Title: 逃げる手 - The Hand That Bleeds
Rating: T
Summary: "I don't want to be a Hero. I want to be a Healer. My Quirk is made for healing, like my mom's, not fighting so I train to fight like a Hero to be a Healer. I want to help others to the best of my abilities." Hisoka Matsushita, raised by her mother and who never knew her father, never could quite understand where the path she would eventually take would lead her to.

AubreyKuwata- I shall try and do my very best then! I'd like to see your newest OC. That'd be nice. Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
Setsuna-Ryu13- You wanna know what I did? I went to one of those number generators and made it choose between 1 and 20. It landed on number 9 so I choose the one who was seat number 9. I am sure you know who that is. Hisoka and Fumikage huh... That would seem like the likely pair but who knows what could happen~! Here's the next update! Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
treavellergirl- Oh geez! My gut hurt so much after reading this that my mom thought I was crazy when I burst out laughing out of nowhere when we were at a restaurant earlier this week! (Didn't help that I got water everywhere... Heh...) It sounds so Izuku! I love it! Thank you for the review. I hope you like the chapter.
Chapter 6
To Shock and Surprise
Location: Bus, Nearing Unforeseen Simulation Joint, East of U.A. High School, Northern Musutafu, South of Tokyo, Honshu, Japan
Date: April 7, 20XX
Hisoka decided to sit in the back as there were few seats left in the front, choosing to look out the window as Fumi sat beside her on the left side of the bus. To their right was Shoji-san and Sero-san. The geared-up students gathered up front chatted excitedly as they went to the chosen location for their Foundational Skill of Heroics - the Trial of Rescue. They were going to be governed over by their sensei, All Might, and another Pro Hero that would meet them there.
She wondered what they'd be doing. Would they work in pairs, by themselves, or in groups? Would they be competing against each other? Maybe a race then. What type of environment would commence this Trial of Rescue? Maybe a landslide or somewhere wet... Would one of them be a civilian and needed to be rescued by the others? Would one of the Pro Heroes act as a villain and they had to be the 'damsel in distress'?
Hisoka let out a snort, her mind imagining how some of her classmates would react if they were chosen to be that 'damsel in distress'. Midoriya-san might fret over solutions, Bakugo-san would most likely try and explode the one who would be tasked to rescue him, and Todoroki-san most likely wouldn't care either way. She let out another snort as she pictured carrying Fumi bridal style. That would be a funny situation. If that happened, she would never let it go. It would just look so funny if that were to occur.
The very boy she was currently thinking about asked, "What's so funny?"
She gave the other a small smile. "Nothing... Are you ready"
"I am unsure of this, but I guess it will be known when we know more."
"Unn," she agreed, nodding, "That is true." They should hopefully be there soon as well. Everything would work well enough in the end. They were only training after all. Fumi went to his own thoughts as she turned to look back at the window at the passing green and brown scenery, her hand fiddling with the charm from her necklace unconsciously.
Then why did she feel so uneasy about this?
Hisoka couldn't help but worry that something would happen - something that was connected to the incident involving the Level 3 alarm at the Academia. She bit her lower lip in worry.
Location: Unforeseen Simulation Joint, East of U.A. High School, Northern Musutafu, South of Tokyo, Honshu, Japan
Date: April 7, 20XX
It wasn't much longer before they had arrived at a dome-shaped building, the inside composed of eight main sections, with six of them emulating a particular environmental factor: the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, a practical training area that was designed to simulate any kind of accident or disaster.
Hisoka was amazed by the sheer size of the place and how different each environment was to each other. You know that feeling you get when you walk into a small building, only to see how much space it has on the inside? Imagine that and then multiply it by a thousand. This place looked so much bigger than it had from the outside! It looked like a giant theme park! Just... deadly...
There was an area just for a city on fire, a pile of ruins that looked to be at the base of a mountain, a landslide area, something with a large slide that could be used in a waterpark overflowing with water, and two large biodomes that must hold just as interesting environments!
"Amazing! Is this U.S.J* or something!?" Kaminari-san cried out in amazement.
"Flood wrecks. Landslides. Fires... Etc. Etc. This is a practical training area I created to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters, and its name is... The Unforeseen Simulation Joint!" A man in a white space suit and a pair of yellow boots said, walking in front of their group.
Oh! Wow! It was Space Hero No. 13! She remembered watching him on TV with Fumi. Glancing at the black-haired bird boy, she saw his red eyes widen, staring in awe. It really was different seeing them in real life as opposed to seeing them on the screen.
"Hey." Aizawa-sensei looked around as he said to Thirteen, "Where's All Might? He should be here around this time." They moved closer, their voices toned down to a hush as they whispered to each other.
