I woke up the next morning still in that room. I saw a bag of clothes next to the couch and looked through them. In there was my extra uniform, some sweatpants, a sweatshirt I didn't recognize and toiletries. I picked up the sweatshirt and smelled it. It smelled like Midnight. I remember her telling me her real name, I think it's Nemuri Kayama. it smelled like flowers and lavender. I turned my head to the sound of a door opening. It was Midnight. She wasn't in her hero costume, but some jeans and a nice blouse."I see you like my sweatshirt. I'm glad you do, Its to small for me so I wanted to give it to you." I smiled a little, "thank you Midnight." Then I looked at the ground, "how did you get my clothes?" Midnight came and sat down next to me and she put her hand on my shoulder. "Well, me and two other teachers went to your house last night to talk to your father, Murashi, and I got some of your clothes then." I looked at her and my eyes started to well up, "I don't want to go back there. He scares me." She pulled me into a hug and I, once again, laid my head on her chest while she stroked my head. "It's ok. Don't worry about having to go back there. Ever." I look up, "huh? What do you mean?" I asked. She smiled, "Well, we told an attorney about what he was doing to you and the attorney asked if you had any other family. Which, we knew you didn't, so the attorney was about to put you into foster care." My eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean, about to?" Her smile widened a little, "Well, I told the attorney that I would adopt you. The attorney talked to your mother, Rei, about it and your mother signed the adoption papers." It was my turn to smile. "S-so you're my mom now?" I asked. "Yes, and now you don't have to worry about any more abuse." I hugged her. "Thank you so much." She laid her head on top of mine, "you're welcome." She then helped me stand up, "now, we have to go by your house and get the rest of your things and bring them to my house." She looked me in the eyes. "If he tries anything, he'll have to deal with all 4 of your teachers." I laughed, "so you're saying that You, Mr Aizawa, All Might and Present Mic will be  on standby if he tries anything?" She chuckled, "yes. Now, here's what's going to happen. Once we get there, you are going to go inside and go straight to your room. I will bring in some boxes for you to put your stuff in once you tell me you're ready. Don't make any kind of contact with your father. You will go to your bathroom and grab whatever you need in there and get out as soon as you can. Ok?" I nod, "ok." She smiled, "Let's go." She walked me out to her car and I got in the front seat. A few minutes later, we arrived at my house and I pushed open then door and get out. I grab some boxes from the back of her car and walk to my front door. I glance back and she gives me a warm smile. I fumble around in my pocket for the keys to my house. I grabbed them out do my pocket and unlocked the door. I walked silently to my room and closed the door behind me. I set the boxes down on my bed and reached for my dresser. I opened the first drawer and grabbed the 3 piles of neatly folded clothes and put them into a box. I repeated that step until all my clothes were in one box. I set it aside and moved to my nightstand. I grabbed all the little figurines and set them gently into one of the smaller boxes. I then proceeded to grab the jewelry box my mother gave me, which I hadn't opened in forever, that was full of a lot of her jewelry. I put it into the box with the figurines and finished with my nightstand. I grabbed the pictures and posters off my walls and put them into a tall box. I realized that I was running out of time and quickly cleaned out my closet and desk and separated my art supplies and other miscellaneous things into separate boxes. I was done. My room looked so empty and lifeless without my things covering it. I had one last box so I decided to take my animal plushie collection and a small blanket and put them in there. I heard the front door open and I froze. I heard Midnight talking to my father. I listened to the conversation, which wasn't really a conversation anymore, just yelling. I heard glass shatter and a loud thud. I flinched at the thud, wondering who it was. I then heard loud, menacing footsteps heading for my room. I leaped up to lock the door but it was too late. My father had already opened the door. I started to yell for help but my father grabbed me and put a hand around my mouth. I tried to pry his hand away, but none of my struggling helped me. He then released his hold on my mouth and grabbed me harshly by the arm and dragged me to the living room, which was the room you came into when you entered the house. I saw the door come crashing down and 3 people came through. "You will unhand her, Murashi." Mr Aizawa said in a harsh tone. He let go of my arm but held me in a vulnerable position to where if they tried anything, they'd hit me instead. I looked at my 3 teachers with pleading eyes. All Might's smile disappeared and he stepped forward. "If you don't let young Okawa go now, you will suffer the consequences." He took another step forward but I looked at him and shook my head slightly. He backed off and whispered something in Mr Aizawa's ear. Then Mr Aizawa turned to Present Mic and whispered the same thing into his ear. Present Mic nodded and started towards the unconscious Midnight laying on the floor. My father tightened his grip on me. "Get away or I'll hurt her even more." He growled. The 3 Pro Heroes refused to back down. My father switched his grip. I knew what he was about to do. He taught me this move, just not how to get out of it. It was a move to break an arm. He told them once again to back off. Except this time, he threatened to break my arm. The 3 teacher/ Pro Heroes did not falter. My father proceeded to finish the move. His grip got tighter, slowly. Painfully. "Please stop! Just listen to them you idiot! Let me go!" I wailed. Mr Aizawa's fierce look faded for a second as he looked at my weak, useless form. He mouthed the words, "freeze his ass." But I didn't see it, my father did. He used the brute force of his kick to break my leg and send me to my knees. I cried out in pain as I felt the bone in my leg shatter. Thank goodness my adrenaline kicked in, or I probably would've passed out. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and summoned my ice quirk. I froze him in place while I escaped. Mr Aizawa scooped me up in his arms as I fell trying to get away. I heard sirens and within minutes, the Police showed up and arrested my father. I was put in an ambulance and rushed to a hospital. They transported me to the ER and moved me to a bed. I had nurses checking me all day and all night. I had to stay there for awhile because of all the trauma. It was about a day into my stay at the hospital and I was awoken from a nap by hushed voices of multiple people. I opened my eyes and liked around. I turned my head in the direction of the voices and it was Class 1-A. There were a few kids that swarmed over me and those kids were Midoriya, Iida, Ururaka, Yayorozu and Todoroki. They all asked if I was ok in unison so I smiled and replied that I was ok. Eventually, some of the kids went home but a select few stayed behind. Todoroki came up and sat in the chair next to my bed and grabbed my good hand firmly. I asked him if he was ok and he replied, "yes, I'm fine thanks." But, when I looked a little closer, he had dark bags under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for weeks. I sighed and decided it was time to go back to sleep. I dozed off but had nightmares of my father. I woke up 2 hours later still in the hospital room. I paged a nurse and once one came in, I asked her how long I should be in the hospital. She replied sweetly, "you should only be in here for another week or so. Just to ensure that you're ok. I know you kids with quirks heal faster than normal people do but we still have to make sure." I replied, "thank you." She nodded, "of course. If you need anything else, just page me." And with that, she walked over to my IV, unhooked the bag and set it down. She grabbed a syringe and inserted the brown-tannish liquid into my IV and I quickly fell asleep.
