"I- What happened?" I reach up and pinch my nose closed to staunch the blood flow, "Sorry about your seats uncle Masaru. I don't know what happened."
"Izuku, why didn't you say anything? We could have stopped for you," Auntie chastised as she pulled handkerchief from her purse, turned around in her seat and started trying to wipe away the blood.
"I didn't notice, I was kind of off in my own head there for a bit," I said, letting her wipe it up.
"Well have to get some lemon juice on that when we get home, do you have any spare cloths?"
"Yes ma'am." I reach into my pack, pulling out a plain white shirt with the kanji for 'backup' on the front and changed into it, using the already bloody shirt to wipe my face. "Auntie, did mom ever tell you who it was she was dating?"
"I think she did, Ai something," she pulls her phone out and checks something, "Ah, I was close; she said his name was Hiruyoku Ai. Their first date was at some ice-cream parlor and a movie..." She got out of the car and let me see the name. The kanji for it was weird but everyone's name had taken a turn for the strange when quirks started manifesting, I followed auntie and and uncle up stairs. 'here it comes...'
"Katsuki! Get the extra futon from the closet and set it up in your room! Izuku's going to be staying with us for a little while!"
"DEKU," Kacchan shouted and his door slammed open, "why the hell is the nerd staying with us?! He should be staying with auntie Inko, not here wasting space!"
"Watch the damn language, brat," auntie roar at him, swiping for the back of his head. She misses his head but grabs the front of his shirt and forces him into, her tone turns firm. "Izuku dear, I'm sure you remember where the futon is. I need to have some words with my brat here."
I sweat a little bit and quickly go find the futon, not wanting auntie to turn her displeasure on me. I pull the futon from the hallway closet and set it up in a place out of the way in Kacchan's room, setting my backpack down I slide down the wall, "Hiruyoku Ai... Let's see what the internet has to say about you." I get my phone out and do some cursory searches for that name in our prefecture; a bunch of false ends and elderly or dead people... An inactive MeTube account with the name Hiruyooookun... "Let's try job sites, maybe there is a resume I can find." Kacchan comes in, ignoring me and roughly sits in his desk chair, ignoring me which was odd for Kacchan, "Uh, Kacchan-"
"Just shut the hell up, Izuku and leave me alone."
"Right..." I go quiet as I go back to my phone, managing to find a resume for a couple of men with the name Hiruyoku Ai. One of them didn't really seem like my Mom's type, one of them was looking for work as a social media representative in the Musustafu area. I chew on my thumb, "maybe. Do they have an address?"
"What the hell are you mumbling about? I'm trying to finish this stupid homework."
"Nothing... just doing some research." I don't even have a second before he snatches my phone from my hand, "Hey! Give that back Kacchan."
"Stop fucking calling me that, Deku! …Izuku." He grunts and looks at the information on the screen, "Who the hell is this extra anyways?"
"I think that's the man Mom went on a date with recently."
"The fucker who you think kidnapped auntie Inko?" I gave him a look and he tossed my phone back to me, "What? You might be an annoying shit but auntie Inko is a good person. If she gets hurt because of this I'll find the fucker who did it and I'll blow their ass to kingdom come." I gawk at him for a moment before writing down the man's address along with his so called favorite spots in his 'about me' section.
"I'll leave you alone Kacchan, watch out for questions in 4d; sensei wrote some of them in double negative," I grab a sleep mask and earmuffs from my bag and put them on.
"I fucking knew that nerd, don't look down on me!"
'I need something that can help in a kidnapping situation... not loose yen or lost animals.' I think in my mind, begging my quirk to give me a straight answer in this situation. Luckily it didn't disappoint me as the darkness of the sleep mask was filled with light and colors. I look down on a crowd of police and paramedics outside a derelict warehouse and harbor district, my hair easily discerned from the crowd; this Izuku was much older and wore a Japanese SWAT uniform and red arm wraps, he was directing the cops and other heroes with authority before reaching for his radio and he spoke into it, "Mirage, Twinkling and Hocus Pocus get into position, operation Disco Rave has been approved by the Safety Commission. We're blinding this bastards, Gyro's gang is not getting away this time."
Multiple voices call back, "Yes, Captain!"
"Someone get's Tsukauchi's kid on the line for interrogation, I want to know everything these people know!" Captain Izuku walked to a SWAT van and began retrieving many cylinders with pins marked with different colors, a projectile stun gun and a firearm to be attached to his belt. He hesitates momentarily before grabbing what looks like a t-shirt cannon primed with something and sealed with a paper lid before coating his body in green lightning and jumping from building to building.
