Chapter Text
*Ayame Pov*
I was walking down the sidewalk in the city, with the hood of my ragged jacket up. I couldn't let them see. What I was doing here, I don't know. People were giving me weird looks, but I'm used the that. I sigh. Most people would panic attack the sight of a teenage girl in dirty, ragged clothes, and had bruises sometimes peeking out from the holes in the articles of cloth. But not here. They rely on their heros to help anyone in need and dont do anything to help themselves. I have learned that the hard way. I need to get far from this place, but I'm too tired. How I'm even awake at this point is a mystery. When was the last time I slept? 1-no-2 weeks ago? I can't remember. I see a group of teenagers about my age heading for me. They are heros in training. I can tell by the way they hold themselves. They have straight backs and are constantly looking at their surroundings. I see a tall blonde in the front. He is the only one slouched slightly. He has red eyes and he looks pissed. Behind him is a greenete with freckles and green eyes talking energetically to a girl with pink skin and hair, her eyes are black and she has yellow horns. There is also a red head with sharp teeth talking to another blonde with a lightning bolt on the left side of his hair. I tilt my head down when I get closer. "Never let anyone see! Got it you useless freak?!" An angry voice in my memories says. I flinch slightly. I pass by them and the greenete stops talking. The pink skinned girl looks at him and then the center of his gaze. Me. "Deku……? What's wrong?" She asks. The greenete, presumably deku- "useless!" - I flinch again, responds just before they are out of my hearing range. They turn a corner and I let my tensed shoulders relax. I sigh again. I turn into a side alley. No civilians notice. That's fine. No one can know anyway. I take out a knife hidden in my backpack. I stare at it for a second. No. I'm too tired. I need a nap. I check the small backpack that I have. I only have a granola bar and a small bottle of water. I sigh once more. I will surely run out of supplies in a day or two. I should have taken more when I ran. Oh well. What's done is done. I eat half the granola bar and take a sip of water and fall asleep for the first time in weeks.
*Deku Pov*
I see a girl about our age heading for us, when we are taking our stroll through town. Her clothes are covered in dried blood. In someplaces you can see bruises showing through the holes in her clothes. She has the hood of her jacket up. I can tell that Kacchan sees her because he gives a small "tch" from the front of our group. I am talking to Mina about costume ideas and Kirishima and Denki are talking about whether or not the coffeeshop we just came from was there last week. I see her tense as she gets closer to us. She knows we are here but she ignores us. Like she doesn't want help. I frown slightly. I stop talking to Mina to watch her walk away. She limps slightly as if her back hurts. She also stumbles slightly as if she hasn't slept in weeks. Mina looks behind her at the girl too because I stopped talking. There is a brief moment of silence between us. "Deku…… ? What's wrong?" She asks like we have been trained. She knows that the girl can hear us and we want her to trust us if we want to help her. We need to pretend like nothing is wrong, just like all might and Aizawa taught us.
Mina turns to look at me. "Nothing." I say. Then we turn a corner and she is gone. "We're telling Aizawa about this right?" I ask. I know the group saw the girl. The whole group nods. Kacchan grunts. "Did you see the scars?" Denki asks sadly. I nod. They had visible through the holes in the clothing. Of course they were telling Aizawa about this, and possibly all might too. The girl was obviously hurt.
*Ayame Pov*
I jolt up, hands flying to protect my face gasping. I wait for the hot that never comes before I realize that it was a nightmare, rather a memory. I lower my arms and put my head against the wall. I sit there for a moment before putting my half eaten granola bar and my empty bottle of water back in my small rugged backpack. It used to be yellow, but it's more of a gray now. I eat very little now. I guess that's what happens when you're starved for 13 years. Before I can stand I hear a ruff voice. "Found ya." I freeze. I know that voice. I start immediately trembling and I drop my gaze like I was taught by force. My uncle steps out of the shadows with a whip in hand. I wince internationally at the sight. "Thought ya could run could ya freak? Huh?" He cracks the whip against my arm that I had flung up to protect my face. I whimper slightly. I feel the blood start to seep out of the cut. I will have to bandage it later. I freeze again. Damn it. He hates it when I make noise after he hits me. He takes a step forward and I scramble back. He laughs. It is a evil thing. He raises the whip. It connects with a half healed wound and I scream. Màybe…just maybe someone will hear me and call a pro. But I doubt that. No one has done anything in 13 years. My uncle takes another step forward and raises the whip. I raise my arm to protect my face again and my hood falls off.
