Melt My Frozen Heart (Todoroki FF)

1. The Beginning

Y/N POV

I remember the day it happened. My parents, heroes called the Underworld Duo, were sitting in the living room. They were heroes. I was in the floor, listening to them tell stories of villains who never triumph. That was when the wall was smashed in by a beam, sending debris flying through our living room.

My parents quirks made them valuable, but dangerous. Like me, I guess. Not that I ever use my quirk anymore. My mom manipulate shadows, my dad darkness. You probably think they sound like villains, but they're heroes. At least, they were, when they were still alive.

As the debris flew through the room, I saw something I'd never seen from my parents: fear. "Well, what do we have here? A nice family evening?" A voice cackled. A masked figure appeared through the massive hole in our wall.

"Is this your daughter? What a pretty thing." It was a man, you could tell from his voice. "Get away from her," My father soar through gritted teeth. My moms eyes turned black, letting her power take over. Since she manipulated shadows, she could invite them into her, giving her more power.

Unfortunately, the villain in our house knew that too.

He sent a beam forward, impaling my mother, leaving her to fall to the floor, dead.

My father snapped. He lunged at the villain, fighting back tears, trying to be strong. But I could tell he was breaking. Apart of my quirk is seeing what a persons worst fear is. My fathers worst fear was losing my mother.

He was living his nightmare. It didn't last long, though.

Since he was impaled almost immediately too.

I tried to make my quirk work. I could see someone worst fear, and manipulate shadows into showing them to people. Or I could use it like my mother, and use the shadow to destroy things.

But I couldn't push myself to destroy this villain.

My father dropped next to my mother, his chest no longer rising and falling. He was dead too.

I was thrown into a van. I remember thinking, hoping that the heroes would show up. I had watched the U-A sorts festival earlier that year. I'd seen so many quirks from so many young heroes, even some quirks similar to mine, like the Tokoyami boy. But nobody showed up to save me. Not even the symbol of peace, All Might.

I was taken away from my home, now an orphan. I was kept as a slave to the villains, and they experimented on me and my quirk. They wanted to use it for evil. They wanted to make everyone's worst fears a reality, but they'd need me to activate my quirk. Which I wouldn't do.

I tried to be strong. And I held in for months, when I had just about given up hope.

I had lost my hope in heroes, and of ever getting saved. I was slowly falling into despair, my heart getting encased in ice. A frozen heart can't be melted by shadows and fear.

Then one day, they showed up. The heroes, I mean. They weren't any of the pros. Actually, it was some U-A students I recognized from the festival.

The green haired boy with freckles, Izuku Midoriya. The girl with black hair and sparkling eyes, Momo, I forgot her last name. Ejirou Kirishima, the one with red hair. And Shouto Todoroki, the half hot, half cold boy.

I wasn't happy. Just numb. My body was too exhausted. They found me locked in a basement, the villains tried to hide me when the heroes showed up. They checked my pulse and established that I was healthy. They were friendly.

"You're gonna be okay, alright? We're gonna take you back to U-A where the pros will take care of you, okay?" Izuku told me like I was a child, even though I was as old as them. I merely nodded and went with them.

And just like that, I was saved. Did I trust them? No. I couldn't trust anyone anymore. Not myself, not my quirk.

Nobody.

Nothing could melt my frozen heart.
