⚠️ Warnings: accidental harm, traumatized Shoto

◇ mostly yandere!Shoto Todoroki but can be read as normal boyfriend!Shoto Todoroki after first few words.

A/N: I think that's it? maybe some bad writing/possible spelling errors. Enjoy! ♡

Whether it's because you escaped or talked back to him, Shoto becomes frustrated, angry, and even hurt by it. But he's patient. He tries talking to you. He really does. However, with feeling so many emotions and you still not listening, Shoto accidentally actives his quirk.

When he hears your pained scream and sees the wound, his heart drops. He holds you down as he tends to your wound. When the wound is finally tended to, he's rocking you back and forth. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Please forgive me, Name. Please...I'm sorry," Shoto shakily whispers. It stays like that for hours, him crying and apologizing to you.

He's still rattled as he picks you up and carries you to the bedroom. Shoto leaves and an hour later comes back with your favorite food. He puts the tray down and sits on the edge of the bed (nearly falling off). It's a few more minutes before he speaks again.

"I won't hurt you again Name. I promise," He looks at you, "I won't. I won't be a monster and hurt you again." Shoto's voice was hoarse as he said this. And though you were still hurt and angry at him, you could tell he wasn't lying.

And he wasn't. After that incident, Shoto did everything to stop it from happening again. He does yoga (he has you join him sometimes), learned breathing techniques, and trains even more to control his quirk better, just to name a few. Even had a device made to wear near you that, when turned on, would enable his quirk. The device can only be turned on with his voice saying the password, though.

And just like he promised, that was the last time Shoto ever hurt you with his quirk.

'Demon' Chapter 6 : "I'm Counting On You" Bakugou x Fem!Reader (book 1)

First of all, Thank you for reading!

Ao3 LINK

Summery: A slow-burn action/romance where you begin in the bowels of a Villain base and rise up to join U.A.'s top Hero Class. This life was your choice. In the event of learning then losing the love of a friend, you make a decision that changes your reality at the core--to become an imposter among villains and bring them down from the inside out. The organization that ruined your premature perfect life was known as H.H., after their leader Head-Honcho. His crime of choice: intelligence. Training and conducting espionage agents and assassins across Japan as a means to further the dark underground network. Your training began at thirteen, after managing to impress the multi-faced villain with your stealth and your conviction. Rumors would soon spread through the dark alleys of Naruhata City of a masked assassin known as Demon, whose bare face could steal the souls of her targets. Everything appears to be going to plan; but the Hero Agencies you've been slipping information to are calling for an end to your superior sooner than you had anticipated. Your time as 'Demon' is limited. What will happen when your world comes crashing down? Where will you go, when everything you had known you helped to destroy?

(Figured I should start adding the summery to these?)

Bakugou arrives in this chapter!

I hope you guys enjoy the story~

WARNINGS: Injury, Violence, Near Death Experience, SFW

•·················•·················•👹🖤⛓🔪💣•·················•·················•

It wasn't meant to happen this way.

That's life, you think--even as the words repulse you to the center of your being.

You hated when things didn't go to plan. That control, that grip on reality that you always had--today it slipped, and all you could do was stumble as you ran after it.

The Hero Agency never had the chance to raid the H.H. base. The correspondences no longer mattered. What you had hoped was a coincidence had turned out to be a long-con, and you'd been none the wiser.

A plan to draw out All Might during an attack on the Hero Class students of his Alma Mater in a completely rigged section of the Industrial Park in Musutafu was currently underway--and had been for hours.

"Hurry up, Demon! Kill those brats and get your ass back to center point!" The crackle of static in your ear makes you grit your teeth. Head-Honcho's orders were impatient, and suggested he was getting some resistance.

In front of you to the right, Midoriya lay sprawled over a heap of rebar. To your left, Todoroki was held down by an opportunistically placed joist beam that you had managed to fell--it wasn't crushing him, but combined with the blow to his head, he wasn't going anywhere.

And then, in the center, Bakugou. He was the only one with energy left--the only one you had left awake. He writhed against the cord you had tied him down with--trapping him against a concrete column, and it eerily reminds you of the last time you had seen him. On the television, at the end of the Sports Festival.

