《Snatched》Chapter 24

You criged for what seemed like the millionth time and tried not to look away as Ochaco was knocked to the ground again.
Her final attack had failed and she had been sent flying again, but this time she didn't have the strength to get up.
The fight between Ochaco and Katsuki had been brutal, but you were proud of both of them. Ochaco fought untill the very end, holding her own against an extreamly formidable opponent and by the look on his face, you could tell Katsuki had learned to respect her for it.
It had been one most intense fights of the tournement so far, and everyone was on edge waiting for the next round.
"Hey Izuku, you do Uraraka and I'll do Katsuki?"
"Sure."
The two of you went to find your respective people and make sure they were okay, you ran into Katsuki in the hall before you had to look for long.
"What the hell are you doing here!" he growled at Izuku.
"Oh h-hey Kaccan. I-I'm up ne-next so I was going to h-h-hang in the waiting room."
Smooth Izuku, smooth
"Well I'm here for you Kat! Congrats on winning your round."
You gave Izuku enough time to escape and go find Ochaco.
Katsuki 'Tsked' "It was his idea wasn't it? That stupid desperate plan of her's. He's the only one who could come up with something that annoying-"
"No Katsuki, you're wrong. Ochaco came up with that strategy all on her own. She acctually rejected help when Izuku offered it. If you struggled, and I know you did, just know that was all her."
He didn't say anything, he just kept that menacing expression on his on his face.
"I'm proud of you Katsuki, you did well. No matter what anyone says, you deserved that win, you trained and prepared and I would have been upset if you lost."
Finally his expression changed, now into one of disbelief. You turned around and walked back towards the stairwell to your seating area.
"What's wrong with you Y/n?"
"Um, rude."
"Cut the crap, you've been acting weird all day."
"What? Is it really that rare for me to complimet you?"
"You know what I'm fucking talking about."
You sighed, no use lying to him.
"You know that thing you do where you funnle all your emotions into anger? I recently found it makes life a lot easier and to tell you the truth... I'm livid."
You didn't wait for a response.

The next round was Izuku against Todoroki and you were scared for your baby boy.
"Iida he's going to die and I'm going to have to watch!"
"I'm sure Midoriya will come out vicorious and no lives will be lost!"
You mentaly prepared yourself for what you knew was going to happen, a lot of broken bones.
The battle started and to your surprise Izuku was holding his ground...
BY BREAKING HIS FINGERS!
"AHHHH!" You tugged on your hair as you watched another of his fingers turn purple. He had broken them all and then broken them again.
You almost screamed every time you watched Izuku cry out in pain but to your surprise every time Todoroki got hit by a blast you couldn't help but flinch.
He was almost blasted out of bounds but he made a ice wall at the las second, which his back hit hard.
You gasped and had to stop yourself from leaning over the railing to see if he was okay.
You could tell they were nearing their limits and they were saying something, but you couldn't hear.

Every part of Izuku's body hurt and each of his fingers felt like they were on fire, but he contiunued to yell at his oponent.
"You think you can win with half your strength! Look at me Todoroki you havent managed to put a single scratch on me yet! SO COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU'VE GOT!"
Todoroki's glare hardened "Midoriya, what are you trying to do here? You wan't my fire?! What, did my monster of a Dad bribe you or something?! Now I'm MAD!"
Todoroki ran towards him, but Izuku noticed his movements were slower, he needed his fire to balance out his ice.
The two of them finally started fighting at close quarters, Izuku using every part of his body he had left to use his quirk, and Todoroki runing at him again and again.
"Whatever it takes, I'm going to become a hero!"
Izuku used his quirk to punch Todoroki in the stomach sending him flying.
"Why won't the teachers stop them!"
You were fully leaning over the balcony now trying to stop yourself from jumping in and ending the fight yourself.
"Y/n, I'm sure that if the teachers thought the battle was getting dangerous they would stop it." Iida tried to calm you down, but his voice held and edge of worry.
Izuku kept punching Todoroki across the arena and yelling something at him, but you didn't know what he was saying, suddenly you heard something.
"IT'S YOURS! YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS!"
...
Flames erupted from the arena sending a heat wave across the stadium.
Everyone gasped but you just watched the flames in awe.
Izuku, you did what I couldn't.
"YES SHOOTTOOO!" All eyes went to the source of the sound.
Endeavor
"Have you finally excepted your purpose?! That's it! Very good, this is a don of a new era for us! With my blood in your veins, you'll surpass me, you will live up to he reason I created you!"
Fuck off Endeavor.
Before you knew it Todoroki had started using his ice and his fire at the same time, seemingly in retaliation.
"What is he doing! Izuku can barely stand!" You tried to jump off the balcony but Iida grabbed your leg.
"Y/n! You'll get injured!"
The green haired boy activated his quirk.
"STOP THEM! STOP THEM NOW!" you shrieked getting the attention of the two pro heroes watching the match.
The two boys jumped up to do a full power attack but just before they could reach each other, Cementos sent up several columns of cement to stop them.
A huge shock wave shook the building, and fierce wind almost blew everyone out of their seats.
There was too much smoke in the air to see what happened.
"Fucking idiots! I swear to god if they survived I will kill them!"
You franticly searched the rubble ridden area, until you found a multi haired boy barley standing in the center of the arena. You followed his gaze and gasped when you saw Izuku crumpled on the ground after having hit the wall.
...
"Fuck this shit, I'm out."
You stood up and walked away. Nobody tried to stop you.
I'm up next, then I'll go and see Izuku. I can't look at him right now.
You couldn't handle seeing Izuku after watching his match. Not only was he incredibly reckless and stupid, but he was able to get Todoroki to use his fire, which meant they really understood eachother.
I don't know why I'm upset about it. If I'm honest, this way of dealing with emotions is not as easy as I thought it was. Now I just feel horrible.

