Bakugou POV
Extra 1 “ Man Bakugou, you really laid into Midoriya today”
Extra 2 “Yea really laid it into that nerd’
These two were ticking him off, the last thing he wanted to think about was that whole situation. Sure Deku is worthless, but for some reason he gets this weird feeling in his stomach when he thinks about what he said.
“Shut up about Deku, I don’t need to waste my brain thinking about the nerd”
Bakugou kicks a bottle mindlessly clenching and unclenching his hands
Extra 2 “Maybe we should go to the arcade, help you wind down a bit
Extra 1 “Or maybe we sneak into the bar and hit on some chicks” they say with a sneer
Bakugou whips around shooting explosions out of his hand “ARE YOU STUPID, If we’re caught I'll never be let into UA”
Bakugou is glad he won’t have to deal with these extra’s soon. Aldera, and Deku will be long behind him and he can focus on showing the world just why he’s the best.
Extra 1 “Uhh” he says while extending his shaking finger behind me
“What?” Bakugou says as he turns around to a wall of slime
“Perfect a skin suit with such a useful quirk, All Might won’t know what hit him”
Bakugou “The FUCK”
As the sludge surrounds Bakugou he lights off the biggest explosion he's ever made incidentally destroying a nearby wall “GET OFF OF ME” he lets off more explosions, each time breathing in as much air as possible as he tries to blow the sludge off of him. But it just reforms around him, locking his wrists in place.
He can't die here, not to some d-lister villain
Midoriya POV
He rushes up to the scene. Taking stock of the heroes first,
WOAH Pro Hero Backdraft is putting out fires with his hose spigots. Putting out the fires consuming the alley. While Kamui Woods grabs people from the nearby buildings and drags them behind the police line. Soo cool! He’s putting himself in so much danger to help them.
Dodging fire and rescuing everyone out of reach.
And he sees Death Arms rush towards… that's the slime villain that attacked Izuku earlier. But All Might had captured him. Izuku remembers seeing him put that bottle into his pocket.. when the pro first tried to shake him off mid air.. It must’ve fallen out. This is all his fault.
Death Arms ‘damn I cant damage him, and he has a hostage. We’ll have to wait for a hero with the right quirk.. Hang in there kid”
Hostage he’s surprised they’ve lasted so long, it felt like he was gonna die in the 20 seconds he was under. Izuku looks for the hostage, meeting Bakugou's scared eyes, he looks terrified. “Stop,you’re gonna get yourself killed kid!” yelled Death Arms
Oh he's running towards the villain he can’t stop, not when he looks like that. How to beat him.. He looks at the one eye of the villain, the eye! Izuku picks up a piece of metal as he continues running, feeling a faint pain in his hand as he winds his arm back,

Slime Villain “you, you’re that kid.. looks like I can get payback for what you did to me.” he aims Kaachans wrist right at him as He lets off another explosion. But Izuku just keeps running and finally launches the metal right at the villain's eye, piercing the edge of it. “AGHH IT BURNS, MY FUCKIN EYE. AGAIN WITH THE EYES”
The slime recedes around Katsuki as it recoils in pain, Izuku takes to chance to yank on his one free arm as much as possible ‘Quick Explode with Everything you have on the other arm”
Kaachan asks, launching another massive explosion into the villain, freeing him enough to get out.
He pulls Katsuki up and starts to run back to the police line. “Where do you think you're going”. The villain sneers as it launches its tendrils blindly lashing out in every direction. “Why are you- here deku” Katsuki says to him, half a whisper as he coughs up more slime. “My body moved on its own, I couldn’t watch you die” Bakugou is Surprisingly silent after that as Death arms rushes past them and punches the villain in its teeth, leaving a few missing. A police officer grabs Izuku Cat mutation that only affects the head, wonder if he can see in the dark. “You both need medical attention, follow me.
We will talk about that stunt later kid, but, and don't tell anyone i said this, you did good. Real Hero material.”Tch’ Bakugou utters nearly under his breath. Izuku is crying, someone finally said those words, the ones he longed to hear. Sure they don’t know he is quirkless, but still they believe in him.
The doctors look over them both whilst the heroes finish the fight, afterall, with no hostage, and no more fires being started. The heroes manage to beat him. Backdraft pumps the villain full of water until he is slow enough that they can contain him in a prison of wood(Kamui Woods has such great control of his quirk) “can’t believe you grabbed a blazing hot piece of metal kid, you’re lucky It’s only a first degree burn” she says as she puts her hand to the wound, instantly making the pain go away. “Here my quirk will numb the pain for 24 hours, now stay still while I treat it.
“Your quirk can numb pain! That’s so cool, can it numb any pain or is there a limit, does it affect you at all times or even at all? I'm assuming it requires physical contact, is it the hands or can it be any contact? Howaboutthetimeofpainnullification,ifitworksononlyacertainthresholdofpaindoesthatmeanit’llnnumbthepaintoitsmax,orwillitnotevenwork?
“Calm down kid, haven’t had someone be this interested in my quirk in a long time. If it’ll keep you still I'll answer your question. But please ask them at a pace I can actually answer.”
Izuku blushes in embarrassment. ‘Right, yes ma'am”
Eventually the heroes and police finish up with the scene and reporters, and several officers and the hero Death Arms are in front of a now fully bandaged Izuku whilst several of the pros are praising a mute Bakugou
Death Arms
“Do you understand how dangerous that was kid? I understand wanting to help your friend but you should’ve left it to the pro’s. Especially someone of your, quirk status”
Ah so they knew, probably looked him up after he gave them his name. The quirk registry does have everyone in japan afterall.
Of course it always leads back to his quirklessness, even if he had a quirk that changed his hair color (not that it couldn’t be used for hero work) he still would’ve probably received some praise. But no, they always write him off once they know his quirk status. Izuku Feels something snap at this moment, and can’t stop what comes out of his mouth next.
“I- I couldn’t watch him die like you clearly resigned yourself to doing, i mean if me, a quirkless kid could save the V.I.C.T.I.M, not hostage but victim.then you didn’t ‘have to wait for the hero with the right quirk’ everyone could tell that the kid was drowning. And anyone could see that the villains eyes and mouth were physical, something you made clear you knew when you attacked the villain after I had already DONE YOUR JOB”
Death Arm looks pissed, but Izuku see’s that they have caught the attention of some of the remaining news reporters. “SO IF YOU’RE GONNA BE A QUIRKIST ASSHOLE, at least pretend to care about those you are meant to protect. And as reporters rush Death Arms for questions, Izuku uses his rather plain look to his advantage and rushes through the growing crowd leaving with no real direction in mind..
Bakugou POV
He is in shock. The heroes did nothing, and.. And. he was saved by Deku, out of everyone it was the damn nerd, he can still taste that awful sludge
Hero “man kid you sure were awesome out there, when you make it pro, come to my office. I’d love to take you on as a sidekick as you learn the ropes.”
Bakugou is pissed at this d-lister,who didn’t even do anything. Having the gall to tell him how awesome he was and ask Katsuki to be ‘his’ sidekick. Normally he’d explode in rage and tell off the d-lister. But right now he can only stare at Deku. If worthless Deku had to save him, what does that make Katsuki? And after what he had said to him earlier Bakugou remembers that conversation in vivid detail ‘hope for a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof’ he pushed the uneasy feeling down as he watched Deku run off. He gets up brushing off his uniform. Hero “hey, aren’t you gonna wait for your family”
Katsuki “tch don't tell me what to do d-lister” and no one tries to stop Katsuki as he storms off.