There were pops and crackles at his hands as he continued to overuse his quirk; muscles bulging and veining. His mouth was open and he was shouting, calling you all kinds of terrible things. Stupid Villain, bastard, shitty mask-faced creep...

You're just desperately stalling for time.

And there it is. The sign. The little spark of hope--and it hurts, because you realize how much worse things were going to get. Especially for them.

An explosion rocks the ground, sending pebbles through the air--causing you to bend at the knees for balance. It flips Midoriya unto his back, and you can hear the strain of the metallic cord against Bakugou's uniform.

It's All Might, no doubt. You assess the direction of the force, and you can tell it's coming from the north end. The static in your ear-piece resorts to ringing. The attention was no longer focused on you.

You had been standing ten feet away from the ash-blonde, holding his own gauntlet with your finger on the safety pin. And as the wind dies down.. You pull it.

His eyes widen, but even as he stares down what might be his death--he's still grimacing. No tears, no whimpers--just anger. Determination. Like he was still going to kick your ass.

Before the explosion goes off however, you lift the gauntlet skyward. You tear the ear-piece away and hold it out, clasped in your palm, while the immense force that goes off presses you down into the asphalt.

After it's all let out.. Your arm drops and the gauntlet clinks against the leftover throwing knives on your thigh. It's sore--actually, all of you is sore--and you finally allow your body to hunch from exhaustion in front of him.

"What.."

Your head tilts up to look at him as the word leaves his mouth in a dazed whisper.

Finally.

You take slow steps toward him. He's not moving this time. He's just watching you, eyes unsure, and his snarl turning into a straight line.

For all his anger and all his explosive energy; he was just as calm. And it's his eyes that draw you in and keep your body upright as you get closer--and you know if you reached out, he might hurt you... but you could touch him.

"...I'm the defector." You croak, and the voice-mod is cracked--it's making your voice sound more eerie than threatening.

And god, it feels good. Just to say it. Just so someone else knows. The bloody water you had trudged through for all these years started disappearing down a drain, and your foot steps became easier to take.

You hold up your clenched hand, a bit of wire from the ear-piece visible.

"There's a door in the warehouse that goes down to the sewers. The lock combination is six, nine, two, four, eight." You inhale, watching his expression. "Six. Nine. Two. Four. Eight." You repeat, and swallow hard. You can taste blood somewhere at the back of your tongue.

"You must be quiet. Wake them up, and come in from the back; follow the wires--there's a portable operation set-up behind that door. The wires will lead you to the monitor room. I'll find a way to lower the shield." You punctuate each word, making sure the message is clear through your broken voice-mod.

"...It shouldn't have to be you. But it is."

He's been staring you down and locking the information in. Or, at least you hoped.

"This ear-piece connects to Head-Honcho directly. You can use it to get an advantage." You hesitate while bringing your hand close to his face, but you don't have the luxury of asking permission. You slip it into his ear, and move back away. You take the gauntlet off, setting it on the ground, and moving yourself to standing behind the concrete column.

"I'll report, and make sure he knows you're dead. It'll cause a commotion, and the distraction will give you some time."

You begin to release the restraints, and you notice your hands are shaking.

"...I'm counting on you, Bakugou."

As the restraints fall away, he throws himself forward and whirls around the column with his hands open and bared--ally or not, he wanted to tear you down.

But you weren't there.

Shit! This was all such a mess. They'd been fighting for almost an hour now, the three of them, and he wasn't sure how much more he could take.

But it's not like he really had a choice.

Bakugou almost wanted to accuse you of lying.. But he wasn't stupid. According to Todoroki, you had been called out as an assassin at some point--and assassins kill their targets. You had been careful. They had already gone up against several others before they got to you--and those guys weren't pulling punches. You used their tired and beaten bodies to incapacitate them.. But not kill them.

You had been deliberate.

But that didn't mean this all still couldn't be a farce. You may be laying a trap for them or something.

He groans, hands gripping at his scalp. There wasn't any time to think. All Might was still taking down Nomu in the next ward over, and considering what he had seen at the USJ incident--he was hopeful, but even the Symbol Peace had limits. His eyes drift over to Midoriya, and it makes his head hurt worse.

