Chapter Text
RECAP! : For those who didn't read the first book if you wanna read it it's called Tortured.
Basically, Bakugou was kidnapped by the villains. You know, like in the anime, but in this fic, he was with the Villains for two weeks, and during that time, the Villains put this stuff on Bakugou's hands which took away his quirk. Bakugou becomes friends with a girl, Mizuki, who was also a prisoner, and her quirk was something like Necromancy, she could make the dead appear on Earth, as well as let them use their quirks on the living.
Anyways, Bakugou and Mizuki become close friends, they were both beaten, starved, and bribed to join the League, Mizuki kicked the bucket. And Bakugou was left alone with the League, he is sad :( but still refuses to join the Villains, which bothers Shigaraki, so as a last resort they hire some guy to make an illusion of the dead bodies of the people that Bakugou cared about.
Surprise! Those people were his family and class, and a couple other random heroes, to make Bakugou think that they were all on a mission to rescue him. Bakugou believes it, and becomes depressed. In fact he becomes so saddened that he wants to die, because he thinks that there is no one on Earth who would ever accept him because he thinks it's his fault that all of those people are dead.
BUT THEN! As he really is about to die, Mizuki somehow appears and saves him as the entire building they're in starts to come down on them. Bakugou passes out. Apparently the heroes really did come!
They dig through the rubble and find Bakugou and the corpse of Mizuki all safe and sound, but they don't know who she is. Bakugou's taken to the hospital, and Mizuki is taken to where ever police put the dead bodies they find.
Bakugou's class and family are all worried for him. A few days pass, and he wakes up, he freaks out though cuz he thinks that he deserved to die and that the villains could still be out there.
Injection! they put him to sleep because he has a panic attack. His family and friends arrive later to see him, and when he wakes up he starts to sob, cuz he thought they were all dead and was never able to apologize to Deku for the bullying.
The whole class notices that Bakugou has become a big softy, they love him either way though. Days pass and Bakugou is released from the hospital and Mizuki appears to him at night, cuz apparently she can use her quirk on herself even though she's dead. A tearful reunion, and finally, Bakugou is released from the hospital, but he still has no quirk. the whole class prepares a big feast for him, and they all have a grand time... Stay tuned to find out what happens next, or whatever.
The day after Kacchan was out of the hospital, Aizawa called him over to the school. Bakugou could already tell what this was going to be about. He walked over to the school and when he arrived, Aizawa, Nezu, and Detective Naomasa were there waiting for him. Nezu smiled at him, "Take a seat Bakugou.", he did as he was told, they were just staring at him silently as he came in and it made Bakugou nervous.
"So, what did you want to say?", he asked now sitting down. Nezu cleared his throat, "I have been informed by your teacher and this detective here, that you are prevented from using your quirk. Is that true?", he asked gently.
Bakugou nodded, "Yes. The stuff on my hands is what prevents me from using it.", Nezu nodded, "So I've been told... Bakugou, you do realize what happens if you can't get your quirk back, right", he asked. At this, Bakugou's heart sank, he looked at Nezu in the eye as he spoke, "I can't become a hero?", he asked. Nezu nodded. 'Huh... so this is it I guess. There go all my hopes and dreams in the garbage... f***!', he thought. Though he was yelling and screaming and angry on the inside, he kept calm on the outside.
"I see.", Bakugou wanted to punch himself as the three men sent him looks pity. He didn't mean to sound so weak or broken. F*** no! If anything, he should've said it with firmness to show that this didn't bother him. It really didn't. Not even a little bit. Oh great, now he just sounded pathetic, and Bakugou wasn't pathetic.
"Please don't give up hope Bakugou! We're already looking for someone with a reverse quirk to get you your quirk back.", the detective said. Aizawa nodded, "It might take a few days, but don't worry we'll make sure that you get your quirk back, I promise.", he said looking Bakugou in the eye.
Bakugou felt relieved at hearing this, "Alright.", he replied, "So for now...", Aizawa nodded, "For now we wait. We asked you to come here just to inform you of this.", he said.
Bakugou sighed, "Alright then, Is that it?", he asked. The three men looked at each other, The detective spoke up, "Eat a lot, kid. You look like you could do with more weight.", he said smiling. Bakugou rolled his eyes, "Yeah, whatever. Anything else?", Detective Naomasa looked at Aizawa who only shook his head, "Nope! That's it. You can go back to the dorms now.", the detective said. Bakugou nodded, "Thanks then, I guess.", he got up and left.
