City S No POV

Wade was just a young 15 year old boy that had black hair with red tips, fair skin, red eyes wearing a red T-shirt with blue jeans and black tennis shoes minding his own business as he just bought a burger and was currently eating it while the bag floated behind him giving some attention from others around him as he walks past.

Wade doesn't really live anywhere, he just travels around the cities like a Nomad. He often stops muggers and bank robbers with his Esper powers and takes the money from their wallets. This way he is able to have food on his tummy and can even wash the very little clothes he has on public laundry places. He showers in public bathrooms.

Due to him being an Esper, the Hero Association had their sights on Wade for months but they don't openly try to recruit him. Wade hasn't shown more power other than restraining criminals, lifting objects in the air and flying. He has never shown any powerful attacks like Fubuki and Tatsumaki in all the time they have been watching him so they had no reason to recruit him yet.

Fubuki and Tatsumaki heard of this Esper child and went to find him themselves, Fubuki told her group to split up to cover more ground and find this Esper child and Tatsumaki flew around the cities to find him.

The one problem? Neither of them knew how Wade looks. So they were just searching for any signs of an Esper.

Wade was currently in City S eating his burger, not his favorite food but still enjoyable, until a monster landed in front of him and it looked like a demonic bunny that had its mouth bloodied as it was holding the corpse of a civilian and a civilian that was frightened. Wade just looked at the demonic bunny and it roared at his face but Wade just flicks his finger and the demonic bunny's upper torso exploded and the man landed safely on the ground thanks to Wade lowering him down.

Wade walked away after cleaning the mess and one of the civilians reported it to the Hero Association. Wade just kept moving as to him it was just another day.

This was all the Hero Association needed to try to recruit Wade as he just killed a Demon Level Monster with just the flick of a finger and that was instantly S-Class level. However they couldn't do the traditional recruiting like giving the individual gifts to persuade them to join since Wade had no where to store them or had any use for them so they tried the next best thing: send a Hero to recruit them. Who they sent out of all the S Class Heroes?

Tatsumaki. Why? Because she's also an Esper.

Tatsumaki flew to where Wade was in City S and landed in front of him.

Tatsumaki: are you the Esper?

Wade: yeah?

Tatsumaki: you don't seem all that special.

Wade: says the woman who looks like a girl.

Tatsumaki: how dare you! I'm gonna teach you some manners!

Tatsumaki was about to unleash a destructive wave of ESP but Wade snapped his fingers and Tatsumaki was restrained by an aura of red.

Tatsumaki: what?!

Wade: let's not fight here, you will endanger the citizens.

Tatsumaki; you... you...

Wade: I know the perfect spot!

Wade started flying away as Tatsumaki was dragged along and they both ended up in a canyon where it was bare on the bottom. (The canyon both Genos and Saitama fight on later in the story) Wade landed and lowered Tatsumaki down gently letting her free.

Tatsumaki: how did you do that?

Wade: do what?

Tatsumaki: I'm the most powerful Esper on the planet! Yet you were able to restrain me with no problem! How?!