*Deku Pov*
We had just finished telling Aizawa what we had seen on our walk. He opened his mouth to respond when his phone rang. He picked it up and answered it. There was a moment of silence then "Hey! Hey! Mic calm down and tell me what you mean." Aizawa said. Pause. "You WHAT?!" Aizawa yells into the phone he takes a deep breath and swears. At this point I am extremely concerned. It takes a lot to make Sensei to swear and look this concerned and worried. He also looks a little pissed. "Damn it. Alright. Take a break and go see Midnight." Even Kacchan has looked up now. It must be really bad if Present Mic has to take a break from teaching. Aizawa hangs up and sets the phone down on the table. He shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath. I know that he is trying to control his face and emotions to tell us something. He opens his eyes and looks at us calmly. "There is a emergency mission. A civilian that Mic knows called him. The civilian said that they heard a crack of a whip and a female scream down an alley not far from where you saw this girl. I have reason the believe that the girl is in trouble and needs help immediately. " The words barley leave the pros mouth before the whole group throws themselves out of the empty classroom and down the empty halls of UA. The teacher wasn't far behind us. Kacchan and I use our quirks to get to the girl faster. We are nearly there.
*Ayame Pov*
I hope someone comes soon. I don't make a sound or even protest as my uncle kicks me against the alley wall. Maybe hell kill me now. It would be faster that way. I know that isn't going to happen. He hasn't gotten close to killing me for nearly a year. I hear faint explosions in the distance. A villain? Maybe the villain will kill us both and get it over with.
*Deku Pov*
We reach the alley where the girl supposedly went down and I am immediately assaulted with the smell of fresh blood. There is a chuckle then running foot steps. I make a move to follow them when Sensei puts a hand on my shoulder shaking his head. "The girl first. She needs medical help immediately." Aizawa takes a step forward into the alley. He clicks on a flashlight illuminating the alley that was growing dark with the falling sun. There is a trail of blood that leads deeper into the alley. In front of me is a rugged yellow-gray backpack leaning on the wall. I walk towards it and look through it. There is only half a eaten granola bar and an empty bottle of water and a nearly empty roll of bandages. This would last me half an hour at most. How long could the girl survive on this? I shrug on the backpack for safe keeping. I continued down the alley with the others. No one sid a word. They had watched me shower the backpack silently.. we walked father in and we finally saw the hunched form of the girl. I immediately turn and hurl putting a hand to the wall to support my weak knees. I look at the others. Kirishima closed his eyes, mina covered her mouth and turns away crying. Kacchan is staring in horror. Aizawa pretends not to be unfazed, but I can tell he wants to murder someone. The pro kneeled by the girl and she flinches away. She has been staring at the flashlight emitting light and she had a mix of between exhaustion and emotionless look on her face. She looked like she was done and tired of the world.
*Ayame Pov*
I heard footsteps. My uncle chuckles and runs deeper into the alley, where there are more alleys. He is gone. I hear someone rummage through my backpack. Then a click of a flashlight. It blinded me briefly but I adjusted. The footsteps got closer until the flashlight was directly on me. I could hear about 6 pairs of feet. One was an adult male. I could tell from the way he walked. The flashlight illuminates behind the man. I see the group of teenagers from earlier. The greenete quickly turns putting a hand on the wall to support himself and hurls. The angry blonde no longer looks pissed andhe instead looks at me in horror and disgust. The red head closed his eyes and looked away slightly. The pink haired and pink skinned girl closed her eyes and turned away completely. The other blonde with the lightning bolt in his hair also turned around completely. I kept an emotionless face on. I'm used to the pain so it doesn't bother me. I chuckle in my head. My uncle must have gone a little overboard. I dissociated when he started to hit me so I don't know how much he hit me. The tall male kneels in front of me. I flinch back excepting him to hit me. He doesn't. He puts a hand to my shoulder and I flick my eyes to where he is reaching. He breathes a sigh of relief when my eyes move. The greenete has finally stopped throwing up. He is know kneeling on the ground panting. The other teenagers haven't moved.
*Deku Pov*
I finally stop throwing up when my stomach is empty. The others haven't moved since they saw the girl. They are frozen. I turn back to look at the bloody and limp girl. Aizawa puts a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes flick to his hand. He sighs in relief. She was alive. Thankfully. Aizawa pulls his hand away. His hand is completely covered in blood. The girl stares at him as he stares at his hand in horror.
