The Assassin in Our Midst

Bonus

When we got back to school, Mr. Aizawa announced the upcoming work study internships. 

"You'll be using the connections that you got through the Sports Festival internships for these. They are optional, not required so you should think about if you really want to do these. You'll be missing class time for these so take some time."

The bell rang, signaling for all of us to leave. Everyone seemed to be happy the work study opportunity, they'd all gone to great heroes and made good connections the first time. I got stuck with some D list hero despite placing well because nobody wanted the quirkless kid. 

"Nagisa," a voice called. Mr. Aizawa... I'd told him that he could call be by my name if he wanted. I know that my secret won't stay hidden for long, not with a class full of hero students knowing about the minimal information regarding it. I'd be better to get used to the name now, so that maybe one day I don't flinch every time I hear it. Besides, my hair color war changed to be a little bit more blue than before, though I had Kaede leave my eyes green. It felt like a melding of all worlds.

"Yes, Aizawa Sensei?" He may be my legal guardian now, but it was weird calling him anything else. 

He sighed. "I know that none of your choices of heroes are suitable for your skill set, so I was hoping that you'd want to work with me."

I smiled despite myself. 

"It'd be the night patrol, so hours will be weird-"

"Yes," I cut in. "I'd love to."

When I was little, I looked up to All Might, thought that he was the best hero in the world and that one day he would save me. But as the years went by... and that day never came... I stopped believing in heroes. But Mr. Karasuma, a government agent nonetheless, had saved me when the day time hours couldn't. And now I have Mr. Aizawa, a hero in the flesh.

We jumped from roof top to roof top, stopping about five minutes after we began moving to take a break. Though it wasn't Mr. Aizawa or I that needed the break. 

"You two are fucking machines," came a very out of shape voice.  I laughed looking at the purple haired boy. 

Shinso, my...  brother.

Eraser had taken him in at the start of the year, after the sports festival when he found out how bad the kid's home life was. He was kneeled over on the roof, holding his chest.

"We're a former assassin and a Pro Hero, I think that cuts you some slack," I held out my hand to the boy, which the brainwash boy struggled to take. I pulled him up from the ground.

"Ah yes, my killer brother and scary father, how could I forget?" 

We laughed together, smiling at how easy it was. When you were both people shunned by society, it was easy to form a connection like this.

"Keep acting like that and I'll have to see about making you two a hero team in the future," Mr. Aizawa said, watching us from a few feet away. 

We looked at each other, not hating the idea. 

"Brainwashing," I said

"And assassination," Shinso added.

It really wasn't a bad combo.

There was a scream in the distance. The three of us ran forward as a unit.

This is the story of how we became the greatest underground hero team there is.

A/N: sorry if that was a crappy bonus, but I wanted to do something with the two of them becoming a team, because let's be honest they would be a really deadly combo. Anyways, the first chapter of my vigilante Deku story is also out if your interested. If not that's okay too.
