Dark Reciprocation (Katsuki Bakugo x OC)(Villain Bakugo)

Chapter 71

The jet looms ahead, its sleek design promising a fast escape, but the sirens are growing louder by the second. Bakugo, his heart pounding, carries Rose toward the open door of the jet. Her body feels too light in his arms, her breathing shallow as she clings weakly to him.

Bakugo pushes through the rising panic in his chest as he steps into the jet, cradling Rose carefully. He looks around, eyes locking onto a spot where he can lay her down. "We need to stop the bleeding first," he mutters, setting her down on one of the passenger seats. His hands tremble as he tries to inspect the wound.

She reaches out, her fingers weakly brushing against his arm. "No... the plane won't take off without me," she whispers, her voice barely audible. Her eyes flicker with determination, even through the haze of pain. "Take me to the cockpit."

Bakugo's jaw tightens, frustration and fear swirling inside him. "You're in no condition to do this," he snaps, but her grip on his arm tightens, and he knows she won't back down. With a low growl of annoyance, he scoops her up again and heads toward the cockpit where Kaminari is already in the pilot's seat.

Kaminari sits in the pilot's seat, nervously tapping at the controls as the jet begins to hum to life. He glances over his shoulder when Bakugo enters, his face pale with worry. "Is she okay?" he asks, but Bakugo ignores the question, placing Rose into the co-pilot's seat.

Kaminari swallows hard, his hands shaking slightly. "I don't know if I can do this on my own," he admits, his voice cracking. He looks over at Rose, waiting for her instructions.

Rose's vision swims as she struggles to focus on the controls. Her breath comes in shallow gasps, and every word feels like a battle. "Start with the throttle... increase the power," she whispers, her fingers trembling as she gestures to the controls. "Just... follow my lead."

Outside the jet, Kirishima and Sero work at a frantic pace, grabbing the bags of supplies from the car and tossing them into the jet. Every second feels like an eternity as the wail of sirens grows louder. The lights of the pursuing heroes are now visible in the distance, flashing ominously against the dark sky.

"We need to hurry!" Kirishima shouts, his voice tight with urgency as he heaves another bag into the jet. "They're almost on us!"

Sero nods, his heart pounding as he grabs the last bag from the car. "Let's go, let's go!"

Back in the cockpit, Kaminari nervously adjusts the controls, following Rose's weak instructions. But as she speaks, her voice grows softer, and her movements slow. She suddenly falls silent, her head drooping forward as her body goes still.

Bakugo's chest tightens in panic, and he turns toward her, his eyes wide with fear. "Rosalia?" he says, his voice cracking. When she doesn't respond, he grabs her shoulder, shaking her gently at first, then harder. "Rosalia! Wake up!"

For a brief moment, everything is darkness. The weight of exhaustion and blood loss presses down on her, pulling her into unconsciousness. But Bakugo's voice cuts through the fog, and she jolts awake, gasping for breath.

"I'm... I'm here," she whispers weakly, her voice barely a breath. She forces her eyes open, focusing on the controls. "We need to take off now."

With Rose's weak guidance, Kaminari pushes the throttle, and the jet roars to life. The heroes' vehicles are almost at the runway now, their lights flashing in the darkness, but the jet begins to pick up speed.

"We're moving!" Kaminari shouts, his heart racing as the jet barrels down the runway. "Hold on!"

Bakugo presses hishand against her wound again, his voice low and urgent. "Stay awake. We'realmost in the air, dammit. Just hold on." He can feel her slipping, her energy fadingwith every passing second, but he refuses to let her go.
