Beautiful tragedy (fallen angel deku AU)

chapter 4

and thats how I got here, back on earth and not dead after a fall that wasnt supposed to be survivable and seeing 4 gods occasionally who havent spent over a few hours on earth before they met me.

life's gift was a warehouse they found where I now live, deaths gift was my vigalante costume which is fire proof, electric proof and also somehow bulletproof. I would question it but I literally met god so I dont think I have the right to. gods gift was my mutant quirk which was absolutely agonising to receive but I can now help people so I dont mind.

lucifer's gift was another quirk, I can now turn into a cat.

his reason?

he just wanted to see me as a cat.

thats the only reason, not for its practical use. it has been really handy though as ive been able to sneak into villains bases easier and the UA barrier doesn't count small animal signatures as a threat so I wander around UA and check out everyone's quirks occasionally, I even sometimes go on small school trips with them as I just hide in the luggage rack.

ive been a vigalante for two years now and its almost time for the UA entrance exams ive made a tradition of watching. ive seen it 3 times since, the first time was as I was getting use to my wings so I decided I would see if there was any people with wing quirks who will maybe be ok with helping a little 11 year old they see struggling with their quirk which looks similar to theirs.

yes, I may or may not have found someone and used how short I am to my advantage. all I did was practice my quirk in a park I knew they passed every time they went home, they were actually really nice and even helped put the healing cream on my back where my skin use to be super sensitive after growing my wings. their in UA now and I had to run from them during their internship which was fun as they didnt know it was the kid they helped a year or two ago.

I dont have a phone but whenever I see him in my civilian persona I say hi, they introduce me to some of the heros they occasionally work with when their on their internships because i accidentally let slip how much i loved heros while i was talking to them one day. they find it hilarious how i devolve into a stuttering mess like i was the first time we met, stuttering still wasnt a habit i was able to kick along with muttering. ive been compromised a few times while i was watching some villian or hiding from the police because of my muttering.

going to the UA entrance exams was easy as the barrier was disabled, the intruder sensors were deactivated in the areas where the examinees were meant to be and every year i was able to get into the spectator room as they were somehow dumb enough to keep it unlocked and make sure i memorise where the cameras are. its luckily i did because there were some new cameras this year and the blind spots were very limited.

all i had to do was access one of the computers in the room and id get a copy of the written exam which i would do on top of the building in a blind spot while i wait every year. i use up the same amount of time they do and try my best to think of how they would mark it but i probably had a bias towards myself so i would cut off points when my score felt too high. i probably only got only a third the answers right the first time and ive probably got a few marks progress from my last score these years as im self taught so i doubt i would get over 50% any year. i even had the benefit of knowing what kind of questions they asked but then again i have no idea about the right answers.

i started on the exam the exact time i knew they started and used the entire 3 hours, i was done quicker than i expected so i checked my answers around 5 times before i got too bored of that so started just writing notes on some of the quirks i saw in the line-up this year.

nezu POV

i was enjoying watching the vigalante known as '天使の羽を持つ悪魔' or 'devil with angel wings' in English but we shortened it to '堕天使' or 'fallen angel', he prefers we use the japenese which is pronounced daten-shi. but the author will reference to his vigalante name as datenshi because they are lazy.

thanks nezu, now i need to find a contractor who will fix the fourth wall! they all now give me discounts for being a repeat customer!

anyway, I am spectating a well know vigalante who appears to have set up a small picnic in one of the 'blind spots'. for the past three years we've been catching glimpses of something which looks to be a toxic or neon green according to some of the staff who were arguing over what kind of green it was every year and we believed it had malicious intent. the first year we caught a glimpse we just decided that we would move the cameras around but they still somehow managed to avoid them.

we deducted that they had somehow gotten into the viewing room so this year we set up a trap where we would place some of the less detectable cameras in the blind spots and send a live feed to some of the staffs phones which we would use as mini monitors to occasionally spectate him too. we also put a camera in the viewing room which is connected to my phone, I got the alert that there was movement detected about 20-30 minutes before the written exam started.

aizawa wanted to go and catch who we learned to be a vigalante immediately as he has been on his case since he was the only pro hero he actively talked to. it was also weird how he interacted with the police department, even risking his identity to save some of them. he became known as the guardian angel of the police which is why none of them made any further move to get more pro heros on the case, he was harmless except for the few occasional pranks he pulled on them. but even then they didnt do much harm and just brightened up their day, I know of this vigalante as one day aizawa walked into work with glitter covering him.

I still havent forgiven him for the random specks of glitter I still find in my office. he had repeatedly gotten covered in glitter and purposely tried to deposit some in my office after I couldn't stop smiling at him the last few times he discussed the situation. aizawa did not want me on the case so I just hacked into the police database to see whenever new reports of him came in. the vigilantes antics have become a source of entertainment for me and I wish to thank him personally so you can imagine my surprise when he took his hood off to reveal a boy who looked about the right age to take the entrance exam.
