"Somebody shine a light! I'm frozen by the fear in me. Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me! So cut me from the line. Dizzy spinning endlessly. Somebody make me feel alive and Shatter me!"
-Lindsey Sterling.

Her excitement was adorable to him.
"I have a question for you. But it can wait until after we eat."
"My winged quirk gives me healing power, and invincibility to quirks that would normally kill me. That's how I'm not dead."
"Well. Glad that was cleared up."
"You promised me coffee. So let's get up."
"Alright."
He and I sat up and walked to our separate dressers. He pulled out a black shirt and pants. I got some shorts and a red t-shirt. I turned around and saw something I didn't think I'd see this early in the morning.

His torso surprisingly toned for a scrawny man. I quickly turned around and tried to calm down. He walked into the bathroom and I quickly changed into my outfit. I had some red converse shoes to go with my outfit. I brushed my hair and tied it up. My naturally curly hair made me struggle. I heard the toilet flush and finally put my hair up in a ponytail. Being a Latina was tough. My curly hair made it difficult to style. I didn't like straightening it. Anyway. We walked downstairs and sat at the counter. I was thinking of a song to sing and I got the perfect idea.

I was looked at like I was a rockstar. And I felt like it. These people made me feel like I was special. I found where I belonged. I made it. I asked kurogiri for some eggs and a pancake.
"Here you go Ms. Romero."
"Thank you Kuro."
"How about you Tomura Shigaraki. What would you like?"
"The same please. Thank you Kurogiri."
"It is my job to make sure you are safe and well  Tomura Shigaraki. Do not thank me."
"Nonsense. It's common sense to thank someone after they do something nice for you. I'm a villain. I'm not heartless. Just take the thanks."
"I suppose I will allow it."
I smiled at the mother/son relationship Kurogiri and Tomura have. I wish my parents loved me like that.
"Kuro. A soft drink of alcohol please. I have some shit on my mind."
"Fine but a small drink. Nothing too large. I don't want to clean up vomit this early."
"Thanks Kuro."
I drank the one glass of vodka he gave me and got back to singing.

[^take my hand and look at me in the eyes. There's still time left. Cut these cords and kid run for your life. Maybe you're broken. Maybe you're shattered with no reason left to try but you still have so much. So much worth saving that you have left on the inside. I know you feel like you are worthless that your day has come. The misery eats you alive until you come undone. You feel like there is nowhere left to call your home tonight. You are not alone, this is our time, and I am by your side. My friend this is do or die
Hey kid can you hear me. Don't you dare pull the trigger throw it all away. You have every reason left to stay alive. All this hell you've lived and seen. Drown it all in gasoline. Than light a match, pull the pin, you are not who you've been. The past is just lessons learned. Light it up and let it burn.
  Never thought that it would come to this. Who will save you? Fading fast now you are cancerous. I know you feel hopeless at the end of your rope now. The fear is eating you alive. So I'll be your reason, I'll be your shelter. I will not let you say goodbye. Have you no reason to forget your pain and swear you'll stay? If you kiss it all goodbye, my friend, the world will be a darker place. I know you're scared to death but this is not the time to hide. You were meant for so much more, won't let you leave this world behind. What will it take to survive?

You will remember the day you burned it all to the ground. I know you've heard this before but you gotta be strong now. This is not the end.

"Aliya. If you don't mind, why do you sing?"
"Singing was the only thing that made me feel better after being treated like shit my whole life. I wasn't even a villain for long. Maybe a couple months. Singing was the only thing I had."
"That's kinda refreshing to hear. None of us have anything positive to hold onto."
"We'll now you have me. I won't let you down boss. I'd you need me I'll be in our room."
"We're going on a mission tomorrow. Get some rest and come find me after your done so we can train."
"I changed my mind. Let's go train. I'm definitely awake now."
"We'll let's get a move on."
"Ms. Romero. May I speak with you for a moment?"
"Sure Kuro."
"Okay."
"I'll meet you up in our room."
"Okay."
"Ms. Romero. I hope you know you could die if you train with Master Shigaraki."
"Actually no I won't. He discovered that this morning, I am protected from quirks that would kill me. Thank you for your concern Kurogiri."
"Don't damage this place. And don't hurt him too much."
"I'll heal him if I do."
