Hero Too!

Chapter Sixteen (Uraraka)

I bounced over towards Izuku to see him sulking. "What's wrong Izu?" I ask. "I don't want to even be here." he grumbles.

"What do you mean?" I question quietly. "I don't want to be some stupid hero! I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to be like my dad. I don't want to be in the hero course. I don't want to 'save the day'. I just want to be a teenager!" he rants. I quickly hug him and pat his back softly.

He hugs back and we just wait until we are called up for the fight. "Sorry. I'm wasting your chance of being a hero. Let's form a plan, yeah?" he says. I nod and we discuss a small plan.

"Bakugo will definitely try to go after me. I will distract him since he probably left Iida to protect the bomb. You can go and try to sneak up to get the bomb. I'll stay back to fight the angry explosive bitch." he says.

"Alright. You sure?" I ask. "Certain. When you go up, try to be as quiet as possible. I'll try to get past Bakuhoe to help you. Okay?" he explains farther. I nod in agreement. Then All Might's voice rings throughout the building and into our earpieces. "Begin!"

We both walked into the building and glanced around carefully. I nodded to Izuku before progressing slightly down the hallway. I check to see nobody coming so I signal him to advance. Once he came beside me, we heard heaving stomping.

"Way to give your position away." Izuku grumbles. I just choose to ignore him and continue on towards a closet. I slip inside and close the door quietly. Izuku is purposefully waiting by the entrance so Bakugo can come down to fight him, while I slip past him and get to the bomb.

"DEKUUUU!!" I hear Bakugo shout at the top of his lungs. I wait a second before slowly peeking out of the closet. I see Izuku dodging a ruthless attack from Bakugo. He's able to slip a small wink in my direction, saying that I can go. I nod and start making my way up to the bomb.

I go up a couple of flights before hearing a large explosion. I look back and hope that Izu is okay. I shake the thought away and keep progressing.

I climb up a couple more stairs before I see Iida positioned outside the only entrance to the room with the bomb in it. I hear another explosion and a lot of shouting. Iida looks towards the stairs to which I quickly jump out of view and wait. He then turns around and keeps scouting out the area.

As quietly as I can, I shuffle over towards him. He spots me and charges. Well so much for stealth. He raises his leg, ready to strike. At the last moment, I put my hands up and quickly touch him. I didn't intend to use my quirk, I was originally just going to block but the works too.

I make him float and quickly rush into towards the bomb. He tries to use his engines to move forward but he was too late.

"Heroes win!" All Might shouts. I let Iida go and apologise. "I'm sorry Iida!" I apologise. "It's alright Uraraka. It was part of the exercise. Nice quick thinking." he comments. I beam and nod. We make our way back to the observation room to see Bakugo super pissy and Izuku just ignoring the Pomeranian.

"Hey Izuku! How did you do?" I ask while bouncing towards the taller. "Eh. Good job with Iida! You too Iida. I know working with Bakugo can be a struggle." the boy comments, completely ignoring the death glares from Bakugo.

"Thank you Mi- Izuku. You did great as well." Iida says. "All right! Does anyone want to say who the MVP of this match was? And why?" All Might says in his teacher voice. Or tries a teacher voice.

"I can." Yaoyorozu speaks up. "I believe Midoriya should since he put together a well thought out plan, having already guessed what Bakugo and Iida were to do. He distracted Bakugo and trusted that his partner would be able to get to the bomb." Yaoyorozu explains. "Heh. Thanks. But it was luck coming from me." Izuku spoke up. I smack him lightly while Hitoshi rolls his eyes. "Take some credit for once will ya?" Hitoshi says.
