Reaper- OC in MHA

Chapter 4: Reconsider

Bakugou

I was sitting at the couch when I heard Mina squeal.

"BLACKST-"

"Call me Thalia," a low voice cut in.

"THAAAAAAAAAALIA!" she screamed, undeterred.

I looked up to see the girl from earlier.

"You finished your room?" Asked Invisigirl.

"Yeah," Thalia said.

"Can we see?" Mina.

"Uh... sure."

The entire class followed the girls to see Thalia's room. I supposed that it had something to do with the room competition we had had a few days ago. Thalia stopped in front of a door and pushed it open.

The first thing I noticed was that everything was black or grey with red or silver highlights. The second was-

"WHAT ARE ALL OF THESE WEAPONS?" That.

I looked at Thalia again. Maybe I had been wrong about her. She seemed pretty cool; after all, she was one of the only people who hadn't immediately feared me. Currently, she was shrugging at the others' screams.

"Is there a rule against it?"

"Well... no," said Four-eyes slowly.

"Then I don't see what the problem is." I snorted quietly.

Her eyes flicked to me, then back to the others, a small grin on her lips. I chuckled under my breath and kept looking around. There were several photos of her and a girl with dark red hair. No family photos... strange.

"YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE THESE WEAPONS?!?!" Screamed the class in synch. It was actually pretty damn creepy.

"I just told you I can," Thalia said. "Now, are we here to question my abilities or to look at the room?"

"Oh, yeah," said Mina sheepishly.

She spun around quickly, trying to make up for gawking at the weapons for so long. Her eyes landed on the pictures.

"Oooo, Thalia, who's this?"

"That's Lilith, my best friend."

"She's so pretty!"

Mina glanced around the rest of the room, then pointed at a large box on the desk.

"What's this?" Thalia looked to where Mina was pointing.

"Oh, that's the stuff I use to fix my support gear."

"Cool! What kind of gear do you have?"

"Nothing much. Just some protective clothes and collapsible weapons."

Hmmm, I thought. That seems pretty generic; nothing quirk specific. I wonder what hers is?

"Cool!" Said Mina, already flipping open the lid to the other box on the desk. "Wow, this is a lot of jewelry!"

I peered over her shoulder, curious. Thalia didn't seem the type for jewelry. What I saw surprised me. Rows of rings of every size, as well as studs in a bunch of different designs. All of it was black, silver, red, or a combination of those colours. She had elaborate earrings in snake designs, studs and rings connected by chains as well as a few ear cuffs. The only things I could see that weren't meant for piercings were a few chain bracelets and necklaces. How did she even wear all of this stuff?

"How many piercings do you have?" I asked, curious. Everyone jumped, apparently having forgotten that I was there. Idiots. They looked at her, shocked at the piercings.

"Uhhh..." she said, counting on her fingers. "Twenty three total."

"WHAT?" I looked over to Floaty girl, who had screamed. She blushed at the eyes on her. "I mean... Where do you have space for all of that?"

Thalia pointed at her various piercings. She didn't have anything in most of them right now, but if you looked close enough, you could see the holes. I noticed that pink cheeks and frog girl didn't seem as enthusiastic as before; their families were probably the more traditional type.

"Oooooh! I have an idea!" squealed Raccoon Eyes. "What?" Asked Invisigirl and Ponytail. "Let's choose her jewelry for her!" The girls squealed at the idea. I sighed and left them in peace, grateful that we weren't the victims of their insanity. They shoved the shitty nerd out the door, and the other soon followed. They slammed the door behind them. I grinned. You know, they weren't actually that bad.

Fifteen minutes later, Raccoon Eyes, Ponytail, Floaty, Invisigirl, Frog Girl, and Headphones burst into the common room. "Now presenting... Thalia!" They all stepped aside, letting the raven-haired girl step forwards.

She sighed. "You guys really went overboard." Her hair was up in an elaborate braid, and she had snake ear climbers on her ears. She had a fine silver chain around her neck, and matching chains around each wrist. She was wearing a black dress that hugged her chest then flared out to her knees. She posed half-heartedly, then spun around at the others' encouragement.

Suddenly she lashed out. I heard a cry of pain and turned my head to see the grape, who had been slapped by Thalia. "Stop ogling people," she said harshly. "You are a disgrace to humans and the women of the world should not have to suffer being in your presence." Mineta flinched away from her. "You disgusting coward. If killing wasn't illegal, you'd be six feet under by now." The midget started blubbering, then ran away.

"YES, Thalia!" Mina cheered. Hagakure walked up to the raven-haired girl and hugged her, thanking her for standing up to the purple-haired boy.

"It was nothing," she shrugged. "He needed to be put in his place, anyways." She glanced over at the rest of the girls. "If he ever bothers any of you, come to me, alright?"

"Okay!" they chorused back.

Ten minutes later, we were sitting in the common room, the grape still nowhere to be found. Thalia was wearing what she had been before the girls had gotten their hands on her. We were taking turns asking her questions, and she was patiently answering them all. It was my turn. Mina had of course asked if the girl had a boyfriend, and we had all found out that she was pansexual. I noticed that a few of the people were sitting a little more stiffly, and Uraraka even looked embarrassed, as if Thalia was going to begin flirting with everyone. After she had given us a short lecture about assumptions. I opened my mouth to ask what her quirk was, but just as the words were about to leave my mouth, I caught sight of a flash of colour on her arm.

"What is that?" She held up her arm for us to see.

"Is that a tattoo?" asked Floaty, voice layered with horror.

"Yep."

"ISN'T THAT ILLEGAL?" asked Four-Eyes, doing the robot. Thalia shrugged.

"Anything can be done in America... for the right price." I took a closer look at the tattoos. The one on her forearm was of a dagger, dripping blood. The one on her shoulder was of some kind of curved weapon... A scythe. Thalia pulled her pant leg up to reveal a design of roses just above her ankle.

"But... isn't that defiling the body your parents gave you?" Asked the nerd.

"Mum and dad also had ink," she shrugged.

Wait... did she just speak of them in past tense?

Okay, okay, okay, I know I'm late! I'll do another update on this soon!

Thank you for reading! <3
