Damn skittles, 3 updates in 1 week?! OMG!

--

One second he was running towards Shira, and the next he was falling from the sky towards a run-down building.

"Ahhh!!" He whipped his head around, seeing the red headed doofus falling down beside him, but at a much faster rate. Bakugo's eyes widened when he realized that the idiot had fully hardened his body.

"Unharden yourself, you idiot!" Bakugo yelled as wind whipped past his face. His demand fell on deaf ears as Kirishima crashed into the roof of the building feet- first. Thinking quickly, he recalled when he heard how Shira slowed her fall during combat training.

"Yeah man, it was totally cool. She made an explosion right before she hit the ground to lessen her impact for when she hit the ground." Kirishima praised, looking as if he was daydreaming. "I was thinking maybe you could do the same since you both have explosion type quirks!"

Furrowing his brows in concentration, he grabbed his right arm, behind his gauntlet, and detonated an explosion. He didn't make one too big, as he didn't want to over-exert himself before knowing if there were any enemies inside. The force did blow him back upwards a bit, slowing his fall. He fell through the hole Kirishima made, landing on his feet roughly.

Looking around, he noticed another hole on the ground beside him, and grunts coming from below. Seeing that the floor he was on was empty, he walked over to the hole, looking inside. There was Kirishima, fighting off a few villain's on his own.

Bakugo grinned wildly, "Move it, shitty hair! You can't take all the fun!" He yelled out before jumping down the hole to join in the battle.

After a few moments, the last villain fell. The boys huffed from back to back, catching their breathe. Bakugo's hand smoked as he glared at the fallen bodies.

"Is this all of them?" Bakugo said in disgust. "They're so weak."

Kirishima turned around, sweat coating his face. "All right, lets hurry up and go save the others!" He unhardened his hand, looking around. "If we're here, then everyone else should be inside USJ too. I'm worried about the guys with less offensive abilities."

He continued. "Besides, its technically our fault. We slowed Thirteen down. If they would've been able to suck that fog up, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Bakugo turned away. "If you want to go, then go by yourself." He narrowed his eyes, glaring at a villain knocked out by his feet. "I'm going to go kill that warp gate."

Kirishima gasped, looking at Bakugo in disbelief. "What? You're going to act rash at a time like this? He has Shira, we have to be car-"

"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled, glaring at Kirishima over his shoulder. "It's because he has her that I'm actin' rash! And that bastard is the enemy's way in and out, so he's the one we have to put an end to anyways!" As he spoke, an invisible figure snuck towards him. "It's not like we don't have a way to fight the fog bastard."

The sound of a sword unsheathing alerting the two boys. "Stop your chit chatting! Since you've left your guard down-"

Bakugo extended a hand, catching the villain by the face before letting off an explosion. The villain yelped in pain before falling unconscious.

"If these," Bakugo held up the villain's head by its hair, revealing its now visible face. He had a chameleon type quirk. "small fry are the ones assigned to us, the rest of these extra's should be fine right?"

Kirishima watched in amazement. "Were you always this calm and rational?" He looked away in thought. "I thought you were more..."

"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CALM AND RATIONAL, ASSHOLE."

Kirishima snapped his fingers, pointing at the blonde. "Yeah! That's more like it!"

Scoffing, Bakugo threw the unconscious body to the ground. "Whatever! if you wanna go help the others- go ahead!" He started walking away. alerting Kirishima.

"Wait!"

Bakugo turned around, eyes narrowed.

"Believing in our friends?" Kirishima hardened his arms. "That's real manly, Bakugo!" He smashed his fist together in excitement, sparks flying. Bakugo looked at him impatiently. "I'll follow you!"

"Hmph." Bakugo turned around, continuing his walk. "Well come on then, shitty hair."

...

Shira groaned, feeling like her skull was pounding. Opening an eye, she looked around her surroundings. Through her blurry vision, she could barely see Aizawa and the blue haired man fighting. She closed her eyes for a few moments, trying to adjust to the pain she felt coming from her head.

Reaching up, she gently touched it. She let out a hiss of pain at the contact. Once she brought her hand down to her face, she winced at the blood coating her fingers.

