[ He follows where he points to the dead rhino, his expression changing minutely from neutral to slightly disturbed only to grow in horror when the voices of the dead rise in dissonance, shouting the crimes laid against them.

We won't be denied! Murderer. Killer. Butcher! BUTCHER! BUTCHER!

Repugnance and fear arise from the cries of outrage. Descriptions come next. Every sordid detail laid bare in stark clarity. He grimaces, wanting to look away from the dead yet unwilling to ignore the glittering blood laced with the condemnation of the dead.

Before he can answer him, question, take stock of his own thoughts the wall explodes in a shower of ice, sending the foundation crumbling to the ground as the Huntsman continues his game. ]

No worries! thanks for the heads up!

[ He grits his teeth, hand clutching his side as the avalanche comes tumbling down. He shouts Megumi's name, voice lost in the roar of distant thunder; ice cracking under its own pressure bringing down the wall. In its wake, the Trophy Hunter steps through. Cold, calculating. Without mercy.

Perched atop a slab of ice, he stands above them in utter superiority swinging his weapon of choice from one to the other, deciding who to kill first.

Todoroki glares, blood boiling. When the shot rings out, leaves rain down; another life cut short. BUTCHER! The roar of voices starts up, yelling over each other. Sound everywhere. Megumi takes a stance and Todoroki mirrors him. Blood drips down his fingers - corruption taking root.

Kage now! ]


Kizu!

[ She explodes from his chest at a full run leaping into the fray. The snow leopard joins the wolf harboring his anger. Smashes into the Hunter. Ripes and claws into flesh, splintering bone. Payment for the dead. Together, they topple the monster to the ground lapsing into savagery, while Todoroki looks on, filled with anger and primal curiosity. ]

[ The fall from the canopy forced him to grab at the vines to regain his bearings. The friction caused by the coarse weeds left abrasions on his palms; of little concern when he was trying not to hit the ground and crack his skull. Afterward, the burning sensation was overlooked by the discovery of forbidden blood and the Trophy Hunter's appearance. A line of red runs across his palm and small beads of blood slowly make their way past the raw skin. A drop in the ocean of blood pollution in the area, and its effects are equally small and vague; it's influence slight but there.

Megumi calls back his omen, and Todoroki does the same only Kizu doesn't listen, snarling at the Hunter and snapping down on the hand holding the rifle, drawing blood. ]

[ Up close and personal, the omen mitigates what Megumi just figured out. She ignores the call to retreat and lets her incisors crunch through bone until fingers no longer connected by threads of nerves lose their grip on the gun. She pounces on it, filling his mind with images of destruction but he can't use fire in a forest filled with trees ready to burn.

Instead, a wall of ice snaps forward from the tips of his fingers generating at a rapid pace encasing the rifle in ice and driving it away in a skyward trajectory of twisting blue a kilometer above the canopy in less than a few seconds.

Todoroki lets out a misty breath, Kizu in his mind, finally filling him in on the regeneration powers that closely resemble that of one of the Nomu's from his world. So much so that the small moment of leniency has the same hand generating on the spot and grabbing the omen by the throat and tossing her aside like ragdoll. ]


Kizu!

[ He stays his ground, feeling his omen in his mind. Calm like an arctic tundra as she gets back to her feet, back arching in defiance before she snaps forward to resume the attack. ]

[ A dark shadow rises from the ground and Todoroki is on high alert. What is that?! Then, he sees it. The resemblance to Megumi. His head snaps over to him, missing the moment of decapitation. The head goes spinning through the air, spraying blood that passes through the white coat of the snow leopard, still pristine. It hits a tree and rolls over to -

He stiffens, eyes wide with horror at the sight of the headless hunter, he doesn't even notice what's happening with Megumi. Unused to this level of violence, the young hero's thoughts go into disarray prompting Kizu to snarl and come charging forward using her great bulk to push him away from the blood. She snaps her jaws at the smirking hunter, biting down hard on his head and flinging it back into the jungle. Todoroki watches it go out of sight, and feels his limbs go weak at the sight but remains upright. Kizu is there within seconds, and he lets his fingers grab at her great coat, using her presence to leverage his thoughts back into a semblance of order without breaking down. ]

[ Hands trembling on the greatcoat, he needs a minute to process the grotesque creeping down his spine. The severed head... it's the first time he's seen that kind of violence on display. Growing up in a relatively peaceful world, death isn't something he's ever encountered.

Heroes are supposed to save people. They don't kill. Not like this. With intent.

He keeps himself together, holding onto Kizu for strength as he tries to rid himself of the image of that severed head at his feet. But his reaction is nothing compared to-- ]


Megumi!

[ Fear spikes his adrenaline, giving him strength enough to reach his side. He skids down to his side. An arm goes around his back to keep him steady as he empties the contents of his stomach on the ground. He holds on to him, making sure he doesn't topple forward onto his own vomit. ]

Megumi. Are you okay?

[ He wipes the bile off his mouth with the back of his hand, mismatched eyes looking frantic for the first time since they've met. ]

[ He's not responsible for other people's feelings! Even Shouto, dense as he is, knows that much! ]

I'm not the one who threw up.

[ You aren't fooling him! Now sit there and let him take care of you!

Unclipping one of his empty canisters from his belt, Todoroki uses his right to fill it with ice and his left to liquify it to room temperature. When he's done, he hands Megumi the canister of water. ]


Wash your mouth with this and take a drink. You vomited bile. You need to wash down the acid.

