Opposites Attract

Annalise

I woke up in a bed a wrap around my neck but my bruises and cuts were all gone. As I continued to look around the room I jumped when I saw a figure in a chair beside me. It was Todoroki.

"Shoto?" I ask and he hummed looking up from the book that was in his lap, "What happened? Is everyone else okay?"

"Yeah, you and Midoriya were the only hurt students." He said in his usual plain expression, "The teachers were impressed with the fight you put up."

"Oh... well I sort of let the anger get the best of me." I sigh as I looked down at my hands, "I shouldn't have done that, I should have let All Might handle it."

"All Might couldn't have done what you did back there." Todoroki said as he leaned back in the chair that he was sat in, "Besides if it weren't for you we all could have died, the way you helped your dad. The way you didn't let your weak form get the better of you. Everyone can learn a thing or two from the way you pushed forward yesterday. I know I could."

I couldn't help but smile, a small coat of pink covering my cheeks. My mind started racing as I looked at his different colored eyes. That was something that made my heart melt for no reason at all. I just loved his eyes, and his hair.

"How about my dad, is he okay?" I ask as I sit up slowly, I would wince but I don't seem to care about the pain currently shooting through my body.

"He's hurt badly, but he's not dead if that's what your asking." Todoroki said and I raise an eyebrow at him, way to turn that dark.

"I guess that's a good thing." I say as I fiddle with my fingers, "So did the pros catch the villains?"

"Most of them, the rest disappeared with the purple smoke guy." Todoroki explained and I nod slowly, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, recovery girl really worked her magic." I say as I twist my head around to make sure that the pain in my neck was gone and it was.

"That's good, the class was worried." Todoroki said and it looked like he wanted to say something else but he kept it to himself.

I stay quiet unsure of what to say and then I speak quietly, "Do you think that my quirk is an evil one?"

Todoroki looked up at me, I can't tell what he was thinking. I'm usually good at reading emotions but when it came to him. He's impossible, he has this stone cold face that is impossible to break. I don't think I've even seen him smile, like a real smile. I've seen the ends of his lips twitch up but that's about it.

"I mean, it's like controlling people. So I guess that there would be people who think it's evil." He replied as he looked away and leaned into the chair.

I frown and look down at my hands. Around my wrists were black indents in my skin, same with around my knuckles. It was just part of the way I look for my quirk. I have some on my ankles, elbows, and knees. I hated it, I always thought that I looked weird but I was just glad that I never had the mouth part.

"Why'd you ask?" Todoroki asked causing me to look up from my hands, "Did someone say something?"

I noticed him scoot forward a little bit and I swallow before I speak, "Well, when the man with all the hands and the blue hair had me... I guess you could say captive. He was telling my dad how useless his quirk was, but then he brought up mine. And how it's the perfect quirk for a villain."

"Are you worried about that?" Todoroki asked tilting his head just slightly and I shrug, "Annalise..."

"You can call me Annie." I say quietly and he looked at me before nodding slowly.

"Right Annie." He said softly before looking into my eyes, "So?"

"Well... it just made me think. If villains thought that I had a quirk that was so evil... would they try and get it somehow? Like kidnap me or something." I explain but when I see his confused look I quickly shake my head, "Sorry that's stupid, of course that wouldn't happen. I'm just being over dramatic. I guess that when I get scared I start thinking of the worse, but I'm sure that a lot of people do that-"

"Annie it's okay." Todoroki finally cut me off from my ramble that would have gone on forever if he didn't, "It's reasonable to be scared after that. I don't know anyone who wouldn't be."
