Izuku found himself lost in nowhere after running away from the underground laboratory, he was conscious and his awareness of his surrounding raised at the sight of an unknown place.

Izuku gripped on his knife strongly, after detecting no signs of danger Izuku proceeded moving forward, he found himself in a dark alleyway.

A muffled sound caught Izuku's attention, it sounded like a man and a young girl (?)

Izuku got closer out of curiosity. He didn't really cared even if it was dangerous.

He heard voices as he stepped further in.

"Come on stay still you stupid brat."

"Mmf- He-hel- mmmff-!"

Izuku peeked from the wall, there stood a girl with brown hair, she looked like she was 9 years old, the man was attempting to tie her up with a rope, she kept struggling.

Kidnapping.

Someone was being kidnapped.

Izuku thought if she was kidnapped she might have to be trapped into an endless loop of pain like how Izuku did, he didn't like the idea of an innocent kid being tortured like how Izuku did. Izuku clenched on his knife harder, he dashed towards the man and slashed the man's back in a swift motion.

The girl's eye widened in shock, the man was obviously annoyed, he glared at Izuku intensely before throwing a punch at Izuku in which Izuku dodged by ducking under it he stabbed the man's stomach and pulled out the knife before slashing the man's eyes. More blood stained his white lab gown.

The brown-haired girl watched in terror, Izuku looked over to girl emotionlessly, she only seems took gasp more as tears streamed down her cheeks unstoppingly as Izuku slowly approached her and raised his knife she squinted her eyes.

This is the end.

The girl thought and waited for her death, instead of meeting with death, she felt the ropes around her loosening, she was left in shock as she slowly opened her eye, there stood a boy with curly hair, looking down on her, he seemed to be around her age too. The was a moment of silent as Izuku slowly observed the girl, searching for any signs of threat while putting his knife close to the girl's throat.

The girl held her breathe as Izuku found no signs of threat on her, he pulled his knife away from her. The brown haired girl stuttered slowly in Izuku's surprise.

"Umm.. W-who.. Uhh are you?..."

Izuku could see her attempting to smile and be friendly with Izuku, seeing how the girl is in fear Izuku offered her a hand, the girl was hesitant to grab it but took it at last.

Who is this kid with a eyepatch..? He also wore a lab gown stained with blood? It is weird.

The girl thought as she got up slowly with the support of Izuku.

But since he saved me, he is probably a good person!

"My-my name is Uraraka Ochaco! Nice to meet you."

Ochaco spoke and beamed hesitantly at Izuku, Izuku was shocked that Ochaco was willing to talk to him, he didn't say much, Izuku mumbled.

"Izuku..."

Ochaco looked confused for a moment but realized that the boy was saying his name, shr beamed at delight over the fact the boy was friendly and willing to get to know her.

"Izuku-kun! What are you doing out so late, where are your parents?"

Ochaco asked worriedly.

Izuku was confused, shouldn't the girl be worried about herself more than a broken bloody murderer? Izuku spoke softly.

"Uraraka-San please don't worry about me, let's find your parents first.."

Ochaco was surprised at how monotone the boy sounded. She opened her mouth to protest but the boy's emerald eyes glared at girl and it was enough to send her the message that she couldn't protest. She silently nodded. Izuku spoke again.

"Uraraka-San do you know where we are?"

Ochaco nodded her head before responding.

"Yes, I will know the way once we get out of the alley.. But I don't know how."

Izuku nodded in confirmation. Izuku looked up..

Pipes, they can be used for climbing, the buildings aren't so tall either, I think I can carry Uraraka-san up there..

Without a word Izuku picked Ochaco up with his left arm and climbed up the walls, using the pipes as support.

"Ehh? Izuku-kun what are you doing!"

Ochaco was moving and sending worried glances at Izuku.

"Shut up and stop moving..."

Izuku muttered under his breath, annoyed at the girl's unnecessary movement. Ochaco stopped moving, Izuku eased his way to the roof of a building. Placing Ochaco down, she was looking at him with shocked eyes.

"Do you know where we are now?"

Izuku asked plainly, as if he didn't not just climbed up a wall with someone in his arm.

Uraraka snapped out of her shock and was immediately fascinated by the boys's skills display.

"Izuku-kun! That was sooooo cool! It was amazing you were like a uhh ninja! And it was so-"

"Uraraka-san please answer my question."

Izuku cut her off, not a bit fazed by her praise.

Ochaco sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck as she apologized.

"I am sorry.. I got carried away. Hehe.."

Ochaco pointed at an residential building.

"That is where I live!"

