As the sunrise broke over the city the first trains were already running citizens to their destination. On a particular train one such citizen could barely contain himself.

Midoriya was virtually bouncing in his seat as he read through his notebooks and his intern file. Now that he could use One for All at 10 percent he was eager to test it in the field. As his read through mission examples from Backdraft's file he was jotting down ideas as to how he could use his quirk in new ways. To help instead of just punching villains into submission.

"There's the obvious of carrying people to safety," which he had written down and underlined. That would be his favourite part he thought. He reminisced about the All Might video from his childhood and smiled at the thought of looking like his idol. Chewing on the end of his pencil he though back to the slime villain. All Might had extinguished the fires in the area with a single punch and changed the weatehr at the same time. Midoriya doubted he could use enough of One for All safely enough to do that.

"I wonder if...". He held out his leg and flexed his foot, "If I used full cowl but then shooter style, I wonder if I could create enough of a shock wave to put out a fire but not damage the rest of the area."

He reached into his bag and withdrew his weight set and worked out while staring out the window, contemplative.

"A lot of our time is spent training, checking and rechecking our equipment," said Backdraft as he gestured to the firefighters coat room. It had several stations, each with an identical set of gear, "So the first thing we will do this morning is go over the personal gear then we will move to the trucks. After that we've arranged a training exercise in the building outback so you can try out some of the stuff out for real."

Backdraft looked down at his new intern. The kid was scribbling in a notebook furiously and he was muttering under his breath. Backdraft waited for him to finish, but the kid just kept rambling on and on.

"Ahem," he coughed overly dramatically and Deku flushed and quickly closed his notebook. The pro hero showed the boy the steps for checking the personal gear and then left him to his task.

After half an hour Backdraft returned and looked over Midoriya's report.

"Wow kid, your found all the problems I left for you...well done."

Another firefighter came on shift and after hanging up her personal effects she began going through her gear.

Midoriya went to approach them, "Oh miss I already check-"

Backdraft raised a hand to stop him. "In an emergency situation a gear failure could be catastrophic. As such there are several redundant checks we must preform. This way we eliminate the chance of missing something. You understand?"

Midoriya nodded, "Yes Sir! And can I say I am so happy to be working here Sir!"

Backdraft started. He wasn't the most popular hero so he was unsure how to handle such gushing from a kid.

"Oh, uh, yes well..." An alarm sounded and the pro hero immediately sprung into action, "Looks like you're getting a taste of a fire on your first day kid. Do exactly as I say otherwise I will ship you off back to U.A with no questions asked."

Midoriya nodded seriously and followed Backdraft to the trucks.

A new build in the banking district had caught on fire. Backdraft immediately set up a perimeter and began directing the other firefighters. Midoriya stood off to the side waiting for his orders. He was having to forcibly biting his tongue to stop himself from asking what he should be doing.

At first it looked like the fire would quickly be under control and they had stopped it from spreading to the twin building next to it.

Backdraft turned to the intern."I'm sorry you weren't be able to help out this time Midoriya, but with no training I couldn't risk you being in the way."

"I understand sir," he said trying to hide his disappointment.

"Chief! There another fire in the twin building!"

"What?!" Backdraft turned confused, then he glowered, "We had this under control...this...was arson...and the villain is still here!" He pointed to his deputy, "Get some other heroes over here. We can't fight this and stop a villain at the same time."

"I tried sir! But there's an incident a block west of here and we have to wait for heroes from another district!"

"Damn it!" Backdraft began to use his quirk to finish off the first fire. His team didn't need to be fighting on two fronts.

"Backdraft sir!" Midoriya called.

"Not now Midoriya."

"Sir! I have completed several internships in capturing villains. I know I just have my interim license but we have no one else. Let me stop them."

Backdraft paused, for once unsure of what to do. He clenchd his teeth as another fire began to burn in the secondary building.

"Go," he reluctantly conceded," but don't you put yourself in danger. If you have to let him run then do it understand?"

"Yes sir!" Activating One for All at full cowl he jumped towards the building.

"Do not make me regret this!" he called after Midoriya.

"You said twelve o'clock you piece of garbage so I started at twelve o'clock!" A lanky young man with dark hair was on his phone in the basement of the second building with a gas can."

"No Makan I said be back here by twelve you idiot! Now all the heroes are over here instead of dealing with you! Just get your ass over here and help us!"

Makan hug up the phone and crushed it in his grip, "God dammit!" Walking over to the wall he began to douse the wall and a pile of wood with the entire can. He snickered as he lit the match.

"Stop!"

The young man jumped and turned to see a kid a few years younger than him wearing a hero costume. Makan dropped the match and it extinguished itself on the cold concrete.

The two stared each other down daring the other to try something. Makan moved first, diving behind one of the support columns.

"Bitch can't catch me..." he laughed to himself as his long legs propelled him to the exit. Suddenly the kid appeared in front of him,"Shit! I didn't even see him move!"

Makan's gut clenched in pain as the was sent flying back toward the pile of wood, smashing into the building materials.

"Stay down and we can get this over with peacefully!" yelled Deku. There was a fire in his eyes, but he was praying the villain would give up easily. He still didn't know what his quirk was. He had assumed it was a pyro skill but upon seeing him light that match he knew that wasn't it. He had to be extra careful until he could determine his power.

The villain didn't leave him much time to think as he lept out of the wreckage screaming, fist raised for an attack. Deku deftly dodged left.

"Obviously no speed quirk either," Midoriya thought.

