Misguided

Todoroki

Everyone believes that being the son of the number 2 hero is amazing. That you get to live a luxurious life with a great family.

But they are wrong. So very painfully wrong.

Endeavour is a horrible man and an even worse father. Ever since I was a child all I've every known was pain and sorrow and fear. All because of him.

I was created for one purpose and one purpose only. To serve as his tool to beating All Might. He had tried three times before having me.

In his eyes I was the perfect creation. All because of my quirk.

Half hot, half cold. I can create fire from my left and ice from my right. A perfect mix of both my parents' quirks.

I hate it.

Growing up I could never speak with my siblings. They got to play with each other, go to school, have fun, while I was being brutally trained.

If you could even call it training.

My sperm donor would beat me until I passed out every day since I turned 4.

In every memory all I can see is my mother crying. She loved me, loved all of us. She tried and tried and tried to save us, but never suceeded.

The last thing I remember my mother doing was calling someone on the phone. Saying how she couldn't cope anymore. That she couldn't bare to look at my left side because it reminded her so much of him.

It was then that she saw me and poured scalding water from the kettle on my face.

The burn has never gone away, but she has. The bastard that is my dad put her away in a mental hospital for damaging his masterpiece.

Years went passed and when I was 10 my oldest brother, Touya, ran away. I know he didn't die like they said. He was strong and brave... and gone.

My hatred grew everyday. It became harder to want to live when as each day passed my father was praised again and again while villains and civilians alike die by his hands. I hated it.

I hated him.

Throughout the years I consistently refused to use his fire. It was a sort of rebellion. No matter how hard he beat me, I never gave in. It was stupid but it was the only thing I could do.

Time flew by as a blur. Nothing new happened until the UA entrence exams.

I was being pushed harder. All I ever wanted was a break. I never looked up to heroes much, but All Might was an exception. Just watching him save people and smiling made my childish heart believe that there is hope, that I too can be saved.

Hope.... is a funny thing.

People hope everyday for different things. They pray and wish and yet no matter how much they do it, believe in it, nothing ever transpires. Still, people continue to pray, wish and hope.

It's naive. Believing that good things can happen just because you hope that it will. So why did I.

I guess the gods allowed me that one slither of hope to blossom, as I saw him. Tenya.

Tenya was my only friend, we would spend time at galas together until one day my father stopped taking me. It was around the time my training started getting more intense. when I couldn't hide the bruises anymore.

Endeavour did only think about his reputation.

Me and Tenya spent the day together, we talked and joked and just pretended we were okay. but the day must come to an end eventually.

I never saw him after that. Not like I could have gone out if I wanted to.

The entrance exam was coming up fast and my training got worse. How it could possible get any worse I don't know, but it did.

I couldn't handle it. It was too much.

It has always been too much.

Everyone has a breaking point and I had reached mine years ago. So in the middle of the night, I snuck out of my room and headed towards the kitchen.

I looked towards the knives. It would be easy. so so easy to just grab one and stab it into his cold, bloody heart-

Quiet footsteps reached my ears. I froze. Someone was awake, but it couldn't be my family. Endeavour was asleep in his room, Natsu was at a friends house and Fuyumi was away for university.

That means someone had broken in.

I grabbed my knife and stood just outside the doorway. Peaking around the corner I saw... was that Tenya?

Why did he look like that and who was he with?

Shit- they had seen me. they must have as they went silent.

"Shoto?"

The knife fell out of my hands as I reached up to cover my mouth.

"Shoto?" they called again. "It's just me, Tenya"

"What are you doing here. If he finds you he'll kill you" I warned. I didn't want my only friend to be turned to ash.

"We came to rescue you," A new voice sounded. It was higher pitched than Tenyas and was slightly bubbly.

"You do need rescuing, right?" she asked. It was definately a girls voice.

I slowly walked around and into their view. Now that I got a better look at them, I could see that the girl had a dark pink hoodie with a dark grey mask and black cargo trousers with black combat boots with the same pink and grey as patterns.

Tenya had on a similar outfit to the shortest member, except his was a dark blue instead of green and he had no tie.

The shortest one had fluffy black hair with green roots showing it was dyed. He had one green and one red eye. He was staring directly at me.

"Uh.... maybe?"

"Shoto your dad is physcially and mentally abusing you. You train everyday until you pass out and just now you were thinking of killing him in his sleep." Tenya listed in one of the most monotone voices I had ever heard.

"Follow me" I whispered. If I was going to runaway I was going to at least pack some things.

As we left the house I looked back and flipped the building off. The other three laughed and I finally felt free.

We walked for a while before they stopped. The leader, I guessed the short one was the leader, turned to me and asked

"Shoto Todoroki, do you want to join us in a quest to rid this world of those who hurt others, of the heroes that save for their own selfish greed and rebuild it so that those who were treated with missfortune can spread their wings and fly"

I looked over at the other two, Tenya and the girl. All they did was smile and nod.

A grin, much like the chesire cat, grew on my face.

"They wont know what hit them"