*Aizawa Pov*
I put my hand on the girls shoulder. Any sign at all that she was alive, any. Her eyes flick to where my hand is. I sigh in relief. She is alive. I pull my hand away and notice that my whole hand is covered in blood. I stare at it in horror. There should not be this much blood on someones shoulder. She gives a small dry chuckle. She coughs slightly and I immediately know that, that is not good. She must have a pierced lung because a trickle of blood comes from her mouth. She needs immediate help. I turn to look at my problem children. They are frozen and bakugou looks the worst. He is just staring. I fix my expression. I can't worry them even more. This isn't even something they should see until they had at least a few years of hero work. "Hey kid. Can you stand?" I ask turning back to the girl. She responds in a incredibly hoarse voice. "I'm fine." And I know she's not. She doesn't want help. Or can't. She slowly stands and I look up watching her. She puts the hood of her hoodie back on and tilts her head down to the left. How she does stand is a miracle. She must have at least a few broken bones. But she makes no sign that she is in pain. That is until she takes a step forward towards the green haired boy kneeling on the ground. A quick and barely noticeable flash of pain crosses her face. To the untrained eye it would just look like a frown. She walks to the green haired boy. She reaches a bloody and cut hand out. He looks up in confusion. "The bag." She says hoarsely. I stand and walk to her. "You need help kid. " I say. She turns to me and glares at me. "No. I don't." She says turning back to the problem child. There is a trickle of blood coming from her mouth when she stands. I know that's not good. A rib must have pierced a lung. When she was asked if she could stand she had responded in the most deadpan and hoarse voice I've ever heard. Her voice also sounded like she hadn't had any water for days. She walks towards Deku. The nerd was still panting. The damn nerd looks up confused at her out stretched hand. "The bag." She says. The sleeping bag stands and walks to her. "You need help kid."
*Bakugou pov*
I should help the damn girl. Even the damn Deku or the sleeping bag. Move damn it! I can't but I should. I'm frozen. When someone needs help, especially this girl, a hero doesn't freeze. But I do and I cant do anything. I just stand there staring at the girl. She has cuts most likely from the whip and has bruises everywhere. There is a trickle of blood coming from her mouth when she stands. I know that's not good. A rib must have pierced a lung. When she was asked if she could stand she had responded in the most deadpan and hoarse voice I've ever heard. Her voice also sounded like she hadn't had any water for days. She walks towards Deku. The nerd was still panting. The damn nerd looks up confused at her out stretched hand. "The bag." She says. The sleeping bag stands and walks to her. "You need help kid."
The girl looks at him and glares at him. Her voice somehow gets even more stiff "No. I don't." She says. She flinches slightly and she turns back to Deku.
*Ayame Pov*
I don't need help. I can't get help. "Useless!" I flinch. I turn back to the greenete who is slowly getting up. He needs rest. I make sure that my hood is up and my head tilted to the left. Thankfully they didn't see my face when the flashlight was on my face. "No." The boy says glaring at me. I look at him in shock for a moment weighing my options. I shug " Fine." I say simply and start to walk back to the street. BANG!A tranquilizer gun goes off. I know what it is from the sound. God. How many times I've heard that sound is sickening. I feel the familiar sharp poke of the needle as the dart finds home. I turn.
*Aizawa Pov*
I don't know what to do. We need her to go with us for help. I'm not going to let this injuries girl just leave. I can't. She starts walking towards the street after the problem child doesn't give her her bag. I'm out of options. I pull out the tranquilizer gun that Mic had given me. I hadn't known why he would give it to since I was a trained hero, but he insisted. I aimed and fired. BANG! she stiffened like she knew what was coming. She hesitated and I think that the dart was taking affect, but she slowly turned, a malicious and tired grin on her face. She reached for her neck where it lodged in the back of her neck. She flicked it away and it broke against the alley wall. I looked back at her. "That's pointless. I'm immune to Tranquilizer darts." She says turning again. I reholster the gun. Immune? Was that her quirk? No. That was too specific. She had also shown no signs of having a quirk. "Wait! Please!" I shout. I resort to begging. There really is no other option. She hesitates for a moment. That one moment of hesitation was all I needed. Mic was here and I knew that because the watch on my right wrist buzzed when he was 10 ft away from me. I breathes a sigh of relief. The girl straightens and tilts her head slightly… .. like she was listening to something.
*Ayame pov*
"Wait! Please!" The adult male yells reaching a hand out. I pause because this was new for me. No one has asked me to stay. I heard footsteps on the roof 10 ft away to my left. The adult male sighed slightly as his watch gave a small buzz. I turn to the man. 7ft now. The person on the roof was gonna 'sneak attack's me. I decided to let If I wanted I could easily take the person running at me and knock him out and run, but I'm too tired, so I let the man- I could tell now by his weight and fighting style- tackle me from behind. I give the adult male with the scarves who asked me to wait, a quick fake smile, when the adult male blonde makes my knees buckle and my head connects with the concrete and I welcome the darkness that follows.
