Stop it please…

Tap tap tap tap

That's going to drive me crazy…

Tap tap tap tap tap-

The tapping of the guard's foot outside the rubber covered room abruptly stopped and the sole occupant of said room slowly lifted her head. She could hear low murmurs outside and she dropped her head back to look at the gray rubberized floor beneath her. She stared into the thick carbon fiber cuffs around her wrists.

'Like they're necessary,' she thought to herself, 'It's not like they have me trapped in a rubber suit or anything.'

She flexed her fingers, her body naturally producing electricity but feeling immediate itchiness and pain as the rubber covering her body prevented any of it from escaping. Almost like routine she heard the electricity regulator clasped around her waist whirr to life and absorb all the electricity trapped between her skin and the rubber she was being forced to wear. The sensation was less than comfortable, all the electricity her body produced simultaneously being scraped along her already sensitive skin to the heavy carbon fiber and plastic contraption rooted to her back.

The low light in the room was suddenly flooded with the fluorescent light from the hallway, the small girl crouched on the floor closed her eyes quickly. It was unusual for the door to her solitary confinement ever open. Usually food is shoved through a retractable hatch built into the door, her bathroom was built into her room, much like a prison cell. The people in charge at the Juvenile center made sure she got the least amount of human contact as possible, scum like her didn't need human contact was their primary belief. The girl didn't bother to lift her head since she was expecting a scolding for existing, how dare she.

Soon her vision was invaded by two small beige… shoes? Definitely too small for an adult human foot. Her eyebrows creased and she slowly lifted her head, not that it had to lift that far, before her steel gray eyes met the face of a smiling... Rat? Mouse? Thing…

"Kamida Azumi yes? I am Principal Nezu of U.A. High School. These two behind me are Shouta Aizawa and All Might. We're here to take a chance on you!"
