aerie (bakugo katsuki x oc)

chapter 50: second interrogation

Me, Katsuki, and Kirishima are spit out into a room that's half demolished.

    Damn that Kurogiri. Stealing my teleportation thunder.

   "That was... violating," I mutter.

   "You do it to me all the time!" yells Katsuki.

   I flip him off.

   It's ok when I do it, loser.

   This idiot is the only reason I let Kurogiri teleport me in the place. I had to follow him and Kiri when they went on ahead to make sure they stayed out of Shiggy's way. I couldn't care less about the rest of the class, but I don't want to see these two get killed. I kinda like them.

   Kiri scrambles to his feet. "What the heck was that?! Where are we?!"

   "I think we're still at USJ," I say, trying to play dumb. And well, considering we're in a room that's collapsed... "It looks like the collapsed zone."

   "Well what was the point of sending us here?" Kiri says, "Can't we just-"

   And just like that, Kurogiri sends us two foot soldiers to fight.

   Dibs.

   I beam between them and use my favorite Judo takedowns, getting them both on the ground in a matter of seconds.

   Weaklings.

   "Thanks for the help, guys," I mutter, like I didn't totally wanna do that on my own anyway.

   "Looks like you had it covered," Kiri says with a shrug.

   "There'll be more," I say, forgetting that I'm not supposed to know that.

   "How do you-"

   And just like that, more expendables appear. As I fight them, I start to realize that we seriously need to have a better perimeters on who we let into our organization. These guys are weak as shit.

   And just as I'm thinking that, Akio appears.

   Fat motherfucker. I hate this guy. And I know for a fact that he's gonna take this as an opportunity to try and fight me.

   And that, he does. He comes straight up to me, already swinging. As I try to dodge a hit from his left fist, I'm hit with his right. He makes contact right in the middle of my face, smashing my nose and causing my upper lip to get cut by my teeth. My head swings backwards, and I land on my back halfway across the room. My head hits the ground so hard that I see stars, and the metallic taste of the blood pouring out my mouth makes me gag. Disoriented, I roll over onto my side and hug my knees, waiting for my sight to come back.

   I'm gonna fucking kill him.

   I hear Akio slowly walk towards me. "Don't tell me that's all it took to take you down!" he says with a cocky chuckle. "I barely touched you! I thought you were supposed to be invin-"

   I reach out my hand and grab the stupid motherfucker's ankle, immediately beaming us to Everest.

   "Hey, what are you doing?!" I hear him shout through the roaring winds and snow, "How the hell did you get us here?!"

   "Why are you talking to me like you know me in front of other students?!" I yell, "You're gonna blow my cover you moron!"

   "I was gonna kill em anyway!" he argues, taking a step towards me. "Now how the hell did you get us here?! Where are we?! Mount Fuji?!"

   "Everest, dipshit."

   His face shows total confusion. "Wait, you teleported us all the way to Mount Everest? How did you do that?"

   I shrug, with half a smug smile. "It's my quirk."

   "What?! Does Shigaraki know about this?!"

   I slowly shake my head.

   "Why?"

   "Because if I told him, I'd have to kill him."

   "Wait," he says, eyes wide, "You don't mea-"

   "Bye," I say with a wave of my hand, then snap back to USJ.

   When I get back, Kiri's eyes widen at the sight of me. "Kai!" he says, sounding concerned. He rushes to my side, and carefully lifts his hand to cradle my cheek. "You're hurt," he says softly.

Alright, so Kiri's in love with me. Good to know.

   "I'm fine," I mutter, embarrassed that I let a loser like Akio land a hit on me. "It's just a bloody nose."

   "Okay, good," he says, removing his hand.

   That was pretty sweet. I love this guy.

   He nudges my shoulder. "Where did you go? I was starting to get worried!"

   I open my mouth to say Everest, but quickly catch myself.

   "Where did you go just now?" asks Katsuki, in an accusing tone.

   "Well..." I say, looking around the room. "Nowhere." It's true, I did go nowhere. In between sending Akio to his icy demise.

   "What?"says Kiri, "And what happened to that villain?"

   "I left him... uh... nowhere."

   "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" says kittykat.

   "Well," I start scraping the dirt out from underneath my fingernails. "You know that place you go in between glitches?"

   "The void? Yeah, I know it pretty well, thanks to you," Katsuki remarks.

   "Well, that's nowhere."

   "So you left him... in a void?" says Kiri, clearly disturbed.

   Great, now they know I'm a murderer. Not great for my hero image.

   "How?" asks Katsuki.

   "Um... I'm not sure how to explain it. I just brought myself back, but not him."

   "So... what happened to him?" asks Kiri.

   I shrug. "I don't know what happens to them after that."

   "Wait, them?!" says Kiri, with a horrified look on his face. "You've done that before?! To who?!"

   Oh, great. More questions. What did Shiggy say to do when people got curious again?

   I hold up my hands. "Why are y'all interrogating me?"

Yes, that iconic line of mine.

   They look at me with confused expressions.

   "Y'all?" says Kiri, quietly.

   Fuck. That's what they say in the countryside, not cities like this. I need to be more careful about the words I let slip, I'm gonna blow my cover.

   I then try to change the subject, saying we should go help the others. But Katsuki has other plans. He's saying that he wants to try and take on Kurogiri. I do everything in my power to convince him not to, because I know that if he gets too close to my Shiggy, he's fucking dead. And if he dies, who will I annoy at school?

Hold on. If we kill All Might today with Nomu... there'll be no reason for me to go to UA at all anymore. Huh... for some reason... that makes me kinda sad. I've been having fun on this little field trip of mine.

   I can't seem to talk those two out of going to fight Kurogiri, so it seems like my only option is to go with them, and try not to let them get killed. I wonder how Shiggy is gonna feel about that.