*Aizawa Pov*
The girl turns and gives me a quick smile before Mic lands behind her and caves in her knees in and her head hits the pavement, knocking her out. "Mic! You could have hurt her more!" "Mic! You could have hurt her more!" I yell before running to her side. Her pulse is weaker then it should be but she'll live. " You weren't answering my calls or texts Sho! I was worried!" Mic says. I sigh. I turn back to my problem children most of them have recovered from the initial shock of seeing the girl.Deku walls to me. " S-sensei. Will she be ok?" The problem child asks. The others are now looking at me. "I hope so." I tell them. I doubt it. She will probably never be 'ok.' Mic is gently picking the girl up in his arms. Mic was the first to leave the Alley, I was second, the problem children behind us. We head back to U.A
*Bakugou Pov*
I don't know what the hell just happened. We got back to U.A and The Sleeping Bag and the loud Blonde took the girl to Recovery Girl. Sleeping bag told us to go to the dorms and relax. RELAX?! HOW THE HELL WERE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?! AFTER WHAT WE JUST SAW?! I put my head in my hands. And sit on the edge of the couch in the common room. We just saw something that made me question if I should be a hero if I have to face stuff like that. I hear some of the extras enter."Whoa. What happened to you?" I hear Headphones ask. I quickly wipe my face before looking at them. "Bakugou! Are you alright?!" Soy sauce face asks. I nod. Soy sauce face looks at the damn nerd on the other couch to my left. I look too. I can immediately tell he feels the same as I do. He is starting at nothing and is fidgeting with his hands. I sigh. "Is it just you extras?" I ask. Jiro, iida, shinso, Shoto, sero and momo are standing in the hallway. "Bakugou not yelling? Somethings definitely wrong." headphones says"Were you crying?" Soy sauce face asks. "SHUT UP!" I yell at them. "There the bakugou I know." Soy sauce face says the same time kirishima, mins, and Denki enter. The group it ores everyone else but the nerd and I. Kirishima sighs. " Recovery Girl said she's badly hurt, but she'll live. She stable right now." The group sits on the couch to my room right. I sigh. " That's good." I reply."What-hurt-stable-she?!!?" Soy sauce face asks looking concerned. " What's happening?" Headphones asks. I say nothing. A pause. " Are you gonna sit or what?!" I yell at their unmoving forms. I notice the nerd flinches slightly but stares at nothing still. The others scramble to the few spots left on my couch and the nerds. They leave space between us. I sigh again. I look to the right. Mins is rubbing kirishima's back. "Hey! Shark teeth! You wanna explain?""Hey! Shark teeth! You wanna explain?" I ask the red head. He looks up quickly an empty look in his eyes. "Why? I mean, you can." His voice slightly more emotionless then I've ever heard. "I-i can't. I-i....." I trial off looking away. Kirishima looks at me understanding. Mins speaks up. "It's fine. I can." She pays the shark on the back and sends me an apologetic look.
*Aizawa Pov*
I set the girl on the bed and tell the problem children to leave and move. Bakugou and Deku had already left and I was worried about how they were holding up. I turn back to recovery Girl and she shoos me out. I leave and sit on the waiting room. I cross my arms. I will find whoever did this and put their ass in jail for the rest of their lives. I put my head against the wall. Mic had gone home. I close my eyes and fall asleep
*Deku Pov*
There is a huge silence when minas done. I'm still staring at the wall thinking. Kacchan put his head back in his hands. "She'll be ok right?" Sero asks. Kirishima nods. " The rest of the class doesn't know do they?" Jiro asks. Denki shakes his head his eyes slightly blank. "Want us to tell them?" Shoto asks a hand on kacchans shoulder leaning down to look at his face. Kacchan shrugs. "Yes." I say not looking away. Everyone looks at me. I say nothing. Shoto nods. I sigh. I hope she's ok.
*Aizawa Pov*
I wake to someone poking me. I jolt up and grab my capture scarf. I hear a soft chuckle. I relax as I realize it's just Recovery Girl. " I healed her with as much energy as she had, which wasn't a lot. Here's the report." She says handing me the paper and walks away. I scan the paper and throw a hand over my mouth and I drop the paper. It flutters to the ground and lays face up. The horrifying words staring me in the face.
*Bakugou Pov*
"Want us to tell the others?" Half and half asks a hand on my shoulder and trying to look at my face. I shrug. His hand doesn't fall off. "Yes " I hear someone say. Their voice is emotionless and tired. I look up to realize it's the damn nerd. He is staring at nothing still. Shoto nods. The silence is broken when round face bursts in panting. "Aizawa wants to see you all!"
