My Old Hero

178: I Can't Stand the Rain

"DEKU!!!!"

Katsuki turned his head and saw the villain was already gone, but he didn't care at this point. 

He ran back down to the ground level and tried to look through all the rubble and smoke. He kept searching and froze when he saw it, his eyes went wide as he slowly walked up to see the dark green suit laying on the ground. 

But that wasn't the only thing, as he looked closer to know it was Izumi's body, her legs were gone. Though he knew her real legs were gone, it still shocked him to see her like this. 

As he looked from where her legs were, he saw her left hand was placed over her stomach and her head was tilted to the side. 

He dropped to his knees and carefully picked her up and tears streamed down his face so fast.

The screams and cries coming from the Number 1 hero were heard quickly, as everyone knew it wasn't the rain, but the Number 1 hero in tears. 

He pulled her hood off her head and tried to shake her. 

"Deku, c'mon... you gotta wake up... Deku please... I can't live without you! Deku..." 

Each word was spoken with pain and fear, his throat was shaking, he was desperate. 

"Deku... DEKU!!!!"

Katsuki sat in that chair, still wearing his hero suit and his eyes kept looking down at the ground. 

"Katsuki!" 

He looked up and saw his mother; Mitsuki and Izumi's mother, Inko running up to him. 

"Where is Izuku? Please tell me!" Inko cried. 

Katsuki could only point in the direction, and Inko ran without a second thought. 

The same fear she never wanted to go through had happened again, after almost 3 years. 

Mitsuki stood there in front of her son and noticed he wasn't saying anything. Mitsuki reached her hand out and was about to place it on his head.

"Katsuki-" 

"It's my fault." Mitsuki froze. 

"What? What's your fault?" Mitsuki knelt down in front of him.

"I was there when it happened. If I was just closer, then none of this would've happened. I hurt Izuku..." Katsuki said, as tears streamed down his pale cheeks. 

Mitsuki had never seen her son in so much pain, and though it wasn't physical, it was all mental... emotional. 

"Katsuki... this is not your fault." 

"Then whose is it?!? No one else was there except me!!! I didn't protect her, I failed!" he cried. 

"Katsuki..." 

The only thing Mitsuki could do was wrap her arms around her son and hug him to calm down.

"Bakugo!" 

Katsuki and Mitsuki looked up to see all of Class 1-A standing there, all were worried about him. 

"We heard Midoriya was taken to the hospital, is she okay?" Mina asked. 

"I..." 

"Excuse me." 

All of Class 1-A turned their heads to see Emra was standing behind them. 

"Ack- The Emerald Dragon's here!" Uraraka said. 

Emra walked through the heroes and up to Katsuki.
