Stuck With You | Katsuki Bakugou x OC [Book One]

Chapter 5 - Battles Against Class 1A Students

~~~

Five Years Ago

It was all over the news. Light Bringer had mercilessly and brutally fatally injured the villains. The same ones that murdered her father.

When it occurred on the news that a store had been robbed, Light Bringer didn't even hesitate in seeking out the suspects and when she found out who indeed was the murdered victim... she couldn't contain her anger.

It was all caught on camera, live on the news. Other heroes had to arrive on the scene and restrain her.

It's said that the villains will never wake up.

That's obviously part of the reason why she left in the first place.

Present Day

The only time she's seen anger nearly as close as that as when she saw Bakugou and Midoriya battle. Bakugou left his position to seek out Midoriya for his own personal vendetta. That's what cost him the match. Letting his own anger and grudges get in the way.

Everyone keeps their distance from Bakugou once he enters the monitoring room, terrified that anything at all could provoke the beast. He nearly killed Midoriya in his revenge. Is he even suitable to be a hero?

Kira isn't the one to judge. After all, ever since her father died, her mother's been distant, even before she left. She was reserved, yet snappy. Full of anger... and sadness. Their training had stopped shortly afterwards... Perhaps Bakugou has something going on in his personal life that is reflecting too badly on his school life.

One after another, the battles commence, until it's Kira's turn. A hand on her shoulder snaps her from her daze and she follows Kirishima and Sero to their battle zone. They're going up against Tokoyami and Asui. From what she knows, both of their Quirks are terribly unique. Asui is that of a frog, she's able to mimic most of their skills and properties. As for Tokoyami, Kira's only been able to spot his Quirk briefly at the physical exams. It's something menacing.

"Got a plan?" Kirishima asks once they've located themselves by the 'bomb.'

They're acting as the villains in this scenario.

"Me?" Kira squeaks, pointing a finger at herself.

"Yeah." He shrugs. "You were quick to think on your feet at the entrance exam. If it weren't for you... I don't know where Bakugou would be right now."

Kira stares down at her elbow again, still confused on how to excel her Quirk to its full extent.

"Kiriya?"

"Yeah." She sighs. "Okay. Sero?" He nods. "Tape up the area, all over the place." She uses her arms to demonstrate jagged angles. "Covering the whole area, so they can't get through. Then you stay right next to it. Don't move away from the bomb, even if we're in trouble."

"Right." He nods, already projecting tape from his elbows. "And you two?"

"We'll play the offensive," Kira decides, frowning slightly. "When they get nearby, we'll ambush them. I don't know much about Tokoyami's Quirk, but for Asui... she's bound to have quick reflexes. Make sure to focus on her first, seeing as we know more about her right now."

"I saw Tokoyami's Quirk up close," Sero yells from over by the bomb. "It's... big and scary."

That doesn't bode well. Kira puts a finger to her lips, silencing them instantly. She hears a faint patter that sounds similarly to how Asui leaps, like a frog. She closes her eyes and listens for Tokoyami, his deep voice splitting through the silence.