*Aizawa Pov*
I read the paper aloud to the huge group of problem children in front of me. It's just over half of my class. I don't want to have to tell them this. This will crush them. They deserve to know though. " 3 broken ribs, 1 rib punctured a lung, long gashes on sides, small to large cuts all over body, different sized scars all over body, fractured skull and jaw, 3 bones broken in het left arm, a bruised windpipe, massive bruises all over body, minor concussion, dehydration, starvation, a infected cut on left leg, fractured foot bone, cracked hip, and-and." I pause. I shouldn't say this. I shouldn't, but I need to. "And evidence of self harm."
* bakugou Pov*
"Cracked hip, and-and" the damn teacher paused closing his eyes for a brief second. It must be bad. The tension in the air gets even more tense. The sleeping bag takes a breath. "And evidence of self harm." SELF HARM?! CUTTING?! SHE CUT?! There is a brief moment of silence and some of the extras are crying silently. "S-she cut?" The damn nerd asks. There is a pause. The sleeping bag nods. The nerd grabs one of his wrists and runs a thumb across his wrists absent mindedly. I remember seeing his arms bandaged and Aizawa telling me he briefly self harmed. He quit though. It was only that one time shortly after I got kidnapped and things were the worst they possibly could've been.I sigh and the nerd looks at me. He realizes he is rubbing his wrists and drops in his lap and mouths 'sorry' I shake my head. " I know this is a lot to take in, but I'll take it in in your dorms. Class will be cancelled tomorrow. Deku, bakugou can you stay a moment?" I nod. The nerd says nothing.
* Aizawa Pov*
When I ask the problem children to stay bakugou while deku just stares at me. When it is only the 3 of us in the room I sigh. And say " Nezu would like you two to watch over the girl. You will be excused from class while she is in the infirmary room. " Bakugou gives me an irritated look. " When will she wake up?" Deku asks. It startles me. "Recovery Girl said anywhere between 3 days and 2 weeks." I look down. I should have known something like this happening in this 'perfect hero society.' I should have been able to help her sooner. "You may go now. I'll tell the others where you are. Call me immediately if she wakes up." They nod and walk out.
*Deku Pov*
This girl is hurt. we didn't know about it. This is our fault this is- my thought are cut off when kacchan elbows me. " I know what your thinking and your wrong. It's who over did this to her's fault. Not yours and certainly not mine." I grin at him and he scoffs at me. He's right. We will arrest who ever did this to the girl. We will help her too! Kacchan turns away. We reach the infirmary doors and we enter
* Bakugou Pov*
I open the door. The nerd hesitates for a moment. I turn back to him. And he is staring at the ground. "Come on nerd. How are we supposed to help her if you can't even enter her room?" He looks up and gives me a weak smile and I flash one back. I turn back to the infirmary. "Ah! There you youngsters are! Nezu told you were her to watch over the girl." Recovery Girl said. I nod. "she's over there! Far bed in the left." Recovery Girl said leaving the room. I walk to the girl and I see her on the bed. She is now in white clothes. There are bandages all over her body and the heart monitor to her right beats at a steady pace. There is a bandage over the left side of her face. The report said nothing about that. What happened? I took a seat to her right. I cross my legs and arms and put my head against the wall. I close my eyes and take a nap.
*Deku Pov*
The moment we get near her bed, kacchan took a quick glance at her and took a seat to her right and took a nap. I sigh and take a stool and sit on her left. I take out my notebook and start writing. It's a out an hour later that the heart monitor starts getting faster. I look up from my notes. Her hand twitches and the heart monitor gets faster still. I throw my notebook at kacchan in frustration and pull out my phone and I try to enter Aizawa's number with my trembling hands while kacchan holts up hands popping, scanning the room. I finally enter Aizawa's number as the heart monitor reaches 140 bpm.
*bakugou Pov*
I am awakened to something being thrown at me. I jolt up and activate my quirk and quickly scan the room. My gaze falls on the nerd frantically trying to dial someone's phone number. I hear rapid beeping and realize it the heart monitor. It's going 140 bpm. The nerd finally enters the phone number and he holds it to his ear. His gaze locks with mine. I hear ringing and then a familiar tired voice.The nerd waits a second before saying in a shaky voice. " H-hello." There is a pause. "N-no. But she will soon-" Pause. "No! It's-its just the heart monitor is going insane." Another pause. " Uh- 146 bpm." He says checking the machine again.A pause and a very audioble yell of "WHAT?!" roars from the sleeping bag and the nerd pulls the phone away from his ear and leans away from it with a grimace on his face. After a moment he puts it back to his ear. "Alright. See you soon." He hangs up. The heart monitor makes no sound for a moment and we both whisk our eyes to the monitor. Then the girls eyes burst open.
