Part 1: Lost

          Tenko and Hana look up at you with those eyes. The pleading ones they always give you when they want something. You cross your arms unimpressed at their attempts to look innocent. 

"What do you want this time?"

Hana looks up at you with her big brown eyes.

"Can you take us to the park?"

"Did you ask mom first?"

"Yeah, she said we could go if you came with us."

You let out a sigh giving the two bright-eyed kids a small smile. 

"Well, I don't see why not."

 They jump up and down with excitement as they follow you out of the house.

          It was a nice sunny day, fall was right around the corner so the leaves were beautiful reds, yellows, and oranges. Fall has always been your favorite time of year, you've ways loved the cold. Tenko pulls you along through the parade of leaves falling all around you. The park was only a few blocks from your house, so it wasn't a long walk. You guys make it to the park and Hana races you to the swings. You notice a kid on the far right swing, who you had never seen here before. You walk over to him and observe his red hair with white streaks. The boy who seems a few years older than you looks up. His beautiful blue eyes pull you in almost immediately. He looked incredibly sad as if something horrible had happened. You sit on the swing beside him, giving him a smile.

"Hello, my name is Shumora Maiko. What's your name?"

"Todoroki Touya."

"I haven't seen you here before. Are you new to the neighborhood?"

"No, I just never had time before."

"Oh, well um did something happen?"

"What's it to you? You're just some little girl."

You blink at Todoroki curiously and look away pushing wood chips between your feet.

"Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude. You just looked like you could use a friend is all."

He scoffs and gets up walking away, you shout after him.

"You should come back sometime. I bring my younger siblings here a lot, you can come and play with us."

He keeps walking without reacting to your offer. You shrug your shoulders and go play with Tenko and Hana. After a few hours, you decide to take them home. Tenko whines the whole way home. Tugging on your sleeve to take him back. He didn't want to go home, in all honesty, he was scared of the house. You would always take him out on walks, or to the park, sometimes to get ice cream. You did your best to protect your little brother from the horrors behind the walls of your house. You look down at him with a small smile pinching his cheek.  

          You walk through the door seeing father glaring at the 3 of you. You let out a sigh and looked up at him. He scoffs and walks over backhanding you into the wall. He grabs Tenko by the back of the shirt and drags him off.

"You let go of him!"

"Maiko!"

Your mother hissed, shutting down your attempt to insult your father. You glare at her, getting up and rubbing your cheek.

"Go out and buy some tea."

"Mother you need to go help Tenko, whatever it is he doesn't deserve it."

"It's none of your business."

"Yes, it is! That's my little brother and it's my job to protect him!"

"Under this roof, you will keep your mouth shut."

          Your mother shoos you out of the house to the convenience store down the road. As you enter you notice the Todoroki kid buying something. You looked at each other in silence, from your black eye to his patched-up arms it was clear neither of you had a good home environment. You buy the tea and hurry out, hoping to talk to him again. He was sitting on the curb eating a candy bar. You sit by him pulling out an ice cream you had bought. You speak up attempting small talk.

"Rough night huh?"

"Nah, this is normal."

"Yeah same here."

He looks at you curiously and offers a part of his candy bar.

"I, I don't really have any friends."

You gasp happily and take the piece of candy from him.

"I'm your first friend?"

He pushes some of the rocks around on the ground avoiding eye contact with you. You smile at him and stand up.

"I have to go, but do consider coming to the park."

He returns your smile and nods before going back to his staring contest with the ground. You head home with a slight skip in your step. You're my first friend too.

          You drop the bag on the sidewalk. The sight before you horrified you to no extent. Your home was gone. Nothing but a gigantic hole in the ground with crumbled debris everywhere. You stand there a chill cutting you to the bone. Gone, it was all gone.

"Tenko! Hana!"

You scream out digging through the rubble. Despite your attempts, no one called out to you.

"TENKO!"

You sob out falling into what you think was the backyard where a huge pool of blood was. Far in the distance, you thought you heard someone calling your name. You get up booking it out of the yard towards the voice. You call out again but don't hear anything. You keep running and running until you no longer know where you are. You fall down sobbing into the filthy gutter of an alleyway. Suddenly a man jumps out of the shadows scaring you. You yelp and put your hands up to brace in case he tried to hit you. A huge spike of black ice shot out of your hand and right through the man's chest. He imminently turned into an ice sculpture. His cold dead eyes now frozen over staring right through you. You scream out and run away from the man. Was that me? I, I don't have a quirk. They told me I was quirkless! What the hell is happening to me!?  

          You had no idea what was going on. You accidentally killed that man, what if he was a good guy? What if he was only trying to help you? And your quirk, you've been quirkless for years. They said you wouldn't get one, and kids at school even made fun of you for it. Now not only do you have a quirk but a deadly one. What if you kill someone again? You can't go to the police they'll lock you up for murder, for being dangerous. You grab your hair pulling at it frantically. What the hell am I supposed to do!?
