What's A Hero? , Vigilante Izuku AU (Original writing)

The Underground

The figure crept across the rooftops. This vigilant was on a tracking mission, they needed an underground hero's assistance on a special case, and they were hoping to find a particularly quiet hero.

The mysterious vigilant followed the path that this hero usually took in the late afternoon of autumn. They hated heights but knew they had to see this trip through.

Crossing tentatively over a narrow gap between two mid-length skyscrapers, the person looked down and gasped before they fully realised they'd been spotted. A slip and the person stumbled forward to be captured in a strong, cream-grey capture weapon. "Phew... ", they sighed as they were pulled back to safety.

"I don't know why you're so relieved." a gruff voice stated. The vigilant looked up and smiled in gratitude. The man who stood in front of her was the underground hero Erasure Head.

"Hi!" The female greeted. "I thought I was going to die, but you saved me. I also needed to find you so I'm happy that my job is easier!", the vigilant instinctively tried to put her hand out, but found her arms were tightly bound to her sides. The hero received a glare of impatience before he stepped closer.

"Why are you looking for me, who sent you and who are you?", Erasure Head had both hands wrapped with his support item, threatening to tighten its grip.

The vigilant shifted ever so slightly, and tilted their head. "Another vigilante party is aware that you are part of the Wolf Spider search squad, they sent me to find you because we believe the kid is gonna land himself in a dangerous situation. As for the groups name, I will not give that to you, but you can call me Discasis." Erasure Head perked up at the name, now that he thought about it he recognised the costume from the very short clip on the news. "My party decided that it'd be better for me to go because I'm not a fighter, I'm a technical genius." she clarified happily.

The hero retracted his weapon and let Discasis stand, she rubbed her arms and pulled up her gloves up again. "Tell me," the hero began, "What sort of trouble is the kid in?" He cast an emotionless glance at the other, who's posture was slacked with confidence. He would never show the spot of fear that was blossoming for the kid to a stranger.

The vigilante turned and began to carefully wander back the way she came. "I don't know exactly since I haven't seen him since the mall incident, but he's after some very dangerous people right now." She hopped over the gap as the hero silently followed.

"You haven't seen him in six months? Funny, I haven't come across him since four months ago. You're not good on roofs are you?" The tired-eyed hero asked, the second question as the vigilant tripped on some cablework.

"Hate them, hate heights - like the only downside of this mission, well, except almost dying," she replied with a seething hiss on the end, "Thanks again. Anyway follow me!", she slid down a fire escape rails to the ground. Erasure Head jumped down, using his gear to land without injury.

Erasure huffed in annoyance, "Should I question where you're taking me?" the pair was currently running down an alleyway.

The women leaped over a dump of rubbish bags while answering, "Like your status, I am going to take you to the underground. The secret villain-vigilante society. The entrance I'm taking you to is a once in a decade passage to where high ranking visitors can access the system, so you won't be able to get back in a second time," she stopped to turn around, pointing a rude finger at the hero. "Hide your identity."

The hero understood the situation, tying his gear around his arms and torso, he proceeded to tie up his hair in a ponytail. The vigilant threw a dirty clothe at the shorter man and the hero used it to cover his hair. Not many people knew him so he didn't worry too much about his belt and face.
