'Why did he start interrogating me about my quirk?' You thought, before reaching your hand up into the sunlight that shone through the window, & analyzing it carefully. 'I didn't kill that guy... did I?'

You rolled over in bed to face the wall, comfortably tucking your arm underneath a pillow before closing your eyes. Immediately, flashbacks of the battle between All Might and All for One began to replay in your head.

'And that Nomu... what exactly happened to it?'

As you lay there, trying your best to recall everything that happened within that specific time period, nothing came to... Sadly, your mind was completely blank. It was almost as if you had no memory of the incident, whatsoever.

"(Y/n)! I'm going out for a while, I'll be back later!" Your mom called from downstairs.

"Okaaaay. See you!" You replied.

"And remember. No boys while I'm gone!" She teased before leaving, shutting the door behind her.

'And when will that end...' you thought, dreading the idea of having your mom tease you about boys for the rest of your high school years.

"Mom's been acting pretty weird too..." you mumbled, staring up at the Kakashi poster that clung to the ceiling. If you recalled the last few days correctly, you noticed that she was being more distant and started doing way more housework than usual, as if she was trying to distract herself. Another thing that you couldn't ignore, was the way she was constantly talking on the phone, or how she would suddenly zone off into space sometimes. 'Whats with the sudden personality change?' You wondered, before peeping out the window to watch her drive off.

"It's not menopause, that's for sure..." you exhaled before relaxing against the backboard of your bed.

Once again, your room was quiet, the only sound you could hear was the furnace switching on. Then, the familiar sound of your phone vibrating caught your attention. You glanced at the screen and saw the contact name "Kiri-Pima🥺❤️" appear. Immediately, you grabbed your phone and read the message.

"Hopefully nothing is too chaotic... especially with our group." You sighed, smiling at the thought of living with the fascinating bunch. Just when you were about to message Kirishima back, the doorbell rang. To your surprise, you peeked out the window & saw Izuku! Your face brightened the moment you recognized his green curly hair.

Quickly, you text Kirishima "BRB" before jumping out of bed and dashing down the stairs to open the door. "Hey Izuku, it's been a minute!" You greeted, giving the boy a friendly smile.

"(Y-Y/n)! H-Hi- *ahem*... Hey." The shy freckled boy stuttered, before clearing his throat.

"What's up. Where did you come from?" You questioned, peeking outside to see if he was with anybody else.

"Oh... Well, I just happened to be jogging by & thought I would check in on you." He smiled, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ahh, I see... Well, I'm doing fine. Gotta admit though, it gets boring staying alone with your thoughts 24/7 with no one to really talk to." You chuckled, forcing an awkward smile.

'Way to over share, (y/n)...'

"Yeah, I get what you mean..." Izuku frowned, before quickly shaking his head and changing his response. "I-I mean... *ahem* Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

"Oh yeah I'm fine. It's okay, don't let me interrupt your jog." You lied, not wanting to feel like a burden to Izuku. You wandered your gaze in a nervous panic, and he couldn't help but notice.

"(Y/n)." He spoke before grabbing your face, making you look right at him. "I'm gonna ask you again, and I want you to be honest... Are you okay & do you need anything?" He repeated. You looked straight into his eyes and immediately knew that he wasn't going to budge until everything was fine with you.

The warmth of his hands cupping your face gave you a sense of comfort that you couldn't dismiss. So without much hesitation, you looked to Izuku with a defeated expression and asked him if he wanted to come inside & sit down for a while.

"S-Sure." He blushed before walking in and kicking off his shoes. Izuku followed you to the living room and took a seat in an arm chair.

"So, what's been bothering you lately?" He questioned, waiting for you to open up.

"Everything..." You sighed, plopping onto the separate sofa and covering your eyes with your arm. Izuku's brows furrowed at your response, though he remained silent and waited for you to continue.

