I ran up to a hero. His black jacket with weird equipment and weird hairstyle hopefully were part of a hero suit.

"Help!" I said before I even reached the hero, "I need help!"

The hero turned to me, "Oh shit—!"
He called into some communicator.
"I found her!"

"Sir," I grabbed the hero's arm, hoping he'd understand my urgency, "he's gonna know I ran!"

"I need you to come with me, I'm pro hero Mic, I'll bring you to safety!"

I nodded, trying to keep myself together, and hurried after him. In a hero agency I explained nearly everything. I couldn't hold it in, I had to tell them how horrible my last few days had been.
Everyhour had felt like a day in itself. I hated how different I felt, how my clothes didn't feel right because I was a murderer now.

Though... I didn't tell them everything. I didn't want to lose the future I hopefully had, so I kept the murder out of the answers.

The hero agency was big I noticed.
There was a room we were sitting in, sound proof, with equipment for interrogations and a mirror to look into the room next to it.
I had refused for anyone to be in the room except for two heroes I knew were to be trusted. I knew they taught at UA, the other heroes I didn't know. For all I knew they could be controlled or brainwashed or... something villain like. At least Nezu was focussed on catching Deku and not aiding him, the rat would be smart.

"I don't know, he just wouldn't leave me alone! He told me that if I told anyone about him he'd do something bad! He put my school on fire!!"

"Calm down," a hero dressed in black said. I recognised the capture gear, but I did my best to ignore how it had almost caught me back then. "Explain what you were doing near UA."
This was Erasurhead, the other hero was Mic. Other heroes were outside the room, holding a meeting while being ready to help if anything happened. They didn't trust me and expected Deku to run after me. No chances were taken.

I sighed, looking away. "He's a psychopath, he planned to break into UA. I didn't know at that time he wanted to do bad things. If I had known I wouldn't... well, I'd like to say I wouldn't have come. He threatened me when I hesitated."

"Why did you never run?"

"I did just now," I looked away, "You see, I'm what they call a coward. I didn't dare run before. I was just scared."

"Scared of what?"

"My family. I don't want them to get hurt, sir."

There was a slight silence.

"Do you have any idea why he was interested in you?"

I thought.
"I'm not sure," for a second the silence was left before I spoke again, "We played chess once, and we had tea. I tried to see him as just another kid so I wouldn't get all scared. I knew who he was, I'd expect a villain would kill a witness and that's why I wanted to treat him like some sort of friend... even though I didn't want him interested in me...You see, I think he thoughts we were friends... however weird that is..." I stopped rambling.

"It's not that weird," Erasurhead said, "He's a kid, just like you."
He understood my ramble?

"And he's insane," Mic muttered, "I'm sorry you had to even come near him."

"He doesn't act insane," I mumbled softly, "Unless he's fighting, or... when you say no or tell him what to do, he doesn't act like a psychopath."

"Some people can seem... normal at first," Erasurhead explained, looking for the right words, "Sometimes it takes knowing a person."

I wondered about that.
