Strength

What is strength?

What determines a persons power? Is it their mindset their talent their personality their experience their quirk?

Y/N has found herself thinking long and hard on this topic ever since the reveal of her quirk "Little King"

She looks up at the plan white wall and stands up in her hospital gown looking outside the glass as she sighs not seeing her family today either

Her quirk "Little King" is a quirk far too complex advanced and most importantly powerful, for any quirk specialists to understand.

It all began when she turned four years old and she went to the doctors to see if she had a quirk

Naturally she was very excited all her friends had gotten a quirk particularly her blonde haired classmate who seemed to have gotten a strong one.

Her parents were also looking forward to it considering their daughter had been wanting to become a pro hero for a long time

Contrary to popular belief she didn't idolize All Might like most children did her age but rather she idolized the Rabbit Hero Mirko

At her tender age the boys around her were not particularly fond of girls especially ones who were as timid as her. She was an easy target for them as she never fought back too scared and too weak.

For this reason she idolized Mirko a woman who's strength seemed to have no end and her accomplishments can be listed off for hours at a time

Seeing a woman, a girl one just like her being so amazing and so great, great enough to be a top 5 ranked hero made Y/N want to become like her

She thought about what quirk she would get on that day while walking to the doctors very excited and giddy as she was holding her parents hands tightly

She of course also thought about Mirko she wondered if she would ever become like her if she could even get close

Those thoughts were quickly interrupted when they arrived at his office

The procedure didn't have any changes from a regular check up at the beginning.

Near the end of when a regular scheduled check up would end the doctor asked Y/N to see if she feels anything and try and focus on the feeling if she does

Unfortunately the doctor was unable to help with this process as modern science hasn't  evolved enough to bring out a child's quirk forcefully unless an outside party has a quirk specifically for that use

However none such cases were discovered yet

Y/N nodded at the doctors words and focused on where she believed the quirk would be brought out, her heart

She focused on her heart and imagined it beating inside her chest behind her rib cage.

She then discovered an odd sensation coming from her heart it wasn't particularly painful nor was it pleasurable it was more like cold air hitting your skin

Then Y/N closed her eyes tightly and focused on that sensation believing it to be the key to unlocking her quirk

After about 30 seconds when Y/N believed her quirk to be active she frowned and swung her arms in the doctors direction in disappointment seeing as nothing happened

However just then the moment she swung her arms despite them having no contact with the doctor

The doctor just died. Right then and there he split in half and died instantly his internal organs spilling from either side of his body onto the floor as his blood splattered all over Y/Ns face

The young girl had no idea what happened nor did she even know what she just did was it her quirk? The doctors quirk maybe? She had no idea she couldn't think straight she was just frozen her eyes widening in shock as she stared at the gory mess of the doctor

After that she had no idea what happened she blanked out and woke up in a completely white room with only a bed and a phone on the wall which only works to call her parents and the person in charge of her cell

The only information that she received when she woke up was that she was being contained here for the foreseeable future, the doctor had died, the name of her quirk was called "Little King" and that if she activates her quirk again she will be treated as a hostile animal and will be immediately killed. After that she was left to her own devices

Since then she had been extremely bored, she was a child after all and Y/N had nothing to do except cry and call for her parents that never came no matter how many times she called

She screamed cried banged on the window and did everything she could but no one showed up no matter what

The only time she got any human interaction was when she was brought food and water but even then the server refused to speak only opening his mouth to announce her meal has been prepared

Y/N spent most of her time in this asylum crying. Cursing her quirk which was too powerful for her own good, and it made her sick. She kept thinking back to that day the day she saw a man get split right down the middle she saw absolutely everything.

