This is a story of a girl with a healing quirk. But it does more harm then good. Her dream was to become a hero. That dream was about to come true, until she saw what was happing behind closed curtains.
Being used and abused for her quirk and for b...
God, I couldn't even look at her. Every time she looked at me with those lost puppy eyes I felt guilty. I quickly turned and was about to walk away.
I felt an arm grab me and I stopped. With my back towards Airmed, I looked down to see who grabbed me. It was Blue.
"Thank you." Her voice was soft like she only wanted me to hear. She dropped her hand and walked over to her friend. I couldn't help but watch as everyone gather around her like a toy at Christmas.
I kinda was almost disgusted by how everyone wanted to talk to or touch her. The look on her face, I could tell was a fake smile.
She was greeting everyone with such ease. Not once did she show she was displeased with anyone.
I curled my lip up and just turned to walk away. I could feel her eyes on me but I didn't care. I mean why should I? I headed upstairs, with my hands in my pockets. I was starting to zone out when I heard my name, by the voice that always makes my heart shutter.
I stopped at midstep and didn't even bother turning around to look at her. "Thank you. For saving me." Her words felt like they were choking me. Just even her presence was making it hard to breathe. "I...I was ready to die." Those words made me stop, and I was about to turn to her.
But I couldn't let her know, how guilty she was making me feel. For god's sake, I still had her blood on me. "I..." I gripped my shirt and gritted my teeth. I couldn't do this. I let out a long sigh and then just started walking again. I needed to wash away this guilt.
I raised my hand and waved her off. "Don't mention it." My voice was cool, as I was trying to play it off. But more or less it sounded like I didn't care. Which is what I needed but not what I wanted.
I wanted to turn and hug her. I wanted to turn and scold her for trading her life for mine. I should have just let viper have her. I should have.....
My mind went on and on about all the things I should have done. But the one thing that was driving me insane was, she is getting in the way of my end goal.
I should have just let her trade her life, hell I wouldn't be in this mess if I just stayed away from her after all. I breathed out a long disappointed sigh and walked on.
I could hear her talking but I pushed on. Though even my heart was telling me to stop, I wasn't going to. I made my way up to the spare rooms of the abandoned bar and walked to my 2nd home, well I guess you can say my true home.
I didn't belong in that apartment. If I never was there and stayed where I was supposed to then maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have caught her falling out of that tree. I wouldn't have seen those haunting blue eyes.
I slammed the door open and walked into my room grabbing shit for a shower. The way the bathrooms were laid out as I share with the neighbor. But no one lived in that room so what's the point of locking it? Besides if they seriously want to see me in all my glory they would probably bleach their eyes out anyways.
I opened the bathroom and laid my spare clothes on the counter and opened the glass shower door to start the cold water.

I watched as Dabi walked up the stairs. I felt so alone, almost like I was completely shattered. "maybe..... Maybe he doesn't care." I was mumbling out loud. "maybe...I am just a burden."
I felt a presence behind me. I quickly turned around to find Shiggarki looking at me with his red beady eyes.
"So hero. Come to thank the Dabi? Don't even bother, he has a social level of a tree." His voice was very scratchy, and it sounded like it was being squeezed out. "I on the other high have a high enough skill that my charisma is sufficient enough to converse." I tilt my head. He was sleeping in what I thought was gamer language.
I turned around to face him and drop my hands to my side. "I guess that makes me a cleric of the team? I mean I'm not going at it but it's something." I saw his red eye lit up. "Megumi is more of a buffer. With her quickness, she can enhance one's quirk with touch." Shiggarki started to smile.
"Ah? So you can understand my meanings!?" He took a step forward and slouched slightly to be more eye level with me.
I softly nodded to his question. "Yeah? I mean it's gamer talk." His eyes widen and his smile grew wide. It was like I was talking to a kid who never saw their dream idol before.
"What games do you play?" He was slowly creeping forward. I could smell the sourness of unwashed clothes. "Can you be my player two!?"
At first, all I could do was smile at him. "Well, that depends. I mostly do RPGs, like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Zelda." His excitement died down slightly. He rocked onto his heels and looked at me like he was trying to figure out something.
"So, can you be a healer in my games for me?" His question sounded so empty like it was more of a demand than a question.
I softly nodded. "I..." I was cut off by Kiroguri.
"While not show the girl her room. I'm sure she would like to rest." I looked over Shiggarki to see the purple mist man. Shiggarki turned and glared at Kiroguri. He started scratching at his neck before turning back to me.
"This way, hero " he walked past me and up the stairs. I followed right behind him to a room. "This will be your room. Bathrooms are shared with the neighbor so lock your door." After that, he walked away with his back slouched.
I turned to the room and opened the door. Everything was covered in dust. But there was a dresser, a closet, a bed, and a nightstand. A door that was shut I guess was the bathroom. I walked over to it and opened the door.