She shakily propped up on her elbows, looking around again. 'Where... where am I?'

She heard breathing beside her. Slowly looking to the left, a big, muscular thing sat beside her, breathing heavily. It's skin was dark blue, with a build similar to All Might's, but it's face was that of a bird. The thing that shocked her the most wasn't the mutation, it was the face that it's brain was uncovered and exposed, with unfocused eyes.

Shira screamed, crawling away from the creature. It didn't acknowledge her at all, only staring forward at nothing. She forced herself to stand, ignoring the throbbing pain from her head. She starting limping away from the thing as fast as she could.

She glanced behind her shoulder to see if the thing was following her, but it hadn't moved from it's spot. As if it was awaiting a command, and Shira didn't want to be there when it got it.

"You're so cool... You're so cool!" Shira looked in the direction of the fight, seeing her teacher facing the blue haired man, his elbow now looking... disintegrated. It was dripping blood but that seemed to not deter the pro hero, as he stood hair raised and wrappings ready. "By the way, hero..." He suddenly turned her way, alerting Shira. She tried to speed up her escape, but she could only go so far out in the open. She felt her arm get grasped tightly before she was flung towards Aizawa. "I'm not the last boss!"

Aizawa whipped his head, noticing his student flying towards him. "Todoroki!" He went to throw his wrappings towards her, but suddenly the big thing was behind him as well. He turned around, eyes widening under his goggles. 'So fast..!'

The thing reached out and lashed out at Aizawa, knocking off his goggles. Shira crashed hard on her back a few feet away, the impact knocking the breathe out of her lungs. She coughed and gasped for air as she felt the gunpowder in her lungs rise. She tried to reach for her inhaler, but felt paralyzed as pain shot through her whole body. Tears fell down her cheeks as she choked on the gunpowder, squeezing her eyes shut.

"I'll tell you, Eraserhead..." Shira gathered enough strength to turn her head, crying as she saw Aizawa lying a few feet away face down. Blood was splattered around him, and she could only pray that he was still breathing as the creature pushed her teacher's body into the ground, while using his other hand to hold up Aizawa's mangled arm.

"He's the anti-Symbol of Peace. The bioengineered 'Nomu'."

The 'Nomu' held its head up, screeching.

From farther away, Midoriya, Tsu, and Mineta watched in horror at the scene happening in front of them. Mineta turned away. "I-I cant look!"

"We've got to help somehow ." Midoriya said uneasily, noticing that neither Shira nor Aizawa were moving anymore. Thoughts ran at a million miles per second in his head as he tried to wonder what they would want with Shira of all people. 'Maybe its because she's Endeavor's daughter? But even if so, wouldn't it be better to use Shoto, since he's more well known as Endeavor's child?' He wondered. While Endeavor was a more private pro hero, it was common knowledge that he had 3 kids, well, that is, until the class met Shira. Although she never really spoke much about it, her resemblance to Shoto was uncanny. "I just don't understand what he would want with Shira..."

The blue haired man walked over to Aizawa as he spoke. "So you can erase quirks, but that's nothing impressive." The Nomu twisted Aizawa's arm, a loud crack sounding. Aizawa yelled out, and Midoriya relaxed slightly at the fact that his teacher was still alive. "In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well be quirkless."

Aizawa shakily turned around, attempting to activate his quirk on the Nomu, but the Nomu was too fast and in the span of a second, smashed it's hand down on Aizawa's shoulder. Aizawa cried out in pain before dropping his arm weakly.

The Nomu held up his head, and Aizawa forced himself to open his eyes. He noticed Shira, who laid motionless on the ground beside him. "Todoroki...no..." The Nomu smashed his face into the ground.

The three kids gasped from in the water, and Mineta covered his mouth to keep from crying out. "M-Midoriya, I'm sure you're having second thoughts, right?!"

Midoriya didn't respond, instead just staring at the gruesome sight. He gritted his teeth as he tried thinking of a plan involving saving both his teacher AND his classmate, but came up short with each one.

The warp gate man formed beside the blue haired villain. "Tomura Shigaraki."

The blue haired man, Shigaraki, turned towards him. "Kurogiri, did you kill Thirteen?"

