2 Weeks Ago...
"Why do you want her to work with us if she's not able to use her quirk?" Kurogiri asks.
"She has the potential to become stronger." All for One answers. Shigaraki places his hand over a cup and slowly picks it up, drinking from it.
"Her quirk is dangerous... I don't want that to stagger and ruin my chance at beating All Might." Shigaraki huffs.
"You said she wants to become a Hero, Shigaraki?" All for One asks.
"Yes. She spoke about it often when we were children." Shigaraki listlessly replies.
"Have you ever seen her quirk in action?" Kurogiri asks.
"I have... and it's dangerous... not even I can stop it." Shigaraki sighs. "My quirk has no effect on her."
"Really? Not even at its full potential?"
"I haven't used my quirk fully on her." Shigaraki replies to Kurogiri's question. Everyone in the room goes quiet, so does the TV that All for One is speaking through.
"What made you realize this...?" Kurogiri asks.
"Not long after I met her, she was able to handle regenerating fast after my quirk hurt her... It got to the point where she would regenerate faster than my decaying... but seven years ago, she did something that made me question what type of quirk she had."
"Hm... can you explain that more?" All for One asks.
"..." Shigaraki lifts his cup and takes a sip from it.
7 Years Ago...
I lay upside down on the couch, staring at the television screen. Shigaraki is standing at the table doing whatever it was that he was doing.
I stare at the screen, listening to the hero's duties and the saving they have been doing. The ones I often heard of are All Might and Endeavor. All Might seems pretty cool, but I like Endeavor more.
"I want to be a cool hero like Endeavor..." I softly say. "Tomura... don't you think heroes are cool?" I softly ask. He doesn't respond. I sigh and continue to stare at the screen.
"When I get older, I want to go to U.A. and become a cool hero." I bubble.
SMASH
My eyes widen when Shigaraki throws something hard into the TV.
"Why'd you do that!?" I shriek.
"TV is bad for the brain."
"No- It gives a lot of information! Why did you have to be a jerk and break the TV?!" I whine.
"You will be fine."
"No, I won't!" I sniffle. "Now we have to get a new TV."
"You don't need to watch TV." He sighs.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" I grumble.
"Figure it out... but stop with the hero bullshit." My eyes follow him as he walks out of the room. I squint my eyes and slowly sit up.
"Suddenly, he became a teenager and started to act like a jerk. You aren't even that much older than me... Jerk-" I roll off the couch and sluggishly walk towards the window. I stare out around the street and sigh, resting my arm on the windowsill. I sigh and walk out of the room. Shigaraki side eyes me as I do.
I stumble down the stairs and into the underground system. I slowly walk down the hall and stop at the door leading into the area the Doctor tells me to stay away from. I push the door open to see the boy who's always lying in his bed bandaged up.
He's been here for a long time. I remember when he was brought in.
I wonder if Tomura knows this guy is down here.
The Doctor told me to leave him alone and to stay out of this room, but curiosity eats me every time I think about him.
"I wonder if you're nicer than Tomura..." I softly say. I lean forward more, staring at his face. He has white hair and fair skin. He looks older than Shigaraki.
"What are you doing here?" A voice says from behind me. I quickly look behind me to see the Doctor.
"What will you do with him?" I softly ask. "He's been here a while... Will he stay with us?"
"I told you many times not to come down here..." the Doctor replies. I pout a bit and look back towards the boy. I hold my hand, preparing to place my hand on the boy, touching the skin on his chin and jaw. It feels rough.
When he first came here, he looked all burnt and past help, but the Doctor is really good at his job. He saves people all the time and does it so well.
"What's his name?" I softly ask.
"He doesn't have a name." The Doctor answers. I stare at the boy more.
"Tomorrow, he will be leaving to a better place."
"A better place?" I softly repeat, slowly looking back at the Doctor.
"Yes, a better home."
"Oh... so I won't be able to see him again?" I say in a sad tone.
"Unfortunately, no."
"I wanted to make another friend..." I sigh.
"Where is Shigaraki?"
"Being a Jerk." I pout. The Doctor motions to me, and someone picks me up and carries me out of the room. I stare at the door as we walk down the hall. The Doctor has always been very weird towards me. He's not always here, but when he is, he never really likes it when I am too nosy and stick my nose in all of the business. But I can't help it- Shigaraki is lame and there's never anything to do here.
The guy places me upstairs and closes the door leading to the underground, locking it. I sigh and look back towards the room I was in earlier. I don't want to be here anymore.
"You must grow up to end Heros... they are the bad guys."
If heroes are bad guys, then what are bad guys considered? The good guys?
Father saved me and Shigaraki. He saved the burnt boy downstairs too... he has saved a bunch of people... doesn't that make him a hero? The Doctor saves lives... doesn't that also make him a hero? I don't understand what's right and wrong... I don't understand any of it. And every time I ask Father, it still doesn't make sense.
I turn my head to look the opposite way from the room and slowly walk down the hallway. I stop when I see a dresser. Above the dresser is a window. I stare at it, thinking about what I want.
I slowly look behind me and then in front of me again. I climb the dresser and push the window open. I push at the screen and fall through it, falling out the window.
Shigaraki flinches when he hears the snap of the window screen. He looks towards the door, squinting his eyes a bit.
I slowly push myself up and brush myself off a bit. I look around me a bit and then quickly walk down the alley beside the building.
If father won't tell me, then I will figure it out myself.
I continue out of the alley and towards the popular part of the city, the part where heroes are most active.
