Season 2 - Part 7
Note: I DO NOT own My Hero Academia or The Boys so don't report me. This is for entertainment purposes only and I hope you enjoy the chapter.
It's been a couple of days since the Sage Grove incident as the boys and Lamplighter were currently at a hideout along with Grace Mallory and Congresswoman Victoria Neuman.
Lamplighter: Look, I told you. Stormfront gave the orders, I just executed them. It was, um . . . it wasn't easy.
Victoria Neuman: Yeah, I think we can all agree that you're the real victim here. Now, let's cut the shit and go over it again. From the start.
Lamplighter: I had just left the Seven and Mr. Edgar invited me to his club.
As Lamplighter was explaining everything he knew, Izuku was in the kitchen with M.M, who was currently checking up on Hughie's stitches he got from the hospital.
Izuku: Hughie, I'm glad to see you and all, but . . . I think you should've stayed in the hospital for at least a couple more days.
Hughie: I'm fine, Izuku, trust me. I just gotta take it easy till I heal up.
Mother's Milk: Then I suggest you sit down somewhere and relax.
He says before finishing as Hughie puts his shirt down.
Izuku then turns around as he hears the footsteps of Butcher, Mallory and Tsutsumi.
Izuku: So how'd it go?
Mallory: Lamplighter will do for a witness, but he's not enough since he doesn't know the full picture of the reason behind Sage Grove. Luckily for us I know someone who might.
Izuku: Who?
Tsutsumi: Jonah Vogelbaum. Former head scientist of Vought.
Izuku: Oh. Where are Frenchie and Kimiko?
Mallory: Neuman just left and I asked them to keep an eye on her in case a supe decides to drop in before the hearing.
Izuku: That's a good idea. So what now?
Butcher: For now, Midoriya, we need you, Hughie and Nagant to stay here and watch Lamplighter while we pay Vogelbaum a visit.
Hughie: You serious? I understand why I shouldn't go. But why can't you bring Izuku or Nagant with you? Lamplighter's not that much of a threat to either of them. We don't need both of them to watch him.
Lamplighter: Hey! You guys wanna watch "Deep does it in the Blowhole"?
Hughie: No thanks.
Izuku: Still underaged!
Tsutsumi: And I literally killed him. Watching a porno of him is the last thing on my mind.
Lamplighter: Suit yourselves.
He says before continuing to watch the porno.
Butcher: It's too bad you can't watch him and not watch the porn at the same time. We'll be back.
He says before leaving with M.M and Mallory.
Some time would pass as Izuku, Hughie and Tsutsumi had no other choice but to sit in the living room with Lamplighter as he examined other supe porno flicks as the tv was playing a porno parody of Homelander.
Hughie: You know, you don't need the discs. You can just download these.
Lamplighter: So what do you wanna watch next? There's Translucent the Invisible Cock. Queen Maeve Pleasure Slave. Big Black Noir. Starlight pulls an A-Train.
Hughie: We're good! Thank you!
He says before Lamplighter lights a cigarette.
Lamplighter: Okay. I get it. Different strokes, man.
Izuku: Oh god.
He says, feeling so uncomfortable with the situation they were in.
Tsutsumi: So is this it? Is this all you're gonna be doing until the hearing? Watching porn?
Lamplighter: Look, if I go to that hearing, I'm dead anyway. What's the difference?
He says, a few seconds going by before the moaning became unbearable to Izuku as he lets out a groan and grabs the remote.
Lamplighter: Drop it or I will burn your fucking face off.
He says before Izuku slowly turns his head to face him with an angry expression on his face.
Izuku: Good luck with that.
He says, making himself heavy before pressing a button that paused the porno.
Lamplighter gets up from the sofa, readying himself to attack Izuku only for the teen to quickly smack the cigarette from his hand before headbutting him into the wall.
Tsutsumi: And Butcher said we didn't have a choice.
She said, using the remote to eject the disc as Izuku grabs the dvd cases and the disc.
Izuku: YOU DON'T GET TO CALL THE SHOTS HERE!!
He screamed, throwing the films into another wall, breaking them.
