"We can't do this!" I heard Midoriya scream before a loud explosion was heard. Shit. They were going to fight it out. I couldn't help but think about what Katsuki said though.

Uncle Toshi? Able to pass on his quirk?

Katsuki is either insane or extremely smart. There was no in-between at this point. How long has this been festering? How long has he been thinking this?

Is this why he seemed distant at times? Overly angry at the world and pitiful towards me? Is this why? Over this?

Explosions ricochet all around the facility, destroying windows and parts of buildings, did they even know how much this shit cost??

The tears that I had tried keeping under wraps were no longer being held back as I accepted that Uncle Toshi had been lying to me, to everyone he knew... for what?!

"I said wait! Do we really have to fight?!" Midoriya screamed, dodging Katsuki's attacks.

"Why...? Why...?!" I heard one final explosion before a silence overcame the arena. I peaked over the counter and saw Katsuki on the ground, he looked as if he wanted to cry.

Midoriya seemed to realize that he might be hurt and began jogging up to my hot headed boyfriend. "A-Are you okay?"

Katsuki hit away from his outstretched hand with a firm push. I could see anger growing on his face, "Don't worry about me! Fight! What the hell's wrong with you?! Why... why did I end up having to chase after the back of someone who was always behind me? Why did a small fry like you get strong?"

The words pierced my heart and I couldn't help but muffle a sob that retched from my chest.

"Why is that you became strong... but I... why was I... why was I the one who ended All Might?!"

Ended... All Might?

"If I'd been stronger and if I hadn't been kidnapped by villains, then that wouldn't have happened... All Might tried to keep it a secret... I couldn't tell anyone! Not even Lily! She wasn't there!"

Guilt flooded my systems, he couldn't tell me? Why? I could see that he was hurting yet I never asked why! Why?! If I had paid more attention he wouldn't feel like this, if I had paid more attention he wouldn't be hurting!

"Even if I try not to think about it... it just comes to mind unexpectedly! I don't know what to do!" I watch as tears fall from his eyes, and it took every fiber of my will not to go running to him. I can't. All he would do is yell at me, scream and close himself off.

Midoriya. Please. Help him. I beg of you. Please.

I hear the activation of Midoriyas and Katsuki's quirks, and like that they were back to fighting. I got out of my hiding spot and went around the fight, heading in the direction of the front gate.

A particularly loud explosion went off as I reached the gate, running into my skeleton of an Uncle Toshi.

"You," I growled as I made eye contact with him. "You lied to me! You lied to everyone!" I stepped away from him, and he put his hand up, effectively silencing me.

"What did you hear?"

"I heard everything! About you and your ability to transfer power! How Katsuki thinks it's his fault for making you retire, that I can't be a good enough girlfriend to be able to ask why he was acting so different! Everything!" With that, I broke down into tears for the third time that night.

"I-I... I need to tell Papa... he needs to know this..."

"Lily. You cannot do that." I was taken aback by my Uncles immediate stern voice, his blue eyes seemed to glow as he looked at me with a face of determination. "If you will come with me now I will explain everything."
