Chapter 3: The Elementals Pt. 3

Jade-
"Get comfortable, we're gonna be in here for a while before we get to Aria." Dad said.
"Uh...I have three beds in here, just...pick one that doesn't have my stuff on it and it's yours." Dad said.
"Ok." Shoto and I said, in sync.
I held Buddy. "So, how long have you had Buddy?" Todoroki asked.
"Hmm...I think it's been about 1 year and 6 months now." I said.
"So many years!" Buddy cheered, licking my face.
I laughed and cuddled him, petting him. Todoroki smiled, and then laid on the other bed beside mine with his arms behind his head. "Is this your first time on a space ship?" I asked.
"My first time on any ship." Todoroki said, and I chuckled.
Dad sighed and put the ship on autopilot. "Keep it down, I'm going to bed." Dad said
"Ok." We said, in sync, and he went to sleep.
I laid beside Todoroki on his bed. "Hello?" Todoroki asked, quietly.
I chuckled and smiled. "How do you know my dad?" I asked.
"Hmm...well, I've known him since I was little. My dad and him were close...so when dad...got sick...Jax was there for me to help with the hard parts...before dad died." Todoroki said.
"Oh no Todoroki...that's so sad." I said.
"It's ok." Todoroki said.
"At least you know him like that. I didn't even get the chance to know him. Mom told me he died so I never really...tried." I said.
"Wow, that's fucked up. No offense but...your mom sounds kinda like a bitch." Todoroki said.
"She is a bitch." I said.
Todoroki and I chuckled. I looked at Todoroki and he looked at me, our foreheads practically touching. "I know what that feels like...to have a shitty family member." Todoroki said.
"You...do? But you and Luna seem so close." I said.
"We are close! She's been there for me the last 6 years when I really needed her. I love her! But...she's my adoptive mom." Todoroki said.
"Oh." I said.
Todoroki took a deep breath and then sighed. "I was close with my dad, but he'd been sick since I was born and he couldn't do a lot of things a dad would do. He and mom...hired a butler since mom was always gone, working for the World Heroes Association. She was a pro hero, worked alongside Jax and Toshinori. My dad was a pro hero before he got sick. Anyways, the butler's name was Charles. He started 'training' me when I was 9 months old. He was awful, but since dad was always at treatment and mom was always working...he pretty much did whatever he wanted to do to me and my three older siblings. Torture, rape...you name it. When I was 2...dad died...the cancer got bad and he passed away. I was close with my dad, so it hurt pretty bad. He's the one...that gave me this." Todoroki said, pulling out his silver necklace with a silver sword charm that had a blue gem in the middle of the hand guard. "We buried him, and the next year...mom died. Killed by Seraph in a fight. She left me her necklace." Todoroki said, pulling out the box in his pocket. "After that...Toya, Fuyumi, and Natsuo ran away. Toya, my oldest brother, got tired of all of the abuse and burned the house down, killing Charles with his own two hands. I saw him do it. Then, he and I fought and I ended up passed out in the snow, a deep cut on my forehead." Todoroki said, showing me the scar on his upper right forehead. "That's when Rose and Inasa found me, passed out and barely breathing...bleeding. I was 3. Rose took me in, and the first 2 weeks she was caring for me since I was sick and injured. After that 2 weeks, I healed and she gave me a home. I asked her to start training me with my Quirk when I spotted her outside one day in the snow. After the first year, Inasa decided to join in the training. We were a little, happy family for 4 years in total...and then...a villain by the name of Soldier 13 came. He attacked the village where we bought our groceries from. Inasa went after him since this was the man that killed his dad and baby sister, and Rose and I found out. We went after him, but we found Inasa tortured and about to be killed. So, Rose had to heal him and I distracted and fought the villain. The fight was hard and he tortured me and beat me down, but I never gave up. Rose healed Inasa, and then she saved me from an attack...lost her leg, made a new one with ice, fought the guy, and then he brutally murdered her in front of my eyes when she saved me. I still remember how loudly I screamed. Rose died, I snapped...and I killed Soldier 13. Inasa woke up, punched me, blamed me for everything, and ran away. I was 7. Shortly after, Toya, Fuyumi, and Natsuo showed up. They threatened the village, so I...I turned myself over to them and they left the village in peace. For the next 5 years, they always had me chained/restrained; they beat me with their bare fists or sharp/jagged/blunt objects; they branded me; they broke my bones; they bruised me; they burnt me; they cut me; they dehumanized me; they deprived me of sleep, food, water, and proper medical treatment; they drugged me; they electrocuted me at a high voltage; they emotionally tortured me; they enslaved me; they experimented on me; they flogged me; they forced me into BDSM role play; they force fed me; they forced me into porn; they always had me gagged; they forced me to fight in underground battles for their entertainment until there was a clear winner. They mentally tortured me; they physically tortured me; they raped and gang raped me; they reformed my joints via dislocation and ballet; they sexually tortured and sexually dehumanized me; they shattered my bones; they spanked me with their bare hands or a paddle/flogger; they tortured me in every single imaginable and unimaginable way possible; they used all kinds of water torture on me; they whipped me until I passed out, and it was all non-stop...24/7. On Fridays, they'd dress me up sexually and tie me in sexual BDSM breast bondage, and took me to a place called Akuma... displaying me in the club where any customers could do whatever they wanted to, to me. Then, they would auction me off to the highest bidder for 24 hours. Anything they did was acceptable, Toya and them didn't care. But...Toya left me to Fuyumi and Natsuo shortly after they got me and left. To enhance the physical torture they used tools like the brazen bull, breaking wheel, breast ripper, batog, birch rod, catapelta, choke pear, cattle prod, electroshock weapon, gag, garrote, graduates electronic decelerator, head crusher, instep borer, iron chair, iron maiden, jiagun/zanzhi, Judas cradle, knee splitter, lead sprinkler, mancuerda, parrilla, pau de arara, pendulum, picana, pillory, rack, rope, scavenger's daughter, scold's bridle, Spanish boot, strappado, stocks, tablilla, thumbscrew, tongue tearer, tramp chair, Tucker telephone, whip, and a wooden horse...they used the wooden horse in sexual torture too." Todoroki said, and I just looked over him.
