Astraea

I noticed my power change when that gas hit me. A part of me changed. My power grew. There were things i couldn't do before. There were things I could do that seemed out of the ordinary. The energy was mine to use. I could do more than i ever imagined.

But that comes with harm done. I didn't know how to control it. I didn't know what to do with it.

I still don't know what to do with it. Everything else is a mystery so I relied with what I knew and that was fighting. I mixed my combat with the knowledge of my quirk and combined them together and i've had no trouble. I may stay weaker than most but my combat improves, inching closer to perfection. I don't risk anyone getting hurt but I always wanted to learn to be a hero.
Despite the prices you have to pay, I imagined myself making a name for me, a name where I'm known for saving others and defeating countless villains.

I imagine telling the world, no one should suffer because of another's feeling of hatred and evil and I want to make sure everyone has a chance at a good life and follow the path they want to follow.

I want to save the world from what I went through.. but I can't now.

"Todoroki, Bakugo?" I tugged on both their sleeves, stopping them on the barren dirt road.

We reached Klayd not too long ago and were walking to the bike shop Aurora told us about. That girl knows everything.
"My father and the shop owner are good friends and he also owes me a favor or two so just give him this, he'll know what it means. Good luck my love."

"Is everything ok?" Todoroki turned to me, Bakugo walking a fair distance before looking back.

"It's fine, we can keep walking but I just have a question to ask", these two boys were the strongest i've ever known. They competed in the UA sports festival placing both first and second overall. They wield dangerous weapons with grace and power and aren't phased by it. They're not overwhelmed what so ever and so nonchalant about being born with such amazing abilities, but it comes with a price so..

"How did you guys become so powerful?"

Bakugo scoffed, "I was just born that way ya nobody".

He's so useless.

"Well I expected that answer from you. You're so egotistical".

"RECOGNIZE MY GREATNESS YOU WEAK ASS SIDEKICK".

"Anyways.. Todoroki what about you? Your quirk is basically two quirks in one and polar opposites, that's something i've never seen before." I pulled out a small device from my a pocket, playing a recording from the sports festival.

"You have incredible strength with your quirk and even that kid Midoriya is strong too. He has incredible willpower to keep going even when his bones broke, and he even used his broken ones to fight! He's amazing and so are you." I smiled, closing the video and putting the device in my pocket.

"Thank you Konya" Todoroki sotfly smiled down at me, scratching the back of his neck.

"I told you that you don't have to be so formal and call me by my last name. Just call me Astraea or Astra or even ash tray if you want but not konya".

"Don't give Bakugo any more nickname ideas, he will never get rid of them".

"HEY LOOK AT MINE I KICKED ASS".
Thank the gods he wasn't listening.

Bakugo reached for the device in my pocket only to received a hard hit on his head in return.

"Don't touch my stuff blondie. Your egos too big so you're not getting anymore praise until you answer my question." I pushed past him as I kept walking forward up the dirt road, feeling triumph in me.
