《Dreamscape (ReaderxMidoriyaxBakugouxTodoroki)》12. Scars and Memories

After Katsuki left last night. Y/n waited in the bathroom until Rosalinda went in to trade with her. They were both nervous. How could they not be? What they pulled was a huge gamble.
What if they get caught?
However, luckily after Mama believed Y/n took the drink she left them alone thinking she'd won. To say the night went smoothly was an understatement.
Y/n, the following morning was having a massive headache for how long she used her quirk. Her eyes were extremely sensitive to the light, and she could barely see.
Mama that morning was in good spirits because of how well her 'prized possession' performed for the after-audience hours. The harvesting went amazing, in Mama's words. They got so many men their captor decided to reward all the girls by giving them a free day. Surprisingly, she let Y/n take Miguel out of his bedroom, or how Y/n would call it his cell.
The older woman would only allow him out every blue moon, this was a rare day indeed. It would not be taken for granted, nor questioned.
Miguel was so excited, his e/c eyes were full of joy for the first time in a long time. Y/n almost, almost, forgot how many men were captured because of her.
Of course, Y/n needed to have a handcuff, suppressing her quirk which knew her location twenty-four/seven. Also, a bodyguard would be with them so they wouldn't escape. Rosalinda decided to tag along with them, since they were all practically siblings – she too wore a cuff to suppress her pyro quirk.
She also wanted to tag along to make sure Y/n was okay. She knew after using her quirk for that long, was hard on her eyesight afterwards. Rosalinda would be her sight while taking care of Miguel.
Y/n was holding onto little Miguel's hand as she and Rosalinda swayed him forward with every step, they took on the side of the beach. He also had a cuff on. He didn't have a quirk, but his location needed to be known too.
Mama knew if she lost him, she would lose Y/n. However, for Miguel, if any of them tried to run away the cuff would inject a lethal drug. They weren't sure how true this was, but they weren't about to test it out either.
Little Miguel was excited and pointed at everything around them. All the colorful lights and different smells of the vendor foods. They were walking down Takoba Municipal Beach Park, a small festival buzzing with a decent crowd around them. Which made it that much better for Miguel to enjoy. Y/n was extremely happy for him and sad at the same time, he was rarely able to go out.
This was the first time, this year he'd gone out.
She still remembered when this beach was full of trash. Miguel was allowed to come out a couple of years ago. The both played hide and seek together here. It became a favorite spot of theirs since a lot of people would ignore the beach. The day she saw the beach cleared up, she got sad thinking they'd lost their special place.
When she brought Miguel today to the beach, she feared he would hate it. Miguel, however loved how beautiful it looked, especially when the sun would set. His room art was inspired by this beach.
Seeing his radiant smile, made Y/n's anxiety calm down. Mentally thanking the person who cleaned everything from the beach.
The three of them kept their distance from everyone else. Staying close to the guard to not seem suspicious of running away. They could run to a civilian and ask for help, but in the end who would believe them? And they would not risk Miguel's life.

However, what Y/n didn't know, was that she's also being followed by a team from class 3-A. The next phase of their mission in rescuing said young woman was currently underway.
Hitoshi, Hanta and Tsuyu were following them ever since they saw Y/n leave the club and get in a black car with a little boy and another older young woman. It was their day to get intel on her current situation.
After hearing what Izuku, Shouto and Katsuki encountered yesterday they were shocked to hear how Y/n's quirk worked. She clearly didn't look anything like their sensei's, ruling out the possibility of her being their child.
So how was she able to have a quirk mixed of all three of them?
Hanta was tasked to talk to said girl and find out what part of Mexico she was from so Fatgum could pull records from over there to get her true identity. That is if she was even from there. The three young heroes were in their street clothes. Hanta wearing a hoodie and dark jeans, while Hitoshi and Tsuyu wore hats and sunglasses to hide their hair color and regular street clothes. They wanted to avoid being spotted by anyone who recognized them from U.A.
Y/n and Rosalinda were holding Miguel by his hands, one on each side so he wouldn't get lost. Miguel stopped at a booth with little golden fish as a price and begged Y/n to let him play so he could take one home. Y/n being skeptical at first, didn't let him. Miguel was a smart kid. Still, taking care of a fish was a responsibility, she wasn't sure he was ready for.
She finally caved in, when he mentioned he wouldn't feel as alone if he had a friend to talk to everyday. This made Y/n's heart break and she instantly agreed, giving in easily for her little brother. Rosalinda looked over at Y/n and smirked, telling her she was a pushover when it came to him.
"Whatever, how can you say no to this adorable little face?" Y/n leaning down in front of Miguel, squished his cheeks in her hands. Puffing them out and talking to him like he was still a two-year-old.
"Sissy, stop! You're embarrassing me!" Miguel whined, while trying to get her sister to let him go, making Rosalinda laugh.
"Ándale, suéltalo. Si no, el nene va a llamar mucha atención." Rosalinda warned Y/n, then looked over at the guard who was watching them from a nearby bench.
"Yo no soy un nene." Miguel stomped his foot on the ground and crossed his arms over his chest, proving her right.