When Bakugou was gone, Nezu looked at Aizawa and the detective, "That kid seems quite calm, don't you think?", he said to the two. Aizawa nodded, "Indeed. It's almost frightening.", he replied. The detective looked at them, "But he's still got sass.", he stated. At this, everyone agreed.
Bakugou arrived at the dorms, it was a Sunday, so everyone was still there. "Bakugou! Ayeee! Wassup man? How'd it go with Aizawa?", Sero exclaimed. Deku was in the kitchen, "Hi Kacchan!!", he said happily, Uraraka smiled and waved from the table she was at.
Kacchan, rolled his eyes, "It was fine. He just wanted to talk about the stuff on my hands.", he said replying to Sero's question.
Everyone who was present there looked over, "So what is it?", Tokoyami asked. Bakugou sighed, "I'm not really sure. But it doesn't allow me to use my quirk anymore.", everyone froze. Bakugou noticed the tension in the room. "Don't worry about it though, the Detective that was there with us said that they're already looking for someone with a reverse quirk to undo this. I'll get my quirk back soon.", he said.
This seemed to make everyone more worried, "Wait, so you don't have your quirk?!", Deku yelled as he ran from the kitchen to Kacchan. Kacchan groaned, 'Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.', he thought. As his class started to fuss over him.
He finally got away from his class and escaped to his room. "Your friends seem very nice."
Kacchan looked up from his bed, "Hey Mizuki.", he said. "Hello Sir Kacchan, I saw what happened with the principal and the detective... you know I could look for a ghost with a reverse quirk if you want.", Mizuki said
Kacchan shook his head, "Nah, I trust the detective. I trust you too, but I want to see if they can find someone first. Thanks though. We just gotta wait a few days", Mizuki nodded, "hm.", she replied. "Just a few days."
a few days later:
It was Tuesday, and Aizawa had him called back to the office. They had found someone. Bakugou had entered Nezu's office, the same detective was there, and so was Aizawa and Nezu of course. The new person there must have been the one with the reverse quirk though she looked kind of young. "Hello.", Bakugou said politely.
Aizawa, walked over to Bakugou, "Bakugou, this is Yon Himari. She is going to be attempting to use her quirk to give you back yours.", he said. Yon smiled nervously to Bakugou, "Hello Bakugou, nice to meet you.", she said. "Nice to meet you.", he said.
Detective Naomasa stood up, "I'll be here to supervise.", he said. Bakugou nodded. Yon looked at him, "You ready?", he took a deep breath, "Yeah".
"Okay. Take a seat.", she said, Bakugou was confused but did as she said. "Put your hands out.", he took his hands out of his pockets. Yon held his hands and her own hands and eyes began to glow.
Bakugou could feel himself become sweaty as his hands began to glow too. But with the glow, came pain, "Ah.", the pain grew and grew, it became too great, "AAAAAGGHHHH!!", Bakugou yelled out in agony as he hunched over. So that's why she told him to sit down. "Bakugou!", Aizawa yelled frantically.
"He's fine! It's part of the process!", Yon shouted. Bakugou's yelling stopped and he was left panting
Yon's hands and eyes stopped glowing. Aizawa, Naomasa, and Nezu stared at Bakugou, "Look at his hands!", Naomasa exclaimed. The stuff on Bakugou's hands was fading away, and then, it was entirely gone.
Aizawa went to Bakugou's side. "Bakugou. Are you okay?", he asked. Bakugou looked at him, he lifted his hands into a position, and, *BAM*, The four adults smiled. "Your quirk's back!", Yon exclaimed, Aizawa, Nezu, and Naomasa thanked her for her services. Bakugou looked at her, he stood up and bowed to her, "Thank you.", he said.
Yon grinned, "No problem!", she said. Aizawa, Naomasa and Nezu discussed a few things, Yon and Bakugou were excused to go to recovery girl's office. On his way there, Bakugou took note of two things.
One, his quirk was back, meaning he could continue his path to becoming a hero. And two... he felt angry, and had no idea why. Bakugou was able to return to his classes. To his class, his aggressiveness just seemed like he was back to normal. They thought, maybe he finally got comfortable enough to act like himself again? They didn't think much of it.
Mizuki had seen what went on at Principal Nezu's office, something about the whole reverse thing changed Kacchan. And to Kacchan, he had completely forgotten the downside of his quirk: The ability to be completely calm. He had to explain that to Mizuki. Though to her, it made no sense and honestly it didn't make much sense to Kacchan either.
Days passed, Mizuki was kept a secret from Kacchan's class. Though he promised Mizuki to properly introduce her to his class when the time seemed right. Mizuki of course agreed, she wanted her introduction to be as dramatic as possible. So she waited patiently.
