Chapter 4
It was supposed to be an easy mission for Aizawa, a simple raid on a good for nothing thugs that had been robing around the small district in Mustafu, his Intel was pretty straightforward two thoughts and their leader, all with emitter quirks, so in his mind, it was something easy to take down.
After reaching the warehouse they were supposed to be in, Aizawa scanned through the window and spotted his three objectives, took a deep breath then jumped through the window, falling on top of the first thug, then he activated his quirk to shut down the leader's quirk that apparently had some kind of Pyrokinesis quirk, and used his scarf to wrap the other thug and then slam him into a wall knocking him out.
"Two down, one left" he thought suddenly his instincts kicked on and dived to the side avoiding the boss gunshot "I hate when they have guns" he used his scarf to propel himself to the top of the crates that were on the place, then he shot his scarf again at the boss who apparently was kind of athletic because he rolled at the last moment to avoid his capture weapon.
The boss took off and ran to the door now spitting small bursts of fire at Aizawa, who expertly dodged, and continue his barrage of attack, as soon as the boss put a foot outside the warehouse Aizawa finally caught one of his legs with his scarf and activated his quirk stopping the fire coming out of the boss mouth. Then with a mighty pull, the boss face met the pavement with a loud smack.
"You really caught me off guard when you pulled the gun you know, Intel just told me you used knives or your quirks to threaten your victims," Aizawa said walking towards the fallen thug "I'll have an extensive talk with the police officers that gave me the info. They just told me that three good for nothing were making a mess in this district" Aizawa was just coming out of the warehouse when suddenly the leader of the gang turned his head to him while smirking
"They said we were JUST three good for nothing, huh?" Even if his instincts kicked in he couldn't dodge the powerful punch to the face of the apparent fourth thug. He ended up slamming against a garbage container barely avoiding fainting
"Hahaha, your Intel came a day too soon you know, let me introduce you to Brick! The new member of our small group" he turned to the warehouse where his other gang members were still knocked down "You really did a number to my men Hero but thankfully Brick was outside buying us some drinks when you literally fell upon us"
Aizawa was barely conscious but still, he could see that the new man "Brick" had a Mutation quirk, he was made of… brick "I want to say that they don't care about their villain name anymore but right now I'm in no position to talk about that" Without they noticing he pressed the send help button he had hidden in his costume
"Well Brick here is going to take really good care of you and then he'll take the rest of the gang and take them to our other warehouse, right Brick?" The stone man just grunted in confirmation "Great, now I'm going to go to our other warehouse now, don't take too much time man we need to keep the business moving"
"So you'll leave the dirty work to your lackeys huh?" Aizawa asked trying to make time for someone to appear
"That's one of the benefits of being the leader of the gang, I get to keep my hands away from hero's blood" he said darkly and took off running leaving Aizawa with Brick
"I suppose that I can't convince you to surrender right?" Brick smiled wickedly and kicked him to the other side of the alley. Aizawa coughed blood "I suppose that's a no"
"Great this is how is going to end at the hands of a brick man, I would blame the poor information but is my own fault for not putting enough attention" Brick took him by the neck of his costume and he just braced himself for the next hit when someone shouted at them
"HEY" Aizawa sighed in relief apparently some hero or policeman was close enough. When he and Brick turned to the end of the alley just to see a teen no more than fourteen years old looking at them "crap"
"Hey kid, get away from here!" he shouted but the kid didn't move he just looked at the scene with narrowed eyes "He wouldn't" Aizawa's eyes widened when the boy took from a small bag on his back two knives "What is he thinking!?" suddenly when the kid took stance Aizawa knew he was trained with those weapons "Maybe he can throw it and I can use that as a distraction to scape!" He saw the teen throw one of his knives in a high arc and he could tell the trajectory would end behind Brick who was laughing at the display
"Great he missed" It happened in a blink of an eye, and Aizawa saw it in slow motion. The knife was falling just behind Brick when the kid appeared from nowhere taking the knife with one hand and aiming his right leg for a roundhouse kick to the face of the thug. Aizawa's mind was in overdrive "How did he!? He is going to hurt himself Brick is made of… brick" to Aizawa's shock the kid delivered the powerful kick right in the face of the criminal who went flying against the wall of the building "How powerful was that Kick!?"
