Violet point of view

We are all sitting round the dinner table, having Chinese takeout. No one said a word since the incident where we got arrested only one of us that's making any noises Jack Jack the rest of us are just eating and playing with our food. Unsure about what to do Mum is trying to pretend like everything is okay, but I know it's not and I'm pretty sure my little brother can see it too.

Izuku trying to lighten the mood: well on the positive side of today, no one was hurt

Dash: yeah, except everyone thinks we are responsible for the damages, but seriously what happened two weeks ago we save the city from a giant robot and people were applauding us. Now we save people from falling debris and they blame us for the problem. I mean really what happened

Mum: dash is a different situation, and it's a lot more complicated than you're making it out to be Izuku we should be thankful that no one got hurt

Thankful Right I'm not the type of person that wants to seek out attention, but seriously would it kill them just to say thank you for saving all our lives or not throwing us in jail because they think we are responsible for the damages: should we be thankful that we got thrown in jail too, or the fact that now superheroes have left defend for themselves after everything you and Dad did for the city they just throw you out why!?

Expecting Mum to answer, but to my surprise Izuku: look, I may not know where I am from or who I am, but I'm fairly certain that being a hero is not exactly the way you see it in the movies or comic books. It's hard and it's not just about saving lives. It's about dealing with the repercussions of whether you win or lose those people that were before us were thankful because they were scared of the giant robot and we got rid of it that made them thankful for a time being, but today, I guess it was different today. They were afraid of us because we are something they don't understand. Open air perspective heroes outlaw means that they don't get paid for helping people anymore, so they see a group of superpowered beings trying to help others for no apparent reason. Obviously they would think we have ulterior motives whether or not we do it's just their perspective if people don't tend to do something for free specially risking your life

Dash: what is the point if no one's going to think that we are heroes and we're just gonna end up in jail anyway why are we bothering to help them?

Izuku: because it's the right thing to do, regardless of what people think, or what they do, we save lives. Let's just be happy with that it doesn't matter what they're causing us. We know we're heroes and that's good enough

I guess he's right, how petty would we have to be to ask for conversation: right I guess you have a point still, doesn't mean, I have to like it though...

Mum: alright, that's fine now everyone just eat your dinner

And that's what we did in complete, and total silence, we finished eating our Chinese takeout clean the dishes, and I'm left thinking that maybe being a hero isn't as easy as I thought it was still Izuku makes it look like it's a breeze I mean, come on the guy barely knows anything about himself or where he comes from, and he still manages to save so many lives how does he do it? How does he manage to do all that without knowing who he is and still look really good doing it.... Wait, what did I just say to myself?

Narrator point of view

After Dash and violet along with Jack Jack had settled down elastic girl and deku took a trip outside to the pool to talk about the problems they were facing truthfully elastic girl wanted to try thinking by herself, but izuku show himself mature enough to be trusted with these kind of issues

Izuku getting straight to the point: so how bad is it really?

Elastic girl: well, if I don't get a job within two weeks, we're essentially going to be homeless... What about you any memories coming through? any at all?

Izuku shook his head: no just reef flashes of a sort, though, it's hard to tell what is real, and what is fabricated because some of the things I've been seeing, just don't seem possible It could be just some old childhood imagination that I'm confusing for my own memories

Elastic girl: oh, you mean like how sometimes people can remember going to a party that they know they never been to or something

Izuku: yeah, like that, it's hard. I can't quite tell what is real and fake. I think I grew up in an apartment building and I had a mother but I'm not sure about my dad because sometimes I see brief flashes of someone with blonde hair and who is skinny, but sometimes muscular... We don't look anything alike, but a part of me deeply respect him.

Elastic girl: it could be someone you deeply respect, or if someone you see as a father figure, but I do admit the fact that he goes from skinny to muscular and some of your memories. It does seem like it's more fabricated than real.

Izuku: enough about my memories, what are you gonna do, are you going to get a job? I can try to get one if it help

Elastic girl: that's sweet of you, but you don't remember who you are. You don't know where you come from. You don't have any ID or history that we know of I don't think anyone would hire someone that has no history

Izuku: I guess you're right, but what else can we do even if you did get a job within two weeks, I don't think you'd be able to get a job that pays you enough so that we could stay in the motel

The to look at each other and then went back to thinking little. Did they know that the answer to all their problems was quite literally walking up to them as they spoke.
