29: Aftermath

⟐Todoroki's POV⟐

Todoroki and Ya-Momo raced away from the fighting. "We need to find somewhere to hide while the others escape with Bakugou," Momo huffed as she turned left in the maze-like allies. "Our best bet would be—" she was cut off by a sudden crash from one of the buildings in front of them. Clouds of dust floated around us from the impact. I quickly moved, my right side already covered in ice as I pulled Ya-Momo behind me. 

From the rubble, I noticed a stark contrast of white against the rocks. Slowly I inched forward, my breath hitched as I instantly recognized who exactly was buried in the rubble. "Y/n!?" Momo whispered, a hand over her mouth. You were half-buried in the rocks blood trickled from your forehead. Everywhere they looked all they could see was your crimson blood. "Where is all this blood com—" Momo cut herself when she realized. Todoroki's face twisted in shock when he too realized you had a pipe jutting from your neck. Blood pouring from your neck and mouth.

"No..." Todoroki slumped to the ground, his legs giving way when the realization hit him.

You were dead.

It was like someone had ripped his heart out. In its place was nothing but suffocating emptiness. He felt tears threatening to fall, for the first time he felt powerless. Especially now that you—the one person that shined any light in his crumbling world—was gone, he couldn't hold them back. He cried out as his tears fell in a never ending stream. He wept for you, the one person who put a smile on his face without even realizing it.

Then it hit him, why he couldn't take his eyes off you. Whenever you weren't by his side, he would be thinking of you—wanting you there with him. Why he gets flustered at the slightest brush of your skin against his. Why he enjoyed every little thing about you. I'm...he dragged his fingers through his hair, a chuckle escaped his lips. But it sounded broken, "I've fallen for you...Y/n." He slowly looked at your still body, tears running down his cheeks. He clutched your lifeless hand in his. "So please," he whispered, his head bowing over you. "PLEASE GET UP!"

Y/n's fingers twitched, causing Todoroki to snap his head up in shock. I watched as her eyes slowly opened. Dull crimson and cerulean irises shifted their gaze to me. "Y/n?" I whispered. Wait first I need to get these off her, I thought, turning my attention to the rubble. "Ya-Momo create anything that can help her," I ordered as I carefully started to move the rocks.

"Sho...to."

"Don't try speaking you need to save your energy!" I barked, as I glared at her worriedly.

The circuit, Y/n's voice sounded in my head. Get the circuit off before— She suddenly stopped, "Y/n? Hey Y/n—" I was cut off by a chuckle. A sudden force knocked the rubble off, sending me and Momo flying too. Quickly getting up I noticed that Momo had injured her head—blood already trickling from the wound. I watched as Y/n got up and pulled the pipe out of her throat. The wound immediately closing up, the bleeding from her forehead also stopped.

I flinched as she slowly turned to us, her crimson ores glowing as she smirked. "My oh my~ if it isn't the son of Endeavor, fancy meeting you here," she cooed.

"Todoroki...that's not Y/n anymore she's being controlled by a demon named Signora," Momo informed. My eyes narrowed as I turned to her, then the circuit is what I need to destroy. Dropping low I sent a barrage of ice from my foot. The demon easily dodged and slashed the air. Almost immediately spear-like ice rained down on us, I gritted my teeth. Since when does Y/n have an ice quirk? Raising my left hand I created a firewall, the ice spears melting on impact. I directing a jet at her while she was still in midair.
