[Y/N]'s Point of View |

As I was slowly looking around the classroom, the windows, but also the students. They were all so unique in their way.

Hawks turn to look at me. "Is there something wrong, [L/N]?" He asked curiously.

I turn my attention to look at him and smiled softly. "No. Everything is fine."

Hawks gave me an amusing look, "Are you sure? You can tell me anything if you want to talk about it."

I chuckled. "Promise me not to laugh?"

Hawks smirks. "Cross my heart!"

I sighed softly while looking up with a softly gaze. "I just didn't interesting how these students are going to make a difference. They are using their mind, heart, gift, and motives to fo something big."

I closed my eyes. "What these students are doing is incredibly brave of them. They'll be a step closer to peace, it might be a long way to go. But, they are risking it all."

I slowly opened my eyes to see a stunned pro-hero. I smiled sheepishly. "I-I rambled, right?"

The dirty blond shook his head. "Nah, not much." Hawks replied. "But that is very inspirational! Are you a speech speaker?"

I shook my head while laughing. "Please, a speech speaker? I'm not inspirational."

Hawks opened his mouth. "Not inspirational? You must be deaf! What you said was amazing!"

I smiled softly. "I guess, thank you."

The winged pro-hero looked around and stared back at me. "I hope it's not too personal, but how long have you been in hostage?"

"For six years," I replied.

Hawks' eyes widen. "Wow, so you were thirteen years old when Kenichi kidnapped you?"

Hawks asked right away as I nodded. "Yeah.."

"Do you know or remember any family members? Maybe I can help you contact them, like parents or guardians?"

Parents? Like, a mother and father?

"Now thinking about. I don't know them, I just know that they died when I was very young." I mumbled as I looked away from his gaze.

"I'm so sorry," Hawks said respectfully as I shook my head.

"It's fine. I only had a guardian but I don't seem to remember them."

Hawks look away. "Hm. That's a shame."

His golden eyes were back at staring at me as I returned my gaze to him, as well.

"Where have you been staying?" He asked as I smiled softly.

"I've been staying with Toshinori," I replied as he hummed in response as he grins.

"That's real nice of him,"

Hawks kept staring at me as I looked at him confusingly. "Is there something you also want to ask me?"

The blonde grins, "Yep. What is your quirk?" Hawks asked as I sighed. "My quirk is rather complicated.."

Hawks grinned. "Great. I have all day."

I grinned back nervously. "Can I borrow the scarf you are wearing, right now?"

Hawks raised his eyebrow while smirking. "Are you trying to change the subject, miss?"

I shook my head softly, "No, I promise you."

Hawks slowly handed the scarf to me as it was a thickly layered scarf.

As I ripped the scarf slowly, a bracelet with a pink diamond hanging out. "This is a real diamond. It has been with me as I can remember."

Before Hawks can ask anything about the diamond, I began talking.

"Okay; my quirk is called Gem. I can shapeshift while using my body parts. I can change my appearance, like hair color, style, skin color, basically anything."

Hawks stares with an exciting smile. "That sounds amazing! Are you able to shapeshift right now?"

I hesitated but shook my head. "No," I lied. "I couldn't practice it. I can barely do this."

I showed him my fingers as they slowly turn to cats.

(uwu, sadie looks super cute)

"Oh wow!" Hawks said, in an amazed tone as he gently pets them.

I slowly formed them back to my regular fingers as he asked another question.

"But why is it called Gem? Why not shapeshifting?"

I looked at him with a soft smile. "I also can regenerate. My body can recover as it goes inside the gem."

Hawks' eyes widen. "Wow! So if you have an injury, you go inside the diamond?" I nodded.

"I go inside the diamond if it's in my range," I replied. "At first, it's confusing and scary since being in a gem is going inside a mysterious room."

"But it becomes your comfort room." Hawks blinks rapidly.

"How do you know how it feels? How many times—"

"Accidents happen." I replied coldly. "but sometimes I harm myself so I can get away from Kenichi."

"As I said, it's my comfort room."

Third Point of View |

"Good morning, everybody!" Toshinori said with a welcoming smile as he walked in. The positivity that he gave made everyone's day a bit cheerful.

"Good morning, All Might!" Replied Present Mic, with an energetic attitude.

All Might look around as he couldn't spot the person he was looking for. "Is Midnight here?"

Aizawa, who was just about to leave the teacher's lounge to go to class, replies to the ex-pro heroes question. "She got held up with a small robbery, but she's almost on her way."

The tall blonde smiles and nods, "Thank you."

Aizawa nodded back. "Welcome."

"All Might!" The blonde turns to see Cementoss walking into the teacher's lounge.

"Ah, yes?" Toshinori replied.

"Principal Nezu wants to speak with you," Cementoss said. "He said it's urgent."

Toshinori nods. "All right. I'll be on my way. Can you all tell Midnight that I have to talk to her, please?"

The teachers nod and agreed on telling Midnight the announcement when she arrived.

As the blonde slowly walks to his boss's office, he knocked on the door to here a soft, 'come in'.

Toshinori saw that the principal was looking through some files, and had a newspaper in his hands. "Ah! All Might! Please, come sit! Let's have some tea!"

The blonde nods and softly greets him, "Good morning." He then sat down with Nezu as he serves tea for them both of them.

"I wanted to ask, who is the woman you were with? She looks like the girl from last night's news."

All Might nods. "She is the girl from the news. I brought her here took around to see if she can find a job here or get recommended from somewhere else."

Nezu hands Toshinori his cup as he softly glares. "You should've told me before deciding to bring her here along," Nezu said in a annoyed tone.

"S-Sorry."

The principal sighs. "Where is she, actually?"

Toshinori looks down at his tea and sips. "She is with Hawks, right now."

"Oh?"

"[L/N] had met with Hawks before she was rescued. And I didn't want to interrupt their moment, so I asked Hawks to look after her."

____________

After the conversation with Nezu, Toshinori returned to the teacher's lounge.

As he walked in, he notices Midnight talking with Aizawa.

Midnight looked up and waved. "Hey, All Might! I've been told you've been searching for me!~" She said in a happy voice.

Toshinori smiles. "Hey. Sorry to bother you, but I have a favor to ask."

Midnight licks her lips. "Oh?~ What kind of favor?"

Toshinori smiles while replying. "Are you willing to go shopping with my friend, [L/N], this weekend?"
