Out of Place & Out of Sorts

Ch.39 - Strife of Tarisu part 4

'Alright... That should just about do it.'

Izuku stood up after tying up one of the villains, watching the now freed bank guards assist by doing the same, using the ties the villains brought with them, combined with the cuffs that the bank's security guards had to restrain the villains until law enforcement arrived.

It wasn't perfect. Many of the villains here likely had the physical strength to break the restraints, but Izuku was still here in case that happened.

'I'll probably have to stay here and keep an eye on things until we can call the police.-'

Izuku then eyed the foot-handed villain, still faking being unconscious while getting said feety hands cuffed.

Then the gorilla, still clutching his groin.

'-Yeah, many of them are still awake.'

With things more or less under control, the boy's thoughts turned to Ryuko.

'I hope Tempest broke the news to her gently... Oh, who am I kidding? Ryuko is definitely going to yell at me.'

The sudden drop in from the Sass-tile was quite a surprise as they updated each other on their respective situations. Izuku wasn't too surprised to hear that Ryuko was handling tonnes of villains herself in the entertainment district; she was one of the best after all, but he couldn't shake this foreboding feeling.

Maybe it was his paranoia talking, but he couldn't help but feel the league was somehow involved in all this.

Shrugging to himself, Izuku focused on another issue he was told about while indicating to the former hostages and left to inspect the situation just outside the bank's busted front door.

The street was pretty empty, considering the time of day. Most people probably saw the villain attack and decided to steer clear.

'I hope Nautical is handling things with that bus alright...'

*VRRRROOOOM*

Izuku swivelled his head upwards at the noise, where he saw the strange sight of a flying, beaten-up bus, its tyres spinning and engine roaring as it sailed through the air.

Izuku went bug-eyed as the bus slowly descended. 'Wait, isn't that the bus that got away?'

Ever so gently, the bus pressed its weight onto the road as the engine died down. The vehicle itself was in much better condition than Izuku was led to believe by Tempest... but then again, maybe that metal-merging villain used his Quirk to fix it?

As though answering that question, the bus's side door sprang open with a familiar villain stumbling out before dropping to his knees on the road.
