Hello everyone! There will be a new chapter from S4 in a couple days but I'm still outlining the direction of the story so it's not quite ready yet. Although, I've had this idea in my head for a couple weeks and wanted to write a little side adventure with the characters. I hope you will still read regardless while waiting for the actual new chapter. Warning though, this has many feels (and coming from me, that's saying a lot so be prepared) *gives free tissues* Hope you enjoy!
P.S. This story takes place a couple weeks after Amari activates her quirk for her brother at the end of S4 Ch1 and will be canon.
Bakugo grumbled to himself as he walked down the busy public streets, hands stuffed into his pockets like always. His mother had called him and yelled at him to get some groceries since he had done nothing but eat out every day since they entered the dorms. He just didn't care and was too worried with Amari at the time to leave her. Although now that everything was okay, he had no more excuses.
Thinking back to his sister, Amari had been training with Endeavor every chance she got, all while still caring for her wellbeing which Katsuki was grateful for. It seemed like she had grown up in these past couple weeks. He was honestly proud of her, knowing that soon enough she'd be a real force to be reckoned with.
He turned the corner only to stop when he noticed two very familiar figures in front of him, one of them being his sister and the other that icy hot bastard. "Katsuki, what are you doing here? You don't usually go out on a Sunday."
Looking down, Bakugo found the two holding hands and tried not to gag, still not liking the memory of his sister making out with that boy in his mind. "The old hag told me I had to go outside or she'd come find me, stubborn woman."
Amari couldn't help but crack a smile at that. "Ah, sounds like her. I got that speech last week."
Katsuki groaned back, knowing they shared the same experience, now pointing to their intertwined hands. "And what are you two doing? It wouldn't have killed you to tell me where you were going stupid."
The girl opened her mouth to answer when Todoroki did so for her, showing Bakugo their hands by raising their arms. "We're on a date."
Rolling his eyes, Bakugo scoffed. "Yeah dumbass, I got that. Put your hands down already, I don't wanna see that shit. I meant, what are you doing on your...date.."
He gagged a bit at the word date causing Amari to smirk, knowing he was trying his best to accept them. "Oh well, Shoto wanted to show me this butterfly garden exhibit down the road. Do you wanna come?"
Although Katsuki seemed less than pleased, Shoto breathed a sigh of relief as well. He kind of just wanted it to be Amari and him anyways. Bakugo would probably scare the butterfly's away. "Hell no, that sounds like torture."
Just then, the phone began to ring in her pocket and Amari pulled out the object before sighing and turning to Todoroki. "It's your father. I have to take this. Do you mind waiting a couple seconds? I'll be really fast."
Yet the boy didn't seem to mind, just nodded his head. "It's not a problem at all. Take your time."
Amari smiled at that before waving to Katsuki and lifting the phone up to her ear. "Thanks, you're the best. See you around Katsuki, make sure you get enough groceries so you can cook me dinner tonight!"
At her words, Bakugo's eyes widened, shouting back. "What, like I would ever do that! You can make your own damn dinner!"
Amari's eyes narrowed at that, calling back in a teasing tone. "Alright, I mean if you can't do it then I understand..."
This gave her the reaction she wanted, watching her brother flare up at the sense of a challenge. "What, screw you! Just for that I'm going to make the best dinner you've ever seen! Get ready to eat your words Amari!"
The girl only winked though, waving him away as she walked. "We'll see about that. Regardless though, I look forward to it."
Once she was gone, the boys stood in absolute silence for a couple moments until Bakugo realized his sister's trick. Oh that girl was too cunning, playing him like that. He hated how easy he was to read sometimes.
Grumbling to himself, the boy glanced at Todoroki before glaring, the tension clearly thicker than air. It was no surprise the two still had issues between each other, although they were trying to get along, for Amari's sake.
Looking in the direction she went, Todoroki spoke first, cutting the air. "With everything happening and my old man training her, I wanted her to be able to relax a bit. That's why I took her out today. She deserves to smile again after working so hard."
Katsuki glanced at the boy before sighing heavily. This bastard was a pain in the butt but he always seemed to want the best for her. "That idiot's changed somehow. She seems happier now."
Smiling to himself, Todoroki nodded. "I think that's partly because of you Bakugo. I guess, she finally feels accepted by you, like she doesn't have to hide anymore. I'm glad."
