After we got done with the tests, Mr. Aizawa dismissed us from class, and I was walking alone until Kirishima ran up to me.
"Hey man! That was incredible! You threw that ball like it was nothing! My name's Eijiro Kirishima, by the way!" He introduced himself.
"Thanks, my name is Alyx! Nice to meet you!" I smiled.
"Say, what exactly is your Quirk?" Kirishima asked.
"Oh, it's called Overdrive. I can enhance my strength and speed with it. I used to be able to go into more advanced things but..." I stopped.
Should I tell him? Nobody knows besides my parents and Annie. I don't even know if I should tell Kirishima, we just met, after all.
"But what? Did you get it taken away or something?" He wondered.
"Well, not quite," I said, "I lost my memory entirely... I only remember waking up a few weeks ago to fly over to here, that's it."
He could tell I wasn't kidding, he looked concerned.
"Oh man, that's not good. But hey, I'm sure you'll be able to remember how to use your Quirk! You blew those tests out of the water, surely something like this won't be difficult for you." He reassured.
Wow, he honestly is a pretty amazing person. He's almost as charismatic as All Might!
"Thanks, Kirishima. I needed to hear that." I smiled.
"No problem, bro!" We parted ways as I headed home.
A few minutes later, I ran into that Yaoyorozu girl. She looked extremely familiar, I just had to talk to her! Maybe she was who I was thinking, I just wanted to make sure.
"Hey, Yaoyorozu! Wait up!" I yelled.
She stopped and looked back.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you something." I continued.
"O-Oh...What is it?" She replied.
"You look really familiar. Like, I feel like I know you or I've seen you somewhere." I told her.
She laughed, I was kind of confused, what was so funny?
"Alyx, you don't remember? You saved my life from that giant!" She responded.
Wait, that was her?! She looks totally different! Maybe it's because her hair was down when I first saw her?
"Oh yeah, I guess I forgot! You look totally different, I guess I didn't notice since you have your hair like that!" We both laughed as we walked together.
"You live down this street as well? How come I've never seen you?" Momo asked.
"Oh, well, I just moved here from America! I've been here for about a month now. Also, I normally take this route on my way home from a shop nearby. Do you live in one of those huge houses over that way?" I told her.
She nodded her head, "Yes I do! For an American, your Japanese is pretty good, I'm impressed. Normally, most people who come here aren't too keen with the language."
"Well... I guess it's one of the things that stuck with me." I shifted my bag a bit.
"What do you mean? Did something happen?" Momo questioned.
I looked down at the ground, feeling a bit flustered, "W-Well... I... I guess I lost my memory... I'm not sure how though."
She stopped walking, and grabbed my arm. I turned around and faced her, she gave me a look of worry and concern. Our eyes met and that jittery feeling started up in my chest. She let go of my arm and started blushing.
"I-I'm sorry... I don't know what-" She stuttered.
"I-It's okay. I guess I was rattling off a bit." I reassured.
"Well... See you tomorrow, Alyx!" Momo nodded.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow!" I replied.
We went different ways. Oh man, that was kind of awkward. I wasn't paying attention since I was too deep in thought, and I ran into someone.
"S-Sorry! I guess I need to start looking more instead of thinking-" I stopped as I got a quick glance of his face, was that... Kariya?
The man quickly turned around, "It's fine. Just please be more careful."
As he walked away, I could've sworn that man looked exactly like Kariya! I kept walking home; I still couldn't get that image out of my head. When I got home, I noticed a note on the refrigerator.
It read, "Your father and I will be out for a while. Annie's already made dinner for you. We won't be home until around 10 and Annie won't be home until 8. We love you! Stay safe! -Mom."
I put the note down and opened the fridge. I pulled the obviously bought sushi out of the fridge.
"Yeah, nice cooking, sis." I mumbled sarcastically.
I laid down on my couch and started to eat, then I heard a tap on a window from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and there was a package out on our patio. I noticed that it was addressed to me.
"Huh? I don't remember ordering anything." I muttered as I opened up the package.
There was just a note on the inside that said, "I know."
"What in the hell?" I mumbled.
