You yawned, slowly looking around the hotel room feeling lethargic. You let out a slow stretch as you rolled over onto your other side starting at the television. Your eyes puffy from crying and your head throbbed in pain.
Emotions were gross.
All Might had left to go to his meeting, leaving you all alone with your irritating racing thoughts. All Might really wanted to become your...father.
You sat up, that was a strange concept for you. Your biological father sold you off when you were just a kid, your mother was glad to see you go, that meant she could get away from him. Ever since then...the thought of family really didn't mean much to you...could that possibly change now?
You licked your dry lips as you heard your phone ding.
That was odd.
The only phone numbers you had were your classmates, and they should all be at their internships unable to be on their phones. You lazily reached for the cell phone lying on the table next to the hotel bed. You scratched your shoulder seeing it was from Midoriya, you tilted your head seeing it was just his location. You only knew this because of Bakugo who rudely taught you how to do this.
You shot him a text, asking him what the random message was about but when he didn't reply after a couple of seconds you sat up getting a sour feeling in your gut.
You called All Might who wasn't picking up, probably in a meeting or something. All Might has a lot of business meetings he had to attend, he made being a pro-hero look almost boring.
"Hm." You pulled your lips into a thin line, wondering what you should do.
----
You looked around the starry night street, the air was chilled as you shoved your hand in your pocket looking for warmth while the other held your phone as you followed the GPS to the location Midoriya had sent. You modernly knew him, he wasn't the type to randomly send locations like this, or not reply.
You rounded the corner and followed what felt like a maze leading down into a dark area. The darker it got the more the air on the back of your neck rose, something wasn't right. Every fiber of common sense you held was screaming at you to turn around and go find a pro-hero to deal with this mess.
Lurking around in the creepy shadows buildings cast was not your job anymore.
A loud BOOM rocked the sleeping buildings around you, setting you off into a sprint by pure reflex. Once you rounded the next corner you came face to face with the cause of the commotion.
You reached out without thinking, shooting ice forward, blocking a man from striking down Shoto who was about to slice off his left arm.
"What?" Shoto breathed shocked turning his head, "(y/n)?"
"What are you doing here!?" Midoriya breathed, his eyes wide as he looked paralyzed on the ground. Under different circumstances, that would have been funny. "You have to run!"
You turned from looking at your classmates to the man standing yards away glaring at you with odium swirling in his eyes.
"Chizome-?" You found yourself calling, your brows knitting together in confusion. The three heroes in training's eyes widened. "-you're this so-called hero killer?"
"(y/n)?" Ida, covered in fresh blood breathed struggling to move. "What are you doing here-?"
You raised your hand, revealing your cell phone with Midoriya's location.
"Figured something was going on." You replied, positing yourself to stand beside Shoto.
"You came just in time." Shoto muttered, glancing from you then to the Hero Killer.
"(y/n) (l/n)" Stain smirked standing upright, resting his blade by his side. "So nice to see your alive after all this time."
"Wish I could say the same." You replied with a casual side nod of your head.
"You-You know each other!?" Midoriya continued to struggle to move.
"You could say that." You answered, glancing over to the green-haired mop. "It's pretty useless to try moving."
"What?" Midoriya asked his eyes soaked you in.
"I assume you can't move due to 'Stain's' quirk."
"I-I think he uses blood-" Midoriya went to explain.
"Yeah, I know-" You cut in; "-I know all about his quirk."
"What is going on?" Shoto questioned, "How do you-"
"You should tuck and run little girl-" Stain sneered in your direction.
"Not gonna happen." You spat right back.
"This is a step down for you-" Stain mocked, tilting his head absorbing your famous expressionless face. "-are you trying to be a little hero too?"
"No-" You shook your head, "-you made sure of that."
"You could never beat me in our sessions-" Stain grinned at your shocked classmates faces. "-what makes you think you can take me down now?"
"I'm not nine anymore." You replied.
"(y-y/n)-" Midoriya struggled, "-you..." Midoriya's head was spinning, and his heart raced.
"Yeah." Your answer confirmed the fear growing in his chest. "I was trained by him, but that was a long time ago."
Stain launched himself forward, it was like he almost vanished from sight.
"(y/n!)" Shoto called, turning to you seeing Stain land right beside you. You ducked the first swing of his blade, and then the second but the third had you twisting your torso causing you to stumble.
Stain wrapped his fingers in your hair, pulling you backwards he rested his blade against your soft throat.
"What seems to be the problem?" He wondered, reaching his hand out roughly rubbing your ribs causing you to cry out in sharp pain.
"No!" Midoriya gasped,
"A little broken rib?" Stain deeply chuckled, "We both know you have had much worse, this is what's causing you to stumble?"
"Let go of her!" Shoto called,
"You have gone soft." Stain said, staring deeply into your eyes. He slowly looked from you then to your classmates. "They have ruined all the work Shadow Jack and I have done."
