18 years. 18 years have passed since the great war against the notorious villain, All for One and Shigaraki Tomura. But have things really gotten better? Perhaps, for a few. But not for everyone. Asuka looked over Kamino, the lights of the city were beautiful. It wasn't like how they were described in the books. Accordingly, before the League of Villains, it was way more...peaceful? quiet? Well, one thing is for sure, there wasn't as much tourism and advanced technology. A loud buzzer sounded. It's nothing. Just a large villain alert. For civilians to escape. But for Asuka, this buzzer meant an opportunity. The opportunity to watch Pro heroes fight villains. She grabbed her messenger bag with her red scaled tail and stretched her crimson red wings. Pulling her mask up and her red visors down, she took off into the air. She remembered watching old videos on a former No.2 Hero, Hawks. Or now better known as HPSC's head director, Keigo Takami, who was now quirkless due to the great war that went down years ago. She remembered watching how fast the hero flew in the videos. How quickly he solved mysteries and stopped robberies. How stealthy and fast he was during fights with villains. Sure, she knew a lot about him before and after he became quirkless. But he wasn't really her favorite. Close, but no. Asuka landed on a company's roof. Namely, Lightly Lab. She sat down quietly, and carefully as loud booms and crashes sounded beneath her. Asuka looked over the edge. Let's see who we have tonight.... Explosion Murder God 'Dynamight', Currently ranked 15. Red Riot, Currently ranked 12. Chargebolt, Currently ranked 44. Shoto, currently ranked 2. and.... Deku. Asuka's eyes widened as she immediately reached for her notebook. Finally...she got to see pro hero Deku in action again! Sure..she heard a lot about him from Kanji, but seeing him up close is another thing. She scribbled and wrote in her notebook, her writing getting more frantic and quick by the second. This was natural for her. It’s fine. She was trained for this. There’s no need to stop just because you’re tired. Keep writing…Just keep writing. It’s for your own good. Keep…On…Writing…
Snap
..The pen broke. Asuka stared at the pen blankly. …She overdid it again..She sighed quietly and pulled out a new pencil. That’s the 3rd one this week. She looked back down at the now cuffed villain. The Air Conditioning Hero slowly melting the ice away while talking to the Explosive Hero. The Stun Gun Hero jumped about with the Sturdy Hero while The Quirkless Hero watched them ....with a small smile on his face. Asuka stared. Funny ain’t it? The world’s greatest hero and youngest hero in history, quirkless. And yet, so many people respect him. What about her? Everyone assumed the discrimination on quirkless and mutant people lessened after the great war. And it’s true. The discrimination against mutants and quirkless people did lessen. But it was never truly gone. Those caught up with the few people who still hate quirkless and mutant people have it worse than ever nowadays.It’s not just taunting, bullying and abusing anymore. It’s slavery, human trafficking, suicide-baiting, murder and even r@ping. Society…It’s just that cruel. Humanity will never change no matter what happens. May it be the release of the League of Villain’s story or Pro Hero Deku’s Feats. Because that’s how humanity is. Ruthless. Stubborn. Arrogant. Asuka sighed and stood up, leaving the villain site before any hero spotted her. It’d be troublesome if the infamous vigilante; Hoshi, was caught sneaking and taking analysis notes on heroes. She flew off the building, making sure to fly inside the clouds to hide her appearance. After all, she wouldn’t want any heroes like The Tentacle Hero: Tentacole to spot her. It’s troublesome. It’s a good thing no heroes noticed her earlier..
Or did they?
‘You saw that right?’ ‘...yeah. On top of the roof.’ ‘The little brat really thought she was being stealthy! Why won’t you let me at her?!’ ‘Because that’s not a good idea, Bakugo.’ ‘SHUT IT ICY HOT’ ‘Kacchan.. Don’t rush it. Todoroki-kun is right. And besides, I think we should talk to her.’ ‘As if that’s going to do anything. They are a vigilante! Vigilantes are stubborn and attention-seekers!’ ‘Not all of them.’ ‘Just trust me kacchan. I’ll talk with her. And besides, if we need to take them in by force, I know someone who can without any casualties.’
