She shuffled in the chair uncomfortably and pulled at the black gloves she wore. Even with this full body suit underneath her clothes she still felt exposed, naked, embarrassed. Her bright purple hair fell into her eyes and she tried to blow the bangs away but they gave no head. Instead she only looked down and clenched her hands into tight fists. Her pale purple eyes seemed almost lifeless. It was however, a far cry from how she used to be. After waking up in the hospital and reuniting with her sister after years of being apart it was all pretty much a blur. Her mind stayed blank as she went through surgeries and therapies. Her voice box was damaged but, she still had the ability to talk. The doctors deemed it an elective surgery. Shed never be able to sing like she used to again. Her career, her LIFE as she knew it was over.

A soft voice broke her from her thoughts of nothingness. She looked up to see a man with scraggly black hair, blood shot eyes, a weird cloth around his neck and dressed in all black. He was standing but knelt before her. This had to be Shota Aizawa, the man the government said would be their legal guardian. He squatted down to become eye level with her and sighed. His hand went for her hand but stopped suddenly. He knew her circumstances. Still she withdrew further back into the chair. He sighed and stood again, looking out the window of the common room in the teachers dorm. Aria looked out the window too. The sun was setting. Was she there all day? She wondered how her sisters first day went. She wouldn't find out though. Lindsey was moving into the dorms with the rest of class 3-A while Aria, she had to stay in the teachers dorms to be under Aizawa's eye. If her quirk did resurface there's no telling what effects from the state of her emotional and mental being would have on her quirk. It could go out of control. If it did, he'd have to erase it instantly.

Aria unlike her twin sister Lindsey was under observation. In the two years since the incident, Arias quirk never resurfaced. She had gone to so many therapists and none of them had answers for her. Her body was physically healthy and it should have resurfaced by now. Was she truly broken? Aizawa sighed.

"I know this must be difficult for you. We have some of the best staff here to evaluate you. Hopefully we can figure out how to get your quirk working again. Maybe itll help you. I dont know." She looked to the side and rubbed the back of his neck. She reminded him a lot of little Eri. The little girl who had come to stay with him and was pretty much adopted by class A. Eri was a small child and was still impressionable. Aria on the other hand had her trauma deep routed into her very soul. A simple concert and festival couldnt fix this. He thought maybe if she could interact with at least Midoriya; who had a knack for saving the souls of those around him; she could regain some of herself. She couldnt join the class until he felt she was ready. Maybe some individual meetings were necessary. Of course, her sister Lindsey, most likely Midoriya but, whom else He thought to himself. Someone who had been in a similar situation? Eri was the only one and she was much too young. She needed a peer her own age.

Time seemed to pass in a blur once more before Lindsey's gentle hand rested upon her sisters. Aria shrank away from her.

"Sis, you need to eat something." Lindsey urged as she helped her sister to her feet and led her to the dining area where LUNCH RUSH was preparing dinner.

"o...ok" was all she squeaked out. She barely talked. She hated the sound of her voice now. Her voice had identified her when she was an Idol. With the loss of her signature voice she lost herself. She wanted to cry but she had lost the ability a long time ago. When dinner was served she merely picked at it eating bits here and there. Aizawa watched her carefully and finally a light bulb went off in his head. He knew exactly who she needed. She wouldn't like it, the one he thought of definitely wouldn't like the idea. He would appeal to his pride. Aizawa hoped it would work. He finished his meal and helped Lindsey and Yamada Hizashi clean up.

Aria looked up when she heard Aizawa speaking to Lindsey. She couldn't hear what they were saying but her sister nodded and quickly left. Something fluttered in her heart as Aizawa looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I'm going to have you meet a few of your future classmates. You don't need to speak to them. Just listen. They don't know what you went through but they'll still try to help." He then rested his hand on top of her head very gently. This was a rare side of him. He was a hero though and he needed to help her. Even if he wasn't the one to save her, he knew who could.

It would be about forty-minutes before a soft knock on the door was heard. A loud booming voice could be heard yelling through it s another muttered.

"I DONT GET WHY THE HELL I GOTTA DO THIS!! ISNT SHE YOUR SISTER? I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT!!" the loud voice screamed.

"KKaachan. L. lets just hear what Aizawa sensei wants us to do first!" stuttered the smaller more high pitched voice.

"Like I said Bakugou," Lindsey started "We think she needs someone to make her realize what she needs to do. Aizawa seems to think the two of you can do that."

"Tsk, fine. But I ain't gunna play nice GOT IT!?" screamed the Bakugou monster. Aizawa opened the door and sternly looked at the trio. He glared at the Ash Blonde who instantly looked away.

"Fine lets get this over with. I've got a sparring match with shitty hair" The Bakugou monster stated as Aizawa let them in. He pushed his way passed the teacher with hands in his pants pockets but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the state she was in. She wasn't even curled up on the couch. He thought shed just be a depressed girl. He wasn't prepared for the sight before him. His hand left his pockets as she could only stare. She sat at the kitchen table still. Looking down and hands in her lap, her disheveled bright purple hair covered her face. She wore a simple long skirt and blouse but wore a turtle neck, gloves and leggings underneath. The only skin showing was the top of her neck and her head. He noticed that there was a tip of a scar just above there the turtle neck ended. Her body, from what he could see was frail and malnourished she trembled slightly and he knew it was because she felt his presence. This probably wasn't a good idea.

Bakugou Katsuki didn't even notice when Midoriya Izuku walked passed him and knelt instantly by her side with a worried expression on her face. Lindsey told them that her circumstances were classified so she couldn't tell them much. Only the specific personality traits the two of them had could possibly help her regain a fiber of who she used to be. If not that, then maybe start her on the road to recovering and to become someone new entirely.
