Three small children are all playing at a park, all of them seeming to be around seven to eight years old. One of the kids has red, slightly spiked hair, turquoise eyes, and seems to be the oldest of all three. He also has multiple burn marks all over him, some being healed, others not so much. This, is Touya Todoroki. The second child has dirty blond hair that seems to need to be cut just a bit seeing as it is in his eyes a little, he has gold-brown eyes and two small black marks by his eyes, one mark by each. This, is Keigo Takami. The third and final child has mostly black hair, which is pulled into a ponytail, though their bangs are pastel violet, they have two different colored eyes, one eye being an onyx black the other being a light gray. This is August Jackson. The three children continued to play their game of tag. If we look over to a nearby bench, we'll see two adults. One of the adults has white hair, brown-gray eyes, and slight eye bags. This is Rei Todoroki, Touyas mother. The other adult is a man with fluffy black hair, onyx eyes, and very noticeable eye bags, along with a large scar over one of his eyes. This, is Shane Jackson aka pro hero Fast Track, Augusts dad. The two adults watched as the kids played, both of them having gentle smiles on their faces while watching their children play with their friends. Suddenly, August stops thus making their friends stop as well. Keigo, who was confused as to why they all stopped playing, questioned his dual-haired and eyed friend.
"Hey Auggie, why'd you stop? Is there anything wrong?" Touya, who knew his friend had asthma, checked to make sure they were okay.
"Yeah, you're not having an asthma attack right? Do you need your inhaler or anything?" August, touched by their friends' concern, turned and gave their friends a gentle smile of reassurance to both their friends.
"Haha, no you guys, I'm okay. I don't need my inhaler nor am I having an asthma attack. I just want us all to make a promise." August explained. Both of their friends gave them a confused glance.
"Well, what is it?" Keigo asked his friend out his curiosity. Touya showed similar curiosity.
"Yeah Auggie. What kind of promise are we making here?" August gave both of their friends a bright smile while holding out their pinky finger.
"Let's all promise to be the best heros of our generation when we get older! Let's all be heros together! We'll make sure to be known all across Japan- no. Make that the best heros known across the whole world!" August exclaimed with a bright smile still on their face. Both of Augusts friends smiled just as brightly back at August, wrapping their pinkies around August's outstretched one. Both Keigo and Touya gave their responses at the same time.
"Of course Auggie!" All three children gave off happy laughes that can only come from kids who have found their true true friends. All of the happiness and laughter abruptly ended when three voices suddenly exclaimed out in fury. One of the voices belonged to Touyas father, Enji Todoroki aka pro hero Endeavor. Enji has the same red hair as Touya. He also has the same turquoise eyes. The second of the voices belonged to Augusts mom, Tonya Jackson aka pro hero Tsuru. Tonya has pastel violet hair that is currently put up in a ponytail. She also light gray eyes that never truly seems to have a motherly gaze. The final voice belonged to that of Keigos mother, Tomie Takami. Tomie has messy hair to similar that of the down of bird, or the fluffier feathers of a bird, and has very much sunken eyes along with two eyes floating around her that are there due to her quirk.
"August! Why the hell are you out here! You should be training!" Tonya called in fury. She quickly grabbed her daughter's hand, and dragged her back to their house, with Shane running after them, calling out to his wife, just as angry as she was just not at little August. Instead, he was furious at his wife.
"Kurdan has the correct idea Touya. You could've had twice as much training in by now! How are you ever going to surpass All Might like this!?!?" Enji exclaimed in pure fury. If you looked hard enough, you'd be able to see the pure fear in both Touya's and Rei's eyes. Touya quickly ran up to his father, Rei not that far behind. Tomie didn't even have to say anything to Keigo. All she did was glare at him, and he came running up to her, fear evident in his eyes and body language. All three kids were dragged back to their individual homes, each one praying the same thing. For safety. Not for themselves. But instead for their other two friends. Each one of them didn't have a good childhood. Sure, they had fond memories, but never a childhood.
For Touya, what kept him from a good childhood, was his father. Enji Todoroki had an undying drive to surpass All Might, more specifically for one of his children to do it. Now, he had a specific image of his child that would surpass All Might would be like, though Touya never fit that image. Yet, Enji would train Touya down to his point of passing out. Then Touya would get slight relief, only to then have to go through the cycle all over again the next day.
For Keigo, what kept him from a good childhood, was actually both of his parents. His father was a wanted criminal, that consistently trained his son to be a villain just like himself, even though that was never what little Keigo wanted. His father would abuse him for hours on end, just to train him. Keigos mother, Tomie, was slightly better than his father, but not by much. While yes, Yomie would sometimes take Keigo outside for just a short bit, and would hold his hand every now and again, never once did she intervene against her husband's abusive actions towards her son.
For August, what kept her positive childhoos away, was their mother. Tonya had always pushed August over the edge, to the point that August would pass out for days on end, sometimes having to be brought to the hospital. While Shane did try to give August the best childhood he could, it wasn't ever truly enough to outweigh the horrible things that Tonya did to August.
Eventually, these kids would get away from these horrible lives, all brought on by at least one of their parents. Their only question, was when? When will they be free? When can they all go outside and be together, without being dragged apart by their parents? Well, little did they know, that day would come sooner than they might think.