Then, I felt a presence behind me, I quickly turned around but nobody was there. I walked back inside and quickly shut & locked the patio door. I activated my Quirk, and sat there in silence. I heard a thud coming from downstairs, I jumped over the railing and into the living room.
"Alright, who's-" I stopped, there wasn't anyone there.
Was I just being paranoid? Wait, didn't Kirishima give me his number today? I pulled out my phone and thankfully I was right!
"Yo! What's up?" Kirishima answered.
"Hey, listen. I think someone's in my house." I whispered.
"What? Can't you use your Quirk to rough 'em up? I saw what you did today! There's no way anyone could beat you up, man!" Kirishima confidently said.
That was the thing, I wasn't too sure how powerful it was. Annie told me that this Mode was a beginner stage, so what good would it be against some villain?
"Well, yeah... But I'm not sure about it. Could you just-" Right before I could say anything else, someone pounced on my back!
I grabbed their shoulders and threw them away from me.
"Alright, asshole! Let's dance!" I shouted.
I heard Kirishima say my name, but I dropped my phone, so I couldn't exactly tell him what was going on. I ran towards the masked assailant, reeling back my fist. She sent me flying out of my living room window and outside into my front yard. I rolled on the ground and rebounded as she tried to stab me with a knife! I kicked the knife out of her hands, I jumped back from her, trying to reevaluate the situation. She's quick on her feet, that's for sure, she's definitely done this before. Her eyes were a bright yellow, they looked familiar! Now that I'm sizing her up, she looked an awful lot like Himiko!
"I know that's you, Himiko! What in the hell are you doing?" I called out to her.
She didn't respond to me at all. It was almost as if she was a completely different person. She took off her mask, and I was right! Himiko was smiling a sinister grin, it wasn't like the person I met almost a month ago!
"I just reeeeaaallly want some of that blood, you're so cute!" She exclaimed giddily.
Holy shit, Himiko's nuts! Who in the hell was this girl exactly?!
"You're fucking crazy if you think you're taking my blood!" I yelled to her.
"Hey! What's going on?" I heard Kirishima yell.
I turned back and saw him running down the street, how'd he know where I live?!
"K-Kirishima!" I excitedly shouted.
"Shit..." I heard Himiko mutter.
Kirishima stood next to me and activated his Quirk.
"So, what now? You still wanna try and take my blood?" I smirked.
She looked frustrated and she threw her knife at me! I dodged it and Kirishima charged after her. Himiko jumped over Kirishima and ran down the street.
"Hey! Come back here!" Kirishima yelled out.
"Let her go, I don't think she'll be back anytime soon." I told him.
"Are you alright? I came as quick as I could." Kirishima responded.
"Yeah, I'm alright. How'd you know where I lived?" I asked.
"Oh, I think when you dropped your phone, you might've sent me your location! Plus, we live on the same street, so it didn't take me long to find you." He noted.
I thanked Kirishima for helping me and he went home. I went back inside and cleaned up what I could. I'm not sure if I could repair the window in time with my Quirk, Annie still hasn't taught me how to do that healing technique. Apparently, it can also reconstruct destroyed surfaces? I crashed on the couch downstairs and watched T.V. I decided to call my parents to tell them what happened.
"Hey, mom!" I greeted.
"Oh, hello dear! Do you need something?" She questioned.
"Yeah... The living room window is kind of broken..." I nervously said.
"What?! What happened?" She shouted.
"I'll tell you when you guys get home. And it wasn't me, I promise!" I reassured my mother.
After a while, I heard a knock on the front door. I opened it up and it was Annie!
"Holy shit! What happened?" She exclaimed.
I didn't even realize that I had small cuts on my arms and face.
"Well... Someone got into the house and I kind of fought them off." I told her.
Annie used that healing technique on me to heal those small cuts. Then, I showed her the window in the living room and she reconstructed it. It looked as good as new!
"Did you get a good look at who it was?" Annie asked me.
"Yeah, she's got blonde hair and yellow or gold eyes. Her name's "Himiko" and I'm not sure what her last name is." I told Annie everything I knew about Himiko.
She nodded her head, "Alright, I'll keep that in mind. If I find her during my patrols, I'll give her a piece of my mind."
