Student of the Hero Killer

The Reaper's Offer

When Eri reached the hideout, Stain was waiting for her. 

Stain: I see you've made it. What did you find out?

Eri: A vigilante going by the name of Grim Reaper. Do you know him?

Stain: Grim Reaper.....I've heard the name before. Apparently he goes after killing criminals and False Heroes. But all other records of him have nothing on him. 

Eri: He wants to join us.

Hearing that the Reaper wanted to join Stain's crusade seemed to puzzle the Hero Killer.

Stain: Is that so?

Eri: Yes. He has a connection to Overhaul's organization. 

Stain: Interesting. What more can you tell me?

Eri: The hero he killed was using a Yakuza gang working for Overhaul to get his hands on Trigger. I manage to pull some information from one of the Yakuza thugs. 

Stain was silent at the prospect that False Heroes were getting their hands on Trigger. He soon realized that Overhaul could no longer be ignored.

Stain: What does the Reaper offer?

Eri: He wants me to meet up with him tomorrow afternoon at the alley where we met with an answer. 

Stain: Do you trust him? 

Eri took a pause. She had just met this Reaper, but he seemed trustworthy. He seemed to hold similar convictions as they do. 

Eri: Yes.

Stain: Then rest up. When you meet up, tell him we accept his offer. 

Eri did as her Sensei said and went to sleep. When the sun rose, she and Stain trained until it was time for her to meet up with the vigilante. She decided to dress casually to avoid any unwanted attention. She exited the hideout and made her way towards the alleyway. As she walked, she eavesdropped on a conversation.

Male Teen: You heard about the Hero Killer taking on some kinda student?

Female Teen: I heard. It's bad enough we have that psychopath running around, but now we have two more Hero Killers!

Male Teen: Don't you think they have a point though? Don't you think Heroes who don't have our interests at heart deserve what they get?

Female Teen: You kidding me right?! Even if that's true, killing them isn't the solution! 

Male Teen: Maybe you're right!

Once the conversation ended, Eri continued to make her way to the alley. Hearing that conversation showed Eri that there were people who believed in what she and her Sensei were doing. She felt a sort of pride in that thought. When she got to the alleyway, she saw no one. Her patience began to run low until a male with long black hear wearing a leather jacket entered the alleyway. 

Male: You got business here?

Eri: Do you?

The male soon laughed as he revealed himself to the the Reaper.

Grim Reaper: So you're that Hero Killer from last night?

Eri: Call me Eri. I assume you don't want me to call you Reaper at this time. 

Grim Reaper: You make a good point. The name's Aizen. Aizen Hanzo. So I assume you got an answer for me?

Eri: Yes. I talked with Stain and he decided to accept your offer.

Aizen: Good call. Now that we're here, what do you want to know?

Eri: What do you know about Shie Hassaikai?

Aizen: Straight to the point huh? I like that. The Shie Hassaikai have been working on Trigger distribution for quite sometime. I've been trying to work my way towards the main distributors.

Eri: And?

Aizen: The ones I've killed never head any useful information. Just the same bullshit as that scumbag you were interrogating. Overhaul's been making serious moves against the Hero community. He's also got some other drug going around. Some kinda Quirk Destroying Drug.

Hearing about the Quirk Destroying Drug made Eri's heart stop. It was her biological material manifested from her Reverse Quirk that was responsible for creating it. As she seemed to get lightheaded, Aizen was puzzled.

Aizen: You know more about this then you're letting on? Care to explain. 

Eri regained her composure and flashed a terrifying glare at the young vigilanted. As she does so, the new #1 hero Deku appeared.

Deku: Is everything all right?

Without thinking, Eri pulled in Aizen over for a kiss as a distraction. When she let's go, Aizen is blushing red and rendered speechless.

Eri: Oh Aizen! I love you so much! 

Aizen: Uh........u......h......

Deku: My humble apologies young ones! I'll let you continue your business!

Deku then proceeded to leap high into the sky. When he was gone, Aizen regained his own composure.

Aizen: What the hell was that about?!

Eri: I didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. Especially from Deku!

Aizen: Next time give me a little warning!

Eri: Noted.

Aizen: As I was saying, you know more about Overhaul than you're letting on. Why not go ahead and tell me. We're now teammates after all.

Eri: That's none of your business! Don't make me regret trusting you!

Aizen: Whatever you say. I got my own personal business with Overhaul and his organization. The way I see it, we both need each other. But eventually, you're gonna have to tell me what exactly is going on between you and Overhaul. I don't want secrets to get me killed. 

Eri: Stain already accepted your offer. Why persist when it's clearly not needed. 

Aizen: Anyway, we're gonna need to find the Eight Expendables if we're gonna get anywhere near Overhaul and his drug operation.

Eri: And where would we start?

Aizen: Why not take me to your hideout and I'll tell Stain this. He is the boss of this little outfit.

Eri was hesitant to allow Aizen to come into the hideout. This was all sudden.

Eri: Why should I trust you?

Aizen: If I wanted to kill you two, you would already be dead. Now let's go! We got a job to do. 

Eri: Fine.

Eri soon led Aizen to the hideout to discuss a plan to reach Overhaul and his organization.
