17.Unlikely Savior

Deku laughed when he saw the shocked expressions on the two student's faces. But it didn't last as Bakugou got angry and started yelling again. "Don't spout that nonsense! And as if you would have actually tried to jump! You can't even take a few insults without bawling your eyes out! Besides, why would this group of bastards even want with you?! You're absolutely useless!"

"Deku is far from useless. Those quirk analysis skills surpass those of any professional," Kurogiri stated. "Perhaps you should stop and consider things more carefully before jumping to conclusions. Quirks aren't everything in this world."

Bakugo scoffed like he couldn't believe his ears. "Yeah right. Deku is still Deku. He's always going to be a weak nerd and nothing more," Bakugo stated.

Deku raised a fist, preparing to punch him when Shigaraki finally spoke. "Stop right there Deku. I have plans for that boy, so don't damage him even further. If you're really that angry, then hit the other kid. I wasn't planning on taking him, so I don't care what happens."

Hearing this, Tokoyami shook his head. He was scared of what he thought was about to happen, but Deku sighed. "Don't worry Tokoyami, I won't hit you. I'm just angry about Bakugou being here. I don't have any beef with you." Shaking his head, Deku picked his helmet and went to set it in on the bar. "You know, I might have said a little too much in that fit of mine. And even though it was just a double made with Twice's quirk, I feel bad for killing them."

Bakugou scoffed. "Like I said, you're still nothing more than a wimp."

"Bakugou that's enough. Stop antagonizing him," Tokoyami said.

Deku laughed when he heard the two of them. "He's right Bakugou. Remember, this wimp kicked both your butt at the USJ. Though I do kinda feel bad for having to get Kirishima involved" Deku looked at Tokoyami, and realized that he felt bad for him. He wasn't a target, yet he had still got captured. "Hey Shigaraki, you said you don't care what happens to this one right."

Tokoyami didn't like the sound of what he was hearing, and neither did Shigaraki. "Yes, but I'm not going to just let him go. I'll either try and recruit him or send him off as material for a new Nomu. I haven't decided yet."

Deku's stomach felt uneasy. He didn't like the idea of Tokoyami being turned unto one of those abominations. "Of course, I wouldn't suggest freeing him. Though I do have an idea that would work for both of us." Deku turned towards Tokoyami with a serious look. "Just as you took Bakugou so he could help further your plans, give me Tokoyami. I'll find a use for him, and keep him under control."

Tokoyami gave Deku a surprised look.

"Hmm, I'm not sure. If he were to escape, then it could ruin everything."

Deku stared Shigaraki in the eye as he spoke. "Don't worry, I'll make sure that won't happen. He could try, but he wouldn't make it far. And if anything were to happen, then I'll take full responsibility."

Shigaraki smiled. He wasn't sure what to do with the kid, but Deku would. And if he were to screw up, then it would still work in his favor as he didn't like Deku that much. "Very well, he's yours to do with as you please. Though if you mess up even once, then both of you will suffer."

Deku nodded his head before walking over to untie Tokoyami, while of course, ignoring Bakugou's yelling.

"Wait, why are you doing this," Tokoyami asked.

"Hey Kurogiri, can you take us back to my place?"

A few seconds later, the three of them were standing in Deku's living room. "Young Tokoyami," Kurogiri said. "While you may not believe it, Deku is trying to help you out. It is best if you did as he asked of you." After saying this, Kurogiri warped himself away.
