Prologue

Age 9:

The sun shone bright through the curtains. A little girl fast asleep in her bed, arms holding a stuffed red bear. Stitches could be seen around the face, proof that this toy has seen better days. Her H/C hair covering her face, while her eyes begin to slowly open. She wakes up to her messy room. Toys scattered around the floor and and paint on her walls. She lets out a big yawn and stretches her arms and legs. She rubs her eyes while she makes her way off her bed. She heads out of her room and down the hall in her nightgown . She opens the door to the room at the end of the hall-

"Mommyyyyyy~" she whines. The room was dark so she carefully makes her way to the bed. She stumbles a bit to get there.

"Mommy, wake upppp, I'm hungryyyy~" the little girl states as she tugs on the blanket. A women can be seen slowly stirring in her sleep. Her eyes finally open as her blanket is pulled off of her. She sits up to turn on the lamp next to her on her nightstand.

"Oh Sweetie , sorry , Mommy's alarm didn't go off" the women says as she picks up her daughter up and onto her bed. A man next to her turns on his side to face his wife and daughter with a tired look on his face. He lets out a big yawn and places his hand on his daughters head and ruffles her already messy hair.

"You read my mind Kiddo, Daddy's hungry too" he says as he gets out of bed. He turns to look at his daughter with a smirk on his face.

"Whoever gets to the kitchen first gets to choose breakfast!" he says with a smile on his face while he runs to the door and out to the hall. The little girl's eyes widen as she hurriedly got off the bed as she zoomed out of the door.

" HEY, THAT'S NOT FAIR!" she yelled after her father. Her mother giggled as she made her way to the kitchen. She sees her husband with their daughter on his shoulders while dancing around the kitchen with wide smiles on their faces. Laughter filling the small apartment they lived in.

" Daddyyy you cheated" the little girl laughed as she held on to her father's hair.

" Me? Cheat? I have done no such thing" he stated with his hand on his chest dramatically.

This was Y/N Lynn's family. A mom and dad. She didn't have any siblings, and she was ok with that. She had never been more happy than she is now. She had her mother's eyes and nose. While she had her father's hair and smile. Her mother was a beautiful women with flowing dark purple hair. Her father had messy hair with striking clear blue eyes. Her mother worked as a part-time nurse since she didn't have a quirk. Her father was also quirkless, working as a police officer. Y/N always admired her parents for being able to save people. Even though they didn't have quirks, they were her heroes.

To say her parents were surprised to find that their daughter had a quirk was an understatement.

Flashback~ Age 4

They couldn't believe their eyes when they found their daughter sitting on their ceiling coloring while crayons floated around her in their living room. Her dad screamed with joy while her mother tried desperately to get her down safely.

"Kenji! Help me get her down! We can celebrate when shes on the floor!" her mother says panicked as she grabs a pillow in case she fell.

"Alright alright, I'll get her down, so don't worry," he starts as he stands on their coffee table to get their daughter off the ceiling "you'll get wrinkles on that pretty face of yours." he looked at his wife with a smirk while he cradled their daughter in his arms. This seemed to deactivate her quirk so all the crayons fell on his head.

"Ouch" he whined as he rubbed his head while getting of the table and to his wife.

When he looked at his wife, she looked back him. They both stared at each other with blank expressions on their face-

"HOLY SHIT, OUR DAUGHTER HAS A QUIRK!" they both screamed with shock and excitement on their faces.

"HEY, no cursing in front of N/N." her mother stated as she looked accusingly at her husband.

"Huhhh, you cussed too, why am I getting in trouble here?" he asked offended. She looked at him with a murderous expression.

"I mean, You're right, I'll never do that again. Please forgive me O Great One." he said while kneeling, daughter still squirming in his arms.

Her mother couldn't help a laugh escape her throat as she smacked her husband's head.

"You may be forgiven,", she says as he stands up with a goofy grin on his face " as long as you make breakfast." she finished with a smile on her face.

" Anything for the Great Mei Ling and N/N" he said playfully as he kissed his wife and daughter on their foreheads.

End of Flashback~

" Soooo, since I won the race, that means I get to choose breakfast" Kenji said to his daughter with an innocent closed eye smile. She looked at him with a pout and her arms crossed while she sat on the counter.

"You still cheated" she huffed as she looked longingly at the box of waffle mix next to her. Kenji noticed this and put his hand to his chin in a thinking position.

"Hmmmm, what to eat," Y/N looked at him with an awaiting expression, wondering if she was going to have to suffer and eat boring cereal again.

" I know! We haven't had waffles in a while, right Mei Ling?" he asked his wife who was leaning on the wall with an amused look on her face.

" That is true, and we even have whipped cream and fruit to go with it." she said with a smile as she headed to the fridge.

"YESSSS WAFFLES!" Y/N yelled with excitement as she threw her hands up in the air.

"Waffles it is then." Kenji said while he picked up his daughter and spun her around, making her laugh.

" Okay Kiddo, let's get to work so we can eat."

"Okay!"

