Izuku skipped happily down the street heading back towards his dads' house, he was only a few blocks away before a tugging feeling in his gut started to bug him. Something was wrong and Izuku wasn't sure what it was.

Nearing the opening of an alleyway to the side of the footpath Izuku idly surveyed his surroundings, spotting a group of people within the alleyway. He almost did a double-take, looking back into the alleyway with wide eyes, someone needed help.

And that someone was staring straight back at him, eyes blown wide in terror. Said someone, who appeared to be around Izuku's age was surrounded by a group of older looking students. The kid on the ground wasn't wearing a uniform and his clothes seemed dirty and torn, but Izuku wasn't one to judge, he quietly shuffled into the alleyway and urged the purple-haired boy to remain quiet until Izuku knew what he was potentially going up against.

As he neared a familiar and comforting feeling arose in his stomach, he could sense all of their quirks. There were four kids in total, counting the purple-haired boy. One of the older kids had black hair with streaks of red who Izuku assumed to be the leader had a paralysing quirk. The two others, one a girl with curly brown hair had an appearance altering quirk the other, a boy with orange short hair had a reflex quirk. However, the quirk that caught Izuku's interest the most was the purple-haired boy slumped over against the side of the alleyway, his face clearly showing both pain and fear. His quirk was brainwashing, Izuku could work with that, although he only had one shot. He had to assume how the boy's quirk worked and considering the attackers currently weren't brainwashed did give Izuku some information.

It wasn't touch-based or the guy with the paralysing quirk would be down.

It wasn't freely, or the boy wouldn't be in this situation.

So that left one option... verbally initiated brainwashing.

Izuku hoped it'd be something simple, like answering a question or otherwise he'd have to make either the purple-haired ears bleed with Yamada's quirk or send three students to the hospital with a kick to the head.

However, he did want to try something first...

Using Aizawa's quirk that he'd picked up fully by now from being around him for so long he disabled the oldest looking kid's quirk, which allowed the boy to freely move again.

Cool, Izuku hoped that would work- now he has one less issue to deal with.

The purple-haired boy didn't move though, his eyes only briefly flickering to Izuku's hidden shape in the shadows were Izuku was planning his next move. The boy was sure his sudden ability to move again was caused by the appearance of the stranger.

Said stranger suddenly moved from the shadows into the light, catching the boy off guard from his appearance. The boy had green fluffy hair and eyes that sparkled in the light that did manage to find its way into the alleyway. The boy looked so innocent yet the aura around him gave off other vibes.