Amari's brother saw the absolute adoration on Todoroki's face and couldn't help but shake his head, knowing he couldn't be that cocky. "That's not all it is, you bastard. She's happy because of you too. Don't get me wrong, I still think that idiot can do so much better…"
Frowning back, Katsuki finished his sentence. "But you were there for her when I wasn't, and I'll never be able to take that back."
Widening his eyes in surprise, Todoroki had never thought he would hear those words from Bakugo's mouth. It was like he was finally accepting the two of them as a couple, although he would never say it out loud, but that was enough for the boy. He knew what Bakugo meant.
Thinking back all those months ago, it was hard to believe the three of them were the same people as when they started. It's like they all had grown from these experiences, Bakugo learning to express himself, Todoroki learning how to love and Amari learning how to accept her power. It was kind of miraculous.
Todoroki opened his mouth to speak when suddenly a loud explosion was heard only a couple blocks away, causing the locals around them to gasp and scream in surprise. What the heck was that?
The two boys shared a look before sprinting off towards the scene, knowing they were kids but still feeling the need to do something. They were hero's after all, and who knows how long it would take for the pros to arrive..
Running into the rubble, they heard soft laughter as a middle aged man revealed himself in the debre. Oh crap, it was a villain.
He laid eyes on the two boys before cocking his head to the side. "Oh, how interesting. Are you two heros?"
Todoroki's eyes quickly glanced at the civilians that were shaking in fear and threw his arm and shouted. "Go, get out of here!"
They complied as the villain eyed them with interest. "How noble. Are you two friends?"
Although to that, Bakugo grumbled. "Hell, no! Like I would be friends with this bastard, although doesn't doesn't mean we won't kick your ass! Get ready villain!"
Letting his palms spark to life, Katsuki then raced forward only for the man to touch his arm in interest. "Hmm interesting. You're not friends but you have a common thread between the two of you."
Katsuki frowned, pulling back immediately. Who the hell even was this guy? "What the hell are you talking about?!"
Since he was distracted, Todoroki took the chance and threw a large sheet of his ice in the man's direction, although the villain was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was standing behind the boy. "Now, let's see about you.."
Then, he touched Todoroki's shoulder only for the boy to shove him away, the villain now smiling. "Oh, I see what holds you together. It's the girl, she's in both of your destiny's."
At that Bakugo's eyes widened, knowing exactly what he meant. That bastard was going to go after Amari. Over his dead body. "I don't think so bastard, you stay away from her!"
Yet once again, the boy only missed as the villain appeared a couple feet away, now holding up a golden string. "It's funny, isn't it? The littlest change can disrupt so much. Now, let's see what this does…
Just then, the string snapped in half as both Todoroki and Bakugo felt a heavy pain in their stomachs, like something inside of them had broken all at once.
Coughing out blood, the two then slumped to ground as black spots pooled in their vision, now hearing the man's voice echo in their ears all at once. "Let's see how you handle this, heroes.."
Then, all at once, the two lost consciousness, falling to the ground as their arms grew lifeless.
Gasping awake, Bakugo shot out of bed, breathing heavily and looking around in a hundred million directions. After refocusing his eyes, the boy appeared to be in his bed at home, now noticing the very familiar walls around him. What the hell? Was all that some terrible dream? Bakugo did have nightmares before so the idea didn't seem completely out of the ballpark.
He stood up before wiping the sweat off his forehead with his shirt as his mother screamed through the walls. "Katsuki! You better have gotten your ass up! You'll be late for school!"
Groaning to himself, Katsuki quickly grabbed his school shirt before walking down the hall and stopping by Amari's bedroom. The other side seemed eerily quiet which meant the idiot was probably still sleeping.
He banged on the surface a couple times only to get no response which made the boy even more frustrated. "Hey Amari, get your ass up!"
Yet once again, he was only met with silence, causing the boy to groan. "You have five seconds before I kick down this door and get you up myself!"
Although after a couple moments, the room was still silent. Alright, she asked for it.
Using his left foot, Bakugo then kicked open her door before barging in with a raging shout. "Alright Amari, quit screwing around, I said it's time for school..!"
He huffed in response only to widen his eyes with a mix of confusion and terror.
Amari wasn't there.