Kacchan gained his muscle back as he continuously exercised and ate healthy. His class made sure he didn't skip a meal, and All might and Deku would ask him to join them in their training. He worked extra hard to get good grades and to be on top of his class. He needed to be better, if the League were to ever come back, he needed to be ready. Toga still hasn't been found.
Weeks passed, and everyone was normal again. Two months passed since the incident, and everyone had basically forgotten about it, except for Kacchan and Mizuki of course. That incident had scarred them for life.
Mizuki was currently trying to braid Kacchan's hair. "Your hair is not letting braid it.", she said as she huffed, Kacchan rolled his eyes, "Try asking it nicely then.", he replied, Mizuki groaned. "You're so meeeaaannnn." she said, "M-E-A-N. Mean.", she continued.
Kacchan looked at her, "I thought you were thirteen. You act like you're five.", he said smirking. Mizuki chuckled, "Actually I'm almost fourteen. And besides, technically we're still kids, you know.", she said simply. "Oh really? I couldn't even tell.", he said as he began to stand up.
"Where are you going?", she asked. Kacchan scoffed, "That damn idiot Deku got hurt during training. Imma go see if he's still alive.", he said as he grabbed a bag he had on his desk. Mizuki stood up grinning.
"Because, YoU cARe aBOuT hiM!", she said in a funny voice as she disappeared from his view. Kacchan only rolled his eyes and left his room. He could feel cold air around him even though it was a hot day, so he knew Mizuki was still there. As he passed the halls, he could feel people staring at him. Some were staring with confusion and anxiety, and others looked hateful. Kacchan said nothing to them as he passed by,
'What's up with them?', he thought. Actually, now that Bakugou was looking around, everyone was looking at him like that. He entered the common room. Deku was there, and so was Uraraka, Iida, Kirishima, Mina, Kaminari... everyone else was entering the common room too, and they were all looking at Bakugou.
"Kacchan!", Deku called out, he seemed guilty. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, it's just, I was delirious because of the pain, and then-", Uraraka cut him off, "Izuku, it's fine. You're not the one who's guilty here.", she said glaring at Kacchan. Everyone looked at him accusingly, Bakugou's heart sank, 'It's finally happened', he thought as Kirishima spoke up.
"Is it true?", he asked. The looks on their faces said it all, they knew about Bakugou and Deku's middle school years. Bakugou glared back at them, "Is what true?", he asked as cold air wrapped around him.
"Midoriya says you bullied him in middle school.", Shoji said, "Is that true?", he continued. Deku went in front of Kacchan trying to defend him, "Guys! That was at least year ago! Can't you just-", Bakugou cut him off this time, "But it's true.", he stated.
Everyone looked furious. "So that explains why you're always so mean. Because you're a villain.", Uraraka said with hatred. Bakugou stiffened, Deku still tried to defend, "Uraraka, that's not true! How could you guys say that?! Isn't he your friend?!", he yelled.
It sickened Bakugou that Deku was trying to defend him, when it was clear that Bakugou was guilty here... everything they are saying is true. "No, he isn't.", Kirishima said glaring at Bakugou.
But it sickened him even more that his classmates could be such traitors. Sure, he used to be a bully, but he had changed now... hadn't he? He could feel the cold air moving around him. Mizuki didn't seem happy.
Deku stared at Bakugou, tears in his eyes, "Kacchan, tell them. You're not a bad guy.", he said desperately. Deku felt like his world was falling apart right now. His best friend since childhood, was being accused of being a villain when it was obvious that he had changed. Can't the others realize that?
Bakugou glared a Deku, "But they aren't wrong. I told you to go f****** kill yourself. Are you trying to say that isn't bad?", he said. Deku stumbled back a little, Uraraka ran to his side, "Leave him alone, Bakugou.", she said. "Leave everyone alone while you're at it. We don't want to be with a villain.", Kaminari said.
Bakugou felt his heart drop. "Fine by me.", he said as he flipped them off while turning his back on them to go back to his room.
'I'm fine. I don't need them and they don't need me.', he thought as he arrived to his room. 'I'm not a villain. They. are. wrong.', he thought as tears came to his eyes. He fell onto his bed, 'I can do anything without their help. F*** them, if they think that this can hurt me.', he thought as Mizuki appeared at his side.
She looked upset, angry, and like she wanted to go commit a murder, "Are... are you okay?", she asked cautiously. Bakugou looked at her, he looked insane, "I'm f****** fine."