She knew that she killed him and it was her fault she felt horrible, she had long accepted the fact that she had absolutely zero chance of ever becoming a hero but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart that maybe she would be let free and be able to pursue her passion

But that was wishful thinking

She realized that when she had seen her parents for the first time in months

When she saw her mother and father walking by her cell she thought they had finally come to see her, that they didn't forget about her

Y/N was very desperate she had no one for weeks on end and she loved her parents very very much so she was beyond excited to see them

However all Y/N saw when her parents looked down upon her was a look of disgust, a look of pity, a look of slight sadness and a look of revolt

She thought back to the hero's she looked up to. Mirko, All Might, Endeavor

She looked at them like they were idols like they were the pinnacle of what she should strive to become.

She never doubted them, not even a little bit

Until now

After seeing the look on her own parents faces she started to doubt the heroes she looked up to

"They saved everyone....i saw them save people..."

"They always come."

"Yes they always come, don't they?

"They're heroes right?"

"So they'll come rescue me..right?"

With nothing left to cling to not even the hope that her parents would return all she had was those she idolized those she loved but had never met only watching them from afar

She prayed and prayed to be rescued to be saved from this life of contempt. But no one came

Y/N was losing herself her young and tender mind was unable to handle all of this stress she needed something to cling to something to vent all of her deep rooted grief and sadness. But she had no one she only had the look of revolution on her parents faces 

In that very moment Y/N knew that if the heroes she loved so much wouldn't show up right then and there then would never show up

She gave up. With her mind being unable to handle the accumulation of stress and trauma she let everything out all her feelings of pure unadulterated rage sadness and hate all onto the world in order to cope with the amount of pain

She decided to let out everything on the world she was going to take everything that the world had given her and give it back it was as simple as that

She screamed she yelled and she cried

With a final ear screeching scream as her parents simply continued walking their tears going unnoticed by Y/N as she did the one thing she was forbidden to do since the moment she was instilled in this place

She focused her mind on that cold air that waved through her heart that day and she did it

Little King was activated

In an instant with every step Y/N took she shattered everything around her the entire building was crumbling not only that but the floor too holes were being dug by some invisible force into the ground endlessly. And everything around her was instantly destroyed

Including her parents

Without even looking at them she took another step and they both instantly blew up into tiny pieces

Alarms blared and rung in her ears for only a moment before they were instantly destroyed

Armed personnel came in and immediately started to shoot their rifles at Y/N

They had no effect. Their bullets were rendered useless and every single person that got within 2 meters of Y/N were instantly killed

In the next 2 seconds the entire building was turned to complete rubble and waste there was absolutely nothing left not even a single body could be seen

Then Y/Ns heart started to hurt terribly the pain was excruciating and she immediately turned off Little King

She coughed and spit out blood before clutching her heart and breathing heavily in pain

"Haaa....haaa" she breathes feeling the pain subside quickly

"I thought I was gonna die...."

"5 seconds have passed...." She says to no one in particular as she surveys her surroundings

She looks around seeing nothing but trees and land

It seems the asylum was in a remote location

She sighed as the previous feelings of hate and anger were now free from her body

She felt relieved very relieved. Killing all those people was refreshing for her it helped her calm down and it helped her get over the pain and stress that is why Y/N has no guilt for killing those people including her parents and the doctor

Quickly she thinks of a way to get to a nearby city

She thinks of Japan where she used to live before being sent here

She thinks of it long and hard wanting to get back as soon as possible

Then she feels the cold air over her heart once more and instantaneously she sees her self standing on a crosswalk bustling with people

Thanks to the extremely crowded area no one seems to have noticed her instant appearance

She takes a deep breath freeing herself from all thoughts that have plagued her mind looking up at the tall buildings and street lights

Her eyes stared at a screen displaying a campaign for All Might

She stared at it for a moment then her face revolted in disgust and she spat on the ground

"Staring at me from above watching as I struggle and suffer. You save many but just as many as you save there are those you disappoint those that look up to you"

"But you never came"

"You are no symbol of peace All Might"

"This world"

"Is anything but peaceful" Y/N says this to herself quietly before walking back to the bustling and bright city of Musutafu

Lions Heart,  End

I split this city into 2 parts and will be releasing them as separate chapters in a one shot format for the moment

I type fast so there's going to be slot of grammatical and typos lol I will revise and edit them with time