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Asuka landed on a balcony and opened the glass door quietly. The apartment was quiet and dark. She went in quietly and closed the glass door gently. ‘Asuka.’ Asuka flinched and turned around quickly. ‘...uhm..hi?’ A boy, about 5’8 with black hair and crimson red eyes glanced at Asuka. He was wearing a black suit with a purple tie. Next to him, another boy about 5’6 with yellowish-orange hair and calming blue eyes. He wore a red and green sweater with blue jeans. Kazaki, the black haired boy, walked over to Asuka and knocked her head. ‘Ow!’ Kazaki crossed his arms. ‘Ow is right. Why’d you sneak out again? What if a hero catches you?’ Asuka sighed ‘I’m very careful. They didn’t see me..’ Kanji, the yellow haired boy, scowled. ‘Yeah yeah, just like how careful you were with Eraserhead.’ Asuka glared at Kanji. ‘That was one time!’ ‘It still happened.’ Asuka went for a shower while Kazaki heated up the food he left for her. Kanji went to sleep almost immediately. A few minutes later, Asuka went to sit at the breakfast counter, her head plopped down on the table. Kazaki looked at Asuka. ‘You went to watch the villain fight didn’t you?’ Asuka blinked. ‘..yeah.’ ‘And they didn’t see you?’ ‘No.’ ‘Good.’ A bowl of warm udon was placed in front of Asuka. As she dug in, she observed Kazaki. He’s always the quiet one among the three. It’s kinda reasonable. Considering his….Job. A sharp pain hit Asuka in the back of her head. ‘Quit daydreaming and eat your udon.’ Asuka turned to look at Kanji. ‘Whatever. You didn’t need to karate chop my head, also, weren't you sleeping?!’ ‘I got thirsty.’ The noise in the apartment continued. But it didn’t affect anyone in the building. Everyone knew the three were always like this. Superb energetic during both day and night, except Kazaki of course. And Kanji if he had a long training. In everyone’s eyes, Kazaki was a tired older brother of the two who took care of them day and night. Kanji was the active and ambitious hero-in-training while Asuka was the cheeky little sister. At least, that’s how everyone sees it. Nothing is ever as it seems. And well, I bet you all know the sayings ‘Wolf in Sheep’s clothing’ and ‘Never judge a book by its cover.’ After all, no one would expect a hero-in-training, a famous vigilante and a new villain to live together under one roof. Yeah you heard me. Three completely different people living together in one house. Kanji’s quirk was an Emitter Quirk called ‘Magma’. A quirk that allowed him to generate magma from part of his body. Problem is, he doesn’t really have full resistance to it. Kazaki’s quirk was a transformation quirk he named ‘Spider Beast’, which allowed him to turn into a spider or just transform part of his body into specific spider parts. Asuka’s quirk was a mutant quirk named ‘Dragonair’, which as the name suggests, means she is half dragon. But yeah, you’ve seen their interactions, they are getting along well. So what’s so bad about it? Everything. All they need is for each other to make one small mistake, and all three of them are doomed. You read it right, doomed. All it’ll take is for Kanji to accidentally let slip that Asuka is a vigilante and Kazaki is a villain and an entire hero squad will be knocking on their doors with the police. If Kazaki’s villain friends knew about Kanji and Asuka, it would put both of them in danger of being kidnapped by other villains. If there are so many risks, why do they even bother staying together? That, my friends, is a story for another day. For now, i would like to start talking about their little trauma-filled chaotic adventure that happens a few weeks after what had happened in the previous chapter and this chapter. This is going to be a longgggg story. Alright I'll begin now.
‘18 years ago, there was a great war that happened between the hero and villains. It was treacherous, cities were in ruins and people were afraid and fighting each other. In the middle of this chaos lies 4 main “characters”.......’
