I groaned when i tried to open my eyes.

Why is it so bright in my room?

“Wait, this isn’t my room.” I yawned.

“Nope it is not.” a cheery voice was heard across from me. I looked up and saw a mouse…?

My expression must have said something because he chuckled, “Sorry for the confusion. Im Nezu! And the big people at the side of the room are some people you met last night.” I take a side glance to who he was referring to and I find the hero's Midnight and Eraserhead.

“Oh.” I say realizing what happened. “Are you all going to throw me in jail now?” I cock a brow and he does the same.

“Do you wish to go to jail?” he asked simply and I stay silent. “Well then I have a proposition for you!”

“Join U.A and learn to become a hero!”

“Let me stop you right there.” I interrupt him. “I just beat hero ass, and you want me to be one?!” I raise my voice. 

I see. You just want to keep a close eye on me since I’m a possible threat and a minor, huh? Is what I thought though.

“Correct.” he sips his tea. “Good to know we’re on the same page ‘Karma’.”

“Um. No. We are not. Why?”

He sips his tea for a minute and I glance over to Midnight and Eraserhead. They’re both watching in precaution. Aizawa isn’t paying much mind, but his hand is hovering over his goggles. And Midnight is watching my every move.

“You’re just a kid.” he lays out like it’s not obvious. “A kid with talent.”

“Thanks, and all but-”

“We already discussed over a meeting that we want you to use those powers for good. If you can lay a scratch on two pro heros at this age with no help of a quirk, you’ll be even more amazing in the future.”

Is he serious? Talent? My powers for ‘good’? This is such bs!

“Heros are anything BUT good. I don’t want to have a title as a hero.” I furrow my brows in frustration but he doesn’t give up.

“What makes you think that?” He smiles a small smile. My eye twitched and I stared down at my cuffed hands. My knee is fidgeting up and down and I click my tongue in annoyance.

“I know that heroes are selfish. We’re filled up with false hope that they’ll save the day and save everyone, but they don’t. They save themselves.” I state simply having a foul taste on my tongue and a twist in my stomach.

“Where did you get that?” He pushed further seeing my anxiousness. My bangs hovered my eyes and I blocked out everything in the room. I didn’t want to talk about this. The fidgeting only increased.

In my own little bubble, I heard a familiar faint crackling noise of a flame and a heartstopping scream roaring in my head.

“SHUT UP!” I all but screamed in the room. I made everyone jump. I even made myself jump. “You weren't there. You don’t know.” I shakily replied quietly still looking down at my lap.

I look up at his face again. My violet eyes stone cold, and trembling words slurring. “Do I look like a hero to you?! No!” I breathe hard. “I’m only a weapon. A killer.” I sigh tiredly feeling absolutely done with this.

“You look like a kid that needs someone.” I stop and turn to Eraserhead. He looks bored, but I can see the genuine look in his eyes and sincere tone. “You’re badass. But you’re a kid.”

I suck in a breath.

I blink once. Then twice.

“Gee. Thanks.” I chuckled genuinely and smiled at him. He looked away after seeing my expression, and Midnight jabbed his side stifling a laugh.

“Right. Well, you can go to jail.” Nezu cuts in and sets down his tea. “Or, you can go to school.” He looks up and smiles.

I paused thinking it over. The situation is getting complicated. I really didn’t sign up for this. But the only answer that can save my ass is obvious.

“Okay, Okay. I give!” i throw my cuffed hands in the air. “Man, this is so shitty.” I laugh dryly looking up to the two pro heroes beside me. “can you uncuff me?”

Midnight looks over to Nezu, and he nods. I feel relief wash over me when I’m not chained like an animal.

“Now that that problem is solved, a new one arises.” Nezu continues. “We’d like to know you’re real identity.”

I stop and look at him. I haven’t said my real name out loud in years. I was so afraid they would find me that I just went by Karma. With a shaky breath I closed my eyes, “My name is Emi Yin.” I opened my eyes and saw Midnight grinning wickedly so I took a few steps back.

“Your name is so cool! It matches you perfectly!”

Does she not know Yin means dark, cold, and broken? What part of that is cool?

“Now we just need to find your Yang! Your prince!” she shimmers in excitement and the entire room sweat drops. I ignore her and look towards Eraserhead.

“Can I go now?” I plead. I’m tired and emotional. I’m done.

“Not yet. Just one last question.” I nod towards him giving a ‘continue look’ “Why didn’t you use your quirk?”

I roll my eyes and smirk.

“I didn’t feel like having more blood on my hands.”

He raised a brow at my cocky reasoning but dismissed it. “Ok! Now that that’s settled, we’ll escort you to your new home and give you your school supplies and other necessities.”

This will be fun.
