THE REAPER || BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA FANFIC ||

SAFE [PART 44]

3rd POV 

As the fight between All Might and Nomu continued, Reaper slowly woke up. Her face started regaining her natural color, her eyes had a small spark in them as they scan the area around her. She groans a bit and clutches her stomach, the wound was completely healed and the pain ceased away as the time passes. She then noticed someone was holding her, she looked up and was met with heterochromia eyes.

Her eyes were wide and a blush came over her cheeks, he continued to stare at her and worried slightly when he saw her pinkish face, thinking she got a fever, he brought her closer to his chest. She felt her breath hitch a bit and she softly pushes against his chest with her hand, "Todoroki," she called out as she looks away, "I'm fine, so... You can let go of me..."

Reluctantly, he lets go of her body but stayed close to her. She dusted herself off and looked at the fight between All Might and Nomu, "So what did I miss?" Her question caught everyone's attention around her, including Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Midoriya and they were shocked and surprised to see her completely back to her old self, it was as if she wasn't bleeding to death a while ago.

Shigaraki narrowed his eyes at her while Kurogiri widens his, meanwhile, Reaper was hugged by Midoriya immediately. She looked surprised up at him as he stared back at her with slightly shaky eyes, "Reaper, please... Don't do that ever again...." He whispered as he hiccuped softly while holding onto her body as tightly as he could. She runs her fingers through his locks as she reassured, "I'll try to be safer next time, Midoriya."

Bakugo pulled Midoriya away from her hold and glared at him, Midoriya shivered a bit and backed up. Bakugo turned towards her and stared at her, she stared back with curious eyes. He scoffed slightly and looked away, she understood that action. She grins and teasingly looked at him, he turned away from her teasing face with slightly flushed cheeks. 

'I wonder what he wants to say to me after all this,' she thought to herself as she continued to teasingly stare at his embarrassed face. Suddenly, the ground shooked and everyone drew their attention towards All Might, who sends Nomue with a powerful punch through the roof of USJ. She whistles as she saw the creature fly into the unknown, she could imagine the other gods' faces when Nomu flies through Asgard. 

She couldn't help but snort softly, catching the other's attention. She waved them off and continued watching the scene, All Might turns towards Kurogiri and Shigaraki, standing strong and bruised. "I have gotten weaker... In my prime, five hits would've been enough. But it took more than 300 hits." Reaper's eyes widen by a fraction when she realized his condition along with Midoriya.

'Shit,' she swore internally, 'He's at his limit.' She had a frown on her face as she carefully watches, ready to jump in once again if the situation got out of hand. "Now, villains..." All Might spoke as he looked at them, "I'm sure we'd all like to end this soon as possible." Shigaraki flinches back slightly and started scratching his neck, Reaper noticed his behavior and sighs. 

"Weaker? No way." Shigaraki said as he viciously scratched his neck, "We've been completely overwhelmed. I can't believe he did that to my Nomu... Did he use a cheat?!" His eyes were burning with fury as he continued rambling, "Hey, what's going on? He's not any weaker at all. Did that guy lie to me?!" All Might took this chance to mock the situation, "What's wrong? You're not coming?"

Shigaraki stared at him with narrowed eyes as he continued scratching his neck, All Might spoke again, "You said you'd 'clear' this or something, right? Come and get me if you can." Bakugo whispers, "All Might..." Todoroki then said, "As expected, it looks like there is o need for us to fight." They all were about to walk but Reaper and Midoriya stood where they were, they stared straight at All Might.
