Chapter 3 -Y/n-

"Oi, she's waking up." I hear a faint voice in the distance, then an unknown putrid smell pricks my nose. "If you're gonna wake up, hurry it up."

Geez, how encouraging.

Well, through the 'encouragements', I just manage to open one of my eyes, before the other one follows. "Where am I?"

"The League of Villain's base sweetheart, welcome." A bluish haired man? Boy? greets me.

"The air around her is pure." I know that guy-

"Overhaul?"

"She knows you, but not me?" The blue hair pouts.

"Y/n, nice to see you again. This is quite the reunion, as the last time we saw each other was when you were just 14."

"I thought you didn't like quirks and 'impurities', yet look at you working with these 'villains' throwing temper tantrums just cause the world was not nice to them." I just can't fucking stand the sight of this hypocrite, back when I met him, he was so ambitious.

The him back then would never stoop this low to get what he wants, but then again I'm doing the very thing I'm criticizing.

"Well look who's talking newbie." I swear to god I am gonna punch-

I can't move my arms, nor my legs.

"Why am I tied up to a fucking lab chair, is that a needle in my arm?!" Fuck no, I hate needles.

"Now, now, calm down. The restraints are what'll hold you down in case you go feral, and the IV will shoot you with morphine, to help you cope with the pain."

"I thought my quirk is supposed to awaken, not kill me."

"Your quirk is powerful, and due to the limited data on your quirk, we have to be prepared for anything." Then Overhaul turns on a TV, the news of the villain's building attack.

Casualties 25, missing 1. I'm pretty sure I'm the 'missing'.

"Here comes the best part!"

The camera zooms in on Hawks, picking up what looks like a necklace; my feather necklace. He looks so scared, so hurt, he looks like he's lost everything...

"Keigo..." I say in my heart, hoping he'd somehow felt it. But the Keigo on the screen drops to his hands and knees. One hand's keeping him up from the ground, the other tightly gripping at his heart, with my necklace in hand. "Turn it off. NOW."

"Getting angry are we?" The blue hair taunts, "can't stand the sight of that bird breaking down cuz' he thinks you're dead? Wait till he hears that you've joined the LoV!"

"Shut up!"

I can hear every breath, every molecule, every atom moving in this room, the high frequency buzz in my ear drums. I can hear every heartbeat, something's happening.

"Her quirk's comin'." I faintly hear, as the buzz gets louder, a warm trickle of liquid which I'm sure is blood, dripping down from my ears.

My whole body feels like it's on fire, no like it's landed in the sun. It burns, it hurts, it fucking hurts.

"AGHHHHH!" I can barely hear anything over the loud buzz, barely feel the endless amount of morphine shot up into my veins as it barely has an effect on the pain.

'I love you kid, I didn't mean any of the shit I said, please...come back...I'm sorry! Y/N!!'

Keigo...I'm sorry...

Our memories fade, and so does my consciousness.

'Wake up.'

Huh?

'Finally, took you long enough.'

Who-?

'I'm a part of your quirk, I'm you.'

"Gasp-" I jolted awake, wires, needle, tubes all connecting to me. The nasogastric tube is what I pull out first, before I pull everything out.

"Here I was thinking you would never wake up!" Dabi says, in his well too known sarcasm. "So? How does it feel to wake up after three weeks?"

"How's K-" Who was I gonna ask about? K? Ke? Taka? I don't remember anyone with a name that starts with a K-

"Hmm? What was that?" A glint of hostility ran past his eyes, warning me to not push this topic.

"N-Nothing." I say, but I feel like something's missing, something very dear to me, someone very dear to me.

"Since people may recognize you, we're gonna have Toga change your appearance." I can barely focus on what he's saying, why are there so many blank spots in my memory?

"Enough with the nonsense, we need to get Y/n training."
