Consistent (vigilante deku)

Charades (chap 18)

Izu's pov

I look around to find out why, only to see he's shielding a little boy holding a cat. He's hurt too, shit. Against my better judgement I head down and knock out a few people in the back, making sure to avoid the hero's eyes. Now only leaves a few guys who are blocking his vision. He starts fighting them off and I head to the roofs. I hide and peek out my head behind one of those big fan thingies. I load a dart gun, just enough to knock these guys' lights out. I usually don't use guns, even if they're darts, they leave bad aftertastes in my mouth, bad memories if you say. I aim and shoot at 2 of them, leaving only 3 left. Eraser knocks out 2 and the last guy is taken by me. He looks up in my direction and I quickly hide behind the vent thingy-mabob. I hear an audible sigh come from his mouth.

EH- "Hey. I know you're there vigilante. This is the closest I've ever been to you huh?"

I take out a notebook and pen and start scribbling on it. I decided using any type of voice would be a bad idea, and so would signing since he could just tell the size of my hands even if it's dark.

I- I guess so

EH- "What? Can't speak?"

I- No.

EH- "Okay. Well, you do realize I have to take you in right?"

I- Yup, it's your job is it not?

EH- "Funny. Now I need you to come down."

I- With those injuries you couldn't catch me even if I was walking

EH- "Wanna bet?"

I- Very funny. Quite childish for a teacher, no?

EH- "Teacher? You know about that?"

I- How could I not? Anyways here.

I tossed out some bandages to him. I accidentally hit him in the face but come on I wasn't looking.

I- So sorry! I didn't mean to hit you, I wasn't even aiming

EH- "Thanks. It's okay. If you want to make it up to me you could turn yourself in so I don't have to lose sleep."

I- I would if I could, but sadly I can't sorry Eraser

EH- "I knew that would be your answer"

I- You know, even if you did arrest me you couldn't keep me there.

EH- "What do you mean?"
I- I do all vigilante work quirkless. Not once have I used my quirk against someone no matter the situation. I haven't broken any laws. Unlike 90% of the police force I know all my rights and rules.

EH- "Wait seriously? Not a single time?"
I- I would tell you to bring Tsukauchi in to justify, but uhh can't speak so it's no point. I'm also not allowing myself any closer to a pro or cop or anyone who wants my ass in jail

EH- "We don't want to put you in jail

I- Don't mix in opinion with your job. You of all people should know how important your opinion is to the hero commission.

EH- "Yeah yeah I know all too well it doesn't mean jack shit to those assholes"

I- The hero commission won't let me free. I could be dying and they'd say too bad and speed up the process

EH- "You sure are talkative today"

I- This will probably be the only time I'll be as close as speaking to you ever. And you're the only exception cus you're my favorite hero, (He totally blushed at that, can't tell me otherwise- affoa)

EH- "Not if we catch you."

I- That is true, but have you had any luck so far? Even if you do all you could do would be ask questions which I'd refuse to answer without a lawyer and even then I would win the argument considering everything you have is in my favor

EH- "You're really difficult, you know that?"

I- Yeah that's what my parents said

EH- "Said? Past tense?"

I- Yup, just yesterday

I swear that gave me a heart attack. Luckily I managed to lie, it isn't hard considering it's through paper.

EH- "How old are you?"

I- You do realize these questions are pointless right?

EH- "Yes, but it was worth a shot. Okay how about this, why did you become a vigilante and not a hero?"

I- Simple really, I can't become one that option is cut out.

In truth it's because I'm not even old enough to be in middle school let alone highschool. He doesn't need to know that though.

EH- "What is that supposed to mean?"

I- It's personal. That's all for today, cya Eraser! Heal up!

I started to run off. I could hear him calling and running after me from behind. I jumped down into an alley and took many twists and turns. I went in a couple buildings and through others, forcing him to get on the ground with me. I continued to do this for a while until he got lost. I shook him off but didn't take any chances and decided to head underground through an entrance that you wouldn't see if you didn't know where it was. I sigh in relief as I slump against the wall. I'm getting better at escaping without quirk use. That was quite the pinch that I don't want to be in ever again. Jesus that was stupid. I knew he could come at me and capture me from a distance. I also knew that he could have seen me. I'm an 11 year-old so I'm short as heck! I don't want him making any assumptions about my age. That was close, way too close for comfort.

Zawa's pov

FUCKING SHIT HE WAS RIGHT THERE OR SHE WHO EVEN KNOWS AT THIS POINT! UGH I JUST LET HIM GO I CAN'T BELIEVE MYSELF! HOW IS HE SO GOOD AT RUNNING HE WAS ONLY A COUPLE FEET AWAY YET TURNED THAT INTO YARDS AND SO ON WHAT THE HELL! *breathes in* okay. I'm calm, I'm calm. I take in a few deep breaths and then bring my phone up to call Tsukauchi. It rings for a bit then he picks up.

T- "Hey what's up?"

EH- "I met him. The vigilante."

T- "What?!!?" (he spit out his coffee, 100%)

EH- "Even spoke to him well, I did the speaking, he just wrote on a notebook and had me read it."

T- "Well what happened? Fuck it, come to the station now we're going over it."

EH- "Okay."

I hung up and made my way there, of course I brought all the guys who attacked me there too. I dropped them off and headed to Tsukauchi's office. I knocked and he opened it up frantically. The man looked more sleep deprived than me, his hair was messy, his tie was loose with his shirt unbuttoned, he had coffee stains on his blouse, Jesus, he was in bad shape.

T- "Sit and explain everything. Now."

EH- "Fair warning, I didn't learn anything. Also he could have been lying."

T- "Doesn't matter, just speak."

EH- 'Okay. I was protecting this kid and his cat from this large group of men of about 9. They were completely surrounding me and I had my back against the wall trying to keep the kid safe. 7 of them came at me at the same time while the other 2 were doing god knows what. Then there were only 5 left. I had no clue what was going on since they were blocking my vision. Next thing I knew 2 guys were on the floor with darts in their necks. I took out the other 2 and was about to take out the 3rd when he dropped to the floor unconscious."

I proceed to explain the entire thing, not missing a single detail. He listened intently while taking notes.
