MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 2

Shouta blinked and tried to concentrate despite the ringing in his ears. He looked over to see Emi on the ground beside him in a similar state, her pink dress smudged with soot. They looked over to where the explosion had come from to see a man and a woman in matching black vests striding out of a strip mall, duffle bags in hand. There wasn't any physical indication of either of their quirks, but Shouta was willing to bet that at least one of them had something to do with explosions. But he taught Bakugo, he could handle this.

Bakugo: Yeah you'd better hobo!

"Alright people!" One of the villains threw her duffle on the ground, revealing a fair bit of cash already inside. "Put your valuables in the bag, unless of course you'd like a repeat of what happened inside..."

Shouta felt his stomach sink. What had happened inside? Were there survivors? He glanced around, but didn't see any on duty heroes yet. Of all the days to leave his capture weapon at home! He glanced over at Emi, who nodded and activated her quirk. She wouldn't be able to aim it as accurately without her mask, so some civilians might end up with sore abs from watching the fight, but it was better than another explosion.

Joke: Okay note to self, always bring my mask with me...

Aizawa: I'm never leaving without my capture weapon again.

Aizawa was already charging forward by the time the villains burst into laughter. He made sure to keep both villains in his sight, since he didn't know which one had the explosion quirk, but he ran toward the woman first, since she appeared to be the one in charge. He managed to sweep her legs out from under her, making her cry out as she grabbed a ball from one of her pockets.

"Wrong choice." She giggled. She still somehow sounded threatening despite the effect Emi's quirk was having on her. "You should have just obeyed."

Mina: Well she can't use her quirk with sensei around!

She tossed the ball at him and her eyes widened as the ball bounced harmlessly away.

"Joke, this one has the explosion quirk! You take care of the other one."

Tsu: Do they look related to you guys too, ribbit?

Dabi: Kind of...

"Got it, Eraser!" He turned his back on the man and focused his attention on making sure the woman was out of commision. She had managed to get back to her feet, but Shouta was much better at hand-to-hand than she was and had her prone on the ground in no time. He straddled her back and extended her hands out on either side of her, holding her wrists down with her palms facing up so she couldn't touch anything and make it explosive. He made sure she couldn't get out before he let himself blink.

"Stop!" The man called from behind them and Shouta whipped around to see him holding a ball like the woman had, but this one was glowing purple. @*(&$, the villains had matching quirks, they must be related. "Let her get up, or the girl gets it!"

Everyone: Oh no!

All Might: Great a hostage situation.

He held the bomb threateningly toward Emi, who was glancing between the two cautiously. Shouta swore under his breath. He could just cancel the villain's quirk and the bomb would probably defuse itself, but there was always the possibility that the bomb would simply explode the moment that the villain lost control of it. With this many civilians around, he couldn't take that risk. From the look on Emi's face, she had come to the same conclusion.

Mitsuki: Got to get the bomb away.

Shouta watched out of the corner of his eyes as Emi reached for something in the pockets of her dress, before glancing at him, then up to the sky. He glanced at the male villain one last time before nodding and holding his hands up in surrender, "Alright..."
