Izuku POV


I was so happy that I got to meet Present Mic! He even walked me to school and talked to me!!! I can't wait to go home and tell Ma- oh yeah.. no, that won't happen. I can't even tell anyone because they'll think I'm lying or it would get the reporters after him.. I just hoped I would be able to see him again! He's so cool! I smiled brightly at the thought of getting to see him again. My happiness was short-lived as Kaachan and three of his friends began conversing. I sighed inaudibly as I knew I was in for a day full of teasing. Despite this, I smile and continue to think of possibilities if I see Present Mic again. This began to grow into seeing Eraserhead which reality soon grappled me out of that rabbit whole of false hope. There were only around 5 videos of him, despite him being as good as he is. But, he's an underground hero which adds on to the unlikeliness of the situation I imagined. I took a mental note to check out my computer to see if I could find any videos. Oh. What about Mama? I thought to myself. "It'll be okay" "pfft, yeah right. It'll burn to ash" I heard two voices say but I brushed it off as my subconscious fighting for the most rational answer.


I followed Kaachan for the majority of the day since I had no other friends. I mean, yeah, they kind of teased me, but that's what all friends do, right? "No, they should be nice to you!" "ha! just wait until you get older.". I flinched at the transition of the first gentle and smooth voice to the rough rugged one. I continued to follow Kaachan home since I didn't really know the way and made sure to pay attention to everything around me.

Pain. Cold. Fear.

That's all that I could feel. Mama had gotten angry again and she had started hitting me. I don't blame her though, she's just stressed!.. I still loved her. I think I always will; even when she hurts me, there's always a slight chance she'll get her anger under control and will be nice again. Maybe Dad will even come back! Though, it's not like I can ask Mama about it. I was snatched back into reality when I ran into a wall. "O-ow!" I exclaimed, rubbing my nose which had received the brunt of the attack. "Turn left down the alleyway!" I heard someone say. Not wanting to find out what would happen if I didn't oblige, I ran as fast as my cut legs would carry me (the cut legs were Mamas' doing). "Take a right!" another voice hissed at me as I checked my hands to see which side was right. I turned down the right side of the alleyway and was met with what looked like two people fighting. I felt my eyes widen in shock as I recognized one as the (underground) pro hero Eraserhead. I was too tired and invested in the fight and taking mental notes to run back, so I hid behind a conveniently placed garbage bin. I peeked out, making just the top half of my face visible. I watched Eraserhead closely, taking mental notes to copy into my hero analysis book when I get home. As I watched him fight, it kind of reminded me of a dancer. The way he gracefully dodged the thugs punches and kicks and threw his own made me feel at ease. The thug was soon knocked out and restrained and I silently cheered for Eraserhead. I saw him pull out his phone and attempt to maneuver it into a position where it would get signal, but not get any response. He was turning towards my direction and began walking, eyes seemingly fixed on his phone. I immediately yanked my head back and covered my mouth to prevent the sound of my breathing to be heard. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to silently cover myself in garbage, trying not to hurt my leg further in the process.

I had just beat another thug, this one was the seventh so far tonight. It isn't even midnight. Hell, it isn't even 10PM! I sighed as I attempted to get signal on my idiotic phone to call Arimitsu. I knew he'd be excited for another thug, he's having a competition with the 43rd precinct of the Keisatsu-chō* to see who can bring in the most perps. I sighed from tiredness just from thinking about all the late nights and extra effort they put in, slightly shaking my head whilst doing so. I readjusted my focus back to my phone as I went back up the alleyway a bit, attempting to get signal. As I began walking, I saw something move from the corner of my eyes. I ignored it, placing the blame on some sort of rat, and began walking. I made sure to walk with caution and see what it was because it could be that stupid thugs partner or something.

I traipsed, still being wary of what was behind the garbage. I sighed in frustration as one bar flashed on and off towards the area of the garbage bin. I walked towards the garbage bin, ready to either attack or be grossed out by some rat. What I definitely wasn't expecting, was a young boy. He looked around five and he looked pale. 'Could be his quirk. But what the actual fuck is a kid doing out alone at this time?' I thought to myself, grazing my eyes over him. I then saw the presumably actual reason he was so pale; In his left leg there was two stab wounds, and they were pretty deep. I curse under my breath and pick the kid up. I used some of the bandages hidden in my scarf to cover his wounds and applied pressure to them to stop the bleeding. I sighed in annoyance as I finally got signal and called Arimitsu about the thug and the kid. "I'll send Mei and Jingyu and an ambulance, we'll trace your location so don't worry about it." his words replayed in my head like a broken record. I began pacing back and forth with the small figure in my arms as I kept him close to me, trying to prevent him getting a cold. I felt the small child become restless and begin to struggle as I slowly began to let go.

Darkness. That's all I could see. I began struggling, trying to regain my sight. I began to panic until I felt the pressure from around me be lifted and I was sat on something- no, this was someone; this was somebody's' hip? I opened my eyes slowly and looked up, but nothing would prepare me for what I would see.
































Eraserhead. The Eraserhead. I began grinning wildly and speaking a mile a minute as he looked exhausted. "OHMYGODYOUREERASERHEADOHMYGODIMIZUKUMIDORIYAICANTBELIEVEIMACTUALLYMEETINGYOUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIMETPRESENTMICASWELLOHMYGOD!!" I finally sucked in a breath as I stated something much calmer than I had before "I think I'm going to cry." I stated calmly, oblivious to the tears already streaming my face. Eraserhead wiped some of my unnoticed tears and said "You already are, kiddo. You should calm down, y'know." I grinned brightly as I could have swore I saw a faint smile on his face. All of a sudden, I heard sirens and flashes of red and blue filled the alleyway. The sirens came to a halt, but the lights continued to flash. I saw four people come running, two were in paramedic outfits and the other two were in police uniforms. I look up at Eraserhead to see him deep in thought until one of the police officers said "Hey, Eraser! Arimitsu sent us! Is that the kid?" he looked over to the officer that spoke tiredly and said "Yeah, he seems to have two stab wounds in his left semimembranosus, I've applied pressure he needs around 5mg of diprivan to sedate him since he is estimated to be around 30 pounds." I caught the most of what he said apart from a few words as a paramedic picked me up. I realized I was being carried away after a few seconds and called out "Bye Eraserhead!" he looked towards me and waved. I grinned brightly despite the immense pain I was in. I was slightly disappointed I didn't get anything signed, but I would have the stab wounds for a long time and they would be like a reminder. I smiled gently at the paramedic and nodded my head as they warned me about a needle. I never really liked injections, but I didn't mind. I began to feel tired as the paramedic sat me on the gurney and got me to lay down. I yawned and obliged, letting sleep take over me.
