A Flowery Start

Most don't understand what it's like to be neglected by your mother, your only parental figure for your entire life, no matter what you do to get her attention. Watch her have children with so many different men and have to raise them properly and watch them almost die to training thanks to your mother. Feeling that sickening feeling in your stomach as you rushed to the toilet but not to puke, but to cough up petals, feeling flowers grow all over your skin as you feel the life drain from your body-

I shot up, panting as sweat dripped down my forehead, everything was dark and cold as I checked the time "5:30 A.M" I sighed, looking towards my closet "Alright….Guess sleep is no longer an option," I removed the covers off my body and got out of the bed, heading to my closet. Once I grabbed my casual clothes I went into my bathroom, closing the door behind me and looked in the mirror, feeling at the burn mark around my right eye, barely an inch above the two green stripes on my cheek. Looking into the mirror, seeing my lifeless eyes, my left one was a bright green which was the same color as the marks on my cheeks. While my right eye was more of a brown color due to being an effect from the burn, I took a small shower, brushed my long blonde hair that faded into a pink color, brushed my teeth then got dressed.

Once dressed I did a double check to make sure nothing was off, tugging at my magenta cloak slightly as I looked at my outfit underneath. I wore a white tank top, a pink long sleeved shoulder and neck less crop top above it, a brown belt to keep my dark green pants up and brown knee high boots. Looking at the right side of my head to check on my bun that was held up by roses, lilacs, and gardenia's. Once I finished my check I threw my hood on, hiding most of my face as I left my room.

I locked my bedroom door then walked down the corridor to the kitchen, saying good morning to any of the mafia members passing by me. Once I reached the kitchen I grabbed a cup, the blender, a few different fruit types, and milk. I placed some ice into the blender first before adding the other ingredients then blended it, once my smoothie was ready I poured some into the cup then took a sip, feeling satisfied with my breakfast. I walked into the dining room and sat down at one of the tables, waiting for my younger siblings to wake up. After an hour or so my younger brother Benjamin rushed into the kitchen, making himself some toast as he cursed at himself. "Are you alright Ben??" I asked once he ran into the dining room "Nope, I forgot to set an alarm and now I'll probably be late to class!!!!!!" He said fixing his tie poorly. I sighed and stood up from my seat, walking over to him and fixing his outfit properly. "I Still can't believe my little brother got into U.A. high school…." I said, happy for him for following his dreams of becoming a hero "Same here," He started "Even though I'll be the only eight teen year old in my class, I'm positive my quirk can help a lot of people!!"

I smiled softly, waving him off as he left in a rush, once the doors closed I sat back down and looked at my phone, mainly at the news. When another hour passed my other sibling, Glit walked into the room, yawning. "Hello Glit," I said once her eye landed on me. "Heya Livi~" she said, walking over to me as I looked over her outfit.

She wore her casual one, her brown hair short and shaggy as it had different colored stripes in it, making it seem like her hair was a mix matched rainbow as it covered the entire right side of her face. Her skin was a tan color as she had a fair amount of scars on her skin, her showing eye had the iris and pupil much smaller and most think, making it look like she was insane, the iris was a aqua green color. She wore a green crop top hoodie with an orange hood, grey arm sleeves that faded into magenta halfway through. Wearing a very short yellow skirt with purple but shorts underneath, red and blue knee high boots. She had a long thin tail that had a tuft of long fluffy hair at the end, the main color as her hair and a black, white, gray, and magenta stripe. Her ears pointed as she had an earring on her left ear.

With her body being the pear type, many men tried to get her into their beds, and I mean Many. Even Married men tried sleeping with her, Married men of all people!!!!!! She took a seat across from me and looked around "Sooo, I guess Benny went to school huh??" She asked me, playing with her tail. "Yes, I do hope he isn't late, I'm sure his home room teacher wouldn't like that" I said as she got curious "Who Is his homeroom teacher?????" she Asked, crossing her arms on the table. "It's a guy and Shota Aizawa, also known as eraser head," I said, taking a sip of my smoothie as she snorted "Welp, he is Fucked!" she giggled, her tail moving around slightly. Everything went silent for a moment before Glit spoke up "Have you talked with Mom in a while??" I tensed up a little, a tickling sensation in my throat as I coughed slightly, looking into my hand as gardenia petals were there.

