My Healer Academia (Bakugo x OC x Todoroki)

Rage, You Damn Nerd - Bakugo's Start Line

               All Might spared no entertainment expense as he held out the large bold words that read "Battle." Combat training?! The room was a majority in favor for their lesson for today, but Midoriya and Ai's nerves basically fed off of each other. All of the fighting techniques I know are from Bakugo-kun, Ai thought. She couldn't help but sigh. And even then, all he wanted to do was beat me up...

               However, their spirits were lifted once the panels emerged from the wall. "Costumes made based on your quirk registrations," All Might explained, "and requests you sent in before school started." The anxiety that Midoriya and Ai felt was washed away by the excitement of their upcoming transformations. "After you change, gather in Ground Beta!"

               "Yes sir!"

               As All Might waited on the battleground, a refreshing smile on his face, he watched his students emerge from the entrance. Ai held her head down, her face flushing underneath the hood of her cape when she felt the breeze brush against her exposed legs. I should have changed my costume design, Ai thought bitterly. She wanted to crawl into a hole and die. However, the sudden gasp from her friends within the back of the group made Ai jump, the hood dropping from her head and making her hair flow down behind her.

               "A-Ai-chan?!" Midoriya was already flustered from Uraraka's skintight costume, but he didn't realize that this was a common trend among his female peers.

               "Ai-chan! You look so cool," Uraraka exclaimed, her face beaming as she admired Ai's bold appearance. She wore a white, long-sleeved bodysuit with a matching hooded cloak and booties, diagonally affixed with an emerald leather belt across her waist with slits that acted as miniature pockets.

               "I feel like I plagiarized," Ai stammered, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. "I told them that I wanted a costume design similar to R-Raven so..."

               "Raven..." Midoriya placed his index finger and thumb on his chin, thinking intently before his brain clicked like a lightbulb. "Oh, the character from Teen Titans?!" Ai placed her hands in front of her and shook them violently, quietly attempting to shush him, but Midoriya didn't get the hint. "Wow, that's amazing, Ai-chan. You look really good!" Ai's hands dropped in front of her as she turned to the side, blushing at the ground.

               "A-Arigato..."

               And thus began the 2-on-2, heroes versus villains: indoor battles.

               "Because there are an odd number of students within this class, the last person to draw will be placed on an already established team," All Might explained. "However, even with this additional person, the rules will remain the same!" He clenched his fist powerfully as he gazed among his students. "The more you practice arbitrary numbers against strong opponents, the better equipped you'll be for unexpected villain encounters in the real world!" With the starstruck manner of his class, All Might let out an immense laugh.

               "I understand," Ai whispered to herself, pacing the hallways of the first floor. "I understand, but... Ahh why am I stuck on guard duty?!" She had been the last person to have her name drawn, therefore being placed with a random letter: D. While Bakugo and Iida stayed with the paper mâché nuclear weapon, it was Ai's job to split up their enemy duo and take on Uraraka. "This is so unfair and sexist," she grumbled, pausing as she heard All Might's announcement of the start of the indoor combat training. Before she knew it, Ai felt the rumble of a nearby explosion shake her feet, and she bolted to the cause of the commotion.