When they were finished, the Space Hero turned to us, holding up his fingers. "Before we begin, just one thing... Or two... Or three... Or four..." He trailed off; Hisoka and her classmates' sweat drop, silent as the numbers kept increasing. The Pro Hero took a deep breath and seemed to make it obvious this was a serious talk, "Anyway, I'm certain you're all already quite aware, but my Quirk is called 'Black Hole.' No matter what material may get sucked into its vortex, it'll all turn to dust."
"Now that's a Quirk that's perfect for removing wreckage and saving people injured by disasters!" Midoirya-san stated as Uraraka-san agreed, her head bobbing in excitement.
Yet...
"That may be, but it is something that could easily kill people. And in a way, that is no different from the Quirks you all, no, that anyone can have. Naturally, in this society of superhumans, Quirks are strictly regulated, and the requirements for their lawful use enforced. We can tell at a glance that that is the make-up of this world. That being said, you mustn't forget that each of you possesses a Quirk that can take you on any path. It only takes one step to pull you in any direction that can easily kill others even by accident." He looked at each student, judging their reaction.
Hisoka wrapped an arm around herself. There was a truth to that statement, she couldn't help but agree. Each of them had the potential to be either a Hero or a Villain. Or nothing at all... It had not mattered what it was - it was just that things could lead to somewhere in the unknown future. There were too many ambiguous variables to know what to expect. There would always be that - the unknown. The future was constantly changing after all. And she didn't know whether to be excited, scared, nervous or all of the above for that.
She guessed only time would tell.
"During Aizawa-san's physical strength test, you learned of your respective power's true potential..."
The only thing her Quirk could do was heal others; there wasn't much more potential for that. It wasn't flashy nor was it best used against Villains...
"...And during All Might's trail of battle, I think you took away a true sense of the danger of brandishing those powers against one another..."
She wasn't able to do much when she had been paired up with Todoroki-san; he took on the opposing team like it was nothing. She had only relayed what she heard to him and that had been it.
"This lesson will serve as a fresh start! Let's get to studying about how to wield our Quirks for the sake of human life! Your Quirks emphatically do not exist to hurt others! Please leave this exercise having fully understood that your Quirks exist to help people! That is all! You have my gratitude for listening so intently and patiently!" The space suit wearing Hero took a bow then, and everyone around her cheered.
Hisoka stayed silent, looking away. It was quite the rousing speech, she would admit, but it had made her think of everything that had happened to possible things that may or may not occur. Anything was possible, after all. So, she would have to look forward. She would do her best to everything that came at her.
She would help.
It was all she wanted to do.
Aizawa-sensei was leaning back against the iron railing. "Right. Now first thing's first...," he trailed off when he heard a sound. His eyes widened when a strange black mist formed into a vortex over by the water fountain. "Huddle together and don't move!" He shouted as people in costumes emerged out from the vortex. "No. 13! Protect the students!"
"What is it? Is this like that training pattern we had at the Entrance Exam?" Kirishima-san asked curiously, peering from the front of the group.
"Don't move!" Their Homeroom teacher commanded, putting on his trademark goggles, "Those are Villains!"
This feeling... There were so many. Was this what the feeling from before was? She didn't like it one bit.
"Eraserhead and No. 13..." The black fog was talking!? To bypass so many defenses... Was that his Quirk? Teleportation? "According to the teachers' curriculum we procured yesterday, All Might was supposed to be here, and yet..."
"I knew it," Aizawa-sensei clicked his tongue, "So yesterday was your fault..."
"Where is he..." A raspy voice spoke, belonging to the Villain with hands clutching all over his body. "We went through all this trouble and rustled up so many of us to bring along... You can't tell me All Might... The Symbol of Peace... Isn't here..."
Those dead, cold eyes pierced right through her when they landed on them. They were like a pair of black holes ready to suck anything into its hold. She felt like she had lost all hope with those eyes - that they would kill her just for the sake of 'fun'. This was not something they should mess with...
"I wonder if he'll show up if we kill the kids?"
"V-Villains?! Get out of here! What kind numbskull could think honest-to-god Villains would be able to just waltz into the Hero home base!?" Yaoyorozu-san exclaimed, nervous sweat dripping down her cheek.
"Sensei! What about the intruder alarm sensors...?!" Kirishima-san remarked.
"Of course, we have some set up, but...!" Something dawned on the Pro Hero as he questioned it as well.
"Is this the only campus they've infiltrated, or are they attacking all the others too...? If the sensors aren't responding, then that just means they must have one amongst their numbers who has a Quirk that can do that. An isolated space away from the school building at a time when there's a class scheduled... It may seem out of the question, but... They must have some solid objective. This isn't an ambush without some carefully planned scheme behind it."