Lamplighter: FUCK YOU, KID!!! THIS MIGHT BE MY LAST DAY ON EARTH AND YOU JUST FUCKED IT ALL UP!!!
Izuku: THEN GO AHEAD AND HIT ME AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM AND SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!
He screamed before Lamplighter punches Izuku as hard as he can, screaming in pain as he ended up breaking his hand.
Lamplighter: FUCK!!!!
He screamed, groaning in pain as Izuku uses blackwhip to stretch out and grab some medical supplies.
Izuku then gets to work with Lamplighter's hand with Hughie feeling awkward while Tsutsumi couldn't give a damn about the washed up supe as she puts on the sports channel.
A couple of minutes would pass as Izuku and Lamplighter were seated back on the sofa, the teen having finished patching up his hand.
Lamplighter: . . . I wasn't supposed to be in the Seven, you know.
Izuku: What?
Lamplighter: The Seven. I wasn't supposed to join, not at first. Homelander was the one that decided who would join the team. Him, Maeve, Noir, Jack, Deep, Marathon and Endeavor.
He said, catching everyone's attention.
Izuku: Endeavor? He was going to be in the Seven?
Lamplighter: Yeah. But he rejected the offer. Back when Noir was Vought's Number One, Endeavor was rising up the ranks, wanting nothing more than to become the next Number One Hero.
He says, pausing for a moment before continuing.
Lamplighter: But then Homelander made his debut with Vought building him up to take the Number One spot. I don't think I need to tell you that Endeavor was fucking pissed for being stuck as Number Two for, what, twenty years now?
Izuku: So Endeavor declined the offer because he hates Homelander?
Lamplighter: Yup. And with Endeavor being out of the question, Homelander had no choice but to pick Vought's second best fire user . . . me.
Izuku: Oh.
Lamplighter: I was a prodigy back in the day. A fucking prodigy. I was four when I got my powers, burned my whole house down. But my dad was proud of me. "My son's a Supe." Told me I was gonna do great things. I almost did. Now look at me. All the new Supes got kickass powers. Endeavor's oldest and youngest? What does Vought need me for when those two make my powers look like fuckin' child's play? I'm like the cuck in the porn, sitting on the sidelines while the real heroes are out there doing the fucking.
He says before Tsutsumi changes the channel again to see Vought News live at a rally with Homelander and Stormfront on stage outside Vought Tower.
Homelander: This used to be a beautiful country. Remember? One nation under God. Remember?
He says, the crowd cheering as the Number 1 Hero continued.
Homelander: Right before these godless, inhuman supervillains started pouring across our borders and dragging us down into their mud.
Stormfront: And what do SJWs like Victoria Neuman want us to do? Just let 'em in and give 'em a cup of iced tea?
She says, making Homelander laugh.
Stormfront: And then punish us for trying to stop them. Has there ever been anyone in history more persecuted just for trying to protect their own? We are at war! We need more Compound V! We need more Supes!
She says, riling up the crowd as they started an uproar chanting "More Supes!" before Homelander urges them to be silent.
Homelander: Now . . . I've always been honest with you. You know that. And I got to be honest with you now. It brings me no pleasure to tell you this, but we also had a mole in the Seven.
He says, the crowd gasping in shock.
Homelander: That's right. One of our own. Starlight.
He says, the crowd talking amongst themselves of this "revelation" before he continues.
Homelander: I know, I know, it's okay. She's been apprehended and she can't hurt anyone else. Starlight has been conspiring with the people who murdered, in cold blood, my brother, the hero Translucent.
Hughie: Oh my God.
He said as he and Izuku watched the news in shock before getting up from the sofa.
Izuku: We gotta go.
Lamplighter: I bet you she's in 42D. That is, if she's still alive.
Hughie: What's 42D?
Tsutsumi: It's a level at Vought Tower using mostly supe-proof cells for any of Vought's precious assets that get out of line.
Izuku: How do we get in?
Lamplighter: You don't.
Tsutsumi: He's right. I want to help Starlight too, but we can't just break in through the front door without alerting security or the Seven.
Hughie: So is there a secret entrance inside or . . . ?
