P.O.V. [Name]

I woke up in a room that was cover with metal it was really bright and I saw two figures in front of me. I remember seeing them around Beacon I think their names are Emerald and Mercury.

"Hello [Name] so here's the deal we've taken notice of your skills and we want you to join us." Emerald said looking at me.

"Join you don't make me laugh. I'd rather die than join you." I said looking at them. I then tried to use my semblance but when I did I felt a shock go throughout my entire body.

"Like it? It's a special color that we devolped. It sends a one thousand volt shock to the body anytime you try to use your Semblance." Emerald said looking at me.

"Yeah so this your last chance before we start playing rough." I heard Murcury say looking at me. I said nothing and the two of them sighed and walked out of the room before they came back with a pack and unrolled it on the table in front of me.

I put my head down and waited for them to do whatever it was they were going to do. I then felt a kick to my face. Then another solid kick to my face.

I then looked up at them and saw Emerald hold a long metal rod with one end that had turned red from heat. I closed my eyes as I saw it come towards me.

I then felt it sink into my skin and gritted my teeth as it easily went through my skin. I then felt them take the metal rod out. Then Murcury got close to me and smiled.

"We can keep going all day or we can do this the easy and you join us. Trust me you won't regret joining the crew." He said looking at me.

"Then again of you don't join us" he said putting his thumb into the wound that the rod had made. "Only pain will follow" he said looking at me. When he said this I smiled and used my semblance.

When I did I felt the same shock as before however because Murcury had his hand in my wound he also felt the shock that I was experiencing.

When he felt it he pulled his thumb out and looked at me before kicking me in the face. This time he kicked me much harder than he did the times before. "Relax Murcury he'll be here soon. I'm sure he'll be able to get through to him." Emerald said looking at him.

The door then opened and in walked someone that I had heard a lot about from Blake. The famous criminal Roman I looked at him as he walked over to me. "Look young [Name] you would be far better working for us then you would be working for Beacon." He said looking at me.

"What makes you think I'm going to believe that?" I said looking at him.

"[Name] look at the facts. They didn't give you a partner. Your team always leaves you behind when they go on a mission and Carbin and the others are always harassing you because you actually care about faunas." He said looking at me.

He wasn't exactly wrong but that doesn't mean his way of doing things is right. He then put his hand on my shoulder and I used my semblance to shock him. He jerked away and then smiled at me.

"You see its that kind of fighting spirit that everyone else lacks. This is why we want you and not the other members of your team. Think about it [Name]. Who would you rather be with? On a team where they don't appreciate what they have or somewhere were your skills and talents will really make a difference." He said looking at me.

"I want to make difference but not like this not with you and your criminal organization." I said looking at him.

"Criminals? Tell me [Name] do you see Emerald and Murcury as criminals? I mean did you see them as criminals before all this took place?" He asked looking at me.

"No why?" I asked looking at him.

"That's because like you they were given a bad hand in life. When they joined us they wanted to make a difference. Does it really matter how make a difference or how we obtain what's important to make that difference." He said looking at me.

"Yes it matters. That's like letting a family into a city then later finding out that half of them had to go into slavery." I said looking at him.

He chuckled when he heard this. "Tell me [Name] and I want the truth. If you were put in a situation where you had to choose between yourself and Emeralds life. Which would you choose?" He asked looking at me.

"Her life obviously." I said without thinking.

"Now why is that? You know she's a criminal which means that you also know that she's capable of killing others and will most likely go on on to kill someone. So why would you give your life for hers?" Roman asked looking at me.

"I don't know. Something about choosing my life over hers just doesn't feel right." I said looking at him.

"Yes so why not join our organization if you do join you'd never be forced to make a choice like that. I can promise you that much." He said looking at me. I was silent when he said this but then heard him sigh and get up.

"At least think about it." He said walking out of the room.

I sighed and looked at ceiling. After a few minutes of silence I once again heard the door open. "Roman I'm not joining your organization I just can't bring myself to work for someone like you." I said looking at the ceiling.

"I know they told me so I thought that maybe you'd like to work for me." I heard a new feminine voice say
