Through the Fire

Chapter 1

She's on the move.

Aizawa thought to himself when he saw the suspected villain walking away from a store. His mission is to take the villain, known as Mia, to the police for questioning as she is believed to have connections with the League of Villains.

The pro hero quietly followed the villain to a dark alley. He was about to capture her but was surprised to see an unknown figure choking the villain.

What Aizawa couldn't believe was that the person chocking the villain came from a warp gate, a quirk all too familiar with him.

This must be Kurogiri, he thought. The second in command of the League of Villains. And the reason why Shigaraki could enter UA.

Aizawa was confused about why they were fighting. It must be because the one he is trailing is a traitor. He thought this was better since he could hit two birds with one stone.

He immediately used his scarf which was made of steel wire alloy woven with carbon nano-fibers to capture both of them and used his erasure quirk to stop them from using their quirk.

"What the hell?" Kurogiri complained. Only it wasn't Kurogiri, but a girl with purple highlights on her hair. Aizawa couldn't tell it apart back then as it is currently nighttime. And they were in a dark area at that.

"Hey, are you the one this girl was gonna meet up with?" the woman asked, accusing Aizawa as a villain. His eyebrow furrowed, doubtful.

"Aren't you?" He asked back.

In reality, Aizawa didn't know that the villain was gonna meet up with somebody. He was only tasked to capture the one he has now.

All of a sudden, a knife was aimed at the middle of the scarf between Aizawa and Mia. She escaped and punched Aizawa in the head, making him close his eyes and undo his quirk.

"I think the girl is looking for me." a voice suggested. Aizawa and the woman looked to where the voice came from and saw a man floating with knives all over his body.

Mia united with the floating man and sighed in relief.

"You're dead." Mia grinned and lava suddenly came out of her palms, directing the flow to them.

Aizawa picked the girl up in his arms and ran to the left to avoid the villain's quirk.

"Bastard, get this thing off me!" she demanded. The scarf was still wrapped around her body. He obliged and the girl straightened her clothes, annoyed with the situation.

"When they come, erase their quirk. You got it?" she ordered. Confused as he was, Aizawa didn't have the time to doubt the woman's orders.

They hid in a garbage bin. Just as the villains were close enough to where they were, Aizawa showed himself and glared at them to erase their quirks. The man with the knives immediately pulled out three knives and was about to throw them in their direction when suddenly a warp gate appeared on the ground they were standing.

The two villains, with surprised expressions, fell to the portal. It closed as soon as the two were no longer in sight.

Aizawa blinked, wearing off his quirk. He looked at the girl who was beside him and started making suspicions about her.

"Where'd you take them?"

The girl didn't answer. Another portal appeared in front of them. She nodded to the portal with a smirk.

"Wanna see where?"

"You smirking doesn't help get rid of my suspicions about you." He said in a deadpan tone. She just rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." She rolled her eyes. The girl started walking towards the portal and entered it. But the portal didn't disappear, almost trying to tempt Aizawa. She was right.

Even with doubt, Aizawa entered the portal. What he saw when he got on the other side shocked him. It was the other side of an interrogation room. And the people inside the interrogation room were the two villains they fought just minutes ago.

He scanned the room he was in and saw some familiar faces.

"Principal Nezu, Officer Ansa, why are you here?" he questioned.

Officer Ansa was surprised yet smiled at him, acknowledging his presence.

"Oh, Aizawa." The principal responded, also smiling at him. Aizawa bowed out of respect.

"I didn't think Uehara-san would bring Erasure Head here. Nice to meet you, sir." Officer Ansa and Aizawa shooked hands.

"Why didn't you tell us we were on the same mission? He thought I was a villain." The woman, Euhara, asked.

Officer Ansa closed his eyes, guilty of what he did. Or rather, what he didn't.

"Both of you prefer doing missions solo. So I thought it'd be easier for you to catch the villains if you didn't know." The officer admitted.

"It would've been easier if we had known we were on the same mission though." Aizawa butting in the discussion.

"Agree."

"Now now. The villains have been captured. Let's not fight." The principal insists.

"By the way, Aizawa. This is your junior, Yui Uehara. You're from the same company." Principal Nezu introduced. Uehara who was staring at the villains on the other side, faced her senior, Aizawa Shouta.

Aizawa thought about it hard. But the name didn't ring a bell.

" I don't remember her name being introduced to the company," he mumbled.

"Oh silly me," the Principal laughed. "The Xx Company was very private in offering her a job.  You can't even search her name on Google."

Aizawa and Uehara looked at each other, the latter offering her hand.

"Nice to meet you Aizawa-san."

They shook hands. Releasing it immediately.

"Officer Ansa, could you leave us for a minute, please?" The principal requested. The police agreed, bowed, then left the room.

"I would've called for us to have a formal meeting, but I guess this will do."

"Uehara, you're going to UA." He announced.
