When Killua woke up he expected to see the darkened alley and to smell the garbage littering all around but that wasn't what this was at all. Instead what he saw was a bustling street full of people that were staring at him or.. maybe they weren't?

He was being carried. He recognized someone was holding him. He felt them cradling his upper back and the back of his thighs. I'm being carried bridal-style. He realized that the person likely didn't recognize that he was awake so he decided to make a prompt decision: I should stay 'asleep' for now and 'wake up' later. It'll be useful to get information like this.

There were still a couple of things to keep note of however, even if he was pretending to stay asleep. First, the people staring at him but not doing anything. If they recognized that he was unconscious and being carried and weren't doing anything about it that meant one of two things. Either the person carrying him was an authority figure of some kind and the people respected him or... they realized that the person carrying him was somebody to be feared and didn't want to get hurt. From the quick glance he stole at the passerby, he presumed it was the former idea because while the citizens looked wary, they didn't look scared and that was a big thing.

Second, the person who was carrying him now either found him on purpose or on accident and depending on which one of those it was it could spell trouble for him later on. That's why he opted for the wait and see approach, he didn't have enough information to make a rational decision right now. So he needed to play it safe.

Line break!!

The man who was holding him remained silent as he treaded onward much to the dismay of the reporters wanting to get a word in. He just pushed past them and moved forward and while that probably was a good thing for the man, it wasn't good for killua who wanted to gather information. The reporters gave the man questions and he didn't respond so killua couldn't confirm or deny anything until they came about a particularly loud reporter.

"Mr. Eraserhead, why are you carrying a child?" Eraserhead? So that's his name. That's kinda strange. I probably shouldn't question it though, we have names like palm and knuckle in our world and those aren't exactly realistic names. Eraserhead did his due diligence with this reporter and again ignored him. Killua's image of this guy was already forming, even without seeing the guy. He must not be very social.

Killua's thoughts about Eraserhead were interrupted when they suddenly came to a halt. He had stopped moving. Why did we stop? Did we get somewhere important? Suddenly they were moving again and Killua started to notice the abrupt shifts in movement. First to his left then his right and killua started to hear chatter. He decided to hone his ears and listen in for any new information. "So what about that case on the robberies?" "There was a recent villain attack and two civilians were-" it was hard to understand what they were all talking about but the one key piece of information he thought about was that there were cases happening here. That told him all he needed to know about where he was. I'm in a police station.

Eraserhead suddenly stopped again but this time something changed. He was lowering killua onto something. But as soon as Killua hit it he realized what it was: a bed. He must have taken me here because he realized I was sleeping in the garbage. He'll probably ask me where my parents are and why I was sleeping in an alley when I 'wake up'. I probably shouldn't 'wake up' immediately or they'll realize I was faking the whole time so I guess I should think of a cover story in the meantime.

Line break!!

Today was a sunday and Aizawa didn't have anything to do so he decided to make himself useful and do some patrolling around Musutafu. He had already set up his lesson plan for the upcoming U. A. students so he didn't have any work to do for the school either. It wasn't a fun job but it was decidedly more boring than usual so he had to find something to do even if he didn't find it particularly enjoyable. So he put on his hero costume, grabbed his eye drops and walked out of his house.