And that wasn't all, the room that once occupied her bed and table was now filled with boxes of leftover office supplies, just like how it was before she moved in. Honestly, it didn't even look like the room was ever used.
Feeling a heavy weight in his stomach, Bakugo turned around before racing down the stairs in confusion only to see his mother. "Katsuki, it's about time! Sit down, I made breakfast for you and your father.."
At the mention of everyone but his sister, Bakugo huffed out a response, only thinking about one thing in particular. "Where the hell is Amari? Her room is all screwed up."
His mother and father looked between each other before Mitsuki placed a hand up to his son's forehead. "Are you feeling alright Katsuki? Do you have a fever or something?"
But Katsuki only slapped her hand away, shouting back. "What, no I fucking don't. Why are you avoiding the question? Where is Amari?!"
Frowning back, Mitsuki didn't notice a fever but still felt concerned for the boy. "Katsuki, what are you saying, your sister doesn't live here. She hasn't since you two were in kindergarten."
The words felt like a heavy hit to his chest. His sister didn't live here? Bullshit, she moved in after the whole USJ training incident.
Taking a woozy step forward his mother frowned. "Maybe you should take the day off from school today, you don't look so good."
Although all Bakugo could think about was finding his sister, now turning on his heels and running out the door without his bag.
What was even happening?!
Running up the steps to U.A. Bakugo raced through the hallways before slamming the door open to his class. It seemed nothing had changed here, besides the fact that Amari was still nowhere to be seen.
Deku noticed his frantic nature, calling to him carefully. "Good morning Kacchan, are you okay?"
Looking around frantically, Bakugo couldn't think straight. "Where is she?!"
But of course, Deku had no clue what he was talking about. "Where is who?"
Grumbling to himself, Katsuki then reached down before grabbing the boy by his collar in desperation. "Where the fuck is my sister?!"
It took the boy a couple minutes, muttering under his breath quietly. "You're sister…"
Nodding his head, Bakugo shook the boy, looking for an answer. "Yes, you damn Deku. Amari, where the fuck is she, is she alright?!"
His childhood friend narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Uhh no offense Kacchan, since when have you cared so much about her? You've never asked about her before."
Tightening his hold on the boy, Katsuki hissed. "Yeah? Well, I'm asking now. Now, you have about two seconds to tell me where she is before you become a burned piece of broccoli!"
Deku gasped in surprise then as he cried back. "Okay okay Kacchan, I'll tell you! Just put me down first..!"
Doing as he was told, Katsuki let go of the boy before brushing himself off and looking sad. "Amari-chan hasn't been here in months Kacchan. Do you really not remember?"
Shaking his head in disbelief, the boy grew pale. "What the hell does that mean?"
Deku stared at the floor in response, remembering something unpleasant. "She dropped out a couple months after you kept telling her to leave. I think she tried really hard for you Kacchan, but you pushed her away back to America."
Hearing the words out of Deku's mouth, Bakugo felt like he was going to be sick. That was impossible. She couldn't just be gone. Sure, he was an ass to her before but he had changed since then. What was happening?!
He put his shaky heads up to his face then, muttering out brokenly. He drove his sister away. "No no..fuck this isn't happening..this can't be happening...she was okay just a little while ago."
Deku's eyes saddened then, never seeing Bakugo act this way before. "Kacchan, are you okay?"
Although at Deku's words, Katsuki only growled. "No, of course I'm not fucking okay Deku! How is this even possible?! I was trying, I was trying my damn best to be there for her finally!"
Jumping back in fear, the boy only sighed. "I'm really sorry, but maybe it isn't too late? Maybe you can still talk to her about all this. I mean, that is if you feel really bad.."
Yet Amari's brother didn't respond, instead drowning in his own sorrow as another voice cut through the space. "Midoryia, there you are."
Looking up, Bakugo found Todoroki standing before them, also looking rather breathless like he was running. "Something isn't right here. Do you know where Amari is?"
Yet once again, Deku only seemed confused. "Are you both feeling okay? Todoroki you've never even mentioned her before. This is the first time you cared so much about her."
Todoroki turned his head in question as Bakugo answered for him roughly. "Of course something isn't right! Amari wouldn't just pack up everything and move back to that damn place! She's too goddamn stubborn for that!"
