I D I O T (Bakugou x Female Reader)

5 - Rubble

She smiles back, letting go of me "I can see why you didn't want to tell me your quirk, people must hate you after you use it. I'm not saying I do, I can just understand how they could" she said explaining.

I let out a little laugh "Ok bestie, let's head back to the tv room, ok?" I ask her approvingly, she nods in reply. Taking only a few steps out of the room, I hear Bakugou's explosions as the floor shakes slightly. "They're still fighting? We have to stop them!" I say, looking at her. She nods as we sprint down the stairs, finding the room they were in. "Bakugou stop!" I shout as he raises his hand for a final blast. "No way in hell I'll stop, this kid is getting what he deserves." he yelled back, preparing to fire.

"Izuku move!" Uraraka screams, unable to help him. Watching Bakugou, I activate my quirk quickly. Latching onto his mind took a millisecond more than usual due to the walls he had subconsciously, but it was easy from there.

His pupils shrunk as he fell to his knees, shaking. "Get back to the tv room, I can hold him" I said to Izuku and Uraraka "Izuku get to the nurse before you pass out, ok?" I say, giving him a thumbs up.

He nods his thanks, making his way out with Uraraka. I move my gaze back to Bakugou, I didn't have it on as bad as I did on Uraraka. I didnt want to suffer the consequences of that. "I'll kill you" I hear him grumble under his breath as he staraes at the floor. I didn't activate the hallucination part of my quirk, I just made him numb with fear, unable to move.

Noticing he was shivering, I release my quirk enough so he can hear me. I say "Hey, if you promise to not run off and hurt Izuku, I'll let you go, ok?" He seems to think about it slightly, before nodding his head.

I release my quirk fully, feeling the courage I had just built up dissipate as he moved quicker than I could see, slamming me against the wall, his hand to my throat.

"What are you-" I choked out the words, struggling to breath. He shouldn't have been able to recover that quickly I think to myself, pulling at his hands to let go. "You know what's funny?" He asks, making dead eye contact. "You ask for Izukus safety and not your own, I just find it amusing. Your just like the bastard" he said with a grimace as he squeezed harder.

My face was bright red, my hands scratchjmg at his hands as I became more desperate. Trying to use my quirk to stop him, I try to get back into his mind.

His hands grow hot, almost blistering my skin. I retract my quirk, lashing out with my foot and kick his stomach hard. Caught off guard, he kneels, loosening his grip on me. I gasp for air, knocking his hand away, I cough dryly, rubbing my neck.

"Sorry I saved you from expulsion for killing another student" I say sarcastically, looking at him. He looks right back, unsure whether to thank me or yell at me. Choosing the latter, he sats "Stop trying to play the hero pipsqueak, you are just as evil as your quirk. No wonder everyone here whispers about you, your a villian!" he yelled, catching you by surprise as you look away.

"Your right" you say quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. "Everyone whose come in contact with my quirk is hurt" I say, looking at my hands, "even my own family" I add. Curling my hands into fists I look at him, using my quirk to push away those thoughts, those fears. "But you know what? I came to this school to be a hero, and that's exactly what I plan to fucking do" I say, making eye contact to get the point across.

"But you know what? I came to this school to be a hero, and that's exactly what I plan to fucking do" she says, I could see her hands shaking as she walked away towards the tv room. She sounds like me I think to myself as I stand up, brushing the rubble and dust from my clothes.

Shaking my head, I to try and rid myself of the sensation. Walking back into the tv room, I get a stern talking to by All Might on how I went too far, and wasn't focused enough, etc etc. I tuned him out, my eyes drawn to the large crowd practically suffocating Asuna. Maybe I should help- NO I cut off my own thought. She can take care of herself, she's more than proved that. I reassure myself. "Are you listening to me Young Bakugou?" All Might says, realizing I wasn't watching him. "Yeah yeah" I say, making a "tch" noise as I turn my gaze back to him.

Stomping away from him, I kick a pebble, mumbling to myself. "Whatever, I don't care what he says, I'm not a villian, I can't be..." I trail off, looking at the ground as I enter the tv room, suddenly surrounded by the entirety of class 1-A, buzzing with questions.

"When did you get your quirk?"
"Is it unique from your parents?"
"Does it have to do with fear?"
"Did your dad give it to you?"
"Did you scare your parents when you were born? Hah!"
"Do you just scare people? I could do that!"
"Are you a monster?"

Raising my voice above the croud I say "No, I'm not a monster" they all fall silent, anxious for my answers. "I came to this school to be a hero, not a villian. No matter what anyone says" I say, glancing at Bakugou. "My quirk will NOT dictate my actions. I will become one of the best heroes ever and prove to everyone that I can't be all bad."

I end my bittersweet speach with a nod. All Might calls out the next team, everyone turns and goes back to their places in front of the TV's. I let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding in. I sit down on a chair facing the TV's, trying to relax.

A certain red haired male sits down next to me, worry coating his exoression. "So your quirk..-" he begins, but I cut him off "is fear manipulation, yes. I make people live out their worst fears" I say, watching the tv as the next team goes out. "That's so manly!" He exclaims, giving me his signature smile.

"What?" I ask, looking at him, my eyebrows raised in surprise. "You can make people run away or give up with a single look!" He says, watching the other people as he talks. "Some of us here need to use our physical bodies to even activate our quirks, but not you. It's all in your mind, if that's not powerful I don't know what is." He says confidently as he places his arms behind his head like a pillow.

He's right I think to myself, looking at everyone else. Everyone else has to move their body in one way or another to use your quirk, I can be still as a rock and still take down bad guys. However, based on what Bakugou said, I'll have to figure out a way to balance the scales by succeeding and being a hero. I think to myself, watching the tv again. I can do this. I know I can.