"They used other tools too. Eh, specifically BDSM tools like an armbinder or monoglove, anal hook, ball lock, bondage cuffs, bondage mittens, bondage harness, bondage belt, bondage hood, bondage tape, bondage yoke, chain, chastity device, cock ring, cohesive bondage, collar, corset, diapers, elbow harness, head harness, hobble skirt, human pony harness, humbler, different mouth gags like a funnel gag, a dental gag, a ring gag, a mouthguard gag, an inflatable gag, a bit gag, a ball gag, a muzzle gag, and a penis gag. They also used medical restraints, nose hooks, padlocks, penis plugs, plastic wrap, posture collars, pussy hook, shackles, sleepsacks, speculum, spreader bad, straitjacket, A-frame, Berkley horse, bondage bed, bondage bench, bondage chair, bondage frame, bondage stool, bondage table, bondage wheel, bock stocks, fisting slings and swings, genital stocks, grope box, gynecological chair, gynecological table, hoist, inversion table, massage table, queening stool, rack, sawhorse, seated cross, smotherbox, whipping bench, X-cross, blindfolds, gas masks, vacuum beds, breast press, butt plugs, canes, enema, floggers, nipple clamps, riding crop, spanking paddles, spanking belt, titty twister, urethral sound, vampire gloves, Wartenberg wheel, Ben Wa Balls, erotic electro stimulation apparatus, masturbation machine, strap-on dildo, sybian, vibrator, violet wand, and a sex machine. 5 years, the pain...the trauma? It doesn't get better, but eventually I learned how to cope." Todoroki said.
  "How did you meet TC and Luna?" I asked, softly.
  "TC saved me from Fuyumi and Natsuo, but they vanished from custody somehow. TC was the doctor that cared for me and Luna was my recovery doctor and the one who...well did the sexual assault kit." Todoroki said.
  "That would put you at 12." I said, and Todoroki nodded.
  "Yeah, once I recovered TC and Luna adopted me so I didn't have to go into foster care. Saved my life, so I live with them now." Todoroko said.
  I was just inspired by him, his story was similar to mine...but different. "How do you manage...with so much, I mean?" I asked.
  He turned and adjusted, fully facing me. "Inside my memories lies sad thoughts and it's hard to forget, but I try everyday to keep moving forward. After all, living in sadness isn't living at all." Todoroki said, closing his eyes and smiling at me so wide.
  I gasped, looking at him, tearing up and then smiling. "Yeah." I said, wiping my tears.
  He chuckled, continuing to smile at me. I loved his smile...and I wanted to protect it...forever and ever. "Todoroki, I promise you as long as you and I are together. As long as you're my friend, my partner...I'll protect you with everything I've got!" I exclaimed, flexing my arm and clutching my bicep. "No matter what!" I exclaimed, winking.
  "In that case...call me Shoto. All of my friends call me by my real name." Todoroki said.
  "Shoto." I said.
  "There you go!" Todoroki exclaimed.
  I smiled and then looked down. "So long as we're sharing...can I borrow your ear for a bit?" I asked, making a small gesture with my index finger and thumb, closing one eye.
  "I'd be happy to." He said, and I smiled.
