Reader: F Character:Toshinori Yagi/All Might Rating: M Summary:You are the wife to the villain, All Smite Warning: Implied Violence, All Smite AU, Housewife!Reader Tip Jar |Commission Info | Ask Box: Open
“Honey, I’m home!” Toshinori cheered as he entered the small home your shared.
Toshinori Yagi, also known as All Smite, he lived a life of crime. He stole, fought and won. He was the number one villain in the country, he struck fear into the hearts of many and intended to keep it that way.
But everyone had their soft spots and Toshinori was no exceptions. He had you, his lovely wife. You were the one thing he couldn’t live without. He loved you deeply. But getting married to a criminal was tricky business. It involved you keeping your last name, Toshinori used a different name and you had someone in his inner circle officiate the wedding.
You were unofficially known to his inner circle as Mrs. Yagi, but on paper you still had your last name.
“Honey, where are you?” He asked as he poked around the living room. There was no sign of you, he looked around and called out for you until he heard your beautiful voice.
“Oh, hi, baby.” You smiled, “Sorry I was cutting the chicken for the cutlets tonight.”
Toshinori entered the kitchen, a bag in hand and a grin on his face, “Did you miss me today?”
You chuckled, “I miss you every day.” You turned around and saw him. A speck of blood across his white shirt and on his chin. You sucked your teeth and shook your head, “Toshi, what did I say about getting blood on your shirt?”
He looked down at his shirt to find the blood, “I didn’t get any blood on me.”
You lowered the heat of the air fryer, hot up on your tippy toes and touched him on the shoulder, “Right here, honey.”
“Oh, I’m sorry my love.” He sighed, “I was trying to be careful. But there were some officers sniffing around our home, I had to take care of them.”
“Is that why you have quite a large bag in your hand?” You asked as you placed your hands on your hips.
He gave a slight smile and pulled you into a hug, “Can I not just buy gifts for me lovely wife?”
“Suck up.” You chuckled as you kissed him on the lips.
He pulled away from the kiss and handed you the bag, “For my favourite person in the world.” He smiled.
You brought the bag to the table and opened it, inside was a new dress. This one had strawberries on it. You opened your mouth in surprise, you had been looking at it for some time in the shop window. And further in the bag was a small box containing a necklace in the shape of a strawberry.
“Oh, honey.” You said as you looked back at your husband, “You shouldn’t have.”
“How could I not, you love strawberries and I love you.” He smiled and pulled you into a hug, “Plus you’ll need to get some new dresses because of the little one.” He said as he reached down and touched the slight curve of your belly.
You chuckled, “It also means you might have to go more underground soon, he’s getting bigger every day.”
Toshinori smiled and went in for another kiss, “Soon my dear, one more project and I’m all yours until the baby comes. Now go try on the dress, I want to see it on you.”
“Okay, okay, but keep an eye on the rice cooker and fryer.” You chuckled as you grabbed the bag and headed to the bedroom.
Toshinori leaned back against the counter and picked off the dried blood. One more task, take down All for One, then he can relax with you. He knew strawberry dresses don’t make up for him not being home as much.
But that hero needed to be taken down, and then he can have his family in peace. One more battle and then he can finally stay home.
Warnings: Some language, very fluffy, and partial breakdown
I think this is the last part but we will see, LOL!
+Y/N is safe and sound. They got her out and back to the school before anything worse happened. Y/N wakes up to multiple voices and her Dad at her side. It wasn’t long before Recovery Girl clears her to leave. A surprise is waiting for her in the classroom, the entire class. After a small meet and greet, Y/N and her dad go home, and Bakugo goes with. Not only are thingsokay between All Might and her but things between her and Bakugo are better than okay.
The first thing that I could feel when I came to was the crisp material under my finger tips. The next thing was the stiffness of my arm and neck. The third thing I noticed was the multiple voices that were muffled to my ears. They become clearer after a few minutes.
“She will be fine All Might. She has a few wounds that are treatable and are already healing. She is strong just like her father. She pulled through.” I heard Recovery Girl say. I tried to open my eyes but it was too hard at the moment.
“I know she is. It’s just hard seeing her banged up like this.” I felt him grab my hand and rub a thumb over the top of him. I still couldn’t open my eyes yet.
“She held out against two major villains who beat her and she found out a way to alert us of her location when the opportunity presented itself. She received two decay wounds that could easily have been fatal and held out until she was safe with Eraser.” I heard the principal speak.
“She truly is the daughter of All Might. Through and through.” Aizawa sensei commented. Loud yelling came from somewhere in the distance. “Dammit, Bakugo.”
“Let’s go calm them down, Eraser.” Nezu said.
“All Might?”
“Yes, Recovery Girl?”
“Now you know how she feels.”
“What do you mean?”
“You said it is hard seeing her like this, all banged up?” She paused. “Now you know how she feels when you come back all banged up. Especially in your condition and ever before. It’s hard for her to watch you come home beat up from you over doing it.”
“Damn. I’m starting to think I’ve been missing too much about my own daughter.” I heard the pain in his voice. I was finally able to gather enough strength to open my eyes and move. “Y/N!” The grip on my hand tightened. I groaned as the lights glared at my eyes. I looked around the room, spotting Recovery Girl at the end of my bed with my dad sitting next to me. “Sweet heart, you’re finally awake. How do you feel?” He spitfired the questions at me.
“All Might, Let the girl breathe.” The woman chuckled and dad smiled sheepishly.
