The Story

Hope's pov

I sat on recovery girls bed. Uraraka was sitting next to me as we talked about random things. Deku was sitting next to Uraraka at the end of the bed and Mr Aizawa was standing in the doorway.

The other bed was being shared by my other four close friends, they squeezed together uncomfortably. Bakugo was starting to get very angry at Todoroki who was being pushed into him by Momo and Tsu. Which I thought was pretty funny

I had promised the group that I would tell them anything they'd like to know about me in response to Mr. Aizawa agreeing to let me keep my quirk.

"Okay tell us already" Bakugo groaned from across the room

I giggled at his comment
"You gotta be a little more specific or else I'll be talking for ever" I said jokingly

"How are you related to Shigaraki?" Mr. Aizawa asked.

Oh yeah, I guess he doesn't know either

I took in a long breath before thinking of my word choice.

"He..."

I looked up in thought, trying to think of the right way to explain this. I suppose I had never really thought about this before, weird...

"He was my guardian I suppose" I said finally

I looked back down to meet confused faces so I smiled and explained

"Do you know how some people pick who they have kids with just so their kids could have good quirks?" I asked

I wasn't sure how to explain my situation so I firgured I would try to start on a topic they understood.

They all looked at each other and nodded. I heard Todoroki sigh and he responded with a small "yes"

"Well, imagine that instead of one of the parents keeping their kid...they just"
I stopped for a second as I felt my breath hitch in my throat
"Sold them" I finished

I didn't look up to see anyone's expressions because I didn't want to lose my train of thought

"Believe it or not you can make really good money that way. If you know for a fact that your kid will have a strong quirk you can sell them off for thousands if not hundreds of thousands"

I started to play with the blanket I was sitting on

"I used to wonder who my real parents were. If they ever wanted to meet me or if I was just a check to them..."

I quickly knocked myself out of my trance before anyone could start to worry about me. I titled my head up and sent a smile to no one in particular

"I was taken in by a group of people when I was baby. Well, me and another person.."

"Who was the other person?" Momo asked suddenly.

I sweatdropped

Did I say there was another person?

Wow, I talk too much

"Oh, them? Uh..thats uh..not important, don't worry!" I said. I was postive they could tell I wasnt willing to talk about the person and luckily it seemed like they all shrugged it off.

I sighed contently and went back to my story

"The man in charge of the group was very powerful. Scary, even. After the fight between him and All Might I took my chance and left, knowing he was in prison."

My classmates gasped and Izuku looked over at me with a serious look on his face

"Are you talking about All For One...?"
