I dash for the door and throw it open in a simple gesture, putting all my force into my run as I try to dash away. I feel black tears fall down my cheeks from the use of my quirk. I glance at Tsukauchi as I run, only to be struck by a large body straight against mine.

I stumble backwards and see him, the dark man, towering over me. His eyes glowing and his scarf raised slightly from his neck. His face shifted in pure... disgust? My hands are still bound behind my back and emitting the black smoke around me.

I try to glance past him as smoke poors into the hallway but the smoke is.. dissipating. Quickly. I look at my hands and try to force some out but nothing.

I look up at him in shock, my face only a foot away from his chest. "You." I say in realization. It's his quirk that's been stopping me.

I turn back to glance at the officer I left on the ground and see my nightmare fading into smoke as it wafts through the air. Fuck. I got to think quick. I whip my head around and around to the figure in front of me but he's too fast. His eyes glow and a long cord of ribbon covers me quickly. Binding me tight, locking my arms against my sides and rendering me useless with this guys quirk.

"AGH!" I yell as I wiggle against the restraints.

The smoke clears and I see Tsukauchi getting up off the ground, his body shaking slightly as he stands.

"Are you alright Tsukauchi?" The dark man asks while his eyes remained fixed on me.

Tsukauchi nods as he brushes off his sleeves and pants. "I didn't realize it was going to be that... big." He sighs and I can't help but smirk slightly. Tsukauchi walks towards us and I can see his flushed cheeks and eyes that I recognize oh too well. Adrenaline.

The dark man nods but doesn't say anything. I wonder what he's thinking right now. "I've got her now" he finally says. I feel a little power rush towards me and my hands try to create a fog but it immediately is pulled away from me.

"What the hell did you do to me old man?" I spit at him, trying to observe. We haven't touched so it must be sight or sound related. He wasn't talking to me directly when Tsukauchi came to do my bounds and none of us spoke a word. Either it's sound activated with a time limit or it's sight related.

"Calm yourself." He states as the grip with the bonds tightens and I feel my breathing getting heavier with pain.

Tsukauchi walks past me, watching me intently as he does and stops to whisper something to the dark man.

Is this really it for me? They're gonna send me off to jail and I'm just gonna rot? I've got to find a way out of this. I feel my black tears dry on my cheeks. Blowing one away as it leaks towards my mouth. My body getting a little tired from the use of my quirk.

I glare. "What? You're not gonna share your secret with me?" I pretend to pout as my breathing gets stiffer.

Tsukauchi glances back at me once he's done speaking with the man who turns off quirks. His eyes are a color I can't read. He looks almost worried? Maybe because I'm too strong or maybe because they decided my fate and they're just going to kill me. He walks past the dark man and out the door, shutting it behind him as I'm held in the most vulnerable spot I've ever been in. Quirkless and unable to fight. I can think of a plan I got this.

I stare at the red eyes piercing back at me.

"Settle down. We have something to talk about." The vines around me start to loosen but his eyes still glow bright. Part of his hair starting to wave like a gust of wind blowing through the room.

He grabs the chair that id tipped in my escape attempt and sits in it. The ribbons around me loosening enough to move but not to run.

"I have NOTHING to discuss with you." I spit on the ground in disgust.

Aizawa watches the floor where I spit and I feel again the surge of my potential power before it's ripped from me again. Blinking. It has to be blinking.

He stares back at me blankly. "We don't have rehab for bratty children, Akumu." He finally says. "Instead, I've decided you will be attending UA under my supervision as you train for the hero course. Until I deem you fit to be released back into society."

I scoff in disbelief. "And if I refuse?"

"If you refuse or" he suggests "I don't deem you fit to be released then you will be sent to prison for the crimes you've committed." His dry tone leaves no room for negotiation as he sits in a chair across from me.

"I'll never be a hero." I throw the words at him. An emphasis on hero.

"Fine. Then you can stay in jail like a villain." He says as he stands up. The binds around me falling. "But Akumu... you have a raw potential that could be the workings of a great hero if you tried."

I bite the inside of my lip and think as he walks away. This could be my only chance to escape. I'll agree with him and get out as soon as I can. But where will I be staying? Will I be locked up anyway?

"Okay!" I blurt out before he can reach for the handle. "Okay. Fine." He stops and reaches for the handle again.

"I'll have an officer escort you."

My eyes widen. Escort me to jail or to school? It's like midnight do I have to start classes right now??

He steps out without another word and the bonds go with him, pulling back like a fishing pole around his neck, and folding back into a scarf before the door shuts behind him.

My mouth hangs agape in shock. I can't believe this is happening right now. I've spent all my years fighting for this NOT to happen! And now I'm.. I don't even know what is going to happen to me. But I know I'm not going down without a real fight as.

The door opens and Tsukauchi is with another large police officer. His skin tinted almost green like camo and his full body covered with fabric. Long sleeves, gloves, turtleneck.

Dammit.

I let him grab on the chain that hangs down the the ground. If I fight back with them then they'll just throw me in jail or worse. I'll let it go for now. I let him tug on the chain and push me forward towards the door. I feel Tsukauchi's eyes on me as I walk and a shiver runs through me. He holds the door open as the camo officer pushes me and we end up in a long hallway in the middle of the police station. I pass reception and we step outside into the night.

Must be past 1am by now.

I see a cruiser at the end of the steps and Camo guy shoves me down "Easy!" I buck my shoulders at him as he pushes me. His hands are barely at my shoulders this guy is huge.

He cups my head and moves it down into the back of the cruiser and locks my cuffs into a buckle at the bottom of my seat. The door shuts and him and Tsukauchi gets into the driver seat.

I look out into the night as we drive away. Catching a glimpse of the dark man standing outside of the station, his hands in his pockets, as we drive.

"Who even is that guy?" I ask.

There's no reply as our car speeds up.

"where are we going?" I ask again. Oddly softer than last time. And again, no respone. I scoff as I meet Tsukauchi's eyes with mine in the rear view mirror.

Here's to the end of my life I guess.
