Unexpected Hero (BNHA Various x Reader)

Why do I have to fight already? I've never been in combat with actual people...' you think to yourself nervously as you stand next to Ojiro. Earlier the three of you decided that Hagakure could try to sneak up on the other team while you two stayed behind and guarded the weapon.

Suddenly you hear something that sounds like water freezing, and before you can react, your feet are frozen in place, and the whole building seems to be covered in ice. 'WHat?! They have too much power! What am I supposed to do?!'

'Wait, calm down... my skin is frozen in place due to the ice, but if I can return enough heat to my feet, then maybe I can break free.' You look around the room, trying to make sure that there is enough sunlight coming through the windows and that it's close enough for you to manipulate its energy into your legs.

You start to feel some of the ice melting when you hear loud crunching coming from the hallway—you look over at Ojiro worriedly, then return your gaze to the doorway only to find Todoroki walking inside. Ojiro gets into a combat-ready position, and you mimic his actions.

"You can move if you want, but the skin on your feet will come off, so you wont be able to fight your best."

You narrow your eyes at his statement, then turn to Ojiro and say, "Hey Ojiro, watch this..." You swiftly break from the ice entrapping your feet with your skin intact, and smirk at Todoroki while Ojiro's eyes widen in surprise..

'Dang, I was wishing he would've been at least a little surprised he sounded so sure of himself,' you think as you slowly move closer to the windows making sure to keep light coming to your feet so you can't get stuck again.

He stares at you, and you maintain eye contact for what seems to be an eternity as the tension rises. Then you notice more ice being generated, you try to jump from the ground, but before you can lift off, your entire body is covered in ice, aside from your head. You start trying to send light into various parts of your body, hoping that you can break free in time.

Todoroki continues walking towards the weapon, touches it, and it's announced that the hero team wins. You start to feel more heat and think that your quirk might be working, but you see

Todoroki's palm steaming. He says to both you and Ojiro, "Sorry. The difference in our ability was too great."

Disappointed, you try to take a step towards the exit but stop when you feel an immense burning sensation in the soles of your feet. You look at Todoroki wondering if maybe he activated his quirk for too long but find that both he and Ojiro had already exited the room.

The burning intensifies, and you wildly look around with fear in your eyes. "Young l/n report back to the monitor room," you hear All Might speak, but the pain becomes unbearable, and you let out a scream, "It burns!" You slump to the ground as the burning continues and rack your mind trying to figure out why you're suddenly burning alive.

You look down at your hands and see that the skin has turned raw. 'What's happening—why am I burning this much?'

"l/n what's happening?" You look up to Ojiro's voice and see him along with Todoroki and Hagakure walking briskly towards you. 'Did I scream that loudly?'

"I think something might be wrong, I—" you inhale sharply, and the pain intensifies. You look down to see some small blisters forming on your hands. You look up at your classmates again with both fear and pain in your eyes. You try to get up, but your body feels numb, and your classmates' voices start to become muffled. As black spots start clouding your vision, you take one last look at the bright sunlight shining through the window you're sitting next to, and then it all fades to black.

THIRD POV
Your classmates look at your unconscious body on the monitor as you're taken to the nurse's office in stunned silence. "What just happened...?" Uraraka asks, breaking the silence. "It wasn't Todoroki... maybe it was a drawback of their quirk," Momo says solemnly.

"What is l/ns quirk?" an unnamed student says aloud, to which Kirishima answers, "They told me that it was light manipulation or maybe they're like a battery. I'm not sure I got confused because I think a lot of other stuff is involved."

"It seemed like they were being burned alive," Iida says with concern heavy in his voice.

Y/N POV
You wake up with a gasp and sit up immediately in what appears to be a bed in the nurse's office.

"You're awake," you turn to the voice belonging to recovery girl as she continues speaking, "I treated your most severe burns located on your hands and feet, but you'll need to apply some aloe vera to the rest of the burns on your body." You nod your head mindlessly and get up to leave the bed when you notice Midoriya also laying in a bed still unconscious.

You let your gaze linger for a little bit, noticing his arm in a sling, then walk out of the nurse's office and start to head towards the classroom. When you open the door, you see that most of your classmates are still there.

You tilt your head in confusion and walk to your desk to get your stuff. You feel a tap on your shoulder and see Momo Yaoyorozu standing in front of you. "Hey, l/n, how're you feeling?"You look at her and say, "Oh, I'm fine... I did feel like I was burning alive, which is a little weird—it's never been that intense before." Now the whole class turns their attention towards you, and you look at them wide-eyed and say, "Did I do something weird?"

'They've gotten burned before?' your classmates all think silently.

"We were just a little concerned because you were screaming a lot and—" you cut Momo off and say, "It's all good! It's just a drawback to my quirk that I wasn't used to. After all, this is one of the longest times I've used my quirk before, and the first time I've ever used it in combat."

They all look at you a little confused, but they seem relieved to see that you're fine, and Kirishima says, "That was pretty manly how you were able to break Todoroki's ice! I didn't think anything could stop him."

You laugh sheepishly and say thanks, then look at Iida and Uraraka's concerned faces and smile at them reassuringly, to which they return the gesture after being flustered a little by your grin.

The door slides open, and Midoriya stands there, mirroring your expression of surprise from moments earlier. "Oh, Midoriyas here," Kirishima says, and a group of students crowds him congratulating him on his battle. After some time passes, Midoriya notices Bakugo's absence, and Uraraka explains that they all tried to stop him, but he went home without saying anything.

Midoriya races out of the classroom, and the rest of you watch from the windows as he and Bakugo seem to be discussing something important. Bakugo turns around to face Midoriya and starts yelling —you think you notice some tears in his eyes, but you arent sure. They continue to yell at each other for a while, then Bakugo walks away, and All Might suddenly shows up and talks to both Midoriya and Bakugo separately.'

That's really strange... I wonder what they were talking about. they must be really passionate about becoming heroes—I never realized that both of them were this determined... I have to try harder.' You think to yourself as you grab your bag and start to leave the classroom with the rest of the students to head home.
