"Bakugo's team are the villains and Midoriya's team are the heroes," All Might announced as all the others turned to look at them. Katsuki and Iida were going to fight against Uraraka and Frost. All Might narrowed his eyes as the two stared each other down. He doubted either of them actually cared about the objective of this training when they could fight each other. They were way too similar to each other to give away a chance to play.
Playing with the zipper of her black vest Frost kept her face blank. It was her against Katsuki, something All Might was currently frowning about. All four of them knew that once the fighting started there was no way the building would stay in one piece. Tapping her dark green boot-clad feet against the ground she raised a challenging eyebrow as their classmates backed away from the murderous intent emanating from her blonde packmate. Feeling exasperation from Izu, she tilted her head. This was going to be fun.
Uraraka shifted as she watched her partner and opponent smirk at one another. Standing behind the emerald haired girl she noticed the golden wings on the back of her black vest. It was the same as her jacket from the entrance exam. It reminded her of the moment this girl saved her and caused her to feel warm. Smiling slightly she shrugged when Iida sent her a strange look. She didn't think that Midoriya would let her get hurt here even if her partner was rolling in battle lust.
"I said start fighting once the exercise started not before," All Might scolded. Laying a hand on each of their shoulders he kept them from attacking one another. Pouting Frost allowed him to push her back toward Uraraka. Watching Katsuki vanish into the training building she didn't even glance over as All Might led their classmates to the waiting area.
"So you know Bakugo then," Uraraka asked once they were alone. Frost raised an eyebrow but nodded slowly. During middle school, she hadn't actually interacted with most of their classmates. Feeling slightly uneasy she bit her lip.
"It's okay to talk to her," Izu said. She was still mad about Frost's refusal to allow her to help but she knew that this was a big moment for her other half. Putting aside her anger for Frost was something she could do right now, that did not, however, mean she would be letting this go for good. They would be talking about this later.
"We've known each other our whole lives, our parents went to school together," Frost said. Seeing understanding light up the other girl's eyes she assumed the girl would ignore her now. Instead, Uraraka leaned toward her.
"Why do your eyes turn gold," she asked. Frost shifted in discomfort but didn't back away.
"Quirk side effect," she said. Nodding the brunet moved back a wide smile on her face.
"Well I think it's pretty," she said.
Eyes widening Frost looked away as her face heated up. How did Izu talk to people all day? Falling into silence the two girls waited for the exercise to start. Frost knew that Katsuki would come for her first. Mainly since she'd challenged him earlier. Stealing a glance at the brunet, Frost frowned slightly, the girl would be in her way when she fought. Ignoring the disappointing feeling she got from Izu, Frost turned away again.
Hearing the timer to start both girls entered the building. The dark hallway was way to quiet and Frost could almost feel the anxiety coming from her partner. She didn't hear Katsuki coming toward her but she knew he would find her or that he was already on his way. To ensure that their fight didn't damage the objective he would send his partner to one of the above floors where the pseudo bomb would be safe.
"Alright, Katsuki will be coming for me so when he does sneak past and search the higher floors," Frost ordered. Seeing Uraraka nod she led the girl up the steps to the second floor. They'd barely gotten two feet in before something rolled toward them. The light pink ball impacted her feet before exploding in a puff of smoke.
All she could smell was cotton candy. Eye twitching she resisted the urge to curse as her advantage was taken away. Hearing Uraraka cough beside her she gritted her teeth. He would pay for this. She wouldn't be able to get the smell out of her hair for a week. Seeing a flash of yellow she stiffened. Taking a step toward him she smirked.
"Uraraka," Izu screamed. If Katsuki attacked then the brunet would get hurt. Letting a curse fall from her lips, Frost switched targets. Grabbing the choking brunet by the collar she activated One For All. Jumping out of the way she held the other girl tightly as the ground where they'd been standing exploded.
Katsuki raised an eyebrow as he waved away the smoke created from both his presumptive attack and his explosion. Frost snarled kneeling in front of Uraraka as the girl blinked in surprise. It was amusing to him how protective she was acting about her partner. As much as she claimed not to care it was in her nature to protect those around her. Seeing her reach for the metal weapon attached to her black pants he lunged.
"Go," Frost ordered snapping Uraraka out of her shock. Sidestepping his punch she unhooked the rod from her pants before pressing a button. As the staff extended she used it to knock his hand to the side and redirect his explosion to the wall instead of herself. Hearing Uraraka runoff she sighed in relief.
"Should have let the extra take the hit," he said. The coldness of the statement shaking her for a moment as she backed away. In a way he was right, letting Uraraka take the attack would have been the perfect distraction to attack him. But she wasn't about to start sacrificing her teammates just to get a hit in. Uraraka had trusted her and she couldn't let the girl get hurt for it. Narrowing her eyes she tilted her head back causing him to smirk.
Dancing away from him she avoided the explosion he sent in her direction before twisting out of his way and slamming her staff into his shoulder. This one was made out of tungsten meaning his explosions couldn't damage it. To say she'd learned her lesson after he broke six of them was an understatement.
"Left, a jump, then an explosion to put distance," Izu predicted. Smirking Frost lunged as Katsuki took a step to the left. Seeing her actions he matched her expression. Both of them knew what the other would do, so fighting like this would be more of a chore than anything else. Still, neither of them was willing to give up without a fight. Plus, this was fun, and they didn't have to hold back.
That was a lie, Katsuki would always hold back when it came to fighting against Izuku. Even if he knew it was Frost in control of her body. It would be Izuku who got hurt. Gritting his teeth he stumbled back when her staff impacted his chest. The fire filled look on her face was enough to make him smirk. Deciding to put aside his fears about hurting her he lashed out sending an explosion toward her face.
