Mizuno, Mizuki seat in his dark apartment
As he listened to the couple across the street curse and beat their Foster Kid Shinso Hitoshi,
the kid was from the Nebu orphanage that Mizuki had been to in his youth and had given
his at the time new phone number too. now it's his personal
The Kid had moved into that house
Last week, and almost right away,
The beating had begun after the Kid came
Home from school. The Foster father
Was mean and loud, many times Mizuki
Thought of recording it and making a case
To get the kid out of there.
But He heard the kid Shinso late at night
Whisper to himself
" Almost to U.A. then I'm out of here.
... Mizuno believed I could, the first person to believe I'm not a
villain. to believe in me."
He said that with conviction and he would
Be beaten again that night and it would repeat.
and Mizuki himself knows the Foster system was shit
most people didn't give a damn about a 'villain kid' or whatever
they called the quickest bullshit they sell
so the case would drag on... and make life harder for the kid.
... Mizuki had an idea. it may not be legal at first but it could work. he needed to tell the kid
Over two weeks it happened before finally, something happened
and they could put that in the plan into action,
Mizuki came home from hard a court case.
And heard the Foster father beating shinso
In his 'room'. Locking his Jew tightly the almost 22-year-old lawyer
Stood in his living room listening as
The foster father kicked the kid in the chest hard enough For the kid's ribs to crack. and waited for night,
And the kid gasped in pain before the father
Left the room, slamming and locking the door behind him, leaving the kid to curl up around his
Ribs and start Silently crying in pain before he
Forced his bruised body to get up and grab the backpack that he had not unpacked yet.
Shinso climbed out of his window and landed carefully
On the ground then limped across the street to Mizuno's
apartment. about two weeks ago he had left a note for shinso
under the tiny plant on his window sill
it had said simply
Come to my -address- apartment if you need help
or an Escape. I'll wait. and I have an idea.
M.M.
Mizuki was half worried that the kid would not read
the note or try to live on the streets,
he knew his handwriting was awful and no one else really
cared for the kid,
but then again. he was going to be a hero.
Mizuki opened his door quickly before shinso
could use his bloody and hurt hands to knock
"Okay, I'll grab the first aid kit. kid seat on the couch.
then while you rest we'll talk. after I dress your wounds kid."
Mizuno explained as he closed the door behind shinso
who nodded and limped over to the dark red couch
in the living room, shinso watched his blind fellow orphan
/friend go into the bedroom most likely and come back
out with a large black duffle bag filled with medical supplies
and carefully clean and dressed his wounds.
then handed shinso a water bottle and two pills,
taking them shinso leaned back against the couch
and looked at Mizuno Mizuki if he remembered the young man
from the Nebu orphanage.
was carefully putting the medical supplies back in their places. that done Mizuno sighed
and rubbed at his eyes under his glasses.
"Sorry, for the trouble,"
Hitoshi said quietly pulling his shoulders up to his ears
trying to look smaller, Mizuno took off his glasses
and said, "it's not any trouble Kid, I'm just pissed at them.
the people who should be protecting you. helping you grow
up... not beating you. not pushing you down."
shinso could see how sad it made him
and only nodded quietly as Mizuno grabbed
the two plates of takeout.
time skip three years later,
of Eri riding a bike for the first time
with Aizawa watching her proudly.
Mizuki seat down on his couch heavily and opened one beer
he had his next case opened on the victim report
the list of injuries. the rape test. positive. more than one person
DNA was pulled, and the list went on.
with IDs for most of the DNA,
his hands were trembling as he set them down,
Mizuki knew himself well enough that he had to go out tonight
and follow that lead he got from a pickpocket the other day
Food was in the fridge for Shinso when he came home.
he picked the files up with no reason to mentally scar
the kid with the pictures, the notes, and reports was bad enough, he pulled out his 'Suit' the suit is a red uniform with reinforced plating lined over a durable material that allowed for greater mobility. The cowl of the suit is a separate component, with design cues depicted to resemble the Christian Devil,
and red lenses to protect the wearer's eyes.