Y/n laughed and kissed his small cheeks. "¿Ah, no crees? Dime, Miguelito..." Y/n crouching down in front of Miguel, brushed his bangs out of his face. "No crees que lo que estás haciendo ahorita es tener mal educación? Yo no me acuerdo en haber enseñarte esos modales, ¿verdad?" Miguel looked at his big sister then looked down at the ground ashamed.
"No." Miguel looked back up at his sister and bowed low for her. "Lo siento hermana."
"Como voy a poder estar enojada con un angelito hermoso como tu?!" Y/n squealed and hugged her little brother tight. Swinging him around and making him squeal in laughter along with her.
Some of the other people walking around watched them with small smiles. Rosalinda was trying to hold back tears of joy. It was beautiful to see them communicate in their native language. It was rare to see it outside of Miguel's room.

Y/n putting Miguel down, patted his hair down and adjusted his clothes. "Quieres, ganar un pescadito?" Miguel nodded excitedly and grabbed his sisters' hand while dragging her over to the booth.
Hanta seeing this exchange warmly smiled, he knew instantly what they were talking about. They'd spoken in his native tongue. He also recorded the encounter with his phone as he passed by to show it to the others. There was one particular person, he wanted to show it to.
Katsuki was acting strange all day in school and the common room after class. He seemed on edge and was snappier at everyone than usual, it reminded Hanta of their first year together.
When Hanta and his other friends asked Katsuki why he was acting the way he was. He yelled at them and called them a bunch of extras who needed to mind their own business. Something he hadn't done in a while. Hanta guessed it had something to do with the young woman who was trying to win a fish for her little brother.
From what Katsuki described yesterday at their mission meeting, she looked nothing like that today. She was smiling and laughing, nothing compared to the broken girl Katsuki described. When Katsuki gave them a run-down of what happened while he encountered her in the bathroom, he was angry.
His vermillion eyes shone with determination when he spoke about her. He didn't say in detail what they spoke about, but Hanta knew it was on his friends mind all day. Hopefully, showing Katsuki this video would bring him back from the frustration he was feeling.
Hanta quickly shot a text to said blond with the video attached.
"I'm gonna try to get closer to them, can you distract the guard for me?" Hanta asked Hitoshi as he put his phone away.
Hitoshi got up from the picnic table they were at and nodded at his friend. "Don't do anything rash, it's still too early to make a move." Glancing towards Tsuyu and signaling her to follow him.
The green haired young hero gave Hanta a thumbs up for encouragement before they both walked off.
Hanta waited for his friends to approach the guard before he made his move. It seemed Hitoshi had it under control. It didn't take long for the guard to get up and follow them with a blank haze in his eyes.
Y/n not paying attention, was cheering for her little brother. He only needed to get one more plastic ring onto the bottle he was aiming for to win a fish. She didn't notice right away, but there was a shadow figure who stood next to her covered in a dark hoodie. When she looked over her shoulder, she noticed a tall boy with dark hair who looked around her age, motioning her to follow him.
She looked over to where the guard was and saw no one around. She was about to grab Miguel and Rosalinda and run out of there, when the boy reached over and showed her the U.A. High emblem pin. It was difficult to see the details, but she instantly knew what it was when she reached over and touched it. It was the same pin she carried with her since Katsuki gave it to her.
She memorized it to the point of knowing it with only a touch.
Y/n sighing in relief, instantly understood and quickly gave Rosalinda a reassurance glance and mouthed out, "I'll be back."
Rosalinda was looking at her from the corner of her eyes and quickly nodded getting the silent request to keep her brother occupied. She continued to cheer on Miguel to distract him. However, it didn't matter since he was too invested in his conquest to get a fish to notice his sister stepping away.
Hanta had Y/n follow him to a white van, in the parking lot far away from the crowd. It was difficult for her to see his facial features with her current eye state. Still, she knew he could be trusted.
Opening the door, Hanta ushered her in quickly. Looking around and making sure no one followed them first before getting inside the van himself and locking them inside.
"You're not going to kidnap me, right?" Y/n asked suspiciously. "I mean I get you're from U.A. High and you probably know Shouto, Katsuki and Izuku. Katsuki didn't mention anyone coming so soon though?"
"I know this is sudden. My name is Hanta Sero, and I am in the same class as your friends. I'm also working with them to help you and your friends get out. I promise you can trust me." Hanta reassured the nervous girl in front of him.
"What can I do for you then Mr. Sero." Y/N tilted her head curiously at the young man who looked to be a little bit older than her.
"We need to know where you were born." Hanta got straight to business. He took out his phone to record the conversation motioning to Y/n if she minded, she shook her head understanding he needed to do this.
"Sure, from what I was told, I was born in Mexicali, Baja California. It used to be much bigger a long time ago. Ever since the cartel took over most of Mexico's population went down a lot." Y/n smiled sadly at him, she never liked speaking of her home town for obvious reasons.
"My parents are from Tijuana, Baja California. They fled the country, so I understand." Hanta smiled sheepishly at the h/c haired girl.