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay.” My voice came out hoarse and cracked at the end. I coughed hard and tried to sit up. Dad helped and it took a minute to calm down. By the time I did, the decay wound on my neck was throbbing.
“Here, drink this.” Recovery Girl handed me a glass of water.
“Thank you.” I whispered before taking a drink. The movement reminded me of the decay wounds. I hissed at the pain that pulse from my arm. I whimpered a bit, looking down at the extensive bandage that covers my entire forearm.
“It’s not often you make a trip to my office.” I looked at Recovery Girl. “You gave everyone quite a scare. Your father most of all.”
“I’m sorry…”
“ No, no, no.” Dad said while sitting next me on the bed. He gently laid his arm across the mid part of my back. “This was no way your doing. I’m just glad, relieved, and overjoyed that you are alright… Alive.”
“A little worse for wear but I’m alive.” I’m a hand over the bandages and over the ares on the back of my neck. It was silent as Recovery Girl checked me over, making sure I was doing alright.
“Well your breathing is a little rugged and your blood pressure is a little high but otherwise you are alright.” She set aside her BP cuff.
“So when am I allowed to get up… to go home?” I asked as she handed me some pain medicine.
“Just like your father.” She smirked looking between the two of us. “You are fine to go now. Just take it easy please.” She said with pointed eyes. I gulped, but nodded.
“Yes ma'am.” I laughed as she left the room. I looked up at my dad. I could see unshed tears in his eyes. He got up and walked over to a bag. He pulled out a set of clean clothes. He handed them to me before closing the curtain.
“Y/N?” He called softly.
“Hmm?” I slowly got up and started changing.
“I’m going to make it up to you. I should have seen what I was doing and what was happening. From now on, I am going to do better, I promise. I am going to be supportive, I am going to be there… here when you need me, and I am going to be the dad…”
“You’ve always been.” I pushed the curtain aside. He looked down at me in shock. “You’ve always been an amazing dad, dad. Your abilities as a dad match that of your hero ones. Everyone is bound to slip up every now and again. If you weren’t the amazing dad you are… you wouldn’t have remembered Shilla’s Palace from when I was a kid.”
“How could I forget Shilla’s? You would always ask to go even before we got off the plane. Some of our funnest memories happened there. I remember this one time…” He went off on a story before trailing off when he noticed my smile. I shot forward and hugged him tight. He hugged me back gently but firmly.
“Everything’s okay now dad.”
“Everything?” He asked tentatively.
“Mm hm. Everything.” I nuzzled into his chest, feeling safe for the first time in days. He nudged me and motioned to the door.
“Come on. There are a few people waiting to see you.” I nodded and leant on him as we walked. He guided me towards the class 1-A room and stopped outside the door. I could hear the murmur of chatter beyond the barrier.
“Do they know? That you’re my dad?”
“No, only Midoriya and Bakugo. And young Bakugo only knows of the other me.”
“Alright.” I stumbled a little bit as I took a Step towards the door but caught myself on the door frame before I could fall. I pushed the door open and the talking stopped. I could see Aizawa was sitting at his desk and looked at me as I stepped in. I loomed over and saw the entire class.
“L/N! You’re alright!” Mina yelled in glee. The rest cheered in delight and triumph. Saying things along the lines that the villains never stood a chance, that I was too strong for the wannabes, and many more things. My eyes traveled to the far side of the room to see Bakugo at attention in his seat. His eyes were trained on me.
“Thank you guys.” I said with a smile after a couple of Minutes visiting. My eyes moved back to Bakugo. I stilled as he got up. He walked around the desks and closer to me but stopped a few feet from me.
“Bakugo?” I heard someone in the room call to him but neither of us looked away from each other. I saw Bakugo’s lips tremble.
“L/N!” Bakugo shot forward and I gasped as he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. I wrapped mine around his shoulders as he pulled me in enough he was lifting me off the ground a little bit.
“Bakugo.” I stuttered as he buried his nose in the crook of my neck. I felt his muscles flexing against my back as he kept me against him. I could feel his rugged breathing against my neck and under my finger tips.
“God dammit, L/N. You scared the shit out of me.” He whispered. I bit my lip before looking at the rest of the class. Shocked faces looked back at us but a few were smirking in knowing.
“Alright, enough gawking.” Aizawa said. Bakugo jumped in shock before pulling back a little. He looked around, seeming like he forgot there were others in the room. “You’ve seen her now go home. She’ll be back to class soon enough.”
“Yes sensei.”
“Of course.”
“Goodbye L/N!” I wazed as everyone left except Sensei, Bakugo, and Deku by the door.
“I am glad you’re alright. It would be terrible to lose you, L/N-san.” He said smiling before leaving. After he left, Dad in his All Might form Stepped in.
“Let’s go home. You need the rest.” He said. I stalled looking at Bakugo for a second. “Young Bakugo is able to come with us as well if he wants too. I have already spoken to his parents.” I felt his grip tighter on me.
“Then I’m coming with you.” He said loudly. I smiled as he looked down at me. We walked out and I heard Aizawa mutter under his breath.
“Great. Not only do we have to deal with an angry Bakugo but now a Protective, angry Bakugo.” I giggled before coughing. I coughed hard enough to go light-headed and stumble. Bakugo caught me before setting me on my knees to catch my breath.
“Y/N!” Dad called.
“Y/N are you alright?” Bakugo asked softly. I nodded and tried to get up but my Knees gave way.
