The unknown hero (BNHA)

78

 "I ended up electrocuting all of them. They all died but I just ran. I knew there would be more of them so I can to a place I knew would be safe. The woods behind Endeavour's house. Villains wouldn't care comms close, so I was safe there.

I found a spot, in the roots of a large tree. I lived there for ages but, every week or so, two boys would come out and play in the woods.

Shou and Touya.

Shou never noticed me but Touya did. One day be came out alone to talk to me. I explained everything to him but he didn't hate me. He was kind to me. That day was my ninth birthday, that's why Nine became my villain name. It reminded me of the day I met him.

After that, he would bring me food and water and I'd help him train sometimes. He wanted to be a hero, to show his father that he was wrong. I did whatever I could for him, he was the only person I had who ment anything to me.

He was everything to me. The older brother I had always wanted.

But one night he came to me. He said that his mother has hurt Shou, poured boiling water over his face. He was so angry and I couldn't do anything about it. I tried to stop it, I tried to protect him, but he ended up over using his quirk.

It burned his face and arms and all over his body. I didn't know what to do so I just grabbed him and ran. I took him to the nearest hospital and he was bandaged up. They asked who his guardian was and why we were alone and I panicked so we just ran on to another place.

We lived in the streets for a while. I taught Touya how to pick locks and steal. We stared off just pickpocketing but it got worse. Stealing just became part of our lives, like we couldn't live without it.

Like some sort of addiction.

It was all we really knew how to do, and neither of us could get jobs so we had to anyway. Over those few years, Touya changed. He became more bitter. Morse hateful. He started to have heroes with a passion so when I told him I wanted to be a hero, he turned on me.

We made up but still, he hated it when I decided to go to UA. I wanted to still be there for him, so I was violent towards others. I didn't want anyone else, I thought Touya was enough. But we drifted apart and I ended up with no-one and nowhere to go. I couldn't even work as a sidekick.

So when Nezu offered me a job as security at UA, I accepted. I would meet students, I would have much free time and most teachers wouldn't even really know about me, only that there was someone with a quirk suited for security work, but I was fine with that.

I was used to being alone.

I guess that's when we get to me meeting you guys and... Everything that happened after. I'm sorry for everything, though I know it doesn't mean anything, coming from a murderer like me.

In case you're wondering, Shou is being held at Tartaurus. He's too broken and there's nothing that can be done about it. He'll be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

It's unsure what's going to happen to me. The courts still haven't decided. Either, I'll be in prison for life of given a long sentence, but still be able to get out on parol. It seems that my reason for joining the villains had everyone stumped.

Hey, but maybe you guys can visit me sometime? I know what I did is wrong and I want to be able to talk to each of you, so I can apologise properly."
