We all silently walked to the car. I held Katsuki's hand tightly and kept my eyes on the ground.

You'll never be a hero.

You're nothing!

You're weak. Pitiful!

You'll never be a hero!

"____," Katsuki said.

"Hm?" I said, not looking up at him.

"What happened in there?"

"We just... talked," I mumbled.

"About?" Katsuki asked.

"Did he say anything about All for One?"

"He joined the boss for power. All for one saw potential in me and wanted to give me some type of power and he wanted me to be by his side, similar to how Shiguarki is, I guess. My mother didn't like that he favored me, and my dad has no idea what power this is. I dont remember him ever mentioning any power either."

"That can't be what upset you," Katsuki said.

I didn't respond after that. We all got into the car. I laid my head on Katsuki's shoulder and shared down at my lap.

"It'll be a long drive since you want to go back to where you live," Endeavor said.

"Okay," I mumbled.

Katsuki wrapped his arm around me. I folded my hands in my lap and kept my head down. My father's words echoed in my head. Tears filled my eyes and threatened to fall.

"Okay, tell me what the hell happened in there."

"Huh?" I looked up at Katsuki.

He stared at me for a moment. "Dont cry," He mumbled. "C'mon. Tell me what happened."

"W-We just talked," I stuttered out, My voice cracked as my tears got heavy, and threatened to fall.

"What did he say?" All Might said. I looked over. All Might look back at me, concern evident on his face, Endeavor looked at me through the rearview mirror for a moment, before looking at the road again.

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing if it's making you cry."

"I-" I burst into tears, "I'm nothing!"

"What?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

I sniffed. "H-he said-" I paused. "I know- Deep down I know I'm weak, and I can't protect the ones I care about. He said I'm nothing, and he's right," I said before sobbing into my hands.

"No matter where I go chaos will always follow me. I can't escape this fucking curse. I dont deserve the life I have or the love that you guys show me. He said I can't be a hero, and that I'll die hated and alone like him, and he's right." I paused. "I'm nothing," I choked out before slouching forward, holding my head in my hands.

"___."

"Dont!" I paused. "Dont say what I know you're gonna say. I know it's true, Katsuki! I dont deserve the love you, or anyone else shows me. I can't escape the chaos, and I bring it around everyone I care about.

I couldn't even save you when you were right in front of me. When I did try to save you, I got hurt, my mom was killed, All Might lost his power, and because of all that- all because of me- you were hurt. How can I be a good hero if I can't do anything right?! How can I call myself the symbol of hope if I bring nothing but chaos?!" I exclaimed while gripping into my shirt where my heart is. "It hurts knowing that no matter how hard I try, I can't escape the chaos."