Amari's boyfriend caught on to his words before turning to him alarmed. "What are you saying Bakugo? What do you mean Amari moved back to America, that doesn't make any sense."
Although Bakugo only shook his head. "No, something is fucked up here and I'm going to find out what it is. According to Deku, apparently Amari dropped out of U.A. months ago.."
At that Todoroki's eyes widened, now turning to the boy in question. "Is that true? That doesn't make any sense. We just saw her."
Deku nodded his head causing the boys eyes to wither. "It can't be...wait a minute, Midoryia, your words don't make any sense either. Why did you say that this is the first time I've cared about her? Of course I care, I love her."
To that, the boy only made a face. "What are you talking about Todoroki? She tried to talk to you once after your match together on the first day of school and you told her to get lost. After that, you never spoke with her again, like she didn't even exist."
Todoroki's face fell, recalling their first conversation after their match very clearly. That's not what happened at all. That was the day that Amari told him about her living situation. He never turned her down...
Hold on, if they never had that conversation, then that meant Todoroki would've never agreed to train with her that day and he wouldn't have never found out about her health. Then, they would have never been friends in the first place.
It was like someone had written that one interaction or their relationship to never exist. Suddenly, Todoroki was desperate for answers. "What happened to her?"
That's when Deku got really sad. "I tried to help her since she never really talked to anyone but Amari-chan would only smile at me and say that she had to try harder to get Kacchan's attention, that she had to be stronger. But one day, I guess it became too much for her and she left without even saying goodbye."
At that, Bakugo just looked devastated, feeling the tears rise to the surface as Todoroki grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him away from Deku, now understanding. "I have to talk to Bakugo for a minute, I'll see you around Midoryia."
Then he pulled the defeated boy around the corner before speaking. "Alright, let's try to make sense of all of this. Well we were attacked by that villain and the next thing we know Amari is gone and what Midoryia is describing isn't what really happened. It's like...it was changed."
Twisting his brow, Katsuki replied. "Are you saying that bastard did all this?! That he is the one that changed the past?"
Nodded his head, Todoroki continued. "Although, it's not the entire past. It just seems to be one or two interactions that have impacted history. All we have to do is change them back.."
Thinking about his statement, Bakugo saddened. "It's only one, only one event was changed. As much as I hate you, I'll admit that I would've never found out about Amari's condition without you telling me in that damn hospital room, and if you two never became friends in the first place then.."
The other boy finished his sentence almost immediately. "Then she had no one to look out for her all this time. Bakugo, we have to fix this. Who knows what she's like right now because of that.."
Although, just as he finished saying that, a large explosion tore through half the school, leaving a gaping whole left. It was like someone burned through it in a single blast.
Jumping back, the boys looked around frantically only to hear a familiar chuckle of laughter echo through the school. "Oh what the surprise, nice to see you again boys. I didn't think we'd have a reunion so soon."
Bakugo recognized the voice immediately, growing cold at the red eyes staring back at him and the black veins snaking up her face. No no, it couldn't be. It was Amari. "A-Amari.."
Although Amari only smirked back. "So you actually do know my name, interesting. And here I thought you just forgot it all this time.."
Shaking his head in disbelief, Bakugo shouted back. "W-What the hell are you doing?!"
The girl turned her head in response, pointing to the black veins in her skin. "Do you like my new look brother? Funny enough, you're the one that helped me discover my true calling, so I thank you for that."
Taking a step closer, Katsuki remained frozen as she spoke. "I tried so hard to be like you dear little Katsuki, I pushed myself into the ground for you, but it was never enough. So on that day you told me to get lost, I did. I cried on my apartment floor for hours before deciding I needed to be stronger. That's when I swallowed my entire bottle of pills and realized exactly who I was meant to be for the first time in my life. Now you'll never be able to forget about me brother.."
Bakugo swallowed in fear, not wanting to believe this terrible nightmare as Todoroki came forward to talk some sense into her. "Amari, listen to me. This isn't real! There is a villain that is messing with your head!"
Amari took one look at the boy before squinting her eyes in confusion. "Who are you again?"
He stomach dropped then in rejection. "Todoroki Shoto, the boy who loves you."
This certainly caught the girl off guard, before narrowing her eyes. "That's a bold assumption. Oh wait, you're the one that didn't want to be friends because you thought I was your enemy. Well look at me now Todoroki, you guessed correctly."
