"Fangs, there has been some suspicious activity near where you're located," Hawks' voice came through (Y/n)'s earpiece, his tone serious and focused. "Pro heroes are already on the way, but keep your eyes peeled. I need you and Tsukuyomi to scout the area discreetly and report any findings back to me ASAP."

"On it," (Y/n) replied with determination. Tokoyami nodded in silent agreement as they set off to discreetly search for any signs of suspicious activity.

(Y/n) had accepted Hawks' sidekick internship offer after careful consideration. Hawks, renowned for his speed and flying abilities, offered (Y/n) an opportunity to refine her own skills.

Also, with Tokoyami's quirk 'Dark Shadow' alongside her—allowing him to control a sentient shadow creature—(Y/n) hoped to enhance her shadow-warping abilities through their collaboration.

Under cover of dusk, (Y/n) and Tokoyami moved swiftly through the quiet streets toward the city's western edge. Shadows played along the walls as they navigated, their senses heightened for any anomalies in the environment.

As they approached the designated area, (Y/n) activated her quirk. Her fangs sprouted, and her night vision kicked in, scanning the surroundings for any unusual movements or disturbances. Tokoyami, with his keen senses, focused on listening for any telltale sounds that might indicate trouble as he sent Dark Shadow to investigate the area.

The tension in the air was palpable as they continued their reconnaissance, their mission clear: to uncover the source of the suspicious activity and relay vital information back to Hawks. (Y/n) kept a close watch, noticing a shadow moving out of the corner of her eye and into an alleyway. The (h/c)-haired girl used her shadow warping ability to slip through the shadows undetected.

Entering the alleyway, she spotted a figure crouched on the ground, eating something. As (Y/n) got a closer look, she gasped and paled. "Hey, you!" she shouted, drawing the figure's attention. Before she could do anything, the figure teleported out of sight, leaving a horrifying scene in front of her.

A pale little girl's body, around the ages of 7 to 9, lay on the ground, surrounded by her own blood, parts of her body ripped out and eaten. (Y/n) checked the girl's pulse, noticing that there was none.

(Y/n) switched off her night vision, feeling a sudden wave of nausea. She quickly called Tokoyami through her earpiece, and he assured her he'd arrive soon.

"What's—" Tokoyami's voice trailed off as he processed the scene before him, both of them silent.

"Hawks," Tokoyami spoke into his earpiece, breaking the tense silence as he informed the pro hero about what they had witnessed.

(Y/n) remained in shock, leaning against the alley wall, her eyes shut tight, trying to process the ordeal.

Only the sound of passing cars and their own breaths filled the air, leaving an eerie silence in its wake.

"Hawks sent us, what's the situa—oh my god," a pro hero's voice cut through the quiet as (Y/n) opened her eyes.

Another hero spoke into their earpiece, "We've got a serious situation here; this area is now a crime scene."

"I'm afraid you both need to come with us to the station," another hero informed the two third-years. "We need your statements; anything you saw or heard could be crucial for our investigation."

"Thank you for coming. We've just received pictures of the crime scene; what you've witnessed is deeply disturbing. I apologize that you had to experience this," Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi stated solemnly.

Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi is known for his earnest dedication and hard work, qualities that have earned him the trust and friendship of All Might. He was entrusted with the truth about One for All and All Might's true form.

He has resolved numerous obscure cases, establishing himself as one of the top detectives in his field.

"I need you to walk me through what happened," Detective Tsukauchi said gently, noticing (Y/n)'s gaze fixed on the ground.

"Um, Tokoyami and I were patrolling the area as Hawks had told us of unusual activity," (Y/n) began, exhaling deeply. "I went into an alleyway and spotted someone in all black crouched down—doing something... you know—then they noticed me and... teleported away, I think."

"You didn't see their face?" Detective Tsukauchi inquired.

"No," (Y/n) replied.

"They teleported?"

"Disappeared suddenly, so I figured they did."

Detective Tsukauchi sighed, rising from the chair opposite (Y/n). "It's alright. This information will be valuable. You're free to go."

(Y/n) nodded and left the interrogation room, joining Tokoyami who was waiting for her outside.

"Are you alright?" Tokoyami asked as they approached Hawks' agency building.

(Y/n) cleared her throat. "Yeah, I'm okay. It's no big deal. I should be asking you the same."

In her first year, (Y/n) witnessed events that no sixteen-year-old should have to endure. These experiences were deeply disturbing and left lasting impressions on her psyche, sometimes haunting her thoughts even as time passed.

Yet, despite the darkness she had confronted, (Y/n) found ways to cope and move forward. She leaned on her friends and mentors, drawing strength from their support. Their unwavering presence helped her rebuild a sense of security and resilience.

Over time, she had learned to distinguish those memories, allowing herself moments of vulnerability but refusing to let them define her.

As they entered the agency's lobby, greeted by the sleek, modern interior designed to inspire confidence, (Y/n) reflected on how far she had come since those unsettling times. The journey hadn't been easy, but it had forged her into someone capable of facing the unknown with courage and resolve.

How could this be any different?
