Burn Into Memory

chapter one: who are you

Aphrodite sighs as she walked towards the building that’s she already hate with Hawks, she didn’t understand why he had convinced her to follow him to that fucker’s building. She held Astrid tighter. Afraid to let her be seen by the wandering eyes, she feels bad that she was letting him fall from grace, the two would always argue about it, how he wants to help her with her plans, how he’ll be a traitor to everyone who loves him. But he kept saying as long as she didn’t kill Endeavor he wouldn't be. So here they were, at the entrance of the building. She put her daughter down before walking in, but soon her daughter ran off, squealing happily as she ran towards someone. It took a long moment to realize just who it was she ran toward. Much to her horror it was the person who she faked her death for, to make sure she wouldn’t pull him down to her level.

Shoto was caught off guard when he felt his legs being attacked, he looked down before he got the eyes of the girl he alway have loved from the moment he could remember. Touya’s lost lover, his most beloved girl, Akira, he kneel down and cautiously reached out and touched her cheeks, turn her head around very gentle, he made sure to take in every detail, her lips looked like Akira’s, her ears was pierced with the very same earrings that Shoto had gotten custom made for Akira, her hair was different texture but still have the same color of Akira’s, then there were the eyes that snagged his heart the very moment he had met Akira, but there were a hint of green mixed in the purple and gold irises, he shot up and looked around quickly to see if he can find the girl he have been dreaming about all his life, especially after hearing the news about her death, he heard from Enji that her parents had said her and her daughter had perished in a fire, but if that was true how could he be holding onto the very girl that’s was a mini version of his love.

Aphrodite’s skin pale as she tried to hide herself from his view, she wanted to turn around and just fucking leave because she couldn’t be caught. Not when she has so much to do but she couldn’t, not without Astrid, so collecting herself, she glide through the building to be met with the sight of her daughter hugging on to the second person who had gain her heart, she took in a deep breath and blew it out before she spoke in her motherly soft gentle voice, hoping that would cause him to not realized who she was. “Astrid, baby girl, you know you shouldn’t run off, what would happen if you ran into someone that could hurt you?” She asked as she knelt down and very carefully she turned the girl around, ignoring Shoto’s confused and complex expression. He saw her walking up, she didn’t seem like Akira, her movements were more matured, her face had a nose piercing, a snake bite, eyebrow piercing, and her voice was so gentle and soft and her hair was a ombré of purple and gray, that there was no way that’s this could be the same girl, but then she flicked her eyes up and there were no mistaking them, the purple eyes with a speck of gold in her irises, he observed as the girl looked back down at the little girl. “Mommy! I found him! I found him!” The little girl screamed.

Mommy? There is no doubt this wasn’t Akira now, and his theory was confirmed when the girl laughed softly. “It seems as though you did find someone, baby girl, but he’s just a stranger, we don’t know them.” That stung, why was she acting as if she didn’t know him! Shoto was opening his mouth to speak when a deep voice came out. “Who is this, Shoto?” His father asked, seemingly making the girl freeze up before her face steel into something dark, her eyes darken into something dangerous. “I’m Aphrodite, this is my daughter Astrid, she just ran in here, I’m so sorry number two hero, but I’ll be out of your hair.” She spat before she turned around and briskly glided out of the sight. This wasn’t the Akira he knew, but for some reason his heart squeezed in delight to know she was alive but it aches knowing she faked her death, he felt anger in his veins because for whatever reason she did this it has to do with his father. His father had ruined the one good thing in his life. Now she was acting very cold, like a woman scorned by her lover. She even changed everything about her. Something wasn’t adding up, he was going to get to the bottom of it. He needs to know what had happened to his precious Akira.

Aphrodite walked towards Hawks with an anger that made him step to the side so he wasn’t in the line of fire, but that didn’t seem to work because she steered her burning eyes towards him with a heated glare. “Keigo Takami, why didn’t you tell me that fucking Shoto Todoroki was here?” Her voice is devoid of any emotions beside hatred. “I didn’t know he was going to come in today! I didn’t know he was working with his dad today, he usually working with Bakugo or Deku, if I had known I would have told you to just leave me with Astrid and go to spy on the league to see if they had an opening to get your hands on information that could help you little bird.” He said raising his hands up but she sneered at him and tightened her hold on Astrid. “Don’t fucking call me that! You should have done your research!” She hollered and stomped her foot, making Astrid tremble, which made her mood even more sour because she caused her daughter to get scared.

