I starred out over the city, it was dark. I don't know when I zoned out but I've been up here all day, my stomach was empty but not in pain. I slowly stood, my weak body was stiff. Rain began to fall, the drops slowly touched any surface area in could. An urge to jump of the edge and just plummet down to the pavement grew, not because I was suicidal or sad but to test my limits, the world's limits. Could I survive that fall in the right situation? I guess I'll never truly know. I turn and sigh, I walk back the the fire escape when a voice spoke out to me. "You shouldn't be our so late." The voice was deep and raspy, a lightbulb lit up in my head. A deep hatred boiled in my stomach, I turn to him, my hair stuck to my face and neck.
"I thought you were done with hero work, Aizawa." His name came off my tongue thick and venom filled.
"(L/N). It's been a long time. I hope you're staying out of trouble." His voice was calm and unwavering, my fist tighten slightly.
"Yes, of course. I work at a gas station. I have an apartment." I answer simply, pushing my anger down.
"Good to hear."
"I should go, bye... Mr. Aizawa."

I left without another word, I walked down the stairs slowly. I didn't want to be around any of the teachers, I knew they knew my ability and that made it harder for me. I walked down the now raining street, my eyes were tunneled as my thoughts took over once more. My body was on auto pilot as people passed by and the bright city lights kept everything aglow. As I numbly walked, my right started to shake snapping me back to the present. I instantly look down and pull my hand up, I swallow a large lump that sat in my throat. I look around frantically and realized I'm alone on a dark road, I was confused of how or when I got there. "Shit..." I mumbled out, fear started to bubble up in my chest. This heavy weight started to crash me, like someone was just staring at me, I look around frantically. My breathing started to increase as  my body started to shake more. "W-who's there?" I mumble not being able to muster anymore courage. I soft bang rang out from the alley to the right of me, without a second thought, I was gone. My legs started to run, I didn't know where I was going but I was gone. My quirk relies on my touching my target, knowing where they are and getting close. I am easy picking if it's out of nowhere.

My legs carried me about a block or two before I had to stop to breath, I walk into a 24/7 convenient store and pant heavily. "Fuck. Fuck!" I growl out, I slowly sit down on the linoleum tiles.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" The cashier asks, I nod in response.
"I-I'm sorry, I got spooked." I laugh, breathless. My lungs hurt some but I'll have to work on my endurance... again.

I sat there on the floor for quite some time before I could gather my emotions and fix my shirt some. I bid the cashier good day and walk out of the store, I quickly go home. While in the store I figured out where exactly I was and knew my house was an mile north from here.

I walked up the stairs, my legs sore and my body tired. I rummage through my bag for my keys and pull them out but notice the door was slightly open. I push the heavy door open and cautiously enter. I didn't need anymore excitement for tonight so I sighed in defeat. "If you're here to kill me, wait 'til I fall asleep at least and make it quick." I put my bag down.
"Now that's rude, I'd never kill you." I froze knowing that voice.
"Kenji." I sigh, I didn't turn to him.
"Oh, come on (Y/N)~ don't be like that~" I could hear the smirk on his face.
"Leave my house." I sigh, not wanting to deal with his shit.
"Only if you face me." I heard him come closer to my back, I turn but keep my eyes closed.
"Now get out."
"You don't trust me that much? I'm hurt." His voice shifted into a mocking tone, I resist from killing him here and now.
"Last time we talked you used your quirk against me, so excuse me for being cautious." I growl out, I hated that I couldn't see but I had to make sure he didn't try to pull that shit again.
"I apologized and you can't say you didn't like it~" his hand touches my waist.
"I'll kill you, if you don't leave now. This is your last warning."
"Fine. Fine." He backs off, "but you'll be begging for me one day." I stayed silent as he leaves, I turn around and open my eyes.
"Asshole."

[Incase you were wondering, his quirk is "instant lover" no mater the gender; he can control someone into becoming madly in love with him. But there in an age thing that they have to be 5 years older or younger for it to work. And he must make eye contact for at least 10 seconds to activate it.]

I sigh walking into my kitchen and make myself a microwave dinner due to my lazy self. I ate and collapsed on my bed, knocking out within seconds. Have to be rested for tomorrow's meeting, what can go wrong?