Seeing he was outmatched, Makan began to panic. He had to escape, but the kid was too fast. He had to slow him down. Grinning Makan turned and bolted for closet exit. As expected Midoriya got there first.

Makan laughed maniacally,"Got you now!"

Makan raised his fist and smashed it into the nearest support column, blowing it to pieces. The shock wave instantly collapsed several parts of the ceiling between him and Midoriya. Makan turned a one eighty and began headed for the opposite exit. Punching support columns as he ran by, obliterating them into dust.

"He's got super strong punches!" Midoriya tried to see through the chaos but he didn't pursue. If he got trapped under the rubble he'd be dead or sent back to UA so he held his ground and watched.

Makan stopped at the exit once he realised he wasn't being pursued. He laughed in victory seeing that Midoriya had given up the chase.

"Ha! You might wanna rethink your hero career asshole!" He laughed but the hero's face was twisting in panic.

"Run!" Midoriya screamed to the villain his voice stained in terror.

Makan stepped back confused until a pebble of concrete fell on his shoulder. His random punches had demolished most of the support columns and now the entire floor above was weakened. Makan looked up just at the ceiling gave way, burying him beneath it.

Backdraft heard the floor collapse as they finished putting out the fire on the upper floors. He panicked thinking of his intern,"Midoriya!"

Backdraft knew he'd be in trouble for this and he got his team together.

"I have no idea what we're getting into so I want you all to stay out here and start damage assessment. We can't risk any casualties so I'll go in alone."

"Chief! Look!"

Backdraft looked to where his man was pointing. Out of the dust came the figure of Midoriya. His face was sad, broken and he carried the body of a young man in his arms. He could tell just by looking that the man was dead.

"Oh shit," Backdraft only ever swore in extreme cases, and his intern potentially killing a villain was pretty extreme, "Get me the crisis therapist now," he whispered to his Deputy.

He approached Midoriya slowly until he stood in front of the young hero who was hanging his head, silent tears falling from his face. Backdraft did his best to calm his anger. If this kid had killed someone there would be major fines and possible suspension of his own hero license.

"What happened Midoriya," he said slowly.

Midoriya sat in the fire truck with a blanket wrapped around him. The crisis therapist was speaking softly to him while rubbing his back. Backdraft talked with the police as they loaded the body into the ambulance. After it had taken off he headed to his intern but crisis theorist stopped him.

"He feels it's his fault. I think he'll be okay but it's going to take some time. Be gentle with him Backdraft..."

He sighed. This was not part of his job description.

"Deku." He said sharply. Immediately Midoriya jumped out of the truck. The kids eyes were red and he wore a grim expression.

"I just finished talking to the police and engineers. Based on what they said and if everything you told me was true," he put his hand on Midoriya's shoulder, "It wasn't your fault kid."

Midoriya bowed, "Thank you for being so nice sir. But I should have done better. I shouldn't have suggested I go in...I."

Backdraft cut him off "That's enough. What happened was tragic kid and there are a whole lotta what ifs floating around. But the fact is every pro hero has to face the scenarios you dealt with, and I can tell you that you did exactly what you were supposed to."

Midoriya looked up surprised.

"You assessed the situation, you were cautious because didn't know his quirk. You attempted apprehension and when it got dangerous you backed off just like I told you. You even tried to help the damn fool afterwards." Backdraft paused the kid was staring so intently it was throwing him off. "That villain was an idiot and it got him killed. The fact that you were smart meant that I wasn't pulling two bodies out of there today."

Midoriya tried not to cry but the tears still fell, "Then why do I feel it's my fault sir."

"Cause you care kid." Backdraft put his hands on his hips, "Your average heroes shrug it off as not their problem. Your good heroes care but it eats them up inside. That's you. Great heroes care but there they are the next day out doing it again with just as much fervor as the day before. Now you gunna just stay good? Or are you going to be great?"

Midoriya's eyes sparkled. Backdraft was so much cooler in person, "I want to be great Sir."

"I have a feeling you will be Midoriya," he shifted uncomfortably, "but I still have to ship you back to UA I'm afraid."

Midoriya's face crumbled at his words causing Backdraft to sigh. He actually felt bad for the kid.

"Someone died Midoriya. I know it wasn't your fault, but there still has to be an official inquiry. Therefore you will be suspended from any intern positions until it is concluded. And hey..." Backdraft put his hand on Midoriya's head. It was mildly stiff, the hero unused to giving pep talks to kids, "When all this hullabaloo is over, you're welcome to come back. If you want that is." Backdraft took Midoriya's hand and shook it, "It was short, but it's been a pleasure Deku."

"Police are currently working on an investigation of two incidents today. The first was an attempted robbery at Great Maoko Bank, the other an arson at a nearby build site. While all suspects were apprehended at the robbery there was one fatality at the fire. Police are giving few details but the victim has been identified as twenty five year old Makan Chirosaki. He had police record and had ties to small time gangs and is currently the main suspect as the arson. There was also an UA intern present, Izuku Midoriya. Police refused to comment on his involvement in the arson or death, but Midoriya had been placed on suspension and has been returned to UA. It is unknown at this time if the robbery and arson are connected."

Her face my pressed so hard against the glass it was becoming wet with her tears.

Makan?

His face flashed across the screen again with a highlight of his past offences.

Not her Makan? Not her onisan!

Another face popped up on the screen. A timid looking boy. A timid looking boy with a mop of black hair and a face dotted with freckles.

Not a hero...

A murderer.
