"What do you mean you don't know anything about my quirk?"

Your voice makes your devastation clear to everyone in the truck. Rin frowns at the sound of your voice crack reaching his ears and Ryu looks back and forth between you and All For One. Annie covers her mouth with her hand as she gasps.

"You must know something. My father made you my teacher so that you could help me with my quirk. If you don't know anything about it, then how am I supposed to get stronger? How am I supposed to carry on my dad's legacy? My father is lost somewhere and my mom is dead-"

"I apologize, but there is more bad news for you, child." All For One moves closer to you to rest a hand on your head in a comforting manner.

His next four words make your heart stop.

"Itsuki is also deceased."

You whisper, body trembling against the steel door, "My dad...is dead?"

"Shortly after you were taken away by Endeavor, your father came to me that same night. He told me that they took you. Itsuki was crying as he explained what happened which shocked me, seeing a man who was once so powerful breaking down into tears. He wanted me to be on the lookout for you so I could take you back from the heroes. I asked him why he couldn't get you back himself. He said he didn't want to be around anymore after what happened to his wife."

All For One sighs before continuing, "The next day his body was found in a river by some fishermen. There was a countrywide news broadcast about the suicide of Itsuki. Everyone feared him. No one knew he was actually a caring man. Instead of trying to mourn, the heroes celebrated the event. One of the partiers being Endeavor himself."

Your hands clench into tight fists. You know the people in this truck don't know anything about what Endeavor did when you were a kid. Definitely, they all want to ask an abundance of questions that's inside their mind. But they hold their tongues in fear that this might be the wrong moment to ask.

Spinner hesitates slightly before asking a question, "Shadow, will you be coming with the rest of us to the base tonight?"

"No...I need to go back to Hawks house."

"Hawks house?" Rin questions.

"Ryu knows the address, I told him it so... he can give you the directions..."

"Tell me something." All For One looks down at you with a pitied smile on his face. "You went through the trouble of breaking me out of one of the most secure places in the world because you wanted information about your quirk. Now that I've revealed to you that I don't know anything about it, do you regret coming to save me tonight?"

"No." Your answer is quicker than he expected. You lazily shrug, not in the mood to care much about anything anymore. Now, you're completely lost in the world, so why should you care? "You may not be able to help me but Shigaraki needs you. There's a war happening between the League Of Villains and another villain group, the Rogue Alliance. Having your assistance will help him a lot."

He smirks.

"I wish I could help you but your father didn't explain much about your quirk, possibly because he was worried I'd spread the secret information. All I know is something you should know already; there's a goal you need to complete to unlock a new sub-quirk and-"

Your eyes widen. "I didn't know that. You're telling me that I could get another quirk?"

He nods, "If my memory is correct, you could get more than one. I'm surprised Itsuki didn't tell you that because it was the reason behind you being trained by me since the beginning. Aside from teaching basic school lessons to you and Tomura, I was also training your bodies to master the quirk you already have and prepare yourself to obtain more. I have multiple quirks stored in my body so Itsuki knew it would be best to come to me."
