TWO POWERS (Todoroki Shoto x Reader)

Chapter 11: Gone

All Might just blasted the bird monster out of USJ and is now stalling for time. You can tell he's at his limit and any movement could cause him to transform to his smaller version. If that happens, his secret will be revealed to the whole world. You can't let that happen. You're not ready to become the next symbol of peace.

"There's no reason for us to fight now, he'll handle this," Todorki tells everyone. You see the slender man with arms charge towards All Might. Fearless, you propel yourself to the scene and put yourself between All Might and the Arms-man within a second. Not having practiced throwing punches and the timing being critical here, you quickly decide to unleash an air-force attack by flicking your fingers, hoping to create an effect just like you had experienced during All Might's fight. The recoil of the attack is more than you could anticipate and you fly back. Then you hear six gunshots. Bang. Bang-bang. Bang-bang-bang.

You raise yourself sitting and see the small version of All Might do the same. You are surrounded by smoke, and once it clears All Might's secret will be exposed.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you, right?" you ask.

"No, I'm fine. How are you? Are you hurt?"

You turn your attention to your body. Your fingers feel swollen and are pulsing and there's a hot, achy feeling in your right upper arm. You shake your head.

"That's great. The others looked fine too."

"But what about you?"

"No, I'm fine. I'm just glad everyone seems to be safe."

You look over to the plaza and see the purple mist disappear along with the Arm-man. You're safe. The threat is over.

"Go now, Young Tsukauchi. I'm sure your classmates will be happy to see you."

"What about you?"

"The rest of the teachers already about my limits. I need you to go on ahead with your classmates. But it won't be long. I don't think I'll be able to do hero work for long now. That Nomu took too much out of me."

"I'm sorry I let you down, All Might."

"You weren't holding me up so you couldn't have done anything to let me down, Young Tsukauchi. Thank you for jumping in back there, I would have been a goner."

You smile at him and he smiles back. Then you walk through the mist and see your classmates up ahead, waiting for you. You can tell by everyone turning their heads towards you and looking a bit happier. Kirishima looks thrilled and is waving to you.

You wave back and notice that your hand appears to be fine. A rumbling behind you makes your shoulders tense out of surprise. You turn and see that you've been separated from All Might with a wall of cement. "We'll take care of the injured. Those who are uninjured should gather in front of the building," Cementoss says.

He doesn't have to tell you twice. You join your classmates and make your way up to the exit. Bakugou and Kirishima are bantering ahead while Todoroki and you follow them at a safe distance. Police officers are pouring in to capture the unconscious villains.

"Your power feels a lot like All Might's," Todoroki suddenly drops his observation on you.

Your heart skips a beat in a bad way. Keeping your cool, you try to play it off. "Oh, you can feel people's powers? That's kinda amazing."

"Yeah. They're very similar."

You don't know what to reply. After a bit of silence he adds, "So, Tsukauchi, tell me, are you like All Might's secret love child or something?"

"Haa?" you reply in surprise. "No, not at all! But thanks. I'll take it as a compliment."

You make it outside, joining the rest of your classmates who are discussing All Might's fight or their teleport locations. There are police cars and police officers scattered around the front and inside the building, along with a few ambulances. As per someone's instructions, you line up with the rest of your class for a roll call. You can see villains being escorted out in handcuffs. The one who came to check your presence was none-other than your dad.
