Lucky Girl (BNHA OC Fanfic)

25 // It's Unnecessary But It Establishes Power

We stood in the outside grounds of Endeavor's skyscraper, staring eachother down, ready to tear eachother to shreds. My breath catches in my throat, I know I can't beat him. There's no way in hell that going against Todoroki is going to end well for me.

His quirk is ten times better than mine, he has the combination of two incredibly strong quirks in one and I need a fancy stick to even beat the most basic of villains. Thank the lord Endeavor permitted me to use it.

I can't believe I actually agreed to this. Back in the day, I was rebellious and independent. I had the world in the palm of my hand I wouldn't back down for anybody, ever. Despite my attempts at rekindling my old flame, I find myself backing down to Endeavor whenever he puts his foot down. I'm on no place to go against him because he drafted for me when I wasn't even in the festival, and he knows that.

I can't say no.

After Endeavor told me I had to fight his son, he knew that I couldn't argue. Todoroki was probably stunned by my sudden silence. I was shaking with rage at the time for letting myself get emotionally cornered, but now I'm shaking from anxiety.

Endeavor is the only big pro I've gotten a chance to impress, and with my luck when it comes to this stuff, I need to make my mark. I can't win, but I'll go down trying.

"Begin!" Endeavor yells from across the yard. Before I know it, a shard of ice is inches away from my face as it spikes out of the ground. Todoroki might not like his dad, but he still has his vendetta to prove that he's strong. Not that he needs to.

I shatter the ice with a bullet from my weapon and sprint forward. I need to get in close range to attack him, but that means putting myself in a dangerous situation that I can't beat, so I stumble over the floor and collapse.

Luck. Something I've always had. It's not as good as it sounds as all. Luck acts as a separate entity to me, it's in sync with the universe in a way that most people can never be. It acts on it's own and makes things happen to "help" me.

But luck isn't everything, and it knows that. So, it either helps me win or helps me escape and I can't choose which. At it's core, it's just a more complex fight or flight reaction, except I have very little say. Remember when I said that I wasn't a fan of my quirk? Here's why.

In a situation that I can't win, it won't let me try, it tries to force me to escape, to find the safest possible way out even if I'm not going to get in serious trouble. Luck might aswell just be a sore loser, if you can't win, why bother? So in situations like this, it trips me up, quite literally.

Todoroki is clearly stunned that I just smacked my face off the floor, probably because he's seen the stuff I can do. That enterence exam is a prime example.

I stand up and make eye contact with Todoroki, whose face is completely blank, he didn't even need to do anything for me to mess up. All I've managed to do is look like a twat in front of the strongest guy in out class. Brilliant.

"I'll explain later." I say in frustration, which just seems to confuse him even more. "Ugh. Fuck it." I run forward, not tripping this time and jump, twisting my weapon through the air to bring it down on him.

Of course he blocks me, another spike of ice blocks my way and it suddenly explodes as a blast of fire wipes me away.

"Yes Shoto!" Endeavour yells. "Show her your true power!"

"My true power is mine and mine alone." Todoroki growls as I get up off the ground for a second time. "I'm not you."

I'm suddenly surrounded by flames that shoot towards me. Ragged coughs escape me as the smoke fills my lungs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this boy's something else. I don't know if he's planning to overwhelm me or gas me out, but I'm not going to let this ruin me.