Time skip~

After they all ate waffles, the Lynns all sat in their small living room watching Disney movies.

Currently playing on the TV was Lady and the Tramp.

"When are we going to get a puppy?"

Kenji and Mei Ling looked at each other, waiting for the other to say something. Mei Ling sighed while Kenji smirked at her, wondering what she was going to say.

"Sweetie, you know dogs are a big responsibility. Daddy and I work all week, and your too young to take care of a puppy all on your own." she told her daughter as she brushed her hair out of her face.

She pouted and crossed her arms, "But all the kids in my class have one, and I can take care of a puppy. I'll feed it and give them a bath when they get dirty and-"

"I know you think you can take care of one, but it's a lot harder than it may seem." Mei Ling cut her daughter off. Y/N huffed out and looked back at the TV with tears threatening to spill. Mei Ling sighed while she looked at Kenji. He had a a thoughtful look on his face and spoke to his daughter.

"What about this," he started while he looked back at Mei Ling, who had a questionable look on her face. He smiled sheepishly as he went on, "when you turn 12 years old, we'll get you a puppy."

Y/N took this to thought. If she's 9 right now, and she can get a puppy when she's 12......that's 3 years.

"3 whole years?! I have to wait that long?" she whined as she looked at her father.

"Well you do want a puppy, don't you?" her mother said with a small smile on her lips. Kenji let out a sigh of relief that his wife wasn't mad at him.

"I mean yea." she pouted.

"Then it's settled." Kenji said as he ruffled her hair with a smile on his face.

"Hey, it's still pretty early, why don't we head to the movies?" Kenji asked, grabbing the attention of his wife and daughter.

"Yesss, lets go watch that new movie with the kitten super hero!" she said with stars in her eyes as she hopped off the couch. Her parents agreed happily and soon they all got ready.

Time skip~ After Movie

After the movie they have dinner at their favorite restaurant down a few blocks from their apartment.

"That movie was soooo good!" Y/N exclaimed as she shoved her pizza into her mouth. Her parents let out small laughs agreeing with her.

"You want to be a hero when you're older, N/N?" Kenji asked as he bit into his burger.

"YEA! I want to save people who are in trouble, that's what heroes do right?" She asked knowingly.

"That's right, heroes save everyone who need help." Mei Ling answered as she brushed a few crumbs off her daughter's cheek.

Y/N smiled, she always thought heroes were amazing. Especially All Might, who saves everyone! When shes older, she wants to save people too. Like her parents when they go to work. She could't help but smile as she continued to eat and talk with her parents.

"Well it's getting pretty late already, we should head home now." Mei Ling stated as she looked out the window to see the sun had set already.

"Alright then let's go. Hey N/N wanna play Uno when we get back home?" Kenji asked his daughter, her eyes shot open as she agreed saying she won't lose like last time. He chuckled as he paid for their tab and they left the restaurant.

The family laughed and joked as they walked down the street to their apartment. Talking about what they would name their puppy and whether it would be a boy or girl. Smiles never leaving their faces.

"Hey you!" a man in a mask yelled as he grabbed Mei Ling by her arm and brought a gun to her head. Kenji put Y/N behind him out of instinct while he faced his wife and attacker. A scared look on his face. Everything going too fast.

"H-hey calm down, let her go. I'm a police officer, p-please drop the weapon and put your hands up." he said shakily. Shocked by this situation, and not knowing what to do as he saw the look of pure fear on his wife's face.

You could tell the man wasn't well, he had a crazed look in his eyes and was sweating profusely while the gun in his hand shook violently. "Shut up! Say one more word and I'll kill her!" he yelled as he pressed the gun harder to her head. Mei Ling cried as she looked at her husband and daughter, all the memories of them crossing through her mind all at once."Run Kenji! GO! Take Y/N please!" she cried as she looked at her husband's face with tears streaming down. Kenji was frozen in fear seeing his wife struggle in front of him while he had his 9 year old daughter behind him.

"MEI LI-"

Y/N POV

It all happened so fast.

First I was walking and having fun with my parents and now...

I see the blood splatter as a loud bang goes off. Then everything became muffled as my ears started to ring loudly.

I'm confused. Why is there so much blood? Why can't I hear?

I look at my dad and I think he's screaming, I still can't hear. I look at the ground in front of him. I don't know what's happening.

Why is this happening? Where are the heroes? Why aren't they here like they're supposed to be?

I see mom on the ground. Blood was going down her face as it pooled next to her. Her eyes are open, but there there's something wrong with them. They didn't have the look they normally had. They seemed dull. Empty.

Why does she look like that? Why is there so much blood? Why isn't she getting up? She hates being on the ground, she says it's dirty.

I can start to hear again, but barely. Where's daddy?

I look to see him fighting with a guy. They were both struggling to get the gun from each other. Daddy was crying so much.

Why is he crying? The heroes will be here soon. We'll be fine as long as they get here, they'll help mommy feel better too. Maybe they're running late? Everything is going to be okay.

"Daddy! Don't worry the heroes will save-"

Another loud bang.