She exclaimed in relief, Izuku said nothing he jumped off the roof to the streets, landed safely and looked back at Ochaco, signaling her to do it too. Ochaco was scared she didn't dare she looked around helplessly like a lost kitten. Izuku sighed in exhaustion.

"I will catch you."

He stated simply, loud enough for Ochaco to hear, with that Ochaco took careful hesitant steps towards the edge and jumped, her eyes shut closely. Izuku caught her as promised.

And carefully put her down.

"Let's go. Lead."

Ochaco nodded slowly, recovering from shock from the fall.

The walk to Ochaco's home was in comfortable silent.

"OCHACO!!!!!"

A woman who looks like Ochaco and assumingly the woman's husband shrieked in unison as they jumped to hug Ochaco.

Izuku had assumed them to be Ochaco's parents, he watched from behind as the family took their time hugging and crying together. Izuku turned around and was about to leave before he heard Ochaco calling his name again.

"Izuku-kun? Where are you going?"

She asked curiously. The whole family's attention was now on him.

Izuku only turned back and shrugged. Ochaco grabbed his hand and pulled Izuku in their house. Ochaco's parents watched in fear as they observed the boy, Ochaco gasped. The boy was covered in countless of scars, some even fresh, blood stained his white dirty lab gown. Freckles brushed his face and he wore a eyepatch, covering his left eye. Ochaco was only able to get a clear look at the boy's features under lights.

Izuku gripped tightly on his knife, sensing for any signs of threat Ochaco's parents might show.

"Th-this is Izuku-kun. He uhh saver me from a kidnapper."

Izuku stayed silent he stood in the doorway.

Ochaco's parents grew worried again as they heard the news that Ochaco was kidnapped asking her about the details. Ochaco smiled at them and said it is fine because Izuku had saved her.

Ochaco's parents seemed quite hesitant to welcome Izuku in their house.

"You don't have to let me in if you are so disgusted by me."

Izuku stated coldly under the stares the Uraraka Family was giving him. He got a feeling they were all silently judging how ugly his scars looked and how broken his fragile form looked.

To Izuku's surprised Ochaco's mother embraced Izuku warmly while thanking him for saving their dear daughter.

They cried and smiled.

Izuku didn't cry, he didn't smile, but he was happy, he felt warm and welcomed.

After they welcomed Izuku in Ochaco's parents introduced themselves.

(A/N I don't think the names of Uraraka Ochaco's parents are revealed yet, so I will just make up a random name, it will be changed when their names are revealed one day. I will not introduce their quirks as Horikoshi Kouhei had not announced it yet, thank you.)

"I am Uraraka Nagisa my husband is Uraraka Yagami."

Nagisa introduced herself and her husband to Izuku.

"Izuku..."

Izuku muttered softly, barely audible.

"Izuku-kun do you have a last name?"

Izuku shook his head in reply. Nagisa was okay with it and took Izuku In their apartment.

"It is already midnight, kids you haven't had your dinner yet right? How about we eat something."

Ochaco nodded eagerly as she cheered for dinner.

Izuku only stayed silent, he was not fond of eating, not like he was never really allowed to have a proper meal.

Ochaco led Izuku to a carpet, they sat down on it and Izuku placed his knife next to him, Ochaco started chatting with him.

"Izuku-kun do you like heroes? Oh also you can call me Ochaco!"

Ochaco asked in a friendly demeanor.

The heroes never came to my rescue..

They never did

Never even if I screamed countless of times

Heroes? What are heroes? Aren't they just pure fame diggers?

"No. And sure Ochaco."

Izuku's answer shocked Ochaco, most kids she knew loved and adored heroes, they would play heroes and villains all the time. And the fact Izuku was so blunt made it even more believable.

"Why.. Don't you like heroes?"

Ochaco asked, feeling a bit heart broken from the answer she received.

"... Hero is just a title."

Izuku answered. Ochaco didn't understand?, title? Just a title? What was izuku talking about! Heroes are cool!

"But don't you think it is cool they save people from danger risking their lives?"

Ochaco asked.

Izuku replied with silence, he thought that the heroes would have saved him ages ago if they were really trying hard.

Ochaco's expression only saddened, Izuku didn't feel bad for the girl, he was only stating an opinion he held against the heroes.

Ochaco said timidly as she looked down the carpet, afraid that Izuku will be offended for it.

"I.. Want to be a hero.."

Izuku stayed unfazed, and silent.

Ochaco slowly looked up, realizing Izuku wasn't angry and he probably didn't even cared that much. Ochaco started another topic.

"Izuku-kun... Why did you not reply when I asked about your parents."

Silence...

"Izuku-kun ?"

Izuku stayed silent for a few seconds before mumbling out a few words just loud enough to be heard by Ochaco.

"It.. Is none of your business."