“Dammit.” I groaned, annoyed. “I hate being this weak… Kat…”
“Shh.” Bakugo placed his hands on both sides of my head before kissing the top slowly. “You’re not weak, just exhausted.” He swiped a thumb across my cheek. I looked into his eyes and saw the soft look in his eyes. I set my forehead against his. “Let’s get you home.”
“Okay.” He helped me stand before sweeping me off my feet into his arms gently. “Ah! Hey! I can walk.”
“Whatever.” He shrugged. Before meeting Dad at the end of the hall.
“There is a car waiting at the front gates for you two.” Dad said.
“Wait, Dad you’re not coming?” I maneuvered out of Bakugo’s arms with great effort.
“Dumbass, careful.” He steadied me. I flinched a bit but focused on dad. He looked at Bakugo.
“Can you give us a moment?”
“Sure.” He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked out of ear shot.
“I will be home, I promise. I am just going to drop by and get some food for the three of us. That’s all.” He said. “Plus, I believe you and young Bakugo have some things you need to Work out.” We looked at said boy leaning against the wall.
“ Yeah, you’re right. Be careful.” I kissed his check before taking a step back. “Don’t do something stupid in between here and home.” I gave him an ‘I’m serious’ look.
“I won’t. I promise.” I nodded before walking to Bakugo. “Take care of her, Bakugo.”
“With my life.” He said without missing a beat and without taking his eyes off me. We walked through the school to the gates. I groaned when I settled into the seat, laying my head back. I watched Bakugo get in and settle.
“How did you manage to get your parents to let you stay at my house?”
“Ha! When they heard it was helping All Might they were all for it.” He huffed.
“Even if it’s helping his daughter who is your age and in your class?” I smirked. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. He turned toward me and set his arm above my head.
“I don’t think it’s their business but yes. They know that this is for you and …” He trailed off, looking off to the side.
“Katsuki?” I reached up and touched his face.
“They realized how important this was to me.” He looked down at me. I smiled before setting my hand on his chest. I felt his fingers begin to play with my hair. A yawn escaped my throat. “Haha. Guessing you’re tired.”
“Mmm hmm.”
“Here, lay on my chest.” He pulled me closer by my good arm. I moved in closer before where my shoulder was tucked under his shoulder and my head on his chest. He moved his arm to set it across my shoulder but paused and put it back on the back of the seat. “Sorry. I forgot about your neck.”
“It’s okay. Thank you.” I whispered before I started dozing off. I could vaguely hear Bakugo talking and him moving around. I fell under for a bit before waking up a little.
“Hey there, little powerhouse.” I opened my eyes to see the window wall of my room. I was laying on my front and pushed up and turned around. Dad in small form was sitting there.
“Hey dad.”
“Here you go. I got you something that would be easy on your stomach.” He handed me a food container.
“Thank you.” I looked around. “Where’s Kat?”
“He’s having a bath. He should be done shortly.” He said. I nodded and ate slowly. “You really like and care for this boy, don’t you?” He asked.
“Yes.” I said without hesitation. I went still in shock at myself. I chuckled when I realized my feelings. “I’ve always been fond of him but I’ve never realized how much until now. Maybe even…when I thought he was just comforting me because Aizawa told him too.”
“He truly cares for you Y/N. I don’t think you have to worry about that.” He took the empty food container. He stood up and kissed my head. He turned into All Might while walking to the door. He coughed a bit. “Oh and Young Bakugo will be staying in your room tonight so be good.” He smirked.
“Dad!” He laughed as he walked out. I laid back down on my stomach while huffing. A few minutes later I heard someone walk in. I pushed up onto the elbow of my good arm and turned to see Bakugo in sleep clothes and wet hair. He smiled at me.
“Hi.” He said. I waved. “I brought you some pain meds.” He held out his hand.
“Thank you.” I took them and took a gulp of the water he brought. He sat on the bed and I stared at him.
“What?” He said, narrowing his eyes.
“Nothing.” I giggled, cocking my head to the side. “I’ve just never seen your hair not spikey and Poofy.” He blanched. “It’s cute.”
“Yeah, well your hair is cute too. I guess.” I giggled as I took his hand. I traced the lines of the source of his powers, faintly smelling the sweet croma that came with it. “I was so pissed when I heard that you had been taken. Pissed off and scared. I wanted to blow Shigaraki to the fucking moon when your dad told me. I still do.” He grumbled the last bit. “After what I said… you walked out of sight and into their hands because of me…”
“Katsuki…” He was tracing the bandage on my arm. He let out a small laugh.
“I like it when you say my name.” He said softly.
“Katsuki.” He closed his eyes and smiled. “This is not your fault. None of us could have known this was going to happen. So don’t blame yourself.”
“I know. I won’t. Especially since you’re safe here with me.” He scooted in close where we were nose to nose. I felt a small sprinkle of water across my cheeks.
“You’re hairs still wet Mr. Katsuki.” I reached up and ran a hand through his hair before settling it on his cheek. One of his hands set on my waist while the other caressed my cheek.
“Y/N would it be alright if…” he trailed off. I could see the nervousness in his eyes. I smiled and pulled him into a kiss. He immediately responded, holding onto me tighter. The kiss was sweet and soft but no less passionate as his lips moved against mine. We gasped as we both pulled away. Something was strange.
“Kat?” He hummed, looking at me longingly and with hooded eyes. “Was that your first kiss?” His face went red as his eyes widened in embarrassment. I giggled before kissing him again.
