The sound of the train doors closing. The cars that splash through the rain puddles. The smell of freshly prepared ramen. This was the village where I had spent much of my life. As warm and familiar as it felt, a voice in me said it was time for something new. Change.

I push myself out through the crowd of students. It is raining and I quickly open my umbrella. I walk to the train station with fast, big steps. It has been a year since I moved to this new city for my study. I was often told; why didn't you become a hero with such a great quirk? No thanks, I have my own reasons for that.

The train is already arriving in the distance, I quickly shake out my umbrella and close it.

The train compartment has an oppressive smell of wet coats. I notice a spot by the window and sit down. I look around. Opposite to me sits a woman with a long coat and green hair that she has half up in a ponytail. In the seats behind me I can hear some boys talking.
"Did you read about that villain in the news?"
"No, what happened?!"
"It appears he has committed several murders, but his quirk is still unclear."
'Scary...'

Yes, scary, I think to myself. It turns out that in general more villains pop up in this area than in the rest of Japan. The ironic thing is that this city has the prestigious hero school; UA high. Residents should't be scared. I look at the screen and see that I am already at my station. I quickly get up and walk down the aisle. I notice that the boys have to go out too, and I let them go first.

I decide to buy an iced coffee at the seven eleven on the platform. But then, when I leave the store after checkout, everything goes very quickly. I see a kind of half monster, half human-like villain going wild on the platform. I stand there, frozen in shock, with my iced coffee. A few people run towards the villain. Are they heroes? I take a closer look. No, wait... Those are the guys from just now, on the train! Do they plan to fight that monster alone ?! I have to help them, but how?
Without thinking further, I let everything fall from my hands and run towards it. I see other people at the station are already running away, but I can't. In the corner of my eye I see one of the boys almost being hit from behind by a claw from the monster (or man?). I grab the boy and... fwoosh  .We land a little further on the platform. I see a surprised look on his face. 'What happened-'
"No time for explanation!" I say, "we still have to help your friends."
I return to the fight, which to my surprise is already over? Wait, is that... "ALL MIGHT !?", I shout. Slightly too loud. The boy I saved has now risen. "Fortunately, All Might is here ...", I hear him say. Then he turns to me. "Thank you for saving me! How did you do that? What is your quirk? "
"Well, um ... to keep it simple: I can teleport to where I was 30 seconds ago." I say, "... but it only works if-" I notice he's already gone back to his friends . There is no trace of All Might. I walk away a little disappointed. Then I hear a call behind me. "Hey! You there, what was your name ?! "It's the boy from just now. "Y / N!" I call back. He walks over to me. 'My name is-'
A train rushes past, its name remains a mystery.
