Meraki (Aizawa and Eri x Girl! Reader Fanfic)

Chapter 24

I followed him and made my way to the location of the battle. My steps are light, and I make sure not to step on any twigs. I saw Eraserhead backed up by two heroes. Despite my concerns, I concentrated on the person I needed to defeat. Shigaraki's quirk causes the field to be littered with rubble for a few seconds. Endeavor takes the lead, facing the villain and instructing the other two student heroes.

"We're giving Eraserhead the support that he needs. Bakugou cover Deku!"

My eyes widened to allow for more concentration. My pupils appear to be dilated. Gran Torino nodded as I looked at him. That's a good sign that I can get started. Now!

Acquire one for all!

Shigaraki froze and stepped back, his hand on his chest. "One for all..." he muttered.

"It's working," I thought.

You will be mine...

"You will be mine..." he repeated.

Little brother.

"Little brother."

I can see Deku being taken aback by what is going on. I still need to send him some whispers. In the visual I created, I made it so that he will listen to the whispers in his head and I will be able to control him. I cast a quick glance at Shouta, who had his eyes closed. Great! Everything is going as planned.

"This is my power. My body!" When the villain screamed, I was astounded. He had his hands on his head and appeared to be losing it. My attention is solely on him as I launch an assault on his mind. I held on and strengthened my visual. Based on what he looked like on television, I relayed a scenario of All for One.

"Shut the hell up," Shigaraki crouches down to the ground, his hands covering his face.

For a brief moment, there was silence. As the adrenaline in my system began to wear off, my breathing became labored. I could feel the tension was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.

The closed eye that had been peering over his finger suddenly opened and looked straight at me. I gasped, and my breathing came to a halt.

Frozen.

Heart beating wildly.

Fear.

Death.

The visual I was creating began to deteriorate. As if my bones were breaking, pain shot through my body. I can't help but scream in response to the sensation. I've had my bones broken before, but this time it feels like my entire being is crushed. This is the first time someone has broken through and even damaged my visuals. I had no idea that doing so could also harm me.

"You dare control me bitch? I control myself!" Shigaraki Tomura yelled threateningly. The sinister smile on his face heightened my fear. His aura is palpable, and I can see why All for One is grooming him. He is powerful, and he is torturing me in every way he can.

The feeling of his decay on my body vanished as quickly as he realized my presence. I turned to face Eraserhead, only to discover that he had activated his quirk. I attempted to stand up, expecting my entire body to be in excruciating pain, but I felt fine. It's as if my entire body had never been crushed before as I thought it'd be.

"So the earlier pain was a rebound," I noted with my fingers on my chin. I had control over him, but he had control over me in the end. Now I know that this strategy will not work on him the next time. I'm still puzzled as to how he spotted me and noticed my visuals. Is it possible that it's all for one? I have no choice but to join their fight at this point.
