"have you ever wondered what happened all those years ago? a night that you can't seem to remember quite right?" my skin crawls as his face grows closer to mine, the hot breath he breathes onto my face forces me to swallow the pile that threatens to fill my throat.
i'm frozen in place and i quickly blink away the surprise that widens in my eyes.
how does he know about that?
"i don't know what you're talking about," my voice comes out as a barely audible whisper, even to my own ears. the voices of souls seem to be on the edges of my mind almost as if they are staying as far away from this man as they can.
the man smirks a nauseating smile, showing off his browning teeth as villainous delight seems to dance in his bright red eyes.
red eyes that are nothing like the ones i find myself falling deeper into.
he stands upwards abruptly and puts his hands behind his back as he takes a step away from me, finally able to release the breath i didn't know i was holding in.
"four years ago, you found yourself in the middle of the city surrounded by rubble and no recollection of what happened. you were told that a villain had attacked you and your family, but was defeated by the hero mirko."
"why are you telling me all of this." i feel my hands turn to fists as i attempt to pull myself out of the chains around my wrists. my tone comes out harsh as i stare down the villain and i find my mind wondering off to monstrous things.
a childish giggle echoes across the room and my eyes shoot to the girl, holding a hand over her mouth to cover her mouth while dabi snickers next to her.
"you truly were told nothing of the past, just as master said." the villain in front of me begins to harshly itch at his neck, dry flecks of skin floating down to the ground with every nail he digs deeper into his skin.
"what do you want from me."
"oh i want nothing from you miyamoto konomi. but my master wants me to give you this information for our future plans." his smirks grows wide as he comes closer again. i suck in a sharp breath when he slams his hand next to my head and i feel a strand of hair twisting through his fingers.
"four years ago, there was no villain that attacked you and your family. there was no villain that killed your parents. it was you who did it."
my mind turns to sludge at his words and i can hear my heart thudding inside of my ears.
he's lying.
there's no way that's the truth.
they wouldn't lie to me.
"at this point, you're attempting to convince yourself that i'm lying to you. that you're family wouldn't lie to you about killing your parents or causing all of that destruction. i went through the same exact thing when i killed my family, but the master showed me that i'm special."
i can't process his words as my entire body turns to ice, hairs standing on their ends all over me.
"that night, your body was taken over by the darkness of your quirk that you couldn't control. all you needed was a little nudge in the right direction," the villain mutters as he opens up to dabi who now stands and bows slightly with a blue flame dancing in his palm. "and the master could get all the information he needed about your potential."
i feel my blood begin to boil as he spews these horrendous lies about my family as questions begin to send me spiraling into a fit of anger.
"YOU'RE LYING TO ME!" i scream at him, feeling bits of saliva spit towards him as anger and confusion begin to swirl in my mind. my lungs heave for air as i tug harshly at the metal around my wrists.
"well we figured that you would react this way. and so we brought you all the evidence you could ever need." the man turns around and gestures to the smiling blonde girl. she jumps up from her seat and turns towards the television on the wall in front of us.
what looks like camera footage caught overlooking the top of a large building in the city, zooms in on three different blobs of people in the middle of the darkened and empty street.
i freeze when blurred footage of my mother and father are caught in their hero suits. yellow and white indicating my mother, black and blue for my father. they have their hands out as they slowly creep forwards. the camera seems to swing to the third person across from them.
tears begin to stream down my face when, what looks like, a smaller form of myself shows up and is grabbing and pulling at her hair. the camera zooms out to get the full view of the three of them in the street. the small girl drops to her knees and a large crater forms under her as she falls.
she throws her hands out to either side of her body and a dark misty cloud forms around her body. a bright white light flashes the screen for a moment before it dwindles away, leaving the girl laying inside of the crater in the street.
the heroes are no where in sight.
the glass is shattered all around her and the large buildings that surrounded her began to fall around her until a familiar white bunny hero kicks away the rubble that threatens to fall on the girl. a bright flashing of light zooms around in the air blasting away any rubble the other hero can't reach.
once all the rubble is cleared from the limp body of the girl, the zooming body of light and bunny hero rush to the girls side. another form of a little boy, retracting from the shadows below her.
the camera zooms in on the girl laying in the crater as she begins to float upwards, the dark mist from before forming around the girls body once again and this time taking shape.
my breath is taken from my lungs when the dark mist forms into a familiar one that i've seen before inside of my mind. during that fight with the nomu after it knocked me out. it's shining white eye lighting up the street below as the girls body hangs limply as the dark mist rises from her back.
a fight begins between the three figures and the dark mist, but my eyes begin to blur and all i can see are blobs of color flashing across the screen. my body turns to ice watching the footage and my head goes limp from the overwhelming amount of information dumped on me as questions fill my mind.
this is all a lie.
there's no way this is real.
it's a fake video, my parents were killed by a villain.
that isn't me in the video.
what do they want from me?
can i go home?
if this is real, that means they lied to me for so many years.
why would they do something like that?
they wouldn't do something like that, right?
my hearing cuts out as all feeling in my body loosens. i only know i let out a scream because i can taste the irony taste of blood from my raw throat. i can't even fight back when my arm is tugged nearly out of my socket as i'm dragged backwards and under a purple curtain.
my vision turns dark as blood and blue flames flicker all around me.
i can't endure the pain that the man slashes onto my body because i simply cannot feel anything.
