LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Final Fight

Estelle paid no mind to Tokoyami when the match began. Her mind, at this point, was too tired from the mental turmoil she had just experienced. Estelle allowed him a couple of minutes to show off his attacks whilst she dodged them. Eventually, the female lit up in flames from head to toe. The creature linked to Tokoyami flinched back and lost power due to his weakness with light. Estelle flicked her hand up to bind the boy and his quirk with vines from the earth. The crowd roared their approval as she immediately walked back to the tunnel whilst releasing them from her vines.

Estelle made her way back to Shinsou, who smirked at the girl and her quickness; he couldn't deny he was impressed. He was delighted that someone with such skill would be helping him become a hero.

Instead of heading back to the bleachers, the two decided to hang around the waiting room. Estelle was warmed that the boy stuck around for her well-being.

The matches were down to the finals at this point. Bakugo would be fighting Todoroki, leaving the winner to fight Estelle. Estelle just hoped Nona was having a good time.

"I'll be right back; I'm going to grab something from the vending machine," Shinsou stated as he walked around the corner.

Estelle stood leaning against the wall with her eyes closed and waited for his return. When she heard footsteps make their way towards her, she assumed Shinsou was back already. Looking up, she was met by a man encased in flames, staring down at her like she would be intimidated. She recognised that this hunk of firewood was, in fact, Todoroki's father.

"When Todoroki wins this next match, I want you to push him to use his flames. That power of yours is useful. Who are your parents?"

Estelle raised an eyebrow at the man's forwardness before responding bluntly, "I'll let the boy do what he wants, and secondly, it doesn't matter. They are dead."

The man looked down at the girl with a frown before smirking. "I see. I was hoping we would be able to come to some sort of arrangement. I found it strange that when I looked for information on you. There was nothing to be found, very odd indeed."

Estelle could see where he was going with this. "No, thank you, I'm not interested. If my parents were alive, they wouldn't be either thank you very much. It looks like you need a reality check on what's going on around you; maybe get a self-help book? Or a therapist. You'll never be able to control him, so stop trying."

Endeavour's flames crackled around him, the specks spiking off him landed on Estelle. She showed no outward reaction to his tactics. "Now you listen here, young girl-"

He was cut off by Shinsou holding drinks and some snacks from the vending machine. "Is everything all right?"

Endeavour huffed and gave Estelle another enraged look before turning away and storming off. Shinsou sighed when he turned back to Estelle. "I leave you for one moment, and you're tied up in something else. Troublesome."

Estelle smirked and shook her head, frustration ebbing slightly at the sight of Shinsou. She strolled away, expecting him to follow. "Come on."

Estelle looked around the corner of the corridor to see Todoroki Shoto with his head down in a thoughtful expression. Looking up, he made eye contact with the first person who stood up to his father. He gave a slight nod and half-smile before walking away, leaving Estelle with an odd feeling as she watched him disappear.

Shaking the emotions off, Estelle and Shinsou sat in the waiting room. Snacks in hand while they waited for the winner to be announced and Estelle's turn to fight. Estelle stared at her bracelet as her mind repeated the endless cycle of thoughts.
