Viridian grinned. He was having a blast! It had been nearly four months since he'd become a vigilante again, and the lower crime rates of this time allowed him more time to mess with his favorite detective.

"Leave me alone! Go bother Eraserhead!" Tsukauchi shouted. Aizawa glared at him.

"I bet you a 1000 yen that Shouta kicks his ass at the end of this." Present Mic told All Might.

"That's a sucker's bet and you know it." was all All Might said.

They'd already brought the heroes on board, as was protocol when a vigilante ran rampant for too long. He enjoyed his little game of 'hide and seek' if you will. If he was stuck as a kid again, he was going to enjoy every minute of it. So far, nobody but the villains he left for Tsukauchi had seen him, and he now held a reputation as one of Japan's most elusive vigilantes to date—something he was rather proud of.

"Manly!" Kirishima shouted. Aizawa sighed.

"He's breaking the law!"

"Uh... not manly?"

Tonight, he was playing a game with Tsukauchi and the hero that the detective had invited along—Midnight.

"Damnit. I need coffee." The detective rubbed his forehead before stealing some of Aizawa's coffee. You could see the steam coming out of Aizawa.

"Is he trying to die painfully?" All Might asked himself.

Sensing the tension, Izuku quickly went over to where the food and snacks were and made Aizawa another cup of coffee. Crisis averted.

Viridian would admit—it was hard to see her again. She'd been like family to him in his original timeline and knowing that she wouldn't even recognize him now made his heart constrict painfully. It was part of the reason why he was playing this game tonight. If he couldn't even handle seeing Nemuri again, how on earth would he handle seeing Hizashi or Shouta? And he had no doubts that Eraserhead would soon be brought on to his case. The man was well known for his ways with vigilantes.

"Midnight's dead in that world too!" The students cried.

"Students! It seems that most of us, besides Midoriya, is dead in that world." Nezu proclaimed.

"Even All Might?!"

"It would appear so."

Viridian had been leaving notes with each criminal he'd captured tonight. Each one had some sort of puzzle or code that Tsukauchi had to crack which would lead him to the next clue (or villain). Izuku had spent the last week and a half making them all, so he was greatly enjoying the chaos that was unfolding.

Nezu cackled in delight. He was enjoying this. Aizawa, All Might, and Present Mic looked at him fearfully and agreed on one thing: Midoriya and Nezu must not join forces. One Nezu is bad enough. The world doesn't need two.

Especially when Tsukauchi found one clue taped under his desk.

Tsukauchi groaned. Aizawa smirked at him. That Midoriya was not his problem. Good luck.

"How the hell did he get in here?!" Tsukauchi growled, rifling through the security footage, which had since been edited.

"Looks like Viridian is pretty tech-savvy." Midnight tapped her chin as she looked around the office.

"I have little doubt he can hear us right now." Tsukauchi growled as his phone pinged.

"He shouldn't have jinxed it." Tsuyu ribbited.
