In the Shadows

Part 7

Hizashi's POV:

After I got the call I grabbed a bag and put some clothes, blankets and pillows inside. "HITOSHI! I KNOW YOU ARE UP AND WE NEED TO GO YOUR FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" I yelled with my quirk. I know Sho isn't hurt but I can't help but worry: he was rambling and he never does that. I hear quick footsteps until my door is slammed open. "WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN PAPA'S IN THE HOSPITAL?!" Hitoshi yelled. "I'll explain the the car for now go grab a backpack and some fresh clothes cause we might stay the night. Also you might want to bring a pillow, blanket and some games now hurry!" Shit I really hope nothing bad happened to the little listener, but from what Sho was saying it sounds really bad. 

No One's POV:

The car ride to the hospital was silent, too silent. Hizashi explained what was going on and Hitoshi was trying to process what he just heard. 'The person who saved me and brought me to Dad and Papa is hurt? Like seriously hurt? But how-why? Please, just be ok so I have a chance to say thank you, thank you for saving me that say.' Hitoshi thought as he remembers the day clearly:

*Flashback*:

No One's POV:

"So, I showed you the money, where is the item?" A man dressed in all black with a hood over his face said. "It's in the back of the car, in the trunk. Let me show you." A man with purple hair said as a lady with blue hair next to him started walking over to the car. They opened the trunk to reveal a 12 year old purple haired boy who had his hands tied behind his back, blindfolded, gagged and naked. "Good, you have it. I'll take the brat and you can have the money as promised. The man in black said. "Deal, the little shit is all yours. Ya hear that brat? We finally got rid of you and your villainous quirk." The purple haired man said. Unknown to the people there, a certain vigilante was watching the events go down and had called pro heroes and police. Just before anyone could touch the young boy, Izuku jumped down and attacked the man in black.

"And just when you think you've seen it all. Hello there, friendly vigilante Shadow at your service, though it seems the odds are against you tonight huh." Izuku stated as he walked over to the couple. Before they could even move he knocked out the purple haired man and tied him up with the blue haired lady. Then he walked over to the poor boy in the car and brought down the blindfold and gag. "Hey kid, it's ok now. Imma cut these ropes so I need you to stay still ok?" Izuku said softly. "O-o-ok-ay." The trembling boy said. Izuku cut the ropes and grabbed a blanket he always carried in his backpack. He gently wrapped the poor boy in the blanket and pulled him into a hug, even if our vigilante was shorter. "You're safe now, nothing bad like this will ever happen again okay? I called some pro heroes and one of them will take care of you. I'll give you a note and I want you to give it to pro hero Eraserhead. He looks like a homeless man with a scarf around his neck and weird goggles." Izuku said, trying to control his anger towards the people hurting the boy a year older than him.

Soon sirens were heard and the vigilante pulled away from the hug. Just as he was getting ready to leave, the boy tugged on his arm. "Um, what's your name?" the boy asked looking down. Izuku thought for a second before answering, "Shadow, my name is the vigilante Shadow." And with that he left as the police cars pulled up. 

*End of Flashback*

After what seemed like a lifetime, the doctor finally came towards them. "Good evening, were you the hero who brought this young man to us?" the doctor asked while looking at Aizawa. "Yes, that's me. Is he ok?" Aizawa asks as he stands up. "He's stable for now, but I can only give his condition out to his guardians. Have they been called yet?" the doctor replied while pushing up his glasses. "His parents are in jail, I was going to be his new guardian along with my husband." Aizawa relied, eager to get the condition the young vigilante was in. "All right then, he suffered from a stab to the chest, it almost collapsed his lungs. He also suffered from a poison that is very deadly, luckily one of our nurses here can make a cure to any poison just by smelling it, so he is going to be asleep for a few days to get back his strength. Sadly we did find some self harm wounds on his arms and stomach, many scars both new and old." The doctor concluded while looking at his clipboard.

Aizawa was relieved he would be okay, but he still felt sick to his stomach. 'self harm, make a note to take away all sharp objects' Aizawa thought to himself. They asked the doctor if they could visit Izuku, and the doctor showed them to his room. When they walked inside the first thing they saw was a green haired boy with a very pale face surrounded by different machines. The only noise in the room was the constant beeping of the heart monitor. Shinso was the first to break out of the trance, slowly making his way over to Izuku until he was next to him. He carefully grabbed the sleeping males hand, almost like he was afraid of harming the greenette more.

Aizawa and Hizashi followed after, both sitting on the opposite site of their son. The vigilante had his mask off, and Aizawa saw his freckles pop out more than in the pictures, probably because he was so pale. After a while the detective came in with flowers, peony and lavender since they both mean good health. He set them at the foot of the bed, and help a sad look on his face. Someone he was trying to catch for years was so helpful to him, and as much as he hates to admit it the young vigilante grew on him. He saw him like a younger brother, and after finding out his age and past he was more determined into helping the vigilante. 

"So....what's going to happen to him?" Hitoshi asked in a small voice. He hoped his savior wouldn't go to jail, not after all he had done for him. "Well, I'm honestly not sure. He doesn't deserve to go to jail, but I'm not the one who makes those decisions. Aizawa?" Detective Tsukauchi answered before turning to Aizawa. "He'll stay with us. Nezu wants him to teach at UA, and we agreed he would stay with us." the tired pro hero answered, never looking away from Izuku's face.