"I put Thirteen out of action, but there were students I wasn't able to disperse."

Shigaraki starting scratching at his neck impulsively. "Kurogiri...if you weren't a warp gate... I would've killed you!"

He then stopped, "We won't win against dozens of pros. It's game over." He glanced at Kurogiri. "Let's go home."

Mineta gasped. "Go home? They're going home?!"

"That's what I heard." Tsu said.

Mineta cried, hugging a now irritated Tsu. "Hooray! We're saved!"

Tsu grabbed him, shoving him underwater. "I have a bad feeling about this, Midoriya."

"Yeah, for them to simply retreat after doing all of this..."

Shigaraki looked up. "Oh yeah...grab the girl." He said, pointing to Shira. Kurogiri nodded, activating a warp gate as the Nomu picked the girl up by her face, her feet barely touching the ground.

Her eyes were closed, and blood inked her short snowy white hair on one side. In a sick way, it made her resemble Shoto even more.

Midoriya's eyes widened at the command. "No! Todoroki!" He yelled out. Mineta gasped, dunking his head underwater to not be seen. Shigaraki looked their way, finally noticing their presence,

"Oh... well look at this. Before we go, how about we smash up some kids?" The next thing they knew, Shigaraki was beside him, quickly reaching for Tsu. Time seemed to slow for Midoriya as he thought of the worst, Tsu disintegrating before his eyes.

But once his hand made contact, nothing happened. Shigaraki chuckled, softly cursing. Tsu stood frozen still in his grasp, unable to speak. Looking over his shoulder, Shigaraki said, "You really are cool, Eraserhead."

The Nomu smashed Aizawa's head into the ground once more, and the action seemed to snap Midoriya out of his trace. He jumped up from the water and shot towards Shigaraki, fist ready. He yelled out as he felt his secret power flowing through his body. "Let go of her!"

The impact created a huge gust of wind, blowing back the onlooking villains and shattering the lights. Midoriya grinned at the sight of his arm not being broken, only to frown once he realized his attack had no effect. He didn't hit Shigaraki. He hit the Nomu.

And it was unaffected.

Shigaraki hummed. "Are you a follower of All Might?" He thought about it before turning back towards Tsu who had yet to move. "Oh well. I'm done with you."

As the Nomu grabbed Midoriya, preparing to strike him, and Shigaraki prepared to grasp Tsu and Mineta, the entrance door burst open. Everyone, student and villain alike, stopped what they were doing as they awaited for the dust to settle and for the newcomer to show themselves. Friend? Foe?

All Might slowly walked out, revealing himself in all his glory. The scattered students nearby smiled and teared up in relief.

Mineta cried out from in front of Shigaraki. "All Might!"

"It's fine now..." All Might glared, standing tall. "I am here!"

He stopped walking, and threw aside his jacket. He looked around, a deep frown etched on his features as he took in the situation at hand. The scatter students, the scattered petty criminals, an injured Thirteen and Aizawa, Midoriya, Tsu, and Mineta in the heads on villains, and finally his eyes landed on the motionless body of Shira, who laid close to Aizawa. Seeing the danger his students and coworkers were put in arose a feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time- anger. And these villains were aware that an angry All Might was no good.

Shigaraki stood. "I've been waiting... hero."

The petty criminals became nervous, some backing away. "Whoa... thats really All Might...He's even scarier in person!"

"He looks so intimidating."

One guy looked back, scowling. "Idiots, don't hesitate!" He looked forward, preparing himself. "If we kill that, we'll-" He didn't finish his pep talk before he was knocked away in a flash. Several others followed, All Might zooming past them before they knew it. He stood up, with Aizawa in his arms. He looked over his coworker's bloody and beaten figure, guilt and anger filling his body.

"Sorry, Aizawa..."

He turned towards the villains, a glint in his eye shining before he zoomed past them and towards the kids. He scooped up Midoriya, Tsu, and Mineta in his other arm, landing safe distance away. The gust knocked the hand off of Shigaraki's face.

Mineta blinked, looking around in confusion. Everything happened to fast for him to register. "Huh?"

"Everyone!" All Might said, crouching beside Aizawa. "Go to the entrance!"

