Deku's Pov

Vigilante. In this world it means someone who uses their quirk to take the law in their own hands. So, what does that make me? I pondered about this as the knife slid deeper into the villain's neck with relative ease. Of course, I don't kill every villain I meet. Only the truly dangerous ones. I am the "vigilante" Shinigami. A Shinigami is part of the Japanese culture. It's a yokai of death. What the police and heroes don't know is that I don't have a quirk. So, do I qualify as a vigilante? I stood over Stain's body as I let my mind run wild. I was only broken out of my thoughts when I heard a voice. "Who are you, and whose side are you on?"

Third Pov

Shinigami was wearing a black tank top that displayed his muscles, black jeans, and a mask. He had a tool belt around his waist, which was filled with knives, guns and what looked like support gear. He also had combat boots on. The other voice, and older, male, pro hero Eraser Head. He was wearing his normal hero suit. Shinigami turned towards him and moved away from Stain. Eraser Head stared at the body, and immediately became on guard. He called for back up.

Deku's Pov

I could already hear the cop sirens and the footsteps of the other pros. I left my call sign, which is a paper crane, and tried to leave. "Stop." Eraser Head called out. I stopped, and dodged just before Eraser Head could punch me in the stomach. Obviously, I had forgotten about his scarf, because he grabbed me with it and threw me against the wall. I felt the impact shoot up my spine. The pain. I quickly recovered and dodged again. The scarf flew at my face, and I ducked. I felt the debris hit my back because of the impact. I spotted a sewer lid a few feet away from me. I have to escape. Unfortunately, I had taken my eyes off my opponent. I realized my mistake when Eraser Head's scarf made contact with my chest. I heard my ribs crack, and the sound resonated off the walls. I spit out a fountain of blood and sank to the ground. My mask was still on, so I was suffocating on my own blood, but if I took my mask off Eraser Head would know my identity. I can't move, so he'll find out anyway. I lifted the mask and watched the blood pour out.

Eraser Head's Pov

I watched Shinigami lift his mask, and I watched the blood drip. Oh god. I hit him way too hard. I then got a glimpse of his face. I thought he was a short adult while fighting him, but now I see I was way off. "You're a teenager..." I said, curiously. "Yeah, turned 14 this year." I felt my mouth drop open. He's only 14. I watched him kill a man, and he did it without hesitation. What happened to this poor kid. The sound of police sirens, reminding me of the others. Should I leave him? He's only 14, he has time to change. I made my decision. I picked up the kid and hid him somewhere. Then, the others showed up, and I made a story up about him escaping. When the cops and other pros left, I found the boy again. He was passed out from his broken ribs.

Deku's Pov

My side hurt. The pain was excruciating, but I moved anyway. I opened my eyes, and I didn't recognize where I was. I was in a room with gray walls and a nightstand. There was a carpet on the floor. It was white, and fluffy. I saw a window, and I opened it. I was getting ready to jump out when I heard a shout. "Wait!" I turned around to see Eraser Head, out of uniform. "Let's talk." He pointed to the bed I was on and I sat down. My ribs felt like they were on fire from all the movement.

Aizawa's Pov

This kid was interesting. He was still moving around with 2 broken ribs, no medical attention, and he's still on guard. "What's your name?" I asked. He looked at me suspiciously, then said "Shinigami." I looked at him until he finally said, "Fine, I'm Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand like he wanted me to shake it. I took his hand and said, "Shota Aizawa, also known as the pro hero Eraser Head." Midoriya looked at me like I was dumb. "Yeah, I know."

Deku's Pov

"You live with Hizashi Yamada, aka Present Mic. You also live with your adopted son, Hitoshi Shinso, who's going into the hero classes of UA." He stared at me, surprised. "How do you know that?" I shrugged. "Studying." Aizawa looked at me strangely. He opened his mouth, ready to say something, but before he could speak, I said, "Now, I need to go so we'll see each other soon." With that, I left, leaving behind a confused Aizawa.

Aizawa's Pov

I watched the kid walk out. He was terrifying. What would he do with that information? Who would he sell it to? I had to follow him. I tailed him down a couple of roads until we came to a building. It looked run down and abandoned, and dangerous, like it could collapse in any minute. Midoriya walked inside, and I followed him. The inside was well constructed, but there were parts of machines everywhere. I stared at the room in aw, still hidden in the shadows.

Deku's Pov

I walked over to my computer screen, which was on a desk in the middle of the clutter. I pulled my machine close to me a pulled up the blueprints for it. I was working on a headset. The headset looked like those high tech scopes they have in movies, where it had one lens and attached around their head. The lens was meant to store information, pick up heat signals, zoom in, listen in on conversations farther than I could hear by myself, and a bunch of other things. Of course, the device was voice activated, and I named the A.I. that resides in it Cancer. I felt the name was fitting, considering my vigilante name. I needed to take it for a test run, but I knew Aizawa followed me. Oh well, guess he's coming with me. "Time to go jump roof tops." Then I left my lab to test my creation.

Hi guys. I know these chapters aren't really that long, and I'm sorry for that, but it looks a lot longer written out in the edit area of wattpad and paper. This story started out on paper, so I edit it as I go. Sorry for any mistakes I might make while typing it out, I'm usually in a rush. I update on Fridays, and maybe the occasional odd update.