“You little…” He groaned in annoyance before sighing. “Alright, yes it was. Don’t make fun of me.”
“I’m not. I promise.” I took the towel he had set aside and began to dry his hair. He bent his head down so it would be easier for me. I was almost done when my hand slipped and hit my forearm. I yelped and dropped the towel as I pulled my arm in.
“Shit, are you alright?” He threw the towel somewhere in the room while gently reaching for me.
“Yes, I just hit my arm.” He looked over my arm. He gently touched the bandages before looking up at me.
“It doesn’t have any signs of further damage. I think you’ll be alright.” He glanced off to the side. “It’s getting late, we should get some sleep.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” He got up and went to turn off the lights. A thought came to mind. “You’re not leaving, right?” He turned to me and smiled.
“Of course not. I’m not leaving as long as you need me.” He came over and laid down next to me. “Even if my dad calls me home again.”
“Alright.” I chucked. I went to lay down but as soon as my neck hit the pillow, I reeled up in pain. “Crap. How do I keep forgetting about these?” I felt him shift and then his fingertip grazed my shoulder.
“How do they feel?”
“To be honest, numb. Most of the time it’s just numb. Until I hit it anyway. Then it is shooting pain. Like being burned without the fire or being pricked with a thousand needles dipped in liquid nitrogen all at once.” He hummed.
“I’m sorry. I can’t imagine What you went through or how this feels.” He rubbed the back of my shoulder. “I laid you on your stomach earlier. That would probably be best now too. Here, lay on my chest. So you don’t lay back on your neck.”
“Okay.” I laid down, setting my head down. He reached up and turned off the lamp. In an instant, the room was slightly illuminated by starlight. I looked out at the stars. “You there was a moment I thought I wouldn’t make it out.”
“Really?”
“Mm hm. All they wanted to know was my connection to All Might. They were willing to do whatever. I got the bumps, burns, bruises, cuts, and… decay wounds to prove it.”
“You came through though. You’re strong. What was that your dad called you, Little Powerhouse?” He teased. I hit his chest. I shook my head before closing my eyes.
“Yes. That’s what he calls me. What of it?” He did not answer but started rubbing circles in my back. I hugged him as I started to doze.
“Y/N? there was a tall, skinny man here just before your dad came home. He had blonde hair with basically black eyes. Who was that?” I tried not to stiffen.
“Oh that’s Mr. Yagi. He’s my dad’s personal assistant.” I said as I adjusted. “He must have been here to meet with my dad.”
“Oh, okay.” He kissed my head. “Goodnight, Y/N.”
“Goodnight, Katsuki. Thanks for not letting me get left behind.”
+ Y/N has been Kidnapped and everyone is freaking out. All Might is on the verse of a rampage,Bakugo is on the verge of a breakdown,all while Y/N is trying to keep herself alive. Shigaraki and Dabi try everything to get her to talk but she never does. Fed up with her silence, Shigaraki tries something else. That ends up being a mistake on his part. She finds a way to let the heroes where she is and they come to her rescued but not before Shigaraki has his hand in it.
I groaned as I came to. My head hurt, my mouth was dry, and my arms felt numb. I tried moving but my arms remained behind my back. I tugged again and finally felt the bonds on my wrists. I opened my eyes but couldn’t see much due to bad lighting.
“What the hell…” I whispered. I squirmed and wiggled around until I was able to sit up without my arms. I took a breath and licked my lips to get at least a little moisture back.
The room was small and dank. There was a small window by the ceiling, letting me know I was in a basement. The only piece of furniture in the room was a metal chair in the corner and the dirty mattress I was on. I pushed up to my feet and stumbled until I got my balance back. I walked around the room, trying to find any clue of where I was, who took me, and if there was any way out.
“Crap!” I groaned as a sharp pain went through my side. I went to a knee and hissed, fighting back tears. A clicking noise pulled my attention to the door. I looked up and saw a tall, black-headed male with scars covering his body.
“Good to see you awake, Sweetness.” I recognized the voice and nickname. He was the one who grabbed me and drugged me.
“You are the one who did this…” I trailed off when I remembered the second, familiar voice. “ With… Shigaraki!” I took a few steps back. He smiled maliciously.
“So you remember the crusty man. He was wondering if you would.”
“Kind of hard to forget the man who attacked your class and nearly Killed your teacher.” I hissed, trying to get out of my binds again.
“You got a point.” He said, watching me. . “Let me introduce myself. I’m Dabi. And if you continue to try to get out of those binds…” He lit up his hands in blue flames. “I’ll burn you alive.” I froze and he smirked.
“Now, now Dabi.” The owner of the raspy voice crept into the room. “We need them alive, if we want this to work at least.”
“What do you want with me? Do you realize how stupid it was to take me from SCHOOL GROUNDS!? Are you idiots?” I exclaimed. “You have to be since you attacked the USJ with the ASSUMPTION that All Might would be there. For the most Elite villain group you’re quite the fail…”
“ENOUGH!” A hand wrapped around my throat. I was slammed back into the wall. In that moment was when I tried to activate my quirk but nothing happened. I panicked a bit. “What? Just now realize you can’t use your quirk?” He laughed crazily.
“What did you do to me?” I asked. He let go of my throat and turned me around. He grabbed my binds and pulled my arms up. I gasped in pain.
“Quirk cancelling cuffs.” He hissed, dropping my arms. He pushed me hard against the wall. “And I know your extensive fight training history. So if you try anything, I will dust one piece of you at a time.” He held his hand in front of my face. “Or… he’ll burn you. So I suggest you behave.”