"Enserio! Entonces hablas Español?" She scooted closer in excitement, earning a small blush from him.
He should be used to the proximity by now since he got it from most of his family members when he visited them in the U.S after they all moved there. Most of his family refused to move all the way to Japan. Since they were in America, they were a lot safer than in Mexico and decided to stay there. His parents and some other family members decided to create roots in Japan after being offered a job.
"Si, estoy impresionado que lo hablas muy bien. Quien te enseño?" Hanta asked curiously, wanting to get as much information as he could, specifically for his irritated best friend.
"La muchacha con quien me viste. Somos del mismo pueblo. El niño chiquito, él es mi hermano. Ella nos enseño a los dos. Se nomas lo básico, todavía me falta mucho que aprender." Y/n smiled sheepishly at Hanta, embarrassed to admit she wasn't as fluent in her own language as she should be.
"No creo, parece que te enseño muy bien. Oye también tu Japones." Hanta reassured the nervous girl. "Entonces, el niño de afuera es tu hermano chiquito. Que tal la otra muchacha. Quién es ella?"
"Si, se llama Miguel. Y ella se llama Rosalinda, no es mi hermana biológica, pero venimos del mismo lugar en México. Vivíamos en un rancho chiquito, no había tanta gente. Todos se conocían en el vecindario." Y/N remembered the days she used to play hide and seek with her little brother in garden at their home.
"Que fue lo que paso? Como llegaste hasta aca?" Hanta asked carefully, he brought his phone out closer to her.
Y/n sighed tiredly. Just thinking about it always depressed her.
It's been a long time since she thought about that day. They were events she would rather not remember. She lost her family on that night and her whole town. She didn't know what happened after they were taken. They didn't have access to the internet so she couldn't look it up in the hopes of finding if people truly made it out or not.
"Paso en inverno, no sabíamos que estaba sucediendo..." Y/n reluctantly began...
Y/n was with Miguel in the kitchen, trying to make enchiladas for their parents before they came back from work. Y/n being nine, had to stand on one of the chairs to be able to reach the countertop. Miguel was on the ground near her with toys, babbling about something she couldn't understand since he was too young to speak yet.
Their kitchen was small and cozy, with an old black chimney burning wood to keep them warm. Y/n took care of most of the house chores while both her parents were working out at the fields. It was wintertime, the roughest time of the year to be out there. They had to make sure the crops the town needed would not die during the season. They got paid very little, so they both needed to work. Together they barely made enough to keep them all alive.
Y/n was humming along to a lullaby her mother always used to sing to her before tucking her into bed. Miguel at hearing the tune, looked up at his sister with pure adoration. With a big smile on his face, he made grabby hands up at her. Y/n loving her little brother caved in and brought him close to her chest. She was twirling him around the room and humming the song to him louder and giggling with him.
Everything was peaceful and quiet before she heard a loud explosion erupt from outside shaking their home. Startling them both.
Y/n with wide eyes ran towards the door, looking outside to see what the commotion was. When she stepped outside all she saw was chaos.
Keeping a tight hold of Miguel, she made her way to one of her neighbors for help. Y/n rushed towards their door knocking urgently. When she realized, the neighbor wasn't going to open the door, she slowly opened it, peaking inside. What she saw terrified her to the bone, almost dropping Miguel from her arms.
Miguel must have felt her anxiety which made him cry.
The explosions and cries coming from the town were no help either.
The bird looking man, with big muscles, turned towards the noise in front of the door. In an instant rushing towards her, with the neighbors' organs still in his hands.
Y/n stifled back her scream and stumbled out of the doorway. Crying and trying to calm Miguel at the same time as she ran outside, trying to go back to her house to hide. What Y/n failed to notice was how other creatures who looked like the one trying to attack her were everywhere, killing everyone.
The creature following her was catching up to her quickly. Y/n was desperately trying to get away, trying so hard to run as fast as she could, but her little legs could only take her so far. Her heart trying to jump out of her ribcage for how scared she was.
The creature was reaching towards her back with big claws.
Screaming in fear when she felt a hot wave graze her back, Y/n turned around afraid this creature was going to burn her and her little brother alive. However, luckily Rosalinda was the one to use her fire quirk, running towards her trembling little body.
"Y/n!" Rosalinda, kept using her pyro quirk, fire shooting out of her hands aimed at the creature who almost killed Y/n and Miguel.
The creature was rolling around on the ground in pain. Screeching loudly and smelling like burnt flesh.
Rosalinda not giving it any mind, made a beeline for Y/n while it was distracted. Grabbing Miguel out of her hands once she was close and gripping on to Y/n with her other hand. Quickly making an escape from the creature.
"Ro..ssie" Y/n hiccupped. "En donde están mis papas?" She was scared to know the answer, it was clear since it was Rosalinda who came for her and not them.
"Perdoname... perdoname..." Was all Rosalinda could mutter. She'd seen a lot of people be taken by those things. She wasn't sure who was left anymore. "Tenemos que seguir, no podemos parar."
"Pero...mis pap..." Little Y/n cried harder from what this meant. She was scared, so terrified she would never see her parents again.