He wants to do this himself. But then he would be leaving them here to get hurt.

Dammit.

Katsuki finds himself standing over Todoroki first though, kicking him awake. "HEY, STOP SLACKING OFF!!"

----

"Do you really think we can trust them?"

Bakugou growls beneath his breath--ever since he'd managed to wake them, they were questioning his decisions. Todoroki seemed especially suspicious; but they had both agreed upon waking that their opponent could have done much worse damage.

"I don't know." He admits, "But it's the best plan we got, and I'm ready to blow this scumbag into next century." He ends it in a growl, hands clenched into fists as his boots squelched against the god-who-knows-what sludge of the sewer.

Midoriya was taking stock in their surroundings, especially the wires they had been instructed to follow. "Whoever he is.. he seemed to have eyes almost everywhere. There's enough wires here for hundreds of security feeds.."

"Yeah, so what?" Bakugou seethes, but his attention is drawn up ahead and he raises his hand behind him. "--wait.."

His classmates stop, eyes peering into the darkness ahead..

Suddenly there's static popping in Bakugou's ear.

"The objective has been compromised.. Demon, return to Stage Alpha. Agents 213 and 486, continue to center point."

Bakugou was really starting to hate all the cheesy jargon this guy was using. Stage Alpha. Puah.

"What did he say?" Midoriya asks, taking a step closer.

"Hell if I know, he keeps using stupid code-names for everything. He ordered Demon to 'return to Stage Alpha'."

"Do you think this could be Stage Alpha? You mentioned they were leading us to a Monitor Room." Todoroki's input is solid--but none of them were sure if having Demon there would help them or hinder them.

"Maybe. It sounds like he's calling the shots from afar, using the monitors like he's looking down at a chess board. If that's the case, and he's calling Demon back to him.. does he know we're here somehow?"

"Well you two can sit here and figure it out if you want to, but I'm going." And back into the sludge Bakugou goes.

Fortunately for them, there hadn't been much farther to go. The wires lead them to an incline and a ladder, where the manhole cover hand been removed. After checking the area above, they move into a storage cellar.

Following the same wires, they're lead to a propped open high security door. Flush against the wall, Bakugou sticks his head out just enough to look through the narrow bulletproof window.

His body runs cold, and his posture turns rigid.

What the hell is that?

----

"Access granted."

You wanted to roll your eyes while you waited for the hydraulic doors to pull apart. While you weren't well versed in movies, you were familiar with a slew of children's cartoons and the mind-numbing marathons the ran in the lounges of the base.

Head-Honcho, evidently, had an ego you were not aware of until now--because everything he had laid out for this little attack on the pro-heroes had the most cringe-filled science-fiction knock-off vibe to it. Who'd have imagined you'd spend your last moments like this, suffocating in clichés.

But as you stride into the monitor room--it's no different then your presentations and debriefs. He's turned his chair away from the monitors to inspect you. He's on an elevated platform, and there's at least fifty or more screens on display.

Flickering across them, you catch bits and pieces of pro-heroes taking on the Nomus. There's no Shigaraki and his henchman--but you had no doubt they were hiding somewhere, orchestrating the nightmarish creatures in line with Head-Honcho's agents.

Though, you note, All Might is not among them.

"Took you long enough." He spits, and the voice is.. not his normal one. You'd heard it before over the speakers or in your device, but never in person.

It was strained, and it reminded you of someone scratching their nails across nylon.

You bow, "My apologies, I was intercepted." Or, you had just been scouring just outside, trying to find the source of power for his shield while your nerves threatened to eat you alive.

You had been only partially successful. You had located the power source, but you were unable to tap into it and turn it off.

But it was better than nothing.

"I don't appreciate your behavior Demon.." His form is large--too large--as he leans forward into the synthetic light.

It's the first time you had ever really seen him.

He was.. disproportionate. His head was indeed too big for his body, and it explained the metal apparatus that kept his skull suspended above his shoulders. It was squared off, with his face showing through a frame--you couldn't help but compare it to the monitors glowing behind him.

"You have a knack for avoiding my cameras.."

You tense.

Looking into his bulging eyes that threatened to pull from metal sockets, you start to feel sweat pool beneath your mask.

