10 Reasons

2- The messages he sends

[2/10]

She dropped on the floor, her legs giving in as she threw the handbag to the floor next to her.

"Smash!"

"Die!"

"Kiru-kiru!"

"Creation!"

"Release!"

"Turbo!"

While all of them released punches relentlessly, she barely could hold her breath, as she battled against her opponent, who, by the way, didn't even let her finish her sentences.

"*Tu exaudies vocem- shit!"

"**Quia fata ti- damn-"

Needless to say, her team didn't really win, the team being the villains, but the heroes did.

She rarely cursed her quirk, as it was rather useful; if anything, she cursed her inability.

And this time was one of those times. One of those times in which she couldn't stand being useless.

Her quirk was useful as long as she could talk, since it required her to say the order in Latin, and as long as she could use her hands, since it required her to make a cross on any part of her body except the face.

So, when it was close ranged combat, she needed to be calm and able to speak clearly, otherwise, she would be as good as a commoner. But if she was being punched and thrown against the floor all the time, she couldn't stand a chance.

She looked at her hand, which had a slightly white mark which resembled a Greek cross from all the times she had used it already.

It never guaranteed the win of any combat though, "I should be in backup, honestly..."

Where Bakugo, Izuku, Uraraka or even Tsuuyu had been completely able to handle themselves in battle, she hadn't been able to land a single hit.

And, yes, she was very well aware that she should do like Izuizu, who had never given up, whose loses had only fueled him further to win and become a hero, but she let things like those bring her further down, as if fate, her beloved fate, suddenly pushed her self-esteem down an invisible set of stairs.

She hit the floor with a weak punch, "Goddamn it."

BUZZ!

Her eyes trailed to her bag.

Probably Izuku, it was the hour where he would have finished revising and would text her.

She decided to ignore it at the moment; it would only make her feel worse.

However, the amount of messages that were left unread were too many, since the screen lit up several times before finally turning black.

yeah, thanks izu boi - 19.17

As the phone's screen dies down, the thought that occurs to her first is:

"I love his messages."

* "Tu exaudies vocem [...]" : part of a sentence, literally meaning "You will hear [...]", the full sentence should be: "Tu exaudies vocem imperiis[...]" meaning: "if you hear me, obey these orders".

**"Quia fata ti(bi) [...]" meaning: "for it is your fate" or "for fates"
