Finding Me (Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 11

"Everyone, come with me. Now!"

No one argued with the rescue hero, as Thirteen led us back towards the entrance. No one... except Midoriya.

"Midoriya!" I called out, stopping momentarily to make sure my friend was all right. He turned my way, a concerned look adoring his freckles face.

"But, Mr. Aizawa..."

"You can't be a Pro Hero if you only have one trick," was the underworld hero's response, adorning his Eraserhead goggles, before leaping head on into battle.

Both Midoriya and I watched for a few moments, watching our homeroom teacher absolutely kick butt. 'Oh heck yeah, our teacher is handing them their asses! ' I smiled briefly, before I heard a cry sound from behind me.

"Midoriya! L/N!" Iida cried out. "We need to go. Let Mr. Aizawa handle it. Right now we need to leave and find help."

Both Midoriya and I nodded, sprinting back towards our group. Everyone was running, but soon we caught back up, and I made my way to beside Todoroki.

"What were you doing staying behind? You're crazy," he exclaimed, trying to lecture me while out of breath.

"I was making sure Midoriya didn't get himself killed," I replied, my hard tone stopping the conversation completely. 

'He can berate me all he wants after we get out of here,' I decided, still running towards the exit. 'He can say whatever he wants to me about being reckless, but I won't let my friends get hurt. Not ever. Not if I can help them.'

Suddenly, just before we reached the doors, a huge cloud of purple and black mist appeared in front of us, stopping us in our tracks. When we halted, two yellow slits appeared in the mist, and I assumed them to be some sort of eyes, as the smokey figure started speaking.

"Hello, students of UA HIgh," he greeted, his tone surprisingly formal and polite, yet deep and resounding. "We are the League of Villains, who have come to annihilate the one true light on this earth. The world's Symbol of Peace: All Might."

We all stood in stunned silence, our limbs frozen in fear at the misty figure's words. 'They're after All Might? Why go for him here, then? Do they realise he's not even here? ' 

So many questions, but unfortunately, I didn't have the answer to any of them. Looking around, my anxiety grew ten-fold when I realised just how defenceless we actually we were. One Pro Hero, and a bunch of fifteen-year-old amateur and wannabe heroes didn't exactly seem like the ideal rescue squad.

"However," the portal guy continued, not phased in the slightest. "It seems as the the Number One Hero isn't here, though. How sad. Shigaraki will not be happy about this. No matter, you will all die, anyways."

"Think again, you over-sized chimney!"

Everyone's attention drew to the ash-blond boy, who started sparking up as he sprinted towards the portal man.

"How are you gonna kill us if we fight back?"

"Bet you didn't think about that, did ya?" Kirishima ran alongside Bakugou, over-confident grins on their faces.

"No, boys. Stop!" Thirteen tried stopping them, but it was too late. Both Bakugou and Kirishima leapt into the air, throwing back their fists before flinging them forward and landing a hit.

The explosion that radiated from them caused rubble to fly in every which direction. A huge wave of the rubble flying our way, and everyone braced for impact. 'I gotta do something! '
