it or not~ If he was a little bit younger maybe... No. She's better with the violent one. Hm? I hear... Gasps? Picking up my pace I found a trail... Not one i'd wish to have found, the crimson stream led to a nearby alley space. "Y/n?!" "Is- Everyone- Else okay-?" Is she serious?!"Worry about yourself! Can you fix this?! Do I need to get someone?!" "I can fix it- But i'd like Aizawa- To be here- He's seen me in worse shape- Don't alert the others- Please." She's talking between sharp inhales, the pain of a wound that large must be unbearable."Okay! Good thing we have earpieces, is it okay of the other professors know?" "As long as- They keep calm." Well, Vlad won't say anything. "Shota, are you listening?" Aizawa's POVTechnically me, Vlad, and All Might are. "Yeah? You find her?" ....."What do you mean 'don't panic'! Young Y/n needs-" "With all due respect, shut up. She's handled a worse injury, if Midoriya finds out he'll be more emotional, therefore more violent with whatever quirk this is." I had to use my binding cloth on him before he screamed. Was all that courage his quirk too?~Y/n's slumped against a wall, tightly holding on to her stomach. Which was sliced open vertically, from the bottom of her ribs to her naval. If not lower. Nemuri's a wreck. From the looks of it an off-shoot of Midoriya's quirk hit her, there's a gash in the ground too. If it went through cement i'm shocked it didn't completely go through her. "Damn it! What happened?!""Wrong place- Wrong time." Turning my earpiece on again I had to make sure of something."Cut the video feeds!" While they scrambled to do what they're told, I heard the battle calming down. "Okay, what do we do?! She said this has happened before?! The hell goes on around you Shota?!" "Nemuri, calm down. Now, we need to move her flat and find something soft for her head- That's not connected to you! Have you seen her heal before?" "No?""Are you easily nauseated?" "I don't like where this is going." "Leave if you want to, you're good to go Y/n, we'll figure out a way to keep you warm. Start healing." "Let me tell- Ka-chan alright?" "He'll come looking for you, darling. What if he finds us?" "That's okay- But don't mention Deku-" "Got it." Her eyes closed and the gross process began. The wound sealed slowly and damaged pieces of flesh rose to the surface, surprisingly nothing looked like organ matter. "What the f*ck...?" "Hah- You're one of the less visceral reactions. She'll be fine, it doesn't look like organs were damaged this time." "This time?!" "Remember when she was sick and nearly killed Gang Orca?" "Yeah?" "That was due to infection from a large, impalement wound." "Im- Impalement?!" "You're being too loud. A villain with a blade quirk got in her head and that made her let down her guard. A jagged saw went through her." *thud!* "Nemuri? Great..." She fainted. ~~~Back to your POVWaking up from healing wasn't something new to you, what was is that you weren't outside anymore. You're in Shuzenji's office. "W-what-?" "You're awake, we had to move you because it was going to storm. A mix of rain and ice." "Sleet." "Whatever you want to call it. You're becoming a new problem child..." "Who's the other one?" "Midoriya, and Bakugou. Although he's been more controlled with you around." "Where is he? Does he know?" If he figures out Deku had something to do with it he'll kill him, actually, full on end his existence. "He knows you were injured, but not the severity. Problem child one knows you're injured too, they're not stupid, they'll figure it out." "Ka-chan's going to kill him, and Deku's going to spiral into a depression. It's above your paygrade to deal with isn't it?" "-Sigh- I'll prevent a murder but i'm not the most suited to handle emotions." Taking a few deep breaths you sat up slightly, moving your mesh and evaluating the damage. Of course there's a large scar but nothing hurts to high point, and nothing is overly red or bloody. "I'll be sore and weak for awhile, but I think I healed it well. It was just deep enough to cut the organ wall but not to damage anything inside." "Oh, and Midnight fainted." "Is she okay now?" "Yes, but I think she's more attached to you now." "-sigh- I hope this means she'll drop the R-rated act around me." "Don't get your hopes too high." Closing your eyes you let the injured form rest, shifting to the normal cat and listening for any explosions. What caught you off guard is the two pro's waiting outside your room. "Why are All Might and Vlad waiting by the door?" "Are those idiots still there?" He got up and quickly opened the door. "You guys can come in, she's not dead!" "AH-! -blghh-" "Don't scare All Might, that happens every time." "Scaring people is one of the few things that gives me joy, let me have this." "There's an entire student body, and faculty to pick from, surely you can scare someone who doesn't lose a pint of blood every time." "I appreciate your concern young Y/n, but how are you?" "Ache-y, tired, having a crisis on how to explain this to Ka-chan and the others, the usual." "Is your class always this complicated Aizawa?" "Yes, care to switch?" "I'll give you Kendo if you give me Y/n.""You gotta take Bakugou with you if that's the case." "Then you have to take Monoma." "We're not trading cards..." A female voice chimed in. "Oh c'mon Shota! You'd never trade your favorite problem child~!" "Favorite? I don't play favorites..." Not responding to his blatant denial, Midnight took it upon herself to embrace you with reckless abandon. This has to be on purpose. There's no way she's not purposely smothering you. "I thought you'd stopped harassing the students..." Even Vlad knows. "M-Midnight, let young Y/n go! This is embarrassing..." "Ara ara~ Do you like this All Might~?" You wish you could astral project at this point. "Y/n, don't let her kill you, trust me we know how embarrassing she can be." "Rude, Shota." And then there was light. "-haah- Ka-chan usually does it longer don't worry~" "-blghh-" "On that note, we're leaving, good luck with Nemuri, Y/n." "Eh?! Don't leave me with her, i'm sure Shuzenji doesn't want me to move yet!" "That's your problem~" To your surprise Midnight sat on the edge of the bed, you didn't notice earlier but she's in casual clothes rather than her risqué hero costume. A pair of red rimmed glasses took place of her blindfold like mask. "I heard you passed out, are you okay?" "I'm fine, a lot like Mic I didn't know how much some of you guys have gone through, I guess I got overwhelmed." "To be fair that was one nasty scratch." She looks irritated as if she was stopping herself from hitting you. "That wasn't a scratch!" The two of you playfully bickered for a bit before hearing a soft knock on the door. "C-can I come in?" Deku. "Sure." He stepped in and got startled by the added presence. When he got over it he addressed the elephant in the room. "How were you hurt?""It's nothing, don't worry." A smile did nothing to reassure him, if anything it made him suspect you more. "Y/n, please let me see what happened..." Closing your eyes you moved the mesh. Hearing a gasp. "D-Did I-?!" Looking towards Midnight she understood and left you two to talk in private. "You know it wasn't your fault, I came around the corner and ended up being hit. If anything I should've heard it." The water works had started before he entered, how long has he been upset?"But I- I'm s-so sorry!" "-Sigh- C'mere." Scooting over and opening your arms, he immediately took you up on your offer. His tears already started to soak through your mesh, while he bawled his eyes out you found yourself running your fingers through his hair. His hair kinda reminds you of moss. Soothing him this entire time you kept reminding him that to makes mistakes is to be human, and that the best heroes can make mistakes too. This goes on for awhile, until he falls asleep. You're about to doze off with him when the inevitable happens. Ka-chan opens the door, trying to be quiet, then nearly yells right then and there. A heated glare makes him reconsider. In what he considers a whisper, he confronted what seemed to be the obvious. "He caused this didn't he?!""No, an unknown aspect of his quirk manifested and went out of control. He's already guilt ridden, you don't need to add to it." "How bad was it." "The size of the injury was the main problem, not the depth or severity. If I show you now you'll flip out. Trust me, i'm okay. How did you do when it was your turn?" "I know you're changing the subject, but I carried those damn extras the whole match!" He started to prattle on about his match, the continuous, excited chatter became a sort of white noise. Lulling you to sleep, knowing Ka-chan he'll probably lay on top of you as to not be out done by Deku... They need couples therapy, or therapy in general. ~Bakugou's POVAnd she fell asleep... Can't say i'm surprised. I'm not letting the nerd lay with her alone, from what Y/n implied the other day she wants to... 'Involve him' in one of her energy sessions, she's building up reserves and today he wasted what she had, guess it makes sense. I can't say i'm not curious about what he's packin' down there, but i'm certain he's a bottom, a bottom or a very soft dom. He's going to be like IcyHot isn't he? That's going to be annoying. I pushed the pair of nerds to the side, making room for myself and turning Y/n onto her side. Unfortunately she has to face Deku due to the way she's holding him. She really does see him as a big green puppy... I can see it, puppies are annoying as f*ck too most of the time. ~~Aizawa's POVNemuri told me that Midoriya wanted to talk with Y/n so she left, its been awhile since then. Better check on them, knowing him, he could be passed out on the floor. Carefully opening the door I couldn't help but smile slightly, all three of the problem children in one bed, safe, sleeping soundly. We're lucky that stray attack hit Y/n and not a student without healing abilities, they'd likely die minutes after. She said it was 'the wrong place and the wrong time' but in some cosmic way she saved someone else. I really need sleep. Speaking of, i'll have to reschedule the joint dreamscape visit until further notice, I doubt Y/n is up for it tonight. The training she's been putting her classmates through is rough but I doubt it's to the extent it could be. If anything her skills would've been sharper back then from frequent use. Sighing I opted to stay with them, taking a seat on an adjacent bed. If the boys woke up before Y/n they're likely to start fighting. All Might's POV"All Might sir, I can't help but notice we're missing three students and our homeroom teacher, do you know their reason of absence!?" Iida, as intense as ever... "It's not my place to tell you in detail, but during the exercise young Y/n sustained an injury. Considering how close young Midoriya and Bakugou are to her, it's not surprising that they're with her in the infirmary. Given the volatile nature of those two Shota is probably watching over them..." "Calm down Iida, it's not like Mr.Aizawa teaches us anything at the end of the day, he usually sleeps." Shota needs to drop that habit... Iida is a better role model for these students than their own professor. "How badly was Y/n injured?" "Good question, it has to be bad if she's actually in Recovery Girls office, Sapphire doesn't injure easily." "Cringe nickname, bro." "Like you'd know Denki!" "Okay, okay! Settle down, i'll tell you guys but I doubt she'll want you to fuss over her. She has a long laceration on her stomach, I didn't see it when she first got it, but I know the scar is quite large." A majority of the class was silent, but there were a few that shot a knowing look to each other. They know it was Midoriya's ability that struck her. "All Might, it was that rogue quirk wasn't it?" "... Yes, don't point the blame around, Y/n's already dealt with the injury and is okay." "Understood. If I hear any rumors or insults going around I will put a stop to them." ~~Back to your POVBy the time you woke up, albeit half way, the sun was setting and you were stuck facing the peaceful greenette. Behind you what you hoped and assumed is Ka-chan held you tightly, in a possessive manner. Nerd. The bed next to yours was messed up, one of the professors had to have stayed for awhile. Sleep started to overtake you once more, the warmth and safety these two make you feel is intoxicating. Holding onto Deku and nuzzling into his chest you faded into sleep. You'd protect these two with your life, and if your assumptions are right in a month or two, you'd have to back your words up. You're more than ready....

Attention (Tony Stark x reader)Summary: Your efforts to get an exclusive interview with Tony Stark for your magazine finally pay off, but the night you two spend together ends in a more interesting way than you could've hoped for. You were the most famous magazine editor in New York, but you weren't always like that. You started off with almost no money and no help from other people. But you quickly rose to fame by giving the people of New York exactly what they wanted: exclusive insight into the lives of the most famous people. You dived too deep and took your risks. Where other people drowned, you thrived. Fame is never easy but a lot of times you made it look like that. Of course, you never stopped working harder and harder. And ever since you started, you had your eyes on the biggest prize of all, which was none other than Tony Stark. For years he kept refusing to talk to you, always having his assistant tell you to “go away and go bother Captain America”. But you didn't care about Captain America. No, Rogers would make it far too easy for you. Tony's rejection made you try harder and harder, until one day he finally gave in. You two would meet at an expensive restaurant he picked. At first you were excited, but as the time of your meeting approached, you started feeling really nervous. Once again, you had spoken to Pepper Potts to arrange this meeting. Tony had never actually talked to you yet, and you were afraid that maybe he did this just so you would stop bothering him. You weren't used to people making you feel nervous, and you hated it. You wore your best dress, one that you wore only on the most special of occasions. Then you went on to apply your makeup. For a brief moment you thought about using red and gold, but then you figured that he'd be annoyed if you tried too much. You would be annoyed with yourself if you did. With other people, you knew exactly what to do to impress them. Tony was a totally different story. In the end you chose the same pastel colors that you always used, pulled your hair up in a stylish ponytail and left your house. You convinced yourself that you were ready for whatever would happen, even though that was probably not true. When you arrived at the restaurant, he wasn't there. You didn't get in, instead you waited for him at the parking lot. Soon enough, you saw his car approaching. He parked it next to yours and got out, flashing you one of his famous smiles. “Are you [y/n]?” he asked. “Well, yes, I am” you replied with the same smile that had made so many other people before him trust you with their stories. “Why were you waiting for me here? It's pretty cold.” “I thought you might not come.” “How could I not come? You sounded too desperate for my attention” Knowing he was just teasing you, you walked ahead of him and headed inside, hoping that the heat you felt on your cheeks wouldn't make them red enough for him to notice. “Soooo.... What does the most famous editor in New York want from me? Wasn't Capsicle available?” he asked when you sat down. “He was. And that's exactly the problem. You seemed more... intriguing” “That's good to hear. Because tonight I'm really going to give you something to write about” You smiled at that, thinking about all the possibilities. All the effort you put into this finally paid off. For the next two hours, though, your dinner was pretty average. You talked about his life, his career, and of course his experience of being an Avenger, complete with some bragging about how clever and witty he was when he confronted Loki in the Avengers Tower. Not bad but if that's what he had promised, you were a little disappointed. After the two hours had passed, the two of you got out and you headed to your car. “Hey, [y/n]!” Tony called. “Where are you going?” “Home?” you asked with uncertainty. At least that's where you planned on going, but it looks like he had something else in mind. “I thought I promised you something amazing, didn't I? Well, it's true that learning about my life is one of the best things that are going to happen in yours, but... No, that's not what I meant. Come on!” You followed him, eager to know what he had planned for you. He took you for a long walk in the city, and you ended up on the roof of Stark Tower. There was a breathtaking view of the whole city from there. He looked straight into your eyes for a long moment, for the first time that night. Before meeting him, you thought blue eyes were the prettiest. Staring into his brown eyes, you now realized that you couldn't be more wrong. “Do you want to know why I took so long to say yes to meeting you?” he asked. “I thought you just didn't have time to deal with my questions” “No, it's not that.” he said. He hesitated a little before continuing. You had never seen him hesitate before. “It's that I'd like to get to know you better. I've been a fan of your work from the very first article you posted online. And I really wanted to wait for the perfect moment.” “I thought you always take the moment and make it perfect or something?” “Usually. But this is different, because it's not only about me. It's about you, too. So, what do you say? Will you go on a proper date with me?” “Of course, Mr Stark. After all, I couldn't say no. You're too desperate for my attention” You returned his teasing with a smile, and then he walked you back to your car and said goodnight to you. It was true that you weren't prepared for this, but it wasn't bad after all. There are good surprises, too, and Tony Stark was for sure full of them....

