24 - Return To Sender

"Todoroki! Intruders!"

We both looked to the exit to find Iida, out of breathe and hands gripping either side of the door frame. A small angry hum came from Todoroki as he strode towards his navy haired companion.

"Thank you, Iida. Y/N, grab a handgun and then go to Uraraka's room." He ordered, giving me a glance from over his shoulder. I gave a hesitant nod as I dashed over to the racks filled with hand guns and picked an identical one to Todoroki's. The duo had left, probably going to sort out whatever chaos had unfolded.

Sighing, I tucked it into my pants, covering it with my shirt. I walked out the room and locked the door, just in case these intruders got down here and used the weapons against us. I ran to the elevator and pressed the button repeatedly, hoping it would open with no one occupying it.

The doors opened after awhile and to my relief, it was empty. I hopped inside and pressed for the eleventh floor. I was met with the reflective metal as the lift began to rise, zooming past about nine floors. Once the doors opened again, I began to walk down the hallway, when I abruptly stopped.

There stood Bakugou, kicking down a door with sparks igniting his palms. I don't think he noticed me, but I didn't want to stand around and find out. Quickly, I spun on my heel and hightailed it back to the elevator.

"Oi!" I cursed under my breathe as I made it back to the elevator and slammed my hand in the button to close the door. I saw Bakugou sprinting down the hallway, his eyes fixated on mine. I felt frozen as I spammed the button, pleading for the doors to close faster.

It was almost fully closed when an explosion forced me back, making me hit the back of the elevator. I gave a short scream, watching in horror as the doors were pried open, ripping the males most likely expensive suit. I winced as I let myself fall to the floor, the pain in my back flaring up once again.

"Why the fuck were you running from me?!"  He yelled, grabbing me by my collar as he lifted me to his eye level. I pushed him back, trying to kick him.

"I don't know!" I yell back, tears forming in my eyes. He shook me as he growled. I also felt the sudden jolt of the elevator, meaning that we we're going up.

"What the fuck do you mean you don't know?!" He exclaimed, tightening his grip. At this point, tears had fallen, both from the pain in my back and the pressure of Bakugou roasting me out. I shook my head, eyes pressed tightly together.

"I don't know! Okay?! I was just told to run away from you." My voice weakened at the end, and the tight grip on my collar was lessened.

"Fucking hell, you need to be more independent, dumbass." I felt my legs give out as I was lowered to the floor, now in a sitting position. I slowly opened my eyes to see his expression softened, still holding a small glare however. His hand went from holding my collar to tilting my chin upwards, so that I was directly facing him.

"Why did you come here?" I ask, my voice quiet and soft. He gave a grunt, massaging my chin with his thumb.

"It wasn't my idea to come and save your sorry ass, you know." He replied, almost dodging my question.

"But you're apart of it. So why do you always keep coming back for me?" I whisper, gazing into his eyes. He seemed surprised by my question, but covered it up by looking downwards.

"I don't fucking know." He growled, lowering his hand from my chin, and setting it on his knees in his crouching position. "Maybe it's because-" the doors of the elevator opened, making voices very prominent.

"Uwah! The bullets bounce right off him!" A voice I recognised as Midoriya screamed, it was hard to hear in the midst of the gun fire. I winced as I looked behind Bakugou to see the chaos. Midoriya was firing a gun at Kirishima, to which the bullets just ricocheted off him because of his quirk and pelted into the wall.
