The mild sting finally dulled out to a mere buzz as the chip in my arm tried to be my punishment. I figured out what they put in me. A simplistic but a pain-in-the-ass microchip. The chip could track my location and when I disobeyed orders it would send a painful shock through my system. It also had a feature to dampen my quirk when I got too out of control. Shigaraki has spent the last twenty minutes pressing a button on his little remote to the chip. I could feel the electric shock go through my system, but unlike all the other times it made me buckle to my knees, I didn't react. Oh, I could feel it and the pain it tried to cause, but I learned to embrace it and power through it. "What, is your little zapper not making me give into your every command?" I questioned with a smirk splayed on my face. His head snapped towards me as he tried to press all the buttons on the remote. His level of panic was evident on his face as he realized the chip was not working whatsoever. "If it weren't for your shitty quirk, I'd have disintegrated you already." he dropped the remote to the floor as he started to stress scratch at his neck. "Why? Why isn't it working?!" His anger started to spike as he started trying to attack me. I backed up and dodged his attacks. He started to slow down as he realized that I could decide to kill him at any moment and he couldn't do a damn thing to stop me. He stopped completely and started to back away.

I stood about ten feet away from him. I had a small pocket knife and was twirling it between my fingers. Shigaraki warily watched as I spun it around my fingers. "Y'know, I've made up my mind." I broke the silence. I stopped twirling the knife and held it firmly. Shigaraki got ready to run but stopped as soon as I pointed the knife at myself. I stabbed it into the flesh of my arm and snatched it quickly down. I dropped the knife to the floor and used my opposite hand to dig around for the chip. Once I felt the hard pea-sized chip I immediately ripped it out and held it between my fingers. My eyes didn't leave his as he watched my entire ordeal. Something between horror and disgust was how his face looked. I grinned and tossed the chip at him. "You can have your chip back." Shigaraki flinched back as the chip hit his face. I turned away from him and started to walk away. His "Master" has been locked up in Tartarus for about a month, and that was around the time the chip had started to fizzle out. I wasn't anyone's puppet anymore. "Stop!" I perked my head up and turned back to him. "Master will come for you when he gets out. I swear by it. And when he does, I will make your life a living hell." I scoffed and darted towards him. He fell back onto his ass from my sudden closeness. "If you want to ensure Hell upon me, you better learn how to best your own master. Considering he gave me a quirk very similar to his own, you won't be able to lay a finger on me ever again." My threat didn't go unnoticed as he practically squirmed in his spot. I stomped down hard onto his family jewels and let out a laugh at his pain-filled cries.

The slash I had made in my arm had long healed by the time I made it into Esuha city. But my body was still half-covered in my own blood. I could hear the sirens from police cars and ambulances as I trudged my way through the city. After a few miles of me ignoring them altogether, the police finally forced me to a stop at gunpoint. I held my bloodied hands up and dropped to my knees while they apprehended me. I let them check me over for any injuries and handcuff my hands behind my back. The ride from where I was apprehended, to the station wasn't long. It wasn't longer than ten minutes at most. Going into the booking area was hilarious, seeing the terrified looks from other detainees and other officers. They ushered me into my own cell and gestured to the phone by the wall after taking off the cuffs. I couldn't remember what the Agency's phone number was, so I turned back to the officers. "If you could, would you contact Fatgum's Hero Agency and get him on the line. Tell him he must get to this precinct." I watched their wary faces as they shared a look and nodded. They scurried off and I found myself somewhere to sit.

"-Why did you call me here? What's the situation?" The familiar bubbly voice I knew echoed into my room. "There's a girl here, she said you must come here. We don't know her reasons." Fatgum sighed and asked for the cell number. I stood up and folded my arms as he came into view. His jaw went slack as his eyes laid themselves upon me. "It's a long time comin' Fatgum." He snapped his mouth shut and quickly ordered the officers to release me. "H-How are you here? We've been looking everywhere for you and kept coming up empty!" His eyes teared up as he started to blubber. I sighed and stepped back through the cell door. "I've somehow awakened my mother's quirk. And somehow the League succeeded in gifting me quirks." I knew the look on my face and my words were devastating to him. "W-what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?!" He started to panic as he completely looked me over. "It's my own blood. They chipped me so I ripped it out." He let out a choked back sob and he grabbed me up and clutched me to his chest. "I'm so sorry! I'm so, so sorry! I broke my promise! A-And you'll never trust me again, I know it!" His arms constricted around me and I started being suffocated. "F-Fat- Fatgum! I can't breathe!" I choked out. He immediately dropped me and dropped to his knees in front of me. "I missed you so much, I felt like such a failure as a hero and your protector when they took you." I stood silently listening to him cry. Really I should be the one having a complete mental breakdown right about now.

The Heroes who followed my case specifically sat around a table in Fatgum's agency while I stood front and center. "They didn't expose me to all their secrets, but I did find out one thing. The reason they targeted me is that Dabi chose me. And they needed someone quirkless who could be used as a specimen to forcefully put quirks into." Several of the pro-Heroes were shocked at the very least. Shoto stood beside me, even if we hadn't spent much time around each other, he still wanted to protect me. "Why did Dabi choose you specifically?" I let out a sigh before holding my head up. "The villain known as Dabi is the eldest son of Endeavor. Touya Todoroki." I announced. Endeavor's head perks up with a deep scowl. Others looked completely shell-shocked and were staring at the current Number One Hero. "It can't be true that Dabi is Touya. Touya died a long time ago." Shoto stated, his brow was furrowed and he looked a bit taken back. I pulled out a picture of Dabi and one of Touya. I set them on the table under the projector. I made the pictures show up on the wall. Someone gave me a laser pointer and I cleared my throat.

"Alright, hear me out. I believe that Dabi is Touya because A- Touya had flames of blue fire that were so hot they felt cold. Dabi exhibits the same quirk. B- If you take a closer look at the picture of 'Dabi' You can see his hair roots are red whereas the rest of his hair is black. Touya has bright red hair. So that means if Dabi is Touya, then Touya has been dying his hair. C- Touya had to keep getting medical attention due to his quirk burning him during his training sessions with his father. Dabi has burn scars all over his body from what you can see in this picture. D- If you take a close look at their eyes, both men in the pictures have the same electric blue eyes. And if you take a glance at your lovely number One Hero, his eyes match as well." I concluded. Several people looked convinced, but most of them kept glancing between me and Endeavor. "There's no hard evidence to show that Dabi is Touya, so this information will be disregarded." I narrowed my eyes and let a smirk play out on my face. I turned back to Endeavor and started making strides up to him. "Consent to a DNA test then. I managed to snag a little bit of blood from Dabi. We can prove who is right then. Ball's in your court now, Enji." I sneered. I am going to drag this sack of shit down to my level if not lower if he chooses to abandon Touya as well. He let out a scoff and looked around the room.

"Fine. If it will appease your little charade, I consent to a DNA test."