She took in a deep breath before she opened her mouth before looking around only to catch Shoto making his way over to her as if he was on a mission which made her curse under her breath and turn to Hawks, sneering at him again. “Come to my apartment after you’re done with that’s fucker because I can’t stand to be in the same building.” She said and quickly walked out of the building and down the street to her apartment, she stopped once she saw blue flames shooting up in the alleyway of her apartment, she squinted before setting Astrid down and knelt down in front of her.

“Astrid, sweetie, you remember how we were playing with your quirk and how you turned into mommy when mommy was younger?” She asked before her daughter nodded quickly and tilted her head. “Now I need you to turn yourself into mommy and walk into the alleyway until you see where the blue flames are coming from, okay? But make sure to stay on the walls.” She said before Astrid gave her a confused look. “I think mommy’s friend is there but he doesn’t know we’re here so we need to be careful and just watch.” She finished before Astrid nodded her head and transformed into her and walked into the alleyway.

Aphrodite was quick get in the shadows and stay closed to Astrid, she stopped once Astrid did, which was face to face with a blue fire wall, without thinking Astrid started to reach out, once she touched it she scream and yanked her hand away, but before Aphrodite could rush to take Astrid into hiding the wall disappeared before a horrid sight come into view. There was a scarred male with piercings on his nose, his hair was unruly and black but what caught her attention was those eyes, those of her dead lover but it couldn’t because he was dead.

Dabi was about to kill the witness when he saw a child version of Akira, he fell to his knees before gently holding out his hand, the child looked at him with a scared expression. “Hey, don’t be scared, I won’t hurt you, I just want to see your hand.” He said softly as the child held out her hand and he noticed burn marks there. He stood up as he leaned over to pick her up but something caught his attention, it was a purple flash and when he blinked he saw a woman, holding the child tightly to her chest with a sneer on her face. “Don’t you fucking touch her you fucking burnt ass marshmallow!” She screamed at him, but her eyes were something he couldn’t ignore, those were Akira's eyes, he grew angry because someone was trying to play him, to lower his guard, to make him weak, so with the thought of killing them he started to ignite flame but as if she could read his mind, her hand touch his neck, then he felt the overwhelming pressure in his chest and his dick harden, this only happened with Akira. Dabi was so confused, she moved fluidly and her quirk reminded him so much like Akira, what the hell is happening?! Who was this girl, she had her quirks and eyes but she was nothing like Akira, not even before she died. So this couldn’t have been Akira, it had to be his mind playing tricks on him and this person was just another person with a lust quirk and the little girl was another mind trick, because they are supposed to be dead! There was no way for them to survive such nasty fire and they even found bodies that looked exactly like Akira and Astrid.

While the unknown person was distracted she ran off and into her apartment before breathing out heavily. Once she got in the apartment she quickly locked all the doors and windows before looking out to see if she can see into the alleyway, she couldn’t and that made her even more anxious, she sets her daughter down before walking to get the first aid kit, she come back and grabbed her hand and begin to tend to her daughter’s burn marks. She pulled out her phone to see Hawks had texted her to be careful around the city because Shoto was looking for her, she cursed and leaned back before growling and rubbed her face angrily.

She begin to get ready for bed when she saw the blue flames again, she scrunched her face up before putting Astrid to bed before opening the window and stepped out on the fire escape before climbing up to the roof and jump from roof to roof until she got to where the fire were the biggest, she squinted when she saw the same man from earlier, she pinched her nose before she noticed there was other people with him, she recognized the one dressed in red and black. He was part of the league, so if the burnt marshmallow ass man was with him, he was part of it. She grinned mischievously as she jumped across the roof to get a better look, she tiptoed towards the edge and sat on it so she could watch the fight she just realized was going on. She let out a huff of laugh, she tangled her feet before jumping back when she saw the flames lit up the area, she glared at the male, but the voice hitting her made her squeezed her legs together because his voice went straight to her core, she cursed herself but shook it away when he begin to talk.

