“Kaminari!” You yell, attracting the attention of the blonde in the backseat. “Sharpshooter! Now!”
With the guns firing into the car, you’re unsure if he can actually do it without getting injured but all you can do is watch helplessly. Kaminari whips off his seatbelt and turns around to face the van. He quickly brings up his arm gear and fires a disc at the van. Luckily it stuck straight into the hood of the van and stayed there. A silent cheer rang out inside you but you knew that it wasn’t over yet, you couldn’t celebrate yet. Kaminari raised his hand in an odd position, one that you didn’t recognize but could only assume it was used to direct his current of electricity. Your guess was right when a torrent of bright light escaped from Kaminari’s hands. You felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand because of the outlet of electricity coursing around him. The van comes to a screeching halt and Bakugou slams on the breaks, choking you on the seatbelt. The force throws Kaminari into the seat in front of him with a loud thud and a groan. You and Bakugou both climb out of the car, slamming doors behind you. Kirishima stays behind to make sure that Kaminari didn’t stupify himself for the second time in one night.
The hood of the van is smoking from where the engine was shorted out and the people inside were stunned from the shock. Bakugou being, well, Bakugou, opens the door harshly with his hands on the verge of sparking up an explosion. “WHO SENT YOU AFTER US!” He yells, spittle flying from his mouth as he seethes in his own anger.
You quickly pull the angry child away from the door and cast him a look, one that read ‘shut up, kid’. You turn to those in the van and with a stern yet firm tone you begin rattling them for answers. “Why did you come after us?” You ask.
“The boss said so.”
“Who sent you after us?”
“The boss.”
“Are you going after someone in particular?”
Silence hung in the air as you awaited an answer.
“You.”
The answer took you by surprise and you stepped back instinctively as to not get caught by them. Bakugou pushed you behind him and he glared at the two inside the car. As if on cue a small shock of electricity went to the van again, knocking both of the crooks out cold. Both you and Bakugou step back, eyes full of heavy concern for the unexpected information. Why the hell would they need you? You of all people? Bakugou gestured you away from the van now, silent but holding a understanding expression in his eyes. He understood the initial shock that the information held for you but, he was right. It was time to keep going. You head back to the car with the ash blond hastily and you relay the information to Kirishima and Kaminari. “So we should be protecting you instead of you protecting us?” Kirishima asks.
You shake your head vigorously, obviously objecting to that statement. “No, I don't need to be protected just because some thugs want to capture me. Protect yourselves before me, you three are the future generation.”
“Yeah but, why you out of all people? Why not go after someone like Bakugou with his explosions or me with my electricity?” Kaminari asks.
You shake your head, unsure of how to answer. “I don't know, kid. They're villains, nobody is ever entirely sure what their intentions are.”
Silence takes over the car, leaving unasked questions unanswered and asked questions in a pit of confusion and uncertainty.
