"DON'T FOLLOW ME!!"

"Katsuki..." You whined, eyebrows furrowing. "Please don't do this now..."

Bakugo ignored you, sharply turning his head towards Midoriya. "IT'S FUCKING OBVIOUS I SHOULD JUST KNOCK HIM OUT!!"

"A-and I'm telling you we should avoid a b-battle at all costs!" Midoriya exclaimed, trying to keep up with Bakugo. You frowned, forehead creasing as you tried to think.

"I think...I agree with Izuku. Beating All Might is impossible for someone my size."

"Hah?" Katsuki said, whipping around to face you. "I'll lead him around by the nose up till the final moments, and then I'll smash him when he's tuckered out! Not you, me!"

"Uuu..." Midoriya said, a nervous expression on his face. "Just...just w-who do you think All Might is? No matter the amount of handicaps, the idea that you'd beat him is just..."

Bakugo whirled around, bashing Midoriya in the face with his gauntlet. You gasped, covering your mouth and rushing over to the fallen boy. Bakugo's rage grew stronger as he saw you rush to the boy, and he gave you both a murderous glare.

"Not another goddamn word. Just 'cause you're doing decent...don't you dare say another word, or else I'll really get pissed."

"Urgh...I'm just telling you so that we can pass the test, Kacchan! So listen to me!" Midoriya groaned, clutching his cheek as you helped him up.

"K-Katsuki, please! I just wanna pass! Please just listen to him for once!" You begged, eyebrows furrowing as you stared at him. Bakugo gritted his teeth, and he seemed to snap.

"WHAT, YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY FOR DEFENDING HIM?! YOU'RE JUST A YES MAN, GAS BITCH, YOU HAVE NO SAY IN THIS! AND YOU, DEKU! I TOLD YOU, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP TO PASS, ASSHOLE!"

You felt tears collect in your eyes, and you started to bawl, hot liquid streaming down your cheeks. Why was Bakugo being like this? All you wanted was for your friends to get along, as cheesy as that sounded, and to pass so you could enjoy your summer at the forest lodge.

"Katsuki, why are you so mean?! I wanna see Edgar and play with my snails!" You wailed, trying to rub your tears away. Midoriya embraced you, turning to glare at Katsuki.

"WOULD YOU STOP YELLING?! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! THIS IS WHY WE CAN NEVER HAVE A PROPER CONVERSATION!!" He shouted, making you cry even harder. A large blast of air hit the three of you, making you and Midoriya fall against the dirt ground. You quickly tried to regain your balance, eyes widening as you stared at All Might.

"Now brace yourselves, FOR HERE I COME!!"

  "Hahhh..." You panted, wheezing slightly. "Shit, my oxygen..."

  "Collateral damage to the city? Who gives a fuck!" All Might shouted. "If you're thinking of this as just a test, then you're in for a world of pain. I am a villain, oh heroes, come at me and put your whole hearts into it!"

  You felt an overwhelming pressure start to form, and you backed up, terrified.

  "This is bad, we can't fight him head-on! Let's run!" Midoriya shouted, eyes widening in terror. Bakugo gritted his teeth, grabbing onto his gauntlet.

  "Don't tell me what to fucking do!"

  "Katsuki!" You screamed, trying desperately to regain your breath. You could hear incoherent shouting from Bakugo, and suddenly All Might grabbed his face. You watched as Bakugo mercilessly blasted him, unable to move. All Might started to fall, but then caught himself.

  At that moment, you realized there was nothing you could do.

  "Izuku!" You shouted, grabbing onto him and starting to run. You started to panick, trying to conserve as much oxygen as you could, while at the same time trying to run as fast as you could.

  "And now!"

  Suddenly, All Might was in front of you two, dust gathering behind him. "You'll soon join him, Young Midoriya and L/N!"

  You yelped, letting go of Midoriya so you could both jump back.

  "You going to abandon your teammate and run?" All Might said lowly, eyes flashing. You glanced back at Katsuki, eyes widening. He was on the ground, coughing and spluttering. You took in a sharp breath, whirling back around to face All Might. Midoriya activated his Full Cowl, leaping into the air. Your eyes narrowed as you emitted a thick purple smog from your body, changing it into a rocket launcher. You flicked your finger backwards, letting the weapon fly to your shoulder.

  "Like hell I will!" You shouted, and fired.
