Lifeless

Chapter 34 -Favilla

(Tw!) This chapter mentions wounds and passing out, along with fighting. 

I was thinking about making a oneshot book or something like that just because sometimes I need a way to vent my emotions that aren't in this fic, cause that would make the plot go literally everywhere. If anybody has some suggestions I'm happy to take them, fluffy or angsty. I think it would be exciting to try something new like this, but they've never appealed to me before now so I don't really know the "traditional" way to set one up. I'm honestly just gonna write what comes to mind in one chapter and post it probably (If I get that far, sometimes I give up halfway through ideas lol)

Favilla - Ashes; embers

_______________

Izuku limped forward, his eyesight waned in and out of existence and a ringing had started in his ears a few minutes ago. He collapsed in an alley, moving his limbs with great resistance behind a large dumpster. Izuku wasn't sure if he was going to pass out, but he was in no condition to defend himself from the heroes after him, even if he did stay conscious.

As his vision darkened, Izuku curled himself further into the small tunnel he had made, praying that he wouldn't be discovered. When he woke, he told himself he would find shelter and recover. Then, he would find Dabi and Miso.

Izuku fell unconscious while planning. His head spinning with possibilities and plots, only for them to be forgotten as his consciousness completely faded.

Katsuki watched as a fire burned around him, flames licking his ash covered face. Bodies lay on the floor at his feet as he took in the damage he had done around him. He wasn't sure if the villains scattered around him were dead or simply unconscious, but it didn't matter to him. The only thing on his mind was the adrenaline flowing through his veins.

His heart beat in short intervals that was felt in his ears, and his breath was raggedy, but he felt alive. The feeling of victory started spreading in Katsuki's chest, causing a smile to gather on his lips.

The pure adrenaline of victory was the one thing he craved, and now that he had it, he was an addict.

Quickly, before Kirishima could catch up to him, Katsuki ran away from the other boy towards the explosions in the distance. There would be more fighting there, and Katsuki was ready to put his life on the line to feel the same rush again.

As his hands expelled explosions keeping him off the ground, Bakugou scanned the people below him, watching for villains. He landed quickly and quietly behind a concrete pillar where he could attack more villains unnoticed.

From his vantage point Katsuki watched for the toughest looking villain that he could kill, while also surveying who was in trouble. If one of his classmates was in trouble, it would surely be heroic if Bakugou were to save them.

With that thought, Katsuki smirked and stalked out of his hiding spot, slowly moving towards his decided target. The man was beefy and tall, and the most obvious person on the field. If Katsuki managed to take him down, he'd be labelled as a hero by the media.

One step at a time, Katsuki approached while managing to avoid the smaller villains around him, though none actually aimed to attack him. Katsuki flinched backwards as his target's gaze suddenly turned towards him, but when the man kept gazing onward in horror, Bakugou followed the man's gaze.

His eyes widened in surprise at seeing the slim figure dating the concrete wall, but his surprise lessened as he noticed All Might was standing across from the embedded villain. Of course All Might would be the only person strong enough to do that, Katsuki scoffed as his gaze once again swept over the defeated figure of the boy All Might defeated.

A gasp was let out of Bakugou as a force hit the back of his head, a triumphant laugh reverberating in his mind before his vision faded completely.

The large villain that had incapacitated Katsuki laughed in victory at the child before returning to battle.
