Part 50
"Well? Are you gonna get up?" She sassed. I gruffed as I forced myself to sit up, gritting my teeth as even that was a rough and painful task. "Hurry up, everyone is already making their way to the camp."
"Will you g-give me a damn minute?" I groaned.
"I should just leave you here you know? I don't know why you should get special treatment anyways, all the other students have to walk from where they were, yet you get a free ride." The blonde complains. "Kota." She nods him in my direction. He hops off makes his way over, helping me with a bit of struggle to even get me on my knees.
"You call this special treatment?" I growl as we start walking towards her, Kota pulling at the back of my shirt to keep me standing straight as I wobble forward.
She crossed her arms. "Yeah, what else would you call it?"
"A reminder." I gruff as Kota helps me onto the beast as he hops in between us. The dirt monster rises and takes off into the air.
"A reminder? A reminder for what?" She dares.
"A reminder that I'm still a killer." I see her tense. "You didn't forget did you? I know Mr. Aizawa or someone from the school had to give all of you here a warning with who you'd be watching over. Why do you think you had to be the one to watch me?" Her body shook a little bit. "Like I said, this is a reminder that I'm still technically a criminal that can be sent back to Tartarus, especially if I do something wrong, like hide from my authorities of the school, go somewhere on my own without notifying anyone, or kill you." The dirt of the beast began to crumble and fall for just a few moments as we nearly start to fall, her composer from behind immediately stiffening as Kota screams. The beast comes back together and we keep flying. She looked back at me.
"You gotta lot of damn nerve-"
"Are you sure it's me, or you, that has the nerve to piss off and underestimate a person willingly ready to commit homicide if she wanted or needed to at a moments notice." My voice filled with warning as her eyes grew scared and unsure. "Of course, I would never do that. Unless Principal Nezu told me to that is. I promised myself that I would only kill villains if needed and use my quirk to protect the people I loved because of this second chance. So I am not about to let all my hard work be ruined because you decide to have a little attitude."
She looked ahead of us towards the camp, cleared her throat, and seemed to regain her composer just a bit. "Huh, and here I thought you were only being obedient so you could score with All Might to be at the top."
"Oh please, he's not my type, and I'm not a desperate old hag like you."
"I'll show you old!" She yelled. "And besides, even if that's the case, it's only a short amount of time until that boyfriend of yours will want someone with experience too." She brags, flipping her hair.
I cover Kota's ears as he groans in irritation. "I never said I wanted All Might. Plus, I know what my boyfriend wants, trust me, experience won't be an issue. Even so, you already have a stick up your ass, so why don't you use that to go fuck yourself, and stop being a bitch to me and leave my boyfriend alone?"
"Shut up! I've had enough of you!" She hisses.
"Why don't both of you shut up? I've had enough of both of you." We look and I find we've landed already. Students were coming out of the building in their new clothes and heading to an outdoor kitchen set up to cook. Aizawa stood just beside us with an unimpressed glare. Kota hops off and walks away to who-knows-where.
"Y-yes sir." I mumble and slide off of the beast. With a few stumbles, I manage to stand on my own. Barely.
"L/n. Stop antagonizing Pixie, she's not worth it. You're suppose to practice respecting authority anyways." He lectures.
I nod. "Y-yes sir. I'm sorry." I bow to him then to Pixie begrudgingly.
"Now go get dressed and help the others with the food." He orders. I nod and limp off, hoping to find Izuku soon so his presence would help heal me a bit.
"And you." He growls to Pixie.
She gestures wildly to herself. "Me?!"
"Yes you. You were warned about her and what she could do. So stop purposefully provoking her and act your age. You're lucky she didn't kill you." He began to walk back to his students.
"Oh please. She may be a criminal, but I'm still a Pro Hero! It's my job to take care of monsters like her-"
"She's no monster!" He yells back, catching her off guard. "Yes, she's a criminal, but she has changed, whether you would like to believe it or not. She's becoming a hero." He walks away again until he says one last thing. "Besides, she's a smart girl. I'm sure if she wanted to, she could make someone's death look like an accident." Pixie gulps. "So I suggest you watch who you pick your fights with."
💚
After I run into Izuku in the hall, who actually carries me to my room because of my condition. I dress while his back is turned and we head back outside with me on his back. The whole class and I laugh and joke around as we cook. Several hugs and small kisses from him helps send sparks through my body, making me heal little by little throughout the night. At some point I lose him, but I don't worry and keep eating with the others. When Izuku comes back he looks disheartened as he sits next to me slumped in his seat.
After I ask what was wrong he exhaled. "I found Kota and tried to give him some food as a peace offering, but when I tried to talk to him about his parents and anger towards heros, he went of on me. I think I just made it worse." He slouched down further.
I grabbed a freshly baked nugget and shoved it into his mouth, catching him off guard. When he ate it, his face lit up and looked to the small plate in my hands that were full of nuggets with some sauces on the table.
"Here, I made these if you want some." I handed him the plate, which he took immediately.
"You made these?!" His eyes sparkled. I giggled at his childish demeanor.
"Yeah, they aren't hard to make, so this was my part that I put in for the cooking. Now eat and stop being upset over Kota. It's not like you're just gonna change his whole mind set in one night. Psychological damage, or trauma, takes more time and a certain finesse with words to help. Especially for a boy his age."
"Woah y/n, when did you become so wise?"
"Hey! I have some knowledge about things, I'm not brain dead- you know what, I'll take those nuggets back!"
"No!" He keeps the plate out of my reach as he tries to gobble them all down.
💚
The next morning, we all got up again and trained throughout the day. When it was over, Pixie and Kota picked me up again and this time, no words were exchanged. I used what I learned during training yesterday so I wasn't really hurting today, but I was mentally exhausted and I could feel my insanity slipping, just a bit though. Nothing a little time with Izuku can't fix.
We arrived, and Mandalaya told us to quickly to get dressed in casual clothes, so I chose a t-shirt and some shorts since it was going to be hot all night. I didn't run into Izuku but I did meet up with Ochako, and we walked back outside to the two classes. When it was announced that we would be separated into groups of two for some courage test, I was paired with Momo. As it just became dark and there was no sign of the sun, it began. Some groups went ahead of us, and as soon as Ochako and Tsu had to go, I immediately had a bad feeling, like a chill running up my spine as every hair on my body stood on end with an uneasy and alerting feeling.
I wanted to tell Momo but I didn't. I knew I didn't really experience much of my parents side effects as mentally as much as I have physically when I'm fighting, so I didn't know if it was the instinct side effect of my mothers that is making me stand alert, or if I'm just nervous. It made me confused.
"Is something the matter y/n?" Momo asked. "You've been glaring off into the woods for a while."
".....I don't know......something just...doesn't feel right." I say, staying as I was.
"Oh, you may just be nervous, I guess being in the woods at night is scary, but I think the teachers are having us experience what this environment will be like if in the future we're called for hero business."
"Mh." I nod, but say nothing. Every second that goes by feels like I'm letting the worst come. Am I just paranoid?
"Alright, L/n, Yaoyorozu, your up." Mandalaya gestures to the dark path ahead of us. A sudden unfamiliar yet urgent feeling over took me and I sped walked into the darkness. Momo called after me as she tried to catch up.
"Something's wrong." I mumble.