"You sick fuck-" You choked out against the blade slicing your flesh, hot trails of blood dripped down your skin.
"They broke you." Stain gazed into your eyes. "You used to have the most beautiful devoid eyes, but now all I can see is life sparking inside them, it's disgusting-!"
You managed to get a grip on one of Stains' swords, you gripped it tightly and quickly whipped it forward. Stain bounced back, dropping you as he did so you straightened your body as you glared into him.
"(y/n)!" Shoto came running to your side. "Are you-!" Shoto was cut off by you forcefully pushing him backwards, blocking Stains sword with your stolen one. Shoto watched with wide eyes as the two of you danced off in a battle of the fastest.
You spun on your heel, dodging Stain's blade, bringing yours upward you managed to slice his arm, he growled backing up.
"(Y/n)-" Shoto called again.
"I will cleanse this world-"
"What the hell are you going on about!?" You snapped, holding a hand to your bleeding neck, luckily the cut wasn't too deep.
"Join me-" Stain called out, "-together we can open this worlds eyes to the ignorant people who are destroying this world!"
"Oh, that's rich coming from you!" You darkly laughed. "Who the hell gave you permission to judge others so freely?"
"I will clean the sickness that has infected society-!"
"You're a fundamentalist lunatic." Shoto stepped forward.
"Someone must teach you a lesson!" Stain wailed.
"And that someone is you!?" You laughed harder, "Who the hell are you to judge anyone? Your worse than the scum in this alleyway!"
"(y/n)-!" Ida harshly whispered, wishing you would just shut up!
"You knew what Shadow Jack was doing with us." You stepped forward, eyes glowing with rage. Shoto and Midoriya were taken back, never having seen such anger inside you before. "You left us there-!" You yelled at Stain pointing the blade; "-you knew that psycho would kill us-!"
"No." Stain said, "I knew you would survive-"
"I was a kid!" You riposted back, "I didn't need to survive I needed to be saved! You left Shiro, Gray and me with that sicko to die! You watched as he held Kane down and tore off each of his limps trying to force me to kill innocent people!"
Your three classmates were stunned, eyes wide and stomach sour hearing more of your past come to light.
"You go on about frauds, you're the biggest fucking hypocrite-!"
"Shut up!"
"To do that, your gonna have to do what Shadow Jack couldn't-" You pointed your blade towards him, "-and kill me."
Stain let out a low animalistic growl from deep in his throat as he shot forward like a bullet from a gun. You glanced back at Shoto; his eyes widened as he looked at you. Did you feel he were his equal and would have your back?
As Stain attacked you, Shoto jumped in making it two against one.
Shoto used his ice quirk making it hard for Stain to stay on the ground for a long period of time. Shoto was able to recognize where your weak spots were, your left side where your rib was broken. When you dodged Stain, who was locked onto you, Shoto attacked on your behalf.
The two of you hadn't talked much since the sports festival, but in this moment the two of you acted as one and fought alongside each other like you had done it every day before.
Shoto was kicked backwards in the chest, Stain was quickly closing in on you. Sweat coated your body as the cool breeze offered relief on your burning skin. You panted watching Stain running towards you.
"Ah!" Midoriya rushed in, his leg coated in blood as he kicked Stain upward away from you.
"He is getting desperate." Midoriya breathed turning to you,
"Yeah." You nodded, noticing Midoriya can move now, he must have type O blood.
"He is trying to get rid of Ida and that other hero before the pros show up." Midoriya breathed clearly in pain with his leg.
Shoto was blasting Stain with his fire quirk as Ida slowly stood to his feet.
"Why won't you stay down!?" Stain screamed showing clearly how unhinged he was, shooting Ida with blades landing them into his arms.
"Ida!" Midoriya called struggling to use his leg.
"You-!" Stain locked his blood-filled eyes onto you. "-you deserve to die-!"
"Why-?" You countered holding a hand to your left side, feeling your knees shaking with exhaustion as hunger racked your stomach. "-because I shoved the truth down your throat, and you don't like the taste of it!? You can kill me but that isn't going to erase the past!"
"It's a start!" Stain growled, jumping towards you. You watched him run towards you, blade raised ready to spill your blood and finally end your fight.
Your mind flashed to Shiro and Gray, you prayed they would be ok, the last person to scurry across your mind surprised you. His blaring red eyes and ash blond hair filled your sight, you could almost hear him screaming at you to keep going.
"NO!" Ida screamed, catapulting forward with his engine quirk.
"What?" Stain's eyes widened as Ida slammed into him like a linebacker, shooting him upward into the air. You felt a shock on your face as you watched Ida go after him.
"You will not touch her!" Midoriya shirked, flying passed you after Stain and Ida.
"If I can just..." Ida and Midoriya grunted,
"...use my arms-!"
"...use my legs-!"
"Go get him guys." Shoto smiled, reaching your side just in time for your legs to give out.
"-we can beat this guy!"
