Hearing the voice of someone unfamiliar, the girl forced her eyes open, holding back the coughs as best she could. [color=ed1c24]"About to keel over already? We're just getting started"[/color] Yeah, a villain. Throwing out taunts similar to ones she had heard a hundred times. [hr] [i][color=f9ad81]"Aw come on, quit squirming! Look, we've already fucked your hair up this far, if we leave it like this it'll look worse than just going completely bald."[/color] [color=f7976a]"Wow, I don't think you'll be getting with any boys for a while after this, hun. I mean, assuming you did in the first place. But yeah, no, not after this."[/color] Shoko's groupies. If Reina hadn't been living in fear of them daily, she'd have found their shrieking laughs annoying. Instead, they just hurt. [color=FF4A4A]"Why are you fighting so much today?"[/color] Shoko herself. Terrifyingly calm compared to Reina's other tormentors. Her emotionless gaze hurt more than the laughter. [color=FF4A4A]"Are you forgetting why I do this to you?"[/color] Reina had stopped fighting, the other girls now having no struggle to keep her pinned to the cold locker room floor. She didn't have the energy to fight or cry anymore. Her gaze drifted towards the dark hair that had been shaved from her head. [color=FF4A4A]"Answer me, bitch."[/color] The only time Shoko seemed to show emotion now. Controlled, seething rage. Reina's scared eyes looked up at her pathetically as the girl stepped forward into a sharp kick to her gut. Air forced out of her violently, Reina gasped and coughed, rolling into a ball on her side. The moment she could, she rasped [color=b16edd]"I di... dn't f-forget."[/color] The rage subsided from Shoko's eyes, her expression reverting to her listless default. [color=FF4A4A]"Hold still. I've got somewhere to be."[/color] Reina complied, squeezing her eyes shut as she fought tears and coughs back, focusing on the pain in her stomach rather than the razor that buzzed in her ear or the fear of what would happen tomorrow.[/i] [hr] Something about a Kesh and a Ko. Somehow during her thoughts, Reina made the connection that that was likely Takeshi and Michiko. The guy was after them, then. The wolves barreling down on the group took the girl out of her daze. Adrenaline spiking again, Reina moved to get up, before being knocked down onto her backside again immedietely by one of the wolves. The girl's eyes widened as she grit her teeth, pain shooting through her left arm--the beast had been jumping for her head, so she had thrown her arms in front of herself to defend herself, of course resulting in it latching onto her limb instead. It's beady eyes were full of a wild intent to kill, yet somehow those eyes didn't really scare her. At least not as much as others had before. Still, she was in danger. The rest of her friends were busy with other wolves, and she couldn't use her quirk in this tight space--she'd harm them as much as she'd harm the enemies. The girl beat back the instinct that screamed at her to [i]push[/i] this mutt away to protect herself, instead spending some of her adrenaline-spiked energy on repeatedly hammerfisting the top of the wolf's head as she pushed her self back along the ground with her legs. The wolf shook its head roughly, increasing the damage done to Reina's forearm and getting a short-lived and quiet noise of panic and pain through her teeth. More pain shot up her ankle--a second wolf biting down. The wolf on her arm was now clawing at her upper body as well, cuts opening up on her stomach and shoulders. The panic flared as she felt herself pinned down by the two heavy animals. What could she do without her quirk? She was worthless without it. More memories flooded her thoughts as she kicked and punched blindly. Tears rolled down her face as another round of coughing hit her. [color=b16edd][i]Some hero you are.[/i][/color] She was going to be torn apart by two of a villain's mutts. When did she start thinking she could be a hero? When did she start dreaming of being one of the greatest? Reina's thoughts paused. She noticed she was still battling. Her free arm and leg were still driving themselves into the wolves with every ounce of strength she could muster, despite how quickly she was becoming exhausted. It didn't matter when. Despite what her thoughts told her she desereved for her past mistakes, she was still fighting. She wouldn't be able to try make up for those mistakes if she were dead. Her life was no longer hers. It belonged to all the people she'd help in the future. Reina yelled, this time her voice tinged with frustration instead of only panic and fear. A kick of hers apparently landed hard, as she felt the wolf whimper sharply and let go of her ankle. Taking her chance, Reina shoved the wolf on her chest to the side, grabbing roughly by the excess skin on its back. Grunting with exertion, she got to her feet, carrying the squirming animal with her, sharp pain running through her leg as she put weight on her badly injured ankle. Twisting her body, she threw her weight into the wolf and slammed it against the wall of the alley, holding it there even though the blow finally got it to let go of her forearm. As she reajusted her grip, this time using her torn-up left arm to grab the scruff of the wolf's neck, the second wolf was back at it, leaping at her and sinking it's teeth into the left side of her abdomen. The girl viciously slammed the wolf in her hands against the wall again, making sure it's head took the worst of the impact. The wolf on her side hung on awkwardly, only its two back paws touching the ground as it front paws worked on clawing her left side. Reina grit her teeth against the immense amount of pain from all the injuries she had sustained in a matter of a minute. Her vision blurred as she exerted herself again to slam the wolf she held, this time gasping for air as she kept him pinned on the wall, keeping her head away from his snapping jaw. Without her quirk, she was weaker. Of course she was. They all were [i]weaker[/i], if they couldn't use their quirk. She also had only recently begun training under Takeshi. Once she got out of this--[i]alive[/i]--she'd make sure to ask him for double the lessons. For now though, there wasn't much she could do in the state she was in, especially without weapon nor quirk. Gunshots ringing in her ears, she spotted the glow of Roy's quirk from the corner of her eyes. He must have been busy with wolves himself, but hopefully by now he could help her. While the second wolf kept at it on her side, she slammed the one in her hands against the wall again, finally feeling it start to weaken and go limp. [color=b16edd]"Kusayanagi-san!"[/color] she yelled, voice tearing from the coughing, pain, and exhaustion.
