Izuku was looking up at the stars as they twinkled off in the distance, he was outside and nearly late for curfew but he didn't care. Not after the dark revelation he heard about today, the one that sickened him to his stomach. He needed to clear his head
"Problem kid?" a random voice asked
"Just a situation I've come across" Izuku said sighing
"And that is what exactly?" the voice asked
"A girl who's quirk is forcibly being weaponized, this new weapon is a anti-quirk bullet which damaged the Plus Alpha factor of the quirk" Izuku explained
"I see, and what do you plan to do about it?"
"I want to rescue her, but I can't. Since if I do that I'll be a vigilante and get in trouble with the teachers at school again" Izuku said
"I see, so what do you want to do?" the voice asked
"Save her" Izuku said
"Sounds like a plan, so tell me; wanna join?" the voice asked
"Join wha-" Izuku asked as his question died in his throat "you're...you're"
"Black Lightning at your service" the voice said
"No way, I thought you retired!" Izuku shouted
"Certain circumstances required my return to active service" Black Lightning said
"All Might" Izuku said saddened
"So what's your name kid?" he asked
"Izuku Midoriya, but my hero name is Deku" Deku said
"Deku, huh? All Might's mentioned you before" Black Lightning said "You got a costume?"
"Sure" Deku said
"Better get it and suit up" Black Lightning said
"Yes sir"
Soon Deku was adjusting his special Iron soled boots for his style of combat he called 'Shoot style'
"Not a bad costume" Black Lightning said as Deku looked up to see Black Lightning in a new costume, this one was mostly black with navy blue on the upper arms and leg and two lightning bolts coloured silver, but on the outside of each lightning bolt was neon yellow while the inside of the bolts were neon blue, the silver gauntlets on his arms had the same neon lightning scheme. Shall we?"
"yeah" Deku said pulling up his mouth guard and walked along Black Lightning. The two were going to save who Deku couldn't. Soon they reached the place they suspected held a hideout. Black Lightning indicated he would go first and check things out. Deku nodded and stood on standby. Inside the building Black Lightning could see that it was cleared out and pretty quickly.
"FREEZE!" a goon who was there to stand guard said as he pointed a rifle at Black Lightning. The lightning hero just sighed and blasted the thug with electricity before seeing a note on the goon, which gave some information. Walking outside Black Lightning indicated to Deku to follow him
"They're not here" Black Lightning said
"Then here are they?" Deku asked shocked
"I'm not sure about the main group, but the girl is at a clinic, one that acts as a hospital and has been used for back market deals and operations" Black Lightning said
"Then when are we going to go and visit this clinic?" Deku asked
"Now" Black Lightning said as the pair walked off.
An hour later they got to the hospice and waited before walking forward as two guards walked out, Deku ran forward and activated One For All's Full Cowl mode and kicked one of them while Black Lightning shot the other one with his quirk allowing the two to enter safely. Deku looked pissed and had to be eased up by Black Lightning
"You need to lower your anger and remain focused Deku, and if you can't then that means you'll be no help to that little girl understand?" Black Lightning asked
"Yes, I understand but I can't help but be mad" Deku said "I just want to help her, after all its my fault she's in this mess."
"Deku, you are not the reason she is in this mess, nor are you the reason All-Might lost his powers" Black Lightning said "Don't think I knew about your feelings about that, All-Might's a good friend of mine. So I knew he had chosen you for a successor" Black Lightning said "Now come on we have a young maiden to save" he said.
Black Lightning moved up while Deku was following him cautiously
"HEY!" a goon said before he was shot with electricity and thrown back by Deku's kick. Suddenly four more goons came out, one of them snorted and sneezed
"Explosive snot?" Deku asked
"That's a first" Black Lightning said absorbing the electricity in the light before throwing it as the booger user "Seriously disgusting" he sneered. Deku turned around and put energy into his leg which he brought down and destroy the walkway behind them, while making a shortcut for their use
"That will slow them down a bit" Deku said as the pair ran off. They kept looking for their target while dealing with the goon
"BOSS!" one goon got to a phone, but was electrocuted when Black Lightning shocked the phone. Deku peeked around the corner and looked back and signalled up ahead, making Black Lightning nod in confirmation.
Eri was scared, she had been moved from the dark room to this white room, she looked over and saw the machine that was used on her more clearly and she was terrified. Suddenly she heard fighting outside her door and curled up into a ball. The door opened
"Hey" a soft and kind voice said, looking up Eri saw it was the young man who helped her, standing behind him was another man, this looked older and had dark skin. "Do you remember me?"
"Yes" she whispered
"Okay, don't worry we're here to get you out" Deku said
"Thank you" Eri said as Deku picked her up and became serious, placing his face mask back on and glared at the door. The two heroes walked out of their leaving all of the goons of Overhaul laying on the ground.
"Someone call the boss" one of them groaned as another one went for a phone
Once they stepped outside into a now raining night Black Lightning went over to a fusebox and shorted it out
"They don't have any backup generators" Black Lightning said "So kid, where should we take this little cutie?" he asked
"I was thinking of bringing her to the UA dorms" Deku said
"Good thinking, besides I want to talk with your headmaster as well" Black Lightning said as the three walked off. Suddenly the hospital blew up, the three turned and looked at the burning building before looking at each other
"Run" the heroes said
Deku and Eri walked back into the dorms of UA quickly and quietly. Deku removed his face mask and made a quiet gesture with his finger over his mouth and was about to walk thought the lounge room when it suddenly became brighter
"Deku you damn nerd!" Bakugo, a classmate and old friend of Izuku snarled
"Kacchan" Izuku exclaimed as Eri hid behind him
"Where were you Midoriya?" Momo, the vice class rep asked
"Strolling" Izuku
"And who's the girl?" Iida the class rep asked
"A girl I found on the street" Deku shrugged
"No way, it's that Eri girl that Nighteye and the others were talking about"
"Thanks for blowing my cover Kirishima" Izuku groaned
"But what is she doing here?" Uraraka asked
"It's a long story" Izuku said
"Tell it you bastard: Bakugo said
"Even though he's tone was not right, he's decision is, tell us what happened" Momo said "You two as well"
"It's like this" Izuku said
"And then we came here and tried to sneak in" Izuku recapped the story with Uraraka and Kirishima
"wait you worked with Black Lightning?" Kaminari asked
"Yeah I did" Izuku said as he noticed Eri was fast asleep. The girls all cooed at this and Uraraka took her
"I think we'll put her up with one of the girls tonight" she said smiling
"Good idea" Izuku said
"We'll bring her to you if she freaks out okay?" Momo said
"Okay" Izuku said as everyone left
"Man, oh man is Nighteye going to be pissed" Kirishima said
"Only if we tell him" Izuku said
"What do you mean?"
"Black Lightning was going to talk to someone on campus about something" Izuku said
"I wonder what" Kirishima said
Black Lightning walked down the halls of UA to the only lit room in the hallway. Upon walking in there he saw three people, one of them was a weird bear, rat, dog hybrid
"Ah Jefferson, how good to see you out and about on active service" one of them said
"Good to be back on duty Toshinori, Eraserhead, Nedzu" Black Lightning said as he got himself
"So what did you want to talk about?" Nedzu the hybrid asked.
G'day guys Grizz here and welcome to a new idea I've had. Now I've been wanting to do a My Hero Academia fic for a while and since DC comics is making a show about their hero Black Lightning I thought I might test the waters with both of them. Now this is just a test and I may do another MHA fic in the future, but for now I'm not sure if I'll work on this one or not. And I'll also put it in the crossover section if it becomes successful
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
