The Crimes of Gentlemen
[CG]
Having been told off from being a Hero by both doctors, family, and estranged friends, Izuku Midoriya had been, for lack of a better term, lost in what to aspire to one day become for quite some time until he saw the online exploits of a Villain referred to as Gentle Criminal who recorded his own crimes to garner a reputation among the most notorious Villains in the world. Finding a kindred spirit in Gentle, Izuku soon started to provide helpful feedback to him through anonymous comments at first before Gentle decided to give him access to a private chatroom where they could exchange ideas in private. Since then, Gentle's crimes had been more successful and well-noted, which allowed his partner in crime, La Brava, a share of the spotlight and gave Izuku an indirect feeling of accomplishment.
One day, during Izuku's middle school years, he was on his way home before he unexpectedly ran into two people, a short woman older than she looked and a taller man he both recognized almost right away.
"Excuse me." Izuku said to the duo as he came close to them. Once he got their attention, he then whispered. "Are you two Gentle Criminal and La Brava?" Taking note of their shocked expressions, Izuku quickly added. "It's all right. It's me, Deku Green."
Recognizing Izuku's online username and then confirming it with smiles after asking him questions only their true consultant would know, La Brava said. "It's good to finally meet you, Midoriya."
"Indeed, it is." Gentle added with a grateful nod.

Thought of this as soon as I got my first My Hero Academia one-shot done.