Tsutsumi: Yes, but it requires a handprint scan which I can't do.
She says before looking towards Lamplighter.
Lamplighter: No way. I'm not doing it. It's crazy.
Izuku: Please, Lamplighter, we need you.
Lamplighter: I'm not fucking going with you, okay?
Izuku: Please! Starlight is my friend! Vought threw you away like garbage, right? This can be your last chance to be hero! To show Vought what you're made of!
He says as Lamplighter was now conflicted.
Tsutsumi: So what's it going to be? You wanna be the cuck or the guy that does the fucking?
Lamplighter: . . . Okay. Okay. Let's go.
Hughie: Yeah, let's fuck the wife! . . . Consensually . . . and also Metaphorically.
He says before the four of them left the hideout and began to make their way to New York.
Some time would pass as Izuku, Tsutsumi, Hughie and Lamplighter were just outside Vought tower, making their way towards the back as Lamplighter spots the entrance.
Lamplighter: This is it. Me and Mr. Marathon used to sneak college girls in this way.
Hughie: College girls? Really?
Tsutsumi: Why am I not surprised?
Izuku: Please tell me you and Mr. Marathon made sure they were at least eighteen?
Lamplighter: Of course we fucking did, we're not idiots.
Hughie: Not sure that makes it any better.
He says before Lamplighter opens the door with everyone following inside, closing the door behind them.
It took only a couple of minutes for them as they reached an elevator.
Lamplighter: All right, moment of truth. I'm either still in the system, or we're about to be swarmed by guards with AKs.
He says before placing his hand onto the scanner. A moment went by before it makes a beep, having accepted Lamplighter's handprint.
Lamplighter: And boom, bitches!
He says before the elevator door opens.
Lamplighter: All right, let's go.
He said as the four of them entered the elevator.
Meanwhile, Teenage Kix had just arrived at Vought Tower.
Uravity: Toru, slow down!
She said as Invisible Girl was stomping her way towards the elevator, rapidly pressing the up button as her teammates caught up with her.
Creati: Toru, we shouldn't be here.
Invisible Girl: I don't care.
She said as the elevator door opened with everyone stepping inside before the door closes.
Red Riot: Can't we just talk about this first?
Lizardy: Yeah, before you do something stupid.
Invisible Girl: What's there to talk about!? We all saw the news! Starlight helped the bastards that took my dad away from me! My dad!
Ingenium: You're angry, Toru, I get it. How do you think I felt when I heard that Lady Nagant was responsible for what happened to my brother?
Invisible Girl: Unlike my dad, Tensei survived! You still have your family, Tenya! All I have left is my mom!
Vine: And what do you plan on doing, Toru?
Invisible Girl: Talk to Starlight!? Beat the shit out of her!? I don't know!
Creati: Shoto, say something.
She urged her white/red haired friend only for him to sigh.
Shoto: I honestly don't know what to say, Momo. Maybe . . . maybe Toru needs this.
Ingenium: Shoto!
Red Riot: What the hell, man!?
Lizardy: You can't be serious!
Shoto: Look, I'm not saying Toru should cause Starlight any harm. But I do think Toru deserves to have some kind of closure with her.
He says, the others arguing as Uravity puts a hand on Invisible Girl's shoulder, prompting the multicolor haired girl to look at the brunette.
Uravity: Toru . . . I know your mind's already set, I don't think this is a good idea. But I want you to know that we're all here for you. No matter what.
She said, to which Invisible Girl's anger filled face started to soften before looking away from Uravity as the elevator continued going up.
Meanwhile, Izuku and the others were walking down a hallway when the teen noticed blood on Hughie's shirt.
Izuku: Hughie, your stitches!
He said, Hughie only now taking notice of the blood.
Hughie: Ah, shit.
Izuku: I never should've let you come. What was I thinking?
Lamplighter: This is it, 42D.
He says before opening another door with his handprint as the others followed.
Lamplighter then opens a second door, Tsutsumi's eyes widening as she realized that were on the 99th floor.
They then saw Lamplighter walking off on his own as the three chased after into The Seven's meeting room.
