So sorry for the wait! I got a little stuck on this chapter, but I also wrote a very angsty chapter for up ahead.

Read and review if you want~

She could still hear the murmurs going around her as she sat on the cool tile. Her hand clutched a ragged looking bear. It's fur was mostly worn away and it no longer held itself up. Instead it hung limply in her arms as the girl drew up her knees to her chest and let her head rest. The police had been swarming for a number of hours already.

"The seventh day in a row.." Her voice was soft and shaky as she closed her eyes. No one was paying her attention anymore anyways.

When the first responders arrived she had been in a state of fear and consternation. All she remembered was waking up to blue flames burning all around her with two bodies laying in her room. There were voices yelling outside, but she couldn't understand anything that they were saying. A sob wretched itself from her throat as she tried to will her body to move, to do anything at all. However, her body was cold and distant and she remained petrified, gawking at the chaos in front of her.

After they had pulled her from the room, the police tried multiple times to understand the situation. They couldn't piece together much from her fragmented memory, and the shouting and the screaming of the sirens had only caused her to close down even more. Ana had sat for hours in the lobby of the orphanage wrapped in a shock blanket, but nothing had changed. When she looked at her hands, all she saw was the blinding darkness and the unmistakable blue flames. Officers were still looking at her room, trying to get evidence. No one was paying her any attention, so she decided to shed the blanket and try and get some air.

The thin framed girl shakily rose to her feet and took a quick glance around. A few police officers were milling around, but none even gave her a second glance. Ana started to make her way to the entrance. Just as she reached her hand to grab the handle, the door swung open and she scrambled backwards. Two officers faced her, although both looked just as surprised as she felt.

"Excuse me miss..-" The younger of the two spoke out as he snuck a glance to the older officer. He looked unsure of how to continue.

"Would you like to go outside?" The older officer flashed her a tired smile as he ruffled the younger one's hair.

"Don't mind Connor, he's new to the force." Connor smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. Ana's eyes slowly drifted up to the older man and nodded slightly. He smiled and led her out the door.

There was a small crowd gathered around looking at the building from behind the police line, but other than that, there wasn't much going on. A gentle wind blew down the street and Ana closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath. When she exhaled, she opened her eyes and looked towards the crowd. Most of the people were simply gathering on their way to work or taking a short walk to look at the damage. However, one person stood out to her. A boy in a school uniform hung near the back of the crowd. His hair was both red and white, and as she glanced at his face, her own eyes widened. The wind picked up just for a moment and her bangs lifted off her left eye. Her own heterochroma orbs met another pair, but just as soon as their eyes had met, he turned around and started to briskly walk away.

"He looks like Koda.." The bear she still clutched in her hand held an uncanny resemblance to the stranger. Half of the fur on his small face was missing. When she had been given him on the first night when she couldn't sleep, he was missing one of his button eyes. Instead of leaving him with only one black button, she looked around and eventually found a small white button to sew on his scarred face. Koda had been the only object that had been spared in any of the fires she caused. Her eyebrows furrowed together as she began to lose herself in thought.

Why? That one simple word began all of her questions now. Why was she here? Why couldn't she remember anything? Why couldn't she control herself? Why, why, why.

A cough brought her out of her thoughts and she jerkily looked towards the source of the cough. It was the older policeman. Underneath his hat she could see shaggy grey hair sticking out, although his washed out blue eyes still remained sharp and intelligent. The other policeman was not wearing a hat, and his dark brown hair was slicked back, although some hairs had managed to escape their prison and hung in his face. His eyes matched his hair, but they held a light of both intrigue and intellect.

Without saying anything, Ana quietly took a seat on the edge of the sidewalk. The sky was a hazy blue with small white clouds scattered across the horizon. In the distance she could vaguely make out the skyscrapers of the city. It was strange because she still had no idea where she actually was. As much as she had tried to wrack her brain for answers, none would come to her. The police had even brought in a detective with a mind reading quirk, but there was simply nothing. She was told that it was as if her appearance at the orphanage, she simply didn't exist. In nearly everyone's mind, she was an unsolvable enigma.

The night terrors that haunted her every time she tried to sleep offered her only were filled with strange places both fantasmic and eyes became hazy as she tried her hardest to remember what had happened last night.

Initially there was excitement. Excitement and awe. Then.. something warm and fuzzy had blossomed inside her heart. Ana sighed as she drew her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her ankles. The only thing she felt in her heat now was an aching emptiness that craved the warm fuzzy feeling that she didn't know how to name. She drew herself into a tighter ball at the thought of the air being replaced with a terrible vacuum of fear and panic. Then she had been flooded by the strange, calming of the sight of turquoise among a flickering ocean of orange.