"Hey are you alright?" the kid asked as if he didn't just kick a thug made of brick against a wall, even if Aizawa was grateful he knew he shouldn't applaud what the kid just did
"You shouldn't have interfered. You could have put me and yourself in danger kid"
"You already looked in danger sir, I just couldn't turn around as if I didn't see anything, don't worry I'll help you to get out of here" The kid was about to help him stand up when Brick lunged at him "Kid watch out!" Aizawa yelled to… nothing the kid wasn't there anymore he felt the ground rumble when Brick fell to the ground after failing to catch the kid.
"You know as my friend says, attacking someone from behind isn't manly" Again they turned to the end of the alley where the kid appeared first and he was reaching for something on the ground… another knife
"His high-speed quirk must work in conjunction whit those knives… he used one to attack and left the other one behind in case he needed to retreat… pretty smart kid"
"Don't get too cocky kid, you'll not leave this place alive!" the criminal ran against the kid like a wrecking ball, who pulled more weapons from his small bag "Are those shurikens?" without hesitation he threw both shurikens straight at the face of Brick "That won't work those will just bounce off him" suddenly both shurikens clashed against each other and bounced against the joints in the arms of Brick who screamed in pain
"Don't worry those aren't big enough to cause too much damage! They just immobilized your arms for a bit, when the police take them from you, you'll be fine!" If Aizawa could facepalm he would but he had one arm over his ribs and the other was probably broken "Did he just apologize to a villain?"
"Don't make fun of me you stupid child!" Brick who previously stopped from the pain took off running again, aiming to use his body as a wrecking ball against the child who just scratched his head and leaped high into the air letting the brute pass under him. "Wait is he standing on the wall?" and yeah he was. This weird kid was standing on the wall like it was the floor! The kid then run to Aizawa and dropped in front of him, defending him
"Your arms are busted man, charging like a bull won't work, you either surrender or get out of here" the kid was trying to negotiate with the enraged man who was preparing himself to charge again
"He won't leave us alone kid, you're fast you should leave me here and safe yourself, you've been lucky all this time, don't risk getting out of luck" Aizawa was being rational here, the kid already make enough time for him the reinforcements must be a minute or two top away from his position he can tank a few hits from the bulking man until help arrives. The kid looked at him with wide worried eyes, then looked at the man that was about to start running at them, then turned to Aizawa again
"I can stop him, but I already interfered in a hero's fight… I want to be a hero you know, but if I do it more without permission I could get in a lot of trouble and lose my chance, don't worry I would still stop him but maybe could you please give me permission to save your life" Aizawa could see it in the eyes of the kid, behind the nervous look he had on his eyes, he would still save him even if it means getting not getting a chance of being a hero. And he knew that Aizawa was the only one that could keep him from that fate
"Are you sure that you can stop him without getting injured?" he saw the kid narrow his eyes
"Positive" was the only answer he gave
"Then stop him, I'll take the fire from your intervention" The kid nodded and started to make weird movements with his hands, in the end of the alley Brick started charging against them again, the kid put his hands on the floor and shouted
"Earth style: Multiple rock walls" out of nowhere walls started to rise from the floor Aizawa could count at least five of them when the last wall appeared just in front of the kid "What the hell the kid just did?!" suddenly he heard
something going through the walls "Those walls are not going to stop him!"
"Kid move!" he shouted, but the kid didn't move he just waited when they heard the fourth crash he just took a step to the side and the fifth wall exploded in debris, Aizawa was worried, the kid failed he needed to run! But before he could say anything the dust cleared and saw Brick on the floor unconscious
"Huh I calculated wrong maybe his brick was denser than the standard construction bricks" he saw the kid picking the unconscious man with a stick
"What are you talking about kid?" He couldn't help but ask
"Well even with his body made of brick he still has a brain inside the head, with the strength and speed he was running I thought four walls would be enough to stop him, I mean the third wall would give him a concussion and the four wall would have knocked him down, of course, I was just trying to guess the density of his brick skin after all standard bricks aren't that tough, but being a quirk I supposed he gained density either with training or something like the bones get callous and sturdier, thankfully I put the fifth wall-"
"Ok you were prepared I get it!" Aizawa isn't impressed easily but this kid apparently decoded the Quirk of a criminal that he saw for maybe three minutes and calculated how to counter it, not mentioning how he saw the weak point in the joints of the man in a matter of seconds. Aizawa turned to the fallen criminal and used his good hand to reach for quirk suppressing handcuffs, only to see that those were as broke as his arm
"Great, kid help must be on its way you should leave" he showed him the broken handcuffs "And as you can see I can't immobilize him so if he wakes up you would be in danger again"
"Ah! Don't worry about it I can immobilize him!" before Aizawa could ask anything the kid started to make those weird hand gestures again "Lava style: Ash stone sealing!" suddenly the kid shot some weird mud looking liquid from his mouth and covered the criminal except for the head and below his elbows "It could be dangerous if I put more pressure on the shurikens. But don't worry! His arms are still immobilized!" The kid said trying to reassure Aizawa.
