A Deadly Secret (Izuku Midoriya x Reader)

Chapter 90: Heroes Rising (Part 3)

-At the Site of the Illusion-

    Luckily, I ran into Shoji, Koda, and Ochaco on the way there. We were all met with the sight of Izuku and Bakugo lying on the ground, covered in various injuries. Katsuma and his sister were shaken in a corner, as a man with long white hair grunted in pain. He wore a strange mask, which partially covered the purple markings that glowed on his face. The villain woman from earlier was also there, guarding him.

    If both Izuku and Bakugo were defeated within the five minutes it took for us to get here, then it would be better to fall back and strategize. Koda called a bunch of birds to surround the area, creating a screen for Shoji to take the kids, and for Ochaco to make the two boys float so I could pull them with my blood ropes. I don't even want to imagine what would've happened if we had shown up any later.

-Later That Night-

    Due to the power outage, the several destroyed buildings, and the three free-ranging villains, we huddled everyone together in the island's bunker. This place has major floods, so they built a building with emergency supplies that doubles as a shelter. Izuku and Bakugo were immediately given first aid by some of the other students and the medics, while we were left to protect the islanders. I want to go be with him, but my help is needed elsewhere. It would be a nice time to have Recovery Girl here.

    Everyone was assigned roles to help this go smoothly. Mina, Tsu, Koda, and I were on cooking duty.

"It's a good thing there's so many vegetables on the island," Tsu brought up.

"What did you do with the villain we captured?" Mina questioned.

"He's chained up in the basement boiler room." Sero sat down the box of vegetables he was carrying. "But he refuses to talk. Hasn't said a word."

It's too bad I can't use my Commission tactics on him. I could make him talk easily by breaking his arm or something, but terrifying my classmates wouldn't do anyone any good.

After the majority of the civilians went to sleep, our class, minus Bakugo and Izuku, met in one of the storage rooms to discuss our current dilemma.

"Here's the current situation: communications are down, and the electric grid is destroyed," Iida recapped. "We also cannot call for help."

Momo, who was barely able to stand from using her quirk too much, tried to sit up from the couch she laid on. "I made a drone earlier. It'll send an SOS message once it's close to the mainland. But the flight is at least six hours. Plus, even after someone comes across it, the heroes will need time to assemble and travel to us."

"In the meantime, I doubt that the villains are gonna sit and wait," Katsumi frowned.

"Now, our top priority is to protect the people of the island," Iida continued. "If that means fighting villains then so be it."

Through the open door, I saw Katsuma and the girl, whose name I learned to be Mahoro, walk in.

"Yeah, but how?" Sato wondered.

Mineta clutched his bandaged head in fear. "The one guy beat up Midoriya and Bakugo so much that they almost didn't survive!"

"Four of us took on the beast, and it wasn't enough," Todoroki added.

"(Y/n), Richie, and I were able to take down the pink haired chick pretty easily, yet she still managed to slip away," Katsumi revealed.

"And our numbers are dropping," Kyoka huffed. "Yaomomo and Kaminari both used up a lot of their quirks already."
