General Warnings: GEN, Vigilantes AU, But it's not really an AU they just have a secret life outside of school, not really serious, Alcohol, Drugs, Crime, Starts off in Teiko Era, Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this


Summary: Midorima falls down (is dragged down) a (mostly metaphorical) rabbit hole. It is, simultaneously, the best and worst thing to ever happen to him. (Aka, the Vigilante AU you never knew you wanted.)


Author's Notes: This was written for cywscross' Fandom Bingo. It was originally gonna be a superpowers AU but then it turned...not. So. Just roll with it. :D


Chapter 1: Down the Rabbit Hole


"Every adventure requires a first step. Trite, but true, even here."


"I thought you're supposed talk me OUT of this sort of thing!" Kazunari complained into the headset.

Tetsuya, bastard that he was, ignored him.

"I don't get why I'm the one doing this anyway," Kazunari grumbled, peering around the corner. "Isn't this sort of thing more up your alley?"

"We flipped a coin," Tetsuya reminded him, mild as milk. "You lost." As usual, he didn't say. Kazunari heard it anyway.

"That's because you picked the game this time!" Kazunari whined, even as he ducked into the nearest room ― a bathroom ― and began looking for an exit. "You always win the coin flips! And jan-ken-po! Every time! How is that even possible?!"

"Perhaps you should consider using something other than rock when we play." Tetsuya offered.

"I like rock," Kazunari grumbled as he peered out of the window. "You can punch people with it. It makes no sense that paper can beat rock anyway. How's a flimsy little paper supposed to beat a rock?"

"It's not a matter of whether paper can beat rock, Kazunari-kun," Tetsuya said with an air of one who has had the same conversation a thousand times before. "It is a children's game. It does not need to make sense."

"Well it should," Kazunari argued mulishly, fully aware that he looked and sounded like a petulant child. He yanked at the uncooperative window latch with a curse. "Dammit, open!"

"Kazunari-kun, you are on the fifth floor." Tetsuya monotoned through the headset. Kazunari ignored him. "I do not believe it would be the best course of action to climb out the window without-"

Behind Kazunari, the door squeaked open. Kazunari spun around just as a green-haired, bespectacled middle schooler walked in. "Ah shit!" Kazunari hissed as the other boy froze at the sight of the masked, hooded, darkly dressed figure leaning half out the window, bag slung over his shoulder. "Tet- Cheshire, you didn't mention anyone coming!"

"He is a civilian," Tetsuya said. "I did not deem him dangerous to our heist."

Kazunari grimaced. "Do you have to use the word heist? You make us sound like bad guys! We're supposed to be superheroes here!"

"Technically, we're vigilantes," Tetsuya corrected.

"Whatever," Kazunari said. "So what should I do now?"

"Well, we can't have him raising the alarm," Tetsuya said reasonably. Said civilian looked as if he was about to do just that, raising his hands as if to ward off an attack and opening his mouth to holler.

Kazunari promptly tased him.

"I hope you know," Kazunari said, staring at the twitching lump of unfortunate civilian, "That this is all your fault." Tetsuya, wisely, said nothing.

And that was how Midorima Shintaro ended up kidnapped by a team of superheroes (vigilantes).

(It all went downhill from there.)


Notes: Or down the rabbit hole, you could say.

...

Okay, I'll be honest. I have not read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I only watched like, half of Through the Looking Glass. This whole thing just sort of...happened. So. Yeah. Don't expect too much. This actually has very little to do with Alice in Wonderland. I'm just having fun.
