"Don't fucking touch me," Jin snarled, lashing out at her two classmates, summoning a monstrous block of gravel from the ground towards them.

"Stop, this isn't you," Shouto said calmly after dodging the attack, without letting his guard down. Frost began to travel up his right arm, while small flames emerged in the palm of his left hand.

Jin's eyes narrowed at him through her black bangs, tinged with sweat.

"And how would you know what's me and what's not?" she jeered, the veins in her toned forearms becoming prominent, as she prepared to activate her Quirk again. "You don't know shit about what I've been through."

"BECAUSE WHO ELSE WOULD, IF IT'S NOT US YOU FUCKIN' IDIOT!" Bakugou roared, his eyes seeing red at his classmate's cold response. "YOU'RE ALWAYS TELLIN' ME TO CALM DOWN BECAUSE I'M BETTER THAN THAT OR SOME SHIT, SO WHY WON'T YOU TAKE YOUR OWN DAMN ADVICE, HUH?!"

Bakugou knew that he and Todoroki have stood side-by-side fighting villains before, but never in his wildest dreams, would he have ever thought he would have to face the only girl he's ever cared about.

"OI, SNAP OUT OF IT, WILL YOU?" Bakugou screeched again at Jin's silence, his voice just barely laced with desperation.

Bakugou's futile plea was responded with blocks of concrete shoot towards him, one of which just barely grazed his bare shoulder.

"You piss me off," Jin sneered.

Todoroki noticed the blonde boy's shoulders slouch slightly as he heaved for air, knowing just as well as Bakugou did that they were running out of time.

"Jin, please, listen to me," Shouto attempted to reason with her. "I'm sorry we couldn't do anything for you, but you have to tell us how we can help you now."

Jin laughed bitterly.

"Help?"

She cackled again, louder and louder until tears brimmed her eyes, smearing her makeup.

"HELP?" she howled psychotically like a hyena, unable to catch her breath from laughing.

She took a deep breath and looked Shouto dead in the eye.

"I gave up on the idea of help a long time ago," she said, spitting the words in his face.

"It's not too late," Shouto persisted, almost begging at this point. "I don't want to lose you—"

"It's centuries too late," Jin said quietly.

Shouto's memories of him and Jin flashed before his eyes.

Images of him and Jin studying together, sharing inside jokes, and comforting each other flickered through his mind like a broken movie projector.

His thoughts were cut off by dozens of sharp, concrete daggers flying towards him at the speed of light through the air.

"Goodbye, Shouto."

Author's note:

Hi everyone! Welcome to my BNHA story. For Unwavering readers, fear not, for I have not abandoned the story! I hit a block (an obstacle?) when writing for it trying to decide how canon I wanted to make the story, so I'm still in the process of working it out—but don't worry, I will try to update it when I have the chance! For now, I wanted to kick-start this story for BNHA I've been thinking about for a while.

One thing I'm excited for in this story is that I'm going to try to incorporate fashion into it! I thought dressing up my character would be super fun, and help you all visualize the story a bit better, but I'll only be able to insert those pictures on Wattpad (so feel free to head on over to check it out if you're from FanFiction net!).

I thought this was interesting but the character design for Jin is a bit similar character from Unwavering , but Jin's is a bit more well-thought out—I've come to realize that I'm projecting traits that I've always wanted onto my OCs, haha.

I don't have a lot written for the plot yet, but I thought I'd publish this character introduction to get me going, and hopefully fuel my motivation a bit. This is also my first time writing for three main characters of interest (Todoroki, Bakugo, Dabi), but hey, it's fan fiction, so I'm just here to let my imagination run wild. I really really hope you guys like it! Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, or just leave me a nice little comment if you feel like it :) Thanks everyone!