Magic, Mashle and Doves S2 - Chapter 10Chapter 10: Wahlberg Baigan and the Greatest Danger~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wahlberg and Innocent Zero face each other high in the air. Innocent Zero used magic to rewind time and revived the body of Adam Jobs, who was previously their mentor.He then had one of his death row henchman, Necross, control Adam and attack. However, even Adam's most powerful dark magic didn't work against Wahlberg.The headmaster is really strong.On the ground, Mash reflected attacks from Innocent Zero's core member, Cell War and Mash choked him in a second flat.Mash is also really strong.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the skies near Easton, Ryoh and Nerey Shawn took two whole episodes to finally arrive at Easton Magic Academy."Mr. Ryoh, it really took a long time, but we're almost at Easton Magic Academy.""That's a great narration, Nerey. But you have to say it before the narrator to be hot stuff. Like me.""Isn't it useless to fix your hairdo while flying?""Oh, now you want to shun me, Shawn? But you know, taking care of your appearance is elementary for a hot guy.""So awesome! Wait, this is no time for that. Let's hurry. Innocent Zero is at Easton..."Nerey suddenly stops moving in midair, which alarms Ryoh. "What's wrong, Nerey?"He gasps. "Nerey is... He's frozen, unable to narrate his own condition." "This means, someone has cast magic that stops time and Nerey has entered the stoppage field. Which means, I can assume those with low magical power have all been stopped.Sorry, Nerey. I'm going ahead without you. I hope Mushroom Head who Innocent Zero is after is alright."Ryoh arrives at the colosseum and spots Kaldo and Orter in the arena."Kaldo! Orter!""Ryoh.""Both of you were alright. But to defeat this many of them, I'd expect nothing less from Divine Visionaries. Such hot stuff.""It wasn't just us. There seem to be many excellent students here at Easton.""Oh, what happened to Mushroom Head? Wasn't he being targeted by Innocent Zero?"Kaldo smiles. "He's fine. More than that, he even defeated one of Innocent Zero's core members."While Mash is replenishing calories, you carefully poke the unconscious Cell War with a stick, followed by Daniel dragging you away from him in case he wakes up."What a guy. Not only did he defeat a core member, but he's elegantly enjoying some sweets.""More importantly, Mr. Wahlberg is fighting against Innocent Zero.", said Orter."What? Where?" But neither Kaldo and Orter know where the headmaster is."So that students don't get roped into the fight against Innocent Zero, he most likely used transfer magic to move elsewhere." Kaldo admits, that he has no idea where he is now.Mash volunteers to go look for him."Go look?""How?"Your brother flexes his bicep. "With my muscles." He grabs you and throws you over his shoulder, before running off, giving you no time to protest. Daniel sighs and follows him, since he's sure Mash doesn't know that you depleted your magic for today."Let's see what he's got.""Hmph. There is no way an anomaly who can't use detection magic can find him. Anyway..."Orter approaches Cell War. "I will interrogate this man and figure out everything Innocent Zero is after. That's the most efficient, logical procedure.""Divine Visionaries are executors of the laws of this realm. Evil that defy laws are sure to be convicted!"He attacks Cell War, but his sand magic hits a barrier instead. A barrier that nullifies all magic.Suddenly, Mash's former opponent is send away to somewhere via transfer magic."That core member was unconscious." Margarette walks up to the Divine Visionaries."It wasn't magic he used on his own, which means..." "Someone on Innocent Zero's side is still lurking around here. Let's investigate."Now they can't move around too carelessly. If they leave this area, the students will get harmed. This is something they need to avoid.Kaldo exclaimed to Lance and Dot, that they don't know what will happen. The boys should stand-by here, just in case."I'm sorry we can't head over to help you, Mr. Wahlberg. However, you are the embodiment of Noblesse Oblige. I'm sure you would do the same thing yourself.""Noblesse Oblige.", thought Ryoh. "The strong are there to help the weak.""If Mr. Wahlberg is the weak, then the one to go rescue him is me, the next number one man of this realm! You better make sure to find him, Mushroom Head. After me, you're the hottest thing right now."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"This is the first time I've seen it in decades. Space Sacrifice. You still show no deterioration, Wahlberg.""It's your turn next, right, Innocent Zero?"Wahlberg thinks to himself: "Master. Leave everything to me now. He's coming.""Timez Cold!" Innocent Zero casts his time-stoppage magic and Wahlberg cuts out the space around himself to dodge it. He quickly appears behind his blind spot."Spaces Bout!" He tries to hit Innocent Zero with his spell, but much to his astonishment, he manipulated time to evade his attack.Innocent Zero casts Timez Rewound to accelerate time around Wahlberg's left body half."Your legs are next, Wahlberg.""He's exploting the openings right when I attack. And using powerful magic as stopping time this frequently... He had grown this much, huh? You monster. If so... I will cut out this whole space! Spaces Bout Stampede!"Wahlberg casts Spaces Bout multiple times, cutting space in all directions."Not just that. To keep him from abusing time lag against me, I will keep cutting this space away! I will carve it all out, time stoppage magic and all!"After casting spell after spell, he gets visibly exhausted. Unfortunately, Innocent Zero is unharmed."It'll take more than that to defeat me, Wahlberg.""When did you... He stopped time right before space was carved out!""Timez Rewound!"Another Timez Rewound is cast on Wahlberg's left arm, but this time... His arm completely rots away!"It's useless, Wahlberg. There is too much of a power gap between us. I was only interested in myself. I had ambitions. I was willing to make sacrifices. But you? Your eyes kept wandering to others to protect. You became unable to prioritize yourself. Humans with no egos are weak, Wahlberg. This is a result of you abasing yourself so that others will like you. What a shame."Wahlberg wonders, if one's life really only for one's self.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback, Wahlberg's P.o.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I was born frail of body. My grades weren't outstanding and I was cowardly. There was no place for me in school and of course I had no friends. With no reason to go, I started to stay home from school. A lack of confidence made me fearful. I didn't want to be rejected by others. So before I could be rejected, I severed opportunities to interact with people. Gradually I felt this world was bland and boring and became very pessimistic. And that was when I met..."Did you know capybaras run at 50 km per hour? Come to school."Master Adam. "Did you know dolphins drown if they sleep? Come to school."He made repeated unauthorized visits to my place, always with strange animal trivia."Did you know pigs can't look up at the sky because of their physiology? Come to school."No matter how many times I rejected him..."Did you know that dogs can tolerate hot food even less than humans? Come to school."No matter how bad the weather or no matter how coldly I treated him... Master tried to involve himself with me."Did you know that giraffes sleep only 20 minutes a day? Come to school."Time and time again. One day, I asked him. "Why do you go this far?""How do I put it? I just can't leave you alone."Hearing those words saved me. That one sentence... His actions, his smile.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Innocent Zero. It's fine to live for your own sake as you do. But I have lived to this day, saved by all of the goodwill around me. So for me to abandon those weaker than me... That will not happen."Wahlberg exudes a huge amount of magical energy and Innocent Zero thought: "You plan on unleashing it here, Wahlberg?""Though it may cost me my life... I will not change my ideals. The ideals that Master has taught me!""Even among triple-liners, very few are allowed access to the epitome of magic.""Spaces Thirds!" He calls forth Uranus. "Uranus Inclination!""Thirds spells unleash the power of the gods residing in the wands. Your power certainly hasn't declined with age.""You surely are aware... The power of Uranus, the god of the sky. Unavoidable space carving magic.""Wahlberg, how dare you. Timez Cold!"Innocent Zero casts his time-freezing spell, but it is immediately erased."What the...""It's useless. Within this space, any magic can be transferred. There's nowhere to run, Innocent Zero.""That's how far you will go to...""That's right. This is the least I can do as headmaster. Uranus World Delete!"Wahlberg sends the orb of his wand, containing his magic power into Uranus Inclination and powers it up to erase everything within its range."With this, I will sever the affinity I have had with you for such a long time, Innocent Zero!"But suddenly, time has stopped around Wahlberg and his Thirds spell."Timez Unmove. I have stopped all time within this space. No manner of attack can affect me, who can control time. Your loss was destined from the moment you chose to fight against me.As an old friend, I will instantly send you to your grave. Timez Arrow Rain."Innocent Zero summons several watch hands and attacks Wahlberg with them. They hit their mark and the headmaster coughs out blood."You won't survive with those wounds." However, Innocent Zero notices that Wahlberg's Thirds didn't disappear."I delivered a fatal blow to the caster, yet the magic...""Thirds unleashes the true power within the wand. If you load it with maximum magical power, even if the caster were to die, the will of the wand will cast the spell on its own.""That's foolish. You can't...""I had been saving up my magical power this whole time for that.""It can't be...""My Thirds will tear you apart... in exchange for my own life."Innocent Zero couldn't believe it. "You planned this from the beginning."Wahlberg hasn't fulfilled his duty yet."I've been watching the whole time. The kind students who desperately protected their friends' futures. A student who is determined to change the rules of this world to save his little sister.And two kind-hearted students, one who seeks to become a Divine Visionary and the other who supports him with all she got. They both want to protect their friends and correct mistakes so they can live with their grandfather, even without magic.This world could be so much better. It could be a world filled with kindness, where we respect each other and accept our weakness.That is why I must save them. Those weak, fragile souls. They who were like me long ago. People who are irrationally being tormented... And for that purpose, I must spearhead the effort and lead the others.Noblesse Oblige. Like my master did for me. To laugh together... I will show it with my own actions."And so, both Wahlberg and Innocent Zero are engulfed in a brilliant sphere of light."To my students!"Everyone you know sees this bright spatial magic. But for some reason, the spell is shrinking down.Rayne, who's been watching with the other Divine Visionaries, has a bad feeling about this.And indeed, Wahlberg's spell hasn't activated. Innocent Zero must have reversed time. It's the only explanation.His former friend smirks and casts another Timez Arrow Rain, which Wahlberg counters with his Spaces Bout. But he misses one watch hand and it hits his right arm, making him drop his wand. He staggers and would've fall to the ground, if Innocent Zero didn't grab him by the hair."Wahlberg. You are strong. But I will become even stronger. I live only for my own sake. You cannot surpass me. I will show you proof right now."He aims a watch hand towards Wahlberg's forehead."How cruel is fate... So our ideals are doomed, never to be realized... Was the world I envisioned so fragile that such a small-minded belief can crush it underfoot?"Wahlberg sheds tears. "Alas...""Farewell, Wahlberg."The headmaster closes his eyes, accepting his fate. However... Before Innocent Zero could pierce his forehead, a shower of light lances launched at him threw him off-guard. He dodges the lances and right after, he gets knee'd in the face by Mash.Daniel grabs Wahlberg and puts his arm around his shoulder to support him. Where are you in this? Well, you are seen behind Mash, your arms are tightly wrapped around his neck. If only you had the energy to use levitation magic...Wahlberg is very surprised to see you three. "Mash and (Y/N) Burnedead! Daniel Zephyr!""Headmaster, you asked me during the entrance exam. If I were to face something that overwhelmingly outpowers me, what would I do?I'd knock the stuffing out of it... with my fist!"
