Relief floods him when Jinx cooperates, Izuku immediately making his way over to the indicated area. He has no reason to think Jinx doesn't want his help. If anything, he'd assumed she told him to leave for his sake.
WHICH...isn't entirely untrue, but it wasn't for benevolent reasons.]
I found it! It's um...
[He crouches down, very carefully reaching a hand through and into the gap to see if there's anything immediately blocking it. When there isn't, he'll tilt his head to look through, careful not to stay on the ground too long lest the floor suddenly decide to give way.]
It's a tight fit...but it's open all the way through to your side. I think you should be able to get over here through it.
[He assumes. He wouldn't be able to fit unless he pulled some more of the wall apart, which is dangerous to try right now.]
no subject
( jinx only sighs. she can't put this off forever... so. might as well. crouching down, she slowly makes her way through the little tunnel, careful not to touch anything for more than a second- she can't risk the ambient bad luck making things collapse, or worse.
... okay, she kinda wants to- but that's mostly with how much she's dreading coming out on the other side. but it's too late now, and forcing herself out through the other side is more because of the strong desire to run away than because it's difficult or dangerous or anything.
standing up and dusting her leggings off, she gives izuku an emotionless stare before smiling sweetly. )
Surprise.
no subject
Jinx emerges, and all Izuku can do at first is stare in disbelief. How...did he not recognize...?]
I-it's you!!
[IT'S HER]
no subject
( even with her gentle cooing, however, jinx is quick to drop the act, the hands that had been clasped together against her cheek dropping to her hips instead. what, did he think she told him to get out of here because she was nice? )
There wasn't anybody on my side that I could see, for the record. Since you were so willing to play the hero for someone telling you to get lost, I'm guessing it's the same for you?
( because of course, she can't not be a prickly cat about this. )
no subject
...but that wouldn't line up with the way she'd dropped him relatively harmlessly before, now would it?
He's frowning, but he isn't immediately going after Jinx either. He's just watching her carefully, gauging the situation for what it is for the time being.]
Yeah. There aren't any civilians on my end.
[...]
And sorry, but I wouldn't have left even if I knew it was you. This place could go down any minute.
[And it sounds like Izuku doesn't think she deserves to be trapped any more than a civilian does.]
no subject
it's a struggle not to roll her eyes, honestly. of course he would! because he's a good little hero boy and that's what they do. regardless of anything!
yeah, right. )
Oh, spare me. Just focus on yourself before you get proven right.
( it's eerily quiet, even by her standards. the air is thick with dust, and the only thing she can hear is the two of them. given everything that's happening, shouldn't there be more?
it's stupid to split up. and she hates that, because she wants nothing to do with any of this- there's a sick heavy feeling in her stomach that isn't from the building collapsing, and her skin's absolutely crawling. )
We need to find a way out. Careful with your quirk though. The force of it will definitely upset the balance on something.
no subject
[He doesn't like this either. He doesn't like working with a villain, being told stuff he already knows about his own Quirk...but Izuku knows that if they don't cooperate, they could both die up here. That's to say nothing of the people who could potentially still be trapped.
Yet, how does he know this isn't the doing of her and her group? He has good reason to be suspicious of that, considering what happened when they last met...]
...do you know what caused this?
[Yet.......he can't help himself.]
them casually pushing each others buttons and me chinhanding like its the best thing ever
( jinx just sighs, crossing her arms tighter. 'do you know what did this', 'did you see this happen'- all empty attempts to 'soften' the accusation. she's heard them all before.
fucking hell, today was a mistake. even before she answers, she's already walking away to try and scope out a way down. )
But no. I don't. I smelled smoke, and I remember the cases shaking, but I wasn't by any of the windows or anything. And then everything went to shit.
no subject
Well thanks for the honesty, I guess.
[IF he can even trust that account...but does he have much of a choice? Nooot really.]
Any elevators are going to be out, and without our Quirks we're going to have to do this the hard way. Help me search the walls. Look for light, or fresh air- anything.
[If Jinx is going to be snippy, he has no problem giving her orders.]
no subject
Yeah, yeah.
( and she will, surprisingly? just. away from him. because the moment she can, she's running and she's not looking back, and she wants a head start. but there's little actual airflow to follow, and... ... uh. )
Hey, there were windows on this side, right?
no subject
He looks up from where he'd been searching the area when she mentions windows, nodding.]
There were windows.
