Once the infirmary door closed, you all bid your goodbyes to Iida as he was to make his way to the arena, wanting to be prompt even if the arena was still getting fixed. You girls headed back to your seats when they both noticed you were quiet, not adding into their conversation. Uraraka glanced at Tsuyu, who tilted her head in response, before looking back at you.

“Ne, (y/n)? If you’re worried about Deku, I’m sure he’ll be fine with Recovery Girl to help! It’s scary yea, I’ll admit I’m pretty nervous… but I know he’ll definitely be okay!”

“Oh,” You looked up with mild surprise, “Ah, I mean, yea I’m worried but I know he’ll be fine. He’s a tough guy.”

“Then what are you thinking about, kero?”

“Well,” You sighed, “I guess I’m just a bit, uh, shaken up is all.”

“About your upcoming fight with Tokoyami?”

You just nodded your head with a grin, well, more of a grimace than anything. You were trying to remain positive, but in all reality you were still thinking about Todoroki. About his father and the past you could only ever hope to guess. About your mother and the past you could only ever hope to forget.

You subconsciously touch the scar you had gotten on your arm from the U.S.J attack.

The only scarring you were proud to have.

You hadn’t thought about her in a long while, at least not active thoughts. Your dreams at night were more than enough, you hated thinking about it any more than that.

“Well don’t worry, Tokoyami may be strong but so are you! I believe in you!” Ochako punched the air, crying out in triumph.

“Yea.” you tried to cheer along with her, hoping to push all negativity to the back of your mind.

Once you reached your seats, there were a flurry of questions asking about Midoriya. You let the girls answer them while you sat quietly in your seat, trying to focus on the battle ahead, trying to think of any strategy you could possibly try.

You sat in your spot for a few more moments before you couldn’t sit any longer, you were itching to move, to do something other than wallow. So even before the announcement of Iida’s battle, you were making your way away from the stands.

“(y/n)? Where are you going?” You glanced at Kirishima, who was giving you a confused look.

“I’m up next after Iida. Going to prepare, I suppose.” You looked away, choosing to stare at the ground instead of his eyes.

It was silent for a moment before he spoke up, worry laced in his tone.

“Oh well, good luck-”

“You don’t fucking need to be such a defeatist, you're overthinking shit.”

You glanced at Bakugou as he made his outburst, assuming he was talking about your fight with Tokoyami. Yet, the way his eyes stared intently into yours, you kind of wished he knew your pain and those words were for that alone.

“Bakugou that’s-” Kirishima started till Bakugou glared at him.

“What? It’s true isn’t it.”

You felt everyone staring at you because of the outburst and internally sighed, your walls were cracking slowly and you didn't need them knowing.

“He’s right, I am overthinking it. I’ll be fine. Thank you guys.” You gave a small smile before walking away.

Bakugou felt his eyes narrow at your departing figure, peeved that you were worried about your fight. He was taking a gamble, but if he were to guess, you would be the best person to go up against him, your quirk being the weakness of his. He wasn’t 100% percent certain, but based on the way he saw the bird flinch back from his explosion-along with the way his eyes widened in fear, he was certain it had something to do with the light. The sooner you figured that out, the better.

You heard the announcement for Iida’s battle commence as you walked through the hallways, it being quiet enough for you to stay in your thoughts. If that was a good thing however, you weren’t sure, all you knew is the last thing you needed right now was to do nothing.

The sound of footsteps made you glance up, to see someone turn the corner.

Scratch that, the last thing you needed was to see was Endeavor walking towards you.

Your face morphed into one of distaste, along with your body tensing at the sight of the large man. He was large, not as big as AllMight but most definitely a force to be reckoned with. You had seen him on T.V. loads of times, but never in person. As soon as his cold blue eyes locked on you, you wanted nothing more than to rip him a new one.

“Ah, it’s you.” His voice was deep and rich, booming in the ways of demanding respect.

Alas, you could not find a single one to give.

“Endeavor.” You spoke back, trying to walk around him till he held out a hand to stop you.

You paused, a bit of fear pulsed through your body before you pushed it away. Now was not the time to feel scared, you needed to let him know-even if it wasn’t spoken-that you resented him as a hero, as a father.

“You’re Best Jeanist’s daughter. A strong quirk indeed, plenty you can do with it if you are training it correctly.”