Magic, Mashle and Doves S2 - Chapter 9Chapter 9: Wahlberg Baigan and the Magic of Darkness~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~During the final round of the Divine Visionary Candidate Exam, Innocent Zero suddenly invaded.Headmaster Wahlberg and Innocent Zero took to the skies and confronted each other.On ground, where time has stopped due to magic, Mash was punching Innocent Zero's core member, Cell, with his fist. Mash forgets the face of someone he's fought before, but apparently he doesn't forget magic, even if he's seen it just once.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Adam Jobs. The legendary magic user blessed with overwhelming magical ability who reigned at the top of the Magic Realm for several centuries.He systemized magic theory on his own and created an educational system. Furthermore, he created the Bureau of Magic as an administrative organization. His vast influence was felt by the magical society.However, most of his effort in his later years went into social assistance to those who were unable to use magic.Noblesse Oblige. The strong exist for the weak. He entrusted his ideals to his three pupils, including Wahlberg. And now...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The chains around the coffin break off and the lid opens, revealing Adam Jobs inside.Wahlberg is in utter shock. "Master.""I finally acquired it.", said Innocent Zero. "The magic to restore life from fragments of flesh.""Though, it only restores time elapsed on the body. I can't bring the psyche back with it.""How could you...""From here..." One of Innocent Zero's allies appear. "I, Necross Mance, will be your opponent.""Marionettes are my speciality. I will make sure to satisfy you.""All of you... How far do you intend to push me?""My oh my, are you going to attack? Though a puppet, this is a great man you once hailed as master."Necross fires a beam of dark magic at Wahlberg which he blocks. "Th-This magical power..."Innocent Zero smiles."Despite living such a long life, our master couldn't fight his lifespan and became decrepit. However, I restored Master's body in prime form. His magical power was the greatest in history.I recall Master was so very fond of you. So, isn't this a wonderful reunion?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wahlberg's Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Noblesse Oblige, you say?""That's right. Those of high standing have the responsibility and duty to guide the weak.""To me, that's a phrase that people who neglect effort use to protect themselves.""There is some truth there, Wahlberg. There's no purpose in our giving of ourselves for others."Adam shows his more goofy side. "Now hold on a second, you dummy! Don't refute your own master!"He repeatedly pokes Wahlberg."You really want to assert dominance?""No.""I tease. Just kidding, sorry. Well, the fact that you can come up with opinions like that simply means that you're still quite young! Hahahahaha!"After fooling around a bit, he clears his throat."Well, you'll figure it out someday. Because you're strong."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wahlberg repels the dark magic, surprising Necross."Master was the greatest man I knew. However, the times have changed. What's important is not the past, but the present. If you would descend the present into chaos, I won't show mercy, even against my master.Because my present form is the strongest, Master.""Wahlberg Baigan.", thought Necross."The man who used to rule this realm as a Divine Visionary and the one who continues to stand at the top of the Magic Realm to this day. His skills are assuredly the strongest in the realm.However! That's just in the present Magic Realm. Dark Impact!"He fires a powerful beam of darkness which erases almost an entire mountain behind Wahlberg."Adam Jobs' dark magic returns everything to the void. It covers everything in darkness. You shall be enveloped by darkness. Dark Snake!"This time, he summons a snake-like apparition made out of darkness and launches it at his opponent. Wahlberg manages to dodge this attack, but must admit that this magical power is truly from Adam's prime."The great power Adam Jobs used to control the Magic Realm with... Dark magic. It's magic that sends anything it touches to the void. It even sends an opponent's magic into the void.Which means, once cast, dark magic cannot be repelled by other magic. Wahlberg didn't counter against Dark Snake because he knew his magic wouldn't work. It's dark magic that his master once used. There's no way he's oblivious to its characteristics."Necross laughs gloatingly. "This toy is the best yet! It has the best specs of any that I've dealt with! I will continue to use it preciously as one of my own. Dark Snake Double!"Two snake-like apparitions engulf Wahlberg, but he cuts out the magic. Another Dark Impact is fired at him and he counters by launching the four nails from his wand towards his opponent, where they hit their mark.Necross panics when he realized, that his left arm vanished. "Arm! My arm!""What? Don't worry. My magic controls space. The body part you lost just went to a slightly distant spot. It won't kill you.""I-I see... Just like how you sliced my body, space and all. You carved out the entire space that the dark magic was occupying in order to deal with it. Then, I will hit you with enough dark magic so you can't cut it all out.Dark Impact Absol!"He casts a stronger version of Dark Impact. "It's impossible to overcome dark magic. Even Wahlberg won't have enough time to cut out space with this many!"However, much to his shock, Wahlberg did just that."No way. He carved out such a wide range of this ridiculous magic! I'm using the man who once took the Magic Realm by storm. Even if he's the toughest now, there can't be this large of a gap in skill. Furthermore, I'm using dark magic. It's magic that stands at the pinnacle of all magic!"He launches Dark Tremendos at Wahlberg, a gigantic sphere made of darkness."Dark magic at full throttle! In a clash of two spells, there's no way dark magic would ever lose!"Wahlberg laughs. "It seems you have a misunderstanding."His entire form is flaring with magical energy. "Everything till now has been the abilities of the wand itself. This is what casting a spell is like, young one.""Space Sacrifice!" By using the nails of Uranus, Wahlberg cuts out the dark magic in the shape of a square.Necross tried to counter his magic desperately, but in the end, he's engulfed by Wahlberg's Space Sacrifice completely."Master, I will inherit all of your teachings. So please, rest in peace, once again."Innocent Zero is now facing Wahlberg. "You still not know of decline, Wahlberg.""It's your turn next, right, Innocent Zero?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Inside the colosseum, everyone is still fending off the demons. They keep appearing from the ground, which is problematic."There's so many.", remarked Kaldo. "They're trying to deplete our magical power."Orter told him to stop whining and he retorted, that it's a calm analysis of the situation."I'd like to assist Mushroom Head, but if we leave here, danger befalls the students."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"So magic you've seen once doesn't work on you?""So, uh...""Huh?"Mash asked, why he's being targeted to begin with."Do you know the Forbidden Magic of Body Construction?""Forbidden Magic of Body Construction?""Forbidden Magic of Body Construction. Dark magic used to create an immortal heart from the hearts of six blood relatives. That is why Father prepared six children as vessels to nurture the hearts.In short, you are a creation of Father's. You are merely a part built to create Father's perfect body."Mash is in shock."Rejoice. This is quite honorable. You will become a part of the being closest to God.""Basically, it's like how you need protein to create better muscles? So that's the kind of existence I am.""What the hell is he talking about?""Man. That's heavy. It's quite heavy. My life, that is. For now, I'll take a nap."He lays down on a futon mattress and pulls the bed cover over him. "He fell asleep in seconds. Hey, don't sleep!"Your brother wakes up. "No good. I woke up, but it's still reality, apparently." He turns his head to look at him."By the way, are you one of my brothers?""I am not. I am merely a clone created by giving Father's blood to a corpse. I was born so my life can be used for Father's grand scheme. As a son, becoming a part of Father's body is the greatest honor. Yet, one turned out to be trash like you. I am so infuriated, I can't calm myself down.Your life is worthless anyway. Aren't you glad it has some use? So with my own hands, I'll slash you until..."Mash didn't let him finish talking and punches him again."Heavy life or not, worthless life or not, it doesn't matter. I'm unstoppable, so gimme your best."Cell War can't let him set the pace. Mash was created by Innocent Zero, so he can understand that he has some power. In that case... He will go full throttle from the start.A third line appears under his right eye and he summons Hephaestus, God of Iron. His wand transforms into a thorned staff with four ring-shaped diamond rings."The heck is that?""This is the wand's full power unleashed. Its true form!""Whoa.""Magic can evolve in countless ways. It's based on the user's total magical power."Cell War unleashes an immense amount of magical energy that can be seen from the colosseum. You worriedly tug on Daniel's sleeve."Dani... Can we please go support Onii-chan...?""I don't mind, but are you sure? You depleted your magic energy for today.""Even so... I don't want to let him fight alone."Your dove sighs, but nods. "Alright. The other four can handle the situation here themselves, I'm sure."He picks you up bridal-style and carries you out of the arena.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Father only seeks your heart. I will slice everything else apart. Diamond Cutter!"Cell War launches two diamond blades from his wand at Mash, which he narrowly dodges."These discs are diamond tipped. There's nothing in this world they can't cut. Furthermore, the discs will hunt you down until they cut you to ribbons."Like he said, the blades home in on their target. Mash dodges them every time and decide to run straight towards his opponent."I have to ignore the discs and go directly after him." Again, he narrowly manages to dodge the blades."I see. Two out of four are on standby to keep me away from him. Dangerous! Four of them is absolutely dangerous!""What's wrong? Are you chickening out? But if you flee, I will clear out all the humans in this area as punishment. Black Diamond!"Cell War changes the giant carbon chunk near the colosseum into a giant chunk of diamond shards."A wand unleashing its true power via a summon spell not only has enhanced abilities, but the amount of magical power unleashed goes up several orders of magnitude.These 1000 diamonds will pierce those rubbish bodies at this academy. This tawdry place where you mistakenly believe was a new home for you and all your useless followers will die.Give up already, Mash Burnedead!"He launches the two blades again, but then couldn't believe his eyes, when Mash turns around and run away."He's leaving? What's the meaning of this? Is he leaving the students behind and fleeing? Did he give up, unable to come up with an attack? Did he abandon all his friends who are fighting?"However, that wasn't the case. Mash pops up from behind him."I did a loop around the academy to shake them all off.""No way. He shook off all of the discs chasing him? What kind of speed does he run at? And he's clinging onto me so he can take me down with him when the discs come.""But what a shame." Cell War creates a protective layer of diamond on his body."Did you forget I had this? You can't break through my diamond skin with physical blows! I will slice you apart! Die!"The discs slice into Mash's back and he falls to the ground, fatally wounded."So this is all you can do? You're trash!" Cell War laughs mockingly and stomps on Mash's head."What a pathetic sight! Just you wait, I'll slice your buddies in half so they can follow after..."Suddenly, he notices something odd. "Th-This texture. A cream puff? What in the world..."Mash rises back on his feet and removes the huge cream puff from his head. "Cream Puff Party."The huge cream puff is actually a container to hold a whole bunch of smaller cream puffs."I thought I killed you!" Only a second after Cell War said that, he's got a cream puff stuffed into his mouth. "What is the meaning of this... Why are you alive?"By now, his mouth is crammed full of cream puffs and Mash keeps adding more and more. He's now trying to force the excess cream puffs down his throat."Stop it! The custard is going up my nose! I can't... I-I can't breathe."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Can't... breathe..."It turns out that Mash strangled Cell War by locking his bicep around his neck. His so-called victory over him was all a hallucination."Biceps Magic. Python Choke."Hypoxia.When the brain is deprived of oxygen, it half-enters hallucinations. Right before the disc hit, Mash took the remaining time and the hardness of diamond into account and gave up physical attacks. And immediately used explosive contraction of his biceps to put pressure on the carotid artery to cut off the oxygen supply.As a result, he KO'ed his foe in less than a second. Of course, that includes the Black Diamond.Your brother releases his choke hold and let the now unconscious Cell War collapse to the ground."I care a lot about this school. If you're claiming to destroy it, I'll choke you out as many times as I need to... with my muscles."He perks up when he hears someone clapping. "Oh, (Y/N). Dani. You're here to help me?"Daniel stops clapping and smiles. "That was the plan, but you already finished him off. Good job.""I must say though..." You sweatdrop as you glance down at Cell War. "You're getting stronger with every passing day, Onii-chan. You're absolutely amazing!"Mash shows you a thumbs-up. "Thanks, (Y/N). For you, our friends and this school... I will always do my best."
