Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

Always

Your POV 

Using Lady Nagant's information, we found the mansion and were about to raid it with a group of pros. Izuku and I stood at the front, a hard glare on our faces as we looked at the mansion. 

"Good luck," Hawks' voice called over the radio, "Let's put an end to this tonight."

"Be on your guard," Best Jeanist warned.

Edgeshot added, "We have no idea what trap might be inside."

Izuku started walking towards the building, me close behind. "Wait, Deku, Lifeline, don't be reckless," Endeavor called after us. But we didn't reply, just kept walking towards the ominous mansion.

When we reached the doors with the pros behind us, I threw them open. Stepping inside, I saw no one. I breathed a slight sigh and pulled my hood even lower over my face as I began using my quirk to see if the place really was empty.

"It's empty. Can't say I'm shocked," Endeavor spoke.

Suddenly, All for One's voice rang out, breaking my concentration. I whipped around, only to see a radio sitting on a nearby bench, "Izuku Midoriya, Y/N Aizawa, I do hope you enjoyed your heart-to-heart with the lovely Lady Nagant." A projection of a recording began playing, showing All for One, slowly clapping. "If you're seeing this, it means she relayed my instructions, and I remain a step ahead of you. I knew righteous children such as yourselves would never abandon a lost soul like her." I clenched my jaw as my eyes narrowed at the screen. He was planning on using her like a bomb that whole time. "But she acted of her own free will. I didn't force her. Do you know what the world calls those who face setbacks? Villains. People are quick to praise individualism, but in truth, this is a regulated society. Those who don't fit in are ostracized. Democracy. Socialism. This prejudice exists across every ideal. It's a byproduct of group living that predates the concept of 'society'. The path you've chosen is a thorny one. Every fight will wear at you, until there's nothing left. While I was imprisoned, I spent countless hours thinking about the two of you. I'm afraid I'm not interested in All Might anymore. I've grown bored of that pitiful oaf. Which means now, it's your turn."

I was absolutely seething at this point, but I didn't have time to do much about it. The small device began to glow, indicating an explosion. I quickly threw a shield in front of everyone to block us from the explosion. It was powerful, and I could only stop the direct blast, meaning that the building was still collapsing. 

I held my hand up, creating an energy shield to hold off the collapse. "Hurry up!" I grunted, "I don't know how long I can hold this!"

Everyone began running out the door as fast as they could, leaving me holding up most of the floor above us with my shield and my enhanced strength. My knees shook violently as I began to bend from the weight. Not to mention that most of it was on fire and getting closer to me.

Suddenly, the familiar ropes of Black Whip wrapped around me. I dropped the shield and was yanked out of the building just before it collapsed. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Izuku, "Thanks," I breathed, receiving a nod in return. 

The heroes all went to regroup at a safe location, while Izuku and I went somewhere else with All Might. We were standing there for not even 15 seconds when I sensed a presence behind us. My quirk had been activated the whole time. I didn't want to let anyone get the chance to get close. 

I whipped around, seeing a man standing there pointing a gun at Izuku. "Get down!" I shouted. The two men did what I had said, making the man's focus shift to me. I focused on the particles of gunpowder in the bullet and felt the familiar heat rising from my gut to my skin. Then, boom, his gun exploded, knocking him back onto the ground. I ran over, wrapping him up in my capture scarves. He was burned from the explosion, and his face was bleeding from the shrapnel that had been blown back. "Why don't you give us a second," I spoke lowly and threateningly, my eyes wide as I stared at the man.
