A long white corridor stretched out as far as the eye could see.  Lights covered the ceiling and along the walls were large, metal gates, ready to snap shut at a moments notice. Between these gates, were windows, showing the inside of cells, each with someone tied up with chains or ropes.

Five people marched down the hallway. Four, dressed in military uniforms, armed with pistols. The other, in a orange jumpsuit, their hands handcuffed behind their back, mismatched eyes scanning their surroundings.

Nine- no, Satomi- followed the guards down the familiar corridors until one of the guards signaled for her to stop. They opened a door and guided them into a room where a single chair faced a large window. Satomi sat at the chair and placed her hand on the window, a small smile on her face.

That smile had so much meaning. So much happiness, and so much sorrow. Guilt and love and everything in between.

A hand was placed on the other side of the glass and she felt a slight warmth as orange flames licked at the glass. Todoroki's mismatched eyes met hers but he didn't smile. His eyes flickered to the guards behind her. On of them nodded and they left the room. They would still be watching though.

Todoroki was watched 24/7, day and night. Now that Satomi was there, they wouldn't look away for a second.

"Hey, Shou. It's been a while."

Todoroki laughed slightly and smiled at Satomi. "Five years."

Satomi smiled wider but only for a second before her face returned to it's normal, neutral expression. "I'm sorry, Shou. All of this was my fault. I'm the one that got you involved in all of this. You could have been one of the best heroes if I hadn't done that to you."

"No. I made that decision myself. Everything I did was something I chose to do. And I don't regret it. I didn't want to be a hero anyway. If I could do it again, I would, only maybe not get caught as easily."

"Oh." Satomi stared at the floor, her face completely devoid of emotion. "You don't feel even a bit bad about it? Like being a villain was the wrong choice?"

"No.  But, you're not questioning it are you? You and Touya are the ones who taught me all of this who made me who I am. You can't question that decision. It was the right one, the best one. Don't question it."

Satomi couldn't hide her shock. Her eyes opened wide and she looked up at Todoroki, her hand still on the glass, by his.

"No, I'm not questioning it. I know, I'm certain, that it was the wrong thing to do. If I could do things again, I would chose not to do it. Any of it. I would have just become a normal, everyday hero, and lived my life. I regret every decision I ever made that sent me down this path."

Her hand dropped from the glass and she stood up to ,eave the room.

"But, most of all, I regret bringing you into it."
