Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

The Power of Righteous Anger

I'm gonna mark the trigger warnings on this chapter since it goes into some pretty detailed gore.

Your POV

He suddenly flipped me over so that I was pinned on my back. He straddled my torso as one hand wrapped around my throat. His grip wasn't tight enough to cut off my air supply completely, but it was firm enough to let me know he could easily snap my neck at a moment's notice.

"Y/N-!"

"I wouldn't if I were you," Shigaraki rasped, his voice pained and raspy, "One wrong move and I'll end her right now." There was total silence. Nobody dared move. My hands were wrapped around his wrist tightly as I tried to formulate a plan. Thankfully, he gave me time by monologuing. "You people. You heroes. In order to save strangers you don't know, you hurt those who love you. That's what my father said. I have a mission. Always have... Self-described heroes... You pretend to embody all that's good. Your kind is always the same, every generation. You pretend you don't see those you can't protect and cover up the pain you cause. Always thinking of yourselves as righteous. This world has grown so rotten, its infested with maggots. It happened little by little, but your mistakes added up. The coddled trash got used to being protected. While you took advantage of these so-called victims for your own profit.  Everything that I've ever known, everything in this world you built rejected me. But not now. I'm the one who's rejecting you. That is why I destroy. That is why I keep gaining power. Heh. Simple, isn't it? And yet you just don't understand. The fact that you don't get it is why we have heroes and villains."

I quickly tilted my head back to look at Endeavor and gave him a subtle glance with my eyes to Shigaraki. Telling him to shoot his flames. Without thinking twice, he sent a blast of flames at us. Shigaraki was so caught off guard by Endeavor's attack, that his hand loosened. I quickly used my super strength to rip his hand off of me and roll out of the way of the flames.

"Thanks for the break, I needed a little breather!" Endeavor taunted, "You're knocking at death's door, aren't you? That's good!"

Shigaraki then burst through the flames, a wide and sadistic smile on his face. I quickly stood up from the ground and moved back as Gran Torino launched his attack, slamming Shigaraki into the ground.

But Shigaraki rolled over and grabbed Gran Torino's boot and squeezing hard, making blood pour out of Gran Torino's leg. Shigaraki then slammed the man onto the ground, blood spurting from his lips upon impact. Endeavor, Katsuki, Midoriya, and I all ran to aid him.

But we weren't fast enough.

Shigaraki hit Gran Torino with a punch, driving him into the ground as more blood seeped from his body. Midoriya cried out as he ready himself to attack.

"Deku, no!" Endeavor shouted. But Midoriya ignored him. Shigaraki got up and barreled straight for Midoriya, but instead of attacking, he went right past him. My eyes drifted to where he was going, and my heart dropped. He was headed straight for my dad.

'Go faster!' I urged myself, using my blood to propel myself forward as fast as I could. Thankfully, Ryukyu came down and blocked him, but not without injury herself.

"Ryukyu!" My father shouted as Shigaraki's arm when straight through her dragon form's front leg. He went to hit her again, as well as remove his arm, but she grabbed him with her clawed hand first.

I took my chance and grabbed him by his neck and the top of his head. Midoriya aided me by holding him in place with Black Whip.

"Shigaraki! You're the one person... I can't forgive!" Midoriya shouted.
