Paralyze |Bakugou Katsuki x Male!Reader|

84

The air was tense, I could practically grip it. It was suffocating and the fire around us wasn't doing any good.

"I wasn't aware you would come..." His cold turquoise eyes looked at Endeavor, before they briefly looked my way, and a grin pulled his lips up, "Oh, (M/n) is here too," I clenched my jaw and closed my hands in fists when he called my name, "It's a shame we couldn't take you back then, you would've done great to the League..."

"Dabi..." Endeavor called out to him, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from his scarred face, holding his skin together with all those staples, "I heard you killed Snatch."

The smile was gone as he looked at Endeavor, "Sna...? Who?" I felt my anger rising as he dismissed killing a hero like that, "Forget about that, and let's talk since we now have the opportunity," out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the hero trying to stand up, only to fall on his knees once more.

"Endeavor-san, you should rest, I'll handle this," Hawks spoke and took a step in front of us, a way to try and protect us from Dabi, "I have these pathetic wings now, but I can buy us some time," I slightly shook my head and looked at Dabi through the strands of my hair over my face, hiding my eyes from him and I got ready to activate my quirk.

Dabi's grin returned, but it was different than the one before, his arms extended to his sides and tried to appear innocent, "There's no need to get aggressive! I just came to take that Nomu back, I can't possibly beat..." He tilted his head forward, hiding his face from us, and I activated my quirk, "The top heroes when they're this beaten up!"

I stopped his arms as he started to run our way, and the small blue flames that had covered his hands disappeared.

He looked at me and let out a sickening laugh, "That really is a wonderful quirk, (M/n)! Let's take you back to him-" Dabi barely got to take a single step forward, when I heard the sounds of an angry woman.

I didn't even get to look up as Mirko descended in between us, breaking the ground with her attack and forcing Dabi to back up. And I made sure to not look where I shouldn't.

"I jumped over the moment I saw the news!" Her body went up in the air and we were left on the ground to deal with the wind she had caused, "You're part of the League, aren't you? I'll crush you!"

My head throbbed from the pain and I had to close my eyes, looking away from Dabi, giving him the chance to move his arms again, "Just as it was getting good..." I blinked a few times, hoping that the bright light of the fire wouldn't make my head hurt more, and I saw Dabi holding the neck of his coat, "Ujiko-san..."

And there was a black goop coming out of his mouth.

"We'll see each other again, number one."

I opened my eyes the moment I felt my phone vibrate in my pants. Dabi's words continued to linger in my mind, "Don't you dare die, Todoroki Enji!"

The three of us had been taken to the hospital and were reciving medical treatment while also giving our testimonies to the police when they came by, thankfully, we managed to avoid the press for the time being.

A nurse was standing next to me, treating my burnt wounds, they were severe but thanks to his quirk, he said there would be only a rather faint scar, despite all the skin it had reached, although I was also covered in scratches, cuts caused by glass shards and bruises in various places, but nothing life-threatening.

"Why were you at the scene, kid?" The police officer's voice made me look up at her, and I remembered I was still being interrogated, I think she noticed my discomfort and pain, as she smiled at me, "We're almost done, just a few questions left, alright?"

I nodded, and took a deep breath as my arm was getting wrapped in bandages, "Endeavor had asked me to meet up with him regarding Hero Work for school," she wrote on her notepad and hummed.

"Which school do you attend?" I sighed and the nurse finished bandaging my arm, moving now to patch my neck.

"U.A. High School," for a moment she looked up at me and traced around my face, she probably recognized me because her eyes widened the slightest bit, but I noticed.

"Do you have your license?" Without responding I reached for my burnt and torn jacket next to me, on the opposite of where the nurse was, and I pulled down the zipper before taking my license and handing it to her, "Class 1-A, right?" I nodded once at her question and she looked down at my license in her hand.

She inspected it and gave it back soon enough, continuing to write on her notepad.

"Alright, then I'm done," she closed it and pocketed her pen, "You did a good job out there, kid."

And with that, she walked out.

The whole time we spoke, my phone continued to vibrate, so I wasn't sure if someone was calling me or texting me.

"Okay, we're done," the nurse muttered and he picked up the stuff he had used for my wounds, "You'll be staying the night here, but you're free to go if you like."

"Thank you..." I whispered and he smiled, walking out of the room. I moved back on the hospital bed, and laid on the pillow. Honestly, I didn't feel like moving at all, my whole body was in pain and I still had a mild headache, so I definitely wanted to stay in the hospital for the night, but...

I took my phone out of my pocket and turned it on to be bombarded by text after text, and missed call after missed call. From everyone. My parents called and texted me. The class 1-A chat was also filled with texts directed at me. Katsuki was worse than my parents. Hitoshi had texted me a few times as well. And... Aizawa...

Shit, the curfew-!

Right as I was rushing to get up from the bed, I received a text from Aizawa.

Aizawa-sensei;
I've been notified by the hospital that you'll be staying the night.
I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.

I sighed and relaxed once again.

;Sorry, sensei.
;And thank you.

He read it, but didn't respond and I decided to go over to Katsuki's chat. I opened the camera and took a picture of my physical state, but still smiling brightly.

;I'm alright, love.
;Still in one piece~!
;Sorry I made you worry. I'll make it up to you.

I waited anxiously as he received my texts, and the tick marks appeared, indicating they were delivered and soon, read by Katsuki.

I wasn't worried!
Not at all!

I chuckled at his response and I was about to type something else back, but he beat me to it.

However... I'm taking you up on that offer. You better not forget.

;Of course~ anything you want.

After that, there wasn't an answer, so I took my time to type a few quick texts to my parents, Hitoshi and the Class A group chat, telling them I was okay and I would be back at the dorm tomorrow morning.

Their responses were pretty much the same, mentioning they were glad I was okay and mostly uninjured, before wishing me a good night's rest.
