"If you want me to listen then get on your knees and beg!"
Katsuki Bakugo's heart hammered like the energizer bunny's drum, keeping his stern face locked on his face he gazed around the room filled with villains who launched a full-scale attack on USJ.
The explosive blond swallowed a lump in his throat as the villains tried to talk him into turning over a new leaf and joining their cause. Katsuki spat in their face as he was restrained against a chair.
"Kurogiri-" Shigaraki's voice is raspy. "-compress him, put him back to sleep."
"Ugh-!" Mr. Compression groans, "-I can't believe he is such a bad audience member, it's almost impressive."
"Shigaraki!" A man in a black and white suit came running into the bar.
"What is it!?" Shigaraki instantly snapped craning his neck to glare at Twice.
"We have it."
"Oh-" Shigaraki's lips twitched upward, "-bring it here." Katsuki narrowed his crimson eyes, the villain seemed almost giddy.
"Right away-!" Twice sang, "-aw man! Why do I gotta do all the work!?"
Shigaraki turned to Mr. Compression.
"Release her." Shigaraki sternly ordered.
Katsuki watched with a confused expression as Mr. Compression pulled something from his jacket pocket, a shiny blue marble rested between his gloved fingers.
The orb let out a ghostly glow before quickly expanding into the shape of a human.
"What-!?" Katsuki's breath hitched, his lungs tied up watching you appear before Mr. Compression, your eyes slowly opening revealing a blurred sight. "-(y-y/n)!?" The air was knocked out of Katsuki, his heart pounded inside his ear canals as blood rushed to his face.
You blinked furrowing your brows taking a moment to catch up on what was happening, Spinner dashed forward while you were still shuffled in a daze, feeling uneased with being so near, he quickly locked a thick metal collar you knew all too well around your sensitive neck.
"That Shadow Jack sure is a smart man." Shigaraki gestured to the collar speaking to the villains inside the dimly lit room.
"What are you his fan boy or something?" You mocked, finally taking in the scene.
You glanced over to Katsuki, neither of you dare to say a word. You didn't want him to become a bargaining chip, you knew how those always ended up...
"Hm." Shigaraki sneered, his cracked lips slid over his teeth. "That's just like one of his puppets, always so stubborn even in the face of danger."
"I'm not a puppet." You lashed.
"Oh, but you are my dear-" Shigaraki spread his arms out like a pair of majestic wings, "-all you know how to do it follow orders, it's in your DNA, but that's ok! You simply lost your owner, you still have your strings, you just need a new handler is all."
"You really think this collar will keep you safe for long?"
"Keep us safe?" A golden eyed villain blinked.
"Why do you think Shadow Jack made them-?" You smirked glaring over to the blond girl holding two messy buns in her hair. "-he didn't make them as fashion statement."
"To keep you in line." Dabi guessed with a laxed shrug of his shoulders, causing a dark chuckle to roll off your tongue.
"Shadow Jack bred homemade killers-" You glared into the tall man whose fire quirk rivaled your own, "-he had to find some way to keep himself safe."
"Safe from what?"
"Us." A deep satisfied grin spread across your lips as you stared into Shigaraki's eyes.
"I see-" Shigaraki scratched at his neck, leaving burning red lines in their wake. "-that's why he locked you away."
"More or less-" You shrugged surveying your surroundings. "-mind telling me why you creeps kidnapped me? I have better things to do than hang out in some musty basement with a bunch of wannabes." Katsuki smirked, loving the fire that burned in your veins.
"Don't worry-" Spinner replied, "-we have plans for you-"
"Amazing-" You cut, "-how you think I give a fuck-!" You whip your hand upward, ice shot from your fingertips. Dabi jumped in the way of Twice and Spinner, his blue flames melting your weakened ice.
"What!?" Spinner hopped backwards behind Mr. Compression. "I-I thought she couldn't use her quirks!"
"Your face-" You chuckled amused, glaring into the lizard man, "-is fucking priceless."
