Chapter 3: Hope

"What did you say to me?" Uncle Zawa said, his scarf wrapped tightly around me. 

"I-I- I'm sooo sorry I didn't  mean it I swear it just slippppedddd! I promise it won't happen again. Dadzawa please let me goooo!" I stuttered out. Instantly I was let go and when I looked Aizawa was blushing and staring at me in awe while Aunt K looked as if her heart just stopped.

"What? Did I say bi-" I began.

"What did you call me?" Aizawa said in a hushed whisper. Aunt K placed a hand over his and looked between us worriedly. 

"I called you Dadzawa! It's... It's the nickname I gave you. I hope you don't mind I mean I'll stop calling you it if it makes you uncomfy. It's just I-you- I mean..." I began to stammer when Aunt K got up and hugged me. 

"Are you homesick baby? Do you miss your mom and da... dad." She stuttered out. I shook my head a bit. I was homesick but did I miss my abusive parents? No, no I did not. I said as much to them and they looked at me with concern.

"I mean I miss my siblings but do I miss them... I think the scars and burn marks covering my body would answer that question." I muttered out annoyed. 

"Do... do they hurt?" Aunt K asked as Aizawa put a hand on my shoulder.

"Do they bother you?" He asked. I shook my head and they gave me a look. 

"Not much. I mean one of the burns still bothers me but I've been..." I stopped short. I wasn't supposed to be using my healing power until I managed to fully control it. 

"Elektra." They said giving me hard looks. 

"I'm fine okay. Geez. You guys are starting to act like my parents. But then again my parents would've slapped me for revealing a weakness and mom would've made me fly as she attempted to zap me with lightening while dad would've made me fight him." I began to mutter, explaining in detail what exactly my parents would've made me do. I chuckled a bit at the memory and before I knew it I began to laugh hysterically. Aunt K and Aizawa were looking at me with horrified and concerned looks that made me laugh harder. 

"Oh my gosh you guys look like you just watched a really bad horror movie." I said, slapping the table and bending over. I quickly wiped at my eyes, hoping they confused the tears for joy instead of sadness. But they weren't stupid. 

"Elektra, no one should be treated like that." Aizawa mummered while Aunt K got up and squeezed me tight. 

"No it's what I deserved. I mean they were only trying to make me stronger. And if being stronger means I have to get hurt-" 

"No theres a difference between training and getting hurt in the process and traumatizing your child." Aizawa said, and I looked at him as he got up and hugged me.

"Guys its not that deep really. Kids are trained like that all the time. I mean maybe not the the extent my parents took it but still-" I began but they just squeezed me tighter. This felt... nice. I just sat there frozen for a mintue as they hugged me. I- My parents never hugged me before. Actually the closet I got to affection was my father punching me in the arm for being able to finally evade his attacks. After a moment I felt a tear slide down my eyes and I sniffed. They pulled back to look at me. 

"Hey kid you okay." Aizawa asked and I shook my head.

"Could you- could you both hu-hug me again. I..." I began but they told me to shush and hugged me. And for a moment I felt loved.

Aizawa's POV: 

After we released her we went back to eating, but I think we all felt a change in the atmosphere. I never realized how bad Elektra had it until she said what she said... She thought abuse was training... Me and Kehlani would have to fix that immediately. And what she called me, Dadzawa... I chuckled lightly at the name and they both looked at me with raised brows. I shook my head and smiled slightly at them. I was staring at Elektra intently while eating my food, noticing small similarities between us. Instead of enjoying our food, we inhaled it and we were both left handed. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was looking at my daughter. I kept hearing what midnight said that day we rescued her. 

*Flashback*

I was holding Elektra in my lap, her dead weight making it a bit difficult to move but I managed it as we ran down the steady stream of tunnels until we reached the car. 

"She has your nose Aizawa" Midnight said as we all piled into the car and pulled off. I looked down into Elektra's face and noticed for the first time her features. She was almost a spiting image of her mother. Beautiful brown skin that glowed with an inner light, frost blue eyes and slightly dark freckles. The only thing different was instead of blinding white hair she had flaming red hair like... Kehlani when she went into hero mode. She was all bronze and flame but if you looked closer you could... see me in her. The round set of her eyes and the slight button nose. Could it be... No no it couldn't. I looked up to find Kehlani's eyes waiting for me in the mirror. Her eyes met mine for a brief moment before looking away. She was keeping something from me and I was going to find out what it was. Just then Elektra began to stir and when she cracked her eyes open they were glowing pure white.

"Well hello there." She said and smiled a sweet sickly smile. 

*End of Flashback* 

I shook my head and felt Kehlani's hand rest ontop of my knee under the table. Without looking up she spoke to me, mind to mind.

You good? 

Yeah

You sure? You're watching Elektra like it'll be your last time seeing her. 

I'm just observing. 

Care to share your observations? 

We need to talk. 

She looked at me from the corner of her eye and we shared a brief look. She quickly looked away and pulled her hand back. I grabbed it and squeezed, trying to reassure her. I needed to know the truth because if I thought what I thought was true... that would change some things. 

Bakugo's POV

What was this girl doing to me? I asked myself I pushed myself up and down. I couldn't get outta my mind, couldn't stop hearing what she said. 

I'm a beast. I'm not human.

What the hell did she mean by that? She looked human, sounded human. The only beings I knew that were able to look human while being a beast were...no she couldn't be. 

You saw the way she changed. My subconscious said to me as I held myself in plank position. I wanted to know more about her quirk. 

You want to know more about her. My mind whispered to me smugly. I shook my head grabbed my phone. I swiped it open and looked for her number. Her's was the only one with a profile picture. 

Tch. I tapped on her number and began to call her.