*Ayame pov*
I fling my eyes open and throw my hands out over my head to protect myself. I draw my knees in cowering away from the attack that never comes. I am panting and I see movement to my left. I flinch back. I see the greenete to my left and the pissed off blonde to my right. The greenete takes a step towards me and I lean away. I look around. A hospital. Great. I lift a hand to the left side of my face. Bandaged. Good. The door flys open. I snap my gaze to the spot and see the adult male with the white scarf. I sigh a quiet relief.
*Bakugou Pov*
The machine pauses and I snap my gaze to the monitor. The girls eyes fly open and she quickly throws her arms over her head and draws her knees in. She is gasping for air and her eyes are closed. She seemed to be expecting a hit that never comes. When she realized this she drops her hands. The damn nerd reaches a hand out to her and looks like he wants to say something, but he drops his hand when she flinches away from him. She glances at me guickly. The nerd takes a step towards her and she leans away. The door flys open and sleeping bag enters. The girl gives a quiet sigh when she sees it's not who she's expecting. "Problem child! What's the- " sleeping bag cuts off at the flinch the girl gives at the words ' problem child' Sleeping bag looks at her and says "oh."
*Ayame pov*
"Problem child! What the-" the male cuts off when he sees me. Those words. 'problem child.' they remind me of when my uncle tells me I'm nothing but a problem. I flinch involuntarily. "Oh." The adult says. All three of them look at me. I look down and fidget with my hands. I'm in trouble. I am a burden. I wasted their time caring for me and now they are mad. The adult takes a step forward and I stop fidgeting with my hands. I quickly look up at him. He crouches so he is at my eye level. I look away. I jerk my head when he raises a hand. He puts it on my hands. This makes me unable to move them. He speaks softly and it startles me. He must be really mad if he isn't yelling. "Are you alright?" He asks me. I pause thinking. Should I lie? 'never let them know. ' I wince and I answer the man. "Yeah." Lies. My voice is hoarse like it's always been. I need water but I'm afraid to ask for it. The greenete leaves. The male stands up and goes to the angry blonde. They say something that I can barely make out. " Food.....other.......shinso...... fine." The blonde stands and leaves too. The greenete enters as the blonde leaves and the blonde gently pushes the greenete who sticks his tongue out. The greenete hands me a bottle of water. I take it and open it. The ridges dig into a cut an my hand and I hiss in pain. I quickly look up expecting them to be mad at me but they aren't. The greenete takes the bottle saying "here" and opens it for me. I take it and take a sip.
*Aizawa Pov*
The girl is skitish. When the problem child hands her a bottle of water she tries to open it and hisses in pain when it digs into her hand. She looks up at us in fear like we might punish her for making sound from her pain. That's probably exactly what happened. Shes probably been punished for making sound when she was in pain. The problem child seems to notice this and gently takes the bottle from her and opens it saying "here" and she takes it and takes a sip.I go to the problem child and say "I'm going to get Recovery Girl. Stay with her. Bakugou went to tell the others shes wake and to get mina and shinso. He will be back soon." The problem child nods and I leave. I swear to God I will rip apart who ever did this to this child.
*Deku Pov*
I sit on the chair kacchan had vacated. The girl sets the bottle down and looks for her bag. " It's on the table." I say gently and she jumps. She turns around and gasps in pain. I get ready to stand up but she sits still for a moment and then stands up. She goes to the other side of the bed. She takes the rugged bag and sits on the bed.She takes the nearly empty roll of bandages. She sets it down on the bed. She takes her left arm, which had started to bleed through the bandages. She unwrapped her arm. The cut is now visible. She takes the roll of bandages and before I can do or say anything she wraps her arm as perfectly as Recovery Girl had it.I don't think that it is normal to be able to do that. Even I can't, with my broken bones. I struggled with it. How many times had she done this? She finishes off the roll of bandages and just as she was about to get up and throw the bloody bandages away mina throws open the door and the girl jumps. Mina nearly yells "hello!" When she enters. Shinso is behind her looking tired. He had his hands in his pockets and is slouched forward slightly. Kacchan enters next. He also has his hands in pockets. His is slouched over too with a scowl on his face.Mina sees the girl once more and hesitates. Shinso takes a seat on a chair not far from the end of the bed. Kacchan sits in the chair beside me. The girl has been watching us closely ever since the group entered. Her hand shakes as she looks at the door. Mina takes a seat next to shinso."Why am I here?" Shinso asked in his tired drawling voice." Because the damn sleeping bag needs you here to interrogate the damn girl." Kacchan growls at him. The girl turns to look at him. She turns back to the wall and her head drops.