"Don't worry kid you did good today, I can assure you that I would be dead if you wouldn't interfere so they won't be so harsh with you" they could hear the sirens of the police getting closer "Normally I would let you go and forget about all of this but as you can see" he pointed at the half-destroyed walls and the rock covered criminal "People will ask questions I can't answer and that would be problematic, don't worry I'll vouch for you" Aizawa for all his rationality couldn't help but be grateful to the teen it wasn't a lie that he would be dead if he hadn't interfered
"Thank you so much Eraserhead-san!" that make Aizawa raise an eyebrow
"How do you know who I am," he asked with narrowed eyes, but the kid didn't seem intimidated at all, maybe he looked more busted than he thought
"It's because of your goggles! At first glance, I didn't know who you were but now that I'm close your yellow goggles grabbed my attention and after watching your scarf and costume it was easy to deduct, you're not as famous as other heroes but you have some fans on some forums on the internet, including me! The way you deal with the criminals with your scarf and how useful your quirk is amazing!" he pulled a notebook out of nowhere "I think I have your entry in this notebook!" after a few seconds the kid turned the book around and bowed his head "Could you give me your autograph please!"
Aizawa took the book with his good hand and for the countless time his eyes widened again, what was written on the notebook was amazing and terrifying, the kid deconstructed his quirk at levels that he didn't know were possible, the terrifying part was all the ways the kid wrote to fight against his quirk and counter it and the amazing part was all the ways to overcome the weaknesses and ways to use his quirk that he hadn't thought before
"Eraserhead reinforces are here!" shouted Mic who was followed by a troop of cops "Wait you took care of everything at the end!" Mic shouted looking at the defeated Villain on the floor
"No I didn't Mic, this kid" Aizawa stopped for a second "Kid what is your name?"
"Ah, Midoriya Izuku sir I'm a big fan" The kid… Izuku said while bowing at him again
"Yeah, Midoriya saved me and took care of everything" one cop was about to say something when he cut him "I gave explicit permission to the kid to help me, if he didn't show up you would be picking just one corpse, mine" that seemed to shut the policeman
"Midoriya you'll need to accompany us to the police station to give your statement, I need to go to the doctor first then I'll catch you there" he turned to Mic "Take care of the kid Mic, he saved my life" Mic saluted
"Don't worry Shota nothing will happen to the kid in my guard!" Aizawa facepalmed when he heard Izuku squeal saying "I know Eraserhead's name!"
"Midoriya you'll be fine with Mic, do you mind if I take this notebook until I reach you at the station? I need something to read while doctors check on me"
"Ah Of course but before that" he took the book from Aizawa's hand and present it to Mic "Could you please give me your autograph" Present Mic just laughed and signed the notebook without looking at the content, after returning the notebook, both took off to the police station.
While Aizawa was being prepared to go to the hospital he keeps reading Midoriya's notebook, and he kept getting amazed and terrified. Deciding to worry about it later and close it only to almost faint when he saw the title of the notebook "Midoriya Izuku's hero analysis for the future volume #15"
"This kid is going to be a lot of problems I can feel my sleeping hours disappearing… I don't know If I should report Nezu about this or not" that was the only thought of Shota Aizawa for the rest of the journey to the hospital.
The fourth chapter is done! This one has a little bit of action and some of the results of Izuku's 7-8 years of training! why that big of a time skip? Well in my mind he needed a lot of training to control chakra and all the techniques I'm going to give him, and after all, he's still going to school so that's my reason, I decided to skip the training with the Fukusa the toad because I want to use those scenes in the future.
The chapters will come slowly after this one, I actually have the next 3 written down but those need a lot of work.
Hope you like this chapter it was pretty fun to write to me :)