  My smile turned into a frown. "The night I was born...my mom faked her death and took me from Athens, Greece. She took me to her space ship and we left Earth for Sipra...Ares Isle." I said. "The first things they did were: brand us, tattoo a barcode on our wrists that only showed up when facing the up, pierced our ear and put a number tag into it, fitted us for leather collars, and then gave us derogatory names. They brainwashed us, they experimented on us while forcing us to live in a fake scenario, they taught us everything from school stuff and languages to martial arts of all kinds and weapons handling of all types. Made us do ballet, sports, and kill people man, woman, child, non-binary, innocents...everyone who posed a threat to Seraph...my mom. For 14 years, they always had me chained/restrained; they beat me with their bare fists or sharp/jagged/blunt objects; they branded me; they broke my bones; they bruised me; they burnt me; they cut me; they dehumanized me; they deprived me of sleep, food, water, and proper medical treatment; they drugged me; they electrocuted me at a high voltage; they emotionally tortured me; they enslaved me; they experimented on me; they flogged me; they forced me into BDSM role play; they force fed me; they forced me into porn; they always had me gagged; they killed and resurrected me, multiple times with the Aphrodite Rose; they forced us to fight in colosseum battles for their entertainment until only one person remained. They mentally tortured me; they physically tortured me; they raped and gang raped me; they reformed my joints via dislocation and ballet; they sexually tortured and sexually dehumanized me; they shattered my bones; they spanked me with their bare hands or a paddle/flogger; they tortured me in every single imaginable and unimaginable way possible; they used all kinds of water torture on me; they whipped me until I passed out, and it was all non-stop...24/7. On Fridays, they'd dress us up sexually and tied us in sexual BDSM breast bondage, and took me to a place called Shinigami... displaying us in the club where any customers could do whatever they wanted to, to us. Then, they would auction us all off to the highest bidder for 24 hours. Anything they did was acceptable, mom didn't care...so long as we suffered. To enhance the physical torture they used tools like the brazen bull, breaking wheel, breast ripper, batog, birch rod, catapelta, choke pear, cattle prod, electroshock weapon, gag, garrote, graduates electronic decelerator, head crusher, instep borer, iron chair, iron maiden, jiagun/zanzhi, Judas cradle, knee splitter, lead sprinkler, mancuerda, parrilla, pau de arara, pendulum, picana, pillory, rack, rope, scavenger's daughter, scold's bridle, Spanish boot, strappado, stocks, tablilla, thumbscrew, tongue tearer, tramp chair, Tucker telephone, whip, and a wooden horse...they used the wooden horse in sexual torture too. For sexual torture they used other tools. Specifically...BDSM tools like an armbinder or monoglove, anal hook, ball lock, bondage cuffs, bondage mittens, bondage harness, bondage belt, bondage hood, bondage tape, bondage yoke, chain, chastity device, cock ring, cohesive bondage, collar, corset, diapers, elbow harness, head harness, hobble skirt, human pony harness, humbler, different mouth gags like a funnel gag, a dental gag, a ring gag, a mouthguard gag, an inflatable gag, a bit gag, a ball gag, a muzzle gag, and a penis gag.

I escaped, I awoke my Quirk and I destroyed the entire planet. I killed a lot of her guards, her men, her women...her people. I freed all of the slaves who survived and sent us all to our planets of origin. That's when Keigo found me. He took me to TC at the hospital and TC cared for me. Then, once I was healed after 6 months, Keigo took me in and I took his last name, Takami, since I hated my last name. I didn't go to school the first year, and instead started working at Sixth Sense...the coffee café. It was the only way I was ok with socializing...I was gonna start school this year but...who knows now, at least until we get the quantum entanglement gone." I said.
"That's...really sad and awful." Shoto said.
I chuckled a bit. "I have only ever really told Keigo what all happened...until now, with you...and probably dad. I doubt he's actually asleep." I said.
"I understand that. It took me a while, but I finally told Luna and TC about...everything when I was 15. I promised Jax I would do it when I was 12, but it took 3 years for me to feel comfortable and safe. And TC and Luna wanted me to tell them when I was ready...so that's what I did." Shoto said.
"Yeah, Keigo was the same...but I told him after he adopted me because I knew...he only wanted to protect me." I said.
"That's brave." Shoto said.
I looked at him and smiled. "So are you." I said.
He smiled at me and I scooted closer to him, laying my head on his chest as he held his arms behind his head, kissing my forehead. I smiled and we started looking at the stars. "The stars look so different from space." Shoto said.
"Yeah." I said, and we laughed, sitting up.
"Close your eyes." Shoto said.
I chuckled, and closed my eyes. I felt his hand gently around my neck and then they pulled away. "Open." Shoto said.
I opened my eyes and touched my neck. I gasped when I saw the silver necklace around my neck that had a silver sword charm with a blue gem in the middle of the hand guard. "Shoto, this is..." I began, tearing up.
He closed his eyes and smiled at me. "I promise I'll protect you and I'll always be by your side...no matter what." Shoto said, and I teared up and hugged him.
He smiled, hugging me and we laid back down on his bed. I put my head on his chest and curled deeply into him. "Thank you." I said.
"Thank you Jade, for teaching me how to smile again." Shoto said, and we smiled at each other, pressing our foreheads against one another.
Eventually, I fell asleep on his chest and he held his arm around my shoulder, rubbing my back.

Shoto-
I held her against me. No one was ever gonna hurt her again, and her and I were pretty much inseparable after that day.
