Leave It All Behind - Katsuki Bakugo x reader

Powerless

A/N: OKAY quick question not related to the story at all, what muscle group is the most aesthetically pleasing on guys. Someone asked me this the other day and I was like "Arms of course" but she acted like I was crazy cause I didn't say abs or back. But then we asked a guy friend, and he said chest, like... what's the right answer here!?

Aizawa took out villains left and right, utilizing his quirk, as well as his scarf. The students of class 1A desperately ran for the door to seek help. Moments later, you were stopped in your tracks from the cold purple mist from before.

"There is no escape for you, it's a pleasure to meet you, we are the league of villains, I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello, and isn't this a fitting place for All-might, the symbol of peace, to take his last breath?" it spoke, sending a terrible chill down your spine. How could something so intangible make you want to run away.

You couldn't tell what the objective was. Was he there to kill you student, distract thirteen while the villains handled your teacher, to scare you into staying back so Aizawa was further outnumbered. Would it spew more villains out at you to do the job, or could it possibly be no one in the building was the target. All Might maybe? But if that were the case, they'd have to be confident enough that they could kill him, because they weren't stupid if they were able to break into U.A. unnoticed.

Thirteen, jumping into action, tried their best to suck the mist villain up, but Bakugo and Kirishima, in the haste of the terrifying event, jumped in in front. You instinctively ran forward and tried your best to pull them back. A reflex gained from all the times your little brother had tried to run across a busy street. But you ended up failing, only slowing them down as they dragged you along into the action.

"You live up to your school reputation, but you should be more careful children, otherwise, someone might get hurt," The mist villain said, and if you could have seen his mouth, there's no doubt there would be a chilling smile on his face.

Your classmates screamed as the mist engulfed you, and you felt as if you were being dropped and compressed through a weak black hole. The darkness looked almost infinite as you were surrounded by nothingness, losing grip of the two boys you had tried to save. You couldn't see a thing, but the sensation of falling filled your body as there was nothing else to take in, then it all abruptly ended as you fell onto dense concrete, a searing pain filled your wrist as you found it trapped under your body.

Your face made solid contact with the concrete. Slowly, you picked yourself up, looking around at your surroundings. It looked to be an old, wrecked building. Confused, you stared at glassless window to your right. A shipwreck and a large dome in the distance. 

Then it all made sense. They sent you to separate parts of the building, but why? Wasn't their goal to keep you back and contained. Why let the heroes in training free? It all made sense again as footsteps approached from the other room.

You weren't alone, not even close. The voices accompanied by them got only louder, and taking no time to evaluate, you grabbed a piece of broken glass from the ground, planning to fight whatever was around the corner, however your guard lowered seeing who it really was.

Kirishima sighed in relief upon seeing your face, while Bakugo held his normal scowl. "I'd like to say this was their mistake but separating us like this was pretty smart of them," you sighed, holding your wrist in a desperate attempt to conceal the pain. It didn't work as Bakugo looked down, seeing the already swelled appendage. 

"The fuck is wrong with your-" he started to ask but was cut off as what you assumed to be villains moved in on you, blocking each entrance. Feeling your muscles tense and adrenaline begin to pump, you were ready to fight. 

The villains didn't have any exceptional quirks. Though getting hit a few times, you managed to bounce back, taking out what you could assume was five. While Bakugo and Kirishima fought a particularly tough group, you turned the corner to another room.

You had to admire their fearless style. Your hands shook each time you went to throw a punch, knowing the person you were hitting was likely much stronger. When they fought, you could tell they knew they'd win, but all you could do was hope. 

"Wait up (y/n)!" Kirishima yelled as you entered the other room. You paused for a second as you yelled something about sticking together. Deciding it was a smart idea you made the decision to retreat while you still could.

You turned towards the sound of Kirishimas voice, but your eyes widened, and heart nearly stopped as you were met face to face with a villain. Though she was small, she looked determined, although she didn't look to be more than twenty. Standing in at about 5 feet, fairly thin, and not backing any muscle, you knew you could take her on. 

"Don't move," she said, trying to play the intimidation card, but you could hear the shake in her voice. You stared back at her, but seeing a twitch of her muscle, you didn't dare waste a second jumping into action. Her quirk could be anything from a voice mimicker to acid spit, you didn't want to risk anything. 

Punching her in the face, you knocked her off balance, leading her to fall to the floor. Then, securing her, you rested your foot down on her face, pushing it into the ground. She grabbed your foot, trying to move it off, but you only applied more pressure as she struggled. Letting out loud yells and groan, you put more weight on. 

"Just shut the fuck up," you said sternly, hoping she would just listen, and there would be no un-needed conflict.

Then, she kicked your other leg out from under you. You fell to the ground as she swiftly sprung up, grabbing a knife from her waist belt and sitting on your chest. You immediately became dizzy and disoriented, and barely saw a thing as the knife came down towards your neck. 

Then, in a blur of red and blinding heat, she was knocked off by an explosion centering just inches from her face. Knocked out almost immediately, she flew to the other side of the room with a thud as her body hit the ground. 

"You're so fucking weak," Bakugo said. You stared in shock as he offered you a hand, but you took it, standing up and dusting yourself off as he scoffed. "Let's find a way out of this place," he said, walking past you and down a long hallway.

You, a bit shocked, jogged after the two. Bakugo showing an ounce of kindness was more shocking to you than the villain attack itself. 

Still, your face lit up as Kirishima beckoned you over, and the three of you left to join the action.

A/N: this chapter was pretty boring, but I had to separate it from the next one otherwise it'd be over 3,000 words long, which is no fun for anyone.