"Wait, All Might!" Midoriya called before his idol left. "They have Shira! I don't know what they want with her but they were talking about taking her!"

All Might glared from his crouch, his eyes on the unconscious student. "I see. Thank you, Young Midoriya. I'm leaving Aizawa to you. He's unconscious, so hurry."

"Yes sir, ribbit!"

Shigaraki growled, walking past the Nomu to get to his fallen hand. "Its no good... no good, no good, no good...he hit me as he was saving them." He latched the hand on his face again. "That's the violence of a government official. I couldn't even see him with my eyes...He's fast, but not as fast as I thought. Maybe it's true."

Midoriya looked down, contemplating. He adjusted Aizawa on his back. "All Might, you can't. That villain took a punch from One... took a punch from my quirk and it was ineffective! He's gotta be-"

"Young Midoriya." All Might said, his back to Midoriya. He glanced over his shoulder, throwing up a peace sign and a smile. "It's fine! I cannot just leave Young Todoroki... I must get all my students to safety."

Midoriya's frowned uneasily. "Well yeah, but...", he trailed off.

He shook his head, instead turning and walking away towards the entrance, Tsu and Mineta helping him carry their teacher. All Midoriya could do was silently hope that All Might would be okay. The villains obviously knew something that they didn't, and their intentions with Shira were still unknown. Regardless, he put his faith in his mentor.

All Might turned quickly, shooting towards Shira. Just as he was preparing to grab her, the Nomu was suddenly in front of her. All Might put his arms in an 'X'. "Carolina... SMASH!" He yelled, chopping across the creature's chest. The water behind it flew from the force, but he was shocked to see the Nomu itself was unaffected.

'Its just as Young Midoriya said...'

The Nomu glanced up at All Might before reaching for him quickly. All Might leaned back to dodge, before going in for another punch. "It seriously has no effect at all, huh?" He punched the thing in the abdomen, but it only reached out to grab him yet again.

As All Might repeatedly punched the Nomu, Shigaraki carefully walked towards Kurogiri. "What should we do with the girl, Tomura?" Kurogiri asked, glancing at the body a few feet away from the on going battle. Shigaraki could tell that All Might was trying to move the fight away from the girl, but also keep it close enough to where he could quickly intervene if someone were to try and move her. Shigaraki sighed in frustration, scratching his neck vigorously.

"I don't care if we get her or not anymore, she was only going to be used for leverage against Endeavor." Shigaraki concluded. "That can wait another day, but I want All Might dead now!"

"Then I shall help the Nomu."

Just as All Might was about to slam the Nomu into the ground head-first, Kurogiri opened a warp gate on the ground, allowing the Nomu to reach up and grasp All Might by the abdomen through the other portal tightly.

"Oh...!" All Might choked out, maintaining his grip around the Nomu's stomach, "So thats how it is!"

Midoriya, Tsu, and Mineta froze, shaking in fear as blood seeped through All Might's white shirt.

Shigaraki chuckled. "Did you think that move would work?" He called out to All Might. "He's just as strong as you are." He turned towards his comrade. "This is good, Kurogiri... an unexpected opportunity." Kurogiri nodded, turning back towards the battle. As he made the warp gate smaller, the Nomu's grip tightened., digging deeper and deeper into All Might's flesh.

All Might released the Nomu's stomach, instead trying to remove it's hand from his wound. "So this is your first offense? You'd better prepare yourselves!"

Shigaraki ignored him, scratching his neck. "Kurogiri."

"I don't want blood and guts flowing within me." Kurogiri stated, from behind All Might. "But it would be my honor to take in someone as great as you."

Midoriya stopped his walk, staring ahead. "...Tsu."

Tsu also stopped. "Yes?"

"Trade spots with me carrying for Mr. Aizawa."

"Okay... but why? Ribbit."

Midoriya handed Aizawa to Tsu, before sprinting off towards All Might. "Midoriya, wait!"

All Might looked up in shock. "Young Midoriya?"

As Midoriya shot forward, hand outreached, Kurogiri appeared in front of him, gate opened. "How foolish!"

