The Rabbit's First Leap

December 12th, xxxx.

A figure sat perched on a building, their long hair swaying in the night breeze. They sighed, bored perhaps, and spoke to themself.

"There really hasn't been much action lately, the villains sure have been quiet...I wonder what they're planning..." The figure spoke, voice slightly muffled by the mask they dawned.

They sighed once more, glancing over the area for the third time, checking for any suspicious activity. Radioactive eyes scanned the area, looking for something, anything to do in the otherwise uneventful evening, that was when the almost fluorescent green eyes locked onto a suspicious figure walking into a nearby 24hr store. The figure smirked to themself, before speaking.

"Finally I get some action.."
The man said before swiftly desending from the building, and towards their destination.

He snuck in through the doors, and layed low, waiting for the time to strike, watching the suspicious figure closely. The figure then pulled out a medium sized handgun, and pointed it the cashier, yelling at them to hand over any, and all money in the register.

Izuku sighed, 'its like those awfully staged crime movies', he thought, and he edged his way towards the criminal. Once close enough, Izuku swiftly hit the mans' neck, knocking him out in one hit, the criminal's body collapsing onto the store floor. He then glanced up to the frightened cashier, and reassured them that he was not the enemy.

"There's no need for you to panic anymore, I'm a hero."
Izuku stated showing them his license.

The worker visibly relaxed, before thanking Izuku for his work.

He nodded in agknowledgement before lifting up the criminal from the floor, hoisting the man over his shoulder, and existing the store, making a be-line for the nearest police station.

-

Izuku sighed as he exited the police station, rubbing his temples to try and sooth his newly arrived headache.
The police had at first thought he was a villain turning himself in (they somehow didn't see the man hanging on his shoulder), which resulted in Izuku having to present his liscense to the police.

He sighed once more as he made his way back to his humble abode, aka his sad apartment with his three cats.

アトラ (Atora } Atla)

Izuku grabbed his keys and silently unlocked his door, Yuki immediately running towards him.

"You're hungry huh?, Alright just a minute" he said, as he slipped off his shoes. He trudged over to his bedroom, and slipped off his hero suit, making a mental note to wash it before his next patrol. Izuku then stepped out of his room, and went to the kitchen, grabbing the large bag of cat food, and filling all three bowls up. Once finished, Izuku went into his living room, and collapsed on the couch, reaching out to grab his remote, before switching on the television.

~ ( a week later during Izuku's patrol) ~

Izuku was jumping from rooftop to rooftop searching for something to do, that was until someone decided it was a good idea to just, jump onto his back, which resulted in both of them landing on the roof of some random building.

*groan* "Damn that freaking hurt" He glanced up towards the other man.

"Ah, the hero killer stain, is there something you want from me?"

"You're that new hero right? I just want to talk." He spoke getting off of Izuku.

"You could've y'know not jumped ontop of me though..." Izuku replied dusting off himself

"What are your goals hero? What are your ideals?" He questioned

" My goal is to make people feel safe at night, I'm not sure what my true ideal is yet, but i'll tell you this, I do not do any of my hero work for my own benefit. I know thats the reason you're asking me, theres really not anything I can benefit for being a hero anyway, all I want to do is help people."

"Whats your quirk kid?" (I found out the hero killer is the same age as aizawa in canon o.o, i thought he was way older....)

"First off I highly doubt i'm much younger than you, so don't call me kid, and i'm quirkless."

" you say you want to help people huh? How do you help me then? A man who has killed over 20 pro-heroes in the span of a few months.?"

"Well first off, I would ask you why you're killing the heroes, is there any particular reason?" He questioned quirking an eyebrow.
"They're fakes, all of them, they all wanted to be heroes just to help themselves.." he growled, his face showing disgust.
" how are you so sure that they are doing it ONLY for themselves though? Do you have any proof ?"
"Well no- but-" he answered before getting cut off,
"Well then why are you killing them? Just because you believe they're doing hero work for their own benefit? "
Stains eyes widened a fraction, now realising the point the kid was trying to make
"You never really thought of that have you?
"I-no" he replied dejectedly.

" i'll tell you this, as long as you promise not to kill anymore people and turn yourself in, i'll make sure your jail sentence is at least reduced or even revoked if im lucky, so you can get back to a normal life as soon as possible. How does that sound?"
Stains eyes widened a fraction more before managing to speak out, "you would do that for someone like me?" He guestioned astonishingly.
"Why not? I am a hero after all, its my job to save people, no matter who they are or what they've done, thats how it should be." Izuku replied smiling

Stains mouth suddenly turn into a absolutely terrifying grin. "I like you, kid" he said his grin reaching his ears.
"I told you not to call me kid!"
Stain bellowed out a genuine laugh, something in which he hadn't done in a long, long time.
