A/N: Sorry these are so bad 😹 Hope you are going well!

Aizawa's POV

I was out on patrol, quite late when a scream echoed across the city. I ran towards it, hoping I was in time. I peered over the edge of the building that was located next to the alleyway. A man was pinned against the dead end with two figures in front. A dark green blob jumped down and separated them. The original man who was in danger made a break for it, escaping and leaving his savior behind. "Why hello there, thank you for dropping in. What might your name be?" The first attacker asked, malice dripping from his voice. A muffle response came from the boy. The person replied. "Well, Mizu neko, my name is Tomura Shigaraki, better remember it 'cause it's the last name you'll hear." Damn, he was in trouble. I could not step in or I may risk making things worse. 'Tomura' rushed forwards, grabbing the boy's wrist. My eyes widened as it began to crumple. A hiss of pain could be heard coming from the teen. "Does this go any faster or do I just wait till it kills me?" No no no no! Kid stop, you're just making this go downhill. The older male growled. He then grabbed his other hand and firmly placed it on his chest. The surprise made the decaying process speed up, resulting in a huge dent laying in the boy's torso. Shoot kid! What are you doing! He used the shock to free his wrist and kick the man in the head. Smart..

He ran. 

I followed, leaping from the roof. He stumbled, slowing as blood poured from his wounds, staining the pavement red. At this rate he's going to die from blood loss. I heard a chuckle and nearly lost it. Why was he laughing?! As I followed him (*cough* stalker *cough*) I realized he was heading to the beach. Why? He picked up his pace and practically dove into the trash that flooded it. I waited before following the scarily noticeable and constant blood trail. It seemed to stop out side a bus with the windows painted black. Hmm. I could burst in, but for all I know, he could be trying to fix himself, and me just running in could worsen the wound. I noticed a hole in the metal work, scorched in the wall. Perfect. I peered through. A child of about 19 was laying on a bed, asleep. The room, if you could call it that, was messy. Like, really messy. Blueprints and scraps of metal carpeted the floor. How do you live like this?! I decided to go in. I made my way back to the entrance, careful not to make a sound. I slid open the door and stepped in. The rest of the bus was separated from the bedroom by a metal plate, welded in place. A makeshift kitchen, complete with a fridge greeted me. I wandered into the bedroom and a metallic scent suffocated me. Christ, this kid needs a doctor. And fast. I scooped him up and made my way out, careful not to touch anything. My mind flashed, trying to navigate the nearest hospital. Shoot. All too far, UA might just work...

Time skip brought to you by the fact I need to do schoolwork and not this

Izuku's POV

Ouch. The heck happened last night? Oh.. Right, getting disintegrated. I swear Mondays are cursed or something. I rolled over, stretching, and fell off the bed. Son of a-. I slowly opened my eyes, darkness lingering at the edge of my vision. Hold the fishsticks. Where the heck am I? I stood up and brushed down my.. Hospital gown? Oh... How did I get here? Someone followed me? Eh. The door slowly was pushed open, a small lady walking in. "Oh, you're awake!" I blinked. "Recovery girl? What.. Am I at UA?!" I panicked. Someone knew where I lived. She chuckled. "I'm surprised you recognise me, most people think I am just an old lady. And yes you are at UA. Eraserhead brought you in. If he hadn't, you probably would have died from blood loss or infected the wounds." I raised one eyebrow. "So? People die all the time, most more important than me. I'm an orphan so my parents won't miss me, the only person who will is my friend. Why bother wasting resources on me?" She looked me dead in the eye and opened her mouth to respond. "Glad to see you're awake, kid." Eraserhead shoved the door open, pacing in. "Why did you help me?" I asked bluntly. "It was the right thing to do, you have saved many people in the four years you've been doing this," He gestured wildly at me "Plus, if I don't save one nineteen year-old what kind of a hero am I?" He crossed his arms. I was shocked. I began to uncontrollably laugh. I bent over, wheezing and curled up on the floor. "Pffffff you think- you think that- ....I hate to break it to you, Eraser, but I'm not nineteen.." I rolled around, trying to calm down (A/N Why am I laughing whilst writing him laughing?!) "How old are you then?" I snorted. "It doesn't matter". His eyes widened for  second, then he smiled. "Anyway, we need to talk about last night, kid." Curses. I was hoping to avoid that topic. "Follow me, to somewhere more private." I shrugged and trailed behind him. We arrived at a interrogation room about three minutes away and sat down. A detective walked in, no doubt here to charge and arrest me. Good luck with that. "Oh. Hey there Tsukauchi! How you doing?" he looked taken aback for a few seconds before smiling. "Good, you?"I paused. "Could be better, you know, with the whole disintegration thing." I replied. "About that, I saw what you did and want to know your reasoning, why would you let him hurt you?" 

"Well, it gave the other man a chance to escape."

"But you got injured yourself."

"Not the first time."

"You then used him to disintegrate your chest."

"It was needed for me to get my wrist free. Plus the surprise would make him loosen his hold."

Tsukauchi decided to interrupt. "Anyway, on to the questions. Who are you?"

Tsukauchi's POV

The kid sighed. "Well, Most people call me Mizu neko, or Mizu for short, I wanted to help people but I couldn't be a hero 'cause I'm legally dead." True. It took me a second to process this. "What's your name?" He visibly stiffened. "Kyono Mizuniki." False. "Your real name." He smiled. "You already know that." True. "Where do you live?" He rolled his eyes. "Where Eraser found me." True. I blinked. I had suspected a response like that, but to have it confirmed was a whole different ball game. I asked a few more questions before letting him go. Nezu had planned to kidnap him, once we found where he lived, and blackmail him to join UA, (He always did minimal damage, never killed, and put the victim as top priority even in the darkest hour, so he most likely wouldn't harm the students) but he just fell into Nezu's tiny paws. He had answered one of my questions, ("How long do you think you could go to jail for because of your actions?") with "I have never used my quirk and always acted in self defense, so I can't be charged for anything.". He was right.. Smartass.
