        You sat down at the counter with the belt splayed out in front of you. It looked like a normal belt for the most part besides some small metal cylinders that were connected to the belt. You took one of them and inspected it for a moment.

After a moment you figured out how to open it and you rejoiced at your victory. Inside was a small roll of bandages which was a relatively boring thing to find. You unrolled the bandages to see how long they were just as anyone would. They were longer than you thought they'd be, stretching nearly double the length of the counter which was pretty impressive for such a small canister.

You realized your mistake as soon as you finished unraveling the bandage. You knew there was no way you were going to get this back into the little metal tube but you tried anyway. You rolled the bandages as tightly as you could with pure determination in your soul. But even with all your determination, you couldn't manage to fit them back into the container.

Eventually giving up and opting to wrap yourself in the bandage instead. Wrapping one of your arms completely before bursting into flames and watching the bandages disintegrate. That was probably both your favorite and least favorite part of your quirk. Nobody could attach anything to you but you also couldn't attach anything to yourself either which made it almost impossible to fight when you were injured.

There were always fireproof options but you didn't have the money or the connections for that. Speaking of money, you were reminded of the fact you needed to make a plan to get yourself some. You knew a bank heist would be pretty cliche but it'd get you the cash you needed. Even though you paraded around like you were big stuff your monetary situation left a lot to be desired. You'd sunk a lot of your cash into your hideout and costume not leaving much for literally anything else. But on the bright side, you legally owned the dump of a hideout you were staying in along with all of the utilities.

You put the belt with the rest of your costume, excited to wear it out on your next excursion. Then you went to grab your laptop. It was research time, and you wouldn't be leaving your kitchen counter for the next couple of hours. You set up your laptop along with a notebook and started your research, leaving no virtual rock unturned.

It was late when you were finally satisfied with your research. You'd found out about a small bank that was pretty out of the way and seemed relatively unguarded. You'd still need to case the place but for now, there was nothing else you could do. And because of that, you headed straight to your bed.

It was still messy from the last time you'd slept in it but you didn't care. A bed was a bed and it was a hell of a lot better than sleeping on the ground. It wasn't long before you were sound asleep and having a blissful time.

This restful break was rudely interrupted by your phone alarm going off at full volume. Of course, this was your doing but it still didn't diminish the unpleasantness of it all. You stretched and got out of your bed to get changed.

You changed into your most unassuming clothing. Putting on a wig and sunglasses just to be safe. Luckily, today was pretty sunny and you wouldn't look out of place. You made sure to put on a mask before heading out. Anonymity was important even if you were going to be casing a place you knew didn't have many security cameras. You also incorporated Shoto's belt into your outfit just for the hell of it. It took you a second to adjust it properly but once it was on you started on your way.

You confidently walked into the bank, taking notice of where all the security cameras were. You acted as though you had business here, walking up to the one counter with a person behind it. "Good afternoon, I'd like to make a deposit," you said, not wasting any time.
