Epilogue

"It's time for recess kids!" I heard one of my babysitters yelled out. Me and a bunch of other kids went outside to play but it's always anything but fun. The swings break all the time, the slide is a death trap and then there's glass and nails everywhere on the ground and to top it off I'm the only kid here with a quirk. My mom can never find a good babysitter so she justs dumps me here for a few hours. The sitters don't care what happens to us. Last week a kid was on the swing and was going really high up but the seat came loose and he fell and hurt himself. I was not gonna be the next kid to get sent home crying.

There was an opening in a part of the gate where I could fit through. I got out and ran to the front yard without being seen. As I walked through a few bushes I saw this park across the street. There were other kids everywhere. The grass was green, the playground looked like fun and it was right in front of me. I quickly ran across the street and I felt like I was in a whole new world. So many bright colors and no mean babysitters telling me what to do. I'm running around and not paying attention and I run into someone. She looked hurt. Her hair is bobbed and curved inwards at the ends, two longer clumps taking the same shape on either side of her face, and short bangs that reach roughly a quarter of the way down her forehead.

I then noticed like she was going to cry so I helped her up. "Hey, are you alright-." I said to her but then began to float off the ground when I touched her hand. I started to freak out as I was going higher. But then I fell back to the ground on my hands and knees. "I'm sorry, I accidentally used my quirk on you." She said still with tears in her eyes. I quickly stood up. "That was so cool!" "It was like I was flying!" "That was awesome!" "Your not gonna run away?" She asked me wiping her tears. "Run away, why would I do that?" I asked her confused. "My friends haven't gotten their quirks yet so now they don't wanna play with me anymore." She told to me looking down at her hands.

"Why would they do that?" "Well until they see your power as cool as I think it is I'll be your friend." I said as I held out my left hand and I pushed a bench that was nailed to the concrete across the park hitting a tree. I looked back at her and she looked in awe. I then used my right hand to pull a trashcan closer but I ended up just pulling the lid. It almost hit me in the head but I ducked at the last second. "I'm still figuring it out." I said sounding exhausted. "That's really cool, um...." "What's your name?" She asked. "Oh right, my names Christan, what's your name?" "My names Ochaco, I am four years old." She told me putting up four fingers and smiling. That day was so much fun. I made a new friend and she has a quirk too. I thought as she left with her mom and dad. "Bye bye Christan!" She yelled out as she waved to me with a smile on her face. I waved back and left with mom that had just arrived to pick me up.

That was ten years ago. I am now 15 years old and I'm now living with Ochaco and her family. Four years ago my parents died due to a villain attack. My two sisters and I were the only survivors. They went back home in America to live with grandma. I haven't spoken to them since. I wish that was different but that's all in the past. Now I'm on my way to school when I notice a huge crowd. I stop and see a hero taking on villain. I try to see who it is but there's too many people. I then notice Ochaco running behind me looking really exhausted. "Really, another villain attack." She said breathing heavily. "You know the world we live in, this is the norm."

I said still trying to look over the people to see what hero it is. "It's almost time for school to start." "We'll never make it in time with this crowd in the way." "Well you know I could care less about getting to school but since you really wanna get there on time I'll care enough for you." I said as I picked her up and used my quirk to you push us off the ground and on top of a building. When we landed she had this pouty look on her face. "What's wrong I got us a way around the crowd." I asked as I put her down. "I know but I told you to warn me before you pick me and just jump off with me." "You know it feels like I'm using my quirk on myself." She told me looking like she was gonna puke. "I'm sorry, let's just get to school Bubble." I said before we started jumping from building to building.

AT SCHOOL...

"You guys are all third years now." "It's time you to start seriously thinking about your future." Our teacher stated while grabbing papers from her desk. "I would hand out these future career forms but...I know you ALL want to be heroes!" She yelled out as she threw the papers out of the window causing the entire class to explode in excitement as they showed off their quirks. "Yes, you all have great quirks." "But you know it's against the rules to use them at school!" The teacher yelled out as I looked over to Uraraka and we just smiled at each other. I gave her a thumbs up as the final bell rang. I got up and walked over to her as she was packing up her things.