Laughing to herself, Amari sighed. "You wanna know something funny boy? For some reason I thought I could trust you, I was willing to pour out my entire life story just to have someone next to me, but you didn't want to hear it, just like everyone else. How stupid I was back then.."
Todoroki eyes saddened then, taking a step forward. "I want to hear it now.."
This caught the girl off guard for a moment before shaking her head in annoyance and throwing a huge explosion in his path. "Bullshit, don't say that to me! Where were you four months ago?! It's too late for damage control, what's done is done! You made your choice, and I made mine."
Blocking the attack, Todoroki replied. "I've always been here for you, and so has Bakugo. You just can't remember it right now. This isn't you Amari, you're strong even without those pills, you proved that already."
The girl only shook her head though. "You have got to be shitting me. The one that told me he wanted to forget me as soon as possible, that my birth was the worst day of his life, and that I'm too pathetic and weak to be a hero cares about me?! Oh cry me a river with that bullshit. Katsuki never cared, and I don't even know who you even are so obviously you don't either."
Just then they heard loud screams echo outside as the girl smirked. "It seems like it's just begun. All for One gave me the power and I gave him the opportunity to destroy the fragile little hero society. Seems like a fair trade."
She seemed to be enjoying herself but Todoroki and Bakugo could only look at the girl with horror. How could such a small change affect the world this much? It was like Amari wasn't the same person anymore, like she was a cruel and twisted version of herself, and it was their fault. They weren't there for her.
Another voice echoed through the space then, low and authoritative "What are you doing little one? You aren't getting cold feet, are you? That's not like my masterpiece."
Bakugo and Todoroki's blood ran cold, then turned to find All for One staring back at them. No, this couldn't happen. He was supposed to be in prison. What even was this messed up reality?!
Amari narrowed her eyes and the man before bowing once in submission. "Sorry master, I was just catching up with my old friends and classmates. I'll finish this soon enough."
The villain seemed pleased at that. "Very well, just don't take too long. We have plans after all."
Nodding her head, Bakugo balled his fists to his sides, now crying out to his sister desperately. "Fuck Amari, what happened to you?! You aren't the sister I know, my sister isn't such a goddamn coward, she wouldn't let anyone tell her what to do!"
Amari turned her head at that before taking a threatening step forward. "How hypocritical. I think you've forgotten that you've tried to tell me what to do my entire life Katsuki! You didn't even want to see my face, well too bad for you but I'm going to be the last face you ever see!"
Shaking his head though, Katsuki didn't believe her. "Cut it out with that crap, you are not a killer or a villain so just drop it already! You don't have the balls to actually go through with it, I know you! Somewhere deep down, you still care!"
Todoroki joined in suit as well, calling out to her roughly. "Bakugo is right, you won't hurt us. Your heart is one of a hero, please just turn off your quirk and we can talk about this…"
Amari's eyes fell then, looking down at her hands for a couple seconds before taking a step closer to Katsuki as he opened his arms waiting to embrace her. She could talk all she wanted but his sister was not a murderer. She wouldn't do it.
Although that's when she lifted her hand up, throwing a gold spike straight into his chest, a couple inches from his heart while looking down on him in absolute disgust. "That just goes to show how little you've known me Katsuki."
Bakugo gasped out in pain as Todoroki ran forward, dodging one of the explosions to reach the boy whose blood was pooling faster by the second. "Bakugo!"
The boy flopped to the floor, breathing heavily as Todoroki grew serious, blocking Amari's attacks with his own sheet of ice. Then he realizes, this wasn't the Amari he loved, this was someone else entirely. "Enough is enough."
Growling under her breath, the girl covered herself with gold matter and raised her fist in a punch only for Todoroki to dodge underneath and freeze her feet, upsetting the girl. "Stay still damn it! How is it you know my moves?!"
Of course Todoroki had the answer right away. "I know far more than just that Amari. I know everything about you, and I won't let you destroy yourself like this, even if you don't remember who we are, even if you kill me in the process, I won't let you become a villain!"
Thawing her feet during his speech, Amari only scoffed back. "Bullshit, you don't know anything about me! You pushed me away like everybody else! Don't think you're so special Todoroki!"