Something about how they needed more recruits, but everyone they had eyes on are too fucking weak, this made her smirk with a brilliant idea coming to her, she jumped back on the roof she had first saw them with, but what she didn’t noticed was the blue eyes following her and so he made his way up to the roof but was confused when he saw that she wasn’t there, but then he heard movement and looked to the next roof, she was jumping to roof to roof. He growled and followed after her, after a good few minutes he caught up with her and shot blue flames out towards her. What shocked him was that she quickly jumped away but his flames had licked at her pants, she looked down and quickly patted her leg down before growling and looking at the fire user, she got up and got into a fighting stance. He smirked and stalked toward her, his hand still holding the blue flames.

“You think you can take me on Doll face?” He asked with a mock tone, her purple eyes turn into slits before she smirks, her piercings stretch to match her smirk. “I know I can burn marshmallow ass, you might have powerful flames but it’s nothing I haven’t gone against.” She spat and that made him raise a brow before he shot another flame towards her and she jumped backwards before dashing around and behind him, she was reaching out to touch him like the last time, but he was expecting it this time and turn around grabbing her hand and turn her around and forced her against his chest. “You gotta do better than that Cupid.” He purr in her ear causing her to shiver but growled and stomp on his foot making him push her away and try once against to shoot another wave of flames at her, she quickly moved around before she noticed the opening underneath him, she ran into the flames ignoring the burning and slide under him before standing up quickly and placed both hands on his face and activated her quirk which made him once again feel a hard hit to his gut with a feeling he knew too well, love and lust, it travel all through his veins before pooling in his gut spreading down to his cock, she smirk and stepped aside as she dashed around him and jumped on to the roof that’s leads to her apartment. But she turned around, she looked at him and waved innocently before teasing him further. “My name isn’t Cupid, it’s Aphrodite, get used to it burnt marshmallows.” She sing-song and quickly dropped to the fire escape and quickly slipped into the apartment.

She quickly lock the window and pull the curtains, she walked into her room and got under the bed before she grabbed her phone to see the hawks was trying to warn her about a villain call Dabi which she had looked up to see it was burnt marshmallow, she laughs to herself, she had just fought a highly wanted villain only to make him lose, she shook her head before pulling up hawks phone number and tell him she fought him and it was easy to take him down but she’ll need him to come get Astrid for the weekend so she can search for the hideout that the league was staying at.

Once Dabi could think, he cursed loudly that she had once again got a hold of him and that she knew how to fight against him, she even ran into the fire to get under him and use her quirk, he needed to know more about this Aphrodite girl, so once getting to the base he asked Shigaraki to research her for him, there had to be a weakness to her, especially now that he knew that she was at least real, but he couldn’t shake the feeling she was a loose end to his past, with her eyes holding the girl who he had lost in a house fire, the girl who had always making him feel like he was missing home. But if she was the girl who he dreams about every night since the night he lost her, why was she fighting against him, why was her voice so cold, devoid of the gentle tone and the motherly tone? If she was her why was she back and didn’t try to track him down when she got back? There was something of a foot here and as much as he wanted answers he couldn’t afford to lose track of his plan to traumatize his family. He needed to make his father pay for what he did to Akira and him, then if he survived he could go looking for this Aphrodite person to get answers.

It’s been two days after the fight when she finally found the burnt marshmallow ass villain again, she had a hood up and a mask on, she put on sunglasses before she stayed in the shadows as she followed him until she found him in front of the one hero she didn’t want to see right away, Endeavor, but she kept to the shadows when she found that it very funny that hero is struggling against the villain before she saw him gain a upper hand on the villain who names was Dabi, she quickly dashed out and swift kicked him right in gut when he was busy with Dabi who had a smirk against his staples lips, he watch as the unknown girl grabbed Endeavor’s arm before twisting it, she let out a manic laugh and pushed him towards the villain, but the villain saw how his eyes were blown, he once again got the feeling he somehow he knew her, which made him freeze again was when the girl lean down and say in the hero’s ear. The whispered words got his blood boiling and his heart aching.

