Ch.12 - Soulmates Wear Matching Masks

They needed to wrap this up and catch one of the vigilantes and quickly. There was a laugh from behind Bakugou and before he could react, there was a flash of bright colour and then he was being sent flying towards Fear's rapier from a roundhouse kick.

The vigilante gave a giggle and smiled towards Midoriya's opponent who dodged a shoot style kick and grabbed the boy's wrist as he spun back to deliver another punch.

"Come on Wrath! Time to go!" Bakugou shot out a blast towards her and the female vanished, reappearing on top of one of the desks a heartbeat later and winked at him. "Close but no cigar. Hey Wrathy! What's the hold up."

"Piss off. Take someone else who needs it more."

Pride's brow twitched at the refusal to retreat and her gaze moved from watching Todoroki's ice and deflecting it to the exotic brunette who had managed to get Midroiya into a triangle choke and thrown them both into a mini bout of wrestling on the ground. Something about the lack of surprise in the look told Todoroki that this near feral form of butal fighting was nothing new.

He switched sides, trying flame as something he couldn't see shattered through the ice wave he'd shot at the female. Pride slowly turned her attention back to him as Wrath hissed at Lust that she was a little busy. A heartbeat later he couldn't see the smaller form behind his flames.

He let up, panic flaring in fear that he might have badly burned the female- only for her to look utterly unscathed.

"Take Gluttony out first!" Wrath called, springing back to her feet as she and Midoriya broke apart, both huffing and taking a moment to see who would make the next move. "We've got a job to do. I'm sure Greed's a big enough boy to handle himself if we need to get out of here."

Lust hesitated for a moment as though unsure if it was alright to change the plan.

"Do it. We'll be fine." Pride spoke and there was a smile from Fear who seemed to be utterly enjoying toying with Bakugou still.

"No wonder your name's fucking Pride! Don't underestimate us!" Bakugou snarled, letting another blast loose at Fear who dodged out of the way. His eyes narrowed and it was obvious from his smoking and crackling palms that the fact he was still stuck in a stalemate with her was royally pissing him off.

He had a feeling she had a stupid grin on that damned mask and she knew the idea of it was getting under his skin.

There was another bright laugh from Lust as she vanished and reappeared beside Gluttony, mock bowing. "Shall we?" There was a wicked grin as another heavy desk chair shot across the room at Midoriya who had nearly managed to back Wrath against the ice coating the glass windows while the table from before shot back in front of the female to shield her from another blast of fire from Todoroki.

The witch vigilante hummed as though contemplating before taking the other female's outstretched hand and allowing her to teleport them away. Bakugou cursed under his breath but seemed relieved. That was one of the hardest quirks to get over. Still, if they were getting her out of here, maybe she was near her limit from getting them past the agency's security.

Pride glanced back at Greed for a moment before retreating back towards him and looking out at the boys. "You really won't calm down and listen to reason, will you?" Todoroki felt his sides dip and rise in temperature in response as the irritation emanating from her morphed into something sharper. Deadlier. "All of you hero-types are the same."

There was a yell from Bakugou as he had blasted himself up and was now looking to shoot down a devastating blow onto Fear who saw and flashed out of range with a smile and a pang of nausea shot through Midoriya as he cried out for Bakugou a fraction of a moment too late.
