Determined [Tsuyu Asui X Fem! Reader]

Chapter Nine

Tsuyu and a group of her friends dashed through the trees to get away from the psychotic girl. It was exhausting, especially because of Midoriya's physical injuries and Tokoyami's quirk. The flaming forest and pink poisonous gas wasn't helping either.

Finally, once the girl stopped chasing them, they collected near a path where no villains would be and did a head count. Todoroki, Midoriya, Uraraka, Bakugou, Shoji, and Tokoyami. Everyone was there and safe. Now, they just had to figure out a way to find their way back to the main building.

Suddenly, a heaving girl with bright, flashy pink hair pushed through the underbrush and stumbled forwards, clearly delusional. Tsuyu recognized her from the entrance exam, except it appeared that she dyed her hair and was wearing two different-colored contacts to presumably hide her identity. She jumped and blocked her face to defend herself. Tsuyu had heard of her - she was a new villain, rumored to have been forced into the role. They were calling her Splash, if Tsuyu remembered correctly.

"Please don't hurt me! I wanted to see if I could help anyone nearby." She squeaked, lowering her arms away from her face. Uraraka was prepared to fight, as well as the others in the group. But Tsuyu wasn't thinking about battle. She believed that this girl had genuine concerns and compassion. Tsuyu eyed her, but she kept a straight face.

"You," She shouted, pointing at Midoriya, who was almost about to pass out and was snapped awake by her shout. "Don't fall asleep. If you don't mind, will you set him down? I can heal him."

Shoji glared at her suspiciously, testing her to see if she'd flinch if she was lying. To Tsuyu's relief, she saluted and kept a sincere expression of care. Bakugou was visibly upset that he didn't get to beat her up, though.

Midoriya was laid on the ground, and the pink-haired girl knelt onto the ground. Uraraka and Todoroki were in battle stance, prepared to knock her out or immobilize her if she tried anything. The mysterious girl drew in a deep breath and told Midoriya to close his eyes if he wanted to heal better. She rested her palm on his forehead, and small green-blue orbs of light swirled around them as Midoriya's injuries seemed to disappear. His bruises faded, his broken bones set, and every scratch melded. Midoriya, completely healed, sat up, giving the girl a grateful glance.

Then, the girl began to cough. Her coughing quickly escalated into a hacking fit. She covered her mouth, trying to cover something up, but a red liquid was dripping down her chin and hands. The pink-haired girl collapsed, still in her coughing fit. It was a pitiful sight. No one had any idea what to do. She eventually stopped coughing, and closed her eyes as she passed out, hands at her sides and covered in her own blood.

"What just happened?" Midoriya asked, kneeling down to inspect the girl's face, which was covered in her blood from the mouth and eyes down.

"It appears that she overused her quirk when she was healing you. I didn't know that she had a healing part to her quirk. She only showed the water on television." Todoroki responded, inactivating his quirk and joining Midoriya in the hand inspection.

"Well, she technically is a criminal, even though she's never killed any of us, civilians, or heroes. We could just wait for the police to arrive and hand her over." Shoji suggested.

Uraraka was the one to speak this time. "But she'd wake up by then. And she didn't attempt to kill us, she even cowered in fear of us. We could just find Mr. Aizawa and give her to him." She turned to Tsuyu. "Any thoughts, Tsu?"

"I think we should give her to the nearest authority figure. Mr. Aizawa should know who she is, I remember her from the entrance exam. She saved me multiple times." Tsuyu explained, observing the faces of her friends. Uraraka and Midoriya seemed surprised. Todoroki and Shoji had poker faces. Bakugou, though just looked like he wanted to fight. "I can carry her there. I assume that they'll want any captured villains to be handed over to the police."

Shoji shot her a look. "I can carry her there. Since Midoriya is healed, he can walk himself and honestly, you don't look very strong."

"I can do it myself." Tsuyu replied, annoyed at Shoji's belittling statement. "Uraraka, can you come with me? I don't really want to go in the forest alone."

The brunette nodded with a smile.

"Everyone, stay safe." Tsuyu said before scooping the limp teenager into her arms and running into the woods, Uraraka not far behind.

Somehow, they managed to get back to the main camp without running into anymore villains. Aizawa was standing at the front of the camp, preventing any other villains from getting inside. He noticed Tsuyu and Uraraka and waved them over.

"Who is this?" He asked, looking at the fainted girl in Tsuyu's arms. Tsuyu sighed and began to explain while Aizawa listened carefully.

"I see." Aizawa nodded. "When the police arrive, hand get over and the teachers, as well as myself, will interview her."

It didn't take long. Tsu and Uraraka did as Aizawa told and they all went to their respective homes, but when Tsu went to bed that night, she couldn't get that girl out of her head.