Mizuki slipped out leaving a note for Shinso on the kitchen
counter saying, "had an idea on a Case. be back soon."
M.M.
by now Shinso had gotten better at reading
his writing and Mizuki had learned to leave notes
to the kid, he now lived with
most of the time he remembered anyway,
the two had many bumps in the road learning to live
with each other, between that Mizuki was a vigilante that
stopped crime at night and sometimes gets stabbed or shot at.
and a defense lawyer at day,
and Hitoshi walked in on him bleeding out in his room once
and similar Mizuki had walked in on Hitoshi having a
Panic attack as
he tried to hide the bruised ribs that he get from his school bullies. they were past the secrets. will most of the time they were. Mizuki put on his cowl and then disappeared into
the night to hunt for more information and to stop crime.
two hours later Hitoshi slipped into the apartment
he was finally finished with middle school,
he had managed to avoid Kiyosho Jin and his band of
Shinso's A 'Villain' let's beat him up every time we see his band of followers today,
Mizuki had helped him learn a few tricks to escape from
groups of bullies. he learned to get more silent in his movements, how to become a shadow how to follow
people without them seeing you.
Mizuki Taught him how to get out of almost any knot
how to pick anything without looking,
but most importantly he cared for him, like an older brother
and Hitoshi was a little brother to Mizuki.
Hitoshi knew that Mizuki become a Vigilante
after Mizuki's father, Ryuu was murdered,
and his sensei left Mizuki for not being
what his 'sensei' wanted... what Mizuki's sensei
wanted he didn't know.
but Hitoshi could guess Mizuki disagreed with his sensei on it,
Hiroshi wasn't sure but he thought that it had something to do with killing or the like, with Mizuki being Catholic and all.
it made sense, with how well Mizuki could fight.
and most of the moves someone could use kill,
so he taught Hitoshi a lot of it after he asks him
that took a week for Hitoshi to get enough courage to ask though. the lawyer/Vigilante
give the teen a tight hug when he asks finally
happily saying yes to teaching Hiroshi how to fight.
the three years he had been living with the lawyer had
been good to the too-skinny teenager. when he started
to live with Mizuki, Hiroshi was 4'10 in height and weight
100 pounds. he was dangerously skinny. that was three years ago, the doctor Mizuki take him to said.
Hitoshi stands at 177cm (5'10") now and is a great weight now
too. when they get home Mizuki said the same. but
His exact words were, "your bones aren't done growing yet your bones they're still too soft. and they still click and are still
changing I can hear it, "
then Mizuki freaked out and tried to explain that better,
Hiroshi had laughed for the first time since... who knows how long as the older man fumbled to try
and fix his wording, he laughed loudly for him at least.
not the usual huff of laughter either
real happy laughter, laughter like normal teenagers should have
it startled both of them.
then Mizuki beamed and ruffled Hitoshi's hair happily
and he only up the ante from there trying
to get Hitoshi to laugh more often.
Hiroshi was left sighing or huffing at his blind and orphan jokes,
they were so bad. the bitterness and spite that drive Hitoshi
were joined by a protective part for the people
who were looked down on like Mizuki and himself?
Hiroshi never know that Mizuki had gone to
his Foster agent and sighed the papers for him to
legally house Hiroshi, Mizuki adopted him.
when Mizuki sat him down and ask him if he wanted to stay
There with him permanently, Hitoshi had started crying and about hugged the stuffing out of Mizuki saying yes repeatedly
that was on January 28 till Hiroshi turned 13 on July 1st.
two months from Hiroshi turning 14 Mizuki
fought Stain or formerly Stendhal for the first time.
stopping the other vigilante from killing someone
Mizuki lived and gained the respect of the hero killer,
but he almost died from his injuries would have too
if he hadn't fallen into a dumpster and was found by
a young woman and her grandmother named
Murayama Shigeko and Chiyo Shuzenji,
