Chapter 2 Blasty (AKA Angry Boom Boom Boy)
"HEY!" an angry shout came from in front of the group. "WHY THE HELL ARE ALL YOU NERDS OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE?"
Rather than being alarmed, the group smiled in happiness and amusement. A figure came out from underneath a tree, practically shaking the ground with every harsh step. He had spiky ash blonde hair, and red fuming eyes.
"WELL, HELLO? ISN'T THIS ILLEGAL OR SOMETHING?!" He shouted.
"Hey Blasty, how ya doin'?" Kirishima piped up first, giving him a cheerful wave.
"Well I was fine till' you all showed up." He grumbled under his breath.
"Lots o' Karens at the Dollar Tree?" Kaminari added slyly.
"You know dang well I don't buy crap from the Dollar Tree…" He said when he noticed Castiel standing behind them.
"Who the hell is that?" He said eyeing Cas up and down.
"He's a random man we found on the street!" Mina chimed in.
"Well that's one way to put it…" Sero sighed sarcastically.
"His name is...er- hold on." She turned around to face Castiel. "Who are you again?"
"I think that guy on the phone called him Cars or something." Kaminari added, nodding sagely.
"My name is Castiel. I am an Angel of the Lord," he said with pride.
"Uhm, what." 'Blasty' said, glaring Cas down with a frighteningly intense gaze, despite being shorter than him.
"Oh, c'mon Explosion Boy, don't scare him away!" Sero smiled innocently.
"So you're telling me," the ash-blonde hair boy began, now turning his murderous stare onto his friends. "That you found a random person, that you don't even know his name, AND YOU BROUGHT HIM TO MY HOUSE?!"
"Well, no, we-"
"AND HE CLAIMS HE'S A FRICKIN' ANGEL?!"
"You remind me of Dean," Cas said. "A really, really, angry Dean."
"WHO THE HELL IS DEAN?!"
"Bro, you just need to control your anger,-" Kaminari started, only to be cut off by a hard hit on his head, from the one and only Angry Boom Boom Boy.
"I'M NOT ANGRY, YOU'RE ALL JUST STUPID! I'LL KILL YOU ALL NERDS!" He raged into Kaminari's ear.
"Dang it, I thought we were past the whole nerds thing," Sero muttered. "At least maybe idiots, jeez!"
"Your reasoning doesn't seem logical," Cas remarked.
"And you," The infuriated boy growled, rounding on Cas. "What's your quirk anyways? You look pretty weak, I bet I could blow your face off so hard, they'll be piecing you back together for weeks."
"Oh you can't kill me. Only the sword of an Archangel can. And I am more strong than you can imagine. Also, what is a… quirk?" Cas tilted his head.
"I-" The blonde began, probably to add another snarky remark, but he stopped, trying to decipher what the latter had just said.
"Sword of a what now?" Mina asked, curiosity bubbling inside of her.
"Sounds like a Pokemon!" Kaminari added, bouncing on the balls of his still bare feet.
"No it is not a 'Pokemon'," he had no idea what Pokemon was, "It is a sword that all Archangels carry."
"That's so manly!" Kirishima said, voice full of awe."But like...what's an... Archanglellel?"
Castiel sighed. "An Archangel is an angel of high rank. Shouldn't everyone know this?"
"Well shouldn't everyone know what a quirk is?" 'Blasty' scoffed, rolling his eyes, obviously annoyed.
"Dude, give him a break! I don't think he's from around here," Sero whispered the rest of his sentence. "He didn't even know what Crocs were!" 'Angry Boom Boom Boy's' eyes widened at this, and he eyed Cas with a judgmental grimace.
"Hey Blasty," Kaminari began.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT, KNOCK-OFF PIKACHU!"
"Hypocrite much? Anyways, let's try something new! It's called 'helping people.' Since this here person doesn't know what a quirk is, why don't you show him?"
"DON'T BABY ME! I KNOW HOW TO HELP PEOPLE, DANG IT!"
Cas looked at the friends with interest. If this is how friends act with each other, I now understand why Sam and Dean stick together.
