LOST // BAKUGO X OC

The Battle Continues

Estelle was still having a not great day, she had a nightmare, went to school, got attacked, and now she was sliding with Shoto Todoroki while they made their way across the USJ.

They both stayed soundless. Estelle was content with that; She liked her bubbles.

Todoroki decided to pop it when he spoke, asking her a query that laid on his mind when he saw her on the bus. "That bruise on your cheek, was that from a villain?"

Estelle narrowed her eyes at the boy. He shouldn't have been able to notice as his eyes only lingered on her for a few seconds. The question gave her an out, though, and Estelle decided to immediately take it. "Yep, sure was", she acknowledged behind him, skidding on the ice.

Todoroki held a contemplative look as he regarded her answer. He knew it was a lie, but he guessed he wouldn't get any answers out of her. His curiosity was satisfied, though.

When they finally reached Aizawa and the villains, Todoroki and Estelle realised that All Might had arrived. When the beast hit his stomach, the number one hero grunted in pain. The two-toned boy immediately shot out his ice to freeze the Nomu while Estelle clenched her fist to raise vines from the ground to wrap around the iced beast. Clenching her fist tighter to squeeze it further while the thing screeched.

Bakugo followed suit, rushing in and defeating the villain with the portal quirk and Kirishima running behind as if he was too late. The boy groaned and complained about his lack of luck, and Estelle was reminded of how naive these students were.

All Might stared at the two students in bewilderment as Todoroki voiced his thoughts. "One of your poorly trained thugs told me that you're here because you think you can kill All Might. The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by delinquents like you."

The leader turned to his ally and spoke, "Kurogiri. How could you let this brat get the best of you? You've gotten us into a real jam here."

Bakugo looked down at Kurogiri with a smirk and explained, "Heh. You got careless, you dumb villain. It wasn't hard to figure out that only certain parts of you turn into that smoking warp gate. You used that mist to hide your actual body as a kind of distraction. Thinking that made you safe! That's why we missed!"

Estelle looked at Bakugo with impressed approval. It seemed that she may have judged him too soon when she called him idiotic. 'He does have a noggin', she thought.

Todoroki eyed the girl as her cold face moved to surprise and impressed towards the explosive male. He was confused; why was he irritated that her attention was on the angry male? 'Because you want her to look at you like that', a voice whispered in his brain. He quickly shook the thought from his mind.

"But if you didn't have a body, you wouldn't be wearing this neck armour, right? You're not immune to physical attacks if they're well aimed." Bakugo finished with a smug grin. He looked up and made accidental eye contact with the stoic girl. He flushed pink when he felt her observance since her expression differed significantly from how he had seen her so far. She looked drop-dead gorgeous when she didn't look vacant.

Bakugo quickly snapped out of it when he felt Kurogiri move, threatening him with his explosions while his quirk crackled and popped in his hands. Taking a peek at Estelle, he glowered when he realised that all feeling had left her face again.

The handyman spoke up once again, stepping forward while simultaneously scratching his limbs wildly. "They escaped uninjured and captured two of my strongest men. Kids these days really are amazing. They make the League of Villains look like amateurs. We can't have that. Nomu," He finally called.
