Heterochromatic

[69] Quirk

Doors slam shut and TVs play loudly as the two move through the less built-up area of where they live. They have gotten off to a fast start. One playing it off their phone to make sure they haven't missed their only chance.

Aizawa stares at his students from behind the 'safe haven' of Ekio's dust. He had always been suspicious of Xian, there just wasn't something right about the boy as he grew into his older years.

He felt the same way about Ekio, but as he got to know her more, he lost that feeling. He started to see her as one of the next big Heroes. But at the moment he can't figure out what is going on. There are endless possibilities as to what is happening right now.

One; Xian could be making this all up just to try and pull Ekio onto his side. Aizawa wants to believe that this is the truth, but the other ones are just as convincing.

Two; Ekio was on the Leagues side, but now that Xian has been shown to the world, she is backing out and pretending to be on the Hero side.

Three; Ekio is good at acting and is going to leave for Xian in a moment, this is just one big distraction.

Aizawa wants the first reason to be true, but at this point, he isn't seeing his student in Ekio anymore. She is acting irrationally compared to usual and the look in her eyes is hard to pinpoint.

What keeps knocking him back to reality is her eyes, the heterochromatic blue and gold that looks exactly like her brother, just switched. They pierce into everything they touch and make him shiver every time he makes contact with them.

Those eyes, remind him of something.

Someone.

"C'mon Ekio, why are you dodging m–"

As Xian calls out to her, Ekio lands a hit, deadset in the middle of his face, slamming the boy into the ground. Xian hissing and grabs onto her leg from the ground, fire beaming from his fingers and burning into her already injured leg.

Bakugo finches forward at this, stepping right up to the golden lines and staring at his friend.

A piercing scream leaves Ekio's mouth as her ankle bubbles hotly. Xian's grip on her loosens as he hears this, allowing Ekio to step away from him. Her entire leg shivers and shakes as she limps away from him, her head down.

"Fuck you," Ekio growls, her hand glowing as she aims for Xian's shoulder.

Xian rolls to the side and kicks at her ankle, causing her to crumble immediately.

"Aizawa-san," All Might's voice breaks the said man out of his trance.

The Number One Hero is being wheeled towards him on a hospital bed, the nurses looking extremely worried but also not wanting to defy the Hero.

"You should be in the hospital," Aizawa drones, looking back towards the fight.

"Young Kio isn't telling us something," he says as he is parked next to the students.

"Yeah, no shit." Bakugo snaps.

Bakugo can't understand why Ekio would put up a wall between them. Why she would block him out instead of just putting a box around Xian. Nothing is making sense to him at the moment. He does understand that the girl is most likely not making any controlled decisions because of the state that she is in.

But he needs to get the girl back. After everything she did to try and keep him safe and out of danger.

He needs Ekio.