"Ahh, screw him, he's hopeless," Sero said, pushing the fuming blonde aside. "I'll show you what a quirk is!" Sero then proceeded to pull up his sleeves, only to reveal his abnormal elbows that seemed to be shaped like...tape dispensers? The boy with black hair positioned himself so that the joint of his elbow was facing 'Blasty' and a long strand of tape shot out of it, wrapping itself around the angry blonde.
Castiel's eyes widened with awe. "That was fascinating!"
"HEY, WHAT THE HELL TAPE FACE?!" 'Blasty' shouted, squirming in the plastic's sticky grip.
"That is a quirk! It's like a sort of super power, and everyone's is different." Sero explained, turning back to face Cas.
"Everyone here has a power? How have I never been to this place before?" Cas whispered, reaching to touch Sero's elbows. Sero chuckled awkwardly, trying to place as much distance between himself and his elbows as possible, while still trying to explain quirks.
"Y-yeah, Everyone's quirk is different, for example, true to his name, Blasty's quirk is-well- explosions."
"DON'T-" there was a loud sound and a billowing cloud of smoke rose from the tape cocoon that was 'Blasty' as he broke free of his plastic chains. "-CALL ME THAT!" He seethed, hopping to his feet as fast as he could.
"Every quirk also has its drawbacks, like for example Denki's- or as you know him Kaminari's- quirk is electrification. But if he uses it too much, his brain short-circuits and he becomes really, really stupid for a while!" The raven haired boy continued, signaling towards his blonde friend as he spoke about him, still trying to ignore the strange feeling of someone inspecting his elbows.
"Hey!" Kaminari said, offended.
"How do these… quirks work? Are they granted to you? Do you earn them?" Castiel asked eagerly.
"Not really… everyone is born with them, but you don't have them when you are born, they generally form some time when you're 5 or 6." Kirishima explained, squinting his eyes.
"Hmm interesting," Castiel said, putting his face up close to Kirishima's. "How does it affect your brain? Does the electricity go through your head?"
"Uhh...I'm not sure…" Kaminari trailed off, leaning over and tipping his head upside-down, as if it would help him remember.
"It's the stupidity finally getting to him." 'Blasty' remarked with a sneer, causing Kaminari to glare at him.
"My quirk is acid, and that's why my skin is pink!" Mina piped, flicking the hair out of her dark eyes.
"Do your horns have anything to do with your quirk?" Cas asked, reaching to touch one of her curvy horns.
"No, I'm pretty sure my parents are secretly Area 51 escapees." She said with a sage nod, before realizing that he was poking her horns, causing them to wiggle back and forth. She tried to keep a straight face, but failed.
"Please stop…" she muttered quietly.
Cas paused and stepped back. "Oh right. Personal space. Dean still needs to teach me about that."
"What about you? Where are you from?" Kirishima queried, cocking his head to the side in curiosity.
"How are you an angel?" Kaminari added, eyes twinkling.
"I am from heaven. This is my vessel, I am possessing a human. If you saw my real form your eyes would burn," Cas said simply, thinking it was common knowledge.
The group's eyes widened as they took this in.
"Well that's….violent..Wait, did you just like snatch someone's body then?" Sero commented, tacking a question onto the end of his observation.
Cas shrugged. "The man prayed for it. He sacrificed his family for the common good."
"Eh...what? Who did?" Kaminari said, trying to wrap his tiny head around this.
"My vessel. His name is Jimmy. His wife is dead and his daughter is an orphan."
The group stayed silent, staring at this man strangely.
"Did he sacrifice them?" Sero asked, quieter than normal, but still confused.
"No, of course not," Cas said, his eyes widening. "He just left them, his wife was possessed by a demon, and Dean had to kill her, and his daughter is living at her grandmother's house."
The five teenagers sighed at first, until they heard the rest of his statement, causing them to tense up again.
"Dang! That is crazy!" Kirishima gaped, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Wait, wait wait, demons and angels are real?" Kaminari finally realized, catching up to speed with everyone else.
"Woow, you realize this now?" Sero face palmed. Kaminari smiled, glad he finally figured it out, then turning to Cas, still wanting an answer.
"Yes, demons, angels, vampires, werewolves, witches. All real. All disguised as humans."