Magic, Mashle and Doves S2 - Chapter 8Chapter 8: Mash and (Y/N) Burnedead and the Tall Tower~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Innocent Zero appeared and stopped time in the colosseum. Soon after, Wahlberg confronts him."As the headmaster of Easton, I cannot overlook any further disorder. And I certainly will not let you meddle with our students. Even if it kills me."One of Innocent Zero's underlings prepares to attack Wahlberg."Gotta hand it to Wahlberg. He doesn't bat an eye at time-stopping magic. But him showing up was all expected. We will take our credit."The scissors-wielding man inches forward, but Wahlberg quickly discerns his intention. An illusion of a huge halberd swings down onto this man. He's gaping in shock."Wh-What was that just now? Bloodthirst?"Wahlberg laughs. "You're trembling from fear. Back off, you insignificant speck!""Don't bully my dear allies so much, Wahlberg.", said Innocent Zero. "Poor things.""What is your true objective?""Objective. I only wish to become a perfect human. Undying, beautiful and powerful. That's all I want.""How commonplace. You would sacrifice countless lives for that? Stealing magical power, tormenting and even killing...""Where's the problem? Don't ask about the obvious, Wahlberg. My family exists for my sake. Even Mash Burnedead over there. He exists for my sake. He is mine. He is my son. Of course I will take him with me. Back to our home.""Indeed, we are destined to be truly incompatible.Mash Burnedead and his sister will become the beacons of hope for this world."Two additional lines appear beneath Wahlberg's right eye and his magic spikes."If you want to take him no matter the cost, then you will have to go through me.""It's been decades..." Under Innocent Zero's left eye also appear two lines. "...since we crossed wands."Wahlberg summons Uranus, the God of Sky. His wand grows in length and a mysterious orb is surrounded by four nails.Innocent Zero summons Chronos, the God of Time. His wand also grows in length, with the tip transforming into a clock surrounded by blades.Suddenly, demon-like creatures emerge from the ground."It's surprising to hear that Mash Burnedead has a sister. But I have no need of anyone but him. I shall dispose of all of you now."Wahlberg unleashes a wave of magical power and frees you, Mash, Daniel, Margarette, Lance, Dot, Orter and Kaldo from being frozen in time.Dot asked what's going on and the headmaster told him, that he will explain everything later. Those who can move should deal with the demons. He will deal with Innocent Zero.Everyone jumps straight into action and attack the demons. It wasn't that easy, since each and every one of them has enough power to be a double-liner. And they keep appearing from the ground.You are looking around frantically, bewildered what's happening right now."W-What's going on?! Why are these things popping up from the ground?!"You are so confused by this situation that you didn't notice a few demons pouncing at you. Fortunately, Daniel slides in front of you protectively and impales them with his magic lances."(Y/N)... Please stay behind me. All I can say is that Innocent Zero and his cohorts invaded the tournament. We must focus on eliminating the threats around us.""Y-You're right... I'll do my best supporting you all!""That's what I like to hear."Meanwhile, Innocent Zero asked Wahlberg if it's alright to leave it in the hands of a few students."Why don't you worry about yourself?" He transports himself and his opponent high above the sky, far away from the colosseum."Here, we will not be interrupted."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"There's no end in sight.", complained Dot and Lance said, that they'll get support in time.The two look up and see Cell War constructing a carbon tower before their eyes. He also creates a gigantic, spiked chunk of carbon above him. Looks like he's planning to drop that onto the colosseum.Everyone's busy already, especially when more stronger demons appear. For some reason, Mash is left alone."None are going after sweet little Mash. He's being baited. This is a trap.", said Margarette."I expect they possess a surefire way to get sweet little Mash."Dot asked them, how they figured that out."Just a woman's hunch.""So they have a woman's heart. I was wondering about that the whole time.""Onii-chan!" You turn to your brother. "You can leave this place to us for now!""Are you sure, (Y/N)?""I'm sure! You're the only one who can deal with Innocent Zero's heavy hitter in that tower!""'Kay!"Mash runs off, straight to the tower. When he arrives, he approaches the base of the tower and promptly plays Daruma drop with it by kicking away sections of the tower. He eventually comes face to face with Cell War."We meet again, Mash Burnedead. It's useless to topple the tower. That magic won't disappear unless you defeat me...""U-Uhm... Been a while since... you sat next to me in the entrance ceremony?"Cell War widens his eyes. "Wait, have you forgotten about me?"Mash tries to remember, but fails. He bows apologetically. "I'm sorry."His opponent is even more speechless now.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in the arena, everyone continue doing their best eliminating the demons. "There's no end to this!" Dot suddenly hears a baby crying. He turns to see a stroller with an infant inside."Why is a baby...""Baebiez!"He gasps and before he knows it, he's been transformed into an infant."(WHAT THE HELL?!)"The crying baby reverts back to his adult form. "I am one of the Criminal Canes... Sitter Baby. My magic turns the targets into infants. Infants are the materialization of the word "inexperienced". You will die without being able to do anything.""(WHAT WAS THAT? I'LL GET YOU! WITH MY MAGIC! EXPLOMB!)"But no matter how many times Dot casts his signature spell, it keeps fizzling out."(CRAP!)" He quickly crawls away. "Terrible. This is terrible. I can't unleash any real magic. I'm seriously going to die. Damn it! I don't like it, but I have to ask Lance for help. There he is!"He calls out to Lance for help in his baby language. The blue-haired boy turns around and looks down at Dot with an inscrutable expression."Are you joking around? Just look at what's happening around you."He can't understand a word what his red-haired comrade is saying. Despite that, he's still cautious of his surroundings and dodges Sitter Baby's spell."What? Magic? So it was magic that turned him into a baby? Not that it matters, but what a shameless look on his face. It makes me so irritated."He dodges a few demons pouncing at him and flattens them with Graviole."I have to protect Dot in baby form while I deal with these guys. Graviole!"Lance then notices that Dot isn't in his grasp anymore. He sees Dot happily picking up a rattle."What are you doing?""(WAIT! I'M ON MY WAY TO FULLY RETURNING TO A BABY?!)""Damn it!"Before Lance could reach Dot, he's unfortunately caught in Baebiez as well."(CRAP!)""(SHUT UP.)""(I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU!)"Lance can tell that Dot's pissed off at him. One demon attacks them and they leap out of the way. They crawl towards a rattle and continue dodging attacks."(DAMN IT. MY BODY IS UNKNOWINGLY REACTING TO THE TOY.)""(HMPH. I STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO IF I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF...)"Sitter Baby chuckles."The moment you turned into those forms, your defeat was assured. You can't use even a tenth of your usual magical power. How fun it is to have a one-sided bullying of powerless creatures. I have no worries of getting injured myself. Truly one-sided."He commands the demons to attack. Before they could reach the two boys though, you quickly snatch them both and jump out of harm's way.You set them down and Dot promptly clings to your leg, while Lance simply sits beside you.You glare at Sitter Baby. "You know... I hate nothing more than bullies who pick on the weak. Someone needs to put you in your place.""What can a little girl like you even do to stop me? I'll just let you join the baby ranks too!", mocks Sitter Baby.You scoff and point your wand at the ground."Gravitation Field."All of the sudden, Sitter Baby and the current group of demons in the arena are pulled down by a great gravitational force. It was quite the sight seeing every demon faceplant the ground all at once. He's bewildered."What is going on? Why is this girl so... powerful? Impossible."You lower your wand. "Indeed, that was one-sided."Both Lance and Dot are in awe of you. They didn't know you can use gravity magic, but actually, you can use a wide arrange of magic spells. Some Daniel hasn't even taught you. Could it be one of the blessings of your Master Cane? Possible.Kaldo directs a smile at you. "Occasionally, you see someone in this world that overcomes the age gap. I wouldn't expect less from Easton."Lance and Dot are back to normal."We still have enemies. Don't let your guard down.""I know that. (Y/N), let's beat those creeps up together!"You are frozen stiff, much to Dot's confusion. "W-What's wrong?""I-I can't move... Dani!" Your dove wastes no time to stand close by your side. He gives you an empathic look."(Y/N)'s magic is very strong, but requires a lot of magical energy. Not to mention that she's still recovering from her battle with Carpaccio. Gravitation Field is similar to Lance's Graviole, but covers a bigger area and affects every target within that radius. However, it renders her unable to move for a while..."Dot feels for you. "Whoa, that sucks... But she's amazing nonetheless!"Lance nods, agreeing with him for once.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ryoh and Nerey are on their way to Easton Academy."Mr. Ryoh. What kind of relationship do Mr. Wahlberg and Innocent Zero have?""This Magic Realm was shaped by one great magic user. He became the foundation of Divine Visionaries. Literally an individual with power matching that of God."This man's name was Adam. In life, there was none who could stand up to his dark magic. Wahlberg and Innocent Zero were his best students."So their powers are basically equal?""Right. But they made an effort to invade us. I'm sure they have some chance of success."Ryoh thought to himself: "If Mr. Wahlberg were to lose for any reason..."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"This is our first meeting in a while. I feel happy about this."Innocent Zero pulls back his hood and reveals being a faceless humanoid. Wahlberg is shocked."My word.""That's pretty horrible. You look upon your old friend like I'm some kind of monster. Or is it rather that..."His face morphes to his past self's appearance. "You'll call me your friend if I look like this?""Damn you, have you abandoned your humanity?""I am more human than anyone. I am too human and so my desires are too deep. There's no limit to my greed. I have two desires for today.One is to take home my son, Mash Burnedead. The other is you, Wahlberg. I want to make sure that you're dead.Timez. The Living Dead."Innocent Zero summons forth a coffin, sealed in chains. Wahlberg widens his eyes."This is... a forbidden spell."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile, Cell War continues questioning Mash."Are you serious? You forgot who I am?"Mash doesn't seem to be listening. In his point of view, he's imagining Cell War's head as a cream puff. Angered, he shoots a carbon shard at him, which he dodges."Looks like you finally remembered. By the way, I heard. Your friend (Abyss) was skewered but is still alive. They really are persistent like cockroaches. After I'm done with you, I'll go kill them with my own hands."Cell War notes Mash's gaze. "Your eyes are defiant. Do you want to be skewered like all your buddies? Carborain!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You worriedly look towards the arena exit."I sure hope Onii-chan is doing okay. The overwhelming density of that carbon lance. Last time, he dealt with it by going inside one of Abel's dolls. But this time..."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This time, Mash is running on top of Cell War's magic. Growing irritated, he keeps casting Carbo Rain and Carbo Heavy Rain, but your brother closes in and punches him in the face."Wh-Why? Last time, all he could manage was to avoid my attacks. Yet, why...""I remember now. You're the black thorny guy."Mash nonchalantly pats off dust from his robe."But I've seen it once before. So, the same thing twice? Please."Cell War can’t believe that Mash is even stronger than the last time. He's at a loss for words.
Magic, Mashle and Doves S2 - Chapter 7Chapter 7: Mash Burnedead and the Musical Maestro~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Innocent Zero and a few of his subordinates are riding on dragons through the dark sky riddled with lightning."Sorry to keep you waiting, my dear Mash Burnedead. How splendid. It's like we're going on a field trip.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mash is currently engaged in a battle with Margarette. He slammed them down from an incredible height and thought it's finally over. Unfortunately, Margarette is unhurt.Kaldo knows why they received no damage. "Just before slamming into the ground, Macaron created a sound cushion."The audience never heard of Spine Magic before. So Mash could use magic after all?"Also, is no one going to call out Mushroom Head on naming a throw like a magic spell?"Margarette demands more. "Let me enjoy this a lot more!"They fire a Nalcos at Mash and he dodges. Since he's now on the move, they cast Nalcos Conte instead, a more consecutive version of Nalcos.And Mash keeps evading each attack, even by running sideways on the arena walls. He wants to launch an attack from behind them, but they sense his presence and quickly turns around, pointing their wand at him. But suddenly, they both stopped moving for a minute. Margarette lowers their wand."It's obvious you're attempting to guard something."Mash rummages through his robe and reveals a cream puff. You sweatdrop. You knew that's the thing he was guarding."If you have something to guard, we cannot fight our utmost. Go set it aside.""No way. Can this be?" Your brother places down his cream puff on a tray a girl is holding for safekeeping."Is this what you call chivalry?""No, this is for my own enjoyment."Finn wonders, what that useless exchange was and Dot wants his wasted seconds back."Neither of them have gone all out yet.", thought Lance. "They're still testing each other."Seems like Kaldo is thinking the same."Macaron's Secondth would put them a step ahead. But if both sides go all out, the match will end in an instant."Margarette told Mash: "Now, I'll have you let me enjoy all this, Mash Burnedead.""Do show me what you're capable of. Sounds Fa!"They create a giant fist made out of music notation and attacks Mash with it. He tries to counter it, but their attack phased through him. What got damaged was his ear drums."Don't treat it like it's some parlor trick. My spells are not something that you can punch to topple.""What now?""In other words, you are most poorly matched against me. Sounds Fa!"Mash keeps getting hit by their spell, but he stands his ground. Though he still receives damage, which is not good."I can't block it. It feels like it comes from within.""This is quite a letdown. How unfortunate. It seems you weren't my tartare after all. Sounds Surround Orchestra!"Margarette summons several giant wind instruments around Mash. "This is the finale."These wind instruments generate powerful soundwaves. The waves are strong enough to crumble the ground beneath their target. The audience are in silent reverence."He didn't stand a chance after all.""That was overwhelming.""Macaron indeed is a true genius."Kaldo thought to himself, that Margarette didn't even need to go all out to finish this match.However, Mash disappeared from where he was standing, much to Margarette's confusion. They didn't expect a hand to appear from the ground beneath them and grab their ankle. They are pulled down with only their head sticking out from the ground. Tom Knowles would very much compare this sight with a bamboo shoot."What the? They're suddenly buried!""What the hell is going on?"Mash emerges from underground."You can't possibly have done that so sound doesn't reverberate."Actually, Finn watched it happen. That boy sure has keen observation skills."Right before being hit with the spell, Mash dug into the ground and jumped down. Sound waves oscillate. But that oscillation decreases as it meets with obstacles. So he dampened the sound by diving underground?No, sound travels super fast. Freaky."You sigh in relief and watch your brother approach his buried opponent."Quadriceps Magic... Guillotine Kick!"He harshly kicks them across the arena."He took out Macaron in one blow! Mash Burnedead is such a champ!""Mushroom Head is still claiming that is really magic?", thought Kaldo.Mash leaps on top of Margarette and delivers a barrage of punches. It's a beatdown."What a fierce rush falling down onto Macaron. I-It's not stopping!"One student wonders if he has to go that far. Rather... Mash understands. It takes more to defeat Margarette."This is what I have been seeking."Mash widens his eyes and jumps back."I will take you on in my serious form. Sounds Metamorphosis!"Margarette unleashes their magic power and changed into a more petite and feminine appearance. Their true form."You have hair.", remarked your brother."To make me look like this... You really are..." They make a X with their pinkies. "...guilty."Mash is in shock. "They're making the pinky X."