I'm currently seven years old and extremely bored. Since I wasn't allowed to go outside I wasn't able to make any friends. Izuku is the only person who visits me. Although I do enjoy our time together I still need some human interaction with other people. I'll repeat the fact that I have no friends and am basically sheltered. I also do nothing but play video games and practice using my quirk which is basically my entire body. The only company I have is Izu-chan. Then one day

It was lunchtime and her mother noticed we were low on food.

"Oh dear, I forgot to buy groceries yesterday." My mother sighed.

"Hey, mom!" I shouted, getting her attention. "Let's go to the store together!"

My mom then entered a thinking pose seeming to debate about what she should do.

"Mama, can we please go out together? I never get to go outside and I really wanna go! I'm bored and stuck at home all day. I don't even get to go to school.

My mother sighed and kneeled down in front of me. "Sumiko, I want you to understand that people with mutant quirks like yours are often looked at differently and not in a good way. Me and your father have been trying to keep you from experiencing such things."

"I know mom. I understand you want to protect me but I'm a big girl now and I can take it. Besides, I'll never become a hero if I can't handle something like that." I said, giving her a warm smile.

My mother chuckled. "Well okay. Your father won't be back until later tonight so I guess we can sneak you out." She then put a finger on her lips as if telling me to keep quiet. "Don't tell your father though."

I rapidly nodded my head excited to go outside for the first time since I got reborn into this world.

"Go put on your jacket."

I jumped for joy and quickly ran to my room. I wore a rain jacket and boots. I usually wear them when Izuku is over since my mom said I can't be naked in front of boys even though I'm only mimicking the form of a female and I'm technically genderless. We then left the house and got into our family car. My mom drove us to the supermarket and upon arriving she told me not to touch anything. We then went inside the store and walked around. Finally being able to go outside was liberating and I missed seeing the outdoors a lot. I then spotted something that caught my eye and started running over to it,

"Sumiko no running!" My mother warned but it was too late as someone walked out from behind a shelf and I bumped into them knocking us both to the floor. I felt no pain but I wouldn't be able to say the same for the person I bumped into.

I quickly got up and held out my hand to them. "I'm sorry I bumped into you, are you okay?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm fine." The person who looked up to me was a girl around my age and dawned a head of messy pink hair with a pair of horns and pink skin. My eyes widened as I realized who the girl was. She grabbed my hand and I pulled her up.

"My name is Sumiko Tadaki. What is your name?"

"My name is Mina Ashido."

'I knew it!'

"Hey I know we just met but could you be my friend?"

"...Sure..." She said with a smile on her face

"Yay!!" I shouted happily

Shortly after our moms started talking and the two had exchanged numbers so we could keep in touch. We continued shopping as a group until we left the store. Me and Mina wanted to spend some more time together so we all agreed to meet again later today at a nearby playground.