“Go screw yourselves!” I yelled, pushing him back hard. He grunted and stumbled back. I whipped around and tried to run but was grabbed by the end of my hair. I was yanked back and onto the floor. I landed awkwardly. Something felt off. I looked up just in time to see my hair finish disintegrating in Shigaraki’s hand.
“That was a warning.” I looked down and saw that my hair was now up to my shoulders. “ Next time I will do something that hurts.” Dabi was chuckling behind him. “Now, from the files I stole from the school, you have some affiliation with All Might himself.”
“So we want to know what that is.” Dabi walked closer and knelt down. “Are you going to tell us or do we have to pry it out of you, sweetness ?” I clamped my mouth shut and glared. They chuckled.
“The hard way it is then.” I looked up at Shigaraki. He was scratching at his neck with a wicked grin. Shivers ran up my spine as dread filled my mind.
3rd POV
The class was going crazy in worry, confusion, and downright fear for their classmate. She had already been in a bad way when they saw her last and now she was kidnapped. How had the villains gotten onto Campus? Who were the villains? Why did they take Y/N? What were they going to do to her? The teachers were not much better. They were trying to figure out how Shigaraki and Dabi had gotten past the gates even though they didn’t know it was them. But no one was worse than All Might.
“All Might-san, please sit down. You’re going to work yourself into a fit.”
“Don’t you think I know that? Damn! Don’t you also think I kind of have a right? My own daughter was kidnapped right under my nose! From one of the safest places in the country! I think I have a right to be a bit emotionally unstable.” He yelled. “Not to mention, I am unable to ever go after her at the moment because I am OUT OF POWER!”
“All Might! Sit down!” Aizawa yelled. All Might reluctantly did, dropping his head into his hands. Tears streamed down his face.
“I can’t lose her.” He said meekly. “She is all I have in the world that I would give everything up for and would die without.”
“Ever being a Hero?” Aizawa asked. All Might looked up.
“In a heartbeat.” He said with such strength that if made everyone nearly have to take a step back.
Meanwhile, the students were in their classroom. Some were quiet with fear, some were loud with panic. Bakugo was sitting at his desk, silent as a mouse. He was beating himself up on the inside. If he hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t have walked off out of sight and got kidnapped. He growled and spooked Midoriya.
“Kacchan?”
“What you damn Deku?” He growled looking over at him. Midoriya flinched but continued.
“Are you alright? You are quiet.”
“Why wouldn’t I be alright?” He got up and advanced on the green-haired boy. “I’m just peachy.”
“Ahh!” Midoriya yelped before speaking. “I was just wondering because you and L/N are so close and you’ve been spending time with her a lot lately, so I figured you would be at least a bit worried about her. But being you I could be wrong. And I could be reading the situation wrong and… Well, she is my friend too, so I’m very worried about her even though I know she can handle herself.”
“SHUT UP! Damn, you’re so annoying when you ramble.” Bakugo shook his head. “ Of course I am worried. I have been hanging out with her. Especially after the fiasco a couple of days ago…That reminds me. Why were you involved in that little confrontation the other day? Huh? That had nothing to do with you bu yet you were there.”
“Umm.” Midoriya avoided Bakugo’s eyes. Bakugo leant on the others desk and got in his face.
“Uh, Bakubro? What ya doing there?” Kiri called from the otherside the room.
“Spill. It.” Bakugo said lowly.
“Ummm…” Paric settled in Midoriya’s eyes.
“Young Bakugo. A word please.” A loud voice cut the tension in the room. Everyone turned and saw All Might at the door. Bakingo growled and shoved off the desk and into Deku before stomping out the door.
“What do you want?” He growled.
“I know I’m not your favorite person at the moment and I don’t blame you but you’re the closest person to my daughter right now.” Bakugo looked down, shoved his hands in his pockets, and kicked the ground.
“No I’m not.” All Might looked at him confused. “I said something stupid and now she thinks I don’t like her at all. Which is… Which is as far from the truth as you can get.” He admitted.
“Young Bakugo…” All Might traised off. They both stood in silence until Bakugo finally looked up at the hero.
“All Might, what are you going to do? Do you know who took her?” All Might was taken back when he saw tears in the corner of the young boy’s eyes.
“Yes we do.” Bakugo looked at him expectantly. “It was Shigaraki and a new member of the League known as Dabi. He has a blue fire quirk. And as for what we are going to do, I am not sure. First, we have to find out how they got in and then…”
“Find her! You have to find her!” Bakugo interrupted.
“Don’t you think I want to? Do you not think that I don’t just want to go out and search every inch of this city until I find her? I want to but I can’t. It not only is a dangerous idea but illogical. I could in the long run bring more harm than help to the situation. It could inevitably get Y/N seriously injured or even Killed. So as much as I want to go out, I can’t. You see?” Bakugo’s eyes widened before his gaze fell again. All Might watched as the tears streamed down Bakugo’s face.
“I’m sorry. It’s just…” A hand on his shoulder stopped him.
“I understand. We’ll get her back. I promise. Then we both can make up for what we’ve done.”
Y/N’s POV
I coughed and hacked as I crawled across the floor. The swift kick to the ribs Dadi had given me did a number. At some point they had unhooked the cuffs from each other. I don’t remember, just eventually realized. I dropped my body against the wall. I winced in pain.
