The Unexpected Hero

Shopping

I was right. The moment I opened the door Danny flinched and turned into what I was assuming was his hero mode.

"Nope. Back to the t-shirt and jeans. I'm not fighting an army for you." I told him seriously.

"What! But i'm vulnerable like this!" He cried.

"Welcome to civillian life. We're all vulnerable." I said with a roll of my eyes.

"How are you supposed to make sure I don't get hurt then?" He frowned.

"I do what I did the first time we met to that agent which I hopefully won't have to do this time since you will be blending in." I told him

"Fine. I trust you Dabi." He grumbled before walking out the door.

The walk to the downtown grocery store that I used was quiet and tense since Phantom kept looking around like he was ready to be attacked at any moment.

We were halfway there when I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Phantom." I sighed.

"Yes?" He asked me.

"You have to stop glaring at everyone like they are the devil in disguise. Let me worry about that. Okay?" I said with a attempt at a reassuring smile.

"I.. I know but.. I'm starting to remember all that they did to me and I don't want to go back. I'm scared." He admitted to me.

I nodded. "It's okay to be scared but you can't let them control you. You're free now. Act like it." I said while standing tall and walking into the store.

Phantom stared at me for a moment before standing alittle taller and walking in. I really did smile this time. Phantom wasn't supposed to be scared. He looked good like this. I thought as he walked ahead of me.

I smiled before walking after him and we shopped for around fifteen minutes.

We were at the line when we ran into our first problem. The problem? A hero recognized me.

"Dabi." Aizawa commented.

I smiled at him cruelly and Phantom's rings started to appear and I smacked him and he looked at me in shock.

"Remember what we talked about?" I asked him with a quirked eyebrow.

"But!" Danny whined.

"But nothing. No transforming unless we are at home. I am not fighting a army for you." I explained once again and he pouted.

"Fighting an army? Where did you get this guy Dabi?" Aizawa asked looking a bit taken back.

"None of your business Aizawa." I growled.

"If you're abducting people it is my business. I am a hero." Aizawa pointed out.

Damn. He did have a point. I didn't want to deal with Aizawa right now though so I sighed in defeat.

"Fine. I rescued him from some organization that was doing human experimentation on him." I gritted out and Aizawa looked properly horrified.

"Human experimentation!" Aizawa choked and I nodded.

"He's staying in my apartment until I can find a way to help him destroy the organization that is hunting him down." I explained to the hero.

"Do you know what they are called? Or what they did to this boy?" Aizawa asked looking fierce.

"I don't know. All I know is that he has amnesia and they appeared to be controlling him through a collar that could electrocute him. I got the collar off but now he can't remember." I explained further.

"That's horrible. Do you know if he has a name?" Aizawa asked as I started gathering up my groceries to leave.

"I.. Susumu. His name is Susumu." I told Aizawa and Phantom stared at me like I was stupid so I grabbed his hand and we left.

I knew Aizawa didn't believe the last part and that he was following me so I took a few detours which Phantom must of gotten tired of because suddenly we were both invisible. I silenced my breathing as I watched Aizawa come down the alleyway look around with his quirk activated and leave.

We both waited for a moment before Phantom dropped the cloak and I patted his shoulder.

"Good going." I muttered and then we went home.

We got home around noon which was not my plan and Phantom paused in the doorway before turning to face me.

"My name isn't Susumu by the way. I.. I think.. I used to be called Danny." He said while biting his lip and I nodded.

"Danny." I said and he nodded and I walked inside and put the groceries up.

Danny watched me the whole time and I watched him before something occured to me.

"Danny. You ever used a bathroom?" I asked him awkwardly.

He nodded. "The facility had one why?"

I sighed in the ultimate relief.

"Because I ain't teaching a grown ass man how to piss in a toilet." I snorted and his face turned red.

"You don't have to teach me everything Dabi! I'm not a kid!" Danny shrieked.

"I had to teach you how to eat." I grinned.

He just huffed before going to a corner and going hero mode and curling up like a cat. Oh hell no.

"Nope. Couch." I ordered and he stared at me in surprise.

"Couch?" He questioned.

I pointed at it and he beamed before moving to it and it wasn't long until I heard a soft snoring sound.

I took a shower after that and read the news on my phone before going to bed.
