From the Shadows || Katsuki Bakugou x OC

Chapter Sixty-tw0

"What the-" Shigaraki backed away, tripping over a rusty piece of metal and almost falling.

"You're not the only one who kept a secret." She used shadows to lift Spinner up and threw him at Shigaraki, knocking them both to the floor. I guess she figured out how to shadow travel, because she disappeared with Shigaraki. Spinner and the unknown villain must have realized just how bad things were going for them, and started to run.

But everyone jumped to action, except me, and kept them from getting very far. Within a minute Himiko was back and grabbed then unknown villain. Spinner tried to get away, but was easily outnumbered. Even with Touya and I not fighting.

Again Himiko was back. She grabbed Spinner and took him to the police.

"Is it really that easy?" Ochako stood, slightly shocked. The entire battle couldn't have taken more than ten minutes.

"I think it might be." Mr. Aizawa said, getting out some eye drops. "We have all the strongest members of the League. And now we have two ex-members who can help us."

I finally stopped feeling so nauseous and stood up. "Mr. Aizawa," I walked towards him. "isn't Recovery Girl with the police?"

"Yes. I'll help you carry your brother to her."

Himiko reappeared, then shook off the façade of looking like me. "Keiko!" She cried out, quickly jumping over the rubble. "Are we gonna help Touya? Is there a hospital anywhere close?" Mr. Aizawa quickly explained that we were just about to help him and that she can help too if she wants.

We went out to where he was sitting, leaned against a wall. He looked up at us, "Is it finally over?"

"Yes, and we're going to get your leg fixed up immediately." Mr. Aizawa helped to bring him to his feet. "Do you think you could create a temporary splint?"

"You got it." I did as he said, and walked along them while Himiko and Mr. Aizawa were like crutches for him.

"I can't believe he took my quirk." Touya faintly laughed, "What the hell am I supposed to do if someone comes for us?"

"I can assure you that you'll be safe where you'll-"

"I'm not talking about me. I'm worried about my siblings. Including Himiko." He hiccuped. "I can't protect any of them nearly as well anymore." Himiko and I looked at him worried. "If I could cry I would, but my tear ducts were destroyed god knows how long ago."

We finally reached Recovery Girl, "Touya, right?"

"Yeah." He sat down.

"I promise you that all of your siblings will be perfectly safe." Everyone else arrived behind us.

"Thanks. It's good to hear that." He looked at Shoto. "Do you mind if I talk to Shoto after my leg is fixed up?"

"Thats perfectly fine." It only took a few seconds for him to be healed, so the rest of us stood near the vehicle we arrived in.

"Keiko," Himiko said, "It's over." She hugged me tightly and cried into my shoulder. "I don't- I don't want to do that again." She quieted down, then looked towards Ochako and Izuku.

"I'm so sorry." She cried, her voice starting to getting a little hoarse. "Ochako, Izuku, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you." She wiped her tears from her face, which was just replaced with more tears. "I didn't want to hurt anybody, but I didn't want to die either. I just wanted friends. A family."

Ochako awkwardly grabbed her shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. I know that. Keiko told me." Himiko sniffed.

"Yeah, you fought with us and helped us to capture some seriously terrible people." Izuku added, "And if Keiko trusts you, then I think we should too. I've known him since we were little, so why wouldn't I trust their instincts?"

"Him?" She sniffed again, distracted by her confusion.

"Ah- I haven't gotten to tell you or Touya yet, but since the last time I saw you I figured out I'm agender and am comfortable with any pronouns."

Himiko wiped her eyes again, "Oh, cool!" she laughed a little, "I'll keep that in mind."

"Alright kids, we should head back now. Touya and Himiko are riding with us."

We all nodded and got into the bus. We spent the time catching up and everyone else getting to know Touya and Himiko. Even after what just happened, things felt... somewhat normal.
