Mysterious Hero

Chapter 5 - Show Off

I thought he was going to tell me his plan but instead, his words just shocked me.
"I don't need your help. I can do this alone." he said. I stood there, with no emotion whatsoever on my face, but inside, I'm screaming at how idiotic he is. In order to make it, we have to use teamwork.
"We're doing this together. I'm bored and I've already come up with a plan whether you like it or not." I growl. His eyes become wide at my words. I never broke my gaze as he narrowed his irises with a glare.
"What's this so-called plan?" he asked.
"I'm assuming that since Hagakure is invisible, she'll go for a stealth attack. She'll be walking around, searching for the best place to strike, leaving Ojiro defending the bomb." I place my chin in between my thumb and forefinger.
"I want to do a double whammy and capture both the villains and the weapon. I want you to freeze the building while I teleport to Ojiro-"
"But doesn't your quirk only work with the places you've seen or have already been?" Todoroki cuts me off, clearly agitated. I sigh.
"Yes, but I can also picture someone and teleport to where they're standing. If I picture Ojiro in my mind, I will teleport to where he's standing and attack him while his feet are frozen to the floor." I look up to see the anger from earlier disappear, replaced with an impressed expression.
"You're more than I thought you were." he suddenly says. Although my face is still emotionless, I could feel my face heating up.
The battle before us was announced over and it was our turn to take the stage.

Todoroki and I stand outside the building, ready to put the plan in action.
"Remember, capture the villains, then the weapon." I reminded him.
"I know." he answered. He walked into the building without another word. Soon enough, the building was frozen. I didn't waste any time to close my eyes and imagine Ojiro. As soon as I feel my feet not on the ground anymore, I open my eyes to find myself traveling through space and time. I see a light at the end of the burgundy tunnel, which is my destination.
I come out of nowhere above Ojiro. He doesn't notice until a kick him in the face, making him land on his back. I could've taken the bomb right there but I had to know if Todoroki got Hagakure. I look down to see Ojiro knocked out cold. 'Shit! I didn't mean to kick that hard! I've must've gathered too much momentum.' I think. I press the earpiece in which me and Todoroki were given and say, "Have you found her yet?" It takes and agonizing minute before he responded.
"She's stuck, barefoot on ice." he answers. I sigh and touch the bomb, closing my eyes. In an instant, I'm outside with the bomb in my grasp. I spot Todoroki melting the ice off of the building, returning it back to normal.
"AND THE HERO TEAM WINS WITH AN EXCELLENT PLAN!!" All Mights voice booms out from the speakers. Todoroki turns towards me and his eyes go wide with shock. I became confused. He walked towards me and motioned his hand to the bomb.
"I didn't think that was part of the plan as well." he atoned in an amused manner. I shrug my shoulders.
"It was a last minute decision." I said. He gave me a small smile, which was rare for Todoroki. He suddenly puts his hand on my shoulder.
"I think I understand why you're top student, show off." he says. I sweat a drop as I began to remember. I decided to show a little emotion, smiling and I hold my hand up for a high five.
He lets his hand fall off my shoulder, confused by my action. Realizing he doesn't know what to do, I take his open hand and slap it against mine.
"It's called a high five, idiot." I tease. I giggle at the sight of his flustered face before he turns away.
We walked off to the monitor room as I met up with Hagakure, who was sad at the outcome but happy from our 'genius' plan. To be honest, I was quite uncomfortable with the amount of attention given to me. I excused myself to the bathroom to take a breather.
I sigh as I slid down the concrete wall outside of the arena. I fidget with my Dads necklace that has the zodiac sign of Libra.
"So this is where you ran off to." a voice says.
It's Ojiro, with a bandage on his face. I quickly stand up and bow so low I can fold myself in half.
"I apologize for my actions during our training. It was not my intention to make you lose consciousness and I am truly sorry!" 'What the hell am I saying?! Why do I feel guilty when it's not a big deal?!'
"Oh please, (l/n)! Stand up! There's no need for an apology, I would've done the same thing if I was in your position!" he said frantically. I stood up straight and held out my hand.
"Thank you." I say as he shook my hand. I don't know what came over me. Ever since I started U.A, I've been breaking my promises in which I swore to myself would never break, but here we are.
"You're welcome. It was actually quite impressive for you to come up with such a detailed plan on the spot." he comments, rubbing the back of his head. My suppressed memories are resurfacing.
Too soon.
"Thank you." I harden my monotone manner and politely ask Ojiro to leave. When he left, I slid down the wall again, pulling my knees to my chest, and wrapped my arms around them. I sobbed quietly. Letting the memories flood back into my mind.

~Flashback~

I was swinging with my so-called best friend, Ako Rio, at the park. I told her everything from what happened with my dad to all of my hopes and dreams. I told her about my crushes and let her copy my homework when she didn't finish hers. We did everything together throughout middle school.
It was in the eighth grade and I was in a rush to see my boyfriend. His name was Haruto Riku, he was the most beautiful person you would ever lay eyes on. He was smart and kind along with adorable mannerisms. I turned up the stairs, making my way up to the roof and swung open the door. I was traumatized once again at what I saw.
My first love and my best friend were sucking each other's faces off. I felt disgusted. I gave my first kiss, along with my first date to that boy. I told my secrets and even opened my home to that girl! I wanted to vomit at the sickening sight before me. They took a break from kissing and Ako finally opened her eyes and saw me, my body shaking with anger and betrayal. She pushed herself away from him, who looks back to find his now ex-girlfriend standing there.
"It's not what it looks like, I swear!!" Ako yelled. I started to laugh and shook my head. I laughed and I wheezed, the traitors staring at me in shock. I raise my hand, my head still down. 'I've finally snapped.' I thought. I continue to laugh as I do a squeezing motion with my hand, I was choking Haruto with my telekinesis.
"You liars!" I scream. I begin to levitate the boy by the throat as Ako is beckoning me to stop. Just then, Haruto shoots thorns out of his hands, pelting my front. I drop him on the ground as I continue laughing like a maniac.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! You could've killed him!!" Ako screams, kicking me in my side. I pull out the thorns out one by one, wincing at the slight pain.
After the last thorn was out, I stood up. They stare at me with fear in their eyes. I look up, tears start to form in my eyes as I stare at the two traitors huddled up against each other for protection.
I laughed at the sight.
"What's wrong with you?! This isn't like you at all!" the girl cries. I laugh harder.
"Oh it's nothing! I'm just laughing at myself for being so stupid!" I yell.
"No wonder I lost interest. I was dating a damn bitch." I stopped laughing. I haven't told him about that word because I felt as if he wouldn't call me that. Ako however, looks at me wide eyed, shaking her head, pleading me to let it go.
I don't.

~Present time~

My body is shaking at the thought of hurting my classmate. I sob uncontrollably, letting my emotions get the better of me.
I jolt at someone's touch and look up to see a person I wasn't expecting at all.
