My parents had nothing. They had no home. They had no jobs. They had no reputation. They had no way to make a living. But they did have love, and time. The love they shared between the both of them was more than anything. So when something finally came for that love they could only give it what they had, which was time. Thus my name Jikan, time.

Even with all the time in the world they could barely keep me alive with what little money they could gather. With them being rejected for a job at every attempt they had no choice but to turn to villainy. They had decently powerful quirk, so villainy would sadly be easy for them. My father can manipulate minds, causing people to become paniced or hazy. My mother can slow things down around her as she chooses. They weren't supervillains. Just very annoying criminals.

Some took pitty on them and let them go with what they got. Thanks to these people, by the age of five I had a home. It was a small two bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood. I was able to go to school, where I met my two friends, Izuku and Bakugo. I would even play with themoutside of school, getting teased for the fact I hung out with boys. I didn't care. Those two were accepting of me.

My parents had fallen deeper into villiany, and seemed to have found a home in it. It didn't make them bad people, it just it was like the only way they could survive. They were anxiously waitibg for me to develop my quirk, so I could help them with their new acquired profession. I was hoping that day would never come.

Too bad my hopes were not granted. My quirk showed. My quirk was time manipulation. It freaked me our alot when i couldn't control it. Time would just stop, or start going slower, or start going faster. Luckily only for a few seconds. I soon got a bit of a hang for it. I still kept it secret from my parents, not wanting them to be able to use it. That didn't stop me from in showing it to my friends. When i showed them it, they thought it was nothing more than speed. I couldn't prove it otherwise, and let them believe that was it.

The first time my parents got arrested, I didn't know what to do. I ran to my friends, for comfort. I only recieved teasing from Bakugo. Izuku was there for me though, and his mom let me stay with her until they were released. In that time i spilled many tears, and my dream in life. I wanted to show my parents vilianly wasn't the only option, even with powerful quirks. I wanted to show them what they were doing was wrong. I wanted to help people. I wanted to be a hero.

That became the normal. Ny parents would get arrested, and I would stay with Izuku. I continued to hid my quirk, havinf everyone but my friends believe I was quirkless like Izuku. I didn't see the harm in it, we could do anything anyone else could do. I even started training to become stronger, hoping to encourage Izuku to do the same.

Then one day in the fourth grade I was walking alone from the corner store. My parents were out on robbing a bank or something, and we were our of food. It was late and the sun was already down. I was pulled into a dark ally, my bag falling our of my hands. I was slammed on a wall by a large man. He was after my parents through me.

I attempted to run away, believing I could survive without my quirk. He garbbed my and beat my legs with a pipe. I felt my banes snap and muscles tear. I screamed for him to stop.  Which he did, surprising me. He stood there arms lip at his sides and a plain face staring off into nothing. He turned and left, just like I wished he had.

That night no one came to find me. With my beaten and battered legs I couldn't walk. I was found in the morning and rushed to the hospital. Due to the delayed treatment I sustained permanent damage. I would never be able to support my self again. There were braces that would assist me, but my family couldn't afford them. Instead i was stuck with crutched, a shattered femir and dreams.

There was no way a disabled person like me could become a hero, even with two quirks. Those quirks that I would refuse to use. Quirks only lead to bad things in my life. I would live without mine. Through the years, continueing to be at Izuku's side, he pieced my dreams back together. I could become a hero. We would both become heroes.
