I sit uncomfortably in a metal chair, my hands cuffed and sleeved behind my back. I look around at the white padded room and the chair that sits directly across from me. The cold air hitting my face over and over again.
I stare hatefully into the one way mirror across from me and I look for any sign of someone on the other side.
This is fucking dumb. I only got stuck here because my powers stopped working.. I wonder how they..
My train of thought is interrupted by the door opening and a tall man walking in. Damn he looks like shit. I think to myself. He has long black hair and a scarf? With black clothes and eye bags that severely outweigh my own. Which I wasn't aware was possible.
"I can't believe I have to do this." He mumbles to himself as he folds over a clipboard and sits down in the metal chair across from me. Even though I'm dressed in layers, I still feel a chill as he glances in my direction. "Name." He calls coldly.
I ignore him and shoot daggers in his direction while I try to wiggle my hands free.
"Come on kid. I don't wanna be here. Name." He says sternly and my brain fights if I should tell him or not.
"All might" I smirk.
His eyes finally move up from the clipboard to look at me and my body shudders. His glare is penetrating my defenses and I freeze for a moment while trying to keep my cold front up.
He looks back down. "You're wasting my time. If we don't do this then I'll hand you over to the police and they can deal with it." I clench my jaw and speak. "Akumu." I say with just as much coldness as he did.
"Quirk." He lists off and I roll my eyes.
"Nightmare"
He looks up at me again. "Cool name but that doesn't tell me what you can do." He looks back down "Akumu"
This dude forgot my name already? What a-
"I store and manifest fears" I say bluntly. Trying to give as little information as possible.
He writes this down and I glare at him. My fingers move quickly behind my back and I finally start to feel the sleeves loosening around my hands. If I can just touch him.
"Address." He speaks again.
"None."
"Occupation." He asks and I scoff.
"I'm 15." Dumbass.
The man across from me sighs. "You were caught with Breaking and entering, attempted robbery, attempted battery and evading arrest." He looks up at me through his eyebrows. "Apparently you have no home and no job so seems like Jail is the best option for you."
I scoff and lean back in the chair, my fingers wiggling and the sleeve finally falling onto the ground. I move the chair to hide the noise of it hurting the floor. My hands finally free if I can reach him with the cuffs on. "Yeah I'm alright but thanks." I say sarcastically with a fake smile on my face.
"You don't have much of a choice." He looks back down at the paper and I use that as my opening to feel up the large cuffs on each of my wrists.
"Can't you just send me to a rehab or something" I ask, trying to stall for time.
He looks back up at me and crosses his legs. "They don't have rehabs for children who act up. You want to commit crimes like an adult then you get punished as one." He says bluntly and my heart starts to race as I figure out how I'm gonna get my hands on them.
"You can't just let me off with a warning?" I spit back at him. Feeling my wrist start to loosen in the adult sized cuff around me. My heart rate quickening.
"Stop it." I look up at him in shock as he says that. Does he know about the handcuffs? Aizawas stands and turns towards the mirror. "I'll pull her file.. someone come fix her handcuffs"
My jaw drops as he says that. Did he know the whole time? I scoff and cross my feet as I lean back in the chair. The man walks out without looking back at me and I clench my jaw in frustration. Fuck. I can't go to jail! I'm just a kid. They see that right?
It takes a couple minutes, and I sit alone in this absurdly padded and empty white room until someone comes back in. I hadn't even bothered trying to get out while I waited, figuring they would just make it harder to take off the more I got out, and I watch as another tall man enters. His hair is a dark blue and he looks so... normal? Since when do people look normal nowadays.
He comes behind me and fastens the straps of my cuffs and I stick my fingers up to graze his hand, biting my lip to hold back the smirk at the power he just gave me without even knowing and I freeze.. waiting to strike.
As he slides on my sleeves I start. I feel the power of my quirk rising in my chest, paining my eyes and I...
I can't..
My face drops in surprise as the officer walks around me again and checks to make sure I'm all secured. I look at him in shock. Was it him? Did he do this to me? Why can't I use my quirk?
