Quick disclaimer: English is not my native language, I'm sorry in advance for any grammar mistake in the story, do let me know so I can fix it.

Quirks can be so unique, don't you agree? We have so many of them, and the variety is always growing with each generation. With all of this into account, you would think people wouldn't judge someone by their quirk, no prejudices. Sadly, that is not the case, it still happens, to many of us, and the outcome for discrimination usually ends badly. Such is the society we live in, interesting isn't it?

I went through that too, it was hell, sort of, but unlike many I got a happy ending. Let me tell you all about it.

Now, where should I start? Perhaps when my family gave me up for adoption, that's a good place to start.

You see, my quirk was problematic, and while I don't blame my family for giving me up for adoption, I used to hold a grudge against them, for not trying harder.

Aside from the cliché stories out there, I didn't appear one rainy night in front of the orphanage, my parents did it legally, and made it so that I could never find them, I guess they wanted to live without much regrets, that's alright I suppose.

Is hard to recall my first days here, I was 4 years old after all, but I do remember some things. I remember sharing a room with other kids, I remember the curious faces they had when they first saw me, I remember the look of pity the nurses gave me the first days. But those looks of pity will soon change to looks of fear and anger.

At the beginning no one gave much thought to quirk, they were probably thinking that my parents were exaggerating, but it wasn't like that.

Before I go on with the story you need to know how my quirk works, at least the basics, so you have a better understanding of the story.

I have an Emitter-type quirk, that only enhances my body physically, but there is twist to it. I need fuel to make it work, and what it my fuel? Negative emotions. I can use my emotions as well as others, anger, fear and hatred are the most common ones but there are still more. You may think I'm overacting perhaps, that there is no reason for my parents to put me up for adoption only for this quirk. Wrong.

I absorb those emotions and use to them to strength my body. The trick is that doing so clouds my thoughts and judgement, and those feeling somehow overtake my body, turning me into a little machine of rage. I absorbed negative emotions from the people around me, without really trying and released my power without trying as well. Basically, my quirk made me impossible to control, hence the whole adaptation process.

The caretakers from the orphanage learned this the hard way and the same could be said for the other kids, the same thing that happened with my parents, happened there. In the beginning they thought they could control me, but that wasn't the case. I wasn't till I harmed of the other kids that they decided it was enough and gave me a room of my own. A room they quickly prepared for me, it was used for storage, the paint from the walls had already died and instead had a boring gray. That wasn't the only thing that changed, they also separated me from all the normal activities the orphanage had so that I would avoid harming anyone ever again.

With that being said, the Head housemother didn't want to give up on me, she tried to contact experts in dangerous quirks, so they could examine me and find a way for me to have a more normal live I the orphanage. The tests they ran on me were not harmful at all, just normal tests you would find in any hospital. Aside from that they saw footage of me during one of my "episodes" (that's how the employees of the orphanage called it) and with all of that they came to a conclusion.

My quirk was powered by emotions, but not any emotion, negative emotion. They mentioned that there no known inventions that could that quirk in order, there were prototypes out there that could do the trick, but they might be dangerous for me so decided it wasn't worth it to try those. They said isolating me was the best thing they could do for the meantime, that an also avoid showing negative emotions in front of me or close to me.

So, nothing changed, the only thing that did, was the way employees treated me, now they were not only afraid, but also avoided me even more. I could see the reaction of the other kids about it, maybe the older ones cared but the ones my age probably didn't even understand the situation, not that it mattered anyway since I don't play or hang around with them anymore.

I remember spending so much time by myself in that room, the few toys I had were my only company. Even in special events the orphanage held to increase adoptions, I was rarely visited, couples were advised of me before visiting me, and that probably scared them away.

Maybe it was hard for me to describe it back then, but the feeling of loneliness I had for being isolated all the time was awful. I know they were doing it for the good of the other kids and to an extent, mine as well but still, I wish they would've known how I felt, maybe they did, but didn't care anyway or couldn't do anything about it. I was a hard position to be into. I could see the other kids in the playground while I was inside, watching from the window. I had my time in the playground too, but I had to be alone, no one was allowed to be closed to me specially kids me age. Playtime wasn't the only time that ruled was applied, every single activity that I had to do was like that.

By the time I reached 6 I became more self-aware of my quirk, I had yet to fully understand it, even after the explanation the doctors gave me (they still came by to visit me every now and then). It was hard to control, I was able to feel all these… "black things" (that's how I used to call them) around me. I could feel them through the walls and doors and could call to them, and they obeyed. Those "black things" were the negative emotions people had, whether little or small, I could sense them. I started to test my quirk and learned how dangerous they were. Calling them clouded my mind and made me loose control. "Is this why everyone is afraid of me?" I thought. "Maybe if I can control it, I'll be normal, like everyone else. I'll have friends, sooo many friends, and I'll leave this horrible room." But it wasn't that easy.

For a brief moment my days brighten up a little, I thought that hard work was the only thing I needed to get full control of my quirk and with that acceptance and it was actually true. The thing is, as I said before, it wasn't easy. Accepting the negative emotions from others and yourself and keep it under control can be really challenging, especially for a 6-year-old boy.

Nevertheless, I kept trying and trying, I absorbed the negative emotions and kept them within me, I discovered that it affected me in more than one way. I could loose control and probably go berserk that was the most common one, I could go blind for a couple of minutes or in some cases completely pass out.

"Why is this so complicated" I thought, while laid in my bed. "This is so unfair, why can't I control it properly, why do others get to have better quirks than mine?"

"I-It- It is NOT FAIR!" I screamed, I had to let out some steam, my lack of answers was consuming me from the inside.