"I don't know... it's just..." you paused. "Why did this have to happen..." Your voice cracked, as you began to remember the trauma. "We were just going to a training camp... so why..."

"(Y/n)..." Izuku muttered. The moment you lifted your arm away from your face, Izuku couldn't help but to try and study your expression. Realizing how distressed you truly were, began to sadden him.

"And to think, that this is ONLY our first year?? I mean... I knew U.A would be crazy, but I didn't think it'd be Villian-kidnapping-student crazy!" you rambled on as your emotions began to ignite.

"You know... I was fine with dealing with the annoying bOy PrObLemS and having a couple of wild friends who got me to do crazy things. But fighting against a HUGE STEROID-FREAK AND getting SWEPT UP by a FREAKING NOMU that later on MyStErIoUsLy DIES, ALL IN THE SAME WEEK?!! You dramatically paused before sitting up. "NO WAY JOSÈ, NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR!" You shouted, dramatically smashing your fist down on the coffee-table, before getting up from your seat to walk around in a ranting-rage.

"OH! And LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE WEIRD ASS DREAMS OR FLASHBACKS OR WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WERE!" You stomped as you waved your hand around in all types of gestures.

'Boy problems?? Flashbacks?? What is she talking about?' Izuku worried, continuing to stand by and watch your breakdown in fear. At this point, he was unsure of what to do. The fact that your mood was changing almost every 5-seconds shocked him. 'I've never witnessed anyone breakdown like this before... I have to calm her down somehow.'

"OH, OH ANNNNDD, the FACT THAT I MIGHT HAVE KILLED A MAN!!" You laughed, before weakly dropping down on your knees and hiding your pained expression. You held your eyes shut, trying to prevent any tears from forming, but the only thing that did was irritate & burn them.

'No no no no. I am not crying. Not today, not now. Nope. Stop it. Stay back!' You internally debated while trying your best to keep the rest of your emotions intact. Unfortunately, nothing helped, as that low, depressing feeling began to settle in once again.

Then, before your mind could detach any further into the dark, you were suddenly enclosed in a warm embrace. You snapped open your eyes and immediately recognized the colour of Izuku's shirt.

"It's okay, (Y/n).. Just let it all out." He assured, bringing you closer into his embrace, while calmly caressing your head. Naturally, your heart skipped a beat at his act of kindness. Soon enough, the emotional dam that you've continued to build over time would come crashing down.

Normally, you would've waited until no one was around to cry, but this time was different. This time, you had someone who was willing to help you. This time you were with someone who cared.

After a while, you finally started to calm down. "Feeling better?" He questioned wholeheartedly, keeping you wrapped in his embrace.

You pulled yourself away slowly and continued to hide your face, before grabbing and blowing into a tissue.

"ughh.. Sorry you had to see that..." you humoured, wiping away the excess tears that clung to your face.

"No need to apologize. I was prepared. Sorta..." Izuku grinned, looking off to the side.

You smiled back and stayed quiet for a brief moment before clearing your throat and speaking up. "Do you have to get going any time soon?" You pondered.

"Not really." He replied. "Besides, you still haven't told me what's wrong." He lightheartedly chuckled.

"Yeah, you're right." You exhaled tirelessly. "Okay then..." Suddenly, you stood up from the floor and reached down to help Izuku up. "Let's sit on the couch. This is gonna be a loooooong venting session."

Back at the Police Department...

"So deputy. How did the interrogation with (L/n) go?" Questioned a fellow senior officer as he sipped his coffee in the lounge.

"It went well. Could've got some more information, but she could only recall so many things..." replied the officer who interrogated you a few days ago.

"Ah I see. What kind of information exactly?" The senior officer continued to ask, putting down his coffee to take a bite of a donut.

"Mmm.. Just things involving the recent villain attack and such..." retorted the younger officer, keeping his focus on the book that he held.

"Right, right..." the senior officer nodded. "How about the case with Muscular? Get any new information?"

