the 4 pillars of justice- my hero Academia

limbo

i don't know what i expected from my mother other than this.

it was a thought id discovered when i was 7 years old and she lashed out at me for the first time. the thought became reoccurring when her cruelty had repeated.

the most recent episode had involved my accidental destroying of a teapot, and she had locked me in my room, which wasn't totally uncalled for except i only broke the stupid thing because my quirk activated accidently, at 15 it shouldn't happen anymore, but most 15 year old could activate quirks within private property, I couldn't. ever.

glancing to my window, i saw the streets buzzing with the world, merchants and clients, children, people late for work, and i decided i wouldn't spend the rest of my the day inside my stuffy room, covered with cracks and other marks id left.

within a second, i activate my quirk, guilt filling me up as i did so, black ink like escaped my hands, and i let it grow, until it grabbed my fence and i swung across it, holding the damage concentration to an almost non existent percentage as i went, ensuring the wood was for all intents and proposes unharmed. air filled my hair and i stretched my neck up, closing my eyes, id felt like this once or twice before, in a past life.

and then i came crashing into reality which took the form of a fence.

delightful.

a hot pain rubbed my nose but not completely unbearable. i pouted at the fence "i should have turned the damage up on you." i scowled, preparing to climb it. id have just used my quirk to grapple outside my property but quirk use outside of my property was illegal.

after escaping my home, i spent a lazy day in the city, catching trains to their last stops and watching people my age in schools. i missed going to school but for my last year of middle school, returning was no longer an option. some of the kids my age were leaving to go home for lunch when i was on my third train ride up, but none of them looked up at me, fair to say really but the feeling had taken over and eventually I'd decided to find a new activity to kill the rest of my time. i trekked deep into the city, were my mothers gaggle would trek in fear of being robbed, but i wasn't scared of much, cocky right? oh well, i smirked to myself, sipping the tea id bought from a café on my walk, sun splintering off glass towers near by onto me and the busy streets of Musutafu . maybe its because i enjoyed my environment so much, or because id been taught to read absolutely everything did i know something was wrong. 

people were running, not too many to promote a great villain or low life thug crime was taking place, more like one was near by. most ignored it all together, checking their phones, shrugging and talking to friends. but i was curious, and bored, and sheltered.

so i ran towards the danger, my heart picking up, what was it? id heard reports of a criminal with a shapeshifting quirk interrupting civilians on their way to work and school this morning but the sun was now setting and id heard he'd been caught by some debuting giant thirst trap , so who was this? or had the rookie let him escape.

bright lights were blazing , fire springing up from all around a single individual as a man yelled at another. 

endeavour.

i paused a little, my eyes flickering through the crowds but i only recognized Enji Todoroki who was fighting with a villan, some one who appeared to be made of water quite litralley, this would be over soon.

maybe it was because i was getting so hot from the fire, but my mind wondered years previous.

"i thought you said you weren't going to ua anymore frosty."

a boy shrugged, working closely on a pile of fabric in his lap "i did."

akira pouted, continuing her sloppy stitch work, she'd learnt to accept the few words her friend offered her "well we can go together, wouldn't that be fun? we can sit next to each other in class, go to lunch together, and id totally kick your butt!" the boy shook his head "no, im better than most." he said as if reciting a fact. "well, not me!" akira roared, letting a tendril of quirk loose "dad said i might beat him one day and my dads the best"

her friend smiled, lifting what he'd been finishing, a stuffed bear with little black paws and a positively sassy expression, making akira blush "here, before my brother gets it."

akira shoved past the bear, lunging into a hug "thank you."

a cheer from the crowd turned my mind back to present, enji glared around the crowd, turquoise eyes contrasting with his ridiculous flame mask that did him more harm than good, if someone needed help and he had reached his limit, he couldn't say to a grieving family, sorry guys, i wanted to look cool. but looks were everything to him, which is why i raised my head high, long hair being blown in a breeze as he passed, maybe he didnt see me flip him off, maybe he did, maybe he knew who i was, maybe not. but he vanished down the streets with the same sour look he had all the time.

all of them were hypocrites, every hero was corrupt. no one was perfect but i really have a thing against people who let misjustice slide for the 'greater good' the greater good was made up of little actions and any interventions could stop it.

"Akira Yagi! how dare you leave my house unpermitted!"

maybe my mothers quirk was bad breath, it was all i could think as she screamed in my face, her short brown hair dishevelling in her tantrum. "well i wasn't going to get permission!" she gasped at me, "and for good reason, what if you hurt someone. again. what if you were hurt?" a hole tore through my stomach and i glanced away "i didn't, im sorry, ill let you know next time." i gasped, tears filling my eyes "no, its my fault, i shouldn't trust you so much akira. its inly your nature to be wicked." i nodded "im sorry." she placed a hand on my shoulder "i know, at least your here again, its all that matters." i sighed as she gestured me through the house to the dinner table, a portion of chicken lain out. she'd probably only realised id been gone for 10 minutes before i got home, went up to my room to yell at me for ignoring her calls for dinner, better luck next time kira. 

that night i tossed and turned, noise filling my head from outside. i often got in such a state when id held my quirk back for too long, but that couldn't be right, id used it twice today, the cold sweats and sickness shouldn't start for a few weeks. but i knew what i needed now, redemption. id seen too much evil, let some come from me myself and i wasn't going to get through my life if i didn't compensate for my cruelty. the same idea flushed my mind but i ignored it, it was impossible, id need parental permission, but my mind had come up with a  rough plan, a plan months in the works, a plan that needed to start tomorrow.
