Hey Soulmate! [(Bakugo Katsuki) Two-Month Hiatus]

Chapter Thirty-four

After doing our thing, we went out of Endeavor-san's agency to patrol Hosu, keep an eye out for any suspicious activities. We've heard that Stain mainly does his kills at night. Stain might be taking advantage of the fact that more heroes are patrolling at night. He'll be prowling for those who work alone.

Ever since we left the building, my stomach had been feeling queasy once again, reminding me of that one time at the bus before the USJ incident happened. This time, I learned not to ignore it.

"Esqueleto, I've got a bad feelin'. Let's be more on guard." Knowing that I never joke about this, he nodded seriously.

I tried to keep the uneasiness by talking with Esqueleto, multitasking by chatting and keeping an eye. Yeah, it was a bad idea for a hero in training, I know. Papa smacked us both in the head for that. No need for your scoldings.

And just when I thought there's no more problem other than Stain's issues and my instinct, a Nomu suddenly flew in and an old guy came.

So I was right. Well, my instinct was right.

Seeing the Nomu brought many horrible memories. The villains, handman, Uncle, and.. his blood. His thick blood that had once stained my wings. No matter how many days had passed, I still can't forgive myself for just standing there like an idiot. I remembered how useless I was that day. I don't want a repeat of that day.

Sweat gathered at my palms as I rubbed them. The nervousness piled itself in my stomach like a huge stack of papers and it's making me slightly nauseous. I gripped my wing, caressing its soft feathers to soothe my uneasiness.

Endeavor-san immediately took action and burned the thing out with his flames. He marched over to the old guy's direction with pride, stating that he could handle the monster all right. I felt little when I saw him standing there high and mighty.

I observed as people rushed and ran towards another direction, where it's possibly safe.

I tugged Esqueleto's arm, taking notice of the Nomu's appearance.

"Hey, the Nomu's white. And why is there another one?" I asked. Why is there a Nomu that's just in a random place? And exactly at Hosu where the hero killing is being done at?

"I don't know. But there may be other ones. You feel the vibrations from below, right?" I nodded. The vibrations were quite small, so that must mean that people from other places are also panicking. There must be another Nomu out there. Possibly more. This is dangerous. Hopefully, the Nomus won't be much trouble like the first one we encountered back at the USJ. If All Might had a little problem with that, then even this might be the biggest problem for us.

I noticed some thick black smoke out of the corner of my eye and pointed it out to Esqueleto. "There's more of them, there's some stampede happening over there." I stated as I adjusted my visor to get a better view. There are more smokes over there.

And then, 50/50 suddenly got a notification. And us too.

Broccoli-chan's location?

I'm pretty sure this is serious. He wouldn't just randomly tell us his location for a rendezvous. And judging that there's no more following notifs from him, he might be in a pinch. He's near us so he might have encountered a Nomu. Or worse, the hero killer himself... But what about the other heroes? No, no. I'm overthinking.

50/50 fled away from the battle and we almost followed him until I grasped Esqueleto's wrist, looking back to Papa's direction. His cerulean eyes held so much worry and confusion. I silently asked permission to help 50/50, waiting for his response. To my thanks and relief, he breathed out a sigh and nodded solemnly, almost as if afraid to let me go. And with that, I grabbed both if Esqueleto's arms and ran, taking off as my wings flapped.
