The Seizing Hand [mha x gn!reader] (Villain Deku AU)

20; Sports festival 4/5

After Iida's match, I decided to go look for Uraraka, since I was expecting her to come back, but she never did.

I quickly found her talking with Iida in the prep room and she seemed nervous. She confessed it was about her fight with Bakugo coming up. I then remember I had brought Izuku's notebook with me and had left it in my bag. I walked over to my bag, which was sitting against the wall, and brought out the notebook. I then walked back over to where Ochako and Iida were.

"Here, Uraraka, there are some pages in here about Bakugo that Izuku wrote down, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you using the-"

"No thanks..."

I and Iida both shared glances at each other, surprised by her decline.

"I feel that I need to do this on my own... Plus, I feel like that's cheating."

"Wha- How is it cheating?"

"I don't know. Just feels like it. Like, you already got an entire book about quirks and stuff, so you're prepared, and it's not even mine so-"

"Well... Well, Izuku entrusted me with it, so I'll allow you to read it. It's not cheating if I approve of it."

"No, it's ok. Plus, I want to win this with my own plan and my own info."

She then got up from where she sat and began walking out the door. But she turned around, giving us one last thumbs-up with a shaky smile and voice.

"See you two in the next round."

She lost. As devastating as it was, her plan was smart and unique. To try and attack from above with all those pieces of cement was amazing and risky. And you have to love it.

I went down to the prep room once again, as my next fight was coming up soon. I then found Ochako in the prep room, she had only a bandage on her face, as she looked down at her gym uniform in a bag. Once she noticed I had come through the door, she turned her head around and smiled at me.

"Guess I lost."

"Are... Are you ok?"

I walked up to her whilst talking, worried for her. She seemed ok; she was smiling.

"I'm good! Well, I'm healing bit by bit, so my stamina doesn't get drained. Just these little scrapes left."

She then brought her fist up in front of her, and a sarcastic pouty expression then appeared on her face.

"But darn it! Bakugo is just too strong. I couldn't put a scratch on him. Guess I just gotta try harder next time!"

Her sarcasm seemed very forced. Of course, she would be secretly upset, losing is never something easy to get through.

"Maybe if I read Izuku's notes, I could've thought of a better plan-"

"No, no! Your plan was amazing and original. I never would've thought you would've done that. Even though you lost, that fight was still awesome. You had a lot of determination and that is what I'm guessing is what drove you. You'll make a great hero someday, I know it."

She looked at me. Unknowing of what to say. That was until the speaker went on, Present Mic revealed the next fight was going to begin. Mine.

Uraraka then finally said something after our odd pause of silence.

"Sorry, for taking your time. But I do hope you do great with your fight. Do better than me. Ok?"

"Ochako-"

"No. Go. Before it's too late."

I looked at her. She was on the verge of tears, but I couldn't be late, so I headed out, giving her one last piece of advice, before shutting the door behind me.
