Horrible Memories That Aren't Mine

Bang.

I saw my mother. I reached out for her and she was coming towards me but Endeavor stepped in front of me. I felt my flames burn my skin. I tried to chase after my mom but something was pulling her away from me and Endeavor was blocking everything. I yelled in frustration.

Bang.

I saw my mom crying. She was repeating the words 'Touya's ran away. He's ran away.' I feel horrible. I saw myself in the streets while Endeavor was beating my brother.

Bang.

Mom was scared that Shoto would be like Endeavor. I was the child that looked just like Endeavor.

Bang.

Hawks was taken by the government after he did a good deed.

Bang.

A little boy's parents were shot.

Bang.

The little boy of a guy someone killed was sobbing.

Then everything went white. I looked at myself. I looked like Touya again. No scars. I looked around and saw young Shoto walking to the 'training' room. I saw my mom walking into police custody. I saw myself right before I tried to kill myself with my own flames and burnt myself. I saw the sobbing boy right before he was about to open the door and find out the horrible news. I saw Hawks being taken to start training.

It was a sad group. A group that was about to be scarred forever. If I can reach them the boy won't cry, Shoto won't be hurt, Mom won't be taken, I won't be stitched up, Hawks will be a hero and a normal boy. 

I ran toward them but something was holding me back. I saw Endeavor and a bunch of demons. I tried to run but every time I moved the skin that was supposed to be burnt, sizzled. I ran anyway but they were getting farther away. I screamed for them to come back. I ran and ran but they were always out of reach. My skin warped and fizzled. I looked like Dabi again. I ran anyway until a figure stopped me. He was completely made of blue flames like mine. 

"Who are you? We need to stop them. They'll be hurt-" I was reaching toward the sad parade of people.

The figure grabbed me and started melting into me. His touch burned me to my very core. I tried to yank away but I couldn't move. Flames were enveloping me again. This time my heart was hurting. I want this to stop. I was blocked by walls of flames. But they had memories in them.

One flame showed my mom in her worst moments. Being forced to marry my dad, hurting Shoto, saying if a child reminded her of Endeavor's bad side they were going to become a monster. 

Another showed Hawks crying at night because he was taken from his family and friends. It showed him in pain when he was captured. Him frozen in the face of a monster.

Another showed the boy crying for his dad. He was screaming in fury and pain. The news hurt him to his very core. His heart darkened and he became a villain.

The flames started to die out. And the flames died I felt like I was dying. I laid down and whispered sorry to the ashes as they blinked out. 

Everything went black.