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At the Bureau of Magic and inside Ryoh's office, the blond man is checking himself out in his pocket mirror."I wonder how Mushroom Head and his sister are doing on the selection exam. As usual, I'm hot stuff today."Nerey rushes into Ryoh's office. "Mr. Ryoh, there's big trouble! There's a report that Innocent Zero is on the move again!""Innocent Zero is? They're after Mushroom Head.""What should we do?""Get security on it immediately. For now, we'll need Orter and Kaldo over at Easton to buy us some time. So, who's on the move? One of the leaders?""Actually... it's Innocent Zero himself.""Well, that's really bad."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Uhm... You've turned into a child.""I haven't simply turned into a child. This is my form when I unleash my innate magical power. I will let you take a good look at my magic now."They snap their finger and all of the sudden, they're standing next to Mash. They blow into his ear and he slumps to the ground.Lemon shrieks in utter shock. She wanted to be the first to do that to him. "Unleashing magical power also unleashes more spells I can use. Which means, in my current form-""That's enough."Mash tries to punch them, but in the blink of the eye, they're gone. He looks around, until he hears Margarette's voice way up above the sitting areas."I told you. As my current self..." They snap their finger again and land a kick at Mash's face."I am sound itself.""A muscle-type human like me?""Of course not!"Margarette demonstrates their ability by moving around him in a super fast manner."Magic that allows them to travel via sound. They're literally moving at the speed of sound.", thought Kaldo."Trying to catch them without magic means you have to move faster than sound."Your brother has difficulties punching his opponent and gets hit instead. After enduring a kick from Margarette, he slowly stands back up on his feet and places his hand on the arena wall.Margarette must admit that he's a tough one. They rush towards him, intending to end this battle."Now I have you." They kick the wall, strong enough to form a big crack on it. But much to their confusion, the wall's the only thing that was damaged."He's gone?" They couldn't believe it, when Mash quickly appears next to them. "How did you..."Kaldo knows how he dodged."He used the properties of sound transfer. Sound travels faster through liquids than gases and even faster through solids. By touching the wall, Mushroom Head felt the sound slightly faster than the attack landing. But, it was his otherworldly reflexes that pulled it off."Mash prepares to attack, but Margarette lifts their hand and said: "It's useless. I have this on my side."However, they realize that their hand is covered in tartare sauce. "When did he... I can't make any sound like this."Thanks to that little impairment, Mash was able to land a lariat on Margarette.Dot asked, if Mash got them and Lance answered, that it's a temporary solution at best. It's still anyone's game. But he actually has no idea how things will turn out from here."No, but Macaron has their Secondth. It's only appropriate to see them at a disadvantage."Margarette told Mash that they accept him. "I'm saying you are a worthy opponent."They pull out their wand. "Sounds Secondth... Death Gong."They summons a giant bell and explains that it will incapacitate anyone who hears it. Call it a death knell."In one minute, it will ring out, covering an area two km wide. The only way to stop it is to take my wand away from me. Which means, you have to catch me fleeing at the speed of sound within one minute or you lose."You look worried. This bell is an intimidating sight. Daniel places a hand on your shoulder."It's okay, (Y/N). I'm sure Mash can handle this. And Margarette's Secondth is limited to within the arena, so we're not affected."Still, he would be lying if he wasn't a little worried."That said, if it's a fleeing opponent, he can't use the same tactics as earlier. You're in an absolute crisis, Mash.""Now, here goes." Margarette starts evading Mash and the latter tries his very best to reach them. But even for Mash's speed, this is quite the task."Useless. So useless. You only have 30 seconds left."Time keeps ticking. They count down, while dodging his attempts to grab them."Twenty... Fifteen... You have less than ten seconds left. This match..."Margarette widens their eyes, when Mash jams his hands into the ground and rips it up, letting the large piece of landmass fall onto them. He then breaks through the wall he created to corner Margarette and rushes towards them."I have two choices to run right or left." They watch their opponent dash to the right. "Right!"With a smirk, they escape to the left."You gambled, sensing that you can't deal with me with just reflex."Margarette is a little thrown off, when Mash suddenly begins to move left as well."A feint? But still weak. I gained enough distance for him to barely not reach. It's impossible to get a hold of me."A sudden harsh pull makes them gasp. Turns out your brother stretched out as far as he possibly can to grab ahold of their robe using just his pinky."With just the power of his pinky? No way!"They get pulled back and slammed into the ground. Mash snatches away their wand and snaps it into half.The bell disappears and the audience erupt into cheers."That Mushroom Head won the sonic chase!""Now he's one step away from Divine Visionary."Margarette lies on the ground and chuckles quietly. "Without using magic... Quite the fellow we've got. I'm smitten. I accept defeat."You happily hug Daniel. "Onii-chan won! He's truly amazing! Don't you think?"Your dove smiles. "Indeed. He never ceases to amaze me."Finn and Dot are crying happy tears."I'm glad... I'm so glad, Mash.""Don't you be crying!""Dot, you're crying too!""You overcame your biggest obstacle.", thought Lance with a small smile.Lemon shouts out a congratulation and even Abel and Abyss look happy for him. Though Love still has a look of disbelief on her face.Wahlberg laughs. "To think he'd win against Macaron without using magic."Kaldo is impressed. "Interesting. You really are an interesting one."Right after Mash turns around, there's a sudden tremor. A crack forms in the sky, before it shatters. A dragon claw emerges from it.Innocent Zero has arrived. "Greetings, everyone."He points his finger towards the sky and stops time. Then he approaches Mash."I've been looking for you, Mash Burnedead." He caresses his face."Oh, how beautiful. I didn't think I'd find you alive. I felt despair thinking I would never obtain you. My dear, sweet... son.By incorporating you into me, I will become complete. Now, shall we?""You shall not." Wahlberg, who seems to have evaded being frozen in time, teleports down to the arena."I cannot simply hand that child over to you... Innocent Zero."Right when he won against the powerful Margarette Macaron, Innocent Zero invaded. Innocent Zero, who called Mash his son. What is he up to?

Attack on Titan
The Keeper. (Levi x Reader Mystery!AU) Chapter 5You sat and watched as the last rays of sun began to eclipse the mountain range, waving a final goodbye before the moon rose to take its place. You hadn’t moved from your spot on the couch since your conversation with Levi some hours ago; your legs would surely not thank you later, a mild stiffness already set into your bones. You hadn’t seen him since your talk, he insisted that he had to leave as quickly as possible; only telling you that he had to meet with a ‘contact’. Though he was in a mild rush, he took the time to answer your questions, at least some of them. To your frustration he said there were still things he could not yet tell you. To your relief Levi finally confirmed that he was indeed hired to protect you, not to harm you. While you had already assumed such, it was like hearing him say the words himself allowed you to let out a breath that you had been holding since you woke in that old cabin. In short, it was your father who had hired Levi to ‘kidnap’ you; your father was apparently in hot water with some ‘loan sharks’, a so called cover for mafia, and you were the price they named to pay off his debts. You found yourself only slightly surprised at this revelation, while publicly he was a successful business entrepreneur, there had been whispers for years about his involvement in the underground. The mild surprise had been quickly replaced with a cocktail of mixed emotions. Anger, fear and grief blended together and swelled inside, an indescribable emotion that overwhelmed you. Hot tears spilled from your eyes, the only escape for the feeling inside you. This seemed to have caught Levi off guard, his words slowing to a stop at the realization of your tears. He had sat for a moment, his body slightly stiff with awkwardness, it was clear he was not used to sobbing women. He did, however, reach for the box of tissues and offered them to you. Your eyes had met as you took the box from him, while the mild discomfort was still present in his, they had softened noticeably from their usual hardness. You couldn’t help but have to stifle a laugh. This man in front of you, who you once feared almost more than death, sat looking like an awkward teenager on his first date all because of your tears. It was all quite comical to you. He asked you what was so funny, his expression turned to one of confusion and slight concern. Perhaps he had thought you were losing your mind. A few more giggles slipped past your lips before you were able to compose yourself. You wiped the last stray tears from your eyes and took a deep breath. You asked him what was going to happen next, though you didn’t voice it to Levi, you feared that this would be the rest of your life, constantly running and hiding. Levi simply replied that he didn’t know yet either, that’s what he was going to see his contact about. That was how your conversation had concluded, Levi left almost immediately after and had yet to return. A mild uneasiness weighed in your chest, though you wouldn’t admit it you felt more secure with him around. As darkness overtook the forest outside you felt yourself growing tired, mentally exhausted from your earlier conversation. You thought about making your way upstairs and heading to bed, but you found yourself not wanting to leave from the couch. ‘He’ll be back any minute, I might as well wait for a bit longer.’ You told yourself. However, those minutes soon turned to more hours of waiting, your eyelids sat like weights above your eyes. You strained to keep them open, but it was a battle you were quickly losing. You peeked at the old grandfather clock one last time. The time read 12:24. You rested your head against the couch and, inevitably, your eyes shut, and you drifted quickly to sleep. You weren’t sure how much time had passed, but you were lightly roused when you felt yourself being gently lifted from the couch. You didn’t open your eyes, still half asleep you felt like you were in a dream. You didn’t feel any panic as you were moved across the living room and up the stairs. He was careful in his footing, not moving too quickly or harshly as to wake you. You felt content as your head rested on his warm chest. The smell of night air still clinging to his shirt soothed you. Eventually you were placed onto a bed; the cold sheets caused you to scowl slightly, an unwelcome sensation when compared to the warmth of his arms. You thought you heard a soft laugh in the silence. The room was still, and you thought that he had left quietly when you suddenly felt fingertips across your forehead gently brush away a few stray hairs. You let out a sigh of content before you felt sleep come over you once more....
Haikyuu
Haikyuu x reader (pt3)You told Cockatiel where you needed to go, he lead the way and didn't say much but his attitude is still cheerful. "What did you and Konoha talk about by the way? He wasn't mean was he?" "I asked him is something was bothering him, turns out he received some bad news and that's why he was irate. He should be fine now, but I wouldn't push the subject." He nodded, his hair floof in front not budging. With his hands on the back of his neck walking in a relaxed pose, he kept thinking, about what you're not sure. ~"Here we are, doesn't look like a lot of people are here..." He's right, the class is nearly empty save for a few, displeased looking students. The professor himself doesn't look too chipper either. "Okay then, thank you Cockatiel." "Y-yep! No problem!" He ran off in a hurry, dork. ~~Another class that was introductory information, topics you already knew about and as far as you knew, you were the only one interested. That being said you still went up to the exhausted looking professor to ask a question. "Excuse me, I need to double check something." "Hm? Yeah what is it?" So monotone. "I've been hanging around the volleyball gym lately and hope to be their medic, do I need a paper or slip for that?" "What makes you think you're qualified?" "What makes you think i'm not?" "There's a test you need to take, i'll dig it up eventually. Anything else?" "Yeah, sorry. Numai's thumb keeps dislocating, I told him he needs to rest it properly for it to fully heal, is that correct?" "Inflamed?""Yes." "Not following directions?""Very likely." "You're right it never fully healed. Try to keep on him about that, what's your name anyway?" He... He didn't even know your name?! "Y/n. I think i'm the only one that actually wanted to be in this class... No offense of course." "It appears so, just call me Po, I don't care for the title of professor." "Okay, see you whenever I have class next." The second you shut the door you realized there was a problem... You didn't memorize the way back, and no one was around... Dang it. Should you text the group chat? If you did there's a risk that everyone would show up... It's nice to have friends again but it's overwhelming to say the least. "Y/n?" Rounding the corner were two familiar faces. "Sawamura, Sugawara, good thing you came by. I was about to get lost again." "You can call me Daichi it's alright, I don't think anyone calls me by my last name anymore." "And you can call me Suga like everyone else too!" "Okay! Has Asahi left already? I think he planned to come over to my place today." "Ghk-!" Tilting your head in confusion you weren't sure why Suga made such a sound. "Calm down Suga, why is he stopping over Y/n?" "I wanted to help him with his fear of the paranormal, and if I lent him the book to take home he'd be too afraid, if he read it with the other guys they'd make it worse. I figured him coming by himself would be fine then." "Mind if we come along?" "As long as you promise not to make fun of him or scare him intentionally, also I have a cat if you have an allergy. Do you guys live near campus?" A word vomit of questions spilled out, a deep nervousness started to brew."Yeah." "Close enough." "I didn't ask Asahi if he did, does he?""It's not too far, let get going before he gets too down." Suga's POV I'm messaging him, why wouldn't he tell us about this!? Daichi is keeping his cool but I can tell he's internally getting ready to yell. 'Hey Asahi, do you have any plans rn?' 'Maybe, do you know where Y/n is?' 'Why?''I'm worried she's lost again.' 'That's it?' 'You're with her now aren't you...?''Yes you traitor!' 'It would've been rude to decline!' 'Mhm' 'Is it just you or?''Daichi.''I see...''We're coming along with you to her house.''Is she okay with that?''I guess so, we're the more responsible ones right?''Apparently, i'm across the street from the main building. Try not to tell the other guys, they'll kill me, and probably you two.' 