LOST // BAKUGO X OC

Mr Aizawa's Determination

Estelle puffed for breath as she sliced down the hoards of creatures rushing through the trees at top speed. Growling in annoyance, Estelle quickly wiped the sweat off her brow before striking another down with a slice to the heart.

The screeching sound could still be heard through her earpiece as she tried to drown out the sound by the thumping of the music blaring. She was starting to get sick of hearing their squeals, she would typically have to just put up with it, but Estelle was glad she was allowed to ignore them in this world.

It was an upside to the shitty situation she was in.

As the hoards grew fewer and less frequent for the day, Estelle winced at the stab in her arm. Clenching her jaw tightly, Estelle put one hand on the bark of a tree as the other moved to the claw. Bracing herself, Estelle yanked out the nail with a grumble and frowned at the green vein-like lines sailing around the bloody red hole.

Her hand lit up in green as she healed herself, the green lines staying as the hole closed up. Estelle couldn't do much about the poison since it would have entered her bloodstream by now - she would just have to wait it out.

Estelle decided she was done for the day and unfurled her wings to take off. Her eyes widened when they caught on an engraving on the tree. Flying closer, Estelle attempted to comprehend what she was seeing.

It was an engraving of a bloodied bird that she assumed was a dove. Furrowing her brow at the blood on the tips of their wings, Estelle's eyes trail down to the bloody tears pouring out of its eyes. Keeping her gaze moving, Estelle finally landed on the three drops of blood on the dove's body.

Her blood ran cold at the implications of what she was seeing. Estelle was utterly dumbfounded and took a few moments to stare at the art so articulately carved into the bark. Estelle could smell the faint copper in the air, and her frown deepened. It was real blood.

Not wanting to think about it out in the open, Estelle flapped her wings to shoot herself into the sky and directly back to Heights Alliance.

Her mind rushed with theories as she made it back to the dorms. Walking through the entrance, Estelle ignored everyone as she walked through the door. She made her way to Mr Aizawa to give her report.

Her thoughts rumbled as she tried to figure out who was behind the symbol. Was it the man in red? But, Estelle didn't know any suspects from her old world. They all should be down for the count, at least for now.

Thankfully, Mr Aizawa was pretty relaxed with Estelle. She could only assume it was a nuisance having to deal with the constant pestering of the commission, but he never gave one word of complaint. She was thankful for that.

It made her appreciate him more. She had overheard his conversation by accident one day with the board, and he did not take an ounce of shit from them. It filled up some part of her that she had never experienced before, knowing that he held her interest at heart, at least somewhat.

Stepping into the room, Estelle nodded to her teacher in greeting before informing him about the warning she had received. Feeling his tired eyes gazing into her, Estelle waited for her dismissal before she could leave. Surprisingly, he didn't do the usual and instead turned back to the couch, his head gesturing her to follow.

Stepping behind him, Estelle sat on the couch across from Mr Aizawa. He was still in his sleeping bag as he took his seat, and Estelle had to hold back her smile from how strange he looked.

He looked like a broken worm.

She would never say that, though.

It seemed he picked up on her thoughts as his eyes narrowed at her. Turning her head away innocently, Estelle could hear the male's huff of irritation across from her.