Tsutsumi: What're you trying to pull? This isn't the 42nd floor.
Lamplighter: They moved my statue?
He said, ignoring Tsutsumi as Hughie and Izuku look at him in disbelief upon the statue of the Seven, which no longer had him.
Lamplighter: I wanted to do it in front of my statue.
Hughie: Do what?
He asked as Izuku's eyes widened, hoping Lamplighter isn't thinking what the teen was thinking while Tsutsumi knew exactly what the demoted Supe meant.
Lamplighter then turns to face the three and goes to ignite his lighter only for Izuku quickly restrain him with blackwhip, getting the lighter out of his hands.
Lamplighter: Why? . . . Why won't you just let me die? I'm done with living.
Izuku: Killing yourself isn't the answer, Lamplighter! You think dying will atone for everything you've done? It won't. You're just running away! We're getting back on the elevator and heading down to 42D. And whether you like it or not, you WILL be coming with us.
He says, pulling Lamplighter along with blackwhip as they headed back to the elevator.
Back with Teenage Kix, they had just made it to the 42nd floor, exiting the elevator as they made their way to 42D.
Unfortunately, there was an armed guard standing by the door as he noticed the teens.
Guard: Hold it. What're you doing here?
Creati: Hello. We're Teenage Kix. We, um . . . we wish to-
Invisible Girl: We need to see Starlight.
She says, cutting off her team leader.
Guard: Sorry, no can do. You don't have security clearance.
Invisible Girl: I know, but I, I mean we, need to see her. So could you maybe just give us a one time exception? No one has to know.
Guard: I can't do that, kid. I'm gonna have to ask you all to leave.
Invisible Girl: You sure there isn't any way I could change your mind?
She asked as the guard stares at her sternly, to which the heroine sighs.
Invisible Girl: In that case . . . I'm sorry.
She says before tackling the guard, ripping the gun from his hands and tossing it aside before grabbing him in a choke hold.
Uravity: Toru!
She yelled as she tried to get the invisible hero off of the guard, but due to her superhuman strength, it didn't last long as the guard fell unconscious.
Invisible Girl then opens the door only to see her teammates staring at her in shock as Creati checked up on the guard.
Creati: Toru . . . that was . . . how could you . . . ?
Invisible Girl: I'm sorry! Okay!? But he wasn't going to let us in! I tried talking our way in, but that wasn't going to cut it! What would any of you have done in my shoes!?
She yells in frustration before storming off into 42D, the rest of Teenage Kix following her.
Creati and Uravity were the left behind as they were concerned for the guard. But after a few moments, they hesitated before leaving the guard on the floor, following the rest of Teenage Kix.
Back with Izuku and the others, they had made it to the 42nd floor, making their way to 42D, knocking out any and all guards that stood in their way.
Donna: Help! Is anybody there?! Help!
Hughie: That's Annie's mom.
He says as they followed the voice to a cell door, Lamplighter using the handprint scanner to unlock the door, opening it to see Annie's mother.
Hughie: Where's Annie?
Donna: Aren't you that sweaty young man from Believe?
Hughie: Yeah. Hi, Mrs. January.
Donna: Who are you people?
Tsutsumi: They used to call me Lady Nagant.
Lamplighter: Lamplighter. Your daughter replaced me.
He says before Izuku elbows him to shut up.
Izuku: I'm Izuku Midoriya, ma'am. We never met but I'm a friend of Annie. We came to rescue you both.
Hughie: Do you know where Annie is?
Donna: No, I don't know. I was knocked out and woke up in this room.
Izuku: Then we gotta keep looking and get out of here as fast as we can.
He says as they all made their way down the hall in search of Annie.
Meanwhile, Teenage Kix were making their way throughout 42D with Invisible Girl knocking out all the guards that tried to stop them much to the team's dismay.
After making their way around a corner, the teens stopped as they were now face to face with Starlight's cell door.
Invisible Girl then approaches the door and knocks loudly on the metal, grabbing Annie's attention.
Annie: Hello? Who's there?
Invisible Girl: It's me, Starlight.