[ Growing up in the hellscape of his home, Shouto knows the taste of bile. Stomach roiling from being pushed past his limits and the hit that emptied its contents on the ground. Throat burning from the acid. Shaking hands covered with bits of undigested food. Room burning so hot you couldn't breathe. And through it all, the acrid stench of burning acid while a looming figure stood over him with demands and expectations.

There's no running away from me and no running away from yourself. Stand! Don't be so damn soft!!

No older than five, he didn't always have enough strength to keep himself from falling on his own vomit. Seeing Megumi in that state, self-imposed no less, triggers memories from his past agitating his omen who prowls at the edge of the clearing where the head disappeared.

A professional, Shouto keeps his head focused on helping Megumi than rebuking him. It's not the first time something from his hero work has triggered him. He knows how to keep himself in check. No longer worried for him, his expression settles back into its trademark neutrality.

There's no verbal acknowledgment of the gratitude just a simple nod as he hands over the water. When Megumi gets up, Shouto lets him go without interference unsure if his help would be welcome. He understands the need to get away from the stench and doesn't fault him for it. ]


Paleblood.

[ He corrects for the second time this month. He understands the confusion given his quirk but his blood doesn't freeze when exposed to air, it glows a luminous pale color. ]

What did you do back there? [ He follows up, not easily led astray. ] That wasn't blood magic.

[ Half a year in Trench and he's never seen anything like that. Working with other Hunters, he knows the mechanics of blood in this world and that was wholly unique unlike his quirk, it was easy to distinguish it from the blood magic of this world. ]

[ Shouto freezes the bile from the back of his hand - where he wiped it from Megumui's mouth - and shakes off the yellow crystals. Rising to his feet, he side-steps the mess on the ground, mismatched eyes set on him.

A cursed technique... passed down through his bloodline. Like his mother's ice and his father's fire. Only, it doesn't change. The image of Midoriya comes to mind. One for All. All-Might's quirk passed down to his friend, unchanged. Viewed through a familiar lens he begins to understand.

The wolf turns to him, and Shouto finds himself staring into two large moon eyes so different from his omen, yet it feels familiar. He watches the wolf go to Megumi's side, offering comfort the same way Kizu sometimes did and sees the easy way he accepts it before turning to him.

Originating from a completely different world, the admission doesn't hold the same impact as he feels it should. He's missing context. Still, he knows it's important. Otherwise, Megumi wouldn't have reacted the way he did. Decapitation (he still shudders at the image of that head rolling on the ground) followed by a violent reaction against the very act. He doesn't need context to understand that. He hated his own fire for years loathed to hold the same quirk as his father... only it wasn't the same. ]


You don't like it... Do you?

[ It's odd to be confronted with the same argument Midoriya once used against him. How long did he ignore his fire out of spite for his father? Using everything he taught him on his ice instead. He was selfish. Giving only half of his efforts to reach the top. He'd been selfish and naive. A child rebellion out of spite.

He'd grown since then. Takes his goal of becoming a Pro-Hero seriously, growing stronger in both mind and body. He still struggles with himself. Trying to separate his quirk from his father. His mother. Not quite able to make it his own. Even so, he's only ever used his powers to incapacitate. Killing... killing is not what heroes do. ]


Megumi...

[ Said from behind, quiet and solemn. ]

You don't have to do it all on your own.

[ He's reminded of Midoriya. Keeping secrets, suffering the weight of the world on his own to spare them from the dark truths that pursued him. The realization, after the fact that his friend had been suffering the entire time, he smiled at him. Offering help with things that didn't matter in comparison to what he was up against. Facing the impossible. It was devastating figuring out the lies that came along with it. Realizing he could have done something to ease his burden, even a little, but denied the chance.

When you boil it down, it's the same situation as Midoriya. Maybe not on the same scale, but the thought process behind it is far too familiar for someone who arrived in Trench having just found out his friend's secrets. ]


I think... they would understand your motivations, but the people who are close to you... your friends and teammates... you'll only end up hurting them.

It's selfish... putting your feelings over theirs.

[ He looks up at the canopy as shades of green of every kind reach for the sunlight. He's reminded of Midoriya. ]

But... I think they'll forgive you. If you give them the chance.

[ Still naive of the horrors of the world, the question makes him stiffen when posed to him. The death of a loved one... he thinks of Touya and rejects the idea so swiftly, he loses his breath. ]

... No.

[ Said in a quiet, sad tone before he looks up at him. Really looks. Watching him cling to his omen for support... same as him. His feet start moving then. One step. Two. On the third, he's at his side, hand reaching for his in silent support. ]

You're suffocating.

That's not what a friend is...

[ He answers in turn, voice smooth. Neutral. Eyes trained on him. He thinks of Iida fighting alongside him and Midoriya. How they supported each other against the Hero Killer, Stain. Neither of them was strong enough to take him on alone, but together they managed to defeat a villain that had killed over a dozen Pro-Heroes.

How many exercises had Class-A completed together? Figuring out new and inventive ways to use their quirks along the way. The joy of working together. Supporting each other. Stepping into roles that best suited their quirks rather than their egos. ]


Or a teammate.

[ Eyes trained on him, hand outstretched, he offers him a hand.

You're suffocating.

He lets the words sink in, patient in his offer. His fingers grip his firmly when it's taken and he helps him back to his feet. ]


If it were easy, you wouldn't be in this state.