Kaminari's eyes went wide as saucers upon hearing this, but he quickly narrowed them bringing his hands to himself protectively. He eyes his friends with suspicion.
"Disguised as humans? I trust no one.." He muttered dramatically, still glaring, but mostly joking.
"Oh, you don't have to worry," Castiel said, pulling out a silver knife from his trench coat. "You just have to test everyone you meet by cutting them with silver or pouring holy water on them. I've seen Sam and Dean do it all the time."
Kaminari jumped at the sight of this, not expecting it in the slightest.
"Gaah- but I-I'm pretty sure everyone here is safe, so y-you can put that away!" He quivered, his voice trembling as he tried to sound casual.
Cas narrowed his eyes at the boy's peculiar behavior and put the knife back into the inside pocket of his trench coat.
"By the way, just in case we meet anyone else, it is not normal to just-er- pull out knives like that…." Sero told him, wondering what else this strange man could possibly be hiding inside his various pockets.
"Dean always has a gun in his pocket, I assumed everyone did," Cas said innocently.
"Eeeh, not exactly…" Kirishima uttered, fiddling with the hem of his shirt. "Who is Dean anyways?"
Cas hesitated, and an odd feeling came into his stomach. "Dean is a… friend of mine. He and Sam, his younger brother, are hunters. They hunt all kinds of monsters."
"That sounds sooper cool!" Kaminari said, his voice full of disbelief.
"Trust me, it's not. Dean always looks so sad. He wishes he had a normal life and his family wasn't forced to do this job. But," Cas shrugged. "it was fate."
The excitement in Kaminari's eyes faltered.
"That sounds… for lack of better words, really depressing." Kirishima said, reading Kaminari's expression. "But super manly!" He added, trying to lighten the mood.
"Kirishima, don't tell me you believe this weirdo!" 'Blasty hissed out, looking at the other four in disbelief. "Angels and crap aren't real."
"I...Well he doesn't seem to be lying…" Kirishima murmured, looking at the angel in his peripheral vision.
"I don't lie. I'm an angel," Cas said, flinching at the lie he just told. He's lied many times in his life, but he still likes to believe he lies for the greater good.
"Hmmmm….." Kaminari hummed, squinting his eyes and getting in Castiel's face. "Seems legit!" He said bouncing back.
Cas frowned. He wasn't sure if 'legit' was a good or bad thing. He assumed it was good, Kaminari seemed to believe him. "Yes it is… 'legit'."
"I'm pretty sure he's not secretly a murderer or anything, so we should be fine!" Mina chimed cheerfully, clapping her hands together.
"I've killed many things. But I've never killed anyone who didn't deserve it."
"...okay, so maybe he is a murderer. But as long as you don't kill us, then we're good!" Mina added, chucking awkwardly, scratching the back of her neck.
"Oooooo," 'Angry Boom Boom Boy' started, suddenly interested. "D'ya think you could kill Deku? Like, three feet tall, green hai-"
"Bakugou!" Kirishima cried, slapping his ash blonde friend lightly on his arm.
Cas tilts his head. "Bakugou? I thought your name was Blasty. Or Angry Boom Boom Boy."
"Wait you thought-...PFFT-" Mina snorted loudly, hunched over as she laughed uncontrollably. The rest of the group was soon to follow, well minus Blasty McSplodes himself.
"HEY WHAT THE HELL? THAT'S NOT EVEN MY NAME!" He spluttered fiercely, small explosions erupting from his hand, his face bright red with either anger or embarrassment.
"Well then what is your name?" Cas asked, oblivious to how Bakugou was acting.
"No,-" Kaminari started trying to regain his breath as he practically rolled on the floor. "No, you're right! Just call him Blasty,-pfft- and ignore whatever he says!" He managed to let out before giggles overtook him once more. Bakugou shook with fury, desperately trying to get them to stop.
"H-HEY! S-SHUT THE HELL UP, DANG IT!" He said, positioning himself as though he was about to attack.
"Oh Blasty," Kirishima wheezed. "You really need to lighten up!" He panted before walking over and leaning on Bakugou's shoulder, trying to regain his balance.
After their uncontrollable laughter subsided, which took longer than it should have, they found they were quite food-starved.
