Musutafu, the city of heros. It is known for not only being where the number one hero lives, All Might, but also where the most prestigious hero school in all of japan is, U.A High!

With the best hero AND best school, criminals and villains SURELY would think twice before coming here, right? Unfortunately, no...

Man: OOFH-... hey, watch where you're going kid!

???: oops, sorry sir...

The kid hangs his head down in mock shame and walks past the wealthy-looking man, who mumbles to himself about how kids these days are so unaware of their surroundings.

The kid glances back at the man to make sure he can't see him, before grinning and looking down at an object in his hands.

A credit card. The kid smiles wider.

Theif-Kid: 'hell yeah! Once i deposit this into MY bank, i'll be covered for a long while!'

The kid puts the credit card in his jacket pocket and continues to walk down the path, the sunset leaving a yellow-y tint on the path. It would appear that this kid isn't an upstanding citizen, but rather a thief in this bustling city.

The kid scrolls through his phone and makes a deposit from the credit card into his own bank account.

Thief-Kid: 'hmm, less than i had hoped... ahh well, it'll manage for the month.'

The kid sighs and shrugs his shoulders, before putting his phone back in his pocket and continuing to walk... where ever he's going.

All of a sudden, it starts raining. The kid looks up at the sky, seeing multiple holes through the clouds. Clearly the work of some big hero. He groans and pulls a hood over his head. He continues to walk, until his journey is interrupted by...

*BANG B-BANG*
*shuffle shuffle*
*TINK*

Loud tumbling noises, startling the kid. He looks around for the source, and finds it coming from a drain on the side of the road. Now, this wouldn't be cause for concern, if the noises weren't so loud and... irregular, no pattern or anything.

Curiously, the kid looks up, checking both ways for cars before stepping onto the road and crouching down to look inside the drain.

Pitch darkness inside. The kid pulls out his phone again and turns on the flashlight. He scans the inside for a bit, looking past the trash and gunky water for any signs of a large mammal or fish, but nothing moves.

A can gets knocked over, alerting the kid to swiftly look at it, and what he sees behind it is something out of a horror movie.

A black gooey substance that flows over itself and sways up and down like it's breathing. It seems unaware of the kids presence, as it continues to move across the drain.

It doesn't move regularly, like a rat would, rather it... extends parts of itself out infront and drags itself forwards, almost like it's crawling.

The absurdity of the whole situation causes the kid to react verbally.

Thief-Kid: is this... someone's Quirk?

The kids words seem to alert the black substance to his presence, as it stops moving entirely. It remains there, unwavering in it's shape. Yet, the kid can feel it... looking at him...

In an instant, the black substance launches itself up and towards the kid, forcing him to step back in fear. The kid scrambles around and feels all around his body.
