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

Chapter 8 - The UA Sports Festival

Her arm turns green again, before slowly cancelling out. She collects her Quirk in her palm instead, and then onto her fingers, creating tiny balls of light, the size of marbles. She takes a sharp intake of breath as the light slowly lifts off her fingers, before floating in the air before her very eyes.

This is new.

She isn't even aware that she's even doing something. Her mind is so scrambled with thoughts about that day, that it's all she can think about. The villains. All Might. Kirishima and Bakugou. He actually had the warp villain, Kurogiri, hostage. If she hadn't stood there, frozen like an idiot... She should have helped keep him there. Then the villains really would have been screwed.

The orbs start to glow hotter and hotter, slowly turning a blistering white, instead of their usual calm green. They even begin to vibrate, the intensity of them hovering in the air, when suddenly, they burst, exploding in the air with a tiny fizz. Their remains drift to the floor in tiny flecks, like dust.

Kira stares at the spot where they once were. "Well, that was anticlimactic."

Everyone's at school the next day. Kira would have thought they'd give the students more time to recover, and maybe for the school and its teachers to form some kind of plan to keep the school safe. Still, hero work waits for no one.

"Did you see the news last night?" Hagakure beams, facing Ojiro. "Though I doubt anybody noticed me."

"Well, you are pretty difficult to spot when you're just a pair of gloves," Ojiro replies.

Kira takes her seat beside Kirishima as he and Kaminari join the conversation.

"Yeah, those news channels love us," Kaminari says, leaning back in his seat. "We're practically celebrities."

"It's crazy, right?" Kirishima adds.

"Get over yourselves," Kyoka Jiro sighs, fiddling with her earphone jack. "The hero course was attacked - that's all the news cares about."

"I don't wanna think about what would have happened if the teacher's hadn't turned up," Kira says quietly, placing her bag on her desk.

"Why would you say that!?" Mineta screeches suddenly, having been eavesdropping, climbing onto his desk. "I'm gonna pee myself just thinking about it!"

"Oh, shut up, you idiot!" Bakugou yells from the front. "Grow a damn pair!"

"Everyone settle down and take your seats!" Iida orders, as he rushes to the front of the class. "Homeroom is about to begin!"

The class stares at their class rep for a second.

"You're the only one not in your seat, man," Kirishima says finally and Iida sinks back to his seat.

Kira stares up at the clock above the door. "I wonder who our teacher's gonna be."

"Aizawa's still in the hospital recovering from his injuries," Kirishima says, following her eyesight to the clock. "So, I've got no idea who it could be."

Suddenly, the classroom door slides open and... Mr Aizawa steps through, head to toe in bandages. His arms are strapped in front of him and his eyes have only a small gap so he can see.

"Mr Aizawa!" The class shout.

"Sir, are you even okay enough to teach us?" Mina stands up at her desk.

"My wellbeing isn't important right now," he whispers, his voice muffled by the bandages. "What's more important is that your fight isn't over yet."

"Surely, there are no more villains," Kira says so only she and the few around her can hear.
