A Deadly Secret (Izuku Midoriya x Reader)

Chapter 95: The End of The Battle (Season 5, Episode 2)

After the adrenaline began to wear off, Hawks managed to find me. His wings were practically stumps, since he burnt most of his feathers in the fight. Together, the two of us went over to Endeavor to make sure he didn't suddenly croak. I managed to heal most of my injuries, but I didn't fully absorb the blood on my skin, so I didn't accidentally reveal myself.

It's a miracle that I didn't break anything from that Nomu's punch. Though, that may have been from the blood cushion that I made underneath my shirt.

    "Well, I wasn't expecting to find you here." A husky voice came from the dust clouds that still remained, soon followed by a ring of blue fire that surrounded us. Dabi from the League.

    "The League of Villains." Endeavor growled, as he sat on the ground, too exhausted to stand. "Dabi. You killed Snatch. He was a good hero."

    "Snatch, huh?" The black-haired man with purple burn scars smirked. "That doesn't ring a bell. Why don't we forget about him and have a friendly chat. Who knows when we'll get another chance."

    The number one here tried to stand up, only to fall back down. It looks like I'm the only one who has any fighting chance here. Even so, I'm nearing my limit. I'm estimating that I only have one shot left before I lose consciousness.

    "You can't fight like this," Hawks warned.

"Just recover your strength for now," I urged. Forming my Hecate once again, I pointed it at the villain. "I'll take care of this guy."

"I'll help you," the blonde offered. "I may only have small feathers left, but I should be able to buy us some time."

The villain opened his arms. "Aw, no need for heroics. The only reason I'm here is to retrieve my fallen Nomu. I mean, no way I could win this fight, right?" Dabi launched himself at us, coating his right hand in blue flames. "Unless the top two heroes and some little girl were bloodied and beaten already!"

A woman shouted in the distance, before sending her foot slamming into the ground in between us. Oh my god. Is that Miriko?! She looks even cooler in person!

"Saw the news and hopped over!" The rabbit hero jumped back in the air, as Dabi moved back. "Patchwork, you're part of the League, huh? I'll kick your butt!"

"Man," Dabi sighed. "And things were just gettin' good. Do it, Ujiko." Some kind of black goo came out of the black-haired man's mouth, spreading across his body. "See ya later, Number One. I'm sure we'll have time to have a heart-to-heart someday. I look forward to it. Until then. Try not to disappoint. And don't you dare get killed, Enji Todoroki!"

"Tell us where your friends are!" Miriko kicked the goo away, only to find nothing but sludge. The man had completely vanished, along with the ring of fire he made. That liquid must be some kind of portal quirk. I mean, they don't have Kurogiri anymore, since he's in the custody of Tartarus Prison now. "Vanished. It's the same way they bounced out of Kamino that day."

"Whatever the case, we managed to stop that juiced up Nomu," Hawks huffed.

"Idiot," Endeavor groaned. "This is just the beginning."

"Who knows how many more of those things are out there," I speculated. "They hid all of those normal Nomu pretty easily. I can only imagine that they didn't stop with one extra powerful Nomu."

The police and ambulances came, telling me that it was time to bounce. I had a blood bag in my backpack anyway. All I need to do is find where I dropped it.

Luckily, our meeting spot was on one of the higher levels, so my backpack was resting on the top of the rubble pile. After collecting it, I headed back to the station, changing into a casual outfit and removing my wig.  Now that I think about it, I can't believe my wig stayed on through all of this. I am never using another kind of wig glue ever.

-Back At UA-

    I entered the dorm hall as if nothing happened.

    "(Y/n)/Tsutsumi!" I heard a crowd of people shout as I took my shoes off.

    "What the-"

    "We were so worried about you!" Mina squealed, as her and the rest of the girls hugged me.

    "We're just glad you're alright," Momo smiled.

    "That was the scariest thing I ever watched." Katsumi sniffled, as she latched onto my leg

    "What are you guys talking about?" Oh, that's right. They knew I was in Kyushu, but not what I was actually there for.

    "The fight with Endeavor, Hawks, the Nomu, and that hot chick," Mineta explained. Ew. No. I forgot that I was probably on TV.

    "Ohh." I brought my hand to my mouth, playing dumb. "So those weren't fireworks?"

    "Alright, that's enough." Mr. Aizawa may have had a mean face on, but deep down I knew he was relieved. "Give her some space."

    "You were at the fight and didn't even realize it?!" Kaminari blurted.

    "Seems like it," I fake yawned. "It's been a long day, so I'm going to sleep." I tried to take a step, but my leg wouldn't move. "Katsumi... you're still hugging my leg."

    "And?"

    It took six girls plus Aoyama to pry her off of me. I wonder where Bakugo, Todoroki, and Izuku are. Well, Todoroki's probably in his room, processing what just happened to his father. Same with Bakugo. He probably didn't care to stick around with the rest of the group. And Izuku... I have no clue.

    Just as I walked into the elevator, I realized that I wasn't alone.

    "Bakugo, what are you doing here?" I questioned.

    "Why do you think I'm here, vampire?" The blonde scowled as he leaned against the side of the elevator. "The others obviously didn't realize you were Lady Hecate, other than Katsumi, Icy Hot, Mr. Aizawa, and me. You scared the shit out of all of us, especially Katsumi. She thought you died in that one attack."

    "Oh, I didn't realize you actually cared about your classmates." My giggly demeanor changed into a serious one. "At the Commission, I was taught to prioritize the safety of the country over my own life. Sure, I almost died buying time for Endeavor, but I didn't go down without a fight. Besides, no one can kill me that easily."

    "Yeah, keeping that attitude is going to send you to the cemetery one day." The elevator dinged, telling us that we were on the second floor. "Might be the end of your little boyfriend too." I was so focused on the battle in front of me, that I didn't even consider how others would be affected. How stupid of me. "The nerd's in your room. Thought I should tell you that."

    "He's in my room?"

Not that I mind, but why? Oh, wait a minute. I turned my phone on, looking at my 85 missed calls and 34 unread text messages. Half of them were from Katsumi and the other half are from Izuku, with a few being from Mr. Aizawa. No wonder they thought that I was dead.

***

The creaking of my door opening was soon followed by frantic footsteps.

Izuku wrapped his arms tightly around me, burying his tear-soaked face into the crook of my neck. "Don't scare me like that ever again. I don't know what I would do with myself if I lost you."

If only he knew that I was in that fight. "Shh." I held the back of his head, hanging my other arm around him. "I'm okay and don't worry, I'd never leave you alone like that. Ever."

Pulling away, he attempted to wipe at his puffy eyes. "Promise?"

I leaned in closer to him, lowering my voice to a whisper. "I promise I'll never leave you, Izuku. I love you too much."

He let out a relieved sigh, before connecting his lips to mine. "I love you too, (Y/n)."