[Emphasis on "were".]
Why?
no subject
Oh, just wondering.
( so what could be doing this? a quirk, for sure, but what was the nature of it? and how did they cancel it? because there is no way in hell she's spending any more time here than necessary.
still, ultimately little has changed: the idea of windows is a bust, so it's best to just keep looking. )
no subject
There are no windows, and a lot of debris scattered everywhere, but eventually Izuku comes across the collapsed remains of a door. It looks like it leads out of the room, at least...]
Hey, over here! I think I found something.
no subject
surprisingly, when he does call out, she comes to see. it looks unstable, but... in the big empty shopping floor, it's at least something in the face of her attitude- she knows she hasn't been the best 'stuck in a hell situation' partner.
but god, he drives her up the fucking wall. )
Either a different department, or a back room... either way, it's better than here...
( and even if the doors a bust, they can find a different opening nearby surely. already, she's inspecting it but careful not to touch. )
no subject
Dust falls from the ceiling as he scans their surroundings for the safest place to find cover, only to realize it stopped as soon as it started. That hole where the door was is much wider now, giving them just enough space to get through if they crouch.
Just...don't think too hard about the way he'd immediately stepped in front of Jinx to shield her, just in case.]
...g-guess that's our way out.
no subject
Jeeze... ( talk about bad luck.
...
... was. was that her? fuck. she needed to get out of here before she made things worse. )
... You good?
( don't read into that, either. shut up. don't answer her- in fact, she is stepping away, dusting her shoulder off like the shift of a collapsed building is nothing more than a mild inconvenience. it's fine, she's fine, they're all fine. )
no subject
Izuku stands up a little straighter, the cloud of dust around them enough to hopefully mask how flushed he is.]
Ye- ....ah...
[It comes out half-formed and trails off because she's already on the move, which gives him an out to just. Do exactly that. Shut up and follow her out before something else breaks.]
no subject
without any more confirmation aside from a pointed glance his way, jinx approaches the opening. she can't really see what's through it... but. well. better to keep moving than to wait and get crushed. so in she goes!
it's perhaps even darker than the other room was, cramped and even dustier.
jinx fuckin' hates it. )
Do you have a flashlight or anything? Or your phone's, anyways?
( ... because unfortunately. hers definitely broke during everything. )
no subject
Got it. No idea how long it's going to last, though.
i rolled a d20 to see how okay they'd be and they got a 2. i immediately rerolled to not kill them.
Who leaves home without their shit as charged as possible?
( jinx not everyone's neurotic like you are. izuku's going to be neurotic in different ways. gosh.
with the light comes some clarity- the room's half trashed, yeah, but there's a good amount of spots that look safe and sturdy. with her quirk, she expected far worse, actually. now what part of this... right. )
There should be stairs in the center. I remember coming through this way.
HKSFHK OH GOD
But at least they do have a light to work with now. That's something, right? Izuku's expression flattens, because he really doesn't want to have to do this, but...]
...you lead the way, then.
I GOT A TWO??? A TWO!!!!! *WITH JINX'S POWERS*!!!!!!!!!!
jinx stares without much emotion for a moment before taking the lead, which really speaks volumes in and of itself, doesn't it? the reluctance- okay, yeah, given that they're enemies it makes sense, and yet it always feels like that sort of reluctance regarding her is more about her powers than her morals. even the team had their doubts...
whatever.
cautious as she goes, jinx spends a few seconds testing different spots before stepping over tiles or rubble. looks like she's not entirely talkative at the moment... but at one point when she reaches to brace herself against a counter, izuku might catch pink sparks at her fingers, which immediately recoil from the surface. it's probably fine. )
LMAO JESUS
Is...everything okay?
they would have died immediately.
My quirk is volatile, dangerous, and too much for my body to actually handle. It has the active effect- which you've dealt with- and a passive effect: I'm a constant source of misfortune and bad luck. Which is why I want out of this place- if I get more stressed, I'm just gonna make things worse.
( a pause, while she's not looking at him, and he can't see her face, and... )
If you want to go on ahead, I won't blame you.
no subject
Izuku takes a breath, slowly letting it out before he shakes his head...then realizes she won't see, so he'll start talking.]
The only worse it could get is if the building collapses, and me going anywhere else isn't going to save me if that happens. So I'm probably in no better shape elsewhere than I am with you.
[...]
We have to work together to get out of here in one piece, anyway.