Ochaco was shocked. Stunned by the attitude Izuku was giving her.

"Oh.. I am sorry."

Ochaco managed to say, sounding defeated and obviously upset.

"Dinner is ready kids~"

Nagisa said interrupting the upsetting mood.

"Yayy~ let's go Izuku-kun!"

Ochaco immediately lit up and beamed towards Izuku. She ran towards the diner table.

Nagisa placed two plates of omelette curry rice on the dinner table, telling them to wash their hands before eating. Ochaco nodded energetically and took off to the washroom.

Izuku grabbed his knife and slowly followed Ochaco in the washroom as they washed their hands, they made their way to the diner table. Ochaco immediately dug in the food while exclaiming compliments such as delicious and yummy.

Izuku inspected the food carefully, remembering the time Hisashi had poisoned his food. Before taking a small bite of the omelette curry rice hesitantly, Ochaco finished the food quickly while Izuku took his time and only took a few bites, Ochaco had already finished her plate of food.

Izuku couldn't taste anything- It was because of the poison Hisashi put in his food two months ago heavily damaging his taste buds. It was supposed to wear off after 3 months.

Nagisa seeing how hesitant Izuku seems to be while eating couldn't help but ask.

"Izuku-kun do you not like the food?"

Izuku shook his head, before replying.

"I just have some.. Issues with my taste buds, I am not suppose to be able to taste anything for three months."

The Ochaco family looked at him with sympathy. Before Nagisa smiled and said that it is fine and they must be tired after the long night, and tucked them in bed.

Midnight 3 am

Izuku left a note next to Ochaco, he slowly opened the window, took a last glance at Ochaco's peaceful sleeping form, before jumping out of the window and jumping from roof to roof.

Ochaco was sound asleep and did not realized Izuku's absence, Izuku had faded his existence away from the Uraraka family, knowing that nothing good will be brought upon them if they were to keep a murderer in their home.

Izuku settled down in a dump, he found trash that he could use, a small bag, notebooks pens and darts. Izuku tied a rope with the bag and pulled it over his shoulder, he then put the pens and a blank notebook and the darts he found in the dump in his bag and climbed another wall making his way to a roof and started pondering aimlessly again.

It was not long until he encountered another crime again, it was a sexual assault attempt, three drunk man attempted to rape a high schooler.

What was a high schooler doing out so late anyway?

The drunk men seems wealthy.. At least wealthy enough to drink so much until they were drunk. I could rob them and get their money.

Izuku thought as he charged towards the drunk men, killed the fat one and dodged the other drunk man's fuzzy punches and kicks as he slashed one of his limps, causing it to disconnect with the man's body. Both of the drunk men fainted to blood loss.

Hot waters splashed on Izuku's back, burning it hot, Izuku didn't flinch at the pain, he turned around and met the last drunk man's eyes, he was a thin tall man with brown hair. His hands aiming towards Izuku, the high schooler gasped. Izuku assumed it was the man's quirk. He dodged the next water attack send by the man and slashed the man right in the heart, took out the knife again and chopped the man's head off.

Izuku went to the other two fainted drunk man and stabbed their hearts a few more times until he heard their breathing stopped, Izuku searched their bodies for their wallets and grabbed the bigger wallet and put all the other cash the other men had in that wallet, tossing away the useless cards.

The high schooler watched Izuku. Izuku turned to look at her. The high schooler shrieked.

"P-please have mercy!"

The high schooler had long brown hair tied in a pony tail, she was in her uniform still.

"What were you doing out so late?"

Izuku asked. Out of curiosity.

The girl seemed shocked that Izuku didn't kill her.

"M-me and my friend were d-doing a project we both umm.. fell asleep, I-I was walking home."

The girl replied shakingly.

"Oh."

"Where is your home."

Izuku asked bluntly in monotone.

The girl pointed towards an apartment building across the street.

"Okay, be careful miss. And don't ever tell anyone about this unless you want to end up like them."

Izuku said beforing climbing on the walls and disappearing again.

Izuku didn't know why he cared for a girl he never even met, he shrugged off his thoughts.

The girl got herself together and walked back to her home. The scene that occurred to her just now was still unbelievably realistic to her.

Izuku continued jumping from roof to roof, he was thinking of what to do next before recalling something he had read before.

Vigilantes, they fight villains and travel around in their own will, vigilantes are almost basically a licenseless hero, however usage of quirks without a license is still illegal, therefore they are still considered as "criminals"

I could be a vigilante, traveling freely according to my own will sounds fun, it must be the definition of complete freedom.

Izuku thought as he took off, excited to welcome himself to a new life of freedom.

And unaware of the trouble his new lifestyle would bring him.