And like that, his head begins to swivel.

Clicking into place like a sick mechanism, a different face sits inside the frame. Dark and beady eyes sunken into soft, globular flesh. His skin hangs from his cheek bones, drawn backwards like curtains as his lips pull into a smile. An unpleasant, smug, sinister smile.

He was more monster than man after all.

BOOM

As though they had sensed the oncoming confrontation, Bakugou unleashed a slurry of explosions, turning the security door into shrapnel. As soon as the commotion started, however, the shield was already brought up.

The floor shifted as a compartment below opened, and a metal-barred dome entraps the elevated platform.

Undeterred, Bakugou runs at it with his hands blazing.

Wait!--It takes every ounce of your self control not to reach out, knowing the inevitable outcome.

An electrical current buzzes to life, and just as he's within blasting reach--there's a loud POP that sends Bakugou flying backwards, tumbling into his classmates.

"Kaachan!"

"I'm fine!" It's said through teeth and bloodied gums as he rises back from the floor, the electrical current still running across his body and causing him to flinch.

It's a desperate charade, but you pull for it anyway. Unsheathing your longest blades from your shoulders, you go to your fighting stance. "Allow me to disassemble them for you.." You hoped the adrenaline might blind him--make him forget these were the same boys you had fought earlier.

We just need a few more minutes..

But all you hear is the metallic click of a magazine.

You spare a glance at the three brave students, whose eyes were wide and much too exhausted, before you dared to look over your shoulder.

Pressed against the barring is a gun; but you've never seen a make and model like that before. Blades were more your thing, but whatever that was--it looked like a gun that could shoot a javelin. A harpoon more so than a shotgun.

And of course, the barrel was pointed at you.

"...So. You're the leak." Everything outside of the weapon had been blurry, but now his face comes into focus between the bars of his personal Faraday cage.

There's the smallest tinge of pride in your chest at the revelation. All that time assuming he knew about your betrayal had been well spent. Mission accomplished.

Well, almost.

"I won't lie to you, Demon. I'm surprised. You could have been something grand, something untouchable... I never suspected you would throw it away like this. Not after how well we treated you."

He hums, then clicks his tongue. "It's such a sad day when you have to destroy the things you make."

He didn't make you. You remind yourself, arms slipping to drop your blades to the floor. This was your choice.

"Any last words, Demon?"

Just a few more minutes.. You take your time, straightening your posture like you're about to do something grandiose--

"Hey, you big ugly bastard!"

Head-Honcho's face swivels again, and a third face slinks into the front slot. This one was.. intimidating. Teeth were jutting out of exposed gums, and his eyes were larger--colored with jaundice and sporting large slit pupils that focused on the ash blonde like a predator seeking prey.

"FLASH GRENADE!"

The room turns blindingly white. Even with your mask covering your eyes, the world spun out into oblivion.

You can hear something over the ringing. Grinding and sharp--and through your sleeves, you can sense the cold. Todoroki's ice, no doubt.

Over that, there's a monstrous roar from behind the shield. The buzzing returns, and there are explosions echoing somewhere.

You slide back unto the ground, desperately trying to regain focus..

You've lead them to their death.. You suck in air, eyes shut tight to block out the light burned into your retinas...And they're trying to save you. You've got to get up.

And you do, as the world shifts back into focus. There's a slab of ice between you and metal bars, and you see Midoriya just dodge a bullet from Head-Honcho's gun. Bakugou is using longer ranged explosions, but they're not enough to damage the shield. Todoroki can't aim a blast of fire long enough to melt it.

It's time.

You step out from around the ice, walking towards a wall on the far left.

"Hey!"

As Head-Honcho and the others turn to look at you, your hands fumble at the back of your mask--and by some miracle, it causes everyone to hesitate.

You rip it off, and bits of metal scatter to the floor from underneath as the cracked voice-mod comes lose. You hold the mask in your hand at your side; but you aren't looking at Head-Honcho.

You look at Midoriya first, whose face blanches at the revelation.

"Hamasaki?!"

The fact he remembered your fake name makes it a thousand times harder. And of course, it looks as though the boys are about to start fighting again--like his recognition of you was enough to inspire them to keep going even as they broke their bodies.

