Memories

Rika-Theodora Flint

Everything passed as a blur. I knew I got seen by a doctor, I knew I had picked out new glasses. What I didn't know, is how I was feeling. I was covered in a wave of complete submission. My body was full of fog and my head spun with every twist of the car.

We reached Bakugou's home and I was tossed in my room, Elise claimed I was being over dramatic. Neither knew of the magazine, for I had taken it to the bathroom and destroyed it. I was unsure if Bakugou knew of my problem. I had no idea if Elise told him about the restaurant, about my mother.

I laid on my floor, a thing that had become a habit of mine. I placed my feet on either side of the window, looking at the sky through it. It wasn't long until that numbing feeling melting and was replaced with this suffering feeling.

The feeling of complete and utter guilt.

It wrapped around me like a snake, slowly taking my life and my dull cries turned into sobs and a small explosion coming from the carpet in front of me.

That's when it all made since.

I had forgotten my power, my ability. I had never used it much, even when Sophia Flint was alive. It was a fact that I had a explosion power, nearly the same as Bakugou.

She had died and it was my fault. All those people had died because my quirk acted up and I had costed all the those people their lives, their family was suffering in grief all because a little girl could control her quirk; I'm just like a toddler.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to beat everything around me. But when I opened my mouth, nothing but a uncontrollable cry escaped my clutches. She was gone, they all were gone and I had no clue how to get them back.

I was kneeling on the floor now, cries and apologies fell from my lips like a prayer. My hands gripped at the sweater I wore, my mom's sweater. My head felt light and my eyes couldn't stop burning. My whole body shook from the realization, it was all my fault. All my terrible fault.

I didn't notice that the door opened. I didn't notice Elise staring down at me. I only noticed her when she lifted my chin up and starred unforgivingly in my eyes.

I only was able to feel what happened. I fell to the floor, covering my stomach and my glasses ripped from my face. The red-haired woman scowled at me, balling my hair in her fist, she shook me. I couldn't hear her words, but I knew they were nothing short of condescending.

I heard screaming next, but not my own. A red blob fell to the floor, and a suited man held me in his arms. He placed my glasses on my nose, it was Rika. The poor man was nearly growling at the woman. This when he let go. He shouted and screamed at her in japanese, his anger and resentment rising to the surface.

The shouting of course got the attention of Bakugou and he came stomping up the stairs. He got my room and saw Elise, faking crying while holding a bloody nose, me huddled in Rika's arms so tight I was unsure if he knew I was crying. Lastly, Rika whow as screaming bloody murder at the red haired woman.

"What the fuck?!" Bakugou shouted.
"Katsuki!" Elise shouted. "You're worker attacked me!" she pleaded. "I was trying to comfort Theo when he came in and hit me!" she sobbed pitifully.

Rika screamed words like were so incoherent that I doubt that Bakugou even understood him. Without another thought, Rika picked me into his arms. Elise stood going to Bakugou and sobbing all over him. Rika left, not screaming anymore but fuming with rage. He got me into his personal car and we drove around parts of Tokyo.

I had stopped crying and was only hiccuping and panting. It was soothing. Rika didn't talk and I watched the city lights through the window, reading the signs to myself. I didn't know what possessed Rika to take charge and remove me from Elise and Bakugou, but I was thankful.

He is probably the only one I trust in this household.
