It was supposed to be a completely normal day. You had the rare luxury of a break from hero work, your sidekicks handling missions in your absence. It was a very hot day so you wore a tank top and shorts to beat the weather. At that moment, you were in a convenience store, grabbing a cold drink to cool off. After paying, you started to walk away, but a sharp click stopped you in your tracks.

Slowly, you raised your hands and turned to face the source of the sound—a thug with a gun aimed directly at your head. His glare was ice-cold as he demanded your money and phone. You refused, standing firm, even as his finger tightened on the trigger. His threats grew more insistent, and when you still didn't comply, he prepared to shoot. Time seemed to slow as the trigger began to depress.

Then, a loud explosion erupted, the fiery blast sending the thug reeling. Before you could process what happened, Bakugo stormed in, tackling the man and cuffing him. As he turned to you, his fiery gaze met yours. "How many times have I saved your ass now, huh?" he barked, smirking.