Before Midoriya's hand could enter the portal, an explosion sounded. Midoriya gasped, looking up at the angry face of Bakugo.

"Move it Deku! You're in the way!" He screamed, gripping Kurogiri by his neck piece.

Bakugo slammed the warp gate user down on the ground, crouching over him. "Take that!"

Ice crept over the ground, incasing the Nomu. All Might glanced over, catching sight of the other Todoroki, who was looking in the direction of his unconscious twin.

"All I heard was that you needed my sister, and that you wanted to kill All Might." Shoto spoke solemnly. All Might finally broke free from the Nomu's grip, jumping back to stand beside Shoto. "You're the fools if you think either is possible." Kirishima jumped from overhead, swiping at Shigaraki who moved away just in time.

"Damn it, I didn't get to show off!"

Bakugo growled down at Kurogiri. "Stop actin' so stuck up, you foggy asshole!"

Shoto looked at Shigaraki. "The symbol of peace cannot be killed by the likes of you. So just hand over my sister and give up." Kirishima and Bakugo frowned at the reminder of Shira's capture, looking around. When they laid eyes on her motionless figure, Kirishima gasped, running towards her. Bakugo scowled, lifting Kurogiri before slamming him into the ground again.

"I'll make you assholes pay!" He lifted his hand, sparks flying as he prepared an explosion like never see before.

"Wait, Young Bakugo!" All Might called out, making Bakugo freeze as he maintained eye contact with the warp gate user.

"Tch."

Kirishima kneeled beside Shira, who was paler than normal. He softly wiped her bloody hair from her face, before checking her pulse. It was there, but barely. He leaned his head down by her chest, listening for a heartbeat. He breathed out a sigh of relief, sitting up to look down at his classmate.

"Oh Shira..." He bit his lip, feeling tears of frustration threaten to fall. He bent down, shaking his head. "I'm so sorry... If Bakugo and I hadn't got in Thirteen's way, maybe we could've all escaped." He sat up, wiping at his eyes before scooping her into his arms gently. "I'll get her out of here, and to safety. I promise!"

"Take her towards the entrance, Kirishima!" Midoriya called out.

Kirishima nodded, making eye contact with Bakugo and Shoto before running towards the entrance with Shira, careful not to jostle her too much. Once he reached Tsu and Mineta they gasped in shock.

"Oh, Shira..." Tsu said.

"Is she...?" Mineta asked quietly, making Tsu punch him on the head. "Ow!

"Don't ask such insensitive things, ribbit."

"She's breathing." Kirishima reassured, looking down at her. "But I don't know if she's fine.. we gotta get her help."

"The warp gate user said someone escaped, maybe there's help outside by now, ribbit." Tsu said, continuing their walk.

"HEY! HEY!"

The three looked up, seeing some of their classmates calling out. Ochako waved down at them.

Mineta called out, "Hey! Come help us out!"

Ochako and Sato ran down to help. After they left, Thirteen whispered out beside Mina.

"L-Let All Might h-handle this-s. When h-help comes..." They took a break to catch their breathe before continuing. "G-get to a safe place."

"O-okay." Mina said unsurely.

Once Sato and Ochako arrived to the three, she gasped at the sight of her teacher and classmate, covering her mouth. "Oh no.."

Sato moved to grab Shira from Kirishima, but he shifted her out of the way. "It's fine, I've got her." He said, holding her closer.

"Are you sure?" Sato asked.

"Yeah...I've got her. Go help Tsu with Mr. Aizawa, they need it more then I do."

Sato nodded. "Right." He went over and grabbed Aizawa from Tsu and Mineta, relieving them from the weight.

...

Bakugo looked down at Kurogiri and grinned widely. "You careless bastard. You're just what I thought you'd be. Only certain parts of you can turn into the wispy gate, while the fog covers the rest, right?!"

He continued, "Back then, when that extra had tackled you, I knew some part of you was physical!"

Kurogiri attempted to move, but Bakugo activated his quirk, detonating mini explosions on his neck armor. "Don't move, you bastard! If it weren't for All Might," He bent down by the mist user's ear, lowering his voice so that only they could hear. "I would've killed you by now!"

