Can't Save Me Now (Villain Deku AU)

Chapter 20

Bakugo's POV

I was preparing silently in my dorm room. It was the next day, so I could hear the extras scrambling to get to school in time.

My plan was to wait for everyone to leave, and then to talk with them. Nothing much, I just wanted something to feel normal in my life.

To feel like everything was like it was, even though that would never happen. I just wanted something to be familiar before I had to explain everything.

I knew that they would never look at me the same, knowing that I was too selfish to keep them from becoming villains.

They would hate me.

They would shun me.

But reconnecting with Izuku and Himiko might make something feel okay in this world of terrible and worse.

I just wanted my siblings back, and now they were here. It would be a waste to not reconnect before we were judged out of U.A. 

School would start soon, and knowing Mina and Kaminari, they would be around fifteen minutes late, so I could leave my dorm in around half an hour, with no chance of running into anyone.

It would be terrible if I ran into someone extremely late for classes, or not even attending. It would be so awkward.

How would I explain it? "Hey, I was just going to talk to my official unofficial siblings. What about you?" 

I sighed, looking at my phone again. Twenty-eight minutes left. All students should have left, maybe if I was lucky I wouldn't run into anyone.

I had to maximize my time, because I knew that everyone would be bombarding me with questions left and right once they got back.

Including Aizawa-sensei. 

It was so much worse that my teacher caught me hugging them, soon the entire staff team would know.

Aizawa-sensei always struck me as the kind that would gossip behind our backs. He would pretend he didn't care, so we would slip up.

Twenty-five. 

That was it, I was just so tired of waiting, that I decided that if I ran into anyone, I would blast them to school.

I was going to take the risk.

-----

I didn't run into anyone, sadly. It was truly a shame, I was in the mood to blow something up. Whether that be a person or not.

I stood in front of their door, the guards unlocked it, and I stepped it. 

Izuku and Himiko were sitting on their beds, in the plainest fucking room on Earth. Were they allergic to color or something?

I pulled the door shut behind me, and flashed a weak smile over to them. They returned it hesitantly. 

Himiko pulled me over to Izuku's bed, and I was sandwiched between them as they hugged me and I hugged back.

"I just wanted to talk. For something to feel normal." I didn't know how this was going to go, I had barely spoken to them in years.

"A few weeks ago, Himiko landed in a trash can after we were running away from some pros. I couldn't catch their names, though." Izuku started, recounting the memory.

Himi slapped his arm. "At least I didn't start fanboying when we ran into Kamui Woods. It was so awkward!"

He scoffed, "Kamui Woods is a very interesting new hero. He recently stepped into the scene and has already accomplished a lot, including-" 

He was cut off by me putting my hand over his mouth. "I'm not in the mood for one of your trademark mutterstorms." 

We were like that for a few moments, maybe hours. Just recounting stories and laughing at the chaos they caused.

It was a nice change of pace.

Until Izuku said something that truly shocked me. I mean I was bamboozled, flabbergasted, shocked. 

"Remember when we gave Eri glitter, and our room sparkled for days, maybe weeks?" He laughed a bit, before remembering her death.

"Eri?" I asked, obviously confused.

Eri was the nice young girl Aizawa-sensei unofficially adopted after rescuing her from some villain. 

Wait, what villain was that? I wasn't there at the attack, but we were told who it was, weren't we? 

Wait, they rescued her from Overhaul!

"Oh yeah, you never met her. Eri was our younger sister, our Sperm Donor said that she died after one of our missions." 

I decided to bring this up with Aizawa-sensei when I explained, it would be nice to have a full family reunion.

I could only respond with an "Oh" before they moved on to other things. But I was only half-listening to them.

I was already planning the reunion.

I was already planning the dreaded explanation.

"Hey guys, would it be alright if I explained everything? I don't want you guys to have to do that." They both looked at me for a few moments.

"If that's what you really want to do, then we won't stop you." Himiko said, giving me a reassuring hug.

"Thanks guys." We sat in silence for a few moments before continuing with a very heated discussion about whether or not Eraserhead could erase Hagakure's quirk.

"He can't erase mutant quirks, so he won't be able to." Izuku pulled the 'research' card on Himi before she could think of anything.

"Is invisibility considered a mutant quirk?" She retorted, obviously losing the argument. You can't argue with Izu about quirks or heroes, he'll obviously win.

"She can't do it herself, so yes. Would the frog girl be able to rid herself of the frog? No, so she's in the same class as Hagakure who can't rid herself of the invisibility." 

"First off, you make a good point. Second off, you sound like an essay." Himi was desperately trying to think of something to say back.

"But it gets the point across, so I shan't change it." He was really leaning into the essay thing then. 

"But her quirk makes her invisible, therefore she should have a look underneath the invisibility, underneath the quirk. Therefore, Eraserhead could erase it."

"Hagakure herself can't, maybe with enough training she could, but it's a mutant quirk so Eraserhead can't erase it." Izu pulled out a knife from under his shit.

"Woah there! Put the fucking knife away!" I commanded, he grumbled a bit but he complied and sadly did it.

We talked for a few more hours, and before I realized it, the class had come back.

It was time to explain.
