A Waterbending Quirk

The Power Within

Watching the press conference on the TV screen, Tomura couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the reporters hounding the teachers on the podium. To see these heroes being treated the way they deserved brought a wave of pleasure to him as he smiled back towards the two teens locked up in the room. "Isn't it so obvious to see now? These people who worship you heroes will turn on you the moment things don't go their way. Why not accept true freedom and just do what you want instead?"

While both teens sat silent, Tomura glanced down to the restraints on their bodies and sighed. "go on and remove their restraints now."

"What?" Compress looked over at him in confusion. "But sir, what if-

"They're our guests. It's very rude if we don't treat them as our equals." Tomura cut him off. "If we want them to understand us, then we shouldn't treat them any different."

While he was very hesitant, Compress gave a small nod and walked over towards the two teens. While keeping an eye on them, he quickly unlocked the cuffs holding Tokoyami first. The bird teens eyes did widen in surprise, not expecting them to actually unlock them. Seeing he didn't attack, Compress turned his attention to the one he was most curious with, the explosion user sitting there in silence staring up at him. Swallowing the small lump he felt, Compress went on unlocking the multiple restraints on him as well.

"Now I hope you can forgive us for the initial treatment," Tomura said as he watched Bakugo rub his now freed wrists. "We weren't sure what you might have tried at first. But now it seems we can have a civil-

"DIE!"

Tomura's words were cut off as Bakugo launched himself forward and launched a blast into face. The others in the room all gasped in surprise by the bright flash engulfing the leaders head. Tokoyami also felt his mouth fall open in shock, not expecting the sudden attack coming from his classmate. Even more surprising was in his movement, Bakugo had kicked over the spotlights as well.

"Don't just sit there, idiot! Use that damn shadow!" Bakugo yelled out as he jumped back from the villains.

While completely taken aback by the action, Tokoyami gave a quick nod and glared forward. "Dark shadow, come out!" he ordered, his quirk emerging outward and readying its claws.

"Shigaraki!"Kurogiri gasped in shock as he watched the smoke rise from his leaders face.

"What the hell?!" Compress snapped at the teens he had just freed.

Bakugo smirked as he watched the smoke cleared from Tomura's head, revealing the hand on his face had fallen off from the blast. "You stupid villains think we are just gonna join you idiots? Why, because feathers here looks dark and I don't play nice? You can shove that invite right up your ass. I'm going to be the number one hero the way I want to be."

The other villains all quickly stood up as they eyed the two kids, Muscular grinning as his good arm became engorged in muscle fibers. "I knew we should have broken their legs. Makes it easier to keep them from running away."

"That is way too excessive!" Twice scolded the muscle man before turning and analyzing the idea. "But quite effective!"

"All of you shut it..." Tomura quietly ordered as he bent down and picked the hand back off the ground. "None of you touch him."

"Aw just a little taste!" Toga snickered and licked her lips as she tightened her grip on her knife.

Tokoyami glared as the others all came closer, his eyes darting to the one door on the right for a possible escape. "If we try and fight we will be outmatched. We have to somehow get out of here."

"No shit, feathers," Bakugo sneered and sparked his hands up more. He had hoped to knock out the leader with the blast, but it seemed he didn't gather as much sweat as he had hoped in his palms. The cool air of the bar was making it difficult as it was, and he was hoping to save some for his escape. 'Shit, I have no idea if this wall is small or not. If it's too thick to break, then It'll take too much time to do anything and-
