Hero | Katsuki Bakugo

Hosu Fuckin City

I had taken the days leading up to the departure for internships off, we had gone in two days ago to get me fitted for hearing aids and were going back today to pick them up. The night it happened, when we got home and saw Katsuki on the porch, he spent the night with me. Hawks had to leave, and had texted the angry blond to take his place for the night. My parents didn't fight it, Katsuki sitting in the silence with me all night while I tossed and turned. Shigaraki wasn't found that night, my danger sense hasn't gone off since it happened. 

My friends were gone for the week, leaving me here to wallow in self pity as I waited for the doctor to put the damn things in my ears. Toshinori was signing with me, saying that I should continue my little vacation from life. I shook my head, once I had these damn aids I'd be back in my suit until school started up again. I had gotten used to school, enjoying the training and even seeing some of my favorite people throughout the day. Mina has been texting the group chat she made with all of us girls a lot, they talk about boys and being a hero and typical girl shit. They had even asked me if I liked anyone, saying a quick 'no' and ending it there. I had texted Katsuki and Izuku a couple times, Jeanist responding for Katsuki to me and telling me to stop being a distraction or he'd tell my father. Izuku said Gran Torino was old and senile, but I knew the hero was far from that statement.

The doctor returned, placing the semi uncomfortable plastic pieces in my ears. It took a few minutes, the ringing deafening everything before I turned to Toshinori.

"Can you hear me now?" He asked, I nodded my head quickly. I smiled wide at the doctor and thanked him a thousand times before getting ready to leave. 

"Reports of Stain today, maybe they'll finally catch the bastard," Toshinori said as we drove home.

"Hopefully, maybe i'll catch him myself!" I was ecstatic, wanting to jump back into hero work. Toshinori sighed, wanting to shut down my ideas quickly when my head snapped to the phone sitting in my lap. It was pretty late in the day now, maybe around 8 o'clock. Izuku had sent me his location, I waited for him to say something else but nothing ever came. 

We sat at a red light, I quickly unbuckled my seat belt. I put the suit on before opening the door and jumping out before Toshinori could protest. I heard him call for my name, but I let the honking cars drown it out. He could be mad at me later, something was wrong. I ran for a bit, weaving through people so I could build enough energy to get me to Hosu as soon as possible. I felt the energy surge through me, using it to get me up into the air as I used my webs to launch me forward. I arrived in record time, finding myself in an alley. Izuku, Ida and Shoto were on the ground. Another hero next to Ida, unconscious. Stain stood at the end of the alley, getting ready to attack before he noticed me now in front of my friends.

"Ah, why if it isn't The Spider. So great to have you here!" He called out to me, I was still getting used to the slight ringing from the aids. I didn't budge, I didn't listen to the protests from Izuku as he told me to step down, that Stain was too strong.

"Why are you not with your assigned heroes!" I called over my shoulder, I was mad at them for this. This shit was dangerous, Stain was dangerous, even I knew that! The boys fumbled over their words, trying to come up with a good reason.

Stain rushed towards me, raising his blade and swinging heavily as I dodged the attack. I put myself behind him, kicking him in his back and sending him down the alley. He recovered quickly, coming towards me again. I kept dodging, building up the energy by stepping lightly between feet like I was jogging in place. Izuku was up quickly, meaning he had Type O blood, the kind Stain couldn't control. Stain turned his attention to Izuku, going at him with his blade held high once again. I rushed forward, pushing him back and out of the way as I barely stepped back. The blade grazed my torso, cutting me a bit.