I feel like my ears are bleeding. What's going on? Why does that noise keep going off? I look for my dad but, something's wrong with him. He's on the floor. I can see blood coming from his chest. His eyes look like mommy's.

What are they doing? Why aren't they getting up? Why aren't any heroes coming? Where did that other man go? Why did he hurt mommy and daddy?

I crawled to my parents, their blood staining my clothes.

"Hey Mommy, get up" I whispered as I felt the tears running down my face. A feeling started to build up in my chest. It hurt. I can't breath. I don't like it.

"Daddy? When are you going to get up? We have to go home so we can play Uno remember?" I said while my voiced cracked as I tried to wake him up.

A part of me knew they weren't getting up. A part of me knew we won't be going home together to play Uno. The feeling in my chest was becoming unbearable. I was scared. I was alone. And I felt that my heart was going to rip in two.

Why? Where are the heroes? They were supposed to save them. That's what they do. Why didn't they save them? Why?

The same questions raced through my head like a painful song. Never ending. I snuggled between them and closed my eyes. Hoping that when I open them, I'll be back at home playing Uno with them.

No One's POV

"Shit, where did he go?" a man asked himself as he ran down an alley. He was ordered to catch a guy who stole some experimental drugs from his boss. If he injected that into him, his brain must be fried by now.

He kept looking for him until he came across a sight he wished he didn't. He saw a little girl sniffling while squeezing her eyes shut. She was in between what he could only guess were her parents. Both covered in blood with gunshots. They were long gone.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit" he cursed as he pulled out his phone. He frantically dialed a number and put the phone to his ear.

"Hey, the fucker killed two people already, and left a little girl here. What the hell do I do now?" he asked hurriedly while looking at the girl who kept desperately tugging at her parents clothes. He didn't care that she lost her parents, he couldn't care less really. The problem was that they're were two dead bodies and a witness near his boss's hideout.

"Is it near?" a voice asked on the other end of the phone.

"Yea, in the alley." he answered.

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Boss says to shoot her. We're leaving in the morning."

"Copy that." he didn't hang up the phone until he completed his task. He got the gun from his hip and pointed it at the girl. She finally opened her eyes and looked at the man. A broken look on her face.

"What are you doing? Are you going to help them?" she asked with a cracked voice, tears streaming freely down her face.

"They're dead. They can't be helped." he says coldly as he presses the trigger.

His words stabbed her like a knife to her heart. She knew that, but she didn't want to believe it. She saw as he pointed the gun at her and another loud band was heard.

She didn't flinch. She didn't scream or get scared. The worst thing had happened already. She lost the two people that gave her life meaning. But she didn't want to die yet. She still needs answers.

The bullet stopped right as it came into contact with the skin on her forehead. The man stood there shocked, not thinking a girl her age had such control over her quirk.

"Why did you do that? That's not fair." she asked, her voice void of emotion. She got the bullet and crushed it, throwing it to the side. She looked back at her parents, trying for the final time to wake them up. Still hoping this is just a bad dream.

"What's happening?" the voice from the phone called out. "We're looking at the cameras, how did she stop the bullet?"

"How the hell am I supposed to fucking know, she just crushed it like it was paper." he said annoyed, not knowing what she would do next.

"Kill her now, we don't have time for this. Shoot her or beat her up, just kill her fucks sake." the voice answered back with venom as he hung up.

"Yea yea whatever asshole" he rolled his eyes as he started toward the girl, she didn't seem aware of what was happening around her anymore. He pulled out a knife-

"Hold on." a voice of an older man said from behind. The younger man's head whipped behind him in shock as he saw his boss walking to them. The older man didn't say anything as he walked by him.

He knelt in front of the girl. She still hadn't noticed what was going on, the pain being too much for her to think properly.

"Are these your parents?" he asked looking at her. She slowly nodded.

"There is no point in trying to wake them up. They're dead. They won't wake up."

Another wave of pain and confusion hit her. Why were her parents dead again? They weren't supposed to die. The heroes were supposed to come and save them.

"Why didn't any heroes come and save them?" she whispered, as she slowly looked at the man before her. Begging for an answer.

"They had better things to do. They didn't have the time to come all the way here just to save your parents."

She looked at him in shock. Not at all expecting that answer. The information still processing through her head. She tried to say something but no words seemed to come out.

"The heroes don't care about you. They never did. They didn't care about your parents or they would be alive right now."

Her eyes were so wide you'd think they'd fall out. Was all she knew about heroes a lie? Did they really not care about her or her parents? Was this the truth?

"You must be feeling confused and hurt, if you come with me I promise I'll always save you." he said as he reached his hand out to her smaller one. She looked at him with the slightest bit of hope in her eyes. She wanted to be saved. That's all she wants. She took his hand and he led her down the alley. Giving one last look to her parents. Whispering her last I love yous.

"Promise?" she asked, voice barely audible as she kept her head hung low.

"I promise."

But he had no intention of keeping any promises. All he saw was an opportunity. That's all she was to him. She was going to be his weapon.