“Who is All Might to you?! Tell me!” Shigaraki yelled. He was sitting against the wall next to the door. He had let Dabi take over the physical part of the interrogation a little while ago.
“Screw you!” I yelled. Dabi went to advance on me again but Shigaraki stopped him.
“Ah, that’s enough for now.” He got to his feet and walked over to me. I pressed myself into the wall and glared. “We’ll come back later when the pain and … the weight of the situation sets in.” They walked out and I heard the lock set in place.
“Shit.” I whimpered.
My body gave out in the next second, crumpling to the floor. I gasped heavily and gripped my side. I choked on my own breath. I never realized how much my quirk helped me take a hit. Tears were trying to force their way up.
“Don’t cry. Don’t cry. You’re going to be okay. Just hold out a little while longer. Wait for…” A loud bang of the wall made me jump. I signed and closed my eyes. “Wait for the right moment and then fight back.” I passed out after that.
I don’t know how long I had been here but it had to be day Wherever we are, it was hidden from the heroes rather well. The beatings, the questions; they kept coming but I never said a word to answer. Shigaraki grew more and more irritated. Sometimes they just questioned me, sometimes they tortured me. I was covered in bruises, cuts, and burns.
“This is getting nowhere, Crusty. No matter what we’ve done, she has resisted. Not said one word towards what you want from her.” Dabi growled. I was sitting against the wall in front of them, unmoving. I was totally exhausted.
“Don’t call me Crusty! And don’t you think I know that.” He snapped. He groaned, kneeling in front of me. He grabbed my chin and lifted my head. “You little bitch. You’re resilient, I’ll give you that.”
“It’s time to cut our losses, Shigaraki. She’s a dead end.” Dabi crossed his arms.
“There has to be something else to break you.” He whispered, tightening his grip on my chin. I managed a glare before hitting his hand off.
“Never.” My voice came out cracked and saff but still strong. He bared his teeth and snarled. He grabbed my wrists and slammed them against the wall. I whined a bit but nothing else. He got up in my face.
“ You either have a death wish or Whatever it is you are not telling me…” He trailed off. He stared at me. “Must be very, very interesting and important. Something that would be very bad if you let it slip through your lips.”
“Damn it.” I heard Dabi groan. I wriggled against Shigaraki’s grip. Something lit up in his face.
“I wonder if we should ask All Might himself” He grinned evilly.
“What?” I gasped. He let go and pushed up. He went over and talked to Dabi quietly. Dabi’s expression went from annoyed to anused. Shigaraki walked out of the room while Dabi stalked up to me. He grabbed me by the throat and yanked me up from the floor.
“Come on Sweetness.” He chuckled. “We got a little show to do.” He drug me from the room. I looked at everything I could as he drug me through the halls. Trying to take in every detail that could tell me where I was at. The building was obviously abandoned or at least very run down. I nearly fell down the stairs as he tugged me along. My body was screaming in pain but I couldn’t stop him. I tripped hard enough on a landing that I got out of his grip.
“Hmph.” I groaned as I hit the ground. I huffed and huffed before I looked up. There was a hole in the wall in front me. A spark of hope shot through me. A familiar sigh of a place me and Dad used to go to when I was a kid and we were visiting the city. I smiled as Dabi yanked me up.
“Clumsy bitch.” He murmured. We walked into a large area and Shigaraki was waiting there. Dabi pushed me towards the man. He grabbed me and reconnected the cuffs before he attached a chain to the cuffs. He pulled the chain, lifting the chain above my head. I hissed at the strain on my arm and shoulders.
“Behave.” He warned. I saw Dabi pull out a phone and start filming. Shigaraki started talking and threatening. I didn’t pay attention to what he said but focused on my actions. I had wanted to learn sign language as a kid and I am sure as hell glad Dad indulged me. I couldn’t sign out words but I could sign out letters. I began spelling out the name of the place while keeping my head forward.
“Ah!” I yelped as Shigarani hit me in the stomach. I doubled over the best I could.
“Now if you want to see her alive again I suggest you figure something out, All Might.” I quickly sighed ‘AC St’ and hoped they would notice. Before I could do anything else, I was knocked out cold.
3rd POV ~ Back @ UA
Somehow, Shiggy had gotten the video sent to the school. Nezu had seen only enough to realize what it was. He called Yagi and Aizawa immediately. As soon as they got there he told them about the video.
“Play it, play it now.” Yagi nearly yelled. Nezu nodded and played the video on his TV in his office. All three of them were quiet as the video played. Yagi was ned in the face by the time the video ended. Aizawa and Nezu watched him closely.
“She’s alive…” He whispered. He ran a hand down his face. He took in a shaky breath. “Play it again. I want to see if there is anything we can use to find her.” They all watched the video over and over again. The two could tell Yagi was trying to keep it together watching his daughter over and over again in her injured state. The tears were ever present in his eyes.
“Nothing. There is nothing to go by. All this video is, is a threat to us against her. Mostly to get to you.” Nezu said while thinking about Shigaraki’s words.
“There has to be something!” Yagi yelled, nearly pulling his hair out. His eyes were locked on the TV. He couldn’t give up. The two conversed behind while he watched the video again. He watched Y/N closely. This time he caught the movement of her hands and fingers. They were measured and proposed. “Wait, I think I got something.”
“What?”
“Zoom in on her hands and restart the video.” He said. They did just that and watched carefully. “Sign language! She’s spelling something out. She insisted on knowing it and I’m glad I let her.” Aizawa grabbed a pad and started writing out her message.