"It seems those collars don't stop every quirk." Dabi muttered.
"You're quick to catch on." Your eyes glanced over to the scarred man; his flesh revealed the weakness his quirk gave him.
"Now-Now-" Shigaraki called, "-no rough housing, we don't want to burn the place down-"
"That would be an improvement-" You turned, only to freeze instantly locking onto Shigaraki's hand around Katsuki's smooth neck.
"In case you weren't aware-" Shigaraki spoke, tightening his grip around Katsuki's throat. "-we have a guest with us." You swallowed back the ball of emotion threatening to reveal itself.
"Yeah-" You replied, "-he looks about as thrilled as I am to be here."
"I'm sure you know him-" Shigaraki nodded towards the blond, "-he goes to UA high school, his name is becoming quite popular."
"You know that's like saying just because you're a villain you know every crook and jail bird in town." You bit, "No, I don't know the kid just because we go to the same school, asshat."
"Say, isn't that the same place you're playing house in?"
"Playing house?" You furrowed your brows.
"You're one of us (y/n) (l/n)." Shigaraki explained, "You don't belong in a place like UA-"
"I think I can be the judge of where I belong." You unintentionally snapped as you struggled to remove your eyes from Shigaraki's hand.
"Did someone order a special delivery!?" Twice rolled in with a large metal machine.
Upon seeing the delivery your stomach dropped into your lower abdomen. Your heart rate spiked; your lungs begged for air, but you forgot how to breathe.
"How did you get that?" Your wide eyes stared at the machine in disbelief.
"While it's true most of Shadow Jack's things were either destroyed or taken into custody by the police, his plans for this beauty weren't completely lost." Shigaraki explained, you felt your body internally cringe at the thought of being placed back inside that contraption of hell.
Shigaraki and you locked eyes.
For a split second everything froze. You could feel the dusty air slide across your arm.
"Get her." Shigaraki ordered, instantly throwing you into fight or flight mode. You struggled against Dabi, and Spinner as Twice opened the glass door.
"Ahh-!" You cried out as Shigaraki clicked a button on a small controller in his hand, turning on the collar resting around your neck electrocuting you.
The electricity flooded into your torso filling it to the brim before spilling out into your limbs.
"Stop!" Katsuki shouted, fighting against his restraints seeing the pain written on your face.
"NO!" You involuntarily cried out; eyes wide as a full moon watching the needles from the machine expand.
Katsuki felt physically ill, vomit burned the bottom of his throat watching the two villains force you into the machine.
Katsuki's heart ached as he was unable to do anything, watching you gasp out in pain as those familiar needles penetrated your healed scars.
"Hm." Shigaraki hummed rubbing his chin. "Probably could have turned the machine on once she was inside of it." The two villains struggling to place your thrashing body inside the restraints of the machine.
"You fucking bastards!" Katsuki cursed, "I'll fucking kill you all!"
"Alright-" The villains ignore the explosive blond.
You panted feeling your body burning, the restrains around your arms, neck and legs felt impenetrable. You had forgotten how hard it was to breathe inside this thing. "-let's try this puppy out!"
"Yeah!"
"Sick fucks!" Katsuki cursed, promising himself when he got loose, he was going to blast every single one of these villain's sky high!
You bit down hard on your jaw, so much the bone ached in pain. You refused to let these wannabe big timers hear your screams. Shigaraki was just following Shadow Jack's crooked footsteps, there is no way you were going to give them satisfaction.
"Here we go-!" Twice jumped, seeing the needles hooked to the machine began to fill with a dark liquid. "-ew gross!"
"Who is first?" Spinner wondered, seeing only one out of the dozen vial fill.
"That's not a lot." A side villain commented.
"For now." Shigaraki nodded, "We will need to track down those other two so we can have more." Your heart stopped hearing the mention of Shiro and Gray.
"Alright-!" Magne pumped himself up, injecting the needle inside his thigh. The other villains leaned with watchful eyes. "-ugh!" Magne threw his head back, "That feels amazing!"