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
18 years ago, during the great war between the heroes and the League of Villains, many civilians suffered from the increasing crime rates and destroyed cities. Villains on the other hand, flourished and suffered at the same time. Tartarus and many other prison’s inmates were broken out, these inmates included Lady Nagant, Muscular, Overhaul, Moonfish and All For One. The villains raided the cities, stealing and causing chaos for the civilians and refugees. And since the number of heroes have decreased greatly due to the Paranormal Liberation Front War, Heroes-in-Training and Foreign heroes had to be assigned to help out. Izuku Midoriya was one of these Heroes-in-training. But he wasn’t just there to help out. He was a valuable asset. One of the keys to help the heroes win the war against the League of Villains. Nowadays, people talk about these few ‘keys’ as legends in the war. Bakugo Katsuki, now known as Pro Hero Murder God Explosion Dynamite, the one who has experienced death and returned alive. Monoma Neito, now known as Pro hero Phantom Thief, the one who played the main supporting role of transporting the heroes to their rendezvous points and stopping shigaraki from using his quirk. Todoroki Shoto, now known as..uhm still shoto, the one who stopped dabi from causing a large explosion and bringing him down. Ochaco Uraraka, the one who stood with and against Toga, ultimately stopping her from using ‘Sad man’s parade’ from causing more chaos. And then there’s deku. It’s not like he didn’t do anything. He was amazing. The best. The pillar for new heroes to lean and look up to. Even if he wasn’t the symbol of peace. He defeated Shigaraki Tomura, never backing up even when severely injured. He was also known to have defeated Valdo Gollini, the fake All Might, Kai Chisaki, Overhaul, Nine, the ultimate Noumu experiment of Doctor Garaki, etc. During this war, many..unexpected things happened. There were over 100 deaths on the side of heroes and almost complete annihilation of the villains. Alive League of Villains members included Mr.Compress, Dabi and Spinner. All other recorded LOV members are dead. Toga Himiko sacrificed her blood for Uraraka to live. Jin Bubaigawara was killed during the paranormal liberation war by Hawks. While Shigaraki Tomura was recorded as ‘terminated’ during the end of the Final war. Spinner and Mr.Compress were already released from their captivities after about 15 years of rehabilitation. Dabi, on the other hand, was recovering slowly. Though the burns he acquired during the war were severe enough to lead him to death, he managed to pull through but was still in rehab. Other than that, a few other famous pro heroes of that time had also……passed. These heroes were Ryukyu the Dragoon Hero, Former No.10, Crust the Shield Hero, Former No.6 Hero, Midnight the R-rated Hero, Former Teacher in UA, Present Mic the Voice Hero, also Former Teacher in UA and a few more. However, the most..tragic death was Toshinori Yagi. All Might. Former No.1 hero and Former Symbol of Peace. Records say that his body couldn’t withstand the strength and pressure anymore after the fight ended. And passed peacefully in the hospital a few months after. …..Tragic ain’t it? I bet a lot of people cried for him. A lot of people admired him, looked up to him, some even considered him a father. It couldn’t be helped. That is the law of nature. Nevertheless, the future generation now have new heroes to look up to. Heroes that fought in the great war and survived. Current No.1, Lemillion, Also known as Togata Mirio, the one who bought time and distracted shigaraki during the war, also the one who supported Midoriya Izuku behind the scenes. Current No.2, Shoto. As said earlier, one of the main keys of the war. Of course, with no surprise most of the heroes-in-training who had joined the LOV war had become great heroes. Expect Grape Juice of course. No one likes him. (Hmmmmm well deserved. Though his character development was great, I’d prefer not being around someone like him) And With All For One and One for All completely gone, It is believed that the future will be better. That whatever happened 18 years ago would never happen again. That the future generation can live in peace.
Unfortunately for them, Asuka existed.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Kamino was as noisy as it ever was. The heroes patrolling through the streets, the civilians asking for autographs and pictures, villains sneaking through the alleys and blending in through the crowds, not leaving out the vigilantes who jump and run about the city. The glorious statue of All Might stood where it used to be the scene when All Might battled All for One for the second time. A little girl, about 7 or 8 years old with bull horns sticking out of her head ran to the statue, fantasizing over the great hero while her mother came behind her. ‘Ew, mutants? Keep away from us, your frantic animal behaviour might put us in danger!’ came a voice from the crowd. The little girl flinched and lowered her head, her mother instinctively rebutting the person’s comment. But to no avail, it only caused more commotion. ‘Stay out of the city!’ ‘You don’t belong here, freaks.’ ‘Don’t go near people like them, Sunji.’ ‘Ok Mom.’ ‘What a pitiful child..to be born looking like that..’ The girl’s eyes filled with tears. There were no great heroes around. Heroes like Tentacole or sidekicks like Anima. Mutant heroes who would have shut these rude civilian’s mouths in seconds. But it’s okay, most mutants have gotten used to this. When the cat isn’t around, the mice come to play. For most part, they just have to ignore the insults and leave. The girl ran to her mother, in which they turned to leave. A man looked at them angrily ‘Where do you think you’re going, you freaks? Are you going to hurt us?!’ His hand raised high, as if he were about to hit them. The hand came down, the little girl closed her eyes, bracing for the impact. Then, there was a noise. But, the land never hit? ‘Who gave you the right to go around hitting people like that?’ The girl opened her eyes to be greeted by the sight of a tall woman. Her hair was silver white, she wore a yellow scarf around her neck, her sweater, a lighter shade of yellow, dark blue platform shoes. She also had white-red horns and a red scaled tail. The girl looked up at her in awe, she had caught the man’s hand and stopped him from hitting her! The man looked at the woman angrily ‘Hey! Let go, freak!’ The woman didn’t respond, instead she hit him in the head. The man made a pained noise and retreated when she let go of his hand. ‘Is it fun?’ she asked. The man looked up, ‘...what?’ She looked up, Crimson red eyes piercing through the man’s soul. ‘I asked if you thought it was fun to get hit.’ ‘Are you crazy?! Who would-’ ‘Exactly. You were about to hit a child. For existing. I think i can sue you for child abuse if i were to have let you hit her and recorded the scene. But that wouldn’t be very righteous would it?’ The girl felt her mother’s arms on her shoulders as she looked at the dragon woman. Who was she? She’s so cool.. The dragon woman turned to the crowd. ‘Do you think this is fun? To gossip about mutants? To watch them get tortured? Even though we all have our beloved few mutant pro heroes?’ Whispers and murmurs were heard in the large crowd, as many started leaving the scene, agreeing to the woman’s logic and stopped bothering the girl and her mother. The man was dazed, lost in thought, not noticing the dragon woman approaching him. ‘...You’re lucky I was the one who found you here today. At this hour.’ Her voice turned into a whisper not even the little girl could hear, but she knew it was probably something very scary because the man immediately flinched and turned to get away. The crowd surrounding them cleared and everything was back to normal. The dragon woman approached the little girl and kneeled down to her level. ‘Hey there kiddo. You alright?’ The little girl nodded her head ‘mhm! …ah uhm…My name is Isobe Ryoko! Thank you for saving me and my mommy!’ The dragon woman chuckled softly ‘Bright Child.’ ‘What?’ ‘Your name. It means bright child. I think it's a wonderful name. It suits you. You seem like a giant ball of energy.’ Isobe laughed softly. This is the first time anyone has said that to her. ‘Thank you…uhm..What’s your name miss?’ A small but pretty and warm smile greeted Isobe as the dragon woman replied. ‘Hoshi. Call me Hoshi.’
________________________________
Finally. Away from the crowds. It’s a good thing she stopped that man quickly..otherwise that little girl… Asuka sighed, hopefully that little threat can stop him from repeating what he did today. ‘If you were to meet me at night, you wouldn’t even be alive. I’m letting you live now. If I see you do something like this again… get ready to meet your great grandparents.’ She had told him. Was that too threatening or scary? Probably..the man looked like he’d seen a ghost. She walked through the alley way, the mice glancing and running away from her. Kazaki leaned against the wall and looked at her. ‘Could never let any mutant hater go hm?’ ‘How can I?’ He pushed himself off the wall, and gestured to her to follow. ‘You’re lucky I know these routes like the back of my hand. Otherwise, you’d be more than lost.’ Asuka internally rolled her eyes as she walked next to Kazaki. ‘Mhm. And I’m lucky you’re such a great informant, big brother.’ Kazaki sighed ‘When are you going to stop calling me that?’ ‘Never’ What was the girl’s name again? ..Right, Isobe Ryoko. That’s a nice name. Not that her’s was not. Asuka Akazane was a nice name. Alright, maybe “Akazane” sounds a little weird as a family name, but it is what it is. In her name, “Asu” meant Bird. “Ka” meant flying. “Aka” was Red. While “Kazane” was Wind and Tranquility/Peace/Calmness. It wasn’t a bad name at all. The only reason she disliked it was because of how few people would say. The people she hated with her life. The people who she made saw red. Putting that aside, she had to focus back on following Kazaki around the dark underground villain world. Vigilante duty calls, and she isn’t going to fail Eraserhead since he had trusted her just to the point to ask her for this favor.
~Flashback to a few days ago~
‘Remember when you told me you had a friend who was a villain?’
Asuka blinked, That’s weird. Eraserhead usually doesn’t like talking about…unless..
‘Erm..yeah? Why?’
‘...This may be a little weird. But I need a favor.’
