Invisible

Chapter 7

Deku had been doing some vigilante work at night but he could only do it for a certain amount of time which really pissed him off. He kept getting calls from students that they needed help with training. He felt like he might as well give up on being a vigilante. He was on his way back to U.A. When he heard a sound of glass breaking and yelling. He searched for the noise and found a man breaking a bottle and threatening a female in an alleyway. "Gimme your cash and you will not get hurt." The man ordered. "I told you, I don't have anything on me." The girl said trying to sound tough but clearly scared. Izuku stood on the roof next to the alley and saw who he was threatening. It was one of his students. It was ashido, 'why was she off campus so late at night?' He thought. He observed the scene for a moment and looked for anything he could use to his advantage, he saw the broken glass from the bottle and with it he saw a little liquid splattered against the wall and the ground. 'Okay, judging from the amount of liquid, and the size of the bottle...he is hammered.' He thought. "C'mon you freak! Just give me your cash and you will walk away!" He ordered. Just then, something in Izuku snapped. He flashed back to his childhood 'You freak! Useless! Stupid deku! Waste of space!' He was furious, if he had one goal as a vigilante, it was to keep people from suffering like he did. He jumped in the air and landed a massive axe kick on the man knocking him out immediately. "Don't mess with one of my students." He said with venom in his voice.

Ashido was surprised, relieved, and terrified all at once. She had never seen him like that. He was wearing his mask but his eyes alone were filled with so much hate and anger. It was terrifying to be sure. He looked like a villain... "ashido...are you okay?" He said now looking worried. "Uh...y-yeah I'm fine." She confirmed. "Okay good...what were you doing out here anyway?" He asked.

"Well I was outside the dorms practicing the moves you taught me, but then I thought I should get some exercise in but I didn't want to wake anyone up so I was going to go to the gym down the street when that guy jumped me." She explained "ah...I see." He said understanding the situation.

"Well as a little test, what did you notice about your attacker. Think back to mannerisms, speech, actions, anything." He said "hmm...well he was slurring his words, when he broke the bottle a small amount of liquid splattered everywhere, and he was stumbling. All of which would imply intoxication." She said. "Ding ding ding!" He exclaimed as he picked her up and held her on his back. "Alright let's go back to the dorms and because it is the weekend, I can help you train tomorrow." He said. 'I have never touched a girl before! Was it rude of me to pick her up, am i being creepy, should I have asked first!?' He thought panicking and blushing under his mask. Once they got back to the dorms they both got ready for bed and fell asleep.

In the morning, Izuku woke up and put on some workout clothes including a t-shirt, sweatpants, and a hoodie. He went down to the dorm gym and met ashido there who was also wearing workout clothes. "Hi Sokudo!" She exclaimed. "Oh hi ashido." He said blushing. 'She looks so...good?' he thought not knowing if he phrased it correctly. "Anyway, what should I work on?" She asked looking for advice. "Well from what I have seen in videos of you fighting and training, you tend to use your quirk to slide across the ground and ultimately move faster. While that is fine and you are far from slow anyway, it would not hurt to train your speed and agility." He said. "Alright so get onto the treadmill, and I will set you up with my personal treadmill training regimen." He said kindly. She got on and began to walk at 5 mph. 5 minutes later he increased the speed for 1 minute less. Then again, and again until she reached 12 mph for 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds ended, they took a break. Ashido looked concerned and finally spoke up. "Hey uh...sokudo?" She asked "yeah ashido...what is it?" He asked back "last night, when you saved me...your eyes looked so angry, and I had never seen you like that before. What happened?" She asked "oh...w-well," he sighed "it's because he called you a freak okay. I just didn't like it and I freaked out." He said almost embarrassed. "But why, who cares if I'm called a freak? It has happened before, I can handle it." She said sounding tough.

He sighed once more. "Okay listen...I don't tell many people this but this will help you understand why I am a vigilante." He said as he sat her down and began to tell her everything...