“Akira says hello and that she’ll see you very soon Enji Todoroki, she will make you pay for what you did to your precious little Touya Todoroki.” She whispered and shoved her foot against his back so harshly the hero coughed and she quickly dashed away so she could hide her anger flooding through her body. What she did not realize was that Dabi was now glaring at her back as it disappeared. She knew something about Akira and now he truly needs to find her identity and force her to give him everything that she knew.

It had been a few days since Dabi had seen the girl, he had been sticking to the same street he had encountered Endeavor on, in hope to get a glance of the girl. He was losing hope that he’ll see her until a familiar laugh rings through his ears, then he sees the glimpse of blonde hair running through the street with a doll of something that reminds him of something Akira would hold, he steps closer to the sound, feeling his heart swell with hurt and hope. Hope that’s maybe just maybe the little girl will lead him to where he can find the girl’s mom. He almost didn’t hear the voice as he solely focused on the girl who reminds him so much of the mother. “Astrid stop running please, you know mommy is hurting today.” The voice laughs, and it sounds like music to his ears. The girl stopped and looked behind her, then the figure he needed to see steps beside her, a smile that resembled so much of the girl he had lost. He fought the urge to step into the opening to catch her off guard and demand to know why she had Akira’s daughter. But her eyes were so soft and she grabbed the little girl’s hand before pulling her toward the little flower shop. His feet moved on their own as he followed, his mind began to run wild with thoughts.

Could this truly be Akira? Could it be the girl who was supposed to be dead? He saw the flames, heard the scream, heard the news, he grieved so much that it made his blood boil to think that Akira was alive and that she was here, to think she pulled this on him, to hurt him in more ways than one. Though he can’t let it seep into his bones as he thought over what he had done as well. But he can’t help the anger because if this was her, she had turn down the same path as him, he saw it the day she had taken down Endeavor, he remembers the words so clearly, he could taste the words on his taste buds, if this was Akira something truly bad had happened to her to make her turn away from the soul he knew that she once held. He almost growled and charged towards them when the little girl screamed out happily being picked up. “Mommy! Can we get the blue ones for Touya?” She asked and the older girl seemed to freeze on the spot, something the way her body stopped moving hearing his given name made him on edge. “No, he’s dead, remember little one? So is Akira so please stop asking.” She said and again he felt the need to reveal himself and demand answers but then he saw feathers floating to the pair and he knew that all too well so he simply backed up into the shadows.

It was a few days after walking freely out the town, Aphrodite was told about how Endeavor was feeling angry at the fact he was treated by some civilians. She snickered and walked towards the alleyway to her apartment when she saw a blonde chick standing by it, she arched a brow and she grabbed a cigarette and lit it up before she walked by her, she could tell this girl was up to something, she leans against the opposite wall before she caught a thought that made her chuckled. Apparently Dabi was aggravated by Aphrodite, she blew out a smoke ring and closed her eyes as she listened to her inner words about this Dabi person. She shook her head before pushing off of the wall and walked towards the apartment but stopped when she heard a voice behind her, she turned around to spot the same girl. “Uh, hi?” She asked as the girl giggled. “Hi! You must be the mysterious girl that keeps beating Dabi, I’m Toga, I’m here to recruit you for the league of villains.” She said and Aphrodite couldn’t stop the smirk filling out her lips, she tilted her head and arched a brow. “Oh? Just like that?” She asked, making Toga grin. “Yes, the boss man likes the way you whip Dabi and leaves him angry.” The thought of him with his tail between his legs made pride swell up in her chest. “Alright, why don’t we meet up later tonight? Just in case some heroes are out and about?” She asked and Toga nodded before jogging away and she smirked as she climbed the stairs and into her apartment, she grabbed her phone to dial Keigo about the best news she ever had, today is going to be perfect. There was no way to make her lose her spirit, she looked at Astrid and chuckled softly. “You’re going to spend time with Uncle Hawks for a while.” And the little girl squeals and jumps up and down.

What she didn’t know, there was a wave of angst coming at her hard and fast.
