NOMU (kiribaku)

Safe.

"Get him out of here!"

"Lets go, Kaminari! We'll only get in their way!"

"Guys, he's waking up!"

"Bakugou, are you okay?!"

My eyes barely opened, I could see Pikachu, scotch tape, and pinky right in front of me. I tried to sit up and groaned in the process, feeling a stabbing pain in my ribs.

"Careful, we're gonna get you to a hospital." Raccoon eyes helped me to sit up and lean against a car.

I looked past them and saw Aizawa and the punk rock chick fighting off the guys that nearly killed me.

"Leave, now!" Aizawa yelled.

"C'mon Bakugou.." Sero pulled my arm over his shoulder and helped me up, pikachu lifted my other arm.

A frigid wind brushed against my wet clothes, making me shiver as the rain seemed to stab my skin.

My head was spinning as they layed me in the backseat of a car and started driving off.

"Stay with us, we're almost there." Kaminari said, neeling in the floorboard beside me as my eyelids were fluttering. "Hurry up!"

The rocking of the car and sound of raindrops beating on the windshield gave me a headache, amplifying the pain I was already in.

The car stopped and everyone jumped out, slamming the doors. "C'mere, you need a doctor."

"Mina, go inside while we get him out of the car!" Sero shouted as he headed over to the backseat.

"We need a doctor! Help!" She ran off inside.

"Lets go, c'mon.."

Once inside, some people rolled in one of those emergency cart things and layed me down, rushing me down the halls. The bright lights on the ceiling made my vision blur, then everything went dark.

--

My eyes barely opened, and  I saw the dim light of the hospital room, heard people chatting in the halls, and felt completely numb.

I looked over and saw a tuft of bright red hair laying messily over the edge of the bed, and heard quiet sobs as his breath was shaky and uneaven.

"Kirish-" my voice cought in my throat and instantly became sore.

He sprung up and stared at me with a pink, tear-stained face. "B-Bakugou, you're awake... Th-they said you.. might not wake up,.." he choked out.

"I'm fine, I'm just sorry.. I'm so fucking sorry.." Tears weled up in the corner of my eyes.

"Don't be, I'm just so happy that you're ok." He gave me a soft smile and wiped his tears.

"But.." I paused, looking into his deep scarlet eyes, "....I lied to you."

His smile fell and looked sad, "...We can talk about that later.."

"There's litterally no better time to talk. I know you have questions, how could you not."

He averted his eyes and had furrowed eyebrows. "How..?"

He wouldnt look back up at me. "...My father,.. he took the quirks of criminals and a few kidnapped civilians with machines and gave them to me.."

"Civilians?" He cocked his head. I nodded.

"But, I didn't know it was bad! He started doing it when I was younger, against my will-"

"Do you have Monoma's quirk..?"

I bit my lip slightly and nodded my head slowly.

"What happened to the quirks owners.."

I looked down at my lap, I can't lie, but I'm afraid of his response. "....Most of them die.."

"How can you take part in something that kills people?!"

"My father has authority in the government, and money to stop anyone from telling the police or media."

"He's bribing you? People died!"

My head shot up, "No, my life was on the line! Hes been working on this project since before I was born, every other vessel died. My life is at risk every time I get a new quirk!"

His eyes widened and he stared silent for a minute. "...d-did it... hurt.."

I bit my lip and turned my head with furrowed eyebrows. "...like hell."

"How long has he been doing this to you??"

"I dont know,... since I was about five maybe.."

He shot forward and wrapped his arms around my neck, "...I'm sorry.." he cried.

"For what?" My heart started racing.

He squeezed me tighter, "..because I never knew the pain you've been suffering your whole life."

"I never wanted you to find out.." I wrapped my arms around him as he cried into my shoulder.