He had a point. They were here on purpose without a doubt. They had planned this.
"No. 13, do the evacuation procedure and try calling the school. These Villains know how to get around the sensors! I wouldn't be surprised if there was an electro wave-type guy who'll try and interfere!" He turned and looked to Kaminari-san. "Kaminari, you too! Try contacting the school with your Quirk!"
"A-Ah!" Though shocked by the sudden order, he nodded. "Yes, sir!" He put his hand on the radio device next to his ear.
"Sensei! Are you gonna fight them alone?! Even if you suppress all of their Quirks, there's too many of them!" Midoriya-san said worriedly.
Hisoka looked down at the group, the last Villain coming out from the black smoke. It was true.
"The battle style of 'Eraserhead' is to capture Villains after erasing their Quirks! Meaning the main battle starts-"
Aizawa-sensei slicked back his hair as he looked at the boy. "A Hero always has more than one trick up their sleeves!" He stood forward, not looking back. "No. 13, I'm counting on you!" He leapt from the stairs, gathering up his scarfs in hand, down into the mass of Villains.
He wasn't weak. He took those weaknesses his Quirk gave him and turned them to his advantages. Goggles to hide who he looked at, the carbon fiber scarf to keep his enemies from escaping, bound and in check, and the awareness of all enemies only a Pro Hero could have.
"Go! We've got to evacuate! Now!"
They ran for the entrance, and halfway to the door before they were stopped in their tracks, a purple swirl appeared, taking the shape of a smoky mass with yellow eyes.
"I am afraid I cannot allow that," the Villain began, his voice was icy and menacing, "Greetings. We are the Villain Alliance. I do so apologize for the presumption, but we took it upon ourselves to enter Yuuei Academy, the base of Heroes. In order to engage with All Might, the 'Symbol of Peace'. We were wondering if we might be allowed the opportunity to extinguish him, you see.
Kill All Might... What...
"Was All Might not meant to be in attendance at this juncture?" He went on, "Perchance, has something been altered? Ah well... setting that aside..." The fog began to circle around them. "This is my role."
She made to move, Fumi clasping on her wrist to stop her, as he unfurled his smoky wings, only for Kirishima-san and Bakugo-san to jump and attack him. A huge explosion was set off from Bakugo-san's Quick, creating a massive dust cloud.
When it cleared, Kirishima-san said, his upper arm hardened, "Bet you didn't think we'd be able to do you in before you got the chance!"
Despite the attack, the black smoke wasn't done. "That was quite perilous. To be expected, you live up to your school's reputation even if you are just students. But... that is just what you are. Children!" He moved once again.
"Run, you two! It's no use! Run!" No. 13 shouted in desperation, the cap on his finger opening.
"You will be scattered..."
The fog was beginning to envelop all around them! She felt Fumi's grip on her tighten, hearing a command of 'Don't let go.' from him as he gripped onto something. She could only see black as she tried to keep a hold on the other, the wind picking up around them.
"...And tortured..."
He could hear cracking and the whipping of wind. Red eyes opened as he tried to stay ahold with his Quirk digging into the stone ground.
"Fumi!" He heard, looking back to see Hisoka with a look of pure fear on her face.
A string of black smoke wrapped around her lower half, beginning to suck her in. He felt his grip on her begin to slip. He tried to keep ahold of her as she tried to keep both hands on his. Yet... It slipped; the fog moving between them separated their grip.
"NO!" He shouted, watching his precious person slip from him. Dark Shadow's grip on the ground released and he tried to get to her, their fingers centimeters from touching, yet she was pulled into the pit of black fog. "Hisoka!"
He soon fell into his own pit of fog.
"...And slain..."
"Fumi!" She had called out before she fell, her arm stretched out, as she was wrapped up in the cold darkness.
She couldn't see, couldn't feel...
Then, she fell.
*USJ: Universal Studios of Japan - I looked up pictures and wow! It seriously looked like it so much!
Author's Note: So... Hisoka got teleported away. Woooooooo! -jazz hands- Where do you think she'll end up? Where do you want her to end up? By herself? With one of the others like where Bakugo and Kirishima or Todoroki are? Then who would she fight? Or she could very well be used as a hostage! So many variables with even more outcomes. Who knows what could happen!
On a less dramatic note, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! What are you all thankful for? Well... It is less than a week away so I'm still wishing it to you and it'll be my birthday as well. I'll be turning 20! Yatta! 1 more year and I will be able to drink legally! Have fun with friends, family, or by yourself (if that's your thing then that's cool!) or whatever else you do!
So, because of this, I am unsure if there will be a chapter or not. I guess you will have to wait and see what will happen then. You may never know what could happen~!
Once more…
Happy Thanksgiving!
