Izuku Yagi P.O.V 

I decided to test out the gift so I left the bar. It was strange the armor is light but durable and I feel more energized. As I was walking I heard someone shout "HELP ME!" from a nearby alley. Without much thought I began running into the alley, immediately assessing the situation. There were two people attempting to rob a lady. One had a mole quirk, while the other seemed to be a completely normal human.

I quickly determined who was the most immediate threat. I recognized that the mole man was the one who was actually robbing the lady. The normal-looking man, while it didn't seem like he had any quirks, could possibly have a quirk that just doesn't show any visible mutations. The mole man was probably blind so he'd work off sound and smell. With that info, I ran into the fray.

I quickly activated half hot in my left hand, while having the scale quirk on both. I launched some fire at the ordinary guy since he was further away. I then attacked the mole man with a close-up punch to the mole man. I hit him where I thought his temple would be, I knew I wasn't likely to knock him out as easily since I barely had any natural muscle on me. Luckily I hit the right spot and he fell fairly easily. Before I knew what was going on the other man seemed to appear right next to me and attack me. I managed to get my scaled arms up in a block before he hit me.

I shot another wave of fire at him. He dodged it, but it gave me the time I needed to get in close enough to get in a good hit. He fell fairly easily, obviously not used to combat. With that, I had finished them both off. 

Looking back at the lady I asked "Are you okay?" 

"Y-yes thank you!" She said almost crying. She quickly thanked me and ran away to what assumed was home. I grabbed a nearby bit of rope and tied the two thieves together. I was about to walk away when the mole man woke up. 

"Heh. Guess that's it huh." 

"Oh! You're awake!?" I asked shocked. 

"Yeah. I guess you're going to call the police soon, aren't you?" 

"Yeah. I guess you're going to call the police soon, aren't you?" 

"Yeah, but did you ever think why we did this?" It was a good question. I didn't have a way to answer it. 

"Heh, just as much of a kid as I thought you were. Do you want to know why I did this?" He asked. I was tempted to just walk away, but he got me by curiosity. 

"Why?" I asked. 

"Because I had to," He told me, which confused me. "People with mutation quirks like mine aren't appreciated. We can't get jobs because everyone thinks we're monsters or villains. We have no choice. If we want to have the money to survive, the best we can do is rob people. We'll never be considered people, the best we can get is monsters." 

I was sympathetic to his problems, but I couldn't let him just let him go and rob more people. I then realized that I could take his quirk. I grabbed his head saying "Let me try something." 

activating All for one I reached out and let the lighting take his quirk. The same dusty appearance that happened to the man with the scale quirk happened to the man. The mole appearance faded into dust as underneath was a woman. I was caught a little off guard since I thought this person was a man, because of his voice and large stature. I quickly corrected myself.

She looked at herself shocked. Then she started to cry. She was so happy. She then thanked me over and over again. I untied her and told her to leave and start a good life, but then I realized she still can't just get a job.

"Come with me, I can get you a place to work." I said before turning towards  the other guy I took his quirk and left him to the police, deciding that he most likely didn't have an excuse.
