Mending What Broke: Todoroki Shoto x Reader

A Test

-Gina's POV-

"Welp, this is where I take off from you two! Have a great rest of the night!" Gina excused herself after Kirishima and she gave one another a small fist bump. 

Taking off down a street, Bakugou and Kirishima, watched as she ran down the road, each of them having a suspicious feeling looming in the back of their minds as she continued. None of them bringing it up as they continued talking casually and walking home.

"What's the matter? Why was I called back here?" She questioned, walking through the newly made portal provided my Kurogi. Her presence catching the attention of the four villains that hung around lazily through the hideout.

Toga and Dabi watched the girl from their spot on the couch carefully, as Kurigi looked past her and to Shirigarki who slowly slid off his bar stool, leaving behind a glass of whiskey on the bar behind him.

"We're testing again," Was all he said, leading the way to the chair she was sat inside of many times before, each ending the same way.

"B-but the syrum," She tried reasoning, "It was messing with my quirk and-" Jumping back, the girl immediately went silent as the wall beside her crumbled, tears briming her eyes as Shirigarki held the wall behind the girl's shaking form.

"Do I look like a moron!? You don't think I haven't already gotten that sorted out yet?" He asked, his harsh words causing the girl to shake her head violently.

"No, no, I'm sorry! I misspoke!"

Shirigaraki groaned out, annoyed, scratching the sides of his neck, inching away from the girl

"Just, get in the chair before this show has to run any longer then it has too," He made his way to the chair, the small girl followed behind before being shoved into the chair harshly, the restraints immediately being tightened as Dabi and Toga looked on, quizzically.

Hearing the rattle of the dreaded suitcase that held the syrum inside, the girl began to shake, trying to ease her nerves by taking long, deep breaths as they pulled out the long syringe, the glass and metal shining off as the lamp above her reflected onto it.

"You know, you seem to be getting a little too relaxed around here," Shigaraki spoke, preparing the needle like he had always done, a wicked smile growing on his features as he allinged the needle with the girls, already bruised, veins. The countless amount of needles that she had to endure taking their mark through the past months of U.A. The amount t of times people that she encountered in the streets that had questioned her about being an addict was ranking up in numbers as well. This nightmare never really being escapable.

"Maybe you're getting used to it," The chapped man continued, hesitating at the girl's veins as he looked up to her, her blue eyes stuck to the sharp point of the syringe that aimed at her wrist, "Being a villain that is,"

Hearing this, Gina froze, the needle breaking through her skin as the burning liquid went into her blood stream, her head shaking violently, trying to ignore the searing pain throughout her body.

"N-no! I'm not a-AH!" Attempting to curl up into her own body, she shook, teeth clenched tight as her muscles tensed. "I'm not one of you!" she screamed, the pain causing her vision to go in and out. "I'm not a villain!"

Watching from the side lines, Toga and Dabi looked at the girl as she dug her nails into her own palms, drawing blood as she did so. The liquid dripped from her arms to the floor that had been previously stained the same way.

Growing uneasy at the sight, Kurogi looked back down at the bar, the young girl's screams and crys of pain going on deaf ears as she sat there, lungs and skin burning from the unknown substance that tracked her body's blood stream. Tears streamed down her face as she shook violently.

Her previously snapped shut eyes widening as they turned their natural gold and purple color. As her pupils dilated and faded to white, her body calmed itself, al previous screams and cries disapating as her body got used to the irritated feeling as her self awareness went to the back of her mind. Her body, once again, no longer in control, as she hung in her seat, head down.

Silence grew through the hideout, Dabi growing uneasy at the unmoving girl.

"What the hell was that?" He questioned, only to go unanswered as the girl's head snapped up, her face stained with tears as her once blue eyes glowed.

"A test." Was all that was said as the  man stood in front of the young girl, his hands finding his neck as they violently scratched. Shiragarki walked off to another room. "We'll wait this out. Tell me when she's back to normal. I want to personally escort her home,"

Gina sat there silently, her body not cooperating with her as she watched the group watch her suspiciously.

Saying nothing.

After the effects of the syrum wore off, the girl walked tiredly towards the warp gate. Even though she did nothing, the after math of the strange liquid took a toll on her body. The girl suddenly froze, feeling a hand on her shoulder.

"You need to learn your place again kid," Shiragarki began, walking her out the warp gate. "You're forgetting our little agreement." Tighting his grip on her shoulder, he threatened to place he had held up down.

"If you keep fighting, disobeying... We will. Kill you, your family, All Might, and all those little friends of yours at U.A."

Gina shook slightly as she was pushed through the portal.

"Consider this your last warning kid."
