Adaptive quirk

By: SkylerSkyhigh, Tereox_X\

The moon shone brightly in the sky, crescent shaped and hidden behind the clouds. Its light shone between the alleys and streets of the city.

A figure stood on top of a building, staring down at an open window through the lenses of his yellow goggles. It was dark inside but he could hear and see people moving around inside. Activity, whilst muted, was there. There were people inside, criminals.

Eraserhead, an underground pro hero, was waiting for the right moment to strike his target. A facility that was rumored to kidnap quirkless children for years. 18 kids reported missing, all around this area. It had taken 4 years to finally locate the hideout. Hopefully all of his information rang true and he could finally return these kids to their parents.

He just needed to wait until the right moment. Backup was ready if needed. His job was to sneak in and take out everyone involved. And rescue the children held captive inside. He was the front line of this operation.

Eraserhead frowned slightly as he stared down.

His com buzzed. "Eraser, what's the situation?"

He pressed the side of his com to answer, keeping his voice low. "I count 12 so far. Nothing troubling, they seem to be guarding the building. No sign of any children. I'm going in."

"Be careful Eraserhead. We'll be waiting your instruction."

He went silent and stared into the open window, waiting for an opportunity.

He had to wait until everything quieted down a bit. Until he could sneak in unexpectedly. Stealth was his ally in this situation.

He just had to wait.

Maybe...

Now!

He held onto his capture weapon and started moving.

He jumped skillfully through the window and landed on his feet silently. The men in the room shouted as they startled but he didn't give them a chance to defend themselves before he used his capture weapon to grab them, pull them closer and swiftly knock them out. Pulling out a pair of zip ties, he tied their arms and legs before he heard footsteps running towards him. He stands up and ran towards the approaching criminals.

His movements were quick and effective as he knocked them out one by one, erasing their quirks and tying them up. There were a few mutant type quirks which he couldn't erase but he took them out quickly and effectively. These were low level villains, more like thugs than anything else. He was lucky. He wouldn't have been able to hold his ground against this many people if they had been more skilled or expecting.

After five minutes, everyone was on the ground unconscious. He tied all of them up and did one last search for any that were hiding. He pressed his com to inform the police of a successful raid.

He started to walk around to find both any remaining villains and the missing children.

Eraserhead kept to the shadows as he crept along. Walls bare and paint chipping. The overhead florescent lights illuminated the rooms with blinding light. He kept his steps light and silent, his senses searching for anything remotely dangerous or suspicious.

After a while he found a few villains. He disabled their quirks in a matter of seconds and knocked them out quickly.

He frowned when he found a metal door. It smelled faintly of antiseptic and iron.