Asuka almost fell from the edge of the roof, because DID ERASERHEAD JUST ASKED FOR A FAVOR?! Eraserhead looked at her and sighed.
‘Calm down kiddo. It’s just a small favor. Nothing too big. Maybe you can start building back up some of the trust you lost for hitting that civilian.’
‘I thought he was a villain!’
‘You gotta look careful at what he wears.’
‘He was literally wearing a black jumpsuit with multiple pockets, a gas mask on his belt and holding a briefcase! He’s suspicious in every way!!’
‘And what was in his briefcase were cleaning supplies.’
‘AND BLOOD!’
‘He’s a crime scene cleaner, Hoshi.’
Asuka was never always on good terms with Eraserhead. The opportunity to talk to the sad lonely underground hero only comes once in a while. Sometimes he wouldn’t show up on his patrol days due to his students in UA. Sometimes, he just felt like it and decided he wanted to try to arrest her and get her to do rehab. It's a good thing she decided to hide her identity.
‘Just listen,’ Eraserhead said after another tired sigh ‘I need you to get your villain friend to gather information on this specific villain’ Asuka nodded ‘Oh I see. That should be no problem. He’s always available to help me. Who is this specific villain?’ ‘Zenith.’
Zenith? As in the Zenith? Zenith as in Kodama Yuu? One of All For One’s Henchmen? The one who helped him organise the Underground Masquerade and started the gruesome Underground Marketplace of Musutafu? That’s…going to be a little hard. But it’s okay. It’s just getting some information right? So, she accepted his request.
~End of Flashback~
Actually now that she thinks about it, it was a stupid idea to agree. Maybe she should have just said no and maybe respond to why by dancing around the actual reason. It’s too late now. She felt a small nudge directed at her arm and snapped back to reality. Kazaki looked at her with a raised eyebrow. ‘Are sure you can do this? I mean, I know you technically begged me to help you with this, but you do remember this man-’ ‘I remember. And I’m sure of it. I just need information.’ ‘....Alright. But if anything happens, we’re getting out. Immediately.’ Asuka nodded. Fair enough. Kazaki is right to worry. After all, even with how brave and strong Asuka is now, Kodama Yuu, Zenith, was her greatest nightmare.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Asuka walked in the Marketplace, following closely behind Kazaki. Kazaki was wearing his usual black filter gas mask that covered his mouth and nose, while she wore her usual vigilante face mask. She couldn’t help but notice how the place never changed. It was still the same old smelly, rotten and corrupted place. The stalls on the left, piled with cages filled with mutant quirked individuals, stalls on the right selling illegal drugs like trigger. The shouts of villains cheering on their….pawns? Bets? Well, the children in the cage fight. You heard me, children in cage fights.
The Underground Marketplace was famous in the villain world for this. Villains and criminals would capture their preferred individuals. Kids with powerful quirks, Mutant kids, or just any other kid they want to see get injured and hopefully die. It’s cruel, as I’ve already said, Society is just
cruel
.
Asuka felt a hand on her shoulder. Kazaki looked at her and passed her a Volto Venetian Mask. She took it without question. Kazaki sighed ‘Can't have anyone recognise you, just using your face mask alone isn’t enough…You good?’ Asuka nodded as she put the mask on ‘m’fine.’
She isn’t.
They walked deeper into the Underground Maze, eventually stopping a large concrete reception. The man behind the tiny cage glared out, a rough voice asking ‘Who the hell are you.’ Kazaki looked back at the man and gave a nonchalant response. ‘I have an appointment with Zenith.’ ‘Oh. Arachnor?’ ‘In the flesh.’ The Iron door that blended in and hid beside the reception opened as Asuka followed Kazaki in slowly.
‘I just need to stand there right?’
‘Yea. He won’t question me. Don’t do anything suspicious, like flinching or glaring.’
‘I won’t. For your information, I have a sense of self-preservation.’
‘Good to know.’

