What If It Was...Different? - MHA FANFIC - NO MINETA!

Chapter One

"Shiggy!" The man yelled.

"What?!" Someone yelled back.

"Get over here! Now!" He yelled back. "Alright kid, don't be afraid of Crusty. He looks like he would beat the crap outta you, but he has a soft spot for wounded kids." I just nodded once he said that, still terrified though.

"What is it, Dabi?" A man with faded blue hair muttered when he walked into the room.

"I found this kid on the street. Dunno what happened to her." Dabi responded.

"Why would you bring her to our hideout?! She could be a hero in training!"

"Calm down, Shigaraki. She looks like she's still in middle school."

"I- I am in middle school, still...I'm in 8th grade..." I stuttered.

"If she goes to the authorities, it's your fault, Dabi."

Dabi rolled his eyes. "Hey kid, can you tell us what happened to you?"

"O-Oh, s-sure..." I looked down. "There's this kid at my school, and he beats me up...he calls me worthless because my quirk isn't good..."

"What's your quirk?" Shigaraki asked.

"I- I kinda am a c-cat..." I looked up. "I don't have fingernails, instead retractable claws, and I also have ears, a tail...and I'm supposed to have whiskers but my mother cuts them off..." I said as I unsheathed my claws, stuck my ears up, and gently pulled my tail out of my skirt. "My mother makes me keep it hidden..."

"Well she's just cruel. You obviously need clothes that are meant for your quirk." Dabi snapped as I sheathed my claws again, leaving my ears and tail out. I smiled slightly.

"What are your plans for the future?" Shigaraki asked me, running his pointer finger along the palm of a pale blue-gray hand.

"I...I always wanted to be the number one hero, but mostly just so I can bring justice to those who were wronged as children...Kinda like the League of Villains were."

"Kid, I'm gonna say this but we're part of the League."

"Nice to meet you two, then." I smiled.

"You're not the least bit scared of us..?" Dabi asked, widening his eyes.

"I'm not scared of a piece of burnt bacon and someone who doesn't know what chapstick is." I laughed.

"So you want to be a hero...but you're doing it for those who were in need of a hero when they were younger..?" Shigaraki asked, putting the hand down.

"Yeah, because I know what it's like for a hero to not notice you..." I sighed. "Pro hero Endeavor once ignored me when I asked him for help when my mother was chasing me, trying to kill me..."

"I'm telling you now, Shiggy, prioritize the flaming hot cheeto." Dabi growled.

"Already did."

"You've had a bad experience with Endeavor, too, huh?"

"Eh. Might as well tell you who I really am. I'm Touya Todoroki. Endeavor is a horrible father."

"He wasn't even there for his son, huh..." I shook my head. "This is why I want to be a hero. I can't stand the sight of others being overlooked when they're in need."

"I have an idea." Shigaraki smiled. "So, what's your name kid?"

"Kenadie. Kenadie McCarthy." I said. "I do prefer to go by my first name, though. I wasn't born here in Japan."

"Alright then, Kenadie. I want you to do something for us."

"What is it?"

"I want you to get into UA. That way, we have someone on the inside so we can get secrets to expose the false pro heroes with."

"I'll do it, Shigaraki." I nodded.

"But first of all, I am gonna call someone who can help us." Shigaraki walked off as Dabi yelled to him.

"Is it your boyfriend?!"

"Yes!" Shigaraki yelled back and Dabi froze, not expecting that.

It was a half hour later when a person in a light blue hoodie and black sweatpants arrived. He was taller than Shigaraki, and had white hair.

"Shigaraki- That's a Todoroki!" Dabi yelled.

"Don't act like you didn't reveal to us your true identity a half hour ago!" I snapped at him, earning myself a middle finger in return. I stuck my tongue out.

"Calm your claws..." the guy muttered. "I'm Natsuo Todoroki. I'm in med school, so can I look at your injuries?" I nodded, and eventually I was patched up. It felt better, and I was glad I found people with similar experiences to me.
