The Helpful Hostage Meme

THE HELPFUL HOSTAGE (maybe) (hopefully) MEME!


Running from a wrongful accusation of murder? Wounded by your archenemy and looking for a place to hide? Need a pilot to go after those drug lords escaping across the border? Don't have time to go through the official channels? Find a hostage! And make them help you.

In this meme, one person desperately needs help. And, in order to get it, they grab another character. Off the street, out of their car, from a restaurant.

PROMPTS: (optional)
1 - MEDICAL ATTENTION.. You're bleeding, in pain and desperate, and you need medical attention. Right now. What will you do? Break into a private practice after hours? Find a darkened house or apartment with a convenient bathroom?
2 - SHELTER. The cops are after you. The temperature is dropping below -20. You're out in the middle of nowhere and you're starving. You don't have any options left - except for this.
3 - TRANSPORTATION. You need to get out of town. Fast. Can't buy a car, can't rent a car, can't take a bus - how do you leave?
4 - PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. You need a doctor. A lawyer. A pilot. A spy. And you know just the one. And you're going to get their help whether they want it or not.
5 - A HOSTAGE. You need a body to threaten. Maybe it's the President's daughter; maybe it's just someone off the street. Either way, it's leverage you're after. Maybe you'll turn them loose once you get to the border.
6 - FINISH THE CRIME. Get the manager who can open the bank vault. Or whatever else you need to commit your act of murder, sabotage and/or thievery.
7 - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT???? Fuck.
8 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN.

You're a pro hero now, aincha? It's your goddamn job to figure out what the fuck happened and do something.

Get me the fuck home.

[hah. there's an insult he hasn't heard in a while. also he turns to reply before pauses and steps down to the ground again. he's realized the problem with Bakugou's quirk being recognizable too]

Ah... hm. It might be better to walk, on second thought.

He's the one who knows the most about quirks, and I don't see how your situation couldn't have been caused by one.

[they pass a few blocks before coming up to a larger, honestly kind of flashy building. there's no doubt that it's a hero agency. there's also no doubt it's spearheaded by pro heroes Shouto and someone calling themselves Ground Zero, the names emblazoned onto the side of the building in bold letters. yknow, in case that isn't a name you've considered yet, Bakugou.

the inside is clearly visible through glass walls, a sleek lobby with chairs and a manned front desk. there are elevators at the back that seem to be limited access judging by the card readers beside them.

Todoroki just walks ahead to enter through a couple of sliding doors]

We share an agency?

Yes. I wasn't aware you'd thought about that name this early.

I didn't, but it's pretty obvious.

[ GESTURES AROUND ]

It basically looks like what I would like. Sort of. Some of it.

[ rolls his eyes because there's clearly someone else's opinions, and then it was probably all filtered through a professional designer to make it... work. ]

I've got great taste.

I won't deny that.

[he leads them past the front desk towards the elevators, nodding at the sidekick there, who looks a little confused at seeing Bakugou, but doesn't question it, and just waves back at Todoroki]

I got a lot of sidekicks, huh. How's that work, then? Our quirks are pretty fuckin' different, so how're we runnin' an agency together?

asonoficeandfire: * adult (424)

Re: Bakugou Katsuki | MHA

[personal profile] asonoficeandfire 2020-04-21 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[they're both our sidekicks tsk tsk]

Running an agency isn't difficult. And we work well as a team. We're both labeled as, ah... I think powerhouses? We usually do patrol individually, but get called in for the really big incidents together.
