Short Circuit My Heart - ShinKami

So This Is Death?

Shigiraki's POV

I decided to drop the tower on my main enemy, All might, so I could go help Dabi. Eraserhead was good, I'll give him that, but together Dabi and I were better. The cables I exposed were sparking in the rain. I heard screams and shouts from our once captive. We didn't need him anymore. Our only goal was to escape. The police were busy with our goons. Replaceable ones at best.

Then I saw Kurogiri getting lugged away. Out cold. I started seething with anger. I grabbed at Eraser-Head. Almost grabbing him twice, until he maneuvered out of my way and I grazed Dabi's side. As he happened to be blasting at the conniving hero. My hand got burnt. Pretty bad. I screamed out, out at nothing. I know nothing will help me for the time being. Dabi's eyes were wide and he put out his flames.

"No, no, no, no." Was all I heard as white hot searing pain lashed up my hand and arm. Dabi let out a low growl at Eraser-head as he stalked around us. Not sure if he should risk getting closer to Dabi, risk his temper burning us all. Something past the hero made Dabi's eyes go wide, and he got that feral smile of his I adore. If his smile was the last thing I ever saw. I would die happy.

Dabi cradled me while I nursed my charred hand. "There's something you should know." He said as Eraser-Head stared straight at us, nullifying both of our quirks now that we were still. He seemed somewhat curious, behind those gaudy goggles of his. Dabi nodded behind him. Eraser-Head wasn't dumb enough to fall for a little slight of hand.

"You're about to lose two kids." He whispered. As if he timed it the new boy. The one I didn't know, with yellow hair, grabbed two sides of the open cables. Like, he was trying to complete the circuit to keep the sparks from the water, to keep the sparks from Shinso. Screaming, as if the electricity was too much for him to handle passing through him like that. Eraser-Head whipped his head around. Dabi took this as an opportunity to blast the ground under him. Throwing the hero across the courtyard into a wall. Dabi scooped me up and ran like hell.

At this point I was gasping, but I no longer felt anything. A tightness in my muscles and numbness, that's it. I... I didn't feel anything! I can't feel my hand. My hand. The key to my quirk. I can't move it.

"Dabi, Dabi I can't feel my hand. Dabi, I can't feel it." I muttered that sentence like a mantra. Panic dripping from me. My lungs were closing up, I couldn't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't feel it anymore. I started sobbing. Sobbing into Dabi's shirt while he ran through the woods. We found an escape route the first day we picked this spot, I assume that's where he was running.

"It's okay. It'll be okay Shigaraki. You'll be okay Tomura." He said through panting. I had to be wearing him down, but my eyes were so heavy. I trusted him, I knew he'd make sure I was okay. And with that, I was out.

Denki's POV

I made a split second decision.

After finding out about my quirk, I tested the limits of it and trained of course. But, I also studied electricity. I read about electrical currents and how it works. I learned the science. I learned that I was a conductor and collector of all the pent up electricity in the people and plants around me. So if I'm a conductor and collector, then my plan should work.

Without hesitation, because I know if I thought too hard on this I'd back out. Shinso is freaking out, not more than five feet away from me, the rain is pouring, adding to the sparking. If Shinso keeps moving, he's going to fall into the giant electric puddle and die. I leapt into the center of the open cable. Grabbing both ends I let the electricity flow through me.

It was nothing like training at school with a car battery. I remember when Todoroki splashed water on me and I short circuited and passed out. This was so much worse. With the pouring rain, and being in a puddle, and all the city's electricity pulsing through me. I felt like I was dying. I don't know when I started screaming but it didn't stop. This was unending. I couldn't stand, my hands had already been burnt and they kept burning.

I couldn't let go. Shinso could die if I did. Even acting as a conductor I couldn't stop the sparking. I had to take it a step further. Through the pain, through my muscles convulsing, through all that I had to focus. Draw all the electricity to me. And so I did.

I pulled it all in and the sparking stopped. It was too much. It was too much. Someone help me please. Please. I'm a kid. I still have a life to experience.

"Denki!" I heard someone scream.
