"Dammit! I don't understand any of this Todoroki!" I smacked my head on top of the bar. He met up with me at Yuki's to help me study. It's been a week since I talked to Bakugo. When I woke up the next morning for school, he was already gone. I'm sure he left the second I fell asleep. That same morning Todoroki offered to tutor me. I tried to refuse but he insisted. Really the whole class said they didn't mind helping me here or there to catch up. The extra training on Saturday has helped too. I'm not sure how I got so lucky with such kind and understanding classmates.

"Concentrate. With abilities like yours, your possibilities are endless. From freezing a large area of people, to healing wounds. Telekinesis really is so vast, that's probably why you can't get a handle on it. What does Aizawa have you do on Saturdays?"

"He's been having me do a lot of combat training. This last time I had to levitate a bus for an hour, and if I dropped it at all before that point, I would have to run a 5k and start over."

Todoroki looked down at the book. "Seems, like he's preparing your body and mind for something big."

"Excuse me! Can I get some service!" I turned to the customer. "Yeah, I'll be right there!" I ran to the table apologizing profusely. The woman at the table scream. "What's wrong? Do you need water?" I turned around, the point of an ice pick now touching the tip of my nose.

"Todoroki, what the hell?"

"I'm surprised you caught it to be honest. It seems like your training is paying off. Now back to the book, what did you want to focus on?"

I took the customer's order and reviewed the list. The possibilities were endless! "TELEKINETIC CHOKING!"

Todoroki cringed. "Really? Out of all these things? Maybe you should pick a few." Looking over the list again a few popped out to me.

"Elemental Telekinesis would be cool, teleporting, and telekinetic pressure, crushing, or destruction would be great too."

"That's pretty ambitious. But the way Aizawa is training you, I bet you could do it." Todoroki smiled. "By the time you are done, you might actually be a force to be recon with." Todoroki continued to read as I delivered peoples orders. "Want to come over after you're off and train some more?"

"Sure!" I should take every opportunity to train, and if Todoroki is offering, I would be dumb to say no.

When my shift ended, I changed quickly into my UA gym clothes, and chased Todoroki out the door. We talked most of the way there. About training regimens, how to improve quirk power, defense. We trained late into the night. It had to have been 1am. I was lying on his floor. "I should head out. Its so late and I have to meet with Aizawa first thing in the morning." I was breathing heavily. Todoroki's home was a perfect training ground. It reminded me of historic Japanese, with a compound set up. I bet his entire family always feels Zen. He sat down next to me. Only breaking a small sweat, handing me a bottle of water.

"You did great. Managed to dodge all my small attacks."

I sat up looking around, hundreds of ice shards around us. I did that. Tears, started to fill my eyes.

"Tadoka, you're crying."

"I think…I'm happy. In a matter of a week I have grown so much, and its all thanks to you Todoroki." He stood up and lent me a hand. His hand was so warm. I looked down at our hands. "To think you were the first person to make me cry, and make me happy." He dropped his hand away from mine. It's like it immediately became cold.

"That's not true, emotions are more than just the basics. You have been expressing yourself in your own unique ways since I have met you. Give some credit to yourself Aiya."

He used my name. I was feeling something else now, and I'm not sure what it was. I looked down at my hand again. "I'll walk you to the door." I nodded my head and followed after him.

"What's this Shoto, a girl?" It was the deep voice of the second best, Endeavor.

Todoroki suddenly became tense and angered. "Aiya, this is Endeavor."

He was so tall and intimidating. Todoroki doesn't really talk about him outside of rejecting his fathers' power. It's hard to believe my parents ever thought they had a fighting a chance, now that I am up close to him. "Aiya Tadoka." I outstretched my hand. He didn't take my hand.

"Tadoka, sounds familiar."

"You took down my parents 15 years ago. These refused to surrender, so you know, natural consequences."

The air got uncomfortable. Did I say something? "I-I'm not mad about it or anything, or seeking revenge as some weird motive." I became flustered.

"Well…that's good." Was all Endeavor could muster.

