Uncontrollable (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

Explanations

Darkness lurked in every corner. A glowing, star like being was making its way towards you, swimming in the shadows. As it grew nearer, Rika's figure began to appear, her black hair swept over her shoulder. She gave you a warm smile and bowed her head. 

"Welcome back, Y/n. I'm glad to see you're alright. Walk with me."

You followed as Rika turned around and began to walk through the nothingness. Her robes trailed behind her on the pathway as she walked with both strength and grace. She sort of reminded you of Yaoyurozu in that way. They looked alike, as well. 

"If you're wondering, you were knocked unconscious by All for One. You got lucky that's all he did, though," she sighed, coming to a stop. 

So that's why she was here. The last time you met Rika, it was when you were unconscious following the league's raid on the training camp. It was strange to think that had only been a few days ago...So much had happened since then. 

"Why are you here, Rika?" you asked as the woman waved her hand in front of her, and a puddle of light appeared before the two of you. It was what you'd seen last time, a glimpse into the past. 

"Our last meeting got cut short. We need to finish our conversation," she answered as the pool of light began to swirl, forming images and scenes that you'd never seen, but seemed familiar to you somehow. "Last time we met, I told you about the origins of our quirk and where it came from. Unfortunately, I had to skip over some pertinent details."

As she spoke, an image began to cultivate in the sphere of light. It showed seven people standing in a row. You stood on the far right side, with Rika on your left. Beyond that, the images were blurred out, as though they had lagged before fully forming. And the individual on the far left, he stood with his back to you. He was the only one turned around, as though even if his image was clear, he didn't want anyone to know who he was. 

You knew who these people were, even without an explanation. They were the past holders of Element; those who came before you. 

"After the first holder was killed, the quirk was immediately reborn into the second," Rika began, pointing at the figures before you. "The same happened to the third one. But then, something strange occurred. Between the death of the third user, and the birth of the fourth was a time gap of thirty five years. During this time, evil forces hadn't been actively threatening the balance of the world. It was an era of peace where heroes were lacking in work. The fourth was born before a resurgence of villain activity, as though the quirk had anticipated the threat."

Rika paused and looked at you, pointing to where the two of you stood on the end of the line of heroes. 

"I died twenty nine years ago."

Twenty nine years ago. That meant that thirteen years passed before the quirk was reborn inside of you. But the world hadn't been a peaceful place over the last three decades... so how?

"Not long after my death, All Might stepped up as the symbol of peace. With him at the top, crime and villainy was suppressed, and even All for One was vanquished for a number of years," she explained as though she already knew the questions you had. She sighed, and turned towards you, an intense look crossing her face. "But now, as you're getting closer and closer to becoming a fully fledged hero, All Might has fallen. The symbol of peace is no more. The world no longer has someone at the top to protect the peace that All Might worked so hard to create."
