And another one.
Chapter 14: The Disappearance of a Bandit
Midoriya's POV (8 months later)
It's officially been 7 years since I started vigilantism and today me and Shiro are gonna celebrate me retiring from being a vigilante, by eating at my old home where mom is, that hasn't seen me since my disappearance.
"Are you high right now?" I asked Shiro who was currently smoking a joint. He looked at me before pulling the joint out his mouth and start looking around before looking back at me and said,
"Nope." I rolled my eyes at his antics as he went back to smoking.
"My mom hasn't seen me in 7 fucking years. And you want US TO GO BACK?!" I asked in exasperation. Shiro only rolled his eyes and said,
"Don't you wanna see your mother before you go to UA?"
"Well yes but I thought me seeing her will put her in danger!" I said with worry in my voice. I never forgot that night when he told me that me seeing her will put her like at risk. He sighed before taking a long drag of the joint, nearly disintegrating it fully. He blew out the smoke before walking towards me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Kid, did anyone see your identity when we were patrolling? Killing?" He asked. I shook my head and was about to answer before he spoke again.
"Then that's okay. Even if they did, I erase all evidence that could leak who we are from any social media outlet. Every. Single. Day. So relax, reunite with your mother and act a kid your age for once. Make some friends, get a girl or a boy I don't care, do what normal kids do. Live your life Midoriya. It only took this long because of All for One and trust me, our beef and All Might's beef with him is far from over." I looked down in thought and concern when he said that name.
'He's right. With All for One alive, this battle will never be over. If we go out there and try to fight him ourselves, he's gonna let the high grade Nomus out on us and might even kill us. Hell, he might even get either my quirk, Shiro's or both our quirks which it's gonna be very, very problematic for not only us, but for the entirety of the world too.' I sighed before nodding.
"Let's go home aye?" I looked at him in the eye with a smile. He smiled and nodded back before telling me to dress up in normal civilian clothes.
"Don't forget your costume and especially your machete. You're gonna need that thing, trust me." I nodded before packing my vigilante costume and the machete with its sheath in the duffel bag as well as some other clothes that I bought and owned over the years. Oh yeah, because we've been hunting down some S class syndicates, gangs and/or other corrupt motherfuckers, we've been stealing their money for ourselves. Especially during the Global Massacre. Foreign money but we converted it all into yen and sent into our private bank accounts. 7 years of vigilantism, with Shiro being one much longer than I have, I would say we're currently secret billionaires who donates millions to charity every month. I already own my own car, a penthouse in Esuha and 3 houses. One here in Musutafu, one in Australia and one in America. Of course, I often stay in the house here in Musutafu and the ones in Australia and America are currently empty. For the penthouse, I share that with Red and Miruko who dated in the last 3 years. Side note, over the years, Shiro introduced me to Nedzu who became one of my first friends and maybe best friend when it comes to pranking and teasing Shiro. Their relationship are very special since they act like they're siblings now and Shiro offered him a custom built super laptop that holds 600,000 terabytes of storage space and 60+ terabytes and counting within that 600,000 are full of personal files enough to literally blackmail every single person in Japan and only in Japan, including the government. Shiro and I, in our also custom built super phones since he also built one for me, holds every single information every person who is in Japan, who went out of Japan and who went in Japan. Our phones have the same 600,000 terabyte storage and so far our phones have the 70+ terabytes of storage in our 600,000 space are filled with both memes, funny videos and the people's private information about them. What's great with the phone is that you can use it to scan someone and get every single juicy detail about them, their personal lives and their deep dark secrets. Basically no one can literally hide from us and Red's motto is, "God is watching, but so is the Devil." So yeah, is it considered stalking? Yes. Creepy as fuck? Yes. Is it really important? Very much so.
Anyways, Shiro and I are riding his motorcycle to my mom's apartment. As soon as we got there, we hugged each other and him telling me that if I need him, he'll know anyways. I chuckled before he got back on his bike and I start walking back up to my old home. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door three times. I try to look calm as possible but my heart is beating out of my chest, it's not easy if all you're wearing are khaki shorts and a t-shirt that don't even cover up the tattoo sleeves and some of my scars. As soon as that door opens, I see my mother who has gotten a bit short and a bit chubby, looking up at me at my eyes with hers wide as dinner plates. I just smiled and said,
"Hey mom, I'm home."