"I'll walk you out now." Todoroki gestured to the door with his arm.

"Thank you again Todoroki. I really appreciate it. I'll see you Monday." He nodded and went back inside.

It was so late. I didn't even think about bringing a jacket. It started to rain again. I must have the worst luck. Walking on the sidewalks I bumped into someone. What is this? Fear? "Are you alright sir?"

He turned to face me, "Oh young lady, are you from UA? Help me! These villains are right behind me."

"I'll protect you sir, while we run and wait for the police!" I really can't use my powers outside of school, but I have to protect him. I grabbed his hand. He wasn't scared anymore. "Wait, how did you know I was a UA student?" Beneath his hood I could see his smile. "Playing friends with a Todoroki, planning to avenge mom and dad without me, Aiya?"

Shit. "Hello, Ena." Ena was my older brother. He was five when mom and dad died. After Middle school he just sort of disappeared. Ai and I couldn't ever find him. "Where have you been?"

"In the shadows, honing my quirk, ready to avenge our parents. I can't forgive Endeavor for what he's done. Join me sister." He held out his hand. Ena was evil. How could he. When we were young we always talked about being a hero team.

"Ena, I'm going to be a hero. I want to be better and do better for our family. I'm sorry but I can't let you invade the Todoroki's home." I pulled out my phone ready to dial the police before it was kicked out of my hand.

"Little Aiya, did you think I wouldn't bring friends?" I became surrounded by thugs. "My thing is, you are the only one born with the perfect combination of Mom and Dad. I don't only plan to take down Endeavor, I plan to take you with me, our siblings are so weak and useless, or quirkless like Ai."

Ai? What about Ai? "Ena, what did you do?"

"Dispose of them of course. One by one, our siblings fell with their worthless power. Ai was easy though. She cried the whole time. Begging me not to harm you. The damn idiot, I never planned to hurt my dear baby sister."

Ai, my sister…he has to be bluffing. Trying to screw with me. I had to get home. I had to find my sister. I turned to run but I was cut off. I'm going to have to fight. My hands at the ready. Ena…could I beat him? My legs were shaking. Influence by Ena, I assumed. "So, you're going to fight Aiya?"

"You're damn right, I'm going to fight. I'm not going with you."

"So be it, Aiya." Ena stomped his foot into the ground. It began to raise and lower me in waves, knocking me off balance. I won't win, my only chance was to escape. I focused my energy into my body. Turning to the two closest thugs, I ran at them. I swept my hand over them. I didn't need them hurt, just out of my way. The two thugs flew in the side of the building. There's my chance to run. I took off, all the running Aizawa had me doing increased my endurance. I was able to use my quirk and help me run faster since my muscles were up to speed with it. I can't run home just yet. That exactly where they would check first. I should text Todoroki, and let him know of the ambush. Feeling around in my pockets, shit, that's right, it was kicked out my hand. "Aiya, you can't run for me."

Ena's already caught up? I covered my mouth a ducked behind a bush. I was going to have to run back to Todoroki's to tell him. "Aiya, come out and play!" I held onto my chest. I have to stay calm or else he will sense me. Ena's emotion's quirk isn't as sensitive as mine, but his mud control quirk is out of this world. He passed by me. Thank god.

"Cry Baby?" I looked into the fierce eyes of Bakugo. I grabbed his arm and pulled him down. "Hey watch it you witch!"

"Bakugo, I need help. No time to explain but we have to help Todoroki." I don't know if it was the panic my voice, the desperation in my eyes, but he reluctantly agreed. "Call the police, and then we will run for Todoroki's."

Once it was clear we ran. As fast as my legs could carry me. I grabbed onto my chest again. What if I was to late and Todoroki was hurt? We approached Todoroki's home. Part of it was on fire but the thugs I initially saw were all be loaded into the back of a cruiser. "TODOROKI!" I called for him. Begging the universe that he was okay. HE stepped outside his home unscathed. "I tried to come back as soon as possible! I was able to call; they took my phone."

He placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "We are ok Aiya, we can't be brought down my low-level criminals like these."

