When the Days are Dark

Chapter 14

Bakugou stood up quickly, knocking you out of his lap. "How the hell did you let them TAKE izuku!?" Bakugou questioned the brutally injured man. Iida held his head down, too ashamed and now humiliated to even speak a word. "Forget it," Bakugou hissed, pushing Iida aside, "We're gonna go get him back."

"Now?" Yaoyorozu chimed in. "No, tomorrow." Bakugou sarcastically said. He was heated. Not thinking clearly. Someone had to say something, but nearly everyone dared not to. Knowing his temper is just as bad as a blow from his fists is painful.

Choosing her words wisely, Momo decided to speak. "We can't just rush into this. Maybe we should negotiate with them? They took him for a reason, right?" Momo added skittishly, "We should avoid aggravating Monoma." she said, trying to stop Bakugou from acting foolishly. She's often the voice of reason for times like these.

"Or what? He's gonna beat my ass?" Bakugou sneered.

"No! I'm just saying we should take a more civil approach to this situation. How about you let someone else lead? Let uh... Kirishima go talk to him, yeah?" Yaoyorozu suggested, pushing Kirishima ahead. "Maybe he can convince Monoma to give us Deku."

Bakugou was hesitant but soon agreed to it. To be fair, Kirishima is sort of a teddy bear. "Alright. But I want everyone to come, just in case..."

"What about Eri?" Mina questioned, pointing to the small child who was now neatly stacking the papers she knocked down. Bakugou grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and held her up. "Iida can stay with her," He stated. The four-eyed man frowned but quickly took on his duty as a babysitter. It was a bit humiliating, but he wouldn't dare retaliate. Iida slowly walked away, "I'll be in the kitchen if needed."

"You won't be." Bakugo retorted, setting down Eri so she could follow. Everyone watched silently as the two went on. You opened your mouth of course, "Bakugou, aren't you a bit hard on him? You're being shitty towards him for something that's not even his fault." You said.

"'He failed me. He failed us all... If I knew he couldn't handle a weakling, I wouldn't have sent him at all. I'm disappointed." He said. Bakugou walked out of his room, harshly pushing through the few people standing in front of him.

"Come on," he demanded, wanting the others to follow him. He was walking quickly, cursing under his breath. He was quickly getting frustrated with this situation. "Okay, look. We're going to make a plan right now-"

"You should wait til you've calmed down to think clearly," Mina spoke up, placing a hand on his shoulder. Bakugou paused, turning to face Mina. "Are you telling me what to do?"

He gripped her wrist, tight enough to break if she even struggled to be released. "Ow.. no! I was just saying-"

"You're just saying what? You think I'm unfit to make decisions for MY gang!? Listen, everyone-" Bakugou glared at everyone, including you. It felt like daggers being stabbed straight through you. "We're not friends. Don't talk to me like we're on some buddy-buddy type shit. I'm above you! This is a business and I am your boss!" he yelled.

He let go of Mina, basically throwing her aside. Even you began to think he was being a bit much. "Kirishima-" his eyes darted to the red-haired boy. "You talk to Monoma. Your job is to convince him to give us Deku or tell us his whereabouts."

Bakugou flipped over the couch, revealing multiple machine guns. "Why are there guns under the couch?" Kaminari asked. "Thought it was a fun hiding place," Bakugou answered, sarcastically. He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Karminari, chuckling a bit before putting it down. You grabbed Kaminari by the arm.
