Trigger warning
Violence, death
Todoroki drive from UA to a mall, one he knew would be busy. He walked right in, not caring who saw him there. Normally, a known villain walking around like that would cause panic and hero's would arrive within minutes.
However, some people clearly hadn't got the memo. Some recognised him as the boy who came second in the UA sports festival and came up to him, hoping to get a selfie with him. He glared at them until them left him alone.
Others stood staring at him. Though people had heard about him being a villain, they still saw him as an innocent kid. They couldn't believe that this kid was a villain.
However one of two did take out their phones and call the police. Todoroki smiled at this. The bigger the scene the better. This needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
He reached the centre of the mall, near a fountain with a bench around it. Todoroki looked around him, feeling his body quickly heating up. He had been working to control his fire better, Touya had been teaching him. He was now ready to put it to use.
Fire spread from his finger tips in a sudden blaze. Fiery fingers reached across the mall, setting light to everything around him. Screams echoed around him, mixing with the sounds of crackling fire to create a song that made Todoroki's heart dance.
People were running from the inferno but none of them could get away as the fire surrounded them. The smoke filled the people's lungs as they tried to scream out for help as pain covered their bodies, engulfed in flames.
A path opened in the flames, allowing Todoroki to reach a woman. She was one of the ones who had asked for his photo earlier. He sat on the warm stone floor, charred and covered in soot, and watched the woman.
He looked up at him, recognition flickering in her eyes. "Help me." She said, wheezing and coughing. Todoroki reeled back. "Help you? Why would I? Do I look like a damn hero to you?" He said in disgust .
He grabbed her by the ear, his hand burning into her flesh. She screamed in pain, grabbing his hand but letting go again as the skin on her hands burned and blistered. "No one will save you." He whispered in her ear as flames engulfed her. She screamed but then went silent, never to speak again.
He stood up again, wondering the mall, paths opening through his flames. He passed bodies and people screaming, cornered by his flames. He saw a child in a corner, holding the body of her mother to her little chest.
The mother was dead.
Todoroki walked up to the child and grabbed their hand, pulling he child closer. "Its okay." He whispered into her ear "You'll see mummy soon."
Todoroki smiled to himself, stabbing a knife into the child's back. The body fell to the floor, small blue eyes turning cloudy. Todoroki felt pure joy rush through him, like when he watched Asui's last despite breaths, only less.
That look of betrayal that Asui had given him. The child didn't do that. They died to quickly and they didn't even know Todoroki. It wasn't as fun without it. The fact that it was a child didn't seem to change anything though. He sighed to himself.
It was also more fun to do it with his own hands, rather than watching them burn.
He stood up again, crossing the burning mall again. Parts of the building were collapsing, hitting the floor with a crash.
Todoroki stood in the centre of the world, watching it burn.