They raced towards each other then as they pushed against their body's in a feat of strength, growling back in the process, Although the boy remained calm for some reason, now speaking from his heart. "You're wrong about that. I do know everything, like how you ramble when you're nervous, or push yourself to your breaking point just because you think you had to earn your last name. I know that you're scared of being alone and drink when you feel hopeless, I know that you don't actually want to die and long for someone to listen to your cries of help. You don't remember it but I do, I remember everything about you Amari, and I love every part of you, even the parts you don't. I love them for you. You may think no one is listening to you but I've been there every step of the way.."
Amari's grip loosened then as Todoroki pushed her down, the girl's eyes lined with tears as her voice shook slightly. "Y-You noticed all of that? Impossible. You're lying.."
Although the boy only responded by leaning down taking his hand in hers, the girl somehow not protesting. " Look at me Amari, somewhere deep down you know it's true."
She shook her head at that, not believing that boy but somehow wanting to, now placing a shaking hand over his, her tears cascading down her face. All this time, she just wanted someone to understand her, and somehow this strange boy had done just that. "W-Who even are you? Why can you see into my soul like this? I hate it.."
Todoroki only smiled sadly though. "I already told you. I'm a boy that loves you, no matter what you do, no matter what you may think of yourself. I'm here for you Amari, I always have and I always will be."
Stifling a sob, Amari placed a hand to her mouth before reaching her other hand to touch his face absentmindedly. She didn't know why her body was moving like this, but the girl didn't object.
Although that's when she saw a shadow approach behind the boy, causing Amari's eyes to widen, already moving on her own and pushing the boy out of the way. "Look out!"
Todoroki felt the boy being shoved away as a loud explosion was overheard and when the dust cleared, his eyes widened at the sight before him.
Amari was laying on the floor where they once were, covered in blood and unmoving as burned marks filled her skin. Suddenly everything became painfully clear, she had just saved his life, even though she didn't know who he was. "AMARI.."
His voice sounded horse as All for One looked down at the girl disappointed. "Now little one, why did you do that? You've gone and injured yourself for no reason. What the pity.."
Her hand twitched on the ground then, the girl's eyes flopping open with a heavy moan of pain. Some of her bones were clearly broken and a large pool of blood began to pour around her. The odds of her surviving didn't seem good.
Todoroki raced up to her only to have the villain whoosh him away with his power. This wasn't good, she needed serious medical attention, she needed help.
The villain saw the sorry state of the girl before sighing. "If you die here, then you are of no use to me. Might as well put you down quickly then, how disappointing."
Amari's eyes widened in fear and the decision he was making. All for One was going to kill her, this was it. She failed at being a hero and now she failed at being a villain. There was no place for her. Well, at least that boy was safe. For some reason she felt better dying rather than him. Funny, right? She didn't even know him.
She saw the villain lift his arm and Amari squeezed her eyes tight, waiting for the pain as Todoroki screamed out to her in a single motion. Yeah, it was good that he lived instead of her.
Suddenly, a blurring figure zoomed past her and when she opened her eyes, Amari gasped at the sight before her,
Katsuki held his chest in pain as he stood in front of his sister, protecting her from the oncoming attack. "I said it once, and I will say it over and over again until you get it through your thick ass head. Don't fucking touch my sister!"
Groaning back, Amari managed to cough out a response. "K-Katsuki? What are you doing? Why are you here?"
Although her brother only smirked back. "Because saving my dumbass sister from herself is my job. Now, let me do my job, stupid..."
Amari twisted her brow in reply as Bakugo turned back to All for One in annoyance. "Listen asshole, my sister is not your masterpiece and she sure as hell isn't a villain. Amari is nothing but a hero! You better fucking understanding that!"
The girl felt tears rise to her eyes at his words, not knowing what brought him to say such things, but enjoying them anyways. All he ever told her was to get lost and that she would never amount to anything. Hearing him call her a hero, well it almost made her believe those words now.
All for One took in his speech with interest before raising his fists once again, this time with his aim on Bakugo. "I can see where you get your spunk little one, although it seems we will have to put him down after all."
Bakugo readied his fists, the warm heat pooling in his palms and ready to attack as Amari shut her eyes in terror, not really wanting her brother to die anymore and dreading the battle ahead of them. Katsuki had no chance of surviving.
