A Shattering Touch - Tomura Shigaraki X Reader

Chapter Thirty-Two - Y/N

Power is neither

good nor evil,

but its user makes it so.  -Erin Hunter

My skin was burning off and regenerating so quickly, that all of my injuries from Hawks were gone. I could still feel the pain, deep down, but I was in a completely different state of mind at this point, so all I felt was a vague warmth.

Having this much power felt like having the whole world in my hands. I was used to being stronger than most from having multiple quirks to begin with, but being able to use Tenko's new powers like this gave me the ability to practically do anything I wanted. Endeavor was screaming into his earpiece that there were two of us, and that anyone who could fight without touching the ground needed to help him out, but we charged him before he could completely finish his sentence.

"Meet ya at the kid." I called, propelling myself into the air and fighting through the wall of fire while Endeavor was distracted. My stomach dropped at the feeling of practically flying through the air, and the beaming light ahead of me wasn't moving further away. It was getting closer.

Something slammed into me, stopping me dead from how I was flying, and it felt like I hit a brick wall. I felt the sting of burns and my ears were ringing at the close proximity of the explosion.

"I don't know what the hell you think you're doing!"

Katsuki Bakugo was in the air in front of me, holding himself up with his explosions. His expression was twisted with anger. I couldn't help but grin.

"Hey, kiddo. It's been a minute." I gripped the front of his shirt, slamming my knee into his stomach. I could've decayed him right there if I wanted to, but y'all know that I don't do that. "But I'm not in the mood to deal with you right now."

He went flying backwards, but used an explosion to flip himself around, tackling me in midair once again.

"I know what you're after. And it's not gonna happen." He growled. I gasped mockingly, rolling my eyes.

"One for All. Shigaraki wants it." I used Rivet Stab, which came shooting out of my fingertips, to pierce Bakugo's shoulder. He yelled out in pain, and I ripped it out, slamming my boot into his face. As he fell a few feet, he grabbed my ankle and yanked me down with him, a huge explosion nailing me directly in the face. My vision doubled briefly and while I was stunned, he aimed for me, tugging the pin out of one of his gauntlets.

"More quirks for you too?! I'm gonna hit you hard enough that you just barely live! That way we can get the information out of ya!"

A huge explosion completely blinded me, and probably would've brought me to the brink of death just as he suggested it would if I wasn't so high on all this power. I felt the pain and ignored it as it passed and my body regenerated and re-energized itself. I was refusing to fail. My mind was set on Izuku Midoriya.

"That was cute." I giggled. Bakugo stared back at me, wide eyed. His lip curled up in disdain, and I couldn't help but laugh even further. "I don't know why you even know about One For All, but frankly I don't really care. I have no intention of hurting your friend, but I can't say the same about Tomura."

"I don't give a fuck what your boyfriend wants. And I don't care what you want, either. You're not getting anywhere near One For All."

"Alright." I cracked my neck to the side, rolling my shoulders back. "I warned you." Rivet Stab came splintering out of my spine and the bones of my hands, but I barely felt the pain. "What if I try bringing you to near death this time?"