Kaminari winced as he watched the two fight. Reconciling the fact they were supposed to be friends with their viciousness in battle was hard. He was worried for Izuku yet he couldn't shake the feeling that the girl fighting wasn't actually Izuku. The golden eyes narrowed in such frustration were nothing like the soft ones he'd seen on her earlier. He would not; however, admit his surprise or suspicions.
"They do know this is training right," Mineta whined. The complaint causing an almost unanimous eye roll. No one wanted to agree with the annoying boy but they all did on some level.
Crossing her arms Momo frowned slightly. While true it was supposed to be practice, the level these two showed let them know not to underestimate either of them. not only were they good at battle but the smiles showed they were enjoying themselves. She already knew that despite her versatile quirk she wouldn't stand a chance against them at a physical battle. Someone like her was nothing but a burden if caught in a fight like this. Tightening the grip she had on her arms she frowned slightly, it was all too much for her to think about at this moment.
"I doubt they care very much," Tokoyami said.
"Their stupid," Dark shadow commented.
Kaminari raised an eyebrow his instincts trying to tell him something. Frowning he bit his lip as the windows on the right side of the building exploded. He had to wonder how Tokoyami dealt with having another personality when he had only one body. Wait. Dual personality quirks weren't that common but they were always shown on the outside somehow.
"Two," he whispered realization sparking in his eyes. Gold and green, two every different eye colors for two personalities. Or two different people. The anger she held for Aizawa during the quirk assessment test suddenly made sense if he erased her other personality. Knowing this he had to wonder which one of them had chosen to save him that day or did they both. No, it didn't really matter, she'd helped him so he would keep her secret until she was ready to tell everyone.
All Might clenched his teeth when Frost knocked Katsuki's gauntlet upward. The explosion tearing through the ceiling above them and continuing. He was going to lecture the two about recklessness later but for now, the heroes team had won. Announcing it he moved toward the door. He had two little children to scold for their behavior, not that either of them cared very much to listen to him. They would listen to Inko once he told her how they destroyed almost an entire building. He would enjoy seeing them get in trouble.
Frost sighed reaching up to touch the burned skin of her arm as Katsuki leaned against the wall beside her. She might have won but they'd almost completely destroyed the building. Something that she knew All Might was going to lecture them for. Wincing at the pain, she frowned slightly. During their battle, he'd pulled his punches. He redirected his attacks on purpose so he wouldn't hurt Izuku more than necessary. His loyalty to her other half was impressive, especially since she knew that once upon a time he wouldn't have even cared a little bit about her.
"You held back," she said. The words sounding childish even to her but she wanted a fight that would be challenging. When he simply grunted and motioned toward the stairs, she rolled her eyes, he never did like admitting when he held back. Their partners were chatting as they descended. Mainly with Iida complementing Uraraka. Katsuki pushed away from the wall as All Might came into view.
"Destruction was supposed to be kept to a minimum," he scolded. He knew that neither of them cared and that showed when Katsuki shrugged before moving toward the exit. Rubbing his forehead the man sent Frost an annoyed glance. Grinning at him without regret the girl walked to Uraraka's side.
"I see you managed to touch the bomb," Frost said. The wide smile that crossed the other girl's face was mildly amusing. It was nice being able to interact with her classmates for once. Although it would be better if they knew it was her instead of Izu.
Following All Might back to the viewing area Frost paled a little when Kaminari slung his arm over her shoulders. Not even the annoying glare Katsuki sent the boy's way caused him to release her. She'd never had her personal space invaded like this and it felt weird. Not in a bad way, it was almost warm. Kaminari himself felt warm like a heater. Confused she sent a glance to Katsuki who tilted his head in her direction before shrugging and turning his attention to their teacher. Well, that was no help at all.
"Having fun," Izu asked. The teasing tone causing her other half to roll her eyes. They both knew how uncomfortable this made her. Watching The next team enter an undestroyed building, she leaned against Kaminari's side slightly.
"Not really, you want to be in control," she asked. Being this close to another person who wasn't Katsuki was weird. Very weird, but it didn't feel bad, just strange.
"Sure," she said. Kaminari knew the instant the girl in his hold changed. Discreetly watching her face he noticed her eyes change from gold to green, her face soften, and her body relaxes from its battle-ready stance. Smiling softly he turned his attention back to the monitor he mentally congratulated himself for learning the truth before his eyes widened slightly. The entire building and hallway were frozen solid.
Izu gasped her own eyes glued to the screen as Todoroki walked through the iced overbuilding like it was completely normal. He was definitely strong, much stronger than she'd thought he was. From the growl, Katsuki let out he was either looking forward to fighting him or just surprised that someone that strong was in their class. She honestly thought it was the former just from how much he loved fighting. He would also love to prove that he was the strongest student in their class.
The only thing she could see was the saddened look in his mismatched eyes. Todoroki seemed truly sad at the moment and she wondered why. It reminded her of the looks she would see in the mirror during middle school. Looking away from him she watched Katsuki clench his fists. She could almost feel the battle lust oozing off his body. Rolling her eyes she knew he would have pent up aggression for the next few hours.
"Are you still mad at me," Frost asked. The insecurity in her voice drawing Izu's attention. In truth, she hadn't actually been angry in the first place. Annoyed and a little bit sad but never angry. She would never be angry with Frost. Although she did wish her other half would trust her.
"I was never mad Frost, just disappointed," she said. The pang of annoyance she felt coming from Frost was amusing.
"Now you sound like our mom," Frost complained. The words were enough that she bit her lip to hold back laughter.
Hi guys, I had exams last week and didn't have much time to write. In other news, my summer classes are almost over.
When Frost materializes it giver her a body of her own. USJ starts next chapter too.
Thank you for the reviews.