Annie: Toru? What're you doing here? How'd they let you in?
Invisible Girl: I let myself in.
Annie: That's risky, you shouldn't do that. You could be putting yourself in danger.
Invisible Girl: Shut up.
Annie: What?
Invisible Girl: I said SHUT UP you fucking traitor!!
Annie: Traitor?! What're you talking about?!
Invisible Girl: On the news, Homelander says that you were working with the bastards that killed my dad.
Annie: What?! Toru, believe me, it's all a lie! I had NOTHING to do with your father's death! They're framing me!
Invisible Girl: Why would Vought frame you!? Huh?! Why should I believe you!?
Annie: Come on, Toru! Think about all the times I worked with you and Teenage Kix! You know me! And where's the proof that I'm a traitor?! I bet you that Homelander only said that there's evidence but didn't have anything to show for it!
She says, Invisible Girl feeling conflicted on this. On one hand, Starlight has been a good friend of hers and the team. But on the other hand, there's no way that Homelander of all people would lie about something like this. Right?
It was then that Teenage Kix heard footsteps down the hall, all of them looking to see Izuku, Tsutsumi, Hughie, Lamplighter and Donna January arrive around the corner on the other side of the hall.
Creati: I recognize those people! It's the fugitives, Izuku Midoriya, Hugh Campbell, Lady Nagant and . . . Lamplighter?!
She said as Teenage Kix were shocked to see them here in Vought Tower.
Izuku: We don't want any trouble. We came to save Annie. Just let her out and we'll leave peacefully. There's no need for violence.
He says, slowly making his way towards the teenage Supes with his hands raised.
Shoto then stands in front of the team, his right and left enveloped in ice and fire, ready to protect his friends.
Tsutsumi: You should listen to him. If we fight, it won't end well.
Uravity: Guys, what do we do?
Red Riot: I don't know. We can't just let them free Starlight. But if they don't want to fight, then it'd be pretty unmanly for us to start one.
Vine: But what if Starlight really did have a hand in Translucent's death? Besides, they're criminals. Villains. They could be lying and attack us once we lower our guard.
Lizardy: Yeah. Remember what happened to Dynamight and Black Noir? Nagant and that Izuku guy put them in the hospital.
They said as Invisible Girl was silent, still conflicted on what to do in this situation.
As for Tenya Ida? The new Ingenium? Beneath his helmet he was fuming with rage as he stares at Tsutsumi. The woman who killed half of Idaten and critically injured the rest, including his older brother, Tensei.
Tenya couldn't help but clench his fists with Tsutsumi picking up on that as she looks at the armored teenage Supe.
Ingenium: Starlight isn't going anywhere.
He spoke up as everyone stopped talking.
Creati: Tenya, wait. We should think this through-
Ingenium: With all due respect, Creati, these people are criminals. As heroes, it is our duty to uphold the law. Starlight will be confined here unless she is proven innocent. And we are to arrest these villains for a multitude of crimes. Ranging from assault, murder, infiltration of Vought Tower and treason.
He says, that last part meant for Lamplighter as the demoted Supe chuckled.
Lamplighter: You really don't know shit about Vought, kid. You really think they give a flying fuck about you or your friends? I was a founding member of the Seven and they still demoted me and put me on the sidelines!
Izuku: Lamplighter, what are you doing? We don't need to fight anyone.
Lamplighter: Speak for yourself, kid. I, for one, would like to send a message to Vought. And what better way than to fuck up Endeavor Junior over there?
He says, glaring at Shoto before igniting his lighter and firing a blast only for the white/red haired teen to block it by creating a block of ice.
Unfortunately, the ice didn't last long as it began to melt.
Lizardy then splits her body apart and charges towards Lamplighter.
Hughie then gets Donna to a safe distance as Tsutsumi morphs her arm into a rifle and starts shooting at the many floating pieces that is Lizardy.
The reptile themed Supe yells in pain as many parts of her split up body was blown to bits, though some managed to hit the three Supes and slam them into the walls.
Creati: Everyone, hold the line! Don't let them near Starlight's cell!
