Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

65. Showdown

You couldn't believe it. Katsuki was..... No. No. It couldn't be. But it was. That was the reality. Katsuki was gone. He had been taken away from you.....

Suddenly, something came over you. You were seeing red. Rage filled you. It was all his fault. Stupor. The man who had taken every single thing away from you. Your parents, your quirk, your life and now Katsuki.

You felt some kind of power surging through your body. Something snapped inside of you. The skies seemed to become tempestuous. It suddenly began to pour. Lightening stuck behind you as you stood up.

You were losing control. Tears were streaming down your face and you charged. You could see nothing but the villain in front of you. The man who had taken everything away from you seconds ago.

You charged. He was trying to get up but you rammed him back into the ground. You climbed on top and began to beat him. With every hit, you could hear cracking under you. His bones. But you didn't care. You kept going over and over until his body became limp under you.

But you weren't done. Not even close. Stupor. That's all you could think about. Rage was blinding you.

"Haha!" He cackled maniacally. "That's right! Now you know how it feels. Now you know what it means to be TRULY ALONE!"

You didn't say a word. You were almost hyperventilating now. The pure anger you felt for the man in front of you was getting unbearable.

"Oh.... are you upset? Sad? Sorry? That your little boyfriend there is.....gone? Dead? Oh, poor Y/N.... No father... No quirk... No friends... And no brother!"

You shrieked as you charged at him, trying to throw him backwards by pushing the wind in his way. But it was useless. He generated a dozen white, glowy soldiers. He cackled evilly, knowing that there was no way you would be able to tear past them. But you smirked. You pressed your eyes shut and took a deep breath and concentrated on the skies.

You cried out as you released. Suddenly, bolts of lightening began striking the soldiers one by one. The flash of light disintegrated them within seconds. Stupor screamed as he shielded himself from the brightness.

He was shook. How was it possible? Why the hell was your quirk back? He thought it was gone for good....

But he recovered quickly this time. He looked at you, filled with rage. His face had contorted into a sinister expression. "You'll pay for that!" He hissed as he began charging towards you.

Uh oh. This wasn't good. You were panicking. You had used up all of your energy in generating those bolts. You were completely helpless now.

He tackled you to the ground and pinned you. He began laughing maniacally again, sending cheers down your spine. He began punching your face over and over. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? WHAT CHEAP TRICKS DO YOU HAVE UP YOUR SLEEVE NOW, HUH?"

He knew he had got you. He pulled out a knife and raised it above his head, ready to strike. But just then, an idea popped into your head.

You reached into your pocket and pulled out your cell. You turned on the torch and flashed him right in the eyes. Stupor shrieked in pain as he fell backwards.

"YOU BITCH!" He yelled. You tried to reach for him but you couldn't. Your body felt soar. You couldn't stand. You tried to crawl towards him but he scrambled away, covering his face. "Get back here, villain!"

Just then, you felt something fall on top of your head. It was a red feather.....

You cried out in relief. Hawks. His feet hit the ground next to you. He was carrying a metal box in his hand- the goods. He had completed the mission.

"KEIGO!" You rasped. His eyes widened when he saw your condition. "Y/N! Who did this to you?"

You pointed in the direction where Stupor had been but- he was gone. "I-It was- He was-" The fucker got away.

"Oh god...Stupor." Hawks seemed to grasp the situation. "What happened, Y/N?"

You couldn't take it anymore. You sobbed in pain. "Ka-Katsuki! Keigo! He's- He got-"

"What about Bak-" Keigo's heart froze when he looked a few meters behind you.

"No. No no no no!" He repeated as he ran to his side. "BAKUGOU- NO!"

You sobbed. "He-He's-"
"Wait!" Keigo interrupted you. "His heart.... IT'S STILL BEATING!" He cried.

Your head was spinning. Guilt coarsed through your chest. Tears streamed down your cheeks uncontrollably. You were shaking. There was dried blood all over your body. But it wasn't yours. It was Katsuki's. You blankly stared at the door.

"Y/N!" You heard Hawks' voice. "..........Keigo." you rasped.
"Look at me." He ran a hand over your head.
"He'll be fine, okay? He's a strong kid. It's not your fault. You did great."

You snapped. "Great? I did great?" You screamed. "He got shot because of me! He protected me. I did this to him! ITS NOT FINE! Nothing is fine!"
"Y/N..." Hawks pulled you into a hug. "It wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. Blame me. You two were my responsibility. I was the one that let this happen."

Tears were welling in his eyes too. The guilt was crashing into his gut. He thought the mission was going to be a walk in the park. He didn't know it was going to go that horribly wrong. He had completed the mission himself but he couldn't believe it had ended in the worst way possible. He should have known that Stupor would go for you... He should have been there to protect you. I've failed as a hero. He thought, as silent tears escaped his eyes.

You sobbed into his chest. "It's okay, birdie. It's gonna be okay."