So many complicated questions at such an age, it wasn't healthy. It was only a matter of time before I snapped.

My days of training went on but every day I was less motivated, I wasn't starting to question if it was really worth it. Was having friends worth it, was being normal worth it? Why am I trying for them did they ever tried for me? They don't deserve anything from me. I can live alone forever, it doesn't really matter.

Yes… You don't need them, and they don't need you.

I heard a voice, in was a clam voice, it was like a woman's voice, slightly deep, very calm an smooth.

"Who… was that?" I ask out loud, "What is going on?"

Useless, everyone is useless, we are better, we were always better.

This time it was a man, he had an aggressive tone and deeper voice.

I was starting to panic, this voice I could listen to them, yet there was no one around and I could perfectly listen to them. Something was off.

"Useless? Better?" I didn't understand at all.

We were never meant to be, yet here we are, isn't that beautiful?

Another female voice, this one had a playful tone to it, and it was more childlike

At this point I was completely scared and was very close to ask for help to any caretaker that was neaby but I didn't, I decided to listen to this voices.

"Whe-where… are you? Reveal yourself!" I yelled.

We are inside

To your right, or maybe left, but we are here.

We are you, you are us.

Search for me, I'm close hahaha

Even more voices joined to the conversation, I couldn't tell them apart anymore, all of them where talking at the same time. I couldn't even hear my own thought, I had to speak out loud our else I would be lost in the ocean of nonsense the voices were saying.

I jumped to my bed and begged for them to shut up but they wouldn't, the nonsense wouldn't stop. I started crying and panicking, I felt so helpless. Both hands were on my head and was swinging my body back and front while trying to remain sane, it was an awful night.

Seeing no other choice, I decided to let go, I stopped trying to keep myself together and drowned in the ocean of voices inside me head. Maybe trying to understand what they meant was the right thing to do.

Accept us, accept yourself

We are the only way out

Will you do it, will you jump?

They kept referring to themselves and me as "we", they wanted us to be one, that's the message I am getting at least, I'm not sure if it was the correct one.

Never alone again, you will never be alone

Don't you want it? You want it? I want it

Give it to us, NOW!

"Never alone again? That sounds nice" my voice as trembling at this point, not sure how if my common sense was working but it was true that I didn't want to be alone anymore, the few moments I get with the caretakers were not enough. They barely had any interaction with me after all.

By your side, always.

Always

Yes, always.

For a second there, the voices didn't sound terrifying or annoying anymore, they seemed to really care about me. I felt reassured.

"Take it then, take every single part of me" I said closing me eyes. And right after saying that, like it was magic, the voices went silent completely, and with that I automatically fell asleep.

I had a dream that night, it was a strange one. I was in an open field, but there was no sun, only grey clouds in the sky, they day looked sad. It is going to rain I thought, I need to find shelter. I started walking without any specific direction in mind till I found a small on top of a hill. I was a small wooden two-story house. I walk in without the knocking the door, it seemed abandoned anyway, so I didn't expect to find anyone there and I was right. The place was abandoned, filled with dust and spiderwebs in the corners of the rooms. As soon as I got in, it started raining, I barely made in on time. I decided to explore the house, since I had nothing better to do. All I found were old furniture ready to fall apart and old books I didn't understand. I made my way to the second floor and found a room with a bed, I decide to sit on it and wait for the rain to pass, but the rain turned into a heavy storm.

I was all alone in there, no one else talk to, only my thoughts and nothing else. I started to tear a little, probably the fact that I was alone in the middle of nowhere was the reason. But as soon as I let a tear out, I heard a sound in front of me. I was looking at the floor so I had no idea there was someone in front of me. When did he got in anyway? I looked up expecting to see another person, but it was not a person.

A shadowy figure was standing in front of me, it had a humanoid form, I could see his limbs and his head, yet he had no face, only two glowing grey almost white lights that seemed to be eyes. It was tall, had the size of a grown adult. Even after seeing that thing in front of me without any warning at all, I wasn't afraid. For some reason I felt warm and safe.

While was still sitting in the bed speechless the shadowy figure rested one his hands in my shoulder looking me straight in the eye. I touched his hand to get a better feel of it, and it felt exactly like any other human hand, nothing odd to it. After doing that I caught a glimpse of another shadow behind him this one was smaller but had the same features as the one in front of me and for some reason this one seemed kind of shy. The new figure rested of its hands on me too. Before I could realize it another shadow appeared and then another one and another one, the small room I was in got full of them. They were all looking to me.

They were trying to tell me something, but what is it? I feel like I know it already, it is nothing I should worry about, no, it is something I should be happy about. I felt like it was on the tip of my tongue, then I hear them.

We are here.

Now we are one

Together, never alone.

With is, forever,

Yes, now I remember. I will never be or feel anymore. You are all with me.

And I am with you, forever.

So here it is, my first chapter of this bnha fanfic, it is a little short because it's only a part of the prologue and I want to test the waters and see how it goes. Now there is a couple things you should know, first, this is not my first bnha fanfic, I have yet to finish that one, but I needed to get this story out, I feel it has lot of potential. Second, I know this chapter is kinda "dark" and while the sotry is going to have that element, it's not going to be the main one, I am not good at writing that type of stories, I'm doing it now because it serves the plot.

I did mention at the beginning that English is not my native language so if you see a grammar mistake please do let me know I'll fix it.

I'll try to post a chapter every week, maybe fridays or saturdays, have yet to decide.

Anyway, I also want to thank for reading all the way to the end of my fic, I know it's not perfect but I'll improve with time.

I appreciate any reviews, favs and follows they an awesome job motivating me to write even more.

See you guys in the next chapter!
