"I'm sorry, what exactly happened here?" The underground hero, Eraserhead was beyond bewildered when he saw the crime scene, everything, literally everything from a few miles radius was stone.

Whoever did this have some insanely strong quirk.

"Well, we got a call from a resident that lives right outside of the forest that the air was very tight, they couldn't move they couldn't breath and everything around them shook like crazy, and when we got here well, this has already happened." A detective named Hiroto answered, his hands moving swiftly across the tab that he held.

Aizawa eyed the scene, he walked closer as he looked closely into the person's face, the stone is.. very detailed.

He was sure that all of their faces were easily detected by how clean the stone was in the first place, and maybe that could be a lead?

"Have you got their identities?"

"We've got most of them, they're all villains and work under an illegal organization called Noroi."

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, he's definitely heard of that organization before, heck, he had fought countless of their intels in the past decade.

This organization is no joke, they deal with everything, illegal quirk enhancing drugs, dangerous uncertified support weapons, and last he remembered they even managed to get a hand of, or more like stole the quirk erasing bullet from the shie hassaikai, they're probably working on a technology as such.

Aizawa was so focused in a trance, that wehn Hiroto's voiced came into his ear, it snapped him out of it.

"There are a few things we get from this... incident. First one is considering how much people are here, we figured that the base of Noroi would be close by and some heroes are looking around for it, the second one is that based on the amount of bullets and blood on the ground, we also suspect that whoever did this is on the loose and badly injured."

Aizawa barely even noticed the trail of blood that is smeared across the ground, how could he even missed that in the first place? "Any clues yet?"

"The others are tracking their blood trail but we're not sure-"

"Hey! I think we found them!"

What an odd coincidence.

Aizawa and Hiroto stared at each other before they run off to wherever the suspect was, surprising to them, even after they were beside the officer that found the person, he could see no one at all.

"Where are they?"

The officer looked at him with an expression Aizawa could only explain as doubt.

"He's right behind that tree over there, we think since it might be dangerous for us to come in recklessly maybe you can erase his quirk and approach him safely." He pointed to a tree that seemed to be very far off, but once he zoomed his eyes in, he can definitely see a person sitting and violently shaking behind it.

But why do they look so small..?

Can't really reply with anything but a sigh, Aizawa simply nodded his head and just went on with their plan.

"Fine."

And there he went. He made sure that he was being as quiet as he possibly could, and he made sure that he went as slow as any human could. He's facing with someone who stoned an entire area, he should be careful shouldn't he?

It was going smooth until he stepped on a twig, he froze, and the person behind the tree flinched, hard. Deciding that it was no use being quiet anymore, he decided that he should just walk there, being as careful and slow though, of course.

How shocked he was when he went over the tree to see a.. a boy. A young boy with disheveled and messy hair along with his muddy clothes, he was trembling, and Aizawa could see the blood huddling on his side from his thighs. His skin was sickeningly pale, probably from the blood lost.

He should really call for medic.

Who would've thought someone so powerful could look so frail.

Carefully falling down on one knee, he looked at the boy, trying to reach out to him.

"Hey kid, you look pretty beat up there." A stupid statement to say to an injured person, but he merely thinks that he is trying to keep the situation calm.

It was silent, and not a good kind of silent, it was those tense silent moment that makes you feel like you could throw up any second of the day.

No one moved, until the boy spoke

"I didn't do it." He whispered under his breath, it was quiet but Aizawa was close enough to hear what he said. "Didn't do what kid?"

The boy trembled more, his entire body shaking and his breath sped up in pace. "B-back there, I-I I didn't- I didn't mean to- they-they were hurting me and I-I panicked and suddenly everything just- I didn't mean to, I swear I didn't mean to do it, I swear."

The boy was practically spouting incoherrent words at this point and Aizawa couldn't help but feel bad, he didn't look bad at all he just looks scared.

Even if all Aizawa could see was the top of his head, the boy kept his head down the entire time, even when the twig snapped behind him.

"Hey, hey sshh, calm down kid, no one is going to hurt you, no one is blaming you, ok kid? You can breathe ok? Everything is going to be alright, you just need to breathe for a moment, can you do that?" Aizawa knows a panic attack when he sees one, and considering the state the boy is in, having a panic attack won't do him any good.

Though those words didn't exactly helped much, the boy kept muttering those words, over and over and over again.

"I didn't mean to."

"I didn't do it."

It was as if those words were playing in loops in his head.

Aizawa sighed, he shifted closer and he brought an arm up. "Ok look can I touch you?"

"NO!" The boy snapped, swatting the man's hand away from him, he visibly curled himself away and looked further down. "Please don't, I don't want- I don't want to hurt anyone anymore."

His voice was shaking and Aizawa felt horrible when he recognize the tone the boy was using despite the fact that he was yelling.

He was scared, very, what's more upsetting is that he's not scared of anyone else, he's scared that he's going to hurt someone.

Noticing that this probably is an appropriate situation to use his quirk, he activated it, staring at the kid unblinkingly.

"Look, my quirk allows me to erase other people's quirk alright? If you can see anyone, if you can stare at anyone it would be me, so can I please at least touch you? Your wound is looking very bad kid."

It was silent again, and Aizawa was about to say the same thing all over again before he heard the boy talked, much more quiet than before.

"Are you sure?" He could see the boys hand clenching onto the hem of his clothes. "Are you sure I won't hurt you."

"I'm sure."

He could feel the doubt, he could feel the fear, but slowly the boy lifted his head up, and what Aizawa saw made his heart jolt more.

The boy was as pale as a ghost, there were tears falling down his cheeks still, and his lips, they were so blue you'd expect him to pass out by now.

The boy looked at Aizawa, and the hero could basically see the relief flooding into the boy as he noticed that the underground hero was right.

He can erase quirks.

Having all the weight and fear finally off of his shoulders, the kid let his own shoulders slump and with one last whisper he said,

"Save me, please."

Not even a moment later, the boy passed out, falling to the side. Aizawa was fast enough to catch the boy from falling and he held the boy close as he yelled for help.

He sure hope that the boy would be fine even after all of this.
