that's just how it works [REWRITING]

Chapter Fourteen - Symbol of Peace

 

*Art by me ^^^

. . .

   You hop out the window, knees bent, and land on the ground, eyes scanning the area around you. Up ahead in the distance, you saw the fountain, and you saw Aizawa-Sensei.

   But something wasn't right. The big black bulk was hovering over it, and you could see, even from a good distance away, Aizawa-Sensei's blood pooling around him. You inhale sharply, covering your mouth. You tremble. If that thing was able to do that to your teacher... 

   You didn't want to know what it could do to your classmates.

   You take deep breaths, trying to calm yourself as you pry your eyes away to look at the front door of the collapse zone building, where Kirishima and Bakugou were filing out. Kirishima walked over to you, taking note of your distressed look. "Are you alright, (Y/n)-Chan?" 

   Wordlessly, you point at where Aizawa-Sensei was. Kirishima looks over and his eyes widen, his breath hitching in his throat. He grabbed your hand, pulling you to your feet. You lean on him, trying to ease the shaking of your legs. Your gaze drifts over to the hands man and the warp gate. It seemed like they were talking, but you couldn't be sure, considering hands man has a hand covering his face, and the warp gate doesn't even have a mouth. The hands man seemed irritated, as he was scratching at the sides of his neck with his hands furiously. Suddenly, he stopped. He turned to look at something near the water. 

   You blink, and he's over there at the water's edge. You gasp, catching sight of Midoriya and Asui. Before you have time to comprehend what you're doing, you're running in the direction. You form a cloud, jumping off it to land on the ground and roll into a crouched position. Even when you hear both Kirishima and Bakugou call your name, you keep running, as hands man reaches his hand toward Asui's face. You have a bad feeling about that hand. 

   Bringing your fist back, clenched, you throw yourself towards him. You punch him, letting loose not only a large volt of electricity you stored up in your glove, but a strong wind current, pushing any hair out of your face. Wait, this isn't hands man. You slowly look up into the face of the muscle bird man thing, terror making your heart race. You start to subtly back up, trembling. Hands man starts to talk.

   "Ah, seems we have a hero-wannabe rushing in. Tell me, (last name) (Y/n), what made you want to go down that path?" In the water, Midoriya's eyes widened. He had been utterly surprised when you had rushed in, but now, to hear the villain call you by your name?!

    You grit your teeth, feeling your gloves heat up. Yet, you start building up the energy in them, not caring if they burned your hands. You stay silent, not responding to hands man. He's not pleased by this, you can tell. "Hmm, well then, alright. I'm done with you. Noumu, play with her, but don't kill her. She'll be useful for us."

   Gasping, you shoot the electricity from your gloves at the bird ma- ahem, Noumu, as you heard hands man call it-- and start running away. But before you could get far, you feel a giant fist slam into your back, knocking you forward. You yelp, falling onto your front. You scramble to get up, but to no avail, as you feel your arm get clutched by a giant hand, and you're picked up, dangling like a rag doll. You gasp, and a 'crack' sound is heard. You scream, the shrill sound traveling throughout the whole building. You writh, trying to escape the squeezing fist gripping your arm. 

    You're thrown down, the concrete cracking from the force of the slam. You cough, blood splattering down onto the ground. You grimace, standing up. Your arm was limp, by your side, the bone broken. The Noumu was about to grab your again, and you were prepared to attack, when a voice broke through. 

   "Leave her to me, if you may."

   The Noumu freezes, hand inches away from your good arm. You freeze too, slowly turning to look at the approaching male figure. You growl, clenching your fist but not moving from your place. In front of you, was the man you never wanted to see again.

   "Hey, dad." Your voice is weak, frail, and shaky compared to his, the pain making it hard to not scream out. He smirks, stopping a foot away from you. "I see you still remember me, daughter."

   You glare at him, wiping at your mouth and smearing blood across your cheek. You're about to fire an attack at him when a voice breaks out, and pounding footsteps approach. "Get the FUCK away from her!" You gasp, looking to the side as Bakugou appears, aiming an explosion at your dad. He covers his face with his arm, his smirk disappearing. Bakugou stands beside you, an arm held out in front of you. You bite your lip. You appreciated him coming to your side and all... but...

   "Bakugou-Kun, move aside... This is my battle to fight." He scowls at you, crimson orbs glaring into your own (eye color) ones. "(last name)... You really are an idiot. You're thinking I'm going to let you get more hurt?!" You flinch back from his shout, whimpering softly. "B-Bakugou-Kun... You don't understand..."

   He's about to reply smartly, when he's shocked by a streak of electricity. You whip your head to your dad, eyes wide. His smirk is back, and he's pointing at Bakugou. "You done talking to your boy toy yet?"

   You see red for a second. A shadow passes over your face as you shove Bakugou's arm aside and start marching over to him. "Now you LISTEN here buddy!" You put on a fake cheerful tone, eyes wide as you glower at him. "Bakugou Katsuki is NOT my boy toy! In fact, I don't have one! But I'm sure you know ALL about having boy toys, DON'T YOU?!" You yell, raising up your good arm. A shot of electricity jumps from your hand to him right before your fist connects with his face. You send him flying back, a grim look in your eyes. You start feeling light headed from the pain coming from your arm and your hands. You could hear a faint sizzle coming from them. But you ignored it. 

   He grunts, standing and facing you. "Hah... And you're still a little bitch. Is that anyway to treat your damn dad, (Y/n)?" His voice was harsh, cutting through the air like a knive. Behind you, your classmates flinch, but you stand your ground, growling lowly. "Since when were you a father to me?"

   He lets out a yell, moving to punch you. But you step aside swiftly, gritting your teeth as you grab his arm with both hands, turning and throwing him over your shoulder. He hits the concrete, but you aren't done with him. Your eyes flash a neon blue for a second as you raise your good hand, aiming your palm up at the ceiling. 

   An orb of blue light starts forming in your palm, and you bring it down swiftly, a ball of water hovering right by your hand. Electricity sparks in the air, as the bomb of water bursts, trapping your father in a net. He struggles, but you clench your hand into a fist, wrapping the net tightly around him. 

   The room spins, and you stumble to the side slightly. You cough up blood when you are gripped around the midsection and picked up by the Noumu. It squeezes you, letting black spots dance around your vision.

   You gasp, turning to look at the entrance when the door is slammed down. At the top of the stairs, standing there, is All Might. Except his smile is replaced by a grim glare, teeth gritted in rage. 

   "It's fine now!" You grin, despite feeling woozy. "For I am here!"

   "Thank... G-Goodness..." You mumble, feeling your eyes close. The Noumu drops you, and you feel yourself falling. A fleeting feeling of panic surges through your veins, but you are caught and held close. You crack open your eyes, looking up at Bakugou. 

   "Baku... gou...?" He looks down at you, scowling. "Idiot." 

   Despite it all, you smile, letting your eyes close again and fall into unconsciousness.

   'It'll be okay now...'
