Chapter 8

Rin may never go back home to America. She never in her life wants to be on another 14 hour plane trip. She made it through customs, immigration, security and she found her driver. After longs days like this she wanted 1 of three things.

To have a real pet cat to cuddle up to her, really nice time with a man or a really hot shower. More often than most she's only get the later. Clearly she'd never gotten a cat and when it came down to the man department she had a number or 2 that she would call but for the most part she could do it herself.

Since she was in a new county she didn't think she'd be getting a cat soon. She didn't know anyone to fill any of her desires. So that left the shower.

It we ever got out of this traffic.

"Do you have an estimate on how long it will be till we're there?" She asked the driver. He seemed a bit surprised that she could speak the language.

"It's unclear. Traffic is backed up due to a villian attack."

She huffed and thought to wait it out it was already well into the evening hours. Maybe she could sleep in the back seat.

As they waited in the car an explosion erupted in the distance. Rin looked between the front seats to see what was going on. Smoke was billowing into the sky and then there was another explosion that was a bit closer and then another.

"We need to evacuate the vehicle right now." The drivers car that wasn't moving went into park. He was snatching up papers from the glove compartment.

Rin was still looking out the front window as the explosions kept getting closer and closer. She had never seen any villain attacks. It's not that they didn't have them in America. She just didn't live in the city where it happened. This was the first time that she'd seen anything like this.

"Is there a hero coming?" She asked the driver but saw that he had already left.

She started to panic a bit. What was she supposed to do. Clearly evaluate but where was she supposed to go.

Rin fumbled with the car door.

Explosion.

The cool air of the evening sky hit her. And she needed to figure out where to go. At first glance she only saw more road and abandoned cars.

She'd exited the car on the wrong side.

Explosion.

Looking forward she could see the villain being chased down this way. He was pulling circular red grenades out of his hands and tossing them at cars.

Explosion.

The villain was getting way to close now and Rin was making her way around the car to the safe side of the road. Stupid opposite sides of the roads.

She was running as fast as she could to get herself out of harm's way.

The villain saw the moving target amongst the abandoned street. There was always the one bystander. The one person who took a few seconds longer than the rest.

He jumped from car top to car top headed for his prey.

A growl was getting closer to him. With a giggle, "Hop, Hop. Car Top to Car Top. When will I stop."

Rin was just reaching the sidewalk when the villain had gotten to her side. She didn't know why but her brain told her that the sidewalk was a safe zone.

"Oooo. A fine foreigner you are. The Juggler is me. Fear in your eyes is all I see."

She was petrified. The man dubbed the Juggler came right in front of her.

"I-I-I….."

"Speechless you are. Here, hold this for me. If you let go the foreigner will go to the coroner." The villain forced a red grenade into her hand.

If Rin thought she was scared before she was even more so now. She felt the tears start to roll out of her eyes.

"Ground Zero. Oh Hero. Come save the day while I make my getaway." The Juggler watched the hero getting closer and took off down the alley.

Bakugou Katsuki wasn't a fool and would not be made to look like one. But he had learned the hard way when it came to asking for backup and to let your pride go sometimes as a hero.

The Juggler had left the civilian with a bomb and booked it. What he didn't know was the Red Riot was waiting for him on the other end.

He made his way over to the woman and first inspected the situation. She was crying. Clearly because of the bomb that was placed in her hand. She was definitely not Japanese.

"Everything going to be alright. I'm here to help." He repeated what he was taught in his training camp all that time ago. Even after Yuuei Best Jeanist had him take not 1 but 2 additional courses to help with his people skills.

"I can speak Japanese." The girl admitted. Her eyes were closed and the tears were still rolling down her face. She wasn't an ugly crier.

"Okay. Okay. What is your name?" He was trying to calm her down so that she didn't accidently let the bomb go off.

"I-I-I I go by Rin." She felt him stepping in closer. With her eyes shut she could try and pretend that she wasn't here but she knew better then that. So she opened them and looked into the masked heroes eyes. He had red eyes that were softly and quizzingly looking into hers now.

He couldn't place where he had seen her before but he knew that he had met her before. Now was not the time to be trying to figure out though. "Rin. I'm going to take the grenade now. Let got when I tell you to okay?"

The woman just nodded her head yes. I softly and carefully worked my hand onto her wrist when my hand reached the bomb I felt that my gloves were too thick to feel the her hand pressure on the lever.

She felt his hand pull away and as she was about to panic she watched him use his teeth to pull off his long glove. The hero named Ground Zero placed his calloused hand on her wrist. Again he carefully and skillfully wrapped his larger hand around the grenade in her hand.

"Let go." She let go and a huge relief washed over her shoulder.

Ground Zero pulled his arm back and threw the bomb in the open air as high up and as far as he could.

The explosion wasn't going to hurt her but it still made her flinch. She grabbed onto the hero's utility belt for comfort. Having him near for protection. Looking up at the savior she saw him watching her.

His black mask highlighted the crimson irises. She traveled down to look over his toned abs that you could see through his fitted black top. The orange X definitely marked the spot.

Katsuki watched the woman check him out. It was flattering and we tried his best not to flex. He recognized her from somewhere. Her brunette hair was in a messy bun. Not the messy bun that he knew girls tried to achieve with fashion. This was the I just have a long ass fucking day messy bun. To be fair she did almost get blown up.

She bit her lips as she eyes her fingers on his utility belt. His pants were baggy and hung loose on his hip. Keeping the rest of his toned body to the imagination. She knew she was undressing him with her eyes.

Ground Zero could feel her undressing him with her eyes. It's happened before but at least this time it was someone around his age.

"Are you alright?" He finally asked her.

Coming out of her daze she let go of his belt and held onto her backpack straps. "I'm okay. A bit shaken up. But I'm not physically injured."

He nodded in approval and turned to head out. "That's it?" Rin couldn't help but question.

"Uh, Yeah. Unless you're injured I'm done here." About to leave again.

"But I'm lost and need help. My driver left me too. As a hero aren't you supposed to help those in need." She eyed him down with the challenge.

Bakugou wanted to curse the women. "Well, Fuck me." He growled to himself.

"I'd love to." Rin smirked to herself.
