A/N: I have decided that the little Valentine Special did in fact happen in the main story ;) Also some triggering themes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The atmosphere went into tense awkwardness. You were half tempted to leave and, try this again another day but, Lisvette and Michael were blocking your only exit. Then again, you could just jump out the window.

"Is Eraserhead really your boyfriend?" Out of all things that can be said you were not expecting that question. It forced a surprised chuckle out of you.

"No, he's not." You were very much single to your dismay. At least you had three children. They both just nodded shuffling back and forth on their feet before racing to their rooms and slamming the door shut. Now, it was less awkward but still very tense. You still hadn't gotten a chance to even talk properly to Michelle and Himanaru. Now here you were facing all your siblings whom you haven't seen in 5 years. Nice. Great. As if this shit couldn't get any more awkward.

"What made them ask you that?" You turned to Michelle who was twiddling her fingers nervously.

"Well, when Izumaru was venting to my number he said they went to Shiketsu Academy so I made up a lie with Eraserhead's help to visit the school when really I just....wanted to see them." It sounded stalkerish but, you had good intentions. You did just want to see them. You weren't mentally prepared to talk to them but, now you sort of have no choice.

"You had good intentions then," Himanaru said and you noticed they all backed up a bit from you. You must have looked like a skittish rat or caged animal. You felt like one a bit.

"You know you can leave if you want. We won't force you, we just forgot everyone was going to be here and- well, uh, you don't have to, uh, stay..." Izumaru sounded disappointed but, understanding at the same time. He's right none of this was planned. You wanted to talk to them in increments but, if this was your luck and fate so be it.

"It's fine. I'll stay." It was short and clipped but, it conveyed the message you wanted. They all nodded taking seats as you decided to sit on the table closest to the door. You wanted a quick exit just in case you got too overwhelmed. You sat there listening to your siblings converse lowly amongst each other asking you your opinion here and there until Michael and Lisvette came out and sat where you were previously occupied. You took a minute to look at all them and notice how much they've grown. Michael had a scar on his cheek but, no other blemishes. Comes with hero training you guessed.

"Are you hungry?" It was Michael who asked and before you can say yes or no he already got up to grab snacks from the kitchen. He was as nervous as you felt. To be fair if someone warned you, you'll be in your siblings house with all of them you would have stayed your ass home. "Here." He handed you pita chips with hummus. At least they had good taste. It was awkward silence again no one willing to say anything. Great you got to be the ice breaker again.

"What are you guys doing at Shiketsu? Do you like the teachers? How's the heroics department? Any internships yet?" It was a word vomit but damn you for trying. You wanted to meet them again so you had to put in effort. Michael took the bait and started talking a mile a minute his voice cracking a bit but you still hanged on to every word you said. Lisvette hadn't said a word to you but, she kept glaring at you. You ignored her. You knew she would have problems with you. It's always got to be one. She was the most spoiled by the incubator so the bitch probably brainwashed her and filled her head with lies. You'll admit it was annoying how she didn't say a word but stared as if just your presence offended you.

"What are you even doing here?" Ah she finally spoke. Everyone went quiet and stared at Lisvette who was glaring at you. She looked the most like the incubator so you had a bitterness build up a little but, you squashed it. Just because she looked like her doesn't mean she is her.

"Our siblings wanted me here. Ask them why they invited me." She stood quiet but, was still glaring at you. You chose to ignore her for now not wanting to rage and take it out on her. You took 5 years of anger management along with therapy for a reason.

"Anyways, um, I have some drawings I want to show you..." Himanaru felt awkward and wanted to break the tension so he went to his room to get his art-book and supplies. You waited patiently listening to Izumaru and the twins talk as Himanaru came back with his stuff and went to stand right next to you explaining his drawings and art supplies. He got really happy when you showed him your own drawings before he shrieked with happiness "Oh my God! You really are Lizard Queen! I've been watching your channel and reading your comics all this time..." He shrunk into his self a bit before all of you turned at a loud scoff. Great, what she got to say this time. She makes Ms. Joke look tame. Brat.

