Tensai's Pov
I walked through the lively streets with my little brothers hand in mine. we were going to pick up a few things, then we would be off to the fair for the day. A kid about the age of Tenya blazed by us,
Woah! Someone's in a rush today, I think to myself as two boys speed by in the same direction, they seemed to be trailing the other kid, there probably just playing a game of tag, but there was something off about this game, I held Tenya's hand a little tighter as I watch this "game" unravel, I see all three turn off into an alley, something was definitely wrong, I look to Tenya as I quickly walk toward the alley and lean against the wall, peaking over to see whats going down.
Hey give that to us! we stole it fair and square! yelled one of the 2 boys
So did I! I just stole it from you, and suddenly its not fair and square no more is It! yelled back the first kid who now on closer inspection seemed to be wearing an old red cloak hiding their eyes
Well now were gonna take it back! Screamed the second boy as both boys go to tackle the first kid who flicks off their cloak and prepares to fight. To my surprise its a little girl under the cloak which she promptly tosses to the side. I look to Tenya then back to the busy street full of people, some sketchier then others, then back to the fight. I get on one knee to face my brother who has caught on to my concerns.
Hey, Tenya, I need you to stay here ok, if anything happens call for me ill be right there, ok?
Ok Tensai, but whats happening?
A hero helps people right (a nod from my brother) well I gotta be a hero and help someone.
I'm gonna be a hero someday too! let me help!
And your gonna make a great hero Tenya, but I'll take this mission you stay here promise?
Ok.. Promise!
I smile at my brother, ruffling his hair, then snap into action as I see the girl holding her own in the fight till one of the boys finds a glass bottle,
I run in, shouting, hey wait!
and smashes it against a wall, still welding the neck of the bottle while using the sharp edges created as a weapon, while the girl takes on the other boy, the one with the bottle comes at her from the side, pushing her away from the first boy and leaving a nasty array of cuts along her left arm. she lets out a pained yelp as she falls to the ground the second boy still on top of her from the tackle.
That'll teach you to steal from us, the boy with the bottle says, his voice slightky shaky as he tosses the glass bottle a side, the remander breaking into pieces, the boys look at each other breifly, a touch mortified by tge blood streaming down my arm. Both boys then collect the bag of stolen loot, and go to run off with it.
I go to interject but freeze in my steps for a moment
H-Hey! Not. so, f-fast..., the girl says as she stutters to her feet, then activates her quirk...
the two boys are now in the air, one seems to be lifted by the shirt, specifically by the spot that was now freshly blood stained, and the other by a small cut on the leg, they were then both slammed against the alley wall with a thud and a choir of grunts could be heard from the boys, I snap back in as I fire up my own quirk and sweep in to save the boys from getting another round of this girls quirk. dropping them off at the mouth of the alley way , sending them running as fast they can away from it. I imagine Tenya is watching them go off mildly confused. I then turn back to face the girl.
Stay back! she shouts defensively as she backs up keeping her quirk prepared and ready as she try's to hide/protect her bleeding arm.
I feel my heart shatter into a few thousand pieces as I watch this kid that couldn't be any older then 8 at the max back away from me assuming she would have to win a fight against me to survive.
