2. And there he was

And there he was. Todoroki Shouto, being beat on the hard, cold floor by three men; blood pouring from seemingly every inch of his body.

"Mo...mo..." he managed to choke out.

Yaoyorozu dropped her bag; spilling it's contents onto the concrete. She screamed his name. The men sharply turned towards her.

They mumbled something under their breath and grinned. One of the members sauntered over to her and smirked.

"Hey sweetheart," he uttered in a sweet tone. "You're a pretty one ain't ya?"

"D-do...n't...y-you d-da...re...to..uch...h-her."

The man turned to Todoroki.

"What was that?" he said in an indignant tone.

One of the other members grabbed Todoroki by his hair and ragged it upwards so Shouto could face the male.

The man walked away from a frozen Yaoyorozu and towards the injured teen.

"I said," he repeated himself, " What."

With each word, he took a step forward; getting closer to Todoroki. Momo needed to do something, quick.

"Did."

Without doing anything, her quirk suddenly activated. It created a slender metal pole. She glanced at the man and back at the beam. No...it would be too risky.

"You!" 

She had to. For Todoroki.

"SA-"

Without thinking, she rushed towards the man, pole at the ready. Yaoyorozu screamed and hit him around the base of his skull.

He collapsed.

Did she just kill someone?

Before she could do anything, she was tackled and pinned to the wall; dropping the beam in the process. Momo hit the wall hard and spluttered. She looked into the criminals eyes.

"Shame," he tutted, "You were a cute one too..."

The extra behind him spoke up.

"And here I thought we could have some fun."

"Maybe we still can~" he said while licking his lips.

The offender leaned forcefully towards Momo. She squirmed and writhed, but he was much stronger than her.

Just as things seemed like it was over for her, a blaring hurl of smouldering flames came hurdling towards him. It lit him aflame instantly.

He screamed in agony, letting go of Yaoyorozu and falling to the ground. She looked behind him and saw Todoroki standing; bent over his stomach wound.

The other male tackled Shouto to the ground, earning another scream from Momo. She rushed over to help her injured classmate but was pushed forcefully away from him by the man.

No matter how many times she tried, Momo wouldn't give up. Todoroki begged her to stop, but she wouldn't listen.

She needed to do this for him.

The criminal soon got bored of Yaoyorozu and decided to do something about her. He stood up from his position on floor and grabbed Momo by her hair. The man slammed her to the ground; earning a scream from both her and Todoroki.

She laid on the floor, unable to move from her injuries. Yaoyorozu stared in horror as the man picked up a red tub of gasoline and unscrewed the lid.

'Oh my god...'

He then proceeded to drain its contents onto the floor surrounding the students. Momo looked into Todoroki's contrasting eyes. He stared back into her panicked grey ones.

The stranger got a worn match box out of his breast pocket and took out a small match. He swatting it against the striking surface, teasing them.

After what seemed like an eternity, he struck the match; setting it ablaze.

This was it. This is how they would die. Momo weakly moved her hand towards Todoroki's.

"I-I'm sorr-y... Sh-Shouto~"

Momo closed her eyes; preparing for the pain.

Suddenly, she heard sirens. Yaoyorozu flicked her eyes open to see red and blue flashing lights. She looked up to the criminal, who was staring in horror.

Police men and paramedics rushed out of the vehicles and towards them.

And out the corner of her eye, she could see that same crimson haired girl along side them

And with that in mind, Momo took a sigh of relief and passed out.
