???: This can go one of two ways lady. You hand over the bag and I walk away or I hurt that pretty face of yours and take it anyway.

???: W-Why?!

In an alleyway in the city of Konan, Japan, a young woman just out of work is being held up by a man, who clearly hasn't worked in years, wielding a rusty knife. 

???: Just hand it over-

???: I don't think she's going to be doing that.

???: Eh?

The man turns around to find a young man, probably 15 or 16, standing at the end of the alley. He is in his casual attire, jeans with a dark green hoodie and a matching pair of converse, and has a smirk on his face. His short (H/c) waves in the slight breeze as he smirks at the clearly arrogant petty thief. His brilliant (E/c) eyes shining behind a pair of glasses. 

???: Look kid, you should get outta here while I'm still feeling generous.

???: And I offer that suggestion right back at you mister.

The man glares at the young man.

???: Your mama never teach ya manners? No problem. I can show you how to respect your elders!

He turns fully to the young man and races towards him, knife raised and poised to slash the younger man's face. The (H/c) haired lad never lost his smirk as he reached down and pick up a discarded piece of wall. The piece of the wall began to bubble and let out a hiss as it grew and morphed into an abomination. A monster made of painted stone with four clawed arms and no eyes... just a mouth of stone teeth. It sat on all fours as the man came to a dead stop with terror in his eyes. The creature took one small step before the man threw his knife at the creature before sprinting as fast as he could pass the creature and young man. The young man's smirk transitioned into a smile. He looked at the woman who stared at the creature in wonder and slight fear.

???: Don't worry he won't hurt you. You've done well. 

The man placed his hand upon the creature who let out a grunt of gratitude before his creation bubbled and shrank returning to the same piece of wall as before.

???: He didn't hurt you did he, mam?

???: O-Oh no. You showed up before he could. Thank you for saving me!

???: It was no problem at all.

???: Are you a hero? You look pretty young for one though.

???: Not yet, but might as well use my quirk for good.

The young man smiled again before waving at the woman and turning.

???: Hope you make it home safely. I've gotta get home myself.

The young man began to walk away, but the woman spoke up.

???: W-What's your name?!

The young man stopped. He turned and gave a closed-eyes smile. He lifted up his thumb and announced.

(Y/n): (Y/n) (L/n), future hero!

With that (Y/n) sprinted into the night. The woman attempted to follow, but when she reached the street (Y/n), you, was gone. She turned and began to walk to her home still occasionally scanning the street in a hope to find her hero. On a nearby rooftop, you were panting heavily with your hands on your knees.

(Y/n): Why... is... climbing... buildings... so hard?

You asked panting in between words.

???: Why did you climb a building anyway?
