Have you ever wanted to have a super power? Those funny ones that you always read about in books. The ones that people would mock if you said you had? Well, now there is a chance. Everyone has a quirk or is considered quirkless. These powers can range from telekinesis, fire and ice control, super strength, etc. If you are consider one who has a quirk, you are then eligible (if you are young enough) to be placed into the U.A High School. A place for those like you to train to become heroes or sidekicks. Everyone aims to be a hero, even me. The name is Aiko Rin and this is my story.
Growing up, my mom was killed by one of the villains. It was named Ajin, the creature that could summon another form. When she was killed, I was sent to live alone with my dad. I felt bad for him. Raising a chaotic munchkin like me must not have been easy but I knew he loved it. He would always ruffle my hair when I was younger and carry me on his shoulders.
"Looks like I've got another sack of potatoes!" He would shriek. I giggled as he carried me by my legs, showing me the world from another point of view. He would then swing me around in circles. It made me feel like an angel. We would go and get ice cream on hot days, sitting in the sun until our skin threatened to burn. Ice cream dripped from the sides of the cone and onto my hand, which I then proceeded to lick off. I would always get green tea but dad got red bean. I could never understand why he got that. He claimed that it tasted like chocolate but whenever I ate it, it kept popping up in my mind as a vegetable. Bleh. These memories kept me same. But it never kept me from forgetting.
I guess you could say that the bad times out wished the good ones. There were some nights when dad came home drunk and started yelling. He started yelling and once he did, I knew it wouldn't start. I would run to my room, slam the door and lock it. Keeping myself safe from the dangers. He once shattered a plate. The shards sprayed everywhere, making the floor sharp. I felt one of the piece dig into my palm, blood dripping to the floor. No words came. I looked at my dad. His eyes were ablaze with rage, the vibrant blue now dark and cold. He stormed out of the house, leaving me there.
I never told anyone about this. I kept it hidden with me, taking it wherever I went, reminding me that things get better. But I guess things don't in that case because my dad left last year. He packed a bag and left in the middle of the night. The next morning, I awoke to a note on the kitchen counter.
Im sorry but I need to leave Aiko. You are a wonderful girl but I am a horrible person. And now that you are going to high school you can take care of yourself. Be brave. The house is payed off but I hope you will stay on campus. Ive already talked to the teachers about you. Your quirk is safe. Just remember to not freak out about it. Good luck at the entrance exam but you won't need it. I love you.

Throughout school, I kept to myself. I was a good kid. I kept good grades, was never late, and managed to become some of the teachers favorite students. Making friends was never my specialty though. Every time I tried, they would all stray away from me and back into their little friend groups. It wasn't always the worst though. I was able to focus on my school work while other got caught up in drama…
The one thing that I couldn't stand was when the other kids would call me a quirkless. Did I say I didn't have a quirk? No. I just wouldn't want to use it right now. The reason why was because I didn't even know what it was. One day its time manipulation, the next I can control the wind and water. Dad called me the manipulator because I could control whatever I pleased (a lie). I just never wanted to use it because I felt like it didn't belong with me. The one thing I know about my quirk is that I got the time aspect from my mom. The other heroes called her the Time Warper. She was one of the most famous ones before All Might came into the picture. She would always come in whenever there needed to be a building fixed. She would reverse time just far enough in that area so the building wouldn't be a pile of rubble.
Dad never told me his quirk. He said that it wasn't anything special and that he never told anyone about it. I started to think that he didn't have one. I could never understand why mom married him. Normally people with strong quirks marry others like them. That way, their kid would also have a strong quirk similar to theirs.
When I heard about there being a competition for the entrance exam for U.A. High School, I knew exactly what I would do. Following the tips on the note dad wrote a year ago, I would go to school and become one of the most successful heroes in history. But I wouldn't do it just for me. I would do it for mom and dad. I wanted them to be proud of something I did and now was the time. The day of the exam, I packed my bag early and said a short goodbye to the house. This would be one of the last times I would see it for awhile (hopefully). I closed the door one more time and left my childhood where it stood.
Time to save the world.
This is not a cross over. I needed a name for the villain and I used it. And I know that whenever I referred to mom or dad, they were in lower case. I liked it that way. This first chapter was re-written.
