The Hourglass Heroes (Discontinued)

Sludge Vs Slime

("I made a slight rewording in chapter two for those who read it when it first came out. ")

Izumi just stared at the wall where the strange man walked through. She turned her head to the sludge villain, that was now an ice-statue. Remembering what the man had said, she pulled out her phone to call the cops, but all of a sudden the manhole-cover flew into the air and a muscular man stood there.

"HAVE NO FEAR. FOR I AM... HERE?" He got a questioning look as he saw the frozen villain. Then he saw Izumi. "YOUNG LADY. DID YOU DO THIS?" He asked while pointing at the villain.

"Y-y-you're A-all Might." said Izumi with stars in her eyes. 'OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, IT'S THE REAL ALL MIGHT.' She thought. Then she registered what All Might had asked and remembered something. "As long as you don't have an ice quirk they can't charge you with illegal quirk usage."

Izumi started to explain what happened to All Might. "No,no. That wasn't me. I have a fire manipulation quirk. The man that stopped him had a blue cloak and what looked like an ice-breath quirk and some sort of intangibility. He left by walking through that wall over there." She said while pointing at the spot that the hooded man left.

'ICE-BREATH AND INTANGIBILITY. THAT SOUNDS LIKE...' "THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE M,O, FORE ONE OF THE HOURGLASS VIGILANTES. HE CALLS HIMSELF "BIG CHILL" IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY." All Might said.

"Wait! So the guy who saved me is a member of the hourglass vigilantes?! The most wanted people in Musutafu!?" Asked Izumi, a bit shocked. "YES. GO TO THE MUSUTAFU POLICE STATION AND ASK TO SEE DETECTIVE TSUKAUCHI. I WILL CALL HIM SO HE KNOWS TO EXPECT YOU. MEANWHILE, I WILL DEAL WITH... THIS." All Might said while looking at the frozen villain.

What none of them saw was that there was a hole on the back of the ice, out of view for the two, and that the eyes were missing.

Elsewhere

"So? Have you considered going to high school or not?" An older Setsuna Tokage asked her Fellow greenet. "I know you ran away from home and got yourself a job. Which you still refuse to tell me what it is, but you said you always wanted to be a hero right. Why not try." She said.

The two green haired teens walked through the markets to get some ingredients for dinner. Izuku, who was walking next to his friend, answered. "That's easy for you to say. You got a recommendation to UA. Who did that, by the way"

"Oh. A pro hero was visiting our school while we were doing quirk controle training and got impressed with me, and boom. I'm recomended to UA." Setsuna explained.

("I figured that, since there are some people that have a hard time controlling their quirks, schools should have a quirk control class. We also saw it in Suneater's backstory.")

Izuku smiled at that while they continued walking. Then she punched his shoulder. "Stop avoiding the question, freckles!" She said while Izuku started to massage his sore shoulder. "Ok, ok. Ow, that hurt." He said. "All the time we've known each other you have known I am quirkless. But you were the first and, so far, the only person who still wanted to even be around me." Izuku continued.

"And that doesn't stop with adults. You have no Idea how hard it was before I managed to get money for myself. Everywhere I went people said "No" as soon as they heard the word quirkless. As soon as I send in my Information to the hero course I get an email that says "We are afraid that..." Or "There are other courses..." They won't even let me try the entrance exam." He finished.

Setsuna, who always was looked down on in her class, could relate to Izuku in many ways. But what he was talking about was not one of them. "But I already have a steady income and I took a test online. I'm already at university level in most subjects. I don't really need to go to a high school." Said Izuku with a smile.