'Right.' Tucking my phone away I looked behind us to make sure she was still following, the moment she noticed me looking back she gave a joyful smile. "I wasn't here earlier but I heard from Kita you met Bokuto today?" Is Daichi serious?!"Wait you did?!" "-Sigh- Yes, you guys don't have to make a big deal of it, i'm fine." "Sorry but you can understand our worry right?" "Yeah, at the very least if no one intervened I would've passed out but I think at that point he would've let go and panicked." "Probably, but he's an actual grizzly bear!" I can't believe she's this calm!"Have you ever been in his hug of death?""No.""Nope." "He's more like an anaconda..." Back to your POVThey stopped in their tracks."Okay, we're checking you." "Wait what?! I'm fine, plus you wouldn't know what to look for anyway!" Their intentions are good but you didn't feel like being patted down. The exit is straight ahead across a long hallway. Time to run. Daichi's POV Y/n suddenly ducked and dashed forward, racing down the hall at surprising speeds."Is she faster than Hinata?" "It's very possible, wonder if she was part of the track team like Kiyoko?" Back to your POVHehe~ It's been awhile since you've ran this fast, it feels good to finally put your shoes to good use. Of course you looked both ways when reaching the street, then continued to dash across the street to Asahi. "Why are you running?!" "Daichi and Suga wanted to check me for injuries but I told them I was fine, and ran away from them." "Y/n! Let us check if you're hurt!" "Oh, Suga is in protective Mom mode.""That's a thing?" "Yep." Daichi had a calm but quick pace while Suga was coming at your full force. "Calm down! Let's compromise!" Holding the back of his shirt the other two guys were keeping him at bay. "Let's hear it." The negotiator, Daichi. If Suga's the mom it's not too far of a stretch to say he's the dad. "When Sakusa comes back he can check, since he knows what to look for. You two can supervise or whatever." "Fine, you okay with this arrangement?""Somewhat..." Suga muttered this response."Let's get going, it's not that far but I don't want to start studying the topic at night." You lead the way, you're pretty sure the guys are jabbing each other behind you. Cute. Your stride is roughly half of theirs, meaning you had to power walk compared to their casual pace. In your muscle memory of a habit you checked your mail, there's the normal advertisements then a note. Unlocking the door you let the guys in before setting the mail on the table. "Help yourselves to whatever, and Tabitha is an indoor cat solely now so don't let her out." "Wow, you live here alone?" "Yes. It's roomy but it's not that big, two spare rooms, and I use one for plants not that someone couldn't stay there if need be." "You should see Kenma's place, it's huge!" "Kozume, the guy playing games right?" "Yeah, once again he's a guy you can call by his first name, i'm sure he wouldn't mind." "Anyway you should be able to find cups in the cabinets for whatever you'd like to drink and help yourselves to the food. I'm going to change real quick then get the right books." Heading up the small staircase you went in your room, changing into what you wear at night, that being a long nightgown, since you have a bunch of dudes over you threw on a pair of shorts too. The spare room held several bookcases, grabbing the paranormal studies, and a few on botany and fish you took the semi-heavy stack back downstairs. "O-kay! I also brought these in case any of you wanted to know a bit about this as well." "This book isn't cursed or anything is it...?" "I've read it and had it in my house and nothing bad has happened." "What about your bad luck?" "I had that before the book, don't worry." As you headed off to feed Tabitha you remembered the note you had received, the clatter of cat food urged the tabby out of hiding and you grabbed onto the note. It's hand written. 'Don't freak out, this isn't a threat or anything cliché. I wanted to let you know that I did check the perimeter of your place, nothing suspicious~ But your shed is slowly decaying, and has a massive wasp nest. The neighbor behind your house seems creepy so make sure your back door is locked. Sincerely: Suna~' At least he keeps his word, when did he have the time to look around anyway. On the back you noticed a little side note. 'P.S your door lock earns an A+ couldn't pick the lock, i'm not a stalker I just wanted to see if the lock held up.' Now you're a little creeped out but he seems to be honest, can a cat be taught to attack intruders? A bird can, surely there's a method of training a cat. Going back to the guys, you noted that Suga was just as interested in the paranormal as Asahi, the two of them reading together while Daichi looked around. "This question might seem a bit random but Suna is a trustable guy right?" "That is random, why do you ask?" "Well, when he walked me home we talked about him possibly becoming a detective since he's always taking pictures and being curious about people. He said he stake out my house later, I thought it was a joke but according to the note I got in the mail, he actually looked around." "I mean, i've never known him to lie but at the same time he's clearly a sneak." Suga piped up, still trying to read at the same time. "Did he incriminate himself in this note." Looking away you tried to avoid answering the ever adamant Daichi. "Y/n?" "I mean, sort of, but if he was doing something sketchy why would he tell me about it?" That stumped him, only for a moment. "Reverse psychology, what did he say?" "That he tested my door lock by trying to pick it. Which he couldn't and said that was good." "Of course Suna knows how to pick locks." "Does anyone else? Maybe that's why he checked? He also said my neighbor in the back is kinda suspicious. My back door has the same lock." "No one outright would tell me if they knew how to pick a lock, but I feel like a small portion of them can..." "Well Iwaizumi said you were basically campus security, and if Suna is a detective why don't you two talk it out? He probably has a list of any possible threats to certain areas or people. I probably have my own file for risks..." "-sigh- I'll see what I can do, thanks for telling me." You tilted your head once more in confusion. "You're welcome?" Just then Tabitha started to jump on the kitchen counter, the thud startling Asahi and gaining Suga's attention. A june bug got in. "I'm going to go hide, please kill the bug!" Like instinct you hunkered down, wanting to avoid the flying menace at all costs. Glancing outside from your plant room you noticed it had gotten dark fast, storms clouds rolled in, in the short amount of time the guys had been present. Checking the weather on your phone it warned of a severe thunderstorm, one of the perks of late spring... A soft thudding of rain signaled the beginning. "H-hey, Y/n?" "Did you get the bug?" Asahi himself looked terrified, did he not likes bugs either?"Daichi did but it went after Suga first... But we all have a question and i'm not sure how you'll answer" That explains his fear. "If you guys want to stay over it's fine, I don't have any spare clothes that'll fit you though." From the short hallway you heard Suga. "Told you!" Going back to the living room you noticed a few of the lamps already on, and Tabitha claiming one of the books as her temporary bed. "It might be a good thing you guys are here, storms can kinda freak me out if they're bad enough." "I told you about my fears but what about yours Y/n?" "Bugs, obviously, but also certain loud noises, especially loud pops or bangs." "I'm not sure if I have any phobias." "Ducks." What? Everyone collectively looked at Suga. "Like Geese? Or only ducks?" "Any of them that attack because they can!" "Swans count, most water birds then." "Yes! It's not a stupid fear either!" "Swans can break bones with their wings, it's valid, plus ducks can have weird teeth on their tongues... Gross." "See!" "I'm going to get some flashlights and another book or two, be back in a bit."Asahi's POVDucks have tongue teeth?! If anything i'm gaining new fears by learning... And that bug had it out for Suga, it kept trying to land on him. Trying to clear my head I picked up the plant book, a small piece of paper dropped out of it, a book mark maybe? There's a poem on it.I wear my heart on my sleeveBut my clothes are stretched and fadedI wear my heart on my sleevebut cannot help but hate itMy heart then recedes deep within my jacketI wore my heart on my sleeve so everyone attacked itMy heart overheats burning every emotionMy heart slowly bleeds with every striking motion I wore my heart on my sleeveNow I try to protect itMy heart's not to be seen But i'm still neglectedI hide my heart underneathBut it's still detected.Keeping my peaceI avoid those who caused this.I wore my heart on my sleeveAnd look at what it costed.It's hand written, Y/n must have jotted it down then forgot about it. It's sad, it's real, it makes me wonder what exactly happened to her. *CRACK!* "Ahh-!" "Sh*t!" "Suga!" "Sorry!" The lights flickered before staying on, but that didn't help cover up an uneasy feeling we all had. "Should we check on Y/n?" She said loud bangs or pops, does a crack count? "Yeah, if that scared all of us it probably scared her." Daichi lead the way, and I brought up the rear. Where is she anyway? Carefully we each peeked in a room. "I found the plant room, it's cool." The room I looked in happened to be her bedroom, once I saw she wasn't there I shut the door. "Not in her bedroom." We both looked to where Daichi was only to see that he had gone in the spare room without a word. Daichi's POVI opened the door to see Y/n on the floor, knees to her chest, trembling and completely silent. I don't know what to do. If I call out she might get scared again, same if I touch her, but I have to do something. Slowly approaching I tried not to make sudden movements, gently putting my hand out, on top of her head. The trembling stopped, looking up I saw her eyes, nothing but panic and dread filling them. "Y/n...? You're okay. It's only the storm, nothing here will hurt you." Kiyoko and Yachi might know what to do. Pulling out my phone I quickly messaged them. -Kiyoko-'Kiyoko?' 'Yes?''Y/n's having a breakdown, what do I do?' 'Breakdown how?' 'Quiet, curled up, lightly shaking.' 'The thunder?''Yes.''Well, is it just you at her house?''No, me, Asahi and Suga.' 'Well, one of you needs to hold her, take shifts if it makes it less awkward. She gets like Aone when shutting down, she has trouble getting words out' 'She'll be okay with us doing that?''She's been knocked out, flattened, kidnapped, and squeezed, you think she'll have a problem with you guys comforting her?''Fair enough. I'll let you know if anything else happens.' I trust Asahi but Suga might slip up and do something stupid, he's reliable but sometimes his inner dumb*ss breaks through. "D-Daichi? What's wrong with her?" Asahi, still scared by the lightening strike himself, poked his head through the doorway. "She's having an anxiety attack, I already asked Kiyoko what to do. Turns out we need to maintain physical contact, plus for awhile she may not speak." "Physical contact?" Suga echoed this statement."Yeah, like holding her I guess? I'm not good at comforting people alright." "You're usually the reason they need comforted." As I said, his inner dumb*ss. "Quiet. She suggested that we take shifts in case any one of us feels too awkward." "Do we move her? Or can she walk?" Asahi brings up a good point. Crouching back down, I took her hand carefully. "Hey, Y/n, can you walk?" Holding onto my hand a little tighter she stood up, still silent, and still shaky. "I'm taking you to your room, is that alright?" ....."It's like meeting Aone for the first time... So confusing." "Your motherly instincts need to kick in for this Suga, tend to your scared child." Abruptly he picked her up and headed towards her room, laying Y/n on her bed and covering her. This reminds me of when Hinata was sick one year... Full mom mode Suga. "Which one of us is staying with her first?" "Alphabetical order?" "I-I'm not sure if I can! What if I accidently hurt her!?" "I'm not even sure if you can, you usually can't hurt a fly let alone a person." "She needs your bear like stature to make her feel safe, use it to your advantage for once." "Fine... How long?" "A few hours, if you fall asleep it's okay, as long as she feels protected." "Okay... Will she be better in the morning?" "That's where the silent part comes in, or if she needs something during the night, we can't leave her while the storm goes on in case another close lightening strike hits." Asahi took a deep breath and calmly walked into her room, sitting on the edge of the bed and brushing the hair from her face. He'll do fine.~~~They're both asleep, I guess at some point Asahi got the courage to lay down with Y/n. Her shaking is gone entirely, I can imagine that's tiring... I remember having a fever and my whole body tensed and shook like that for awhile, it's horrible. Suga passed out in the guest room, Y/n was setting things up before she broke down. Putting sheets on the guest bed and making sure the half-bathroom was stocked... She's caring, it's horrible to see her go through this, I want to protect people but there's nothing I can do for anyone when the threat is in their head. That's what she's trying to do, maybe this is why? I need to ask Kiyoko more questions, hopefully she's still awake. -Kiyoko-'You up?''Somewhat, did something happen?''Not really, but I was wondering, what would happen if Y/n broke down but no one was here to help her?''Well, that has happened before... She stays sitting down for hours, crying, shaking, either until she realizes nothings happening or until she loses consciousness. Still after an incident she'll be quiet the following day.' 'What is this that she suffers from? Is it panic attacks?''I know you won't stop asking so i'll give you a straight answer, and I trust you won't tell anyone that doesn't need to know.''Ma'am, yes ma'am' 'Four letters P T S D the rest is up to Y/n to tell you about. The more you guys get to know her the more willing she'll be to tell you. I assume everyone will be trying to get her trust for various reasons, maybe in a few weeks when it's spring break we can all do something as a group.' 'Maybe, thank you Kiyoko, and sorry to bother you again.' 'It's fine, i'm glad you guys are there.' Asahi's shift is up, at this rate Suga shouldn't be needed, he can help her tomorrow by taking her to her classes. Quietly I tried to wake Asahi up, I have to be careful of he'll get scared and wake Y/n. "Asahi." "Oh, I- Uh, time to switch right?" He's all over the place emotionally, embarrassed that he was holding her, scared that he overstepped, and probably worried that she'll think less of him. "Yeah, my shift, the guest room is set up." Easing out of the bed he groggily walked out. Now for me to somehow get into the bed. It could be a good thing that she's exhausted, she's sleeping like a log. Lying next to her I realize just how small she is. It might be an unhealthy small, I know she eats but it might not be enough proteins... That being said she does have muscle, it's usually hidden under her clothes but up close I can make out, small, but strong muscles. To get my mind off of looking at her, I checked the weather on my phone, it's going to keep storming until the morning. I think her classes are in the afternoon, hopefully that works out. Slowly I made sure to actually hold her, Kiyoko said this is an important part of calming her down... When Kuroo told me what Hiroo did, they both were surprised she fell asleep so fast, was it because Hiroo was holding her? Does she need contact to sleep well? I'm thinking too much, for now I need to try and rest too. ~~~~~Back to your POVThere's an odd sensation on your back, is Tabitha poking you? Can cats do that? "Maybe we should call her professors or something?""No, we have to get her up, I asked Kiyoko." Now you remember, you had a breakdown in front of them... Pulling the blankets entirely over your head caused both a sigh of relief and a sound of shock. "Y/n if you're awake you need to get up and get ready. You have classes right?" "Mhm..." "C'mon, Kiyoko will kill us if you're a no show!" Suga isn't wrong. She's quite scary. Sticking your arms out of the blanket nest you had made, you motioned for something to write on. "Ah, give me a second." Heavy steps sounded and you felt a pen and notepad in your hands. Scrawling your main concern out you hesitantly pushed the note back out for them, keeping the pen. .....Can they not read your writing? You do write in cursive."Why would we hate you...?" More rapid writing. Suga's POVThis is getting heavier than I expected... The next little note made us worry more. 