A Vigilante Barista [Vigilante deku, dadzawa]

Chapter 40 - Induced Flashbacks

[Third Person POV]
[3333 words lol]

Diamond raced through the dark alleyways of the city. He scrutinised every street he passed, but as he had his head turned, a large beam of air pressure sent his frail body flying down the alleyway. As his body skidded against the ground and his clothes were mammocked by the cement, he managed to flip himself back onto his feet.

From the end of the alley walked a villain, and between the kicked up dust he could see the smirk wiped across the villains face.
'I've got you now, Diamond.' The villain mumbled in a husky tone.

Izuku didn't take his eyes off the villain. He slipped his stainless steel throwing cards out of his pocket and flicked one towards the villain, but another wave of air pressure redirected the card in Diamonds direction. He caught the card between his fingers.

'You're delusional if you think your cheap tricks work on me.' The villain walked towards Diamond.

Izuku quickly began scaling the building in attempt to escape, but the villain sent another immense gust of air pressure in his direction. He lost his footing and almost fell from the building, but managed to grab onto a window sill. He wasted no time scrambling up the building and began running across the roof tops without looking back.

He slipped down a building and bolted for the entrance of the leagues base. Before he could even open the door, another gust of air sent him crashing through the door, breaking it off its hinges as he fell to the ground of the bar.

Before the villain could make it though the entrance, a purple portal formed sending the villain to an unknown location. Izuku grunted as he brought himself to his knees, before quickly looking towards the door for the villain.

'Are you alright, Diamond?' Kurogiri asked as he moved towards him from behind the bar.

Izuku glanced at the villain as he pushed himself onto his feet. 'I'm sorry about this...'

'Don't fret, are you injured?' He asked, noticing Izukus tattered clothing along with visible grazes across his torso.

Izuku picked up pieces of the destroyed door in dismay. He wondered if he'd been spending too much time around Nanami. 'I broke the door...'

'That's alright, we can get a new door...' Kurogiri went behind the bar to grab a first aid kit.

Toga ran from down the hallway after hearing the crash. 'Diamond!' She beamed. A young individual followed behind her, someone Izuku didn't recognise despite his lengthy knowledge on villains.

Izuku gave a sheepish nod as a greeting as he scrutinised the person, who didn't seem to make eye contact. He attempted to gather information using his contacts, but an error code appeared. The individual was Togas height, they seemed androgynous. Their hair was short, dyed a pinkish-red, and they had subtle red eyeshadow around the corners of their eyes. Izuku was rather embarrassed that his first impression was so disastrous.

'What on earth happened to you?' Toga asked, moving closer to the vigilante, gleefully assessing his bloodied state.

'Diamond, come sit so I can treat your injuries.' Kurogiri gestured to a seat at the bar.

'Where did you send that villain?' Izuku asked, ignoring Kurogiris command.

Kurogiri opened a portal under Izuku and one above the chair in which he came out, falling onto the chair. 'To a river a fair distance from here.'

Izuku seemed startled by the sudden portal travel. He slipped his mask off. 'Sorry about the door... thanks for the help but I can deal with my own injuries.' He very quietly told Kurogiri.
