Electrify Me

Chapter 5

"You still can't get anything useful you stupid waste of space!" Ahmya is tearing into her again. It's not really a surprise, though. Ahmya is always coming up with ways to insult Denki.

Obviously, she hasn't been trying to get any information from the class, hoping that Shouta would find a way for her to get away from the villains who adopted her. "There's not really anything for me to get. I don't even really know what you want me to be looking for. You haven't told me anything."

Denki knew that talking back would make things worse, but she still said it. She didn't know what they expected of her. She needed to know or nothing she did would matter.

"What a fucking waste of space. Are you stupid? Weaknesses, locations that All Might is going to be at, who is All Might's successor!" She glares at him. "We've been over this a million times, stupid! We need to know who All Might gave his quirk to."

Denki was still confused. She didn't understand what was meant by All Might giving his quirk to someone. Is one of the students All Might's child? "I still don't understand what you mean by All Might giving his quirk to someone. Do you think he has a child that happens to be one of my classmates?" Even if she did understand, she definitely wouldn't tell her adoptive parents, but she needs to know what she's looking for so that she can protect whoever it is from whoever Ahmya and Ren report to.

"You're fucking useless. I don't understand why Shigaraki chose you to be the fucking second spy." Ahmya smashed her palm into her forehead. "All Might wasn't born with a quirk. He was nothing until that stupid bitch, Shimura Nana, gave him One For All. We know he's passed it on to someone else, but we don't fucking know who. You're supposed to be finding this out. We let you play with your little friends every day after school, and you're dating that damn earphone chick. Why can't you get us anything?"

"There's not much to tell." Denki's voice has gotten quiet due to Ahmya's insults. "I can't get any of the information you're looking for. I don't know who he gave it to."

"Get out of my face you worthless trash!" It was time for Denki to head to school anyways. "Find us some decent information, or you're going to regret it."

Denki practically runs out of the house. She doesn't want to be there any more than she has to be.

At school, Denki tries talking to Kyoka to lift her spirits up, but the other girl isn't paying much attention to her. She really hasn't paid Denki much attention since the USJ incident, when Kacchan had made sure he got to Hitoshi to help him calm down.

"You okay, Denks?"

Denki practically jumps out of her skin from the surprise. "Don't scare me like that, Toshi."

She turns to see a mischievous grin on the purple haired boy's face. "I have no idea what you mean."

Denki chuckles a little. She could never be upset around Hitoshi, not when the boy only ever showed his sillier side around her. She just couldn't resist the urge to smile any time she was in his presence.

"Seriously, Denks. What's up? You're not normally this gloomy." She can't hide anything from him. He will always be able to tell when she's upset.

"The insults at home just keep getting worse." Denki shrugs as if it's nothing. "I wanted to spend some time with Kyoka today too, but she's ignoring me. She has been since the USJ."

Hitoshi sighs and tugs their friend closer to them, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. No matter how much it hurts for them to see Denki looking at the purple haired girl the way they wish she would look at them, Hitoshi can't help but console the blonde. "Have you tried asking her what's wrong?"

Denki sighs. "Every time I try, she disappears as soon as she notices me coming."

Hitoshi hates seeing their friend so upset, but they don't know what to do to make her feel better. Wishing she would look at them the way she looks at Jirou won't help the blonde any.

The two friends chat through lunch, trying to get Denki's mind off of anything that's bothering her. By the time lunch is over, she's smiling ear to ear, making Hitoshi very happy to see that he could help her get back to her usual self. Hitoshi only wishes the time they had with Denki was longer. Lunch and after school training just wasn't enough time with the blonde.

After lunch, Denki heads to the bathroom on the way to class having forgotten to go during lunch. She isn't paying enough attention to her surroundings, though, and she walks into the girls bathroom by accident. She freezes when she realizes where she is, and as she turns to leave the room and head to the boy's bathroom, she sees something that absolutely breaks her heart. Hiding in the corner by the door is her girlfriend, Kyoka, and she's wrapped around Yaoyorozu, their lips pressed together, very obviously making out.

Tears fill Denki's eyes as she runs out, forgetting that she needs to use the restroom. That doesn't matter at the moment, nothing does. Some kind of instinct leads her hurried steps to Shouta's nap room. She doesn't think, just slams the door open and curls into a ball on the couch in the room.

Shouta is confused when Kaminari doesn't show up to class after lunch. Normally, the bright child comes in around the same time as Katsuki and his group of friends, but as he scans the room, there's absolutely no sign of her. He's worried because it isn't normal for Kaminari to skip class, and he can only hope that it doesn't have anything to do with the villains who adopted her.

As soon as All Might comes in to start the class, Shouta passes the class off to him so that he can go look for Kaminari.

"One of the students didn't show up after lunch. I'm going to go find her. We'll meet you at Training Ground Alpha."

All Might shakes his head. "I don't see any of the girls missing." he glances around the classroom. "The only student missing is missing.is Kaminari. To be honest, I don't understand why you all cater to his delusions of thinking he can change gender from day to day. He was born a boy, so he will always be a boy."

"I can't even begin to explain how wrong you are," Shouta says, glancing over to Katsuki's glowering face. He'll leave telling the number one hero off to his students. He's more concerned with Kaminari's whereabouts and why she didn't make it to class.

Just as he's about to start his search, his phone starts ringing. Without paying attention, he answers it, and hears his husband's voice on the other end telling him to head to the nap room. Hizashi comments that he found one of Shouta's students in there, so Shouta heads there immediately to find Kaminari curled up on the couch.

I'm sorry for how long it's been. This chapter feels a bit rushed and forced because I was struggling with the plot for it for while. Hopefully the next chapter will be better.