Now, you look to Head Honcho. The barrel of the gun had been moved back to your position, just like you wanted.

You hold the mask up, and you hear his enraged scream as he pulls the trigger.

It's the desperation in his eyes that blocks out the pain. Knowing you had won in the end.

The bullet, which had been as you'd guessed--more like a harpoon--shatters your mask in your hand before it penetrates your sternum. It sends you backwards into the cement-brick, where the bullet continues after, burrowing into the network station beyond the wall.

And like that, in your splotchy vision, you see the monitors blink out behind the bars.

"No, NOO!" Frantic. Panicked. The shield's electrical current disappears too.

Finally, the pain sets in as the world slows down. Cement rubble had never felt more comfortable. The explosions and yelling and struggling sounded like it was miles away, but you could just make out Bakugou as he bursts through the shield.

Get em, guys.. You try to say it, but your mouth won't move. I'm sorry I put you through this.

As you go to say good-bye, you could swear you heard..

"I AM HERE!"

The need to laugh bubbles up in your mind instead, and you manage to smile despite the numbness in your face. There's that fleeting feeling, that hope, that those words always gave you.

And then the world drifts to black.

----

"Yeah, I got 'er."

"Get her to safety Young Bakugou.. I will take care of this Villain."

----

Sirens.

The beep beep beep of a heart monitor.

Frantic movement, needles, tubes..

----

You crawl up unto his bed, using the star-patterned comforter as your ladder. He holds it down to help you up--especially since one of your hands was already full.

Safely atop and on your knees, you smile and hand him the paper you'd been holding.

He takes it from you and admires it a moment with a big goofy smile, before he takes some tape from his bedside table and fastens it to the wall among your other drawings. "That's a good place for it, ya know." He muses, before turning back to look at you. You're heart is so swollen you could scream with happiness as he dotes over you, but you never make a sound.

"I've been drawing too," He reaches over the bed and pulls out a notebook from underneath, flipping through the pages. He sets it on the comforter and points.

Your head tilts as you inspect it, but you're clueless as to what it is. There's words and lines everywhere, and stick figures and arrows.

"What is it..?" You ask, voice so quiet he had to lean in to hear it. But he's used to that.

"It's a plan. For you." He holds it up, turning it to make sure it's right-side-up for you. "See, that's you!"

Your brows knot, and you lift your small, child-sized hand to touch the figure on the page. "A plan for me... for what?"

"To make you a hero too!"

----

Your eyes drift open, and your assaulted by the glare of sunlight.

There are.. birds. Chirping; outside, beyond the large glass windows of the room.

You delight in the warmth of the moment, trying to focus your eyes on the wonderfully contrasting colors--the cool blues of the shadows, and warm amber to creams of the highlights. It's your bed, you realize, and your body below the rumples and wrinkles of a white blanket.

...Alive.

You aren't sure what happened between the Sports Festival and now, but you could never recall the boy being that fast. He was darting from wall to wall and leaping over alleys like nothing--leaving you to run breathlessly far behind him and sweating through the dark fabrics of your uniform.

Something about that delights you, despite the effort you were putting in to keep up with him.

He wasn't moving towards the Nomu attack. He appeared to be looking for someone, and at some point, you could almost hear something like a name being called out.

You squeeze yourself through the fire-escape railing, then leap unto a window sill and pull yourself up with the momentum. Swiftly tracing the edge of the terrace, you lookout again to see where he's going...

When the vibrant flash of his power disappears into a narrow alley, your heart sinks.

I've come so far, I can't lose him now..

You leap for a power wire and pad across it, using the thin soles of your boots to curl your feet and keep balance. It allows you to cover some good ground, but it doesn't feel like it's enough. Your eyes scan the horizon, waiting for the verdant flash to return; but it doesn't. And then you hear yelling.

The way the mixture of voices bounce through the walls of the city makes the speech unintelligible--but you could recognize Midoriya's among them. Following it is the sound of metal grinding against stone.

He's fighting..

It couldn't be a Nomu, there wasn't near enough screaming and roaring and the buildings were remaining intact. Who--

You can hear the News jingle in the back of your head, and the headline rolls across your vision again. Stain..? That's ridiculous..

