I sat down on a wooden table. The room was small and suffocating. There was a sole box on the table. A voice recorder.

The door opened and a police officer walked in.

"Sorry for the wait Miss Kagarashi", he politely said but a hint of coldness echoes off his tongue.

Right now I was being inspected. After the attack at USJ the people dragged from my hometown started verbally attacking me making false claims against me and now I was being investigated.

It was ridiculous honestly. If I was lying then they wouldn't be able to hold me one place. The fact that I'm sitting here obediently should portray my innocence but it seems the public viewed it differently.

"Miss Kagarashi you will be expected in a court room five days from now due allegations of compromising with the league of villains", i grit my teeth, "until proven otherwise you will held in solidarity confinement".

I sighed. Why does this shit happen to me.

"I would like to have your own opinion of the matter since it seems Almight wants to advocate for your innocence" he beckoned closer in interest,

I stared at him. It was better not to say anything. But I felt words start rolling off the tip of my tongue.

"I-I didn't know what was happening... those people I knew them before but... I never did anything to them! In fact it was the opposite!", I felt tears of frustration build up and I wiped them. My shoulders started shaking and more threatened to come out but I pushed them back.

"This isn't fair why are you doing this to me", I cried, "just because that man was my uncle! You do realise I could just leave and nobody could realise until I've vanished like thin air!... but I'm going to see this through so you guys leave me alone", I felt another sob wanting burst.

The police officers face didn't change at all. Nothing went through to him but he had no hand in the matter except to ask these questions.

"There was allegation that you attempted to attack the people dragged into this.", it wasn't a question but a statement.

I stared at him knowing I couldn't get out of this one so I nodded.

"Yes I attempted to- but I wasn't going to hurt them just... speak to them", I wasn't sure what I was going to do to them my mind had become devoid of anything else at that moment.

"How did seeing them prey on your sensitivity?", he asked probably the most informative question as of yet.

I breathed in a shaky breath.

"11 years ago we lived in the countryside in a far away village... the place were those people live. I'm sure you heard. I- My mother had a child after me- a boy- he was with us for 1 and 4 months and then he died", I felt a spurge of pain and tears slowly drifted down my face. "He had a fever and after what happened with my uncle we became outcasts at the village. The hospital there was also aware of what happened to my uncle and they refused to give any treatment".

The officer pulled out some documents related to my brothers death.

"There's evidence of it. However Ella Kagarashi not much can justify the messy situation your in. All I can say is your lucky you have a few influential people backing you otherwise you should be worried -but mark my words this will leave a very ugly scar on your career as a hero".

The room assigned to me was small; barely 3 square metres. A bed, a toilet and enough space to stand.

Screeching resounded the empty room and a small hole shaped like a letter box appeared. A woman glared at me from the other side.

"You have a visitor; get out." She spewed the words as if she was speaking to a murderer.

While she dragged me along I could feel her nails stabbing into my shoulder yet sitting where I was I wish she walked a longer route.

I sat in front of a woman who barely looked like she got any sleep and stared at me with a heartbroken expression. She opened her mouth to speak but instead let out a sob.

"I shouldn't have let you go to U.A" after she cleared her voice she carried on crying and eventually her time was up. She struggled against the officer hoping to stay.

"Mrs Hotako please give me some time with her as well!", there was a cry of a familiar voice which held onto apologetic tones among a desperate voice.

"Izuku!", I stood up abruptly from my seat. The chair screeched with the sheer force that elated from my legs.

"El!", his voice was muffled on the other side but as his face came into view, it became clearer.

"Is everyone ok at school? Did anyone get hurt?" my voice cracked as the last word left my throat, my worries overflowing my emotions.

"You shouldn't care about anyone when you got your self like this! Almighty said he'll get you out no matter what!" he had tears and snot streaming down his face. His eyes held so much pain.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you" he started crying and I shook my head.

"It was out of our control, out of all of our control...", it was like an ominous force was haunting us at that moment and only time will tell what happens next.

Bakugo held Todoroki by his collar. His face screamed his emotions of rage whilst Todoroki had a dissociated look on his face.

"You were supposed to protect her! That was the agreement half and half! What the fuck went wrong!", Bakugo's face only told half of what he felt inside. He was ready to break into jail and free her and Todoroki had the complicated task of holding him off.

Todorokis first clenched. His nails pierced his skin ignoring the cries his body gave.

It was his fault.

He knew it.

Part of him blamed his father, yet it all circled back to himself.