*Ayame pov*
When the groups enters there is a purple haired boy that looks like a younger version of the adult male with scarfs and the pink skinned girl from earlier. " Why am I here?" The purple haired boy asks as he takes a seat in one of the chairs at the foot of the bed. "Because the damn sleeping bag needs you here to interrogate the damn girl." The angry blonde growls back at the purple haired guy. The purple haired boy looks at me and shrugs. I can tell there is a bit of fear in his eyes, although other then that his face is emotionless. I turn to the blonde in shock and dismay. They want to interrogate me? That means I'm in trouble. I'm just a burden like everyone else says I am. I did something bad and they are interrogating me like a criminal. I turn back to face the wall and I drop my head. The pink skinned girl speaks up. "Ok. No need to exaggerate Bakugou. It's not interrogating. she's not a criminal. It's more of a meeting. We are getting to know her. He's here in case she can't control her quirk since Aizawa can't." I look at the pink skinned girl in gratitude. She turns to me and grins. I stare at her. Then what she says sinks in. ' in case she can't control her quirk.' that word. Quirk. I stiffen and look away. The greenete is staring at me closely. Does he know?
*deku Pov*
The girl looks at mina. She looks at man in gratitude and then she suddenly looks angry and scared and turns away, her form stiffening. Was she upset about the topic of quirks? Could she possibly be....quirk less?There is a moment of silence before mina asks a question. "What your name?" The girl hesitates before answering.
*Ayame pov*
The pink skinned girl asks me a question. "Whats your name?" I hesitate. Should I tell them? I decided to. I think I can trust them. They have been nice to far. I just can't tell them...... everything. "Ayame." I say. My voice is low but they seem to hear it. "Ayame. That's a nice name. What about your quirk? What's your quirk? I bet it's cool like your name." The pink skinned girl says leaning forward. This time I don't answer. They can never know. If they know they will hurt me too. They will do what my uncle did to me. They won't accept me. They will- I'm cut off when the greenete speaks to me. " You are quirk less aren't you?" He asks with a surprising gentleness. The blonde turns his head to look at the greenete beside him. I say nothing. The purple haired boy speaks this time. "That must suck. You must be bullied a lot at school huh?" I nod. Its a lie. Sorta. The greenete sighs and slumps back in his chair. He mutters something along the lines of "I know it's uncommon but I thought I was the only one in this town that was quirk less." I perk up. Was he quirk less too? How did he handle the beatings? The rude words? He didn't have bandages everywhere though. He looked like he trusted everyone in this room. " Are you quirk less too?" I ask and he looks at me. He shakes his head aggressively. "No! No! Not anymore I got a quirk from someone else and now I'm a hero and...." He starts muttering and the blonde smacks him across the head. The greenete and the the blonde start arguing and the greenete gives up when the blondes hands start popping. I look away again. I'm the only one. I should never had thought different. The greenete looks at me noticing my silence. "Was this done to you because your quirk less?" I pause and nod. The silence is a threatening thing. The blonde looks like he wants to explode the whole building and the greenete looks like he wants to strangle someone. " What happened? Do you want to talk about it?" The pink skinned girl asked. I shake my head and they accept that. I think. " What are your names?" I ask. My voice is hoarse but not as much as it has been. " Oh! Whee have my manners gone? The purple haired kid is Shinso Hitoshi. His quirk is minedwashing. I'm mina ashido. My quirk is acid. The grumpy Pomeranian is Kastuki Bakugou. His quirk is explosions. The greenete haired bean is Izuku Midoriya his quirk is one for all." I nod and take in the names. In the next 10 mins I will have them memorized. I look back at the wall. I sigh quietly. The blonde-who I now remember is named Bakugou- asks me a question. " Hey extra! What happened to your face?" His voice has a slight tone of irritation and I jump. He must be mad at me. I just shake my head. Don't let them know. Never let anyone know. I will have to find a way to conceal it somehow. Bakugou grunts and leans back in his chair. I don't see it but I hear it. I have very good hearing. The adult male opens the door and I turn my head to look at him. He looks tired. He looks like he wants to take a nap. I feel the same. "Aaaaannnnd, that's our teacher. Aizawa Shota. We just call him sensei. His quirk is erasure. He erases the quirk of any person when he looks at them! It's so cool!" Mina says. Mmmmh. So the adult male was the erasure hero, Eraserhead. I nod. "I know you. Your Eraserhead." I say. He looks at me and puts his chin in his scarfs like he is hiding his smile. Aizawa turns to Izuku. "Problem child. All might wants to see you. He is in Nezu's office." Izuku bolts up and says "Thank you Sensei!" And runs out. I watch him with curiosity. I stand and everyone turn to watch me. I stretch. My shirt lifts slightly and reveals a bandage under my shirt. Mhm. I remember how I got that cut. I put my arms down. Aizawa glares at me and I turn my eyes away. Was he mad at me?
