A Deadly Secret (Izuku Midoriya x Reader)

Chapter 103: Early Bird (Season 5, Episode 9)

"Okay, our best plan of action is placing Kyoka on recon," I reasoned. "We'll all charge to our opponent's location together. Bakugo will be our main brawler, while Katsumi and I will fight long distance. Bonus points if you can use Nightmare on Tokage."

    "Got it!" The girls nodded.

    "Don't tell me what to do." The blonde scowled at us. "Listen up, you underlings! Just follow me when this starts!"

    "That isn't much of a plan," I argued. "We're supposed to be working as a team!"

    "Oh, I know you did not just call us underlings, Katsuki Bakugo." Ooh, she brought out the full name.

    He shook her comment off. "I'll take the lead and head toward the fight. Look alive. You three better be ready to support me. Especially you!" Bakugo pointed to Kyoka. "Make sure you keep track of the enemy, Ears!"

    "Hey!" The girl snapped. "My name is Jiro!"

    "Charging them alone is stupid," Katsumi rationed. "Especially with that rec student. Anyway, we got our recon pro here. We may have better odds of winning by staying back."

    "Idiot. That's exactly what they're expecting us to do." Bakugo's eyes narrowed. "We're not waiting for the right moment. We're making our own opening. If we get eyes on them, we've won." He tossed us each a grenade. "Got it? Take those just in case. They don't pack much of a punch, but they can be useful. One more thing... Whenever you guys are in danger, I'll protect you. And when I'm in danger, protect me." That's really out of character.

    The purple haired girl managed to locate Class B's team pretty quickly. Of course, Bakugo just had to go ahead of all of us. Does he want to get captured first?

    Using his explosions, he propelled himself pretty quickly. Even Katsumi and I were struggling to keep up. I may be able to fly with Blood Geyser, but it'll only go so fast. The white-haired girl was floating on her Shadow Board, at the same speed as I was going. Poor Kyoka was stuck running.

    "Why can't you keep up?!" The blonde growled, slightly turning his head back.

    "I'm trying to listen for sounds while I run," the purple haired girl panted.

    "You better not fall behind!"

    "He's expecting people to follow as usual," Katsumi sweat dropped.

    "Why am I not surprised," I muttered.

    "From a certain point of view, he is cooperating," Kyoka reasoned. "Sort of."

    All of a sudden, Bakugo landed on a pipe, aiming one of his explosions in front of him. "Got you! Ears!"

    "Jiro!" She corrected, as she stopped to listen to the pipes.

    "They should be around here somewhere. Find them!" A moment of silence enveloped all of us, causing the blonde to anger. "What's taking so long?"

    "Hang on." The purple haired girl moved her amps. "This is a trap!"

    "Hi. And bye!" A floating mouth perched next to Bakugo. Setsuna Tokage. As she was shoved away, she began to explain her plan, and her other pieces began to attack. "I used Jiro's search ability against her. Smart, huh?"

    Acting quickly, I strung several blood ropes around the surrounding pipes, creating somewhat of a web. "Bakugo, down here!" If any of the pieces fly into here, I'll be able to catch it. She can't keep splitting forever.

    "Glue Squall!" The glue boy covered my blood ropes in his quirk. They predicted this. It's a good thing that I made these thin, so I didn't expend too much blood.