She said as Teenage Kix readied themselves for a fight with Lizardy bringing all her pieces back together and slowly regenerating the parts that were lost.
Ingenium: Nagant is mine!
He says, charging towards Nagant and slamming straight through several walls at super speed.
Izuku: Ms. Tsutsumi!
Red Riot: Tenya, wait!
Creati: Lizardy, Vine, help Tenya! The rest of us will stay here and hold the line!
She says before the two green Supes follow Ingenium and Tsutsumi through the holes in the walls.
Izuku: Dammit, Lamplighter! What were you thinking!?
He yelled as the two Supes readied themselves against Creati, Uravity, Invisible Girl, Red Riot and Shoto Todoroki.
Back with Tsutsumi, she morphs her rifle arm back to normal before slamming her fists into Ingenium's back, knocking him to the floor.
Tsutsumi then grabs hold of him and throws him straight through a wall just moments before vines start coming in to restrain her.
Tsutsumi quickly dodges the vines, morphing her arm back into a rifle as she shoots the vines to pieces.
Vine felt every shot as she cries out in pain.
Tsutsumi was then backed into a wall before many pieces of Lizardy came flying in, slamming into Tsutsumi like a barrage of bullets.
It didn't a lot of damage however, as Tsutsumi manages to grab hold of the wall and fling across the room, destroying many of Lizardy's pieces as she yells in pain.
Tsutsumi then fires her rifle at a majority of Lizardy's pieces until all that was left was her head.
Ingenium then runs through the hole he was sent flying in, tackling Tsutsumi as he began to pummel her.
Tsutsumi then punches him in the gut, denting his armor as Ingenium gasps for air before he collapses to the floor.
Tsutsumi was about to get up only for Vine to restrain her with vines. But Tsutsumi was quick as she got out her knife and started cutting while managing to fire her rifle at Vine, hitting her in the shoulder as the green haired teen screams in pain.
Vine's pain was too great as she involuntarily released Tsutsumi, the former hero knocking her out with a single punch.
Tsutsumi then takes out a rag, tying it around Vine's bleeding shoulder making sure to tighten it before leaving.
Meanwhile, Lamplighter was shooting fire at Teenage Kix though Red Riot was shielding his teammates while using his hardening power to tank it.
Creati uses her power to create a metal staff for herself and a binding cloth for Uravity.
Shoto: Eijiro, don't move!
He says, moving to the side and launching ice at the two supes, Izuku using 55% in his fingers to create a shockwave that shattered the ice.
Creati looks towards Invisible Girl, giving her a nod, to which the daughter of Translucent turns herself invisible before removing her costume, becoming completely invisible.
Red Riot then lets out a battle cry as he goes in for the attack.
Izuku powers up to 30% before meeting Red Riot head on as their fists collided.
Red Riot goes wild on Izuku with a barrage of punches, but Izuku was able to block and dodge most attacks, applying hand to hand combat he learned from Mother's Milk within the time he spent with the boys.
Meanwhile, Lamplighter attacks Shoto with his fire though the red/white haired teen stops it by shooting a blast of his own fire.
The flames clashed for a moment before Shoto's overwhelmed Lamplighter's, prompting the demoted Supe to dodge out of the way.
Izuku's eyes widened upon seeing the flames coming towards him, he then powers up to 55%, kicking Red Riot to the floor with a loud thud before dodging the flames.
Shoto: Do you hate my father, Lamplighter?! Why?!
He yelled, to which Lamplighter scoffs.
Lamplighter: That's the dumbest fucking question I've heard all day. Did you know your daddy was originally going to be in the Seven?
Shoto: What?
Lamplighter: Figures. Endeavor fucking hates Homelander, so he'd rather fuckin' kill himself than ever end up on a team with him. So you know what happened next? Homelander chose me. The second rate fire making superhero! I was grateful for the chance, but now look where it's got me! And don't get me started with you and your brother! Vought screwed me over and I am not gonna-!
He yelled before Invisible Girl grabs and pins him to the floor, having managed to sneak up on him.
Invisible Girl: Hold still! You're under arrest!
