"Oh, hell no." Mic stood shakily in front of the students, holding his arms out. His outfit was charred and ripped and spotted with blood in places, and the stem of one of his glasses was broken off. His giant plume of hair tilted to one side and several strands were drooping over his shoulders. "You're not gonna hurt them as long as I'm here."
The villain dismissed him with a wave of his hand. The kids clutched each other, not knowing what to do. Their quirks weren't strong enough to handle such brutality. He inhaled as his opponent moved, catching the air in his diaphragm to really blast the enemy as hard as he could. As he let loose his scream he noticed with dismay that the previous one had deafened the bad guy.
Not a good sign.
He was struck full force in the chest with the massive fist the man could make, even as he tried to dodge. Choking, coughing up blood, he rolled over, still in front of the terrified teenagers. The villain thought he had the upper hand now and moved in to swipe him out of the way.
"Ow, damn it!" He jerked his hand back in pain. Three or four lines of blood welled up from some thin cuts that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Careful, baby," Mic wheezed as a snarl of rage was heard. Two eyes were all that could be seen, dissolving in a milky white, glowing haze. The villain stepped back, his eyes wide and expression confused.
"What's happening?" He fell backwards on the ground, eyes wide.
"You attacked the children in our care and hurt my beloved." Cheshire flickered into view briefly, regarding the man cowering before her. "I'm not <i>pleased</i> with that." She flexed the claws on her paw pads and then slipped out of sight again.
"Wh - what..." The man flinched as the drug passed into his bloodstream through the cuts took effect. Though he could barely hear, he was still terrified. "She's crazy!"
"I'm not crazy," she purred, the glowing, fanged grin of her neck gear coming into view in a disturbing fashion. "My reality is just different from yours."
When the others came to confine him before the police came he was gibbering with fright. Elly had checked the students and since they were all fine, had been fussing over the wounds her boyfriend had gotten instead.
"M'fine. I'll be fine," he insisted. "I've been beaten up worse. Good thing you were around, though."
She wiped blood off his brow with a worried look. "Good job holding him in here, too. You're awesome." She hugged his arm gently, one of the parts that hadn't been injured.
