“Are you really a hero Ochako-chan?” The brunette has the blonde pinned down and sits on top of her, a razor sharp rock above her head ready to be thrown down. Ochako grits her teeth and stares down Toga through the broken glass of her helmet, a scar brought upon by Toga’s knife, now shattered and tossed to the side.
“It didn’t have to be like this, Toga.” The blood drinking teen’s face drops at these words, and her eyebrows furrow as she realizes the fault in the hero’s statement.
“Oh but it did Chako-Chan. To you, i’m nothing but a /villain/“ she responds, venom dousing the last word. “And you? Well sweet precious Ochako... Ochako-chan is a /hero/.” Toga shudders in the last sentence, and Ochako pressed down on her harder, earning a wince from the girl below her.
“I /am/ a hero!” She yells, pulling her arms and the rock further back, winding up for one final attack. “I am a hero that saves people!”
Toga’s expression completely blanks as she looks with wide eyes at the attacker on top of her, her lips parting slightly in shock, and in /relief/. Burning tears well up in her eyes, and for the first time since she can remember, she finally feels at peace. Smiling sweetly, tears stream down her face and wetting the ground below them. Slowly lifting her hands, she cups Ochako’s face. The hero doesn’t even flinch, knowing that there was nothing the blonde could do to her.
“Thank you for answering my question.”
Ochako’s face quickly shifts to that on confusion, but only for a second as it immediately goes back to one of seriousness.
“What question?”
Toga giggles softly as she begins to rub circles into the cheeks of the hero, admiring her crush, her /hero/.
“Heroes save people. And that’s what i’ve always admired of them. But that means, I’m not a person then!”
Beads of sweat fall down from Ochako’s forehead as she harshly bites the inside of her cheek, not wanting to put any more thought into what she was about to do.
“But I guess killing people isn’t wrong if you’re a hero. Isn’t that right, Ochako-chan”
The hero shuts her eyes forcefully, grimacing as she lets out a shriek of pure agony, and rage. Directed toward the world, towards the people /to the damn hero society/.
The scream rang out and echoed, and was silenced at once with an even louder crash, a deafening silence drowned the world out.
A hero fallen into despair is nothing but another villain.