Kurogiri narrowed his eyes. "Let me guess, you're the girl's boyfriend?" He let out a laugh, making Bakugo shove his neck deeper into the ground. "It's too bad Tomura has a need for her then."

"Boyfriend?" Bakugo frowned, tilting his head. "Not even close..." He leaned up in Kurogiri's personal space. "If she was I would've blew you up no matter what All Might said."

Kurogiri's eyes widen. "And you call yourself a hero- in- training?" He said in disgust. "You think you'll be a great hero to this trash society?"

Bakugo detonated a few small explosions in his free hand, a devious glint in his eye.

"Damn right I will. Starting off with scum like you first."

...

As they continued their walk, Kirishima heard a groan. Looking down, he saw Shira's nose twitch. "Shira..?"

He saw her eyelids twitch, and quickly laid her on the ground, kneeling beside her. "Shira? Shira, wake up for me, please." He gently patted her cheeks, seeing a bit of color return to her face. When she finally opened her dual- colored eyes, Kirishima sighed in relief, slumping over.

"K-Ki-" She coughed up gunpowder, alerting Kirishima. He sat her up, patting her on her back. She coughed out more and more gunpowder, so much that Kirishima began to get nervous.

He remembered Yaomomo saying something about her utility belt, and he reached down and opened a case, pulling out an inhaler and held it to her lips.

She shook her head, letting out another cough before weakly trying to push him away. He did, moving behind her and watching as she sucked in a deep breathe then blew, a large cloud of gunpowder forming. He quickly caught on, picking her up and moving them a few feet away so that she could detonate it.

It caused a huge explosion, shaking the ground. Everyone stopped what they were doing for a split second, looking back at the noise. Ochako ran back towards them.

"What happened? Is everything ok?" She asked worriedly. Shira reached for her inhaler, and Kirishima handed it to her. She took 3 puffs from it before sighing.

"What.." she looked around, trying to ignore the pain in her body. "What's going on? Where's that...that thing..." She asked. She recalled when it slung her across the air ruthlessly.

"All Might is fighting it..." he looked back. "Bakugo, Midoriya and your brother are helping him out right now though, so he should be fine..."

Shira sat up. "M-My brother? Shoto? And Bakugo? Wait! I-I've got to help them!" She stood up shakily, leaning on Kirishima. He panicked, looking at Ochako for help.

Ochako put a hand on Shira's shoulder. "I think they'll be alright, Shira, trust me. If you go back down there, you'll just be in the way..." She said softly, trying not to offend her.

"Besides," Kirishima added, looking down at Shira. Shira reluctantly turned towards him, looking into his serious red eyes. "When that mist man grabbed you, he said that his boss needed you. All the more reason to get you out of here while they're stalled." He readjusted her hold on him, pulling her arm around his neck while he wrapped his arm around her torso. If she wasn't so focused on the pain coursing through her she might have blushed at the contact. "Now lets go outside. C'mon."

Shira glanced back at the battle. Bakugo stood over the mist gate, seemingly whispering something to him, while her brother, Midoriya and All Might faced the Nomu and Shigaraki.

As if he could read her mind, Shigaraki turned his head her way, startling her. He said nothing, but Shira was certain that if that hand wasn't covering his eyes he would be looking dead at her.

Kirishima nudged her along, and she allowed the support, forcing herself to turn around and follow Ochako. He glanced down at her, a frown etched on his normally happy features. "You okay? Anything specifically hurts besides your head?" His eyes went to her half bloodied hair, and he internally cursed himself for letting out a chuckle at a time like this.

"What?" Shira asked self-consciously, reaching up to feel her head only to wince in pain at the contact. Kirishima pulled down her hand, holding it as he flashed her a small smile.

"I never really saw the resemblance between you and your brother besides your eyes. Even your quirks are different but ...with your hair like this, I can see that you and Todoroki are definitely twins." He released her hand, rubbing at his neck awkwardly.

Shira didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not. "Is... is that a bad thing?" She asked, looking down at their feet. She wiped stray hair from her eyes, noticing the blood that stained her fingers. "Of all my siblings, me and my brother Natsu are the only ones that have pure white hair like our Mom's... it's ironic because we probably hate our dad the most." She said softly. Kirishima didn't respond, settling to listen. "I used to wish that I didn't have a fire type quirk at all. I guess thats my only tie to him...I didn't even get his quirk." She laughed, shaking her head. "I got my great grandfathers, actually."