She says before Izuku uses blackwhip on her, forcing her to release Lamplighter as he throws her into a wall.
Uravity: Toru!
She yells before a gunshot could be heard, Uravity yelling as she quickly dodged Tsutsumi's bullet.
Izuku: Ms. Tsutsumi!
He cries out, relieved to see that she's all right.
Shoto blasts the three with fire only for Lamplighter to extend his hand out, stopping it.
Everyone was shocked by this as Lamplighter now literally held Shoto's flame in his hands, compressing it into a ball of fire.
Lamplighter: Thanks.
Izuku: Wait, no!
The teen yelled as Lamplighter throws the fire ball at Shoto, the son of Endeavor quickly put up a thick wall of ice to shield himself and his teammates.
Izuku then noticed that Invisible Girl was too close to Lamplighter. Fearing for her safety, he quickly uses blackwhip to pull her out of there as the fireball caused a huge explosion.
The people outside of Vought Tower screamed as they heard and saw the explosion from 42D.
Everyone's ears were ringing as Izuku got up, holding the unconscious Invisible Girl in his arms, having shielded her from the explosion with his own body.
Izuku then blushed upon now realizing that Invisible Girl was visible and naked, screaming in a panic.
Tsutsumi: Hey! You all right, kid?!
Tsutsumi said, worried for Izuku's well being since he was closer to the explosion than she was. And also because of his scream.
Izuku: I'm fine!
He says, quickly but gently putting Invisible Girl against a wall before managing to find her discarded costume and cover her up the best he could with it like a blanket.
Meanwhile, Lamplighter had gotten up with a few burn scars across his body before looking up to see Shoto just barely able to get up.
Lamplighter furrowed his now burnt off eyebrows before lunging towards Shoto, pinning him to the floor with his hands around the teen's throat.
Lamplighter: Look at you. Hardly a scratch on ya. Just like your daddy. If I can't kill you, I'll have to give Vought some kind of message.
He says before a wicked idea came to mind.
He then releases one hand from Shoto's throat before placing it onto the left side of the teen's face.
Shoto tried to fight him off, but was hurt and his head still spinning from the explosion as Lamplighter used the surrounded flames of the explosion to burn Shoto's face.
It didn't do much at first, but after several seconds, it started to singe.
Shoto grunted in pain as Izuku noticed this.
Izuku: Lamplighter! What are you doing?!
He asks before heading Shoto scream in pain as the flames increased in temperature.
Izuku: Lamplighter! Stop!
He says, running towards the demoted supe, removing his hand from the teen's face as the young Todoroki's left side was burnt.
Lamplighter: Don't you fucking ruin this for me, kid!
He yelled before Shoto's eyes shit wide open, his left side igniting in an inferno before grabbing Lamplighter by the face.
Out of pure anger and hatred, he instantly burned Lamplighter's face, his orange flames turning blue with Lamplighter screaming in agony for a few seconds before being burnt to ash.
Izuku was in shock as he stood there frozen, unable to move a muscle as Shoto's eyes calmed down before turning into horror upon realizing what he had done.
Shoto: No . . . I . . . I didn't mean to . . .
He says before Tsutsumi came over and knocked him out, the flames ceasing as he fell unconscious to the floor.
Creati: Shoto!
She said while getting back up along with Uravity.
Red Riot was also getting back up, his hardened skin cracked and bleeding from Izuku's power, though he still had some fight left in him.
Red Riot: You're tough, but we aren't finished yet!
He says, charging towards Izuku as the green haired teen kicks him across the head at 30%, knocking him into the wall.
This unfortunately made Red Riot's condition worse as more cracks appeared on his hardened skin as the teen was starting to lose too much blood.
Izuku: Crap!
He says, taking out several bandages as he quickly worked on saving Red Riot's life.
Red Riot: You're helping me . . . even though you're a villain? . . . That's super manly.
He says with a smile before falling unconscious from the blood loss as Izuku did his best for the red haired teen.
While that was going on, Tsutsumi was in face off with Creati and Uravity, the two teens looking rather nervous.
Tsutsumi: Stay down. You don't have a chance against us.