But was it? He was in the city. It wasn't his style to cut a random down, but if Midoriya were to see him...

It seemed almost impossible that the timid boy you had met would be capable of so much. Yet, as you pushed yourself to keep running in his direction--another voice in your mind told you different. You had picked him to be your target for espionage for a reason. He had a good heart.

If he saw someone in trouble, you knew he would stop.

And considering who his likely opponent was... were you willing to risk your mission if he needed help?

Selfish. You chastise yourself, but it doesn't keep your limbs from moving. You had left the scene when the Nomu were attacking a whole ward of innocents, but the thought of seeing the boy you had known so briefly in peril made you want to rebel. I'm just as much a monster as the other agents..

You feel the temperature change before you see the amber glow of what you can only assume is fire in the alley below. You hunker down behind a roof access door, peering into the darkness--and you can see the contrasting colors of Todoroki's hair in the light of his fire attack.

Two of them..?! Did U.A. permit their students to run around looking for--no, three! The other one on the ground.. I remember him from the festival too!

When your eyes finally find the darker and much taller figure, your jaw sets.

It was Stain.

And damn it all, you wanted to be down there with them.

"Midoriya.. you need to give more details in times like this." Todoroki's voice cuts through flickering noise of the flames on his left side, "I was almost too late to stop this guy."

"You too Todoroki?" The other student on the ground, Iida, voices--and despite your lack of knowledge about the larger student, the fact he was talking was a relief. From the blood pooling at his shoulders, he wasn't looking good.

"How'd you get here?...Hold on, you're using your left side?" Midoriya seems to struggle in his awkward position. Was he stuck..?

"How'd I get here? Good question. Your message took me a while to figure out. Next time, try to send more than just your specific location. But you're not really one to send cryptic messages without a reason are you?"

As Todoroki spoke, there's a smile growing behind your mask. He found a way to call in backup. Midoriya was more than just a timid boy.

Ice splinters through the alley and races towards Stain's feet, but he's already in the air. The ice carries the body of another, a pro-hero, and the two paralyzed classmates; to slide them back and away from Stain, behind Todoroki. "So I figured you were in trouble and asking for help. Everything's okay, the pro-hero's will be here any minute."

Stain grips the sill of a window to keep his feet from the ground, but Todoroki continues his assault with another ranged torrent of fire. The death hungry fanatic leaps again, putting more distance between them. Smart tactic on Todoroki's part.. You muse, still hidden in the shadow and looking down from above.

"You're exactly what they said you were.. But you won't be taking any more lives, Hero Killer." Arm still aflame, the student widens his stance and prepares for attack.

"Todoroki! You can't let that guy get your blood, I.. I think he controls his enemies actions by swallowing it, that's how he got us!" Confirming your assessment, Midoriya was paralyzed. Lucky though, you supposed, that they could still speak.

"He ingests blood to keep people from moving.. That explains the blades. All I gotta do is keep my distance--"

You almost lurch forward as you watch Stain remove a blade from his belt and sends his blade for the sky and the smaller one straight at them--easily slicing into Todoroki's cheek mid-sentence. You grip the edge of the wall, forcing yourself to remain still.

You can't interfere...!

"You have good friends Ingenium..or you did!" Stain moves like predator, stream-lining down the alley and coming at Todoroki with a raised and gnarly blade--but the U.A. student is quick to form a small spire of ice to thwart him. Looking up, he just notices the larger blade now descending to his position.

Things are moving too fast, but you watch Stain grab for him right before Todoroki releases another small torrent of fire--pushing Stain away from him.

You let yourself breathe.

----

Being an assassin, you were intrigued by this style of fighting. The Hero Killer was being.. surprisingly less cut-throat than you expected. While heroes and villains would have these 'duals' as a form of honorific fighting, you realize that despite Stain's assassin like movements, his manifestos about creating a stronger society went deeper than words and excuses.

He was testing them.

Midoriya moves like a rocket, bouncing off the walls at random trajectories--almost faster than you can keep up with--and the fighting starts all over again; much faster, and far more desperate than before. The alley glows with fire, the leftover peaks of ice reflecting the light and causing you to inch backwards as it shines on your hiding place.