She didn't even know why she was telling him all of this. She hadn't even told Shoto yet. But after having years of never really being able to talk to anyone about how she feels except her Mother that she could hardly see, and her grandmother, maybe it was time to start opening up.

As they finally caught up with their other classmates, Kirishima spoke lowly. "About what I said earlier...nothing about you could ever be a bad thing. I want you to know that. Red hair may make you look like a Todoroki, but... your white hair is what makes you Shira." Shira looked up, only to see him looking in the opposite direction. "Besides, red hair isn't really all that manly anyways."

"But you have red hair."

"Well, yeah, but..."

Shira giggled, making Kirishima smile. Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, and everyone jumped. Turning around in Kirishima's hold, Shira caught sight of the Nomu crashing through the glass dome and soaring of out distance.

Sero spoke first from his spot beside Thirteen. He was helping Sato hold their weight. Shoji was now holding Aizawa. "Was that a villain just now?"

Shira nodded, eyes not leaving the hole in the glass. "That was the Nomu..."

Mineta cried, "It's All Might! There's no one else who could do something so amazing!" He cheered, jumping up and down.

Tsu, Mina and Ochako cheered, hugging each other. Sato and Sero gave each other a high five. Shira finally let out a deep breathe, leaning her weight into Kirishima who held her up from falling. He pulled her in closer to him, before looking back towards the battle.

"I knew he could do it." Kirishima smiled. Shira silently agreed, thankful for the help of the number one hero. She would have to ask Midoriya more about him later on. To her, he definitely deserved the title of the number one hero, and the symbol of peace. She glanced back, only to give a double take.

"Kiri, why is... what's that smoke?" Shira asked in confusion. Everyone heard her question and stopped their celebrating to see what she meant. Indeed, there was smoke coming from the battle, and it seemed as if they were on a stand still. A few petty criminals arose, creeping towards an unexpecting Bakugo and Shoto. "No!" She ripped out of Kirishima's hold, stunning the red head. It took him a second to process her actions, but he was a second too late.

"Wait, Shira!" He called out, running after her. "Shira!"

Shira ran quickly, adrenaline pumping through her veins and pushing the pain aside. She attacked the first criminal she could reach, who was about to stab Bakugo from behind, sending a round house kick to his head. Once his body fell, Shira turned to throw a punch at the next one, only to have her feet swept from under her. Before the criminal could stomp her, Kirishima crashed into him, knocking him from above Shira.

Bakugo was the first to notice Shira and Kirishima's presence, immediately scowling. "What the hell! Why aren't you outside yet, idiot!" Shoto turned around at the commotion. "You're getting in the way!"

"I just can't watch as my classmates get attacked!" She yelled back, dodging a hit from behind. Bakugo shot forward, detonating an explosion in her attacker's face. She connected gazes with him as he looked her way. "...Thank you." She said softly.

"You're in the way." He gritted out, eyes narrowed.

"I'm not useless."

"You're not even using your quirk!"

"You know my quirk isn't suited for combat." Shira said, turning her head to the left. She saw Shigaraki running towards All Might, who wasn't making a move. Before she could think, she shot forward running towards them. She could feel Bakugo's finger's graze her arm as he tried to stop her.

Straight ahead, she could see Midoriya doing the same thing as her, intervening, but she didn't notice his legs flailing uselessly behind him. As he readied his punch towards Kurogiri, Shira took a deep inhale, her aim on Shigaraki, who didn't notice her yet. The only thing flowing through her mind was 'All Might needs help, All Might needs help, All Might needs help.'

"Get away from All Might!" Midoriya screamed, aiming at Kurogiri's neck piece. Shigaraki stuck his hand through a portal, preparing to touch Midoriya before his fist could make contact. Shira blew out a cloud of smoke, gaining everyone's attention as it covered Shigaraki. Shigaraki's eyes widened as he realized what she was about to do.