"We should have left it at that. She didn't want to see us for 5 years then why should we. I mean come on." She stood up stomping her feet proving to you that she is in fact a brat. "How all of you are okay with this? All of a sudden she leaves at 18 and doesn't bother trying to find us? Check up on us one time? Now because we are doing much better- no thanks to her- she wants to see how we doing? Give me a break, she is beneath-" A loud smack resounded through the apartment as all of you sat in stunned silence. Michelle had gotten up and slapped the shit out of her.

"Sit your ass down." She was crying watching Lisvette sit holding her swollen side of her face. "How dare you. Did you forget the shit that was done to her? Did you forget that she would protect us from that bitch and the fucking uncle? DID YOU FORGET THAT SHE WAS CHAINED UP IN THE BASEMENT FOR YEARS ONLY TO BE LET DOWN FOR AN HOUR A DAY SO SHE DOESN'T NEED HER LIMBS CUT OFF! DID YOU FORGET HOW WE HAD TO SNEAK IN THE WINDOWS JUST TO FEED HER AND GIVE HER WATER BECAUSE THE BITCH WOULD NOT DO IT! SHE STAYED IN THAT BASEMENT STARVING WHEN SHE TOOK US ON TRIPS, BOUGHT US GIFTS, MADE SURE WE WERE HEALTHY AND STAYED IN SCHOOL!" Michelle was breathing heavy losing slight control of her quirk but, no one dared say anything. You were frozen staring at the wall having flashbacks. This was not what you wanted.

"Michelle-" Himanaru tried stopping her but she was on a rampage

"THE BITCH NEVER EVEN HAD PICTURES OF HER! SHE WAS NOT ENROLLED IN SCHOOL! SHE WAS NEVER TAKEN TO DOCTORS FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT! NOTHING! THE BITCH USED TO TELL PEOPLE SHE ONLY HAD FIVE CHILDREN! FIVE! NO ONE EVEN KNEW Y/N EXISTED! SHE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH SHIT TO PROTECT US! US! WHAT DID WE EVER DO FOR HER?!" Michelle was on the verge of having a mental break down and a panic attack. You weren't fairing too much better yourself.

"I think that's enough-" Michelle wasn't done yet

"SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE! SHE WAS LOSING IT! SHE WASN'T MENTALLY STABLE! SHE NEEDED HELP, HELP THAT NONE OF US EVEN TRIED TO GIVE HER! EVEN WHEN SHE WAS TREATED LESS THAN DIRT SHE ALWAYS TOOK THE BRUNT OF IT! WHEN THE INCUBATOR WAS MAD AT US SHE WILL DO SOMETHING SO THAT SHE WILL TAKE ALL HER ANGER OUT ON HER! SHE DID THE MOST FOR US WHEN WE DID NOTHING!" Michelle finally broke down crying in a heap. No one moved. Lisvette sat there staring into nothing tears coming to her eyes.

"Y/N-" You turned sharply at Michael who flinched back. You didn't mean to do that, it wasn't his fault. None of this was really anyone's fault. They were just children themselves, they couldn't do much against their mother. She treated them like they were her everything and did shit to you, her first born. You never understood why she did the things she did to you and only you. You weren't mad at them per say. Were you upset at Lisvette? Very much, you didn't want to look at her or address her. The rest of them were trying and right now you had a little sister to comfort. You got up slowly walking silently over to Michelle who was still curled up in a ball on the floor. You sat down slowly next to her urging her to sit up. As soon as she saw it was you she latched onto you wrapping her body around you.

