The sound of Y/n's quiet sobbing was polluted entirely by the chaos of the crowds watching the fight between All Might and All for One. But it's not like she was somewhere anyone could hear her. She was perched in the corner of a dark, trash-filled alley with her back against the brick wall behind her. Her palm muffled the noises she made, and her face was stained with tears, dirt and blood. The billboard was still visible from the spot she was sitting in. Y/n could see both the fight and the picture of herself with things like 'WANTED; APPROACH WITH CAUTION.' and 'BE WARY; PRONE TO HOMICIDE.' written under it.

Now to put things into light for you, at that moment in my life, everything had fallen apart right in front of my eyes literally minutes prior. My plans for rejoining society? Gone, I was the most wanted person in Japan. Plans to meet up with Izuku whom I had missed oh-so greatly? Also gone, given that we had made eye contact and I had blatantly rejected his hand since I could've gotten him killed. The villains were looking for me, I had heard Tomura shout my name into the smoke while I tried to slip away into safety. The heroes too, so really, I had nowhere to go where I'd live.

Right. Y/n bit her tongue to stop her cries when she heard the sound of footsteps nearby. She nervously eyed the red-and-white-haired boy that she'd seen before as he walked past her alley. She flinched when he poked his head in and examined the dark alley with a curious look. Y/n was huddled between the mountains of trash, and she really hoped that she was hidden. "Is there something wrong Todoroki?" A feminine voice asked from a spot not visible to Y/n. "...No. Just thought I heard something. Let's go, we have to meet up with Midoriya and the others." He responded after a short pause.

She stayed silent even after he walked away, just in case. While she waited, Y/n watched the wound in her side close up slowly by itself. Her side felt hot as it healed. It was an odd feeling, warm and quite uncomfortable, but when it was fully healed it felt better than before. But she couldn't bring herself to be excited about this new quirk, even though it was the coolest quirk she'd ever seen and she was really tempted to test its limits. Y/n thought back to the boy. He knew Izuku, and she'd seen him before at the sports festival. He was his friend, they all were. It made her smile, the two had a hard time making friends because of their quirklessness.

Then again... he got a quirk too didn't he? And her gut told her that this wasn't a late bloomer thing. He was involved in some shit just like she was. Or is.

"Fuck.." She cursed when she stepped into a puddle of wet trash. "Today is not my fucking day huh... Then again what day is...?" Y/n tutted, taking a deep breath of fresh air after climbing out of the sea of garbage. The streets were empty, either evacuated or gathered around the big screen to watch the fight and its aftermath. When she looked up at the screen again, she saw him standing victorious and with his fist raised. The corner of her mouth twitched. This wasn't the father-daughter reunion she had in mind. Neither was it how she'd planned to meet her favourite hero.

Y/n pulled the hood of her jacket up and turned away, stuffing her hands into her pockets. She moved silently in the dark, with no particular destination in mind. After hours of walking, she found herself in her old neighbourhood. Her legs had taken her there without much thought. She ended up at the park, it was way past midnight which left her alone. Her lips twitched into a smile when she spotted the bench full of engravings. There were three initials engraved on the backrest, K.B, I.M and her own, in horrible kids' handwriting. Along with other drawings, some theirs, some done by other kids.

Her fingers grazed the carved wood, there was a star drawn around her initials. She didn't recall...

"Ugh! That damn Kacchan. He pisses me off so much! I'm gonna show him. We're gonna be stars Izu, the best heroes! Better than All Might!" Y/n rambled while stomping through the school doors. "Y-yeah!" Izuku smiled, hurrying after her.