Although luckily, just as he raised his fists up, another figure raced in front of them, blocking the attack from the kids and shielding them from the blow. "Young Bakugo, take her and go!"
Seeing All Might in front of them, Bakugo didn't waste another minute before picking his sister up in his arms and racing down the hallway before finding a quiet space. Then he laid her down only to see the thick amounts of blood on her body. Shit, this wasn't good.
Brushing a piece of hair from her hair, Katsuki muttered back as Amari's eyes dropped lazily down. Oh no this was not happening.. "Hey, it's okay now. I'm going to go get someone.."
He moved to leave when her weak hand grasped onto his shirt, coughing back roughly. "It's no use. It's over Katsuki. I'm a failure, just like you said."
Shaking his head roughly, the boy then saw Todoroki run up to them before kneeling down beside her. "Amari, oh god, there's so much blood. I'll go get help!"
Then before anyone could object, Todoroki went sprinting down the hallways, desperate to find anyone that could heal the girl. It was like that terrible USJ incident again. She was slipping away from him.
Grabbing onto her hand, Katsuki held his sister as she started to doze off, causing the boy to shake her roughly. "Amari, don't you fucking dare close your eyes! That bastard went to go get help, you just have to be stubborn like you always are and hang on. Don't do this to me.."
The girl let out a shaky breath before twisting her eyes in confusion, now whispering out her words. "Katsuki, why did you try to save me? I don't get it. You even called me your sister.."
Thinking about her words Bakugo then realized that Amari didn't know about his guilt, about the reasons he said all of those terrible things. To her, it still seemed like he was ashamed of her. He needed to make this right, just like before..
Letting out a shaky breath of his own, Katsuki felt tears start to pool down his face as he spoke in a cracked tone. "Amari, you idiot. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this before, I'm sorry I let it get so fucking bad but, I've always thought of you as my sister. Everything I said to you back then was a lie…"
Amari's face turned in confusion, not fully understanding his words as she voice choked on her words, now finding it harder to breathe. "Then you think I could be a hero?"
Nodding his head, Bakugo grabbed his sister's head before smiling sadly. "Hell yeah, in fact in another world, you are one. You defy everyone's expectations, even mine, and kick serious ass. You don't take anyone's shit and really show everyone what being a Bakugo is all about. You make me proud to call you my sister, stupid."
Hearing about all the wonderful things she would've been able to accomplish made her choke up inside, now feeling blood pool into her mouth as a seconds ticked by. If only she could've lived that life.
Amari coughed out a spit of blood, much to Bakugo's terror as she answered back broken and raspy. "I know it's impossible to have that dream now, but hearing you say all that, it makes me really happy.."
Then she reached up and touched her bloody hand to her brother's cheek weakly as the tears and black spots clouded her vision. "I'm glad I was your sister Katsuki, even if I didn't deserve it.."
Feeling his hands shake, Katsuki placed his hand on hers before choking back a response. "And I'm glad I am your brother, even though I'm a dumbass most of the time."
Amari smiled weakly then before her eyes lulled shut, her lifeless hand now flopping down onto the ground in a light tap. No, no this couldn't be. This couldn't be happening.
Bakugo's breathing hitched in his throat as he silently gathered his sister in his arms before letting out a strangling sob. It couldn't be, she couldn't just be gone like that. There was so much he wanted to say to her, so much he wanted to do but now, he wasn't a twin anymore.
He paused when Katsuki heard a light gasp from behind him and turned to find Todoroki, tears in his eyes as he approached the girl carefully. "No...no it can't be.."
Falling to his knees, Todoroki wiped a piece of hair from Amari's face before the tears pooled into his cheeks, and glanced at Bakugo. "Bakugo, I can't take this anymore. She didn't even know how much we cared, how much she was loved.."
Katsuki's eyes fell then, tightening his hold on his sister before screaming up towards the sky and no one in particular. "Alright, I'm fucking done! I can't take it anymore! Get me out of this fucking nightmare right now!"
Just as he said that though, Todoroki and Bakugo eyes felt suddenly heavier, the black spots pooling their vision as the two fell to the ground unconscious yet again.
Groaning back, Bakugo heard the faraway sounds of someone yelling along with various sirens and bright lights now clouding his vision. As he stirred, someone else called back roughly. "One of the civilians is waking up!"