I sighed, dropping them on the table "I did last night, she's honestly been getting worse after the twins got their quirks...Frinchuski is truly losing his mind isn't he??" I asked, looking at her as she looked away, her head hanging low as her grip tightened on the cloth of her hoodie. "I-" She started, pausing for a moment before looking me in the eyes " I have no Idea… I don't know how long it'll be until we got The call" I gulped slightly at the thought of it. Everything went silent again, though it was a comforting silence. Once I finished my drink I went into the kitchen and washed the cup, putting it up in order for it to dry then went straight to my room.

Once inside I closed my door and gave a low growl, that man… no… That Creature is destroying my mother's mental stability. After a moment of trying to compose myself I walked over to my drawer and opened it, pulling out a violin that my grandmother and a few of my mother's friends taught me to play. Once I was set up to play I began to play a calming tone, one that someone had taught me when I was younger during one of my panic attacks. Each pluck of the string with the bow, each beautiful note that came helped me calm down, once I was calm enough I placed it back then left my room once more. Leaving the home with a goodbye to glit I wondered off to a giant garden I made during my two years of being in japan.

Everything was quiet, so it seemed no villains were attacking, at least not nearby for it to be audible. Ever since Glit befriended this group called "The league of villains" She's spent most of her time there, mainly to hang out with them but she sometimes helps them out. I've noticed that she's been fascinated by a this man she met on day a few weeks back, I believe his name was "Dabi". I walked around the garden, flowers of all types were there, each holding a meaning she only remembers by heart. A few she forgot, a few she can remember with ease, for example, the gardenia's. The Gardenia's stand for purity and gentleness, along with secret or forbidden love, that's the reason they grow in my lungs. Along with another flower called Iris, that one stands for hope even though I'm not really a hopeful person in certain situations. The further I went into the garden that might as well be considered a meadow instead, I saw a grave, fully aware of who lies where the grave was.

Once I got to it I sat down in front of it, the words "Fuerte Scyther, loving father and great friend" Written on it as I sigh, remembering how he died always hurt. Though his death was in deed not in vein, our mother got her revenge for his murder. I sigh again and weave my fingers through my hair slightly, closing my eyes as I listened to the noises around me. Birds chirping, bees buzzing around, the way the branches brustled, and how my breathing was calm and steady. Doing this was by far the most relaxing thing, minus stargazing and doing actual gardening work. I leaned back until I was laying on my back on the ground, I opened my eyes slightly to look at the clear blue sky.

Everyone says that looking into a clear sky could cause eye damage thanks to the sun, but I think otherwise since I'm not exactly a normal person. Putting my left hand into the air as a small flower grew out of said hand, the flower being a type of rose, it's color a dark red as I turned my hand around, watching the flower fall down and onto my chest. Feeling it gently hit my chest brought me back to reality as I slowly sat up, looking at my phone to realize I've been out here for a good few hours. I got up slowly and started to walk back to the house I've called my home for the past two years. Life in japan hadn't been… easy for the first few days.

They didn't really treat anyone who was american nicely to put it lightly, but I've been through worse so it never really bothered me. While walking back home I heard my phone go off, looking at it to see Ben was calling me...But why??? I know school isn't supposed to be at this time on the first day of school but I answer anyways. "Hello??" I ask, as I noticed there were a lot of people panicking in the background, two of the panicked voices sounding very familiar. "It's Mom," Ben started, sounding so upset "Frinchuski almost killed her." My heart stopped, fear slowly entered my veins "Is she okay!?!?" I asked, running back to the house this time "Yes, we have a person with a healing quirk on campus, She's okay but the twins are panicking...to be honest everyone is since the villain that all might went against years ago just came back-" "ALL MIGHT?!?!?" I shouted, My adrenaline pumping more as I felt fear pry it's way into my brain.

I could hear Ben wince at my sudden yelling and I felt a slight pluck of regret but before I could apologize he spoke up "All might is willing to help mom to have her become a hero"...What…"P-Pardon?" I stuttered slightly, slowing down when I could see our home.

"Yeah, Apparently he's wanted to help her from the get go… Wish we all knew that from the beginning as well" I slowly nod my head to his words as I tried to swallow the idea of my mother being a hero. "Do you think we'll be able to see our mother soon??" I ask once I get to the door steps "No...It's best to not create a big problem right now, I'll explain more when I get home, okay??" "O-Okay" I stutter again, sitting down on the stairs. "Alright, I love you and I'll be home soon, since the incident happened we all get to go home early," "I love you too...bye" I hang up on him before my fear finally takes over.