“Shilla’s Palace. AC St.” Aizawa said out loud. “What does that mean?” Yagi paused.
“Shilla’s Palace. It was a place I always took Y/N as a kid to when we visited the city. It was her favorite place. AC St. That I’m not sure what…” He trailed off as Nezu pulled up the place on a map. They all looked at the surrounding area. The building across the street looked dilapidated. Suddenly, a thought popped up in Yagi’s head. “Y/N’s Short hand! 'AC St’ means across the street! She’s across the street!”
“They have her in the abandoned department store across the street.”
“Gather the teachers and call the police. Let them know what’s going on.” Nezu said. Aizawa nodded and left the roone. Yagi went to follow but Nezu stopped him. “Not you, Yagi.”
“But…”
“It’s your daughter, I know. But you need to stay behind. You are too biased when it comes to this. It would be better for you to be there when they bring her back to comfort her then out there fighting When she needs you.” Yagi couldn’t argue with that.
“Just as long as we can have the rest of Class there when she comes back.” Nezu smiled.
“Then you better get to calling people.” Yagi smiled and nodded. He pulled out his phone starting with a certain blonde.
Y/N’S POV
I woke up with a major headache. I groaned, turning over onto my back. I stared at the ceiling with contempt.
“God I hope that worked.” I whispered as I rub the knot on my head. I pulled my knees up to my chest and sighed. I looked at the tiny window in the top corner of the room to see it was nearly dark. “I’ve been out for how long?”
“Shit, crap, dammit!” I heard yelling come from the hall. I tensed, setting my hands on the floor, readying myself for anything. The door slammed open, leaving a major dent in the wall behind. “What did you do?!”
“What?!” I looked at Shigaraki confused and defensive.
“There are heroes in the warehouse. What! Did! You! Do!” He yelled. Relief washed over me. I smirked and it only pissed him off more. “Ah!”
“Keep yelling and you’ll lead them right to us.” I said cheekily.
“Damn girl.” He shot forward and grabbed me by the neck tight. He glared into my eyes.
“Get out of here Dabi. Back to the hideout. I won’t be far behind.” Dabi didn’t think twice before he was gone. Shigaraki yanked me forward and drug me through the building. With the little energy I could muster, I threw my fist at his face. I knocked that stupid hand off his face stumble back, letting me go. He turned to look at me and blood was running from his nose.
“It’s an improvement.” I teased before going to hit him again. I got a few hits in before he grabbed my forearm. With all five fingers. I screamed and tried to pull away. I saw my Skin start to crack and looked away. He dropped my arm before connecting my cuffs and grabbing me by the back of my neck.
“You little brat.” the drug me to a railing and yanked me to stand up right. “This who you’re looking for?” He said loudly. I looked down and saw Aizawa and a few of the other teachers. They all looked up at us.
“L/N!” Aizawa yelled. “Let her go?”
“Let her go, huh?” He snickered. “Sure, but first…” I felt him place his finger down on my neck before a searing pain toon over.
“No!”
“Ah!” I screamed, nearly blacking out from pain. Next thing I knew, I was falling over the railing. I felt someone grab me before falling again.
“After him!” The person holding me yelled. I whimpered and squirmed from the two decay wounds. I opened my eyes the slightest bit to see Aizawa.
“Sensei…” He looked down at me.
“Hey you’re okay, kid. You’re safe.” He assured me. He moved me gently before looking at my neck and forearm.
“Where’s my dad?” I said in a small voice. He stopped before looking at me.
“He’s back at the school waiting for You.” I burst into tears. He pulled me into his chest and soothed me. He petted my head as I could faintly hear muffled voices. I peeked out to see a few paramedics and Midnight. A black rim was growing around the edge of my vision.
“ Aizawa-Sensei, is the room getting darker?” He looked down at me confused.
“No the room’s not getting darker, why…Hey, hey Stay with me L/N!” I felt him shake me gently. “We need to get these cuffs off her. Her quirk accelerates her healing process.” Everything started to go blurry before I felt the need to shut my eyes.
“Night, night Aizawa-sensei.” I barely heard his protest before passing out.
I take back everything I said in my leak reactions post except how much I love Sansa’s faces. This chapter was great! The real thing was so much better with full art and all the wordy bits together in context. Strategy-wise, I’m glad the heroes are FINALLY taking a page out of the villain playbook — we’ve seen our heroes get separated at USJ, the forest camp, Kamino, the UA crush in the provisional licensing arc, the Shie Hassaikai raid, the war arc, Deku’s solo stint….and never with a backup plan or Plan B. They CAN be taught!
At the outset, I was struck by the All Might/Aizawa foiling that forms the backbone of the chapter. They’re in the same building at the same time; a first since They Talked™️ in Ch.257. I love seeing these two disabled heroes, who were originally staunch loners, learning to rely on each other as a team. Of course, they still have very different styles. All Might is big and theatrical and energizing the crowd; Aizawa is quiet and straightforward and helps others conquer their fears 1 on 1. But seeing each man using their individualities to bring strength to a team? Yeah, we love to see it.
