Chapter One

- Bakugou's POV-

I was selected as one of the ten people to go to a ship that had been found unresponsive. We would survey its main functions and spend several days there if it was safe. As the best salvage crew available we would be trying to fix it and fly it back to the station to sell. It would usually bring in a lot of money that was sufficient enough to keep me and my cat afloat for another month before I could find another job to take.

I looked around at the idiots that had to come with me. Mina 'Pinky' Ashido, our galaxy's best welder and mechanic. Denki 'Pikachu' Kaminari, an idiot that somehow managed to be a good electrician. Kyoko 'Headphones' Jirou, a sound specialist that can work any radio yet discovered. Tenya 'Glasses' Iida, the officer to enforce the rules of our mission to the new crewmates.

A few of the others were running in just before we sealed the door and strapped in. Ochaco 'Pink Cheeks' Uraraka, a girl who uses too much blush and focuses on the basic wellbeing of those who float around all day. Momo 'Ponytail' Yoayorozu, can craft just about anything from seemingly thin air and always has a flawless ponytail. Shoto 'Icy Hot' Todoroki, my rival's boyfriend and funds for this trip. Hitoshi 'Eyebags' Shinsou, an insomniac that could watch security cameras up to thirty at a time and spot the smallest changes or discrepancies. Lastly, Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya, my rival and childhood friend.

"Who's ready to repair a ship and score big?" Pinky asked, jumping around after we were cleared to unbuckle.

"Mina, do not jump around. You may fall and get injured before we even reach the ship." Glasses stated, doing his usual weird chopping arm motion.

"Aw lighten up Iida, I promise I won't fall unless it's into my fiancé's arms." she said, with a smile.

"Do we need this information Pinky, seriously just sit the fuck down." I grumbled, crossing my arms as she pouted at me.

"Kacchan you don't gotta be so mean." Deku said, getting on my nerves.

"Fuck off you damn nerd, I'm not being mean." I growled while getting up in his face.

"Guys! We're here, the scanner robots are going out now." Headphones said, the rest of us getting up and looking out the window.

"Woah, look how big that ship is. Are we gonna be able to fix all that?" Pikachu asked, everyone looking equally shocked and stressed.

"Damn right we are, we all just have to do our jobs and it'll be ready to sell by the time we get back.

"Scanners are picking up one life form onboard and no ruptured airlocks. It's safe to board." Headphones stated as we all got our stuff packed up.

Once we were lined up, we overrided the safety lock and pried the door open. When we were all inside we closed the outer door and got the inner door open. The lights were off as we walked into the main hall. It led to what looked like a cafeteria, so we headed that way. Pikachu took Eyebags to go fix the lights and get camera's up and running. Everyone else searched rooms that we passed, assessing any damage that they found. It was eerily quiet as we walked, splitting up as we did so.

I made my way to what I assumed was the navigation room, hand resting on my weapon in case the one lifeform showed up. That was the nerve wracking part of fixing abandoned ships like this. I finally reached the room, finding it empty aside from a blanket and pillow in the corner next to a vent and some papers scattered about. I inched forwards, making sure to check the corners as I walked so I didn't get jumped.

"Is anyone in here?" I asked, almost to the front of the room.

I heard a clattering ahead of me, making me pull my weapon out and lift the heavy wrench like a bat. I continued forwards until I jumped around the corner, scaring the shit out of a redhead that was crouched behind the main control panel. I pointed my wrench at him, making sure to be far enough away that he couldn't grab it. He looked like he would cry any moment if disturbed.

"Who are you and why are you here?" I asked, seeing him gulp down his fear a bit.

"I-I'm Kirishima, I was l-left behind." he stuttered out, still scared.

"What happened aboard this ship?" I asked, slightly lowering my weapon.

"We made a stop to pick up cargo and something got on board. It kept tearing the ship apart, outside to the inner area. People started fleeing and I got left behind." he said, his tears finally falling.

I put my weapon down and got on my knee in front of him. I looked him over and slowly reached out to pull him close to me, holding him in a hug until he was only sniffling. When I pulled away from him he had a look of adoration and something else in his eye. I heard my radio click and squeal before Pikachu started to talk.

"Hey Bakugou, we got a situation in the medbay. If you could come down here would be wonderful." he said, the radio cutting after he finished talking.

"I'll be there in a second Pikachu, I'm handling the lifeform from the scanners right now." I replied, pushing the button on the side before talking.

"Where are they? We'll need to get an exam of them if they're coming back with us." Pink Cheeks said.

"Well obviously, just meet us in the medbay. There should be stuff there for the exam anyways." I replied, standing up with the redhead following shortly after.

"There's more of you here?" Kirishima asked, following me down the hallways.

"There's a whole ship load of us. We're gonna fix and sell the ship." I replied, looking over signs for directions.

We finally made it after a few minutes and walked into the medbay to find Pikachu and Pink Cheeks in there. Pikachu had a folder filled with papers and Pink Cheeks had a clipboard and supplies out on the counter. Pink Cheeks smiled and motioned for Kirishima to sit down, though he only did so after looking at me and getting a nod.

"I'm Ochako, the crew nurse. I'm gonna be giving you a check up today." Pink Cheeks said, a stupid smile on her face.

"Bakugou, could I talk to you for a second, out in the hall?" Pikachu asked, looking nervous.

"Whatever dumbass, let's make it quick. We have work to do." I grumbled, going outside with the other blonde.

When we got into the hall Pikachu pulled me closer by my sleeve until he was almost in my face. I pushed him a bit as he put his hands up defensively.

"Calm down bro, I just wanna talk quietly." he said, stepping closer.

"Whatever, just spit it out already." I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest.

"So what did he tell you about what happened here?" he asked, making me frown more than usual.

"They picked up some cargo and something got on the ship. It tore everything apart and everyone left him behind." I answered.

"What's his name?" he asked, confusing me.

"Eijirou Kirishima or some shit like that." I answered, annoyed at the question.

"He is the thing that got on this ship Bakugou. There is no record of anyone under E or K in the crew logs." Pikachu said, holding up the folder he had.

"Gimme that, he's gotta be there. You must've missed it." I said, taking the folder and opening it.

"I promise Bakugou, you won't find his name. According to his story there should be another lifeform on this ship for it to make any sense." Pikachu said as I looked through names, not finding Kirishima.

"Go make sure the wiring is all in place, I'll deal with this appropriately." I stated firmly.

"Will do bro, make sure to be careful around him. We don't want anyone getting hurt." he said, walking off as I headed back into the medbay.