"Hey Ochaco you going home or do you have do those after school stuff?" I asked her. "After school stuff, is that what you call it?" "And no I'll be just a minute, I have to get something from my locker." "It's something I've been thinking about for a while now, you'll love it." She tells me before running off to her locker. "I'll be waiting out front." I yelled out to her before walking outside. As I stood there for about 5 minutes I heard someone from around the corner of the building. I walked over and saw a kid getting pushed around by some bullies. Them again, do they ever learn. I thought to myself. "You think you can hang with us." "You really don't know your place." One of the guys said as he held his hand up showing his now spiked hand. The other friends were also about to use there quirk on him but I used mine to push them over the kid and into a wall. "Oww, what the hell was that?" One of them said holding their head in pain.

"You guys always pick on the weak." "Your quirks are a gift not a privilege." "Use them right or you'll be answering to me." I scolded them while giving them a glare. They shook in fear and then ran away and yelling. "Your just lucky we have better things to do." I let out a sigh of relief as I turned back to help the other guy up. "You good?" "Those guys are just jerks." I said as he grabbed my hand and stood up. "I'm fine and thanks, for that." "They've really been a pain in my butt." "It was nothing, just dont crap from guys like them." "Whats your quirk anyway?" "I could help you out if they try this again." He looked confused at first but then told me. "I can distribute kinetic energy to objects." He looked saddened by what he told me. He must think he has nothing special. "Your quirk is pretty interesting—" I picked up a pebble from the ground." "It's a lot more than meets the eye." I said handing him the pebble. "This pebble is you." I told him. He looked more confused. "Use your quirk on that pebble and then throw it at that wall." I instructed him. He was hesitant at first but eventually did it. The pebble had this purple glow to it before he threw it at the wall. The moment it made contact with the wall it made a small explosion go off, leaving a hole in the wall. He looked down at his hands in awe. "See you are special." The pebble "you" are very powerful, all it takes is a little ingenuity." I said handing him a new pebble. "I gotta go." I said as I waved him goodbye and walked upfront again and seeing Uraraka looking around with a pink bag in her hand. I walked up to her and she noticed me quickly. "Oh there you are, where'd you go?" She asked me with this worried look on her face. "I was helping a kid out." I told her. "You didn't get into a fight did you?" I looked away and started to awkwardly whistle. "You did didn't you, I can still see the cracks around your eyes. She said rubbing around my eyes."

"I'm fine Ochaco, I don't know why you worry so much." I stated looking confused. "I don't worry, you always talk about how people should use their quirks responsibly but you don't even follow your words." I do to. "Then why not go to UA Highschool with me and become a pro hero?" She said pulling out a notebook with a UA logo on the front. "Really, UA?" "You think we could make it to UA?" "That is the top school around here." I informed her. "Yes, I know that's why I want to go." She said with this serious look in her eye. "I didn't get why she was so adamant about this." Oh that's right, her family.....

So I'm going to be a hero. I'll make that money... so that my mom and dad can have easier lives!

"So will you go to UA with me Christan?" She said with that serious look on her face. I thought about it. I do like protecting others, no I want to help people. I've been doing my best every now and then. Using quirk sparingly. Only to help people from a distance. "You know what, Ochaco." I said before looking back at her and smiling. "I will become a hero." As I said that made her face turn from shock to utter joy. As she at me and hugged me lifting me off the ground. I was gonna say something about her using her quirk but I'll let her have her happy moment.

At Home...

"So you two wanna go to UA?" Ochaco's mom asked. "Yeah, Ochaco suggested it today." "I wasn't into it at first but now I think I might be able to get something out of this." "This is so exciting." "We can really do this." She said putting out her fist for a fist bump. I fisted pumped her before we finished went to our room. I went to my desk and filled out the form for UA. I explained how my quirk works. I listed my personal information. Then there was this last question. Why do you want to be a hero? I really thought about it as my TV played in the background. On it I heard All Mights voice and it caught my attention. "A pro should always be ready to risk his life!!" I heard him yell out before defeating some slime villain in a single punch. He never ceases to surprise me. I then looked back at the paper? What is your inspiration for becoming a hero? Her...she's my inspiration.
