? Benevolence ?

Chapter 28

At his words, I drop Bakugou's arm, suddenly self conscious. "Th-thank you..."

"I-I'M NOT SCARED! I'M FUCKING CALM, DAMN IT!" In sharp contrast to his words, he gently grabs my hand and places it on his arm again- another silent command. Stay together.

Dropping my head, I take a deep, shuddering breath and block out the conversations around us. We made it. We're alive. I'm startled from my thoughts when Bakugou tenses suddenly. All Might dropped a hand to his shoulder.

"Shigaraki! You underestimated these boys' spirits... The diligent investigation of the police... and... OUR FURY! NO MORE GAMES. IT ENDS HERE, TOMURA SHIGARAKI!"

"It ends here, you say?" I wince at the tone of his voice, it sounded... playful almost.

"Don't make me laugh... We've only just gotten started. Justice, peace... this rubbish heap society capped by such vague concept... I will destroy it... and I'll start by removing the cap that is All Might. This is just the beginning!"

The pros quickly take over the situation, incapacitating the mist guy and taking stock of the criminals in the room.

"Where exactly is that boss of yours?"

As if suddenly realizing he was at the heroes mercy, Shigaraki began to mutter frantically.

"Nonsense... this... this... not.. like this... get out of my sight! Vanish!"

Almost subconsciously, Bakugou moves to put himself in front of me, hackles raised.

"WHERE IS HE RIGHT NOW SHIGARAKI?!!"

"I HATE YOU!"

Abruptly, black sludge bursts from the air on either side of the frantic man, two Nomus clawing their way out. All around us, Nomus are appearing similarly out of thin air. The room quickly becomes overrun with chaos.

Raw, unfiltered panic crashes over me. We're so dead. I cling to Bakugou's arm, frozen in place then- he gags violently. Dropping to his knees, the same black sludge erupts from his mouth.

"B-Bakugou!"

"BAKUGOU, MY BOY!!"

Collapsing to the ground with him, he's suddenly gone. Only the sludge remains in his place. Covering the ground, staining my hands...

"NOOOOO!" All Might reaches for him, far too late.

I struggle to catch my breath but it seems my ability to breath vanished with him. Pushing myself off the ground shakily, I watch as the villains are being covered with the same sludge and disappearing with him.

As Shigaraki escapes, All Might lunges towards him. "YOU BASTARD- TAKE ME WITH YOU!!"

The chaos around me quickly becomes overwhelming and before I know it, I'm gone. Racing out the door, popping around pros and Nomus alike, I keep going until I'm surrounded by silence.

I find myself in a random alleyway, unsure of how far I ran. Fear is still coursing through my veins as I knock into the wall and struggle to calm down. Choked sobs wrack my body and everything fades around me. For a moment, I see Bakugou clearly in my mind.

Then my quirk activates.

Air is sucked from my lungs before my feet hit the ground, knees buckling at the sudden impact. A sharp pain flashes through my mind. I distantly hear a muffled gasp as fall against someone. Through teary eyes, I see Bakugou's dumbfounded expression.

"[L/n]-? What the fuck?!"

"Ba-bakugou...?"

The world comes back in fragments and I catch a glimpse of Kirishima's concerned face over the blond's shoulder. I furrow my brow, confused.

"...wha- Kiri...? I don't- where...?"

Pulling me upright, Bakugou interrupts me. "[L/n]! Wait... how the fuck did you get here?"

"I- I was... uh you were gone and the Nomus- I ran but then I remembered you...? I... I don't know... I'm sorr-"

I'm cut off as he shakes his head quickly, snatching my hand. "Why the hell are you apologizing?! Just... shut up! We're somewhere pretty fuckin' far from the first place so- just follow me, okay?"

I nod dumbly before I'm pulled into a crowd. Kirishima goes ahead of us, leading the way. We walk for a moment before we stop in front of a train station and I catch sight of Midoriya and Iida talking.

"Yo, Deku! Look who fuckin' popped out of nowhere..." When they turn, he gestures to me vaguely.

"[L/n]?!"
