Gold Dust {Shigaraki x Reader} Pt.1

Summary : Known in the Underworld as Adamant, you are quite the popular figure among the mafia despite your rocky beginning from when you first dove into the Black Light District.

It wasn’t enough to drive away your new boss though. He still saw you as a valuable asset, and you believed you were one as well.

You always thought you were unbreakable, untouchable, unreachable.

Now as you grow closer to your new team, you begin to have your doubts.

How much longer can you hold on until you break?

Chapter 1 // Rocky Ride

“Take a left- I SAID LEFT!” 

“WE’RE ROLLING WITH IT!”

“You're headed tO KAWASAKI!” 

“OH HEY, MY AUNT LIVES THERE!” 

 You scream, your voice nearing laughter due to hysteria. Your left eye was closed due to the blood that was dripping down from a gash somewhere on your head. It wasn’t too clear on where it was from as you had yet to make an inventory on where you had been hit yet. 

Gunshots could be heard behind you as the villains you failed in recruiting followed behind in their cars. 

Technically they were heroes in disguise, but either way, it was a failed recruitment if your persuasive skills couldn't tempt them.  

“Can we turn the A/C on! It’s hot back here!” Toga questions from the back of the van as the rest of the League are sent tumbling around the hull of the car. She was clinging to the oh shit bars while the others assumed the seatbelts would be enough to save them. You could hear Mr. Compress mention something about stealing a fan from the meeting room, though there was the snapping sound of wood immediately after. He soon curses the state of the car, specifically the belts.

Those seatbelts were already half nibbled on by the mice you were sure lived in this car, that shit tore apart immediately. 

“Sorry girlie! This car’s only settings are hot and hotter!” 

Shigaraki- who was currently backseat driving in the passenger seat- was looking ready to dive out the side door as an energy projectile shot off the side view mirror. His eyes hardened as he flexed his fingers, a promise of violence in that small movement.

You look in the rearview mirror, your gaze sharpening as you see the hero begin to build up a stronger bullet, the plasma swirling around their wrist already. 

“Spinner!” You yell behind you. “Take the wheel!” 

Spinner- the poor bastard getting crushed under the people pile- was quick to squirm away towards the front. His scarf was left behind somewhere in the pile, but he hadn’t seemed to notice yet. “No need to tell me twice!” 

Twice pokes his head out like a meerkat from within his spot in the writhing mass of bodies. “You called?”

Spinner ignores the man, which didn't matter as Twice was quickly squished back down by Dabi who was trying to push his way out of the pile. 

“I’ll handle the driving, you handle the heroes!” Spinner assures you, his expression is that of a man with nothing to lose. Good, because at this point you were certain the car was going to tumble. If not from the heroes' attack then because of the uneven weight distribution going on in the back. 

You nod and unbuckle yourself, slowing down just enough to leave him a smooth transition as you lower your window. A hand grabs your wrist, catching your attention before you can jump out the window.

You look down as you prepare to crawl out, Spinner was already half in your seat with a foot on the pedals. 

Shigaraki was at the end, his pinkie held away from your skin to avoid disintegrating you. He looks at you with a stern expression. “Make it hurt.”

Make it hurt. 

You grin. 

“Obviously.” You reply before hooking yourself around the open window and boosting yourself onto the roof of the car. Hair whipped its way in front of your face but it was easily ignored as you stood in the middle. 

The heroes that were in the cars behind you were busy preparing their final blow when they noticed you. It was obvious they were still confused about who you were as you were only a recent addition to the League. 

As the projectile hero pointed their newly formed energy bullet at you, you brace yourself against the railings of the roof, knowing what was to come.

Without a second of hesitation, the hero fires off their bullet.

Had you been a regular villain, the attack would have led to you having a hole in your shoulder, or worse, your chest if he was a less honorable hero. You would have tumbled off of the car, rolling down and effectively blocking Spinner’s view as your blood sprayed on the windows. Shigaraki might have even ordered him to use the windshield wipers to try knocking you off of the hood, not sparing you another thought as his main goal was to escape and cause chaos another day. 

But you weren't a villain picked out of the slums. 

Your vision fills with gold as you put up a barrier of pure energy, the kinetic energy of the bullet was easily consumed and absorbed into the matter of your shield. 

“They've got a new defense!” The hero curses at their driver. “Move us closer!”

You smirk and crouch on the roof, holding the side railings as the hero fires off multiple rounds of projectiles, each showing as a sunburst on your shield. He must’ve thought he was doing something important , something useful as he skewered your shield. But really, he was only making this a lot harder on himself. 

From below, you hear Shigaraki growl. 

“Finish this already! Dabi is two minutes from spilling his guts!”

You roll your head slowly, relishing in the light cracking of your neck before taking a stand. After this, you would demand a massage from someone other than Hand-man. But for now, you supposed it was time to end the game.

Lifting a hand, you clench your fist to compact the shield before opening your hand wide.

Like a bomb set off, the shield breaks and sends out a cacophony of energy waves, releasing all of the power accumulated by the bullets right back at the heroes. The sky was lit up like New Year’s as gold sparks ricochet in the direction of the heroes, sending them flying as their cars were effectively destroyed in a single hit. You watch in contentment as fire rains down, the debris igniting smaller fires off of the roads you were taking.

Yes. This is why you were brought in.

You were Adamant, the Gods Shield of Japan.

No weapon could bring you down. 

“Get back inside you idiot!” 

You sigh and flick off a piece of debris that landed on your shoulder. “Why do you always have to interrupt my god complex moment, aye?” You slip back into the car through Shigaraki’s window, grinning widely at his look of discomfort in being crushed. He had his hands up, glaring at you from under light blue bangs, his lips pulled into a small scowl. However, you knew it was simply because he had a thing about touching. You didn't take it personally, not at all. You scooch a little closer to make yourself comfortable as Spinner’s driving was gradual to smooth out. 

“No, thank you ?”

“..you did well.”

“Thanks, Oyabun .”

You rest your head against the door, closing your eyes and resting to the sound of chaos behind you. 

Yeah, these were your people, you would fight with them till the end. 

Little did you know how far you would be willing to go. 

...

“Guys I think Dabi looks a little green.”

“He looks pretty dead to me.”

You open an eye. “I’m not cleaning him up.” 

Shigaraki groans. “Just dump him out the back, he can walk.”
