I Fear That They Know About My Quirk

TW: There's a chunk of italicized text towards the end that alludes to an accident/trauma. 

But otherwise, it's just more information about Mikutori's quirk, and a taste of her home life with her mother.

Walking into the locker room, the other six girls all stopped changing and looked at the door Mikutori stood in front of, staring at her, but not with mean or disgusted looks. No, they seemed curious and kind. She stopped for a second before scoffing and walking back to her locker, undoing her shirt before slipping out of it, grabbing her white uniform shirt. She tended to cover her vulnerability with annoyance.

"K-Kumosora? We were just talking about our quirks...we were wondering what yours was called?" Uraraka asked, standing behind the gray-feathered girl, staring at the terrible reddish scar running down her entire back. Mikutori didn't say anything, pulling on her white uniform shirt and buttoning it up before turning around.

"If you really must know, it's called Fear Feathers. I telekinetically control the feathers from my head and can cause people to see their greatest fears if touched," she said, rolling her eyes lightly before turning back towards her locker to change her pants back to the short green skirt of their uniform. She immediately scolded herself; she should have kept that information to herself. People always got scared of her after finding out about her quirk.

"So...only if someone touches your feathers?" A girl with black eyes and pink skin asked, seeming both curious and nervous, the other girls stared wide-eyed at Mikutori. She was used to the looks; most people avoided her after finding out about her quirk, so having the six other girls in the class stare at her like this was nothing new.

"If I'm actually controlling the feathers, yes," Mikutori growled out, still facing the lockers. She was glad no one else was talking in the room, it made it easier to hear the girl's question without looking at her directly.

If the feathers were still attached to her head, then no, touching them would do nothing. But, if she was telekinetically controlling them and had them touch or prick someone, they would see their biggest fears for any amount of time, depending on how long they were in contact with the feather. She could barely hear Uraraka's shaky breath, but before she could say anything, Yaoyorozu spoke from further away, Mikutori finally pulling on her converse.

"That's...really cool."

Mikutori knew better, her quirk was better fit for someone like a villain, but she didn't want to be known as that. It was one of the reasons she pushed people away, for no one wanted to be around the girl that made them see their fears. Don't get her wrong; she did try making and keeping friends as a child, but no one wanted to be friends with the girl that could make you hallucinate your fears.

They didn't understand, though, for nothing would happen by just being around her, it was only if the feathers touched them while being telekinetically controlled. She wasn't dangerous like that.

Another reason she stayed away from people, for she could see these fears as well, and hated seeing such scary things all of the time. Though at this point, she was mostly desensitized to the fears, as none of them were her own. It was hard to get over while growing up, but at this point she was pretty numb to any other person's fears.

Mikutori bit her tongue to keep from scoffing again, grabbing her backpack before heading towards the door, feathers ruffling in annoyance. She was a real force to be reckoned with, and the other six girls stood in silence as she left, she wasn't making it very easy for these other girls to be nice to her. As the door closed behind her, Mikutori could no longer hear their conversation.
