"My whole life has revolved around Katsuki's! The second his Quirk developed, he changed! Even I became afraid of him, and he's my brother! So I did nothing but sit back and watch, not giving any real effort into developing my own Quirk- our Quirk! Because I knew, I just knew the second that I even dared to complete with him, he'd treat me the same way he treated you, Deku! I was so damn afraid of my own brother, that I sat back and watched what he did to you, and yet Katsuki, he's your model in life! And ever since he developed his Quirk, you started comparing me to him, everyone did! Todoroki, he was the only person who didn't, I understood him and he understood me, what it's like to live in someone else's shadows, to have to measure up or else others get disappointed." She stopped herself and took in a deep breath.

"Sorry, Deku, just ignore everything I said." The girl grinned, pretending like nothing ever happened. "Let's kick Endeavor's ass and pass this Exam!"

"I-" Midoriya paused before taking in his own deep breath, but before he got to speak again, a rush of searing hot blames bored in their direction.

"Deku!" The girl Bakugou yelled, slamming him out of the way of the flames, causing herself to get burned.

"Bakugou!" Midoriya yelled, running past her and going to attack Endeavor while he briefly paused from his attack.

Before Midoriya's fist got the chance to make contact with Endeavor's gut, the flaming hero grabbed the boys face and ignited his fist with fire, then used his other fist to punch Midoriya back, the green haired boys body sent flying into a nearby building. His face was searing red and steaming from the heat.

Endeavor, while busy watching as the boys body had hit the wall, was taken off guard as he was hit with a massive explosion.

"So that was your plan, huh?" The girl slightly whimpered. "You weren't letting us talk, you were making it hotter so I'd hurt my arms Quicker from the blowback of the explosions..." Despite the pain already coursing through her arms, she blasted herself towards the Pro and started attacking him with explosion after explosion.

"Bakugou, stop!" Midoriya yelled, speeding into the scene and grabbing the girl by the back of her uniform shirt and, quite literally, throwing her over and behind him before attacking the Pro himself. "Get into your senses, you're smarter than this! Use your brain!" Despite those words, his own mind was preoccupied.

He had never noticed, never paid attention to what all was going on from their childhood until now. All he paid attention to was Katsuki Bakugou and the toxic relationship that formed between them, and how he wished for his childhood friend to go back to being his friend. In that time, he didn't notice how strongly he compared the twins, how much he feared her just because she was his sister, how much their classmates from back then compared them, how despite being twins, Katsuki Bakugou had been put up on this pedestal, and she just sat back and observed, not making a name for herself.

"So, so that's what happened to you!?" Midoriya yelled, finally figuring it out. The two students looked to each other once he spoke, but Endeavor body slammed the two with his sheer strength and they two got flattened into the ground.

"On-once we hit Junior High, you started acting out! Is it because you were trying to separate yourself from Kacchan!?" Midoriya's entire world was being turned upside down, and despite how observant he was, he didn't notice any of this at all.

"Yes! And I joined the Hero Course as to not let my family down, my brother down, but I also knew that I couldn't compete! I never wanted to be a Hero!"

Endeavor was just about to slam his fists into the two students, his entire body engulfed in flames, but his fists stopped just above their guts, his eyes locking onto the girls.