The young officer twitched his brow in annoyance, as the senior officer's prying questions irritated him. Despite feeling irritated, he kept his calm.

"Ahh... It's still a working progress. Although, with the information (L/n) provided, we might be able to clear this case quicker than we think." He shrugged before closing up his book and looking at the clock.

"That's good to hear. Well, I wish you the best of luck with this case deputy." The senior officer grinned.

"Thank you, sir. Have a good day." The young officer bowed before getting up to leave.

"See you around!" The senior officer called out, shortly before the door closed.

'Sure ya will...'

The officer walked to a back room and went outside through the exit door. There, he stepped into a back alley. Suddenly, a distant shouting was heard coming from the officer's pocket.

[*Toga... Toga-chan... TOGA-CHAN!*]

"Yeah, Twice, I'm here..." Answered the officer, as he began to melt away, revealing the villain known as Toga.

[*DIDJA DO IT?! TELL ME?! Did you get the information like you were told?*]

"Of course I did..." snickered the high school student as she threw away the disguise she was wearing. "I wouldn't of been speaking to you now if otherwise."

[*NICE! GET YER ASS BACK NOW!! Shigaraki is gonna be glad to hear this.*]

...

"And right before my fight with Elec Plant, I suddenly saw a kid. That's when the hallucination or whatever it was started... I was in the same forest from my dream..." you explained, beginning to trail off while you spoke to Izuku about the dreams you've been having. Izuku noticed your sudden detachment from reality and was quick to question you.

"What? What is it?"

You continued to gaze outside the window and spoke in a low tone. "Now that I actually take the time to think of it... the kid in my dream didn't look much different from Kota... Why is that?" Suddenly, you snapped your head to Izuku with a questioning expression, and waited for him to answer like he had a conclusion in the first place. The sudden movement caused him to flinch surprisingly.

'Kota??' He wondered, drifting into thought. 'This doesn't make sense... why would (Y/n) see someone who resembles Kota if she hasn't even met him before?' Izuku brought his hand up to his chin, and began to think. 'The two of them don't seem to have much in common or look alike so I don't think they'd have any kind of relation... but then again, I don't know much about (Y/n)'s family history, other than the fact that she's been living here with her mom...'

"Hey, Izuku. You're mumbling to yourself again." You lightly pushed, bringing the boy out from his thoughts.

His eyes widened with surprise. "I-I apologize!" He frantically stuttered.

"It's fine... But, what were you thinking? You looked deep into thought." You leaned back, kicking your feet up to rest on the coffee table.

"Well... I was thinking the same thing you were about Kota. But..." he stopped. His sudden pause intrigued you.

"But??" You egged. Izuku glanced over to you as his lip curved into a nervous frown. He remained silent and took another moment to think.

"Well, it's an absurd conclusion.. but is there any chance that you could've possibly met him long ago sometime during your childhood?? Maybe before you moved here? How old were you when you first moved?" Izuku questioned. You paused and zoned out trying to find the answer to his questions.

'Before I moved?'

"I... I'm not sure..." you muttered. Izuku had a puzzled looked on his face after hearing your response. "What do you mean?" He replied.

"Before I moved here... I don't remember anything about my past before moving." You muttered, looking to him with a concerned expression.

'Why do I not remember what happened before I moved??'

"Uhhh... Let me ask you something easier... How old were you when you first met Kacchan & I?" He added, hoping that would break down things.

"I think I was 6? I already had my quirk... I know that because I remember my first time splashing Katsuki & his followers for trying to bully you." You replied.

"I see..." he blushed. "Do you have any old pictures? Maybe some family photos?" He questioned, before becoming wide-eyed & awkward. "N-Not that I'm trying to invade your privacy or anythi-"

"Izuku, it's okay. I know what you meant." You assured, before looking up at the ceiling. "Mm... No, if I remember correctly, my mom wanted a completely new start so she left the previous photos behind... Sounds kind of suspicious now that I say that out loud."

