Sunday had finally rolled by and Souseiki laid in bed scrolling through her phone. It had been three days since she had the encounter with the significantly unknown villain. She had made it her mission to look him up and see if he ever made the news, but nothing came up. He had no social media account and seemed to not exist in any school roster she looked up online. He had to be enrolled in a school since he was around her age, right? All fifteen-year-olds are in their second year at least, but he was nowhere to be found. "This is pissing me off," she muttered to herself as she dropped her phone onto her pillow and kicked off her covers.
She made her way to the restroom in order to start her day. Once refreshed she changed into a mere white blouse with a floral pattern and denim shorts. Souseiki walked out to the living room where she found her mother. "Good morning, you," her mother chirped as she looked away from the television screen. Her mom's hair was up in a bun and her hands were tightly wrapped around a mug that had steam rising from it.
"Good morning," replied Souseiki as she walked to the front door to put her shoes on. "I'm going to get the paper," she said walking out.
The weather was clear and sunny as she stepped out of her home. She smiled and stretched her arms out. It felt peaceful until she heard children bickering. "Move it, quirk-less!" Sounded a voice. The girl's face soon turned sour as she looked out beyond her fence to see her neighbor, Bakugou, harassing one of his friends once again. Since she could remember he had always been on Midoriya's case after he found out he didn't have a quirk.
"Ka-chan, I didn't-" trembled the green-haired boy's voice.
Before Midoriya could finish a sentence the rabid boy, that is Bakugou, lifted his hand and screamed, "Die!" But nothing happened. Seeing this outcome, Bakugou's head snapped in the direction of the Yabe residence. There, at the fence, stood Souseiki waving at the two with the day's newspaper in hand. "Get out of here, you useless trash! Can't you see I'm dealing with something?"
The girl gave a smirk as she stared at the two, "Good morning to you too," her attention then shifted to Midoriya as he slowly backed up towards her. "Morning, Midoriya," she greeted, "What's going on today?"
The stuttering mess of a boy replied with, "I accidentally bumped into him. It was an accident."
With a nod she looked back to Bakugou, "It was an accident, ya hear? Stop being an ass," she remarked as the blonde began throwing profanities left and right at the two.
"I wouldn't act so tough when you have such a lame quirk!" He said loudly.
Souseiki laughed as she looked at her heated neighbor and inquired, "What about you? Right now you don't have one at all!" With that being said the boy went on an entire tangent about how he was better than the two, but he was ignored. A large lightbulb went off as she turned to Midoriya. "Hey, you like studying quirks, right?" She smiled remembering he always carried a book with Pro Heroes' quirks and their techniques.
"Yeah, I do," he beamed smiling at her.
"This is going to sound odd, but have you heard of any pros fighting someone with a quirk that decays?"
Midoriya stood there with a pensive look on his face. "Not that I know of," he said shaking his head, "Why?"
Souseiki shrugged, "Just thought I saw someone with a quirk like that, but maybe I was just seeing things," she lied. "I'll see you two around. Bye, nerd!" She said waving to the blonde as she made her way back into the house. Her eyes scanned the paper for more news on her new friend, but once again there was nothing but talk of the explosions she had been caught up in. They had been caused by a villain with a quirk that allowed him to project bombs and he had used this in order to flee a robbery attempt. Souseiki sucked her teeth at the lack of information and tossed the paper beside her mom.
"Why so fussy?" Questioned Mrs. Yabe as she looked back at her daughter. "You should go out and train. At least learn how to fight properly," She said nonchalantly. "Your brothers are already in internships. The least you could do is train and try to get into a good profession."
Such unsolicited remarks made the teen's blood boil. Souseiki eyed her mother with her lips pulled down in a frown. "Sure," she muttered. The young brunette knew it was useless to bicker with someone so unmoving. "I'm going out then," with that response she trudged back out the door.
The day was peaceful so far, but all she did was walk aimlessly. The training wasn't in her plans at all. Souseiki had a pretty good idea that she wouldn't become a hero from the second she took the entrance exam to enter the UA hero course. She failed and here she was now as a normal student at a normal school. What would have been the point in putting in extra work? No hero agency would bother taking in someone who wasn't groomed by UA. Besides, an erasing quirk? It was like having no quirk in her opinion.
Just thinking about it riled her up. From having such a simple quirk to being forced to try and enter some prestigious hero academy. It was irritating. "Assholes," she muttered cursing her parents. They tried hard to get the girl to become an honorable hero, but it just wasn't meant to be.
During her aimless walk, Souseiki managed to arrive at the mall courtyard. Her brown eyes scanned the stores' window displays before stopping at a particular shop. She walked closer and eyed a table full of cute home decoration. A small, pale pink elephant caught her eye. With delicate hands, she picked it up and awed at its beauty in the sunlight. This would make a beautiful addition to her desk. Maybe it would have if a bast hadn't hit her.
Without warning, she flew back as an incredible force racked her entire body. The momentum of the attack had her rolling until she clashed with patio furniture in the courtyard. "Told you it would work!" Cackled a masculine voice from afar.
Souseiki whimpered in her spot on the ground. Her sore arms tried to push herself up, but with each effort, she slipped to the ground. "Fuck," she whimpered as tears threatened to spill. Pain surged through her limbs as she looked up to see a man alongside a girl staring straight at her. The girl's lips were curled back in a wicked smile as she stomped a foot on the pavement.
Another strong, invisible force of energy attacked the brunette and sent her flying once again. The two began walking closer towards her as the civilians that were close by screamed for a hero. "You're the hero Flux's daughter, aren'tcha?!" Spat the man with the deepest hatred.
Hearing the hero name, Souseiki shook, but couldn't reply. Her head was bowed to the pavement as tears fell. Every inch of her body burned from the impact. She turned her head and through the curtain of hair, she eyed the two. That was her father they named.
Closer. She needed them to come closer. Why weren't these idiots coming closer? Where were the heroes?
"You know what Flux did?" Questioned the lilac-haired girl with psionic blasts. "He's a hero, he's supposed to save people-" Souseiki groaned, but this time it was out of annoyance rather than pain. This woman's words seemed endless as she described the job heroes were supposed to perform. "Flux killed my.."
"I don't care," muttered Souseiki quietly.
The female stopped her monologuing. The two stared at her with glares that could kill. Their brows knitted and their lips pulled down into a frown. "Are you mocking us? You're going to die! You should be begging, you and your useless quirk should be begging for your life!"
From her spot on the ground, the brunette remained silent at the remark. Her mother's words ran through her head about training and not to worry about villains, yet here she lay being unable to move. It was comical.
"Tch, fuck this," cursed the man as he held out his hand. Souseiki closed her eyes as she saw a colorful light charge at the palm of his hand. A cacophony sounded, but no pain reached her body this time around. A broad spectrum of colors destroyed the building structure to her left. From the looks of it, the attack was redirected.
"Satoru! You fucking missed!" Roared the female's voice. "She was right the-" her voice then cut off before a shriek filled the air, then that too was cut short.
Due to the destruction, the area was now filled with smoke and debris. Large fragments of the mall were resting around her. By some miracle, not one managed to crush her during the wreckage. After hernia little to no bickering from the avenging fools, Souseiki peered up at the damage. Ahead of her, she saw two dark figures approaching. "Took you heroes long enough," she quipped with a ghost of a smirk.
"Guess again," rasped a voice.