Why am I still here..?  You were wasting your time. The League could have left by now, leaving you with almost no information to carry over to your superior. You were too worried over your selfish obsession with these future-hero kids to keep your head on straight..

Despite the inner monologue, you can't force yourself to move. Instead you keep hearing your older foster brother's voice in your head. Over and over, as he's talking about being a hero or fighting for you or coming up with a plan to make you a hero too.

"You want to make your brother proud," Todoroki's words pierce the fog of your uncertainty, even though they weren't meant for you. He was obviously talking to his classmate, still on the ground. All too quickly, you realize Midoriya has become paralyzed again--and Stain was gaining far too much ground in Todoroki's direction. "Then stand up and be Ingenium.. become the hero he wanted you to be!"

He releases another torrent of fire, but Stain has become familiar with Todoroki's technique. He slides under, whipping around and using the student's emotional confrontation with his classmate to his advantage.

You realize--if he manages to get just close enough--Stain would paralyze his remaining opponent.. and this would all be over.

Unacceptable.

Without thinking, you step out--the knife was already unsheathed, and you throw it with a force you didn't even recognize as yours. It spins, arcing ahead of Stain's advancement to catch at his jawline--slicing through the wrinkles of his mad grin.

It's enough of a distraction as he watches the blade clatter against the ground for Todoroki to send him back with another burst of flame.

You find yourself at the edge of the roof, and all of their eyes gather at your location.

Well shit.

Stain slides back, and also takes in your form from over his shoulder. "Another distraction..? Why can't--" His expression evolves from annoyance to rage after he inspects your uniform. You realize now that the light enhancers were on in your mask--making the eyes glow cerulean. A tell-tale of your identity.

"Demon.." He murmurs, causing the students to hesitate.

"Another mindless killer. Here to ruin my plans..?" He growls, gripping the ragged swords with white knuckles.

What now..?

"I'm just enjoying the show." You answer casually, which only serves to piss him off  more. "It's funny to watch the famous Hero Killer getting his ass kicked by a couple of kids."

In your peripheral, you notice the classmate on the ground beginning to move--he's shaky, but with just a few more seconds...

You could distract him long enough to give the boys an advantage!

"Who are you?!" Midoriya's voice reverberates through the alley, but he's met with only your silence. The fear in his eyes causes your stomach to twist, and you stop yourself from looking at his classmates directly in case it might cause you to slip. I'm here to help you..

"A nobody assassin," Stain answers in your stead, "who kills without conviction, aside from a good price. Scum such as you are blemishes on society."

Wrong! You want to scream, and you feel your hands shake at your sides. To hide it, you cross your arms and tilt your head. "Big words from a guy whose losing."

"Tch," He gives you an evil smirk as his tendril-like tongue slips from his mouth, licking the wound on his jaw from your knife. It makes your spine crawl. "I'm just getting started." He moves, but unlike your predictions--he's moving for Todoroki again.

NO! He had used your distraction to his advantage!

Moving like a languid jaguar through the spires of ice, he comes in low with his jagged blade beneath Todoroki's lifted arm--but he's thwarted by Iida.

"RECIPRO BUURST!"

The loud whirring of an engine follows the larger classmate as he intercepts the blade with blinding speed, and uses the propulsion from his calves to kick Stain away.

"Iida!" Midoriya yells, still paralyzed in place. You use the moment to slip back into the shadows; but you couldn't remain long.

Just.. just a bit longer. Until I know they can handle it..

----

"No, he's completely correct. I have no right to call myself a hero. At all."

Iida's words had stung.

How many times had you caught yourself saying the same thing?

Was the whole reason for your life to avenge your foster brother? Where you no better, truly, than the villains you always denied being similar to?

...Or, were you simply afraid of the idea that someone would risk their life to save you again?

"Even so, there's no way I can back down. If I give up now, then the name Ingenium will die!"

Your breath catches in your throat. God  how you had rooted for him. For just a moment, you wanted to live vicariously through him. You wanted to see your redemption through his actions.

When it all eventually came to an end, the U.A. students had been victorious.

