Catch Me I'm Falling (Todoroki x Reader x Bakugo)

Chapter 1: Prologue & First Day of Class

A/N: Please bear with me through the first few chapters. Introductions are a pain!

**Prologue**

My dad, a pro Hero, had completely lost it one night after coming home from a failed rescue mission.

I was four and I guess back then...I already had my Fire Quirk, but I didn't know it at the time since I showed no signs at all of having inherited anything like the Fire Control Quirk my dad had. It would have been obvious if I did since any flames or fire coming out of me wouldn't be hard to miss. My parents and I thought I only had the Cat Quirk from my mom because of my cat ears and tail.

It was getting dark but Mom and I didn't have any trouble seeing in the dark like other people did.

She was watching me while I was playing outside in our backyard.

I squeezed my All Might figure tightly when I heard Dad shout angrily for her to come inside.

Mom figured it would be fine to leave me alone for a little while. She'd be able to hear if something were to happen to me since her cat ears were also sensitive and acute to any sound.

It didn't take long for me to hear loud angry yelling from Dad and Mom's terrified shrieks. I was so startled though that I jumped back, my long tail accidentally knocking over the lantern next to me.

A fire started and it was quickly spreading by the minute.

I screamed and my dad came barreling out the door from inside.

Mom was trailing behind him with tears in her eyes.

My e/c eyes met my father's same e/c eyes. In that instant, my eyes held fear.

But in his, I saw something break. For the first time ever as a Hero, he did not immediately take action. He stood frozen until my mom tried to push past him to get to me. He shoved her and she fell to the ground. He stomped a boot down onto her stomach, making sure she wouldn't get up.

It was as if I felt the pain too as I began crying, confused and scared.

My dad ran over to me and roughly grabbed me by the arm.

I watched as he put his hand up and the flames that were once engulfing the backyard died down.

Once that was taken care of, he dragged me back inside to our kitchen.

I reached for Mom's hand as we passed by, but she was still in pain and couldn't get up. Before I knew what was happening, I heard her cry out my name.

"y/n!"

And that was it.

I felt the worst pain I've ever felt...my dad had taken a knife and chopped off my tail.

Dad left after that night. Ran away, really.

Mom and I never saw or heard from him again.

It was a problem for a little while since he was a pro Hero, but eventually it seemed like what he did to my mom and I was brushed aside and swept under the rug. He had connections that allowed him to 'disappear' and make the Hero Association deem him as just 'missing'.

**11 years later**

Now, Mom was abandoning me too.

She spewed nonsense about leaving me with a U.A. teacher to look after me while she was going to search for my 'missing' father.

I was angry.