By the time she was able to pull her head out of the depths of her mind, she realized that the police had left her and gathered around a figure that was walking into the entrance of the thought that she had seen a flash of flame, but she dismissed it for a trick of her mind. A heavy sigh slipped from her lips as she slowly got to her feet. For a second she wobbled on her toes, but she closed her eyes against the rush of darkness that tinged her vision and took a step forwards.

After a few seconds she opened her eyes again and let her vision return back to normal. It was if her senses had heightened in just those few seconds. Her heart suddenly beat at a faster rhythm, her ears picked up every piece of gravel that crunched under her shoes, and fear flooded her brain for what she could explain as no reason.

Ana pursed her lips and continued her way towards the entrance. Whispers reached her ears, but she couldn't quite make out what they were about.

'A hero is here..'

'Why is he here?'

'Endeavor, huh?'

Of course Ana couldn't understand what was going on. Yes, she was aware of the existence of heroes and what their job entailed, but why was a hero here at some presumably random orphanage?

The moment she walked through the door, every muscle in her body froze. Her mind had not been tricking her earlier, indeed there were flames in the room. In face, they were all streaming off of a stoic man who stood with arms crossed and his back to her. A woman with neat blonde hair that fell just past her shoulders stood next to him. They were holding a quiet conversation as one of the orphanage staff talked to them.

Without thinking, she started to back up; her heart beating out of her chest. Ana had only made a few steps before the staff woman had caught sight of her.

"Ana, why don't you come over here, sweetie?" It seemed as if she would go deaf from how loudly her heartbeat was rushing in her ears. The unyielding pulse hammered her eardrums while she slowly made her way forwards.

The stocky man on fire turned around to face her and her hammering heart nearly stopped at the startling intensity of his turquoise eyes. For a few seconds, she forgot to move. Nothing besides her pounding heart moved an inch.

It was him.

The one who had saved her in her dream.

It was him.

What happened next was a blur in the girl's memory. The hero had introduced himself as Endeavor. The staff member spoke for a while to her, but only a few words caught.

' Leaving, Mr. Endeavor, home. '

Her head spun wildly as her mind flooded with confusion. People were saying things to her, but for some reason, her mind had simply shut off. A woman had asked her something about belongings, but she could only shake her head. After all, she had lost everything in the fires that she had started.

Ana's unfocused eyes found their way to the muscular man who towered above her with his arms crossed. Slowly she looked him over again. His face was masked in flames, and his figure was covered in a navy blue bodysuit that was accented with even more flames. And then, there were his eyes.

Unyielding orbs that burned through the fog in her brain stared down at her. For a moment, she managed to bring her own eyes to meet his. In those scarce seconds, she saw a menagerie of emotions in the seemingly cold man's eyes. He was scared too. Scared and hurt, yet overwhelmingly determined, and even a little.. Proud?

Slowly, she made her way across the foyer towards him and silently stood next to him. His head turned towards her as he flashed her a slightly forced looking smile.

"My hero name is Endeavor, but my name is Enji. Enji Todoroki." His speech was clipped and awkward, however, when she turned her head to look up at him, his eyes were still focused on her. Ana nodded slightly and softly mumbled her name before she started to look back towards the ground. At the last second, she could have sworn that she had seen one of the corners of his mouth turn up in a smile just ever so slightly.

"Mr. Endeavor, would you like me to stay here and get a statement from the police?" The woman who had approached her earlier spoke up. Nuduzo knew that Endeavor wouldn't know what to do, but having her there wouldn't be the best thing for the situation either. Endeavor turned towards her and looked at her slightly confused. She quickly looked to the quiet girl and back to her boss and flashed him a thumbs up. His eyes widened slightly before he nodded and cleared his throat.

"Yes, get a report from the police and assess the damages. We can discuss the formalities later. Thank you." His speech remained curt and concise, but both of the girls could sense the slight relief in his voice.

While the sidekick walked off towards the police gathered by the doorway, Endeavor turned back to Ana and knelt down to be on her level. The girl shrunk a little at the movement, but her eyes turned back towards the man. She thought that she saw a brief look of doubt on his face, but it was gone in an instant.

"I'm sure this is confusing," it didn't seem like the words were coming easily to him, and Endeavor knew it. With a soft sigh, he flashed her a forced smile and held out his head.

"How about we leave this place behind?"