Really, the whole fight had only lasted about ten minutes. But it felt like you had been sitting in that shadow for hours, hoping and praying and trying to stay still.

You were smiling as you ran. And you were crying.

Perhaps, just this one time, you weren't going to be mad at yourself about it.

You just wished you could tell Iida how much he inspired you.

----

Midoriya looks back over his shoulder--to the ledge where he had last seen you.

"I wonder where they went.." He says, eyes darting to the dark corners of their environment; wincing from the pain of his injuries.

"It appears they were only here by coincidence.." Todoroki follows his gaze, "But we'll need to inform the police. They might be involved with this somehow."

"Mm." Midoriya nods, and then they continue to exit the alley--with a tied up Hero Killer in-tow.

----

"What are ya sayin?"

Snipe's voice is hushed, even more so by the gas mask he always wore. But everyone heard it. The conference room was dead quiet.

"As we near the end of the internship period, we must evaluate all locations for field trips and training carefully, even within the school." Nezu's paws are upon the table over a stack of papers, some noted in surprisingly neat hand-writing; despite his shortened appendages. "It is unfortunate I say this, but All Might--when the students are to go on outings per their curriculum--you shall remain here."

All Might, or Toshinori rather, slumped heavily into his chair with his hands folded over his mouth. It certainly isn't the worst news.. After all, he could no longer exist in his powered up form for more than fifty-five minutes. Being present on a field trip would be limited anyway.

"As long as he stays here and we keep the locations secret from the public, then I believe things should progress as normal. We will have security detail assigned on field-trips, and all staff will be on high alert."

"Yessir." In unison, heads slightly bowed in towards the table.

"To answer your question.. Yes, I am saying that a resistance is rising. While we have good enough reason to believe these were amateurs, they were still capable of infiltrating the complex and isolating their targets. We can not allow that to happen again."

"Understood."

----

"You think this field trip is a good idea?" Aizawa has his hand wrapped around a mug as he asks the question to a bent Toshinori, who was getting some water for himself.

He sighs, "I don't know. But, so long as the Villains know I am here… that should stave their attention. They wouldn't be bold enough to attack the students as bait with so many pro-heroes around." He rises up, staring into his reflection on the chilled water. "…But I would be lying if I said I didn't have a bad feeling about it."

Not much of a talker, Aizawa just sips on his coffee and looks out the window.

The Industrial Park that the students were being taken to was, in his mind, a bit trivial. But Nezu was wise; he wanted the students to understand the full depth of the consequences when damaging the environment. While having pro-heroes like Cementoss could give construction companies an advantage--there was a lot of pipe-work and electrical-work involved that couldn't so easily be tossed together when repairing buildings.

He sighs, already imagining the bored and complaintive faces his students were going to make.

Maybe he should formulate a quiz for them so they're forced to pay attention...

----

When you return to the base, you're greeted with boxes and wires at your usual entrance.

Concerned, you bee-line for Head-Honcho's office--or his little sanctum, as he liked to call it. Through the concrete halls, there was a haze of cigarette smoke and you had to weave around the thicker muscled lackeys that carried heavy equipment.

Monitors. Cameras. Some.. mechanical devices you didn't know the name of.

Panic begins to rise in your chest.

The Hero Agency had called for a raid on the H.H. organization, and you had provided them with the plans that ensured their success--but right now, it looked like the organization was moving out.

That meant one of two things.

Either you were dead meat now, or you were going to be dead meat later.

Despite how obvious it seemed that Head-Honcho had seen through your betrayal, no one stops you. Not even the scanner that announces your arrival to his sanctum. And you stride in, like you had for years, and nothing seems out of place. At first.

"Yes, the plans are set. We're moving everything into position."

"Oh good. You better not fail me like the others.." Shigaraki's voice..?

"You have nothing to worry about. My agents ensure nothing but absolute success."

"We'll see about that." And a screen goes dark behind Head-Honcho's massive body. You can hear the creak of his metal apparatus around his shoulders as he turns to face you--features hidden in the combination of shadow and bright monitors.

"So, Demon.." He leans forward unto a desk, and you just catch the glint coming off of teeth in the arc of a smile.

"What information have you gathered from Hosu City?"