“Thank you..” You responded cautiously, not knowing his motives for such a conversation.

“I see you must know my son well enough to be able to speak to him while he was in the midst of battle, he seemed to listen well.”

Ah, of course it was about Shoto and his quirk.

“Well enough to know his circumstance yes.” You glared up at his, hands clenched by your sides.

Endeavors stare was no easy feat to keep, it being the opposite of his quirk as chills threatened to run down your spin.

“What you may or may not know is none of your concern. However, it seems beneficial to have you near him, I have seen the interactions between the both of you and I say it’s not a bad idea. The good thing to do here is to push Shoto to know that he will be stronger once he embraces his fire-”

“Whether or not he wants to use his fire is ‘none of my concern’, as it should be none of yours.”

“Excuse me.”

You sucked in a quirk breath, saying screw it to manners. This man is no father to be respected.

“Todoroki is his own person, one you can’t control like a damn puppet on a string. The sooner you realize that the better. Now if you’ll excuse me sir, I have a match to win.”

You stormed off, and you couldn’t tell if the noise in your ears was the crackling of the fire surrounding his body, or the deafening sound of your rising anger.

Once far away enough, you calmed down enough to groan out in frustration. You knew what you did was right, but at the same time you wish you would have kept your mouth shut. It probably wasn’t the best idea to upset the number two pro hero.

You heard the crowd cheering as you heard Midnight over the announcements, your heart beating fast at the news that Iida had already won.

“That fast huh?”

You headed towards the arena, passing by Iida as you did,

“Hey Iida, good job on the speedy win!”

He grinned at you, marching up with an ecstatic look.

“Thank you! I hope your battle will be just as swift!”

“In my favor I hope.” You chuckle, rubbing the back of your head trying to calm the nerves that were forcing their way back up.

“I believe you will do great, Hakamata!” He smiled at you, and you couldn’t help but smile back.

It was nice to see Iida being more relaxed.

“Thanks, maybe we’ll be battling for each other at the top huh?”

“One can only hope for the best!”

You laughed as did he before parting ways, walking out on the field.

Just like the first time, the crowd was loud and the area bright. Tokoyami was already there, heading to his side as you did to yours.

“Now it’s time for our next match! This guy left you stunned as he finished his first battle quickly, Fumikage Tokoyami! Vs! The crowd favorite who has been killing it in these rounds, (y/n) Hakamata! A battle to remember, who will win, this dark knight or this light princess!?”

You could only stare at your opponent as he stared back, waiting for the match to start. You clenched and unclenched your hands, preparing for the inevitable as you lowered your body into a defensive position. You wanted him to think you were going to that role immediately, you wanted him to leave his defenses down.

“Let the next match, BEGIN!”

“Go, Dark Shadow!”

You saw dark shadow rush you, so you quickly forced yourself towards him, your quirk giving you a boost. Jumping high into the air, you allowed the light to form almost what could be considered a pole from your hands, before hardening it and smacking down onto dark shadow. You heard a slight hiss coming from dark shadow as you sent more beams off at him, using the motion from the first hit to once again send you off in the air. The best thing was to take down Tokoyami at the source, that being himself. With how powerful his quirk is, and how little you know about any of his weaknesses, you needed to get this match over with quickly.

A prolonged battle could have too many unforeseen consequences.

“Grab her Dark Shadow!”

You gasped out as you felt claws digging into the back of your jacket, spinning around just in time to encase your leg in hardened light before slamming onto him as hard as you could. Seeing Dark Shadows eyes close before he flinched away from the brightness caught you by surprise. He dropped you on the ground, and you quickly rolled away before bouncing up, sending off more beams to keep them at bay. Your jacket was torn so you tossed it off, the cool air hitting your sweaty skin felt nice. That top was way too suffocating for your tastes anyways.

Charging at you once more, you knew you had to try out whatever it was you saw. You played cat and mouse for a while, just like you had done with Mina, but this was way more difficult. Tokoyami must have been getting frantic, since he had Dark Shadow trying to slam into you every two seconds. Even though you saw a flinch every time your light was near Dark Shadow, it wasn’t enough to have him stop.

