Inseparable Bonds

New Weapon

When they got back to the bar, all three were chained to the wall, because Midoriya got his memories back. This time, they were all on different walls, and the chains hurt more than usual.

"How did that brat get his memories back?!" Shiggy yelled, obvious anger filling his voice, and flooding his eyes.

The boys looked at one another. They weren't sure themselves. They all guessed it had something to do with Aizawa sensei erasing his quirk. When he started to use his quirk, Midoriya jumped back, and emotion started to fill in his eyes. They didn't want to voice this unless they had to. It would mean that Aizawa sensei would suffer with them, and the class would be left with no one to teach them.

"We didn't want to voice this yet." Twice said, his hands behind his back, "But we have ways to make you talk. I'm sure that all of you will try to fight me, but I'd recommend against it." He moved one arm in front of him. Nothing. When he moved his hand closer to Midoriya, Midoriya started to freak out. When Bakugo saw it, he started freaking out too.

Todoroki was the last to see it, but he knew exactly what it was when he laid eyes on it. His eyes filled with fear, as he tried to back up into the wall behind him. They boys watched as his tough guy persona switched to a totally different persona. Both of them feared this guy. They didn't like this guy. They wanted the other guy back.

"How did you-"

"Simple." Shiggy walked over to Midoriya, and put three fingers under his chin, making Midoriya flinch, and pulled up, forcing Midoriya to look at him. "Your little attack this afternoon was just a distraction. We needed everyone away from the dorm room that they gave you, because that's where your notebooks were. Now that we have them, we can finally show society that the heroes they rely on aren't as heroic as they seem."

The boys growled, almost as if it were planned. The fight hurt their friends. Todoroki blocked Aizawa-sensei from using his quirk because he was told to, but also because he didn't have all the information of the fight. Bakugo came out, and blew up the ice so they could move around like normal again.

"Do you know how injured they are now?! I didn't catch a glimpse of Iida, nor Kendo, but Kirishima looked terrible!" Midoriya started crying, "I hurt people. Kirishima stopped me from killing Kendo, from what I hear. I've heard that Uraraka stopped me from completely killing Kirishima. I've heard that All Might stopped me before I could kill Iida. Aizawa stopped me before I seriously hurt All Might. Who knows how many people could've died at my hands. WHY ARE YOU SACRIFICING MY FRIENDS FOR YOUR WORK?!"

Bakugo and Todoroki looked at their usually calm friend, sure he was crying like usual, but he hardly ever yelled. Except when he was fighting Bakugo during Hero Basic Training.

"I wouldn't yell like that." Shiggy said calmly. He put his hand on Midoriya's forehead, making Midoriya flinch again and start to shake violently, and continued talking. "It's true, I am using that class of yours for bait, but I'm using it as my lever over you three."

Todoroki and Bakugo took a turn flinching this time. The memory of Midoriya's screaming echoed through their brains. They both looked at Midoriya. He was still shaking, and his eyes were squeezed shut, because Shiggy hadn't removed his hand. Bakugo had it.

"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF DEKU!!" Bakugo hollered.

Shiggy turned around, removing his hand. Midoriya exhaled, and scooted closer to the wall, despite it seeming impossible, and continued to shake lightly. Shiggy slowly walked over to Bakugo, and grabbed his shirt. With all five fingers. His shirt slowly crumbled, turning into dust.

Toga squealed. Shigaraki turned and shot her a glare, and in return, he got a giddy giggle. A small whimper came from Midoriya, as he buried his head into his knees.

This angered his friends to the point that they no longer cared what happened to them. They just wanted him to be safe. Even Bakugo cared. He wanted to prove to Deku that he was better than him, while he was alive.

Todoroki didn't want Midoriya to have to go through the same things he did growing up. If only one of them wasn't there. They could switch him out.

By now, both boys had figured out that Kiri was free. It also helped that Midoriya talked about attacking him. This meant they could fight back, and have no punishment. (Are you sure about that? 🤨)

"Move. Your. Dirty. Hands. Away. From. Me." Bakugo growled. He thrust his head forward, almost biting Shiggy. Shiggy jerked his hand away, brushing against the chains. Again, with all five fingers. The chains fell away, and Bakugo was free, his quirk usable again.

Todoroki looked around. The villains were hesitating, which meant they knew exactly what he could do, and he would do it. Bakugo smiled. He couldn't save Kiri from Deku, but he could save Deku from these bastards.

The hesitant time the villains spent looking at Bakugo was enough time for Todoroki to get the quirk canceling cuffs off. While he wasn't exactly sure that the villains had no leverage over them, he wanted to play it safe, so he kept his hands behind his back.

"I'm going to say this once." Bakugo growled. "What did you guys do to Deku?!"

Everyone looks at the screen. "I gave him a few extra quirks. Being born without one, I wasn't expecting him to fight back. I thought that's what he wanted." AFO reported calmly.

Midoriya turned bright red, but no one saw, and he buried his head even further into his knees. How did he know? I never even told mom how I got my quirk. Why I got my quirk. How much more did this guy know about me? About my friends? He thought.

Bakugo looked down. Of course the boss would know. He knew who to use over leverage for these three. What else did he know?

"While we're on the topic of quirks," AFO continued, "Shoto may need some adjustments."

The villains looked at Todoroki. Dabi looked down. He bent down, and placed the quirk canceling cuffs back on, and "accidentally" jabbed his elbow into Todoroki's back.

The grimace from Todoroki told Bakugo everything. He slowly walked over to Dabi, and actually stood up tall when he got to Dabi. A few explosions were set off, and the chains holding Todoroki fell off, and the quirk canceling quirks were now off... again.

Todoroki jumped up, having no interest in getting chained to the wall again. Midoriya looked up. His friends had managed to get out of the chains. Yet, as soon as he started to struggle, to attempt, the villains had grabbed his shoulders, forcing him to stop. The strike back had started.