'Mess, burden, broken.' "Look I don't know much about dealing with thoughts that depressing but I do know that you're brain is lying to you! Everyone's a mess! You're not a burden, we all enjoy your company! And if need be the entire, massive network of teams will make sure you're not broken anymore!" I don't know where those words came from, i've seen what thoughts like this can do to people. Daichi and Asahi are speechless, i'm speechless. Was I too harsh? It felt intense."Hey- I didn't mean to yell, sorry if I upset you more..." We have only known her for a few days but I don't want her to beat herself up. If she's worse Daichi is going to kill me... Another note popped out. 'Thank you. Leave my room so I can change please.' This piece of paper is dotted with tears, happy tears? Back to your POV The door softly thudded shut, once it did you flung the covers off and cleaned yourself up. Throwing on a baggy, light colored hoodie and fake jeans, today was a comfort day. A gray beanie for a foggy mind... Stepping out of your room you went about your normal routine of feeding Tabitha, only to see that she was already fed. "Mrow." "You replacing me already Tabitha?" As if to answer she rubbed against Asahi, who had probably fed her. "Oh, you're up. Do you have everything?""Mhm." It still felt wrong to speak too much, a weird after effect of a break down that you hated. If need be you could have Daichi explain to the others what happened, they might think you're mad at them. Despite knowing everyone for a short amount of time, being around them felt right, felt comfortable. As if you'd known them all for years already. There are a few exceptions of course but they'll likely come around too. ~Asahi and Daichi continued to the campus while Suga stayed with you, thankfully Oikawa wasn't at the cafe today. He would keep bothering you until you spoke. "Hello, Y/n, the usual?" Misaki happily greeted you, not acknowledging Suga as someone that came in with you rather a separate customer. "Mhm." "I don't think i've been here before even though it's five minutes from campus. What do you usually get anyway?" The talking thing might have slipped his mind already. A harsh yellow stood out against the sienna wall in the back. Kyotani is trying, and failing to hide. "Mad-Dog you work here!?" Again that nickname, it fits but he doesn't seem to like it. "Is that a problem?!" "I- I mean no-! It's just unexpected is all!" "Here you go~! Did you want anything sir?" Visible disgust spread across his face at that term. "I'm not that old..." "I didn't mean it that way! Sorry!" ~In the end Suga got lemon bread, and a water, at a ten percent discount since Misaki insisted to make up for her mistake. In her defense there aren't many guys with grayish hair that stop by often, and it's a common term too. "What class do you have to get to Y/n?" "I can find it." Your voice was barely a whisper, a whisper that he heard at least. "Are you sure?" Nodding you set off, your psychology class wasn't too far away from the entrance. He half shouted that he'd send someone to help you get to your next class. Giving him a thumbs up you double checked that you had the right location and went in. Relieved that you were right for once. ~~More introductory topics and an optional assignment, you thought there'd be more work to do at this stage but you're partially relieved. There's a half hour gap between your classes but you didn't want to take the risk of being late to your first Neuroscience class given its prestige. "Hey..." A quiet greeting almost startled you, you recognized him as the guy Kuroo chased when you met Numai. "Kuguri?" "Where do you need to go." Handing him a note card he glanced at you skeptically. "Are you positive that's your class?" A little miffed you nodded aggressively, he didn't question why you weren't speaking much, maybe Suga filled him in since he doesn't seem the type to gossip. Kuguri's POVNeuroscience...? Is she that intelligent? This class is psychology, and the other day it was sports medicine. "Are you trying to be a doctor?" Less angry she shook her head. It's like she wanted to speak but couldn't make herself. I won't push her. ~"We're here." Putting her hands together she thanked me, and went into the lecture hall which already had a few students waiting. This class looks brutal... I hope she can handle it. Back to your POV Placing your supplies on the desk of your choice you noticed that the professor was also present already, messing with something in his bag, not acknowledging or greeting anyone. As more students trickled in something became apparent, everyone else has a med-school ID tag. There weren't any listed requirements aside from core credits, and the name of the professor didn't stand out to you. This must be an elite class... Rarely do you question your intelligence but damn if these med students didn't make your doubt go through the roof. It's like reciting poetry in high-school all over again. No one likes poetry anymore. The loud locking mechanism of a door brought you out of your flashback spiral. The main door was locked, anyone who wasn't on time couldn't get in now. A harsh method for the first day. "I'm sure most of you know that I am professor Yuzuru, and would like to addressed as such." From his bag he pulled out a large jar that, of course, housed what appeared to be a human brain. Floating in the preserving liquid that had gotten a slight yellow hue from age, that or it was the glass. "Now those of you that do know about my teaching methods, know that I expect my students to be enrolled in a proper medical institution. Those who do not, will be tested immediately." The set of indigo eyes met yours with a malicious glee. "You, girl. Come up here and tell us a few that you know about the intricacies of the brain." Obviously there's a mocking tone in his voice, one that infuriates you beyond reason. Stepping up to the chalk board behind a wide desk, you wrote your name under his before turning back to the other students. "Okay 'class' is this the brain in its natural form?" They looked towards Yuzuru for a confirmation. "Let's humor her questions." The collective census was no. "Correct, the brain doesn't really have a set form, without this preserving fluid it would be a pile of mush. Now, can the brain feel pain?" The answers were more divided with your own smirk you turned to the professor. "Care to tell them the answer~?" "Tch. The brain cannot feel touch or pain, those who didn't know that should be ashamed!" Kicking things up a notch you decided to write down some rare conditions. Speaking while trying to write the words big enough, you had to grab a stool so the words would be seen by all. "Now i'd like you all to pull out a sheet of paper, and describe, without notes or looking it up, what these conditions are. The answer can be vague or detailed, i'm not grading them~" You looked back at the board and double checked you had spelled it all correctly. Kluver Bucy syndromeTelosa Hunt syndromeCentral core disease Kleine-Levin syndromeExploding head syndrome"I know these conditions are rare but if you're truly trying to understand the medical aspects of the brain, you need to consider all possibilities. I'm here to understand the emotions and what affects them. I do know that a lot of you have to have something wrong with your ACC's and FIC's to be this damn full of yourselves! Professor Yuzuru, since i've done more teaching than you have, may I leave early? These 'certified' med students are going to be writing things down for awhile." Those same deep blue eyes, met yours again, this time holding no ill intent, rather a wash of surprise coated them. "What's your name, girl?" "It's on the board. I mean no harm in how i'm behaving but I cannot tolerate those who think they are above others. If anyone wants my respect they need to earn it..." Running a hand through his salt & pepper hair, he looked at the board, then to his students. The majority looked entirely lost. "You may leave... And I apologize for doubting you based on status. This doesn't mean i'll be lenient in the future." "I understand." Gathering your things you unlocked the door and stepped into the hallway, taking a deep breath and looking out a nearby window. A light mist had been coming down since the morning, the clouds are still bright with breaks of blue here and there. Now to find the gym on your own for once.~~You actually found it, but there's another problem... Hardly anyone is here! There's a particular set of three hanging around but your last encounter didn't make another interaction sound promising... Thankfully that bout of rage had fixed your 'not talking' problem but that doesn't change the fact you have nothing to speak to them about. The taller of the three spotted you. Playing it cool they simply walked over instead of rushing like Hinata or Nishinoya would, actually there's a lot that would rush over... Cockatiel would one-hundred percent, and it'd probably feel like being hit with a truck. "Hey there~ Are you skipping class~?" Such a sultry tone behind a normal conversation, unnecessary. "No, it's complicated." "Which class is it? I know a few of the professors can be a bit snippy on their first day." Bobata had already sat beside you on the bleachers, not trying to invade your space, rather relax as much as possible. "Neuroscience." "....." They get stunted easily too. "How the hell did you get sent out then? They kick you out?" "They better not have! We'll personally kick their-" "Soma, Yuji, chill out. Let her explain, that is if you want to." Apparently Oyasu has a violent streak, noted. "I was singled out for not being a med-student so I showed them up. Then asked if I could leave early. Professor Yuzuru agreed. That being said, are you three skipping class?" Two looked away while the man relaxing on the bleachers simply froze. "Core classes?" "-Sigh- Yeah." Bobata."Algebra." Oyasu."Honestly I don't even know but it's not something i'm interested in." Lastly, Terushima. "Are you guys here from a scholarship?" The three nodded. "Then you should go to the classes, it's disrespectful to those who actually have to pay." Glaring at them you managed to strike fear in all but one... You struck something entirely different in him. "Scold me more mami~" He vaguely looks like he could be partially Hispanic, but that doesn't make you less stunned. "Terushima, I can't respond because if I tell you 'no' that's scolding you, if I go along with your advances then it's another issue entirely!" "Yup! So you're stuck with me~" He put his arm around your shoulder and quickly pulled you closer. This kind of contact you were accustomed to, what followed, not so much. As the next hour had struck he used his phone alarm as a distraction to quickly peck you on the cheek. Call it reflex but you sort of, maybe, possibly, b*tch slapped him, it echoed through the gymnasium. "Damn." "Ouch." ".....""S-Sorry! It was a reflex, online self defense classes!" "Don't apologize!" Raising from the bleachers a few rows behind the group was Suna, phone in his hand, recording. Oyasu and Bobata quickly left, leaving Terushima to dig his-self out of the grave he'd dug. Suna simply smirked, sadistic sparkle in his eyes. Something tells you he already sent the video to someone. "Suna, you don't have to ruin his whole career over a peck... I mean it wasn't right but the slap should be enough of a lesson." "Hmm... Maybe but i'm streaming to the group chat." "Oh you're dead, dead." "You were just defending me!" "Yeah but I can't protect you physically from over forty dudes. Or however many are showing up today." "You're best bet is to start running~" Now you're left with Suna, who had eerily stopped recording. That is- "You didn't record or stream did you?" "Nope~""-Sigh- What were you doing here anyway?" "Break between classes. By the way Suga and Daichi are freaking out in the group chat, were you supposed to wait for them?" "Technically? Tell them that I found the gym on my own!" ~Not too long after a majority of the guys had filed in, Hoshi and Cockatiel being the first pair to spot you. In which the mostly blonde, picked you up from under your arms as if you were a disgruntled cat. "The captains thought you were lost again-!" "He thought you were lost too." "Any reason i'm being held?" "Air jail, you can't run off now!" Another thing you were used to, being picked up at random but the majority of the guys here can do it a helluva lot easier than the dudes in the start of high-school. He's holding this position a lot better than you'd have thought, just how long is he going to hold you out in front of him? He started to jog away from the stands, Hoshi following to make sure nothing else happened. "Guys I found her!" "Kogane! Put her down!" Daichi wasn't sure what to do, he didn't want to pick you up, but Cockatiel was being stubborn. "I don't want little dudette to get lost!" "She's not a child, we insist you set her down." That stoic, stern voice let you know that Ushijima was present now, this whole time you were facing Koganegawa since he didn't turn you around. "Not what I meant, she's tiny and the gym is packed today!" "I'd let her go, Sakusa is coming in any minute, if he's still protective of her, he may act irrationally towards you." Kita spoke up, the slightest hint of amusement lacing his voice. Cockatiel being who he is, straight up dropped you. Which is fine but startling. "He's right ya know, I can't see her now~" Tsukkishima had showed up out of nowhere, Yamaguchi wasn't around to keep him in check. "Shut it, lamp post." "How original, like I haven't heard that a million times." "You think you deserve a unique nickname~?" "Tch! Whatever pipsqueak, i'll have to buy you bell so I don't trip over you." "Ara ara~ I think you have the order wrong there~" Time to shut him up. "What are you talking about?" "You'd have to fall for me first then buy me a collar~" You could be a tease, this you knew, it's easy to tease guys, especially guys at the height of their hormones. Your voice can turn seductive in an instant, your borderline pitch made it simple. Just because you were homeschooled online through most of puberty doesn't mean you're clueless about lewd topics. If anything you had more time to 'research', probably why you're a little more tolerant to Terushima's antics. "W-what-?! I- Ugh!" It worked, stumbling over his words and nearly a volleyball he stormed off. However the others around you were also affected, either hiding their face or turning around. "That's all it takes...? Honestly? I expected more from a few of you." Suga, very confused as to what was going on, told you to follow him. In a corner Sakusa was waiting, still intimidating as ever. Komori wasn't present. "Um, welcome back?" "I'm supposed to check you for injuries?" A rather large hand had grabbed the hem of your hoodie already. "S-Suga! Can we at least do this in the actual medical bay?!" ~"I'm pretty certain nothing broke-" "We're not trying to question your intelligence, we, meaning me, Daichi and Asahi, think you'd hide an injury as to not upset anyone. Are we wrong?" There's a hint of teasing in his words, the three of them were spot on, it's only natural to hide injuries, physical or emotional. "Dang it..." Sakusa gestured to the raised chair, sort of akin to a dentists chair or examination table. This way you'd be at a reasonable height for your impromptu doctor. Taking off the oversized hoodie you weren't sure what to do next. Neither of the guys knew either. "I mean, if you're certain you're fine and it's been a couple of days there's not a need for a full examination..." "That's what i've been trying to say." "I'm just gonna head out, sorry Y/n!" Suga's more spineless than you thought, or he trusted the intimidating germaphobe to behave."