Dark Shadow lunged and you went to dodge, but he had clipped your shoulder and you almost fell back, trying to right yourself out before another attack. You had slid back close to the edge and felt your heart pound as you knew Dark Shadow would smack into you before you had the chance to move.

“Full Body Light!”

Your body heated up rapidly as you began to emit a bright light. This move was one you never really liked to use, you hated using this move because it brought back terrible reminders, but you understood you couldn’t dwell on the past if you wanted to succeed as your own hero. Like you had told Endeavor, you knew you needed to take your own advice, ‘the sooner you realize it, the better’.

Dark Shadow let out a cry before shrinking back, shielding his face away from the brightness you admitted. Full Body Light, while you weren’t able to run any faster, was almost the same as your light speed. You quickly rush at him, causing Tokoyami to stagger back and fall while Dark Shadow coward away. Your breathing was heavy as you towered over him, the only downside of this move was that you were unable to control the heat you let off and because of that the air around you was blistering. You pinned him down by his shirt, avoiding touching him directly because you didn’t want to burn him. You were trying to force yourself to tone the heat down, but you could tell it wasn’t working you noticed the singe marks forming on his uniform.

He kept his eyes shut tight as you were blinding him, the heat also causing heavy discomfort that he just wanted to be away from. He knew anyways that there was no way to continue fighting while you did this, so he grunted out in defeat.

“I give up.”

“Tokoyami forfeits! Hakamata is the winner!” Midnight announced while pointing her whip at you.

You deactivated your quirk allowing Tokoyami to sit up. You were about to offer him your hand up when you realized you may still be too warm to touch him.

“S-sorry, I’d help you up but I don’t wanna burn you.”

“It’s alright, I understand. We did our utmost best and I congratulate you on your win.” He stood and bowed at you.

“WHAT A MATCH INDEED! Sorry folks, we didn’t know we were supposed to inform you to bring sunglasses! With that, Hakamata moves on to the next round!”

You bowed back at Tokoyami as you both walked off the arena, you stopped right at the entrance, away from prying eyes and leaned against the wall.

“Are you alright?” Tokoyami asked with concern.

You were shaking, sweat dripping off of you while your body sizzled and smoked at the contact. You waved a hand to dismiss your classmates' concern, grabbing the collar of your undershirt to fan your face.

“Yeah.. It’s just hot.”

“Is there anything I can-”

“(y/n)!”

You both turn to see Kirishima jogging over, waving a large bottle of water in the air.

“Thought you might need this! What a move, I’ve never seen that before,” He handed you the water before looking at Tokoyami, “Hey you did super well too, dude! It was a manly battle!”

“Thank you. Now that Hakamata is in good hands, I best be going.” He nodded at both of you before walking away.

You were chugging the water greedily, leaving a tiny bit at the bottom to splash along your face before crushing it once it was empty.

“Thank Eijiro, this is enough to get me by till I can get some more.” You smiled at his generosity.

“Of course! I remember how smoky you get when you pull moves like that-but that was really cool to see! Such a flashy move, literally! I had to close my eyes at how bright you were.”

You shyly rubbed the back of your head, an embarrassed chuckle leaving your lips.

“Sorry, I’m not really used to controlling it.”

“Don’t be! Just know, when we go up against each other that it will take a lot more than that to beat me!” He pointed a thumb towards his chest, a giant grin on his face.

You nodded in agreement.

“Looking forward to it, so you better give it your all, good luck!.”

“Always!”

You laughed along with him, until a gruff voice broke through.

“Glad to see your focused on the match, shitty hair.”

Bakugou stood with his arms in his pockets, a scowl on his face at the sight of you two. You grinned and waved, ignoring the grumpy look.

“Hey Bakugou, good luck to you too. I should get going, I need more water anyways, my body is still too warm. I’ll be watching!”

You smiled at them both before taking your leave, hearing Kirishima’s loud goodbyes and Bakugou’s huffs made you smile once more until you were out of sight. You stopped by one of the rooms to pick up a new uniform jacket, along with another water bottle before going back to the bleachers.

You were pushing the feeling of excitement to the surface, and all of your negativity to the back of your mind. Thinking back to Eijiro’s words, you agreed; this was a good move. A great one in fact, one that you shouldn’t be scared to master.

So, you were going to stop letting the fear control you, and hopefully you won't be afraid of her anymore.
