QUIRKY! Vol. 3 (MHAxReader)

S5 Part 33 - This Is It

You almost vomited for real that time.

It took a couple spits to get the taste of the warping slime out of your mouth. It probably served the heroes but you really missed Kurogiri right about now.

You were dropped on all fours, fingers touching a cool, smooth surface. It was dark - even darker than it had been outside. Long tubes wormed all around you while a gentle hum of machines vibrated in your ears.

It was strangely quiet otherwise. You lifted your head only to regret it a second later.

A tall cylinder container filled with a glowing pink liquid illuminated the monster within. You recognized the mutilated appearance of a Nomu.

"The hell?" You pushed yourself up and staggered back.

"Boo."

A deep voice came inches behind you. Dabi had to duck to avoid getting swat by one of your giant bat wings.

"Didn't think you'd still get spooked, cupcake." He sneered. The scars on his neck and face reached a deeper purple in the dark lighting.

"You're right," you said, "Everything about this screams 'happy-fun-times'..."

His smirk was accompanied by a hungry look in his eyes, like his all-consuming fire. But you hadn't forgotten the last time you saw this bastard.

"Missed you," he said.

"Oh yeah?"

"Why the attitude? I didn't kidnap you this time."

A smile appeared on your face, but it was far from genuine. No... You only tried to burn me alive last time! Granted, Dabi's fire was aimed at Endeavor, but he hadn't given a rat's ass that you were in the way.

You got nice and close to Dabi before driving a fist into his gut. He was powerful but physically scrawny, so he flew back a few feet.

He let out a strained breath, which satisfied you greatly.

"The fuck?"

"I don't think you need an explanation," you said.

Suddenly, something cold was pressed against your neck. You smelled Toga's fruity perfume as she held her body against to yours from behind.

"That's not a nice way to greet your friends," Toga talked at your ear, "I guess you really have ditched us for the hottie with a bird body."

"Hi, Toga..."

She huffed. "Did you come to help or mess with us? I'll cut you either way... one will be more loving."

"Not now, Toga."

You carefully turned your neck as the knife was removed so see who spoke. Tomura lurked in the dark with one dead hand over his face. There was a split second of panic. Your heart just sped up painfully fast, like you hadn't expected to actually see him again.

"If she bleeds before we even get started she'll be of less use to me," Tomura said. His voice sounded drier than it ever had.

You noticed his clothes looked pretty ragged as well. His black jacket had small tares everywhere. The small areas of his exposed skin were so dry and beaten that they looked like they were about to decay like his quirk.

Spinner and Compress stood behind him looking bored (yes, somehow you could sense it from behind Compress' mask!) And Twice sprang out from behind them all. Wet splotches had stained the area around the eyes of his mask.

"(Y/N)! I knew you were a pal!"

He went so far as to grab both of your hands but the adoring gesture changed quickly. "Bitch, what took you so long!"
