Chapter Text
*Izuku’s POV *
Izuku was getting bored. It was painfully easy to take down this criminal and his lackeys. He looked over the swaying villain to the pile of the unconscious ones.
Hmm… He calculated how much force it would take to get the villain to land on top of the others and readied himself. He spun around and thrust his leg up to knock him down. They were all knocked out cold. Izuku huffed in satisfaction, he’s never been able to pull off a spinning hook kick perfectly.
The hair on the back of his neck rose and he quickly moved out of the way of a familiar capture scarf.
“Nexus Rōrāsukēto. Very impressive. Why don’t you put those skills to better use and become a hero?” A low voice that was very dear to him said. If you can’t tell, that was sarcasm. Nexus was added on lovingly by the police, and it meant corresponding events.
In the low light, Izuku shrugged.
Eraserhead growled. “Come on Kid. Please-”
Izuku cut him off and signed “I’m not a kid!”
He thought it would be a good idea to learn sign language so he wouldn’t get recognized. He learned American and Japanese sign language, just in case he ever went to America to see his- Nevermind that’s not important right now.
Eraser’s eyes glowed red, indicating that his quirk was activated, and he readied his scarf.
The dark-haired man rolled his eyes. “Yeah right, and I’m not a teacher at UA. Nexus, please don’t throw your life away.”
“You work at UA?” Izuku said completely throwing sign language out the window but remembering to lower his voice.
Eraser, stunned from never hearing his voice, stared in shock. Izuku promptly took this time to quickly skate to him and pull his capture scarf.
When he finally got out of the scarf by cutting it away, he turned only to realize that the roller skater was gone.
From his place on the roof, Izuku heard the quiet mutter of “Dammit” and watched as Eraser handcuffed the fallen criminals.
If he had stayed longer Izuku would have heard the pro saying “Don’t worry kid, I’ll save you. I promise.”
~~ *time skip because I’m lazy* ~~
Izuku was out for a walk, He needed to go to the library to pick up a new book. He didn’t really have school anymore, he had graduated long since then, but he still loved learning and mastering new things.
He heard familiar explosions behind him and Izuku turned. Shit. School must already be out.
Bakugo Katsuki in all his glory was glaring down at him. “Watcha got there Deku?”
“Nothing K-Kacchan, it’s j-just-” Dammit. He thought he got the stuttering handled. Apparently not.
Just because Izuku went to an online school, it didn’t deter bullies like Kacchan.
Kacchan snatched his notebook out of his hands and Izuku could do nothing about it. Frozen in fear.
“‘Hero Analysis for My Future’ What is this shit?” Kacchan sneered and his equerry behind him jeered. “You’re still on about being a hero fucking nerd?!”
“K-kacchan, it-it can’t hurt to try”
Kacchan scoffed and burned the notebook. “Like you could ever be a hero. Why don’t you do us all a favor and take a swan dive off a roof and pray for a quirk in your next life?”
Everything froze. For him at least. Kacchan and his friends were all laughing. It felt like forever before Kacchan threw the notebook into a nearby puddle and left.
“What an idiot. What if I actually considered it?” Izuku murmured to himself as he picked up the soaking wet notebook. “He’d be charged for suicide baiting and then he’d never become a hero.”
Izuku put on his rollerskates and decided that today was not a library day. He decided he would take a short cut heading back home.
