Violet POV:

The world continued to spin violently in my vision. My limbs felt too heavy to move.

And, as much as I'd love to stay slumped against this tree like a dead bug and go to sleep, the sight of Kaito walking into the destroyed ruins of the Todoroki home was the only spark I needed to get moving.

It was only mere minutes ago that I'd lost my purpose and succumbed to the weight of the world, unable to find a reason to keep going.

I'm not saying I've had a monumental turn around with most of it. I still feel destroyed. Still crushed. But, now I've found my purpose again-or, rather, remembered it for the time being.

I promised to protect them. My family. And, while I never thought a time would come in my existence where their lives were left in my hands, I guess fate has also decided to be cruel to them.

There's no Endeavor. No All Might. Not even the number two Winged Hero Hawks...

No. It's just...me....and all the wits and power I hold.

...

Poor them!

Regardless, it will have to do.

A shaky groan left my dry throat as I forced my injured muscles to stir, gliding my eyes around the premise for a certain masked person.

That's right. Tsuyo got thrown back from the explosion, too. But, being closer to the point of impact, they got thrown even further than me.

I don't know where they are. There's no time to think of the worst.

Finally stumbling to my feet, I blinked away the black spots from my vision and forced my heavy feet to move.

It was an extremely non-heroic sight-the image of me hobbling like a drunken person through the street at a pathetically slow pace.

But...

Well...

Yeah, I actually got nothing! It looks ridiculous. I don't know how they make heroes look so cool in movies. Right now, I look like the hobo extra who got caught in the line of fire. Whoops.

The closer I got to the house, the more dusty and smoky the debris-filled air became. Kaito was already inside the home and things were eerily quiet.

In a situation such as this, silence is the worst thing you could hope for. Because, even if people are screaming from fear and pain....

....at least you know...for the time being....they're still alive.

My thoughts began getting the better of me, with worst case scenarios already trying to debilitate me as I approached the caved in front door.

No. Stop. Don't think so negatively. It won't do you any good.

Right now, you can't be negative. You can't think about the things that happened before this moment. Just save them.

Besides, the Todoroki family is a different breed. They're the offspring of the number one hero, and while that man may have been a horrible father, his fighting spirit is something that's been ingrained into their blood.

Not to mention, they all had some sort of training from Endeavor before Shouto came into the picture. They have a basic idea of situations such as these. Perhaps their silence isn't one of death, but rather strategy as they realize they're under attack.