....."".....?"He picked up your jacket and practically hosed is down in lysol, you didn't mind the smell of the cleaning product at all but the amount seemed excessive. Once he deemed it satisfactory he assisted you in putting it back on, before embracing you. At least his actions made sense now. At least he's aware of his strength, it's a tight hold nonetheless. "Um? Are you okay?" "... I am. This is me thanking you." "That spinal tap hurt a lot didn't it?" "I think I kicked a doctor..." "Eh?! Are they okay?!" This made him quietly laugh, you could tell since he still hadn't let go of you, the vibrations in his chest were a giveaway. "Yes, and since I was not in the right state of mind he didn't blame me." "Sakusa, i'm not meaning to rush you but you've been holding me for a long time..." His body tensed as the realization dawned on him. "S-Sorry! I'm sure Motoya is looking for me, see you later?" "It's fine, go on, i'll probably stay here for a moment." Much like Suga he booked it out of there. Hopping down from the table you decided to rest on the shorter bed. The shaking from last night had put strain on your muscles, slowly pushing them to their limit and holding them there in waves. The relief when it calms down is warm and peaceful, that's what normally helps you sleep afterwards. It was different last night, having someone there with you, when times are tough, when you feel ultimately alone, when your terrible thoughts are all you hear... Voices in the hallway were getting closer. "Dumb*ss! Still receiving with your damn face!" "I've gotten better! Shut up!" Hinata, and Kageyama, you didn't know them that well but Hinata seems to be innocent enough, it could be a front though. Like the others he has a well toned build, but smaller, lean if you will. As for Kageyama he has resting b*tch face and doesn't seem to know it, personality wise he's awkward and probably uses the wrong words to explain certain things. "Just get some tissues for your nose, dumb*ss! If it doesn't stop you'll faint!" "I can't die from this can I?!" He could but it would have to be severe, unless he had thin blood."I don't know! Shut up and grab something-! Not me, dumb*ss!" He didn't specify. This interaction made you giggle, this brought their attention to your closed curtain. Crap. The curtain ripped open, nearly popping off the metal rings attached to the horizontal pole holding it. "Hi?" "-Sigh- I thought you were a ghost!" "Don't yell at her! Are you okay?" "Dumb*ss what if it's a personal reason!" "Can you calm down, both of you." ""He started it!!"" "You two need couples therapy..." Your statement disgusted them, but they did quiet down. "So... Why are you in here?" "Tired, needed a break from everyone but didn't want to leave yet." "You can't just sleep a room away from a bunch of male idiots! What if someone else came in here like Terushima, or Oikawa!" "You think of them that lowly?" "Yeah that's a bit harsh Kageyama, they'd never purposely hurt Y/n, or any woman." Did lewd implications work on the awkward and the hopefully innocent? "Well, some people like pain~ Personally not my thing, i'm sure a few of the guys have indulged in a few 'partners' kinks~" You didn't add in that you had no clue what you were into because they already had enough. Kageyama turned around entirely, and Hinata's nose started to bleed again. "You two alright~?" "Y-yeah! Perf- Perfectly fine!" "....." So he is innocent? Maybe? You have a feeling once he's comfortable around you he'll be a bit more forward. "Well, i'll give you some privacy, I don't want the captains to start worrying again." Leaving them in the infirmary you stepped back into the chaos. ~"Oh, Y/n are you alright?" "I'm okay Ennoshita, I needed a break is all." He's one of the normal few in the rowdy bunch. "Out of the several things that have happened to you physically was my whole hand ordeal the worst?" Kunimi brought up a good question. "It's hard to say, they were all accidents, well what Terushima did was on purpose but not painful." "Wait, what did Terushima do?" You forgot that no one knew, to be honest Suna or Oyasu would've let it slip eventually. "I'm not trying to be a snitch..." "We'll just bring you to the captains if you don't tell us.""Are you sure you're not related to Suna, Kunimi?" "Pretty sure. Now what did he do?" "-Sigh- He kissed me on the cheek and I ended up slapping him, more out of reflex than spite." "Yup, i'm telling the captains~" "Just don't tell them I told you alright... It makes me feel bad." "You shouldn't feel bad for him, he assaulted you." "I don't really think a peck on the cheek is assault, backhanding someone is assault. Sending him to a volleyball firing squad is being an accomplice to further assault or attempted murder..." "Either way i'm telling them, they'll probably start babying you." "I'm not sure any of them are capable of that..." "She's right, i'm trying to imagine them taking care of a child and it does not end well, Kunimi." He had sent the message to the captains, now you wanted to head back to the infirmary and hide. ~Minutes later a majority of the captains had started showing up, badgering you about what happened. Then Bokuto showed up, in his down mood, he grabbed onto you pulling you to the floor to cuddle. Right there. In the middle of the hallway. In front of the other guys. "Be careful with Chibi-chan!" "C'mon Bokuto bro, at least get somewhere softer." "Unhand her." Ushijima is scary even when he's caring..."I'd protest too but honestly she seems to like being cuddled..." You tried to ignore what Daichi said, mostly because it's true. It's time to cheer up their resident owl."What's wrong Bokuto?" "Tsukkishima." Is... Is that the only response you're getting? I mean, it's reason enough no doubt. "You don't need to repeat what he said, but what was it about?" "A bunch'a stuff..." He's shutting down the topic, must have been pretty bad. "Can we get up? This is a little awkward..." "It's not weird, they're the ones still watching." "She's probably uncomfortable from being on the floor." Kita's not wrong. The floor is cold and probably various amounts of dirty. Bokuto's POVThey're right, I picked her up and placed her on top of me, her hoodie makes her feel like a pillow! "Why are you red? Are you sick?" "N-No, it's just- We're too close..." She's blushing, isn't she~? "Kotaro, let her go." Eh? I looked up. They're all staring down at us, they look intense... I haven't seen them like this since our last championship game! "We don't need you crushing her again! Are you alright, Chibi-chan?!""S-sure.""Little cutie might like that for all we know~" Hm? Testing his theory out I held her a little tighter. She feels warmer, does that count? "Don't give him any ideas, Kuroo." "Despite his childish personality, our Kotaru Bokuto is not innocent." Y/n turned her head trying to face them. "I don't think any of you guys are innocent... It probably... Varies..." "Are you alright, Y/n? You sound a bit off." "I think she's falling asleep?" "Sorry..." I kept holding her as I got up, adjusting her to a more comfortable hold. Half asleep she grabbed my shirt and pulled herself closer to me. "She's like a baby owl~ That's my new nickname!" I tried to be quiet, they're still staring at me... But so are the twins and Suna, when did they get here? "I'm exposing all of you to the group chat~ The other's are going to flip their sh*t~" "Oi, I say we take Y/n for her own safety!" "No, I trust you Osamu, but by no means would I leave her with Atsumu." "That's why i'll be with the as*hole the whole time." "Aran, go with them." When did he get here? "Is this okay with Y/n though?" "I mean..." Daichi was going to say something but stopped himself, now they're being scary towards him. "Eheh- Well, Suga, Asahi and I kinda stayed the night with her. She was helping Asahi with his fears then I brought Suga just to make sure nothing was going on." "Is this why you informed us she likes to cuddle?" ".....""....." "Oh, look at the time, I have to go!" "Dang, I don't think i've seen Daichi run that fast before. So where does Baby Owl live?""I'll go get Daichi~" Oikawa's pretty fast too! "But, wait, do you think Y/n's parents will mind? Or is she on her own?""Good point, Kita, but if those three were over last night that surely means she lives alone, does it not?" "Are you actually caring for once Ushi!?" His glare is getting scarier! "Hey, shouldn't I go too? I can stake out the interior to see if it's safe, maybe do some detective work since none of us actually know anything about her.""That's an invasion of privacy." "What you guys aren't curious about little cutie~? It's not like he's learning her finances or going through her clothes." "I'd have Aran to supervise, as well as Osamu. Or you could just trust me." "I think he'll be okay." Ushi agrees."Fine." Kita too!"Don't go overboard, and tell me everything you find!" "Tell me too!" "I'll share what I find appropriate, if you use it as an unfair advantage i'll personally inform Y/n of your deceit~" S-Suna can be scary too...! Is this how Asahi feels all the time? ~~~Back to your POVIt's not clear if today went by quickly or slowly, but you woke up in your own bed with Tabitha on top of you, staring at the door. Checking your phone to see what time it is you noticed several messages. The gist of them being that the twins, Suna and Aran took you home, and are supposed to be staying with you... Why? Staying in bed you asked the group chat. -Volleyball Uni GC-'Why are 4 guys at my house exactly?' 'We assumed you live alone, leaving you whilst asleep didn't feel right.''Who tf uses whilst' 'WakaWaka apparently' 'I really need to label all of you guys, this is going to be confusing, so far i'm talking with Tendo, Ushijima and Tsukkishima right?''Count me in Chibi-Chan~' 'You're not answering my question''Basically we were worried about you living alone, so we figured we'd send you home with a few of us~ Can't have our medic getting robbed or mugged can we?' 'Or kidnapped because you could easily fit in a suit case, pipsqueak.' 'He's not allowed over without Yamaguchi.''I vote he's not allowed over, period.''Agreed.''Who said I wanted to stay over?''Oh c'mon~ Tsukki, i've noticed you getting jealous~' 'So you've assigned me guards more or less?''Yep Yep! Everyone in our massive class is a good guy, don't worry! If they do anything illegal, we'll kill them :)''Tendo is also added to the list, not without proper company.''Noted.''He isn't wrong Chibi-chan, we're very protective of you even though it's only been a week.' 'I hear the twins fighting, I need to make sure they aren't breaking anything. Hopefully i'll have you all labeled next time.''They're fighting already?!' 'It has been less than an hour.''Don't act surprised.''Stay out of their fight, this time!' Pushing the ever hefty tabby off of you, you cracked open your bedroom door to peek and listen in. "Didn't you say that you two agreed when it came to Y/n..." The twins were rolling around on the floor while Aran tried to mediate. "Not when he's sayin' she'd like him better!" "Why the hell would she like you at all?!" "She hardly knows either of you." This made them pause, you have only spoken to them once, maybe twice. "Guess we got a little too ahead of ourselves." "When she does know us though, she's gonna like me more~" "Before you start fighting again, where's Suna?" "Thought you were watching him?" "Why would I be watchin' him?! That's your job!" He's not in the bedroom with you, maybe he's in a guest room? But why would they need to keep an eye on him? Compared to a lot of the others he's calm, as far as you've seen anyway. Shutting your door and locking it, you double checked that no one was in your room and got changed into your night gown. Like before you had a pair of shorts underneath just in case. Can't be too careful. And they're fighting again... This time Aran isn't around, probably looking for Suna, it can't get more chaotic than those two right?...

Chat Noir x Male!Reader ~ The Violinist ~ 00
Chat Noir x Male!ReaderThe ViolinistMiraculous Ladybug x Phantom of the OperaPrologue"Raoul, dear, there's no need to-"Your father - step-father, you reminded yourself - raised a hand with a huff, and your mother quickly fell silent, offering you a sympathetic frown. She loved you both, was only trying to keep the peace, but this wasn't the first time you'd found yourself wishing she would stand up for you more. "No, he knows how I feel about it. He knows he's not supposed to play."You shifted awkwardly in front of the pair, eyes darting from the carpet between your feet and the violin on the table in front of your parents and back again. You tried to avoid meeting their gazes, too afraid of what you might see there. You had known your father's rules and broken them regardless. Perhaps worse, you had been careless enough to allow him to catch you doing so. There was no defending your actions, nothing you could say or do to make this any easier.Raoul snapped his fingers, beckoning to a maid who came and hovered by his elbow. You watched in horror as the Comte picked up your precious violin and handed it off to her."To avoid this in the future you'll be receiving only a monthly allowance while you're living in Paris," he told you, sounding as though he was trying to calm himself down and keep himself from shouting at you. "You may no longer be living with us, but so long as we're the ones paying for your accommodation, you'll be living by our rules. No. More. Music."Raoul waved a hand at you dismissively, and you turned on your heel to leave, trying to hide the tears that filled your eyes as you speed-walked towards the door. You hesitated as you saw your seven-year-old half-sister Rose sitting on the stairs outside where she could eavesdrop easily on the discussion in the sitting room. You deliberated with yourself for only a moment before taking a seat beside her to do the same. "You're too harsh on him, darling." Your mother's tones were soothing as always. "He's still our son. We raised him. Nothing will change that." "Things have changed," Raoul snapped back. "All I've seen in his face for the past eight years since you told me is him. Everything he says and does, makes me think of him, and what he did to us. And music? Music is the harshest reminder of all.""You can't hold _____ responsible for anything Erik did!" Christine protested. Outside listening in, you found yourself tensing despite yourself. Your parents had never let slip your birth father's name before. "You're building a rift between us, one that will never be filled. We'll lose him forever!" "If I allow him to become anything like his father, we already have."*****You released Rose from the tight hug you had her in and straightened, moving in for a hug from Raoul who was holding her hand. He pulled back, however, offering you a hand that you hesitantly shook, wondering if your parentage was the reason he never hugged you anymore, or if that was just a part of becoming a man. Your step-father looked to his wife expectantly, and she met his gaze."I need a few minutes more."He nodded, and left without another word. You carefully took a seat on your bed beside your mother, nervously twiddling your thumbs as you waited for her to speak."I wish you'd chosen somewhere else, _____," she admitted finally, eyes trailing over the Parisian skyline through your window. "Anywhere but here."You remained silent. You'd had this discussion before, and it was too late to change your mind now anyway. Besides, her reluctance only served to tell you that you were on the right track."I have something for you." Christine's voice drew you from your reverie, and you turned to look at her in surprise as she produced a small jewellery box from her bag, opening it to reveal an unfamiliar ring. "Your father gave this to me when he asked me to marry him. When I chose Raoul, I tried to give it back, but he bade me keep it. You're more Raoul's son than his, but I feel he would've approved of me passing it on to you."You accepted the ring from her hesitantly, wondering why she would have given it to you. Did she suspect your true motives for coming to Paris? It wasn't possible, surely. You'd told no one of your goal, not even Rose. She couldn't possibly have found out.If Christine knew anything of your plans, she didn't let on. Instead, she hugged you tightly once you had accepted her offering, and didn't let go until Raoul was hitting the car horn outside. Only then was she gone, leaving you to wallow in your guilt and your lies and your uncertain future.

I accidentally submitted something that wasn't an xReader. So sorry! :ashamed: it's in the "other" folder and it's called "Why Do You Cry" again, I'm really sorry.

Uh...hate to break this to you but writing XReader IS inserting an OC. The person reading the fic becomes the OC but it's still an OC as XReader is just stories told in second person view.

Hey, not to sound rude, but can you guys check exactly WHAT people post in this group?

Seriously, my inbox gets flooded with things that are usually journal posts saying "OMG I HAVE A LOT OF WATCHERS NOW!!!!1!!!!" or just completely out of context things like "OMG MY LIFE IS SOOOOOO BORING/SUCKY YADDA YADDA YADDA"

Just putting in an inquiry, if you could just inform people, thanks...