Looking around where Captain Izuku had landed, I spot a couple Heroes in stealthy positions; a blonde man in a silver suit of armor with a cape and an odd belt and a tall person in an orange trench coat, mask and top hat. They must have seen him arriving because they give a signal and became all business. Captain Izuku finds a hole in the roof and looks in while the other two find skylights, inside men and women are loading up cages covered up in tarps onto buses and vans. Masked hero gives Captain a series of hand signs and Captain nods. He pulls multiple pins from the cylinders and chucks them down into the warehouse, quickly filling up with choking smoke "SMASH," Captain shouts as he pulls his arm back and punches through the roof while the other Heroes jump down through the windows. There are screams of panic as suddenly a sparkling beam fires into the smoke before ricocheting and splitting into multiple smaller beams. Captain pull the stun-gun and fires it on a moving shape in the smoke trying to get past him.
"MY EYES!" "Oh god it's like walking into the old ladies showers!" "IT BURNS!" "I SURRENDER!" "HEGERGERKERK"
There is a swirling wind as the smoke is cleared, a young woman dressed in punker rock clothes with a massive robot arm; the wind caused from her upper body spinning like a top and coming to a stop, "It's the damn cops! Get the hell up you worthless idiots!" She kicks one of the ones who surrendered away, "Take the trucks with what merchandise they've got and SCATTER!"
"Not this time, Gyro," Captain Izuku shouts, pulling the t-shirt cannon and fires it at Gyro and her surrounding henchmen, there is a flash of white powder that is quickly turns liquid and viscous. Upon contact with Gyro's spinning body and limbs it puffs up and there are several painful snaps and the horrible screech of metal as it's torn from her shoulder along with a scream of pain. Masked Hero quickly flickers across the room, snapping up the villains with a literal snap of his fingers, turning them into marbles.
A set of gloves and shoes briskly marches to Captain and give a salute, "Captain, all of Gyros men have been accounted for as well as the the victims, some of them didn't make it... I'm sorry, Sir..."
Captain sighs, his eyes teary under the gas mask, "lets get these kids home Toru and finally put an end to this nightmare." Captain toggles his radio and speaks into it, "All units, Gyro and her gang are captured, permission to proceed to our location and please advise the paramedics she's most likely got multiple dislocated or broken limbs and may be in shock. Almost all of the children were recovered. Has anyone managed to get ahold Naomi yet?"
"Negative, Captain. One of recruits said she is out trolling again, we'll most likely find out where she was tomorrow when the reports come in from the other precincts."
"Damn it Naomi..." He taps the button again, "Right, patch me through to Miss Hatsume. We need to have a discussion on what the hell she thinks 'nonlethal' and 'inhumane' means."
The Glance of the Captain started to fade to back much like all the others, I pulled the mask off to find out it was night out. I check the time, 11 at night, then I write down everything I deemed important onto the page with the man's address.
-Police Captain Izuku
-Pro Hero?
-Older (future? Divergent?)
-Yet another Izuku with green lightning and super strength. (constant?)
-Look into an inventor by the name Miss Hatsume?
*possible items to rescue Mom.*
-smoke bombs (Where would I even get any? Could I make some? Would Kacchan provide some sweat to make them?)
-taser/ projectile stun-gun? (check)
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm going to find you if it's the last thing I do," I quietly say to the dark, setting the notebook on my backpack before curling under the futon and going to sleep.
Hello all, I forgot to do this for the last chapter but here is another chapter of Bag of Tricks. I really seem to be churning them out while I'm at work, certainly easier than writing for Golden Opportunity; that may be because Bag of Tricks is at its core a quirkless Izuku for all the good of having Voyeur does. If some kid says he's seeing versions of himself being a Pro Hero or a Cop or a Villain, where's the proof? As most adults would say; simply an over active imagination. So Izuku has simply found it to lie when he gets caught Glancing with his quirk. I hope the pacing is alright, I don't know how people feel about the chapter's timing; picking up from last chapterintroducing dialoguepossibly Glancingend the chapter with Glance Notes that he's learned. It might be a little fast paced, that was one of my concerns, if it is don't be afraid to inform me with a review.
A little information about his quirk, Voyuer; it's a transformation type quirk and while active the time in the Glance is 1:1 with real time so it has no combat potential. His only combat potential is from what he's seen and prepared for inside his backpack. The bleeding nose thing will come later but I think it's pretty obvious what it means. Every Izuku is a different Izuku, even the ones that seem like the Voyuer Izuku and some of them might seem familiar; I read a LOT of MHA Fics and if I can pay homage to my favorites then I will.
This has been Cypher Script, please feel free to to leave a review. They feed my soul and makes me happy and I enjoy the ones I get, they are few and far between.