I searched around. Ena must have been more focused on finding me and got away. He would be back later. "I have to go check on my sister. I'm glad you're okay."

I began to run. "Wait. Cry baby, we're coming with you." Bakugo and Todoroki were right on my tail. I felt like I was going so slow, my legs couldn't move fast enough. Tonight, I felt fear. Fear for my friends, my well being and my sister. Ena wouldn't really harm her, would he?

I raced up the stairs to my apartment. The door was broken open. No, this can't be happening. "Ai! Ai! Where are you?" I heard shallow breathes from the living room.

"A-Aiya." Her soft voice but she didn't sound right, she sounded tired. I flipped on the switch. My sister. Drowning in a pool of her own blood. Sputtering bubbles of blood in between her breaths. I dropped to my knees. My chest was going to explode. How long was she alone for? I couldn't save her. "E-na came." She coughed.

"Relax Ai, everything is going to be okay, the police are coming. We are going to get through this." I ran my fingers through her hair. Her yellow eyes losing the light they once had. "Everything will be okay."

"Y-you…k-know…you are…going t-to m-make a…" she took a deep breath in coughing as she exhaled. Reaching up she placed a cold hand on my face. "g-great hero s-someday." I held her closer to my body. This wasn't happening.

"Ai, you need to stay quiet." I begged her. She just smiled at me. Wiping away my tears.

"I l-love you Aiya, I w-wish I could b-be here to s-see how great y-you will b-become." Her hand fell away from my cheek hitting the wood floor.

I picked it back up and held it to my face again. "Ai, no, you can't leave me here." I rubbed her hand against my face. "Move dammit." My sister was gone. Bakugo and Todoroki stood behind me, I didn't care how weak they saw me. "Ai, move, wake up please!" The light from my sister's eyes had faded completely. I started to breath heavily. I felt trapped. "I can't breathe…. I can't breathe." I stood up.

"Aiya…" Todoroki attempted to grab a shoulder.

I pulled away from him. "I! CAN'T! FUCKING! BREATH!" I dropped to my knees and screamed as loud as I possibly could. "AAAAAAAAIIIIII! WAKE UP DAMMIT!" My friends watched afar as I cried over my sister. Choking on my tears, begging that she would wake up.

"We need to move her." An officer mentioned. "This is a crime scene now, we have to gather evidence, I'm sorry. Does the young lady have a place to go?"

No, they can't separate me from my sister to soon. She just died; I need time. I clung to my sisters' body. Choking the same way, she was not even five minutes ago. I felt two warm hands grab my face. Lifting me up I met the angry pair of eyes. Bakugo blew into my face hard, forcing me to inhale. He did it again and again forcing me to breath normally until I had calmed. "You can't stay here Tadoka, we have to go. The police have work."

Bakugo, used my real name…so the three of us walked. Todoroki filled a bag full of my belongings. I wasn't sure where we were headed…women and children's shelter maybe? I looked at my clothes. I was covered in my sisters' blood. When we stopped, we were in front of a big house. "Icy- Hot and I talked, it would be best for you to stay here. As much of a pain its going to be, you can't stay alone, or at his place. Whoever targeted your sister also targeted him."

I could hardly process what they were saying, but whatever it is, they had to be right. Todoroki grabbed onto my hand. "I'll be by tomorrow." I could only manage a nod.

Bakugo walked me inside and straight to the bathroom for a shower. I washed the last part of my sister down the drain. Why my sister? Why Ai? She was so good. A pure soul. Our oldest sister who cared for all of us. Sacrificing everything for us since she was a child. I stepped out of the shower and changed into jammies. Sitting on the floor, I cried. How would I ever move past this?

"You don't have to be alone." Bakugo's voice came from the other side of the door. I reached up the door knob. Moving, I opened the door to see he was sitting against it, waiting for me. "I don't know what to do, or how to help you. I'm not good at this sort of thing, so don't expect much…"

I cut him off and threw my arms around him. Knocking him over he braced himself. He just let me cry, into the hours of the morning, until I finally passed out of exhaustion.