I shoot angry daggers into his eyes as I sit and bite the inside of my cheek in worry. My eyes shooting up as the sickly man in black walks back in.
"Thanks Tsukauchi" he mutters as the officer 'tsuhauchi' apparently, walks out.
My eyes narrow on the dark man and I glare with pure fury, my entire body trying to use my power but falling short, grasping for the reigns of my quirk.
The man sits across from me again, his elbows resting on his knees as he slouches forward and opens a small file. I stretch myself to try and peek over the file edge.
"You spent 4 years in an orphanage when you were younger but escaped when you were 11. Your parents were drug-"
"I know." I cut him off.
"Then you know that these kinds of things have punishments"
We stare at each other for a moment. Until I sigh.
"Send me to prison then."
"You're 15. You'd do better at an orphanage-"
"Don't send me to an orphanage" I interrupt and he looks at me again.
"You'd do well to let me finish my sentences." He pauses. "But fine." He stands and closes my file as he looks at me. "Go to jail." And without another word he walks out.
As soon as the door is closed my mind spins. I can get out. How do I get out? I'll wait till they drag me away and I'll fight my way to an escape. If my quirk comes back then I can use it and escape in the smoke.
I try again to pull on the chain of my power but there's no response. I kick on the chair in fury and writhe my arms around in anger. "AUGH!" I yell as I throw myself against the chair and chains that hold me. "FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ALL!" I thrash around and kick the other chair over, pulling again at the sleeve that gloves my hands. I stare into the mirror and swear I can feel myself making eye contact with someone on the other side so I glare, feeding all my fury into my eyes. "FUCK YOUUUU!" I spit through my teeth as I settle down. "I HATE YOUUU!" I scream out my eyes pierce the dull mirror.
The door opens and the officer named Tsukauchi walks in "Let's go" he says as he steps around me and unleashes the chain that attaches me to the floor.
I use it immediately and pull my arms against it, the chain becoming taught in his hands and pulling my wrists back. The chain twaps on the ground as I pull it quickly and I turn around, using my feet to hopefully knock this guy to the ground. I use a moment to assess the situation. This guy is tall.Maybe 5'10.. if I can get him on the ground I'll use the fear I have. I sort through my catalog and find the fear I got from him. Okay.. not the best... sorry Tsukauchi.
I kick suddenly and he stumbles but doesn't fall. Black smoke erupts from my hands and fill the room, I slink to the ground to enact my quirk.
Silence sits for a moment.. the black smoke settling before a voice calls out... "Naomasa?"
Tsukauchi's brows raise as he finds his footing. His hands ready to fight back but he can't see in the smoke that's filled the room.
"Nao?" The small voice calls out again. "I can't see Nao! Help!"
Tsukauchi's body stiffens in fear. "Makoto?! Makoto? Where are you?" He starts to move as he searches for the voice.
The voice coughs and whimpers "I'm over her Nao!" Cough cough "Help!"
Tsukauchi holds his arms out in front of him as a barrier, swiping around in the air "Stay put! I'll find you!" He stumbles forward and his foot hits the chair softly.
I hear him and lunge in my attack. Using one hand to push on his chest and the other to brace the back of his head as I throw him to the ground. Scattering away once I hear him coughing. I crouch again by the wall
"wha-" I hear from him. And I glance at the door.
Using this opening, I focus my power on emerging a window of smoke behind Tsukauchi's head. Revealing a small crying girl.. His sister but as a child. He sees her and his eyes widen in surprise "M-Makoto?" He blinks away the thick smoke as he starts to get up.
I watch until he's turned away from me to chase after the door. Running quietly while I keep my eyes on the officer.
Creeping low to the ground to avoid the mirror and lurking through more puffs of smoke coming from my hands.
"I'm here it's okay..." he says as he starts to crawl over to her.
Shit I gotta get out fast.
I throw open the door and burst out, hoping I can use my smoke to avoid any other officers but I don't make it past the door before bumping into the dark man.
