Andy had stopped going out as much. He started spending it building the shockwave pistols for the U.A. exam. He hasn't been out more during the days now when he was out. Andy started working a bit on his own gear but he knew he couldn't continue after he got into the school.

Honey shooters. They weren't really made of honey, but instead mixed chemicals and shot it out. When the mixture is combined it  makes a hard rock like solid with a warm yellow color. It would eventually break and fall apart with time so villains can be broken out easily by the police. 

It was getting colder out and heading into the winter so he doubled up his layers. His sweater changed to have yellow faux fur on it around the neck and sleeves for its cuteness. The windows were well frosted but no snow has fallen yet. The air was frozen itself and it felt like taking off his gloves would immediately freeze his hand.

Zero walked around looking at the city from a decently high building. He looked upon it, hoping that something would happen. Nothing ever did. The night was as silent as the air. Not even the distinct whooping of police sirens had come by that day. Dare he say it, but it was quiet.

He hopped around the top of the building, jumping from one to another. He looked up from the building onto the horizon to see a man laying on top of a building a bit away. He looked a bit closer to see a face he recognized but had only seen outside of costume.

He laid motionless on top of the building like a dead body. This quickly grew to concern Zero as he got closer to the building and he still didn't move. He was almost at the building when he jumped to the building he was on. Not a far jump at first but Zero quickly realized it was too far as he fell a little short.

Erasure Head sat up to see if the kid was ok. The kids' sticky gloves kept him from falling down as he pulled himself to look over the edge.

"Oh, you're ok! I thought you were dead on the top of a building" Zero pulled himself up from the ledge.

"Im fine" he laid back down on the concrete.

"I thought the jump was a bit smaller. Almost broke all of my bones" he nervously laughed.

"The building is tilted."

"Wait what" Zero looked over the edge and looked carefully at the building "oh it is..."

"Catches the new heroes all the time" his monotone voice spoke out as his breath frosted with every word.

Zero picked up an empty can and laid it on its side to confirm it wasn't just the wall but the whole wall that is tilted. It rolled from one side to the other before he stopped it and placed it back up. "Huh"

"There is nothing going on today. I get its winter but dam. Villains are lazy" Zero say on the edge of the building facing in to see the hero. "It's really q-"

Zero cut himself off before the word could be finished. Eraser Head jolts up to stop him from continuing the last word.

"Don't say the q word" He looked sternly at the vigilante.

"You know how many times I did that to myself? It took me like, 4 times to learn not to say it." He laughed under the mask at the days he did it to himself. "The whole rest of the day and night was a non-stop hell of catching villains."

"I learned the hard way not to say it. Worst day of my life." He got up from the floor and fixed his scarf up so it wasn't as loose. Zero quickly got up, preparing to dodge.

Suddenly a crash breaks the moment as glass shatters outside. Zero's hidden eyes grow wider as he realizes what he has done. He turns to Eraser Head who looks down at the commotion, then back at Zero with an annoyed look

"I'm guessing this is my problem." Zero stands up and looks over the ledge before jumping off feet first. He lands on the street and the force of hitting the ground is absorbed by the boots. The special springs bounce back and propel him forward into the action.

"What the hell is a vigilante doing here?" The villain barks out. He's huge, bigger than the vigilante, but not enough to be an unfair fight. "Fine then." He raises a sewing needle but nothing happens. He looks confused and spots the Eraser Hero glaring from on top of the building.

Zero lands a solid hit on the thick headed villain's face but it has no impact.

"That was a solid hit, why are you still standing?" Zero puts his hands on his hips like a mom, even going as far to tilt his hips and uneven his shoulders.

"I've been practicing for years, i'm not go-"

"I don't care. I physically couldnt care less about your stupid monolauge." Zero points his gauntlet up at the villain. The villain quickly holds up a needle in his fingers in a flick, preparing to throw it at him.

Eraser Head just watched from the sidelines to see what would happen. He wanted to see how this 'quirkless' vigilante got villains so easily recently. The amount of villains captured by him have skyrocketed randomly after a small break

The villain flicks the sewing needle with ease at Zero. The villain prepares two hands to shoot the needles. Each one nearly misses zero and goes flying into the wall behind, leaving big marks and breaks in them.

He's overwhelmed by the amount of dodging he has to do. There is no time to put in an actual attack of his own. The hero thinks it's finally time to step into the fight now. He jumps off the building behind the villain.

Zero catches one of the needles in his gauntlet. It goes straight through the metal and into a canister that holds his new capture weapon. He points his arm flat to the villain and pulls out the needle. The canister quickly explodes with a warm yellow syrup like liquid. It hardes over the villain as he becomes stuck inside of the honey bomb.

A good amount of the syrup had gotten all over the roads. The smell of sugar was almost sickly with how much it filled the street.

Zero's gauntlet was stuck to the syrup as he tried to remove it normally. It was useless to pull on the chemical trap. It was solid already.

He pulled out a spray bottle and started spraying the chemicals. It quickly broke down releasing air into the skies and released his arm.

He looked around to see all the mess and quickly opened the gauntlet to look inside at the canisters. It wasn't one but two canisters that had been punctured. The last one had quite a dent inside so it was in his best interest to not use it.

"Do you want one of these? It's dented so i'm not gonna use it '' He takes out the canister and looks at EraserHead. His feet were completely submerged in the syrup and parts of him had random bits stuck on hair and arms. He looks around at the mess in a bit of shock.

"Can you let me out?" He tries to move his shoes but they're stuck in place.

"I mean. You're just going to capture me after i let you out. Which wouldn't be fun for me. The chemicals break down after about 30 minutes or so" Zero somewhat taunts the spray bottle. He turns around to walk away into the night and away from the hero.

"ACK- '' Eraser Head's capture weapon quickly grabs onto the vigilante as he's pulled to the hero. He grabs the spray bottle out from his hands and releases the kid.

"Thank you" The hero replied before spraying around his shoes. The solution quickly breaks down into air once again as he moves his shoes out.

"This part of town is gonna smell like sugar for WEEKS" He nervously laughed at the mess. Eraser Head let go of the vigilante and he quickly made his way away from the hero, sprinting down the alleyways and into the night, leaving the spray and canister behind.

Eraser Head picked up the canister as the police arrived at the scene. He looked at it then back to the crystalized chemicals that covered half of the street. He placed it in his pocket and turned to the police to confront them.