You walked into your assigned waiting room and lay face down on the table crushing your nose into the hard plastic.
"Uuuuuggghhhhhhh."
You stayed in that position until you were called up to battle the girl with plant hair.
You walked out onto the stage, this time not even glancing up at the people around you or listening to Present Mic's introduction.
You were just tired, tired and falling apart.
"Exuse me, but are you alright?"
You looked up at the girl in front of you.
"Why do you ask?"
"It's just, you look really out of it, and our match just started and you didn't even lift your head."
"Yep I'm fine. Let's just get this over with."
The girl looked skeptical but nodded anyway.
You didn't remember what her quirk was, you had missed her fight with Denki, but you assumed it had something to do with the vines she had as hair.
What type of Pokémon was good against grass types? Was it fire types?
Before you could make a decision, vines shot out of the ground and wrapped around your legs.
Sure, lets go with fire, where did Endeavor go?
A huge vine sprung out of the ground and shot right at your torso, so you bent backwards into a bridge without having to move your legs.
"Ow my back."
"An epic save from Y/n! How many tricks does she have up her sleave?!"
You were still trying to find Endeavors quirk when you noticed the vines on your legs slowly enveloping the rest of your body.
"I don't have time for this."
You found a quirk that had a similar aura to Endeavors and took it.
"Eh, close enough."
You aimed your hands and the roots on your legs...
You blinked twice looking at what you had just done.
Present Mic's shocked voice came over the speaker "I'm sure we are all dying to know... Y/n! What are you doing?!"
"Well, the last time I checked I was trying a new quirk, and now half my pants are gone, there is a huge hole in the ground and my hands smell like caramel. You tell me."
The vine girl stood on the other side of the crater you had created, wrapped in vines. She must have used them to pull herslef out of the way, but now she was way out.
"Shiozaki is out of bounds! Y/n wins!"
***
You were surprised that you hadn't burned your legs off and had only lost the bottom half of your PE uniform pants.
"Well that was fortunate." you mumbled walking through the halls.
You had realized you had taken Katsuki's quirk after he started screaming at you from the stands, so you quickly returned it and started your search for a new pair of pants. At the moment, you were looking for Mina, who was about to finish her second match.
Mina always has extras, but I could also just go and ask Momo to make me some... But then I'd have to walk all the way back. Fine Momo it is.
You had apologised to Shiozaki for going overboard but she said it was no big deal.
Note to self, don't use Katsuki's quirk unless you want to die.
You turned another corner and saw the man who you were searching for just minutes ago.
Bit late now.
You quickly turned around hoping he didn't see you.
"Y/n."
You prepared yourself to sprint away again but decided you would have to face him eventually.
"Endeavor, I didn't know you were here."
He gave you a hard stare. "I know that you've been avoiding me."
"Me avoid you." you forced out a laugh "I would never."
"Shoto is going through a foolish rebellion and rejecting me as the person who will lead him to greatness."
Wow just jumping right into it.
"I want for you to make him realize that he is being unwise and that he must join with me to surpass All Might."
He doesn't care about what his son is feeling at all. I bet he just talked to him and got rejected.
"I would love to help you out, but I have no influence over his decisions."
"I have noticed that you and Shoto no longer speak with each other, and I have no doubt that that is also just a simple faze."
You could feel him staring but you refused to make eye contact.
"Y/n, you are the only one he will listen to, all you need do is ask."
"Listen, I know what you are thinking and I'm sorry but I'm not going to let you manipulate him or me. If you truly want him to do what you ask then try to be a good father."
You walked forward, done with the conversation but as you brushed by him he grabbed hold of your shoulder, hard.
"You would be wise not to speak to me that way Y/n."
You scoffed and tore yourself away. "Do I look like I give a fuck? One more think before I go, oh mighty number two hero." you emphasised the two "Don't ask me to manipulate you son again, he dosen't care about me anymore."
The second you were far enough away, you crumpled into a ball on the floor.
That was the most terrifying thing I've ever done. Normal people don't say things like that to a hero who could ruin their entire lives and then incinerate them in their sleep!
"I must have a death wish or something." you chuckled darkly
"As do I."
You kept you head in your lap knowing who it was by their voice.
"How did your match go Tokoyami?"
"Ashido was a fearsome opponent, but in the end I prevailed. Might I ask what you are doing?"
"Is it uncommon for you to see random people huddled on the floor?"
"Yes, ineed."
"Just hyping myself up." you lied.
"I see. Forgive my intrusion, but what does that have to do with a death wish."
I wish he wasn't so preseptive.
"I may have just done the equivalent of selling my soul to Satan."
"Oh, to be so lucky."
You giggled and felt him sit on the floor beside you, he didn't say anything but his presence was surprisingly serene.
"Hey Tokoyami?"
"Yes?"
"If you were in a situation where somebody hurt you, but only because you hurt them and then you both did a bunch of nasty stuff that you knew would make the other person mad, and you were dealing with everything by making yourself angry, and all you wanted to do was punch them in the face, but some part of you still wanted them back... what would you do?"
He thought for a moment. "This is all hypothetical?"
"Uh, sure."
"In my experience, the hostile emotions don't simply go away. If there was an opportunity to battle that person, I believe it would be a prime opportunity to vent your anger and let them do the same, before you tried to fix your realationship."
"... you give great advise Tokoyami."
"All from experiance."
"Do you mind if I call you Fumikage?"
"Not at all."
You stood up and smiled at him.
"Well Fumikage, first I'm going to get some new pants and then I'm going to annihilate Todoro- I mean nobody."

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