At his words, Katsuki then bolted up, feeling a strong sense of dizziness overtake him and almost causing the boy to fall backwards. Lucky that unknown man was there again to steady his body. "Whoa there, not too fast. Can you hear me boy?"
Blinking a few times, Bakugo refocused his eyes only to find himself on a stretcher right next to a large ambulance truck for some reason. What happened?
Although he got his answer when the chief of police appeared then, smiling at the boy all at once. "I'm so happy you're alright Bakugo Katsuki. You got caught up in a villain attack. Do you remember anything that happened?"
Placing a hand to his head, suddenly all of the past events became clear to him, now bolting out of bed and searching around desperately. "Where is she, is she alright?!"
Of course the boy was acting vague which confused the police. "Calm down boy, you shouldn't move so quickly. Who are you looking for?"
But just as soon as they said that, Bakugo heard her voice carry through the space. That's all he needed to race towards her, now seeing the girl in question behind a wall of barricades and arguing with a cop. "Listen, I have to see if he's okay! My brother and my boyfriend are in there!"
Just then, they locked eyes with each other as Bakugo raced forward and roughly wrapped his arms around his sister all at once. She was here, she was alive, Thank god. "Amari..!"
Jumping a bit in surprise, the girl accepted the hug now noticing a slight shake to his body. "Katsuki, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Although her brother only nodded in her hair, tightening his embrace and not wanting to talk about the nightmares. "I'm just glad to see you idiot."
The niceness in his tone was odd but Amari let it go, wondering what had exactly happened with that villain. It seemed serious. Katsuki wasn't one to be scared easily so it seemed like this was really rough for him.
Just then, another voice echoed through the space and the girl pulled away only to find Todoroki running up to her well, now also equally spooked. "Amari, thank god.."
He pulled her in an embrace as well as the boy let out a shaky breath before touching her face to make sure she was real. Yes, this was his Amari. "You're alive.."
Twisting her brow in confusion, the girl replied back. "Okay, what is up with you two? You look like you guys saw a ghost or something."
Bakugo and Todoroki shared a look with each other before shaking their heads and coming to an understanding, Todoroki speaking first. "Don't worry about it, that villain was just very intense."
Nodding her head in understanding, Amari then ruffled both the boys' hair playfully. "Oh yeah, well I bet you kicked their ass anyways, right? I'm kind of sad I couldn't be there though, even though I'm not really much right now. But just you wait, soon I'll be having all the villains fear my name! I just gotta practice a bit more first…"
She smiled goofily which made their hearts leap, happy to see this Amari in their lives again, Todoroki now pointing towards the left hand side. "I don't doubt it, although it seems like we might still be able to make the exhibit if we hurry. Are you still interested?"
Amari thought about his words for a moment before nodding her head. "Of course. Are you sure you don't wanna come Katsuki?"
In any other instance, hanging out with his sister's boyfriend at a lame butterfly garden seemed terrible, but after the events he just witnessed, the boy had a change of heart. "Ah hell with it. Fine, but you better hurry your ass up before I leave you, also afterwards, I'm going to make the best damn meal you two extras have ever seen!"
In his words, Todoroki raised an eye. "What do you mean two?"
Although Katsuki just huffed, already walking away from them with his hands in his pockets. "Listen icy hot, if you don't want to come then forget it. I just wanted to show you how the future number one hero does things, alright?"
Todoroki and Amari looked between each other before trying to believe what Katsuki was saying. Was he actually inviting Todoroki to eat dinner with them? She didn't know why but that seemed like a big step for him.
Because of that, Amari couldn't help but smile back, happy that her brother was finally accepting Todoroki as someone dear to her. She knew it couldn't be easy.
But as she was smiling, Todoroki and Bakugo shared a look before they both realized that they needed to be there for Amari, no matter what happened in the future.
They refused to let that terrible reality ever come to pass, if it was the last thing they did.
Hello, sooooo how we doing? Are we sad? Because I am too.
Oof I got this idea a couple weeks ago to see what would happen if Todoroki was never there for her and if he just said no to going out with her that one time in S1 C3..as you can see, it would've been a shit show. The sad truth is Amari probably wouldn't have died like that if no one told Bakugo that she was suffering.