"I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! I'M A HORRIBLE SISTER! HORRIBLE! I DON'T DESERVE YOU! NONE OF US DO!" You got comfortable on the floor and held her while she wailed. You couldn't be mad at her. You wouldn't. You rocked her gently back and forth not minding the snot and tears getting all over you. Soon enough Himanaru, Michael and Izumaru created a giant cuddle pile on the ground. Lisvette didn't join but, she did the smart thing and left to sit in her room. The five of you were crushed together and you didn't mind. It actually helped you from spiraling out of control. When all of that was said you remembered how much you actually hated the incubator. You remembered not only did you have to get out of that extremely abusive and toxic household you had nothing to worry about. You were the one she hated, you were the reason why she was so explosive and hateful. You knew she purposely would hurt your siblings or try to knowing you would take the bait and she can hurt you- the one she really wanted to hurt.

"I had to leave." They were silent but listening "I had nothing to worry about. I'm the one she hated, she didn't hate any of you. She loved you guys the way a mother is supposed to love their children. The only reason she would hurt you or try to was because she knew I would jump in and turn her anger onto me. The same with the rapist. He would threaten to touch you guys when in reality he wasn't but, I didn't know that. He wanted me to willingly say he could do what he wanted to me and my body as long as he didn't touch you guys. That is why when I turned 18 I had to leave." You shook your head as you thought about what you said "I was going to kill her but I guess you guys still needed a mother. I was also scared of hurting you guys, I was very unstable." They hummed in agreement holding onto you even tighter

"....You got help though right?" You nodded your head

"Five years of therapy and anger management. To be honest I need more now that I think about it. I'm not as okay as I thought I was." You said nothing else and neither did they. All of you stood in a weird cuddle pile, ball for who knows how long. You decided it was long enough when all your limbs fell asleep. You shifted a bit holding onto Michelle who had fallen asleep against your chest. "I'm surprised you guys don't feel like Lisvette." That was a little insecurity of yours

"....At first we did...It was strange not having our big sister there but when you left we realized that she seemed happier." Ouch. "The bitch was actually happy that you weren't there. The only one who was upset was the bastard who was upset his toy had left him." He gagged at the thought of it "She really didn't treat us bad....she really didn't..." Izumaru shook his head pulling at his hair "It wasn't right, this isn't right. She was so wrong." He growled letting go of his hair. "When I found out that you had in fact been sending us letter trying to get in contact with us but she hid them in the basement knowing we did not want to go down there that's when I flipped. As soon as I turned 18, I stole half her money and bought us this apartment. I adopted all of our siblings as well and we have been here for two years." You nodded your head moving Michelle gently as you stood up

"Where is her room?" Himanaru pointed down the hall on the left and you walked slowly there. Michelle had cuddled into your neck comfortably as you opened her room. You didn't want to look around her room, you rather do that when she's awake. On the nightstand though you noticed she had a picture of all of you. Even you. It was an old picture and it was of you and your dad.

"We should make new memories..." You turned to Michelle who had her eye cracked open, she was the only one who had the same exact eyes as you. The same amber, gold color courtesy of your quirks. You smoothed back her tri-colored hair and pulled the sheets over her body.

"One day, we can." You smoother he hair one more time getting up and closing her bedroom door softly. You knew she wasn't really going to sleep but, she needed time to herself. You walked back passing by Lisvette room who's door was open. You didn't bother to look inside despite feeling her eyes on you the whole time. You didn't feel like staying any longer than you needed to. This stay had drained you too much and if you stayed any longer you might spiral for real. You walked straight for the door but stopped, turning to the other occupants of the room. "Maybe...in the future when our relationship is better you can meet your niece and nephews." Before any of them can comment you opened the door and closed it softly behind you. No need to break it. You quickly pulled out your phone sending a text to whoever in your messages. You didn't even bother to see who it was but you checked to see if they said yes or no. When you saw the yes you pocketed the phone since it was only 1:30 and your children won't be home until the evening. Once outside you saw a familiar face

"Y/N?" You simply shook your head at them

"I need vodka."

What are your guys thoughts? Can your relationship with your siblings be mended? What about Lisvette? Who's taking you out to get drinks? Who's going to meet you at the bar later on? Who did you bump into now? How would your children react to meeting your siblings?