I also like seeing All Might express faith in Aoyama’s heroism, because it’s the answer to the question Present Mic was asking a few chapters back; namely, can you really trust this kid? As I wrote here:
Mic is asking the kids to think hard about whether Yuga — the kid who sold out the heroes to save his family — is the right person to help the heroes deceive AFO. AFO, who wont hesitate to kill Yuga’s parents. The generations-old guy who can sense emotions and a change of heart from afar. Who uses other senses to make up for his lack of sight (meaning he likely has a Matt Murdock-like ability to sense pulse rate changes when people lie). In other words, what’s to prevent Yuga from victimizing heroes like Aizawa AGAIN when AFO goes after Yuga’s parents, as he most certainly will?
The real answer is no, they can’t 100% trust him, but they can support him and influence him with friends and faith. Friends to protect Aoyama and his family, and then faith that Aoyama will pick himself up and be a hero. Both All Might and Aizawa decide to put their faith in Aoyama, just as Izuku and 1A did last chapter.
But I was impressed we heard All Might say, out loud, that this was a matter of willpower and CHOICE. He chooses to trust Aoyama and Aizawa, just as he chooses to keep living. All Might may not have a lot of options in this final battle, but he still affirmatively chooses to speak up and support Aoyama rather than roll over. It’s a nice parallel between All Might/Yoichi and Izuku/Aoyama. Yoichi, as the vestige leader, had to convince Second to support Izuku, just as All Might is convincing Tsukauchi to support Aoyama. Is it delusional to believe a traitor can save them all? “Can these boys really bring an end to all this?” Yes, they can.
Further, All Might recognizes what AFO has done to Aoyama. AFO forced the kid to betray the heroes (or what Tsukauchi crassly refers to as “decent society”) but Aoyama did it to SAVE his parents. Aoyama knows what he did was wrong, but he had to choose who to save. He didn’t want to hurt his friends or teachers and is wracked with guilt over it. All Might, more than anyone else, knows how AFO uses lives as tools and throws them away.
Toying with and breaking people is the very source of All Might’s rage against AFO, and the reason he says he can’t forgive AFO in Kamino. (Reminder: When All Might talks “defeat” or “putting down for good,” he doesn’t mean death, even for the “unforgivable” AFO.)
There is also the harsh parallel to All Might’s own life. Since middle school, All Might has been “the pillar” and “the symbol,” but as the star-headed dude said in Ch.325, “along the way people forgot about the heart and soul that made the man.” All Might was himself exploited as a resource by citizens and other heroes. He knows the feeling of a society resting on his shoulders. He knows Aoyama’s inner turmoil. And he knows he passed all of that on to Izuku, too.
Actually, this chapter has both Aizawa and All Might reflecting on how they — as heroes and hero course teachers — are helping society exploit their students. Let’s turn to Aizawa: He’s had a similar pep talk with Izuku before the Shie Hassaiki raid, but here he is refreshingly blunt about the role of his students in this battle. Aizawa is taking personal responsibility for these kids and the choice to put them on the front lines. I don’t think we’ve EVER seen that before. Not from Nana or Gran, not from Nezu, not from the HPSC. And while both sides use people as tools, the difference is (1) Aizawa is transparent about what he is doing with Aoyama and Shinso; and (2) he won’t abandon his students afterwards when their utility is gone.
Art-wise, look carefully at the panels of prior Tartarus conversations vs this Aoyama conversation. Horikoshi generally places his heroes on the RIGHT side of the page, except when making a particular point (go back to Ch.116 and see when AFO is flipped to the right side). But here, Aoyama is on the right side at the end. Kurogiri is shown head-on. Aizawa knows these 2 characters; he’s seen what’s in their hearts. He knows they can be heroes — and he knows they have friends to support them — so THEY sit in the hero’s chair. I still think that, overall, Aizawa is out for revenge for everything the LOV has done to him and his students, but he’s become more flexible in how he thinks about villainy and unfairness starting with people he personally knows well.
In the panel below, Aoyama’s middle is missing, removing both his restraints AND all associations with his purchased quirk. Aoyama can still be a hero without that quirk (and, in fact, his value to the heroes right now has more to do with AFO than a belly button laser). BUT AIZAWA IS BEING HEROIC WITHOUT HIS QUIRK TOO. In this panel, Aizawa is exposing all of his physical weaknesses to the reader. His right eye, right elbow, and right leg are mutilated. Yet you can barely see that in the image. With everything hospital- and quirk-related stripped away, and both characters in clothes that aren’t their own, all you see is the teacher engaging his pupil in a vital lesson. That’s how Aizawa can contribute for now.
Finally, why is 10km (~6.2 miles) the minimum separation distance for AFO and Shig? A few possible reasons:
It’s outside the radius of most radio waves so AFO and Shig can’t communicate easily;
it’s outside the radius of AFO’s gloopy warp (which definitely goes 5km in Kamino but unclear if it can go further than that);
vertically upwards 10km is the separation line of the atmosphere between weather/water vapor and calmer skies (but thinner air and less oxygen; eg, helicopters can’t fly 10km high);
vertically downwards it’s the edge of the earth’s crust (eg, the heat will kill you unless you regenerate like Shig in the Star chapters). For reference, Tartarus is only 0.5km below sea level, and AFO was able to coordinate w/Shig there.
We learned last chapter that the UA buildings can tunnel underground AND can fly (though Power Loader hints this may not be fully operational yet). Given that tidbit, I’m guessing this battle will go all out above and below ground. Also, AFO!Shig has wings and post-Tartarus AFO does NOT have Air Walk. While we’re on the subject, AFO!Shig lost Reflect, which would have been the hard counter to Aoyama’s navel laser, but AFO should still have his copy. Of course, who knows what quirks they’re swapping around with the LOV as they prepare for war!
