Tododeku Week 2018, day one: Warmth!

"To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt." - Madonna

This gang is more than a little frustrating.

For starters, their secret base is the unused basement of a very much used apartment building in one of the less well-off parts of the city. They also have a surprising amount of large-scale quirks in the hands of quirk users that have absolutely no problem taking down an inhabited building in the process of defeating the small group of heroes that had raided their quarters for drugs that aren't even there anymore.

They also have an old woman on their side with an ice quirk to match Shouto's. She's the tipping point from tense standoff to desperate free-for-all, having had tumbled down the stairs from the communal laundry room screaming in the middle of it and freezing the front and only line of police officers solid.

Izuku was lucky he wasn't dealing with her – Shouto was – but his foe was formidable in and of themself. They were shooting shimmery strings at their allies and apparently seizing control of them, and Izuku wouldn't be surprised if their name was Puppeteer. Since he was the fastest hero present, he was the one chasing them throughout the basement, avoiding their strings while they gradually let up with concise controls and started to just throw their fellow gang members between them and Izuku. It was a little sad to watch their growing desperation.

At least, it is, while he can watch them. Not long after he gets within grabbing distance of them, he's blasted into a support pillar by a formidable lump of ice. It pins him against it, thankfully not pushing him all the way through, but he feels something give in his chest and hopes to whatever fucking god there is that that doesn't pierce his lung.

Izuku looks up to see the old lady cackling her head off as Todoroki yells something indecipherable and sends an ice spike of his own to knock hers away from him while he himself charges at her with ruthless intent in his eyes and unrelenting flames arcing off his back and arm. His spike shatters the lady's spike, and Izuku realizes too late that he was a little higher off the ground than he initially thought. He hits the ground rolling and a small shard of ice splits the skin on his shoulderblade through his suit purely from the force. He rolls more times than he plans to, and doesn't stand up very smoothly. He trips over a large ice boulder and his foot doesn't feel good under his shoe armour.