He attacked our mother, probably also attacked the twins, but the fact he had the Audacity to actually try and kill her is what scares me the most. My breathing quickens up to match my rapid heart beat as I pull at my cloak, tears filling my eyes. All the memories of how our mother had been beaten over the years by our grandfather going through my head, as one never stopped playing.

I sat on the floor, playing with my dolls that momma got me, as I listened to momma and grandpa fight in the living room. I wanted to cover my ears but I'm so used to this I don't. During their argument grandpa stomped into my room with something in a kettle, he grabbed me by my hair and pulled it, so my face was looking at the ceiling. I gave a yelp and started to cry from the pain as momma and grandma ran into the room. "PHIL!!!!!!!!" Grandma screamed in horror "Don't you Dare hurt my daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!" My momma, who was only thirteen at the time screamed.

"Your Daughter??" he started, sounding so angry as I could feel anger radiate off him " YOUR DAUGHTER?!?!?!?!?! She is nothing more but a child born from an act of sin!!!!!! You should have gotten a abortion Amanda, Not keep the child of the man who Raped you" He said coldly before tilting the kettle, boiling hot water was getting poured down the right side of my face as I screamed loudly, clawing at his hands as I felt the water on my neck and starting to burn it and my shoulder. I couldn't think of anything but of how much it hurt as I begged for him to stop. A vine went up and grabbed grandpa's wrist which shocked them all before throwing him at the wall, I collapsed onto the floor out of pain and agony as my momma and grandma rushed to my side. I slowly began to slip in and out of consciousness I heard my momma scream my name loudly out of fear-

"Olivia!!!!" I jumped, looking up to see Ben, I wiped away the tears and stood up, looking down at him "Hey, Little brother…" He sighed and hugged me, knowing that I had a small panic attack "She'll be okay, she's healed up now and the twins are fine too" He said softly as I hugged him back, after a while of just standing there we released each other and went inside. As soon as we did though, Glit bomb barded Ben with questions since she happened to be one of mothers emergency contacts, He answered them calmly so we could both feel calm knowing mother was in good hands. 'Strange...she hasn't freaked out at all when Ben brought up mom wanting to be a hero again' I thought to myself as they still chatted about something involving 'Hot men' I think???

"Anyways, where are mom and the twins staying???" I asked once they were done chatting "Oh, Mom's gonna stay with all might and the Twins are staying with Aizawa since-...." He paused, sighing as he weaves pushed his bangs back "Turns out Aizawa, my teacher is the twins real dad… their quirks come from him" The air changed as Glit and I went into a state of shock, both of us silent as we took the new information in. "Ben's homeroom teacher… is Kyra and Frankie's Father??" I thought to myself, trying to understand the whole fact. I have seen what he looked like before on Ben's classroom attendance on their website and he does have the same features to them so it wasn't That doubtful.

"Will we ever see them again??" Glit asked, breaking the silence for all of us as I looked at her, surprised by that type of question "Of course, They're still our family" he said to reassure her. After that we all relaxed, Glit putting on a horror movie for us as Ben made us some mochi and we ate. Of course I went to bed early since I was starting my partnership with this doctor who runs a small clinic and orphanage tomorrow, once into my room I took my cloak off, undid the bun in my hair and washed all the makeup off before sitting down in my bed. I looked at the news and yep, the announcement about mom becoming a hero was made but I noticed something more interesting.

It was a guy with red short spiky hair, his skin a normal color as fire surrounded his face, making a beard and a mask as I saw those sharp turquoise eyes. He had an excellently built body, wearing what seemed to be a body suit which was a navy turquoise color. They were showing a clip of him fighting some villain and winning as one of the anchors piped in "Well that's another win for Endeavor!!! Our no. 2 hero have saved the day Once again!!!" Soon it went back to normal but I couldn't get this "Endeavor" guy out of my head, his form, his technique… Everything was amazing. I can still feel his eyes burning into my soul from the tv as I turn it off and fall back, laying on my back with my arm over my eyes again.

All I could see behind my closed eyelids was Endeavor, I moved my arm away and looked at the ceiling, trying to get my mind off of him. I felt a tickling motion inside my neck as I sat up and coughed flower petals into my hand, once I was down coughing I looked at the petals.

They were marigolds.

"Marigold??... That's new" I muttered to myself, dropping the Marigold petals into the trash can. Soon I changed into my night wear before sliding into bed as I looked up at the ceiling again before slowly closing my eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.
