Fumikage Tokoyami was mearly 8 years old. He had been born with his quirk and mutation. The only times he had a problem with his quirk was at night. His mom noted that he would lose control of his quirk almost everytime he had a jarring nightmare.

His mom got him a night light to stay safe.

One afternoon, Fumikage's dad had gotten mad at him. Saying things that were uncalled for, stating how Fumikage should be just like him, shouting that his son isn't good enough.

Fumikage's mom ran into the house after work and jumped in between them, his dad soon stopping his rant about Fumikage. His mom held the hand of his father, who seemed like he was about to hit his kid. Quickly, she turned her head and told Fumikage to go to his room.

The bird headed boy ran to his room, tears rolling down his face. He rolled up in the corner, watching the sun set and listening to his parents through the thin walls.

At first, they were soft spoken. You could mistake it for mumbling. But then it slowly got louder, evolving into yelling. From the few words Fumikage could make out, his mom was trying to protect him.

Suddenly, a loud slap and a thud could be heard from the hallway. Then silence. A retched, horrible silence that made something snap in Fumikage. He felt anger surge through him. The sun having been set, the house dark, and his mind racing with his own angry thoughts. One voice stood out the most to him.

Revenge is best served cold in the darkest of nights, isn't it Fumikage?

The voice made Fumikage's eyes open wide as he felt pain surge through his body. His quirk, Dark Shadow, wrapped itself around Fumikage. His body was forcefully lifted, cold, and fighting back did nothing.

Dark Shadow burst through the door, growing bigger due to the darker and bigger corridors. Fumikage could barely see his fathers hatred filled eyes. Fumikage's mom stood beside him, holding her reddened cheek and eyes wide.

Pathetic.

"M-mama! It hurts!" Fumikage choked. His mom covered her mouth, looking around for her phone or a window nearby.

"God! You're so weak!" Fumikage's father shouted. "You can't even fight this? This is nothing compared to what I had to-" Dark Shadow grabbed Fumikage's father and threw him into a wall, screaming words Fumikage couldn't comprehend.

"Sweety! Everything will be alright!" His mom tried to reassure. But she was thrown too, harder and into the glass of the window.

The sight of his mom covered in cuts and blood, as what he could only hope is knocked unconscious. He would never forget the sight of what he believed he had caused.

"Mama!"

"Tokoyami!" Fumikage opened his tearful eyes, blinking rapidly due to the bright room and tears. Looking around, he recognized he was in the hospital, someone sitting next to him but the light made it hard to make out who.
