Freezing Flames

The outrageous order

Kazuya's pov

"IT CAN'T BE!!"

The words left my mouth before I could stop them.

The league was shocked. Probably because it was the first time they had actually heard me speak.

"So the young lady talks." Compress spoke, impressed.

"Wait! If she could talk all along, then why didn't she tell me that I could have her blood!?"

"Probably because she didn't want to." Magne replied.

I tried to force back the tears threatening to spill from my eyes. If I started crying, my vision would go frosty. But I held back from making anymore noise.

Instead, I blasted them with a wave of ice flames. But it was unstable from the emotional shock I had experienced. Dabi was easily able to counter it with his flames.

But as the tiny explosion died down, I could see that his expression was reluctant.

"Now that Dabi is here, our luck shall return!" Compress  commented happily.

MEAOW!!!!

Mochi's screech started me, and the league. He ran upto my leg and began pulling desperately at my boots.

"What's wrong with the little kitty?" Toga asked sympathetically, taking a step forward.

"Don't go near her Toga!" Spinner yelled. "You could get caught in another ice attack!"

"Idiot. Look more closely Spinner." Shigaraki scolded with a grin. "All this while, Oyama has only used physical attacks and skills to assassinate us. She only used her quirk twice. That means her power takes a toll on her body! If she had wanted to kill us, why didn't she just rapidly blast is with ice flames? We got her now!"

He lunged for me. It wasn't surprising that Shigaraki discovered my weakness. But what really tormented me was the familiar looking flame user. His blue eyes. I couldn't ever forget them. But I had a mission to carry out.

"You try to attack her boss, and you'll definitely lose those hands. She'll slice them off in a blink." Dabi sneered.

I had prepared for something like this, and wrenched out two thermal-conductor gloves. I had learnt to put them on at high speeds. The numbness in my hands started to fade away, from the comforting heat. The second I could move, I reached behind me and tossed two sharp blades right at Shigaraki. It caught him off guard but he was able to stumble out of the way.

Falling on his behind, he breathed hard. Cursing.

"Support gear, I should of known!"

The rest of the league moved to attack me, except for Dabi, who still looked disturbed and confused.

Mochi jumped in front of me and gave out a veneamos hiss. It was so loud that the league stopped for a second.

Just then, my phone rang. It was the president. Instinctively, I ducked behind a wooden box and took the call.

"Oyama. Change of plans. Your teammate Stega-Vic just implanted a bomb in the vicinity."

The information hit me like a brick.

"Wait! But I'm still-"

"Do what you can to get out. You have one minute! But this way, even the league won't expect it! Good luck She-devil. It's been a blessing having you on the team."

"How could you-!"

The line went dead.

Now I really felt like crying. It's bad enough that my deadbeat father sees me as a failed experiment. But now the safety commission sees me as nothing but a dispensable tool!
