"Excuse me, young man?" Toshinori called out to the boy.
The boy continued walking, as if he'd never noticed.
"I'm sorry but can I talk to you?" He called again, reaching for the boy's shoulder gently.
Izuku flinched at the touch, turning around quickly. He tugged on the wire of his headphones, pulling them around his neck.
"Can I help you? Uh, sir?" He said, slowly calming down.
"So your Toshinori then."
"Yes. I ran into you the other day, remember?"
"Not particularly?"
"Okay, that's fine. It was brief. I couldn't seem to catch you, quite the disappearing act you have?" The man smiled.
"I guess so." The boy said, still unable to understand why this random guy cared.
"I work at UA, I think you'd be a good fit. Of course you'd have to take the entrance exam and all but-"
"No thanks." The boy interrupted, starting to get out of his seat.
"Young man wait!"
"What?"
"I'm sorry if I pushed boundaries, I understand I'm just a stranger who invited you to coffee."
"I don't mean to offend you, but I have no interest in going to UA sir." Izuku finished, pulling his hood up and exiting the store.
"That's not exactly how I wanted that to go." Toshinori sighed, rubbing his temples.
"SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE-"
"Shut up bitch." The man said, tying a rolled bandanna around her mouth.
Muffled screams echoed through the alley, but no one heard her.
The man dialed a number in his burner phone.
"Yeah I got her, get your ass down here before we get caught-" The man was interrupted by a swift kick to his face.
"Ow who the fuck do you think you ar-" Pausing with another kick from the other side.
He passed out after a sharp smack to the back of his head with a broken piece of wood.
Izuku pulled a zip tie out of his pocket, and attached the unconscious man to an old radiator.
"You okay?" He asked, untying the bandanna on the woman's face.
"Y-yes?"
Good, the police are on their way. He smirked before disappearing behind the building.
Izuku stayed behind, watching from a safe distance to make sure everything was fine.
The man was arrested and the woman was back with her wife, safe in their apartment.
Izuku wore the same expression as always, but he smiled on the inside, just as if he might of done when he was 3 or 4. Before everything went wrong.
MYSTERY TEEN SAVES WOMAN!!!
We've recently received this incredible video. As it appears, the woman had been kidnapped by a man involved in trafficking. Soon after we see a teenage boy rescue her, leaving the man for the police. A truly impressive feat, allowing the woman to be returned to her family and wife. The video was caught by one of the traffic cameras in the area.
*video here*
Nezu looked over the footage again. "Intriguing, I think he'd do well here. I'll track him down."
"Are you sure? He seemed pretty set on not going." Toshinori said.
"Well that's going to be decided after we approach him personally. He only sees you as an obscure man who talked to him for some reason." A small laugh followed as his fingers ran across the keyboard.
'Oh no.' Toshinori thought to himself.
"Well shit. I'm trending. This is less that ideal. At least they didn't make the correlation between me and Axis." Izuku said in the comfort of his apartment, popping another sour gummy worm in his mouth.
*Ding!*
"An email? I never get emails, the fuck?" Izuku sighed, walking towards his laptop.
Hello! My kindest regards.
Dear Midoryia, I would like to present you with a personal invitation to UA. You would be admitted on recommendation into class 1A, enrolled in the hero course. I would still like you to participate in the written exams however, should you choose to accept this invitation. Should you decline, I still hope you'll join me for a game of chess some time.
Sincerely, Principal Nezu.
"Holy shit. In on recommendation huh?" Izuku leaned back in his chair, grabbing his untraceable laptop he used for his "work".
"Let's check out the plans for the entrance exam." He smirked, his fingers gliding across the keys in a perfect algorithm.
"Robots, hmmm." He leaned towards the screen slightly. "Looks like I can disable the robot useless by disconnecting the wires under a panel in the neck plate."
"I guess part of me still wants to go to UA, but I know better than that." He said calmly, switching to his other laptop again.
Principal Nezu,
I won't be accepting your offer. Hacking into your blueprints was fun though. :)
-Izuku

Axis (old)
Fanfiction(Please note this fic is very messy and not actually complete. Another version titled Axis (new) is the one you should read first.) What does it mean to be a hero? That's a question for the ages. It seems morality loses to evil. Heroes are villain...