Aizawa walked into his office and sighed as he dropped into his chair. Midoriya, smiling and waving to him. ‘Good Morning Sensei!’ ‘Stop calling me sensei, Midoriya. We’re colleagues.’ ‘Oh- right..It’s well, just a habit.’ Aizawa nodded and sat up straight, opening his drawer and finding a small package with a note. “I got the Info you asked for! - Hoshi”
Aizawa groaned quietly, of course she just had to somehow be able to get into UA and put the package in his drawer. Midoriya looked at the package. ‘..Who’s Hoshi?...
insert midoriya’s dramatic gasp here
..Are you moving on?!’ Aizawa had to resist the urge to just wrap Midoriya up in his capture weapon and leave him there for the rest of the day, but he couldn't. So he hit that little messy green boy hard in the head instead. ‘No. It’s just some information I asked someone to get me.’ Midoriya massaged the area he got hit. ‘Oh…who’s it on?’ ‘Ever heard of Zenith?’ Midoriya blinked to himself for a few seconds and shook his head. ‘Can you tell me about him?’ Aizawa looked at Midoriya as he tried to do that trick with his eyes again. …..sigh..Why is he still such a problem child even though he’s in his twenties now? ‘..why not?’
‘A few years ago, there was this small event that All For One would host. This event was called the Underground Masquerade. It was an illegal event that organizes guerilla fighting tournaments where pit fighters fight each other and run the books for the betting audience. Quirks, Weapons, Drugs are allowed to be used, so it’s as if there are no rules at all. There actually is a rule, only one,and it’s that all attendees must wear a mask that covers their face. However, it was then brought down by Pro Heroes Mirko and O’Clock, as well as the assistance of a police officer. All For One doesn’t host the event personally, so he has his other trusted followers to host it. The one that assists All For One in this event is a man who goes by the name Kodamma Yuu, also known as “Zenith”. After the incident that happened in the Underground Masquerade, Zenith opened up a new Underground Facility for the Villains, called The Underground Marketplace. Similar to The Underground Masquerade, all who enter must wear a mask covering some part of their face that makes them unrecognizable. However the difference is that this facility is available 24/7, 365 days. Criminals and Villains buy licenses from Zenith to sell drugs or perform Human trafficking. Drugs like Trigger and the Quirk Erasing one from last time are rare drugs they sell there. Not to mention, they have their very own..everyday cage fight. Victims, mostly children between ages 7 to 18 are put in a cage and forced to fight each other. Those who don’t fight, are terminated. Killed on the spot for the audience’s satisfaction. An Annual Auction also happens, auctioning stolen artifacts, jewels, equipment, or sometimes, individuals who have mutant or powerful quirks. The existence of this Underground Marketplace was not known until a few years ago, when someone tipped off its existence to the police and the police started interrogating the criminals for information.’
Midoriya as he listened in ‘That’s a…very big load of information.’ Aizawa nodded ‘Don’t get yourself involved in this kid. I don’t think I need to treat you like how I did back when you were a student.’ ‘Sensei…’ ‘Till the end of my life, you’re still such a problem child.’
_____________________________________________________
Later on…
As Midoriya walked out of the school, bidding goodbye to a few students, notably Kota and his friend, Todoroki greeted him at the school gates. ‘Izuku. How was today?’ Midoriya chuckled ‘It was fine as usual. Where’s Kacchan?’ ‘He had some emergency at the agency.’ ‘Of course he did.’ Todoroki blinked, lost in thought for a good while as they walked back to their shared apartment. ‘..Remember that vigilante that we saw a few weeks ago?’ ‘Oh, the one that perched itself on Hatsume’s precious baby building?’ ‘...Yeah that one.’ ‘Okay..What about them?’ ‘I think I have a lead on them. We just need to go find Mr.Tsukauchi to confirm it.’
Midoriya nodded. Of course. Mr Tsukauchi had been the one to keep track of almost all the vigilantes, always asking Aizawa-sensei to catch up and follow them, try to get them in rehab or just entirely stop them from committing vigilantism. They didn’t even know the vigilante’s name yet. There were quite a number of vigilantes in Japan, and the three pro heroes hadn’t caught any eye catching detail about the particular vigilante they were looking for. So looking for them would be tough. Then again,
‘Midoriya, you’re muttering again.’
Midoriya flinched, did he think his thoughts out loud?
‘Ah! Sorry todoroki-kun..’
‘It’s fine. And you’re right. We didn’t really catch anything standing out about the vigilante, which does make them harder to find. Or, we can just scout out the vigilante at night.’
Midoriya sighed, ‘I don’t have a quirk? And I’d be too tired for that…’
‘Yeah but you still have that suit Bakugou gave you, no?’
‘That won’t help me with my low energy levels todoroki-kun..’
‘....I’ll get you coffee.’
‘...fine.’
