Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

Good Vs. Evil

Your POV

Izuku and I walked up to the abandoned parking lot, seeing Aoyama standing there with a phone. We slowly made our way over, putting our acting skills to the test.

"I appreciate you coming," he said.

"Aoyama," Izuku replied, "Why are you here?"

I nodded in agreement, adding, "I thought you were at the police station."

"My parent's lawyer got me released for the moment," he answered quietly.

Izuku's eyes widened as he continued, "We'll go tell the others. You can join one of our search parties-"

"Wait!" We stopped, turning to hm curiously. "I think we should talk alone first." We didn't move, listening to him as he talked. "It's kinda funny. The courts are still in session even though everything's crumbling. Maybe people are clinging to the old ways as long as they can before this way of life ends."

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"Would you like for me to tell you All for One's true goal? Our country is in a terrible place which has caused problems for the rest of the world. The value of the yen suddenly tanked. Many Japanese companies are declaring bankruptcy. Meanwhile, villains everywhere are getting more bold. Whole nations are collapsing. Humanity is in a panic like it was in the Great Depression, or when quirks first appeared. Unemployment's climbing worldwide, currency is worth nothing, panic reigns."

I looked at his defeated features, frowing as I replied, "I don't get why you're telling us this right now, Aoyama."

"When states loose the ability to enforce laws and policies, people struggle to survive. War and poverty run rampant. Soon, countries everywhere will abandon each other because they need to prioritize their own safety. Imagine if a forsaken country was ravaged by drought, and some appeared with a wuirk that could create drinking water, or electricity, or gas, or raw power. As the earth slips further into anarchy, the stage is prepared for one unrivaled opportunist to take initiative and assume control over all that exists. He will be crowned the demon lord. A single terrible event is all it will take. Our world will fall off balance."

"That sounds bad," Izuku replied, "But you're wrong. People wouldn't allow that to happen. And besides, we're still here defending Japan."

"I know. That's why you're here. This can't be allowed to keep going. I'm sorry... I had no choice," his eyes watered as All for One appeared behind him, "I want to protect Papa and Mama."

My eyes widened with fear as I took a step back, shouting, "No! You didn't!"

"Excellent job my conniving little star," All for One clapped, "I imagine you were scared to betray your friends. It can be so distressing to have someone put their faith in you and all. Your fortitude is impressive. And the speech about my ultimate goal was admirable, if not entirely accurate. Did your momy and daddy explain that?" Izuku and I activated our quirks, both ready to jump into action at any moment.

"They said things would be better," Aoyama replied as silent tears fell down his face, "That you promised we'd have happy lives in your new world."

I gritted my teeth as I shouted, "We trusted you!"

"Distressing? You can't imagine dear uncle. I won't betray my friends!" He spun around, shooting his navel laser at All for One. Of course, it had no effect on the man, but the distraction was perfect.

"You ungrateful worm," All for One growled lowly.

Izuku spoke to our friend confidently, "Your acting was crazy realistic, Aoyama."