*Aizawa Pov*
This kid certainly wasn't ok. She stood and I looked at her. She was taller then Deku but only slightly shorter then Bakugou. She stretched, raising her arms above her head and closing her eyes. Her shirt lifted slightly and it revealed a huge portion of her stomach that was bandaged. She was covered in bandages, but for some reason she didn't seem to be in any pain. She looked like she didn't even mind her injuries. She stopped stretching and she dropped her arms. She looked at me. I was pissed and must have been glaring because she quickly looked away with a quilty look. I noticed over the next couple of minutes that she never looked straight into someones eyes. She always looked at their feet or directly at the ground. She certainly wasn't ok. She sometimes stuttered when talking to the other problem children when one of them spoke with too much emotion. She would flinch at loud noises or when someone moved unexpectedly. At one point Deku pissed Bakugou off by muttering and Bakugou made an explosion next to Deku and Ayame jumped and turned to quickly look at the explosive blonde. After about half an hour of the group talking and getting to know the girl I suggested a different idea. " As long as it's ok with you Ayame, do you want to Yeahmeet the other students?" She looked at me and gave me a shy nod. She was looking at my feet, not my face. Mina jumps up yelling "Yeah!" Ayame looks a her for a brief second, then the ground. She smiles at the pink haired girl and they walk out. Bakugou is yelling in the back. I shake my head. This is gonna be a lot of work, and someone is getting their ass thrown in jail.
*Ayame pov*
When Aizawa suggests that I meet the others I agree. I know that this wasn't everyone I met in the alley so I know that there were more people, but I didn't know how many more there was to meet. What i didn't expect was the 17 people in the common room who looked at me when I entered. I froze and took a step back. Bakugou and Izuku looked at me when I stepped back. I scanned the room. I recognized the red head with the sharp teeth, and the blonde with the lightning bolt in his hair. I didn't know anyone else. The red head and the lightning bolt blonde walked up to me. I looked at the ground as taught. The red heard spoke first. "Hey! I'm Eijiro Kirishima! Call me Kirishima. What's your name?" I hesitated. Why was he being kind? He didn't know me. I stutter. There are 22 pairs of eyes on me and I'm starting to panic. "A-a-ya-mme." I say fiddling with my hands. Kirishima notices and takes a step back. "Nice to meet you Ayame. This is Denki Kaminari. He is my friend. So is the angry Pomeranian over there." He points to Bakugou and I nod still staring at the ground. "Yeah. That's Kastuki Bakugou. " I say and the shark toothed boy looks at me in confusion. Bakugou also looked at me. "W-what? I just remembered his name from earlier. M-mina told me." I say looking from the blonde and the red head. Bakugou grunts and looks away. Kirishima grins. " So you've met Mina and Bakubro huh? That's cool. Do you want to meet the others?" I look around. I nod.
*Bakugou Pov*
"Nice to meet you Ayame. This is Denki Kaminari. He is my friend. So is the angry Pomeranian over there." Says the damn red head. Before I can yell at him for calling me a damn angry Pomeranian the damn girl speaks up. This til she doesn't stutter. She seems more confident then she has been since entering this damn room. She looked panicked when she saw how many people were in the common room. "Yeah. That's Kastuki Bakugou." She says. I pause. How did she remember my name? The alien told her that nearly 45 minutes ago. She just met me, so how the hell did she remember my name?! She even REMEMBERED MY WHOLE NAME! WHAT THE HELL?! I look at her and so does Crappy Hair. She panics under our gaze. "W-what? I just remembered his name from earlier. M-mina told me." She stuttered. She started to twist her hands together like the damn nerd does when he is stressed. The shark grinned gently at her. He had also noticed she wasn't very comfortable with everyone in the room. He then took a step back. "So you've met Mina and Bakubro huh? That's cool. Do you want to meet the others?" The damn shark asks the girl. At this point I've turned around and went to the kitchen. I was damn hungry. I turn back around, a bowl of leftovers in my hand to see the girl look around nervously looking at all the extras who where watching her. She nodded. I grunt and head to my dorm. It's about 4 in the afternoon now, but I don't want to have to talk to the damn extras.
*Kirishima Pov*
The girl is very nervous and uncomfortable around the dozens of people around her. When I asked if she wanted to meet the others she hesitated looking around. I decided that she was nervous because of what ever had happened to her and I decided to give her space. Bakubro had left with a bowl of food from the fridge and was now no where to be seen. I turned to the girl who was shrinking away from Momo who was starting to approach her. I sigh. Of course Momo wouldn't realize that the girl was near a panic attack. I step in between them. "Momo. Please just wait. You'll be introduced soon, but she is nervous so please give her some time." Momo stops and the girl looks up at me with gratitude in her eyes.