"Wai-" She clicked her teeth, and his screams immediately filled the area. His hand retreated from the portal, making it close and giving Midoriya the opportunity to land his punch. Instead, Kurogiri dodged in the last second. Before he could retaliate, the sound of a gun shot went off, and his metal clinked as bullets flew through his wisp.

Shira grabbed Midoriya before he hit the ground hard, and they slid beside All Might as the shots continued to ring out. Shigaraki's screams could still be heard through all the chaos, and it was at that moment when the reality of Shira's actions kicked in. Leaning over beside Midoriya, she emptied the contents of her stomach.

"Shira..?" Midoriya asked from by her, but she had no strength to respond. Her adrenaline finally wore off and the pain in her body and the disgust of what she just did left her body limp and numb.

Kurogiri went to protect his wounded boss from the bullets, but began to get sucked away instead. Seeing that it was Thirteen, who was now using several fingers instead of just one, he cursed. "Tomura, we must leave!"

As Kurogiri slowly pulled Shigaraki inside the portal, Shigaraki locked eyes with All Might. "I will kill you..." He then drifted his eyes on Shira. "The both of you!" He yelled, making Shira weakly look up. Her eyes widened at the sight of his burning flesh, darkened and dripping blood. He held her gaze until he could be seen no more, and Kurogiri disappeared.

After her first encounter with evil, Shira realized that what the pros deal with... what they fight against...the world of evil, was an experience that she was nowhere near ready for yet. That all hero's aren't selfish. And Thirteen was right, a quirk could easily be deadly if misused. Overwhelmed with exhaustion, Shira finally let her body collapse as she fell into unconsciousness.

All Might noticed his student's condition and sighed, finally releasing his form and reverting to little All Might. He glanced down at the girl, feeling guilt fill his system. "Oh, Young Todoroki... If only I was here sooner." He gritted out, clenching his fists.

"At least she was able to do something," Midoriya cried out, banging a fist against the ground. "I... I did nothing."

"If it weren't for you, my secret would have been exposed." All Might assured. "I have you all to thank for helping me."

Suddenly Kirishima called out. Looking his way, they noticed that he was running towards them. "Shira! Midoriya! Are you two okay?!"

All Might froze. Midoriya panicked, "W-wait, Kirishima..!" A wall of stone rose between the three and Kirishima, Cementoss standing at the end.

"We want all the students accounted for, so please head for the front of the gate." Cementoss ordered. "We will take care of the injured here."

Kirishima nodded. "That makes sense. Thank you." he turned to run back, before hesitating. "She was injured badly before she ran back into the battle. I'm sure she over-exerted herself. I don't know of All Might and Midoriya's condition, but please make sure she's alright first.." He requested. Once he got a nod from Cementoss, he turned, running back towards Bakugo and Shoto who both were tense, relaying them the message.

"Tch," Bakugo scoffed, narrowing his eyes at the wall barrier. He had half a mind of going over there anyways, but decided against it. "Whatever."

Later on, the students gathered outside after Aizawa and Shira were rushed to the hospital.

A detective walked outside, announcing that they could all go home. After Tsu asked for Aizawa's condition, the detective relayed the message.

"He has fractures in both arms and a facial fracture but luckily he's stable. Although his orbital floor is completely fractured, there aren't any signs of brain damage." He held up his phone. "Or at least, thats what ive been told."

Shoto walked up. "What about my sister?" Bakugo perked up from his spot between Kirishima and Kaminari, listening in. "How is she?"

"The girl suffered from a collapsed lung and 2 broken ribs. Luckily her skull wasn't fractured and she doesn't have any brain damage either. It seems that her body is just going through a lot of trauma according to the doctors, but she'll be able to rejoin classes in no time."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and the tension slowly fell from Bakugo's shoulders. Kirishima grinned, slapping a hand on his shoulder. "Thank goodness she's okay, right Bakugo?"

Bakugo sucked his teeth, shoving Kirishima's hand off of him before walking away. "The stupid idiot shouldn't have gotten in the way in the first place!" He shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked towards the bus alone. He thought of how she slipped right through his fingers and headfirst into the fight. "Stupid idiot..." He muttered softly.
