Down Time and School Days

Ch.35- Down Time and School Days

"Purification..." RB spoke with a tone of exhaustion.

He watched as Kuro checked on the most recent victim. Recognizing the teen before him, but unable to recall the name. A common problem for him it appeared. After about three minutes, with his ring down to two minutes and Kuro's down to one, the pair took off.

An alleyway in the small residential area near UA was the perfect place to transform back. Both laying their backs against a wall on opposite sides of the other. You catching Plagg as he overdramatically landed in your hands. Tikki simply floating down onto Bakugou's shoulder.

"Put me out of my misery, (Name)." Plagg held up a tiny paw. "Seventeen akumas in the past two weeks is already killing me..."

You rolled your eyes, bringing the kwami back to life with a little cheese. The cat happily eating it as Bakugou handed Tikki a small fun-sized candy bar. The two kwamis happily eating as you and Bakugou started to talk.

"Poor Shiozaki... I hope she'll find an opera house filling to take her soon..." You commented, Bakugou making note of the name.

"Did she seriously get so pissed off by a rejection she turned herself into some weird plant haired freak?" Bakugou huffed, making you shake your head.

"And this is why Kuro has a reputation for being the kind one." You teased him lightly.

"Remember that just because it doesn't matter to you, it might matter the world to someone else." Tikki added on, having finished stuffing her face.

"Don't gang up on me, assholes..." Bakugou growled though you and Tikki knew he would not do anything aside from bark more empty threats and insults.

You laughed, putting Plagg into your bag, Bakugou doing the same to Tikki for his own. School started soon... so you both should start getting a move on, less you be late and suffer Aizawa's wrath.

"I am tired though..." You yawned, rubbing at your eyes. "Monarch must have realized too that when you akumatize someone once... you can't do it again."

"Did we ever figure out if it was my Tikki's purification or Nooroo's generosity?" Bakugou asked, watching you ponder on the question a moment.

"Maybe both?" You shrugged. "Tikki's purification makes it so you can't be akumatized, but Nooroo makes it so you are happier and willing to fix what may have gotten you akumatized in the first place."

"How so?" Bakugou seemed in disbelief of your theory.

"Kaminari is a bit more responsible, Jirou doesn't let others get under her skin as much, Midoriya is more self-confident, Shinsou is pushing himself towards being better, and me... well, I'm not letting my social anxiety run my life nearly as much." You counted off a few examples on your fingers.

Bakugou rolled his eyes, but lovingly ruffled your locks as he started to speed walk towards UA.

"Well look at that... guess all it took was a little fucking magic."

"Don't you start... seeing as you were just as vulnerable as me that day."

He shrugged. "Worked out in the end, didn't it?"

You huffed, crossing your arms. He was right... but at that moment, you had a feeling it wasn't very fun for either one of you. Or Midoriya, who got the rough end of your rage.

"I didn't mean it." Bakugou flicked your nose. "Maybe next time Nooroo and Tikki will get you to stop taking everything so fucking seriously."

"I can't help it! I was raised by scholars and am dealing with a supervillain." You sighed. "God I just want to find out who Monarch is and stop him already..."
