Fire & Smoke • Katsuki Bakugou x O/C

A Tool in Your Collection

"It's been almost three fucking weeks. The watch has died down. I'm doing it tonight." I mumble as all eyes linger on me.

"You must not understand." Shigaraki hisses angrily in my direction, slamming his hand down onto the table while simultaneously keeping a pinky raised.

"I said no." He scratches violently at his neck, the sound making me want to fucking scream.

"Your flip flopping is what's going to fuck me up and get me caught!" I snap.

"Kitty." Dabi warns me, side eyeing me from the chair he's leaning back in.

I stand from the metal folding chair I'm seated in, the anger rising in me as I look directly at Shigaraki.

"No, fuck that. I'm the one putting myself on the line. You told me I was hitting tonight. My plan was for tonight. You don't get to decide last minute that I need to reschedule."

Toga sits forward in Dabi's lap, finally taking a break from spinning the shiny silver knife in between her fingers to look on in entertainment.

She giggles quietly, eyes glimmering with delight.

"Ooh, angry Kitty." She teases.

Dabi wraps an arm around her waist, hushing her and pulling her back against his chest.

"She has a point. Maybe she should go." Dabi says, his voice muffled as he buries his face into the crook of Himiko's neck.

I watch the sickening sight as she runs the tip of her knife along my brother's forearm. He doesn't even flinch when tiny specks of bright red blood form in a slim line where she just barely grazed his skin.

"Stop that." He scolds her gently like a child as I look on in disgust. I'll never understand what my brother sees in that little sadist.

Toga spots me staring and flashes me a wide smile, exposing her sharpened canines.

"Fucking weird." I mumble before turning back to Shiggy.

"If you go tonight, we will not back you up. Do you morons understand me?"

He looks around at the rest of the room.

Hawks sits forward, lacing his fingers together and making eye contact with me.

"Don't do it Kitty. I'm telling you, you're still at the front of their minds."

I glare at him, my eyes drilling into his skull.

"What do you people not understand? I've been watching this warehouse. If I miss that shipment of Zeronin tonight, that's it for at least another two months as far as I know. It's gone. And we're running out of fucking time."

"So you find another factory." Kurogiri mumbles and my hands instantly reach up to nearly rip my fucking hair out of my skull.

I take in a deep breath, ignoring the angry tingling in my limbs as my smoke involuntarily builds up in my palms.

"The Heroes Showcase is in less than three months." I shake my head, grabbing my coat from over the chair where I placed it.

"It has to happen tonight. I don't give a fuck if none of you are there to back me up or help. That's no different from any other time I've done this."

"Kitty-"

"Kitsune." Hawks and Dabi call after me as I make my way out of the room.

"Just let her go." I hear Shigaraki scold them right before I slam open the exit door of the building.

I storm off down the sidewalk, trying to get as far away as I can from the lab.

"Kitty! Kitty, stop." I hear Hawks as he runs after me.