"That is suspicious." Izuku agreed, bringing his hand to his chin once again. The two of you sat in silence and sorted out your thoughts.

'Why do I have no memory of my past?'
'How come we have no old photos?'

'None of this is making any sense!'
'Why is this happening to (Y/n)? Does she suffer from short-term memory loss?'

Not too long after, was your silence disturbed by the sound of All Might shouting "A Text Message is Here!" The both of jolted up at the sudden noise.

Izuku reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone. He took a moment to read his text before turning his attention back to you.

"Hey (Y/n), I hate to leave you so suddenly after everything, but my mom just messaged me... I would stay longer but, you know how it is..." He scratched, looking a bit guilty.

"Oh... No, it's fine. I understand. My ma is probably on her way back anyways. Besides, I have a lot of questions for her." You assured before bringing your hands together like Mr. Burns.

"I bet you do.." he sweat, giving an awkward smile as he kicked on his shoes. You walked with him to the door and got ready to part ways. "One last thing. If you ever need anything or someone to talk to, I'm always here for you." He mentioned, changing his awkward smile into a warm, reassuring one.

You smiled back before thanking him & saying goodbye. After closing the door, you couldn't help but to lean against it and slowly melt to the floor, while clenching your heart as if it were to beat out of your chest.

'He's too kind! My icy little heart can't take much more!' You squeezed before "fangirling" and hiding your face between your knees. After taking a moment to lose your shit, you stood up and looked around at your empty house. 'I should probably tidy it up a bit... ew, especially that tissue wtf? Why didn't I get rid of it right away?'

...

"Alright, so next on the list... it looks like Midoriya's place is pretty close by. (L/n) too."

"Ah, about that, Aizawa. I was wondering if we could split up since they live so close to each other?" Questioned All Might, as the two pros left the Bakugo home.

"I don't know... Will you be alright?" Replied Aizawa, before hopping into the car.

"I'll be fine. Just drop me off at Midoriya's, you can send the driver for me once I'm done." The retired hero waved off in a reassuring manner.

Aizawa sighed at his request but didn't deny it. So, he dropped him off. "Are you sure you'll be alright in your own?" He asked once again, looking out for his fellow colleague.

"Yep!" All Might smiled, giving him a thumbs up. "It'll be bad if we can't visit all the families before the day is out, right? At this rate we'll miss dinner time! We can't have that, now can we?" He added. "I can handle things here, so you should hurry on ahead to young (L/n)'s. I'm sure you have a lot more to explain to her." All Might scratched.

"Hmm... I suppose. I'll see you later then." Aizawa replied before rolling up the window and driving off.

...

"So... did you find out anything useful?" Questioned Shigaraki, as his chillingly sinister voice echoed beneath the shadows.

"I wouldn't come back just to be decayed, now would I?" Giggled Toga as she skipped into the villains temporary hideout. She took a step into the light and pulled out a document that contained your personal information and quirk factors. "Ta-daaa!" She revealed.

"Wahhh?! You really got them! Toga-chan, you're so cool! MARRY ME PLEASE!" Complimented Twice.

"Don't get too excited... We're still not a hundred percent sure if the brat can even manipulate blood... Reminder to you numbskulls that this is still just a conclusion." Dabi interfered, bringing the mood down.

"Aww. Don't be such a spoil-sport, Beef-Jerky! If she can't blood bend, we'll just kill her!" Toga teased, as she looked at Dabi from the reflection of her knife.

"Beef-Jerky? That's a new one..." he retorted in annoyed manner.

"Be quiet. Your guys' bickering is annoying..." complained Shigaraki before reading through the documents. While skimming, something about your history caught his eye. "She lives with a single mother, huh?" He mumbled.

"HAH? I thought you said her parents were dead?!" Questioned Twice, popping up from behind Shigaraki.

"They are... this woman isn't her real mother." Confirmed Shigaraki.

To be continued...
