"Nnnnnnnugh..." I groaned, moving my head around as I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurry until it gotten clearer the more I focused on one thing. I saw the white ceiling from my room…? I lifted my head up to see that someone was sitting next to my bed. "All…!" My voice cut me off. It was so sore that it couldn't even form a whole word without it cutting me off.

"It's okay. I'm right here." He grabbed my hand and rubbed it with his thumb.

"W-what happened?" I sorely asked, voice sounding very weak to the point that it sounded like a whisper.

"A guard walked by to see that something was going on in the room you visited, and he shot One For All with a sleeping dose and he saw you passed out on the floor with red marks around your throat. The guard took you to your room and called the house doctors to treat you. So right now your throat is just bruised up."

"Oh…"

There was an eerie silence lingering in the room. I swallowed my saliva, but when it slid down my throat, I felt the tightness it was giving me that made me not want to swallow or consume anything.

"Why…?" I asked, turning my head to look at his true, disheveled form. "Why do you come and visit me? Am I not a disgrace? I'm not even looked upon as a normal person, only a monster that kills." I couldn't understand him. I was a monster to everyone's eyes, but to his I wasn't.

"You always can change. You were trying to change yourself before weren't you? Why did you stop yourself from being what you wanted?" All Might's eyes were gentle as he stared down at me, still rubbing my hand to give me comfort.

"Because… I thought I could escape from what I'd destined to become." I frowned because that was always my excuse. I just wanted to escape because they don't know how hard it was, only Todoroki knows how it felt. Where is he now? How is he doing? When will he visit me? Am I too much a burden to see? "I wish… I wish… that Todoroki would come and visit me. That's my last wish before…. I end everything that I've built for myself."

The guards were walking and I make eye contact with them. "Take him. His visit is done." I motioned, ordering them as they quickly took All Might out from my cell. I was going to escape to fight off my father even if it means I die. Now that One For All is in jail, my father can do whatever he desires, even to kill the leader of League of Villains.

"Mizuki! What are you planning to do?!" All Might looked desperate to help me and to change me, but fate cannot be changed so easily. There must be sacrifice that I must make in order to get that change.

"Bye…"

Weeks later, I was called over to the visitor center, someone wanted to talk to me. I sat down waiting for my visitor to come. I hope it wasn't All Might. He visited me too often.

Beeeeeeep

I looked up to see… Midoriya, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu. "I see, you guys wanted to pay me a visit." But there was no Todoroki with them. He must be avoiding me that badly. "For why you guys are here?" I asked, leaning back in my chair as my hands were cuffed.

Midoriya spoke up, looking nervous. "Todoroki asked me to bring this letter to you because he couldn't do it by himself." Midoriya didn't dare to look into my eyes to give me the letter that Todoroki must've wrote to me, but why couldn't he just say it to my face?

"Where is he?" I asked, but I didn't a response.

"He hasn't been at school." Uraraka informed me, rubbing her hands together from this drift between us.

"What happened to your neck?" Midoriya inquired, but I wasn't going to answer his question.

"I'm not going to read it if he couldn't tell me this in my face." I changed the topic and ripped up the envelope in my hands before sprinkling down on the white table that bordered us.

"M-Mizuki…! Please!" Yaoyorozu shouted, staring at me in shocked that I ripped up the letter so easily and coldly.

"It's pathetic of him to not give it to me, or even say it in my face. Why would I want to read this now?!" I told All Might to bring Todoroki but he never came with, I prayed that he would visit but never did. So I'm taking this as a sign that Todoroki doesn't want to see me, and I'm totally fine with that now. I don't need to worry about him because I'm stuck in here for life….

"Take me back." I looked back at the guards and they nodded their head before taking me back into my room. "Talking end!"

"Mizuki! Wait! You can't do this to yourself!" Midoriya shouted. "Stop isolating yourself! You're not going to get anywhere!"

"Midoriya…." Uraraka laid a hand on his shoulders and he calmed down, keeping his eyes locked on my walking figure.

"Todoroki needs you….!" He shouted his rage at the top of his lungs.

I stopped in my tracks to say, "I've realized that I'm just weighing him down. He can do better than me. He has a long life ahead of him, a brighter future than mine. Whenever you find him, tell him that." I wished I haven't impacted their lives so badly, or else they wouldn't be here standing in this jail place to talk to me.

But I guess I didn't know this would be the turning point of my life when I had to hear this from an unexpected visitor that demanded me. I was quickly dragged out of my room and by the guards because it was urgent they said. It was a rough hold they had on me.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" It was the familiar voice of Endeavor. "SHE'S THE ONE THAT CAUSED THIS!" He yelling was giving me headache.

"I'm here!" I announced, already feeling annoyed by his angered aura.

"WHERE IS SHOUTO?!" In spite of anger, he punched through the glass protector with his fiery fist.

"How should I know?" I calmly controlled any of my anger to rise. "I don't know what you are talking about and I have nothing to do with this either."

"Endeavor, calm yourself down. It's not good to do it here!" A police officer scolded at him.

Endeavor grumbled and stomped off, and the guards took me to a private room that both of us could be in. Still I was locked in chains that I could barely do anything. "What is that you want from me?" I quietly asked from my sore voice. My throat was still badly bruised with black and purple, but the color tamed down a bit.

"Where did Shouto go? He never attended school or came back home." He bit on tongue from lashing his demons out at me.

I closed my eyes and sharply breathed in from his words that got to my head. "I don't know." I breathed out, locking eyes with him. "He has never visited me… But…!" My mind remembered the letter that Midoriya gave me, but I ripped it up and never picked it up. "He wrote me a letter that I ripped apart, but never opened it." I downley said, feeling stupid for not opening it.

Slaaaaamm! Endeavor's face was breathing near me and his hands were slammed cleanly against the steel table. "How—"

"I can't help you." I sharpened my eyes at him. "I was not involved with his doings!" I retorted as my voice shook, "and you can't blame me for him not appearing in public eye…" I curled my fingers in my palms until my knuckles turned white. I can't believe that his dad would think that I had to do something with Todoroki. I've been locked up for a while and now he suspected that Todoroki came to visit me?

Endeavor sighed and got up from his seat. "Well, I guess I have no choice but to take you to your father. Immortal King must've locked up Shouto so he could fight me." Endeavor looks dissatisfied that he had to use me and Plan B.

Though I was shocked, I had to keep my cool. "I won't be much help really. I'm quirkless." I simply said, but he wasn't fazed by my words.

He scoffed of my excuse. "You really think I care if you're quirkless or not?" He folded his arms and grabbed onto the chains. "Because I don't. You're just getting Shouto from Immortal King then you're coming back to this place. I'm not a heartless person, Akagawa. I do love Shouto, but I don't show it. It's called tough love." Then he melted the iron into liquid as if dripped onto the ground. "We move out tomorrow morning. Be ready."

When he left, I stood there to figure out what just happened. Endeavor trusts me? He trusts me to go with him…? He wants me to get Todoroki back? "Wow…" I whispered out, staring down at the melted iron on the floor. "Wow. That escalated quickly." Our relationship wasn't a good one to begin with anyways. I should feel happy that he trusts me, but it's just a little trust though… but who cares?! I can finally get out and have an opportunity to fight my father. I don't care if I don't have powers. If I can sway my father's heart, then I think I'll be able to get to him.