"Really!?" Side villains cooed, "What does it feel like!?"
"When can I try!?"
"It's better than any drug I have ever had." Magne looked at his hands, they physically swelled with power.
Katsuki snarled, turning away from them to look at you whose head slumped downward. He so badly wanted to reach out, Katsuki swore he would never let anything happen to you so long as he was around and looked where you were now.
He failed.
Katsuki gritted his teeth.
How could he become the number one hero when he couldn't even protect you!?
"When can we get more!?"
"Hold on now." Shigaraki held a handout at the excited crooks. "We don't want to kill her just yet. Not until we can get more dual quirk users."
"Aw come on-!" The lackies went to protest.
"Hello-" A voice floated from the door with a lazy knock. "-I got a pizza delivery here." Katsuki blinked, looking from the door to the villains then you.
"SMASH!" All Might in his hero form came crashing through the wall, throwing Spinner off his balance.
"What the-!?" Spinner spun around. Katsuki's heart jumped in his throat. Before Shigaraki could order a gate to freedom, Woods rushed in using his signature move to capture all the villains.
"That's it-?" Dabi asked about to light his flames when Gran Torino seemed to appear in thin air knocking him out.
"You can't run anymore-!" All Might glared, "-League of villains, understand!? Because we are here now!"
"Tree man you're hugging me too tight-!" Twice complained. "-harder!"
All Might marched over to Katsuki, quickly undoing his binds. Before the pro-hero could breathe a word Katsuki dashed over to you.
"Careful!" All Might warned, "We don't know how to remove her from that-" Katsuki wasn't listening, all he could hear was his heart pounding against his eardrums as his vision tunneled locking onto only you.
He throws open the glass door, rips your restraints off. Katsuki's stomach would have tossed its contents if there was anything to throw up, watching the needles retracting out from your flesh as he yanked you into his arms.
Katsuki tightly holds you close, ignoring the feel of your warm blood trickling down his forearms.
"Stay behind us kid." Gran Torino warned, never removing his eyes from the villains. Katsuki didn't care he was being told what to do, all he cared about was he finally had you.
A small whimper pulled his scarlet eyes off Shigaraki, Katsuki gazed down at your pinched face.
"Hey-" Katsuki whispers, lightly rubbing your cheek with his finger. "-I got you. I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you, did I?"
"Katsuki..." You breathed, feeling nausea bull doze over your gut leaving you drained of all willpower.
"I'm here." Katsuki's voice sounded so stable, so confident like it always did...
"...you're...my hero..." Your eyes felt like steel traps threatening to slam shut. Katsuki formed a cocky grin.
"Damn right."
All Might craned his neck around, feeling at ease upon seeing you alive. He opened his mouth to order Katsuki to get out of here with you, find an ambulance and get you to a hospital.
But before the number one hero could speak a word dark water poured instantly from the ceiling, after a second of confusion Nomu began to fall into the room.
"What the-!?" Woods gasped, "Nomu!? How did they get here!?"
"Dammit, Edgeshot. Stop Kurogiri!" Gran Torino ordered.
"He's still out, this isn't his doing." Edgeshot hastily replied.
"They keep on coming!"
"Don't release them under any circumstances, got it!?" Gran Torino shouted over the noise of the creatures flooding into the abandoned bar.
Katsuki's scarlet eyes trailed around the chaotic room gripping you tight he was about to turn, feeling an urgent need to get you far away from these people who looked at you as a human battery.
Katsuki felt a tickle in his throat, he tried to fight it back but failed the cough came flying to freedom without his say. As it did, black water poured from his mouth, exploding around him.
"Bakugo!" All Might shouted, turning to watch the black water engulf him. Katsuki tried to hold you out, away from his body, but the water grabbed onto your borrowed hoodie and wouldn't let out, climbing over you until Katsuki and you both vanished from All Might's sight.
"NO!" All Might's chest heaved; his throat burned as his heart dropped at the realization his daughter was missing once more.