She said as Hughie and Donna went the long way around as they sneakily approached Annie's cell door with a fire axe in hand.
Hughie wasn't sure what to do until Tsutsumi gave him a look.
Now knowing what to do, he swings the axe down onto the cell door with a loud bang, catching the teens by surprise.
This then gave Tsutsumi the opportunity to morph her arm into a rifle, shooting bith Creati and Uravity in a leg each, making sure not to cause any permanent damage.
The teens screamed in pain as they fell to the floor before turning back to see Tsutsumi charging towards them.
Creati quickly swings her metal staff while Uravity aims to make the former supe weightless with a swipe of her hand only for Tsutsumi to knock them out in quick succession.
Hughie: Oh thank God I didn't fuck that up.
He says, dropping the fire axe before Izuku and Tsutsumi came over, the green haired teen using his super strength to rip the cell door open.
Annie: Izuku! Hughie?! Nagant?! And mom?!Jesus christ! I heard the explosion, I was worried you were all dead!
She said, giving everyone a hug before noticing Ingenium running towards them, grabbing Tsutsumi and pinning her to the wall.
Everyone was shocked by this as Izuku was ready to help only for Tsutsumi to slam both her fists onto his back, the teen hitting the floor with a loud thud.
Tsutsumi: Stay down.
Ingenium: N-Never! Not until I . . . make you pay!
Tsutsumi: This is about what I did to your brother, isn't it?
Ingenium: My big brother, Tensei . . . the damage you did to his legs . . . he had to get one amputated! He is to be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life because if you! Because of you . . . he can no longer work as a hero!
He says before removing his helmet, staring up at Tsutsumi with tears in his anger filled eyes.
Tenya: I now hold the name Ingenium in my brother's honor! He practically begged me to take his mantle! And I refuse . . . to let criminal scum like you walk away like nothing happened!
He said, Tsutsumi's once stoic face now changed to that of pity and regret.
Tsutsumi: I'm sorry.
Tenya: You don't get to be sorry after what you did!
Tsutsumi: I know. I know you don't want to hear it. But you deserve it. I am sorry.
She says genuinely and Tenya could tell, his angry expression softening as he looked into her eyes.
The group then began to walk away, moving past the unconscious Teenage Kix and Lamplighter's ashes only for Annie to get grabbed by Toru Hagakure, holding her in a chokehold.
Donna: Annie!
Izuku: Let her go!
Toru: No sudden movements!!
Tsutsumi: Don't do anything you'll regret, kid.
Toru: I regret many things, like befriending this bitch!
She said, tightening her grip on Annie's neck.
Toru: Any of you take another step and I'll snap her neck!! So stay back!!
Donna: Please, let my daughter go! What did she ever do to you?!
Toru: What did she do? What did she do!? She had a part in Translucent's death!! My dad!! Was he the perfect dad!? No, but who the hell is!? But he was my daddy!! He always made time for me even after he and mom divorced!! I loved him! And now he's gone! All because of her!!
She screamed as tears streamed down her face.
Hughie: Annie had nothing to do with your dad's death, Toru! I did!
He said, slowly stepping towards them and away from the group as Toru looked at him with confusion.
Toru: . . . What?
Izuku: Hughie, don't.
Hughie: I'm the one that killed your dad, Toru. Annie had no idea about it. So if you wanna kill someone, then kill me. At the time . . . I had no idea that killing him would mean I'd be taking him away from you. I'm no different from the asshole that killed my girlfriend.
He said as Toru stares at him in shock.
Toru: . . . You?
She says with a crack in her voice, not wanting to believe that a scrawny guy like this could kill her father. A member of the Seven. And yet, she could tell that he was serious, telling the truth, just by looking into his eyes.
Toru then lets go of Annie, seething in rage as she glares at Hughie.
Toru: You!!!
She screamed, lunging towards Hughie only for Izuku to catch her fist and use his free hand to knock her out.
Donna: Annie! Annie, sweetie! I'm here!
She said, checking up on her daughter as Hughie helped her up.
Izuku: Let's get out of here.
He said as they quickly made their way out of the tower before the authorities could arrive.
