AN: Hi all this is my first posting of a fanfic in quite a few years, this one is only planned as a one-shot just to kinda shake off the rust. I hope you all enjoy it and please feel free to leave a review, preferably constructive criticism as flames help no one figure out how to improve themselves.
It appeared to be a typical day in Gotham City, people heading to work, some going out to the park or an early movie. The calm day was interrupted by the sound of sirens and gunshots as a white van raced through the streets being followed by three squad cars, the side door of the van hanging open as one of the criminals hung out a sub machine gun held in his hand as he fired at the police following them.
"Die you pigs." He screamed, one of his fellow criminals sighed as he looked at the shooter.
"Really die you pigs, could you be anymore of a generic criminal?" He asked sarcastically while raising a single eyebrow.
"Shut up." He hollered back as he went back to aiming his gun only to freeze as the group heard a large boom, similar to when a jet would fly by, only to see a single shadow fly over them. "Oh shit." He growled as they all turned to see a single figure land on the street ahead of them, the van came to a screeching halt, its breaks squealing only to come to a quick halt as the figure grasped the hood with a single hand, green lightning slightly sparking off the figure.
"Your evil doing as at an end, because I am here!" The green clothed figured stated with a large smile as he looked at them the police quickly catching up and exiting their vehicles to find all the robbers on the ground hands up.
"Thanks Deku, we had been stuck chasing these guys over half of Gotham." The lead Police Officer said as he patted the eighteen year old hero on the back.
"No problem Sir, if you'll excuse me." He stated as he jumped away from the group, soaring through the air mostly using float to help him remain airborne and guide him to the one of the roofs. His feet barely made a sound as they touched down on the rooftop before he easily pulled his mask off, to look over the city that he had been protecting for the past six months.
When Izuku had graduated from UA high he had planned to stay in Japan and start his hero career and maybe a relationship with Ochako but sadly that plan had been destroyed when he had caught Ochako making out with Tsuyu. The green haired hero had been happy for them but the sad truth was that he had thought they were gonna become a couple and had pinned his hopes on that. With the news though Izuku had decided that he would follow his mentors path and start his work in the states specifically the most crime ridden city in the United States. The first three months had been somewhat difficult for the young hero, specifically having to further come to terms with the limitations of his own powers and just what he could do. Moreover he had to come to except that not all heroes held the same rules and virtues as he did, a fact he learned very quickly the first time he had to partner up with the Batman.
Three months earlier:
Izuku was currently crouched on a rooftop near an abandoned steel mill, his green eyes narrowed as he looked at the henchmen that wandered the area, machine guns in hand. He barely noticed the tall figure come to stand beside him, and when he did it took all his willpower not to jump out of his skin.
"Jeez Batman." He whispered as he looked up to the tall man, who barely gave him a nod while he looked down at the group.
"Jokers built up his gang again, what have you seen?" The bat themed hero asked without looking at Izuku, while his eye narrowed as he watched two of the goons reloading their weapons.
"I haven't seen Joker himself but I did see Harley enter." Izuku started while looking back to the group. "Also I noticed that they keep grouping back up, the two over by the alley like to sneak in and smoke, good place to knock them out, the pair that are talking over by the light seem the most fearful and likely to open fire. The rest seem a bit more professional and will be harder to take out without alerting everyone. What about you, did you manage to locate the hostages?" Izuku finished as he continued watching the group trying to find more weaknesses that the pair could exploit.
"No Joker has the mill locked down well and I couldn't locate the group." He explained causing Izuku to sigh, it was clear that Joker had figured out most of Batman's usual methods of entry and had used that knowledge to his advantage. The pairs musing were broken though when the front doors were slammed open, Harley racing out first to slam her massive mallet into one of the henchmen mere seconds before twelve others raced out of the mill.
"Well that's surprising." Izuku muttered as he turned to Batman only to realize the man was already in route to assist Harley and save the fleeing hostages. The green cinnamon roll shaking his head before he launched himself towards the group, flinching slightly as he saw Batman slam into one of the criminals, the way the mans head bounced off the ground as the Bat themed hero began ruthlessly took each thug out. Izuku was aiding the hostage in getting out of the area when he noticed one of the thugs sneaking up behind Harley with a knife raised, it took the green clad hero less then a second to appear between the two, grasping Harley around the waist and spinning her out of the way while he also grabbed the criminals wrist.
"Don't worry you're safe now, for I am here." Izuku stated as he looked down at Harley giving her a small smile, before turning away to gently tap the thug on the forehead, knocking him unconscious before he turned to look for his current ally only for his green eyes to narrow as he noticed the man was gone. His head spun to the side as he heard hysterical laughter coming out of the mill before he took off charging towards the mill, leaving Harley staring after him before slowly pulling a single phone from her back pocket and turning it on to reveal a small dot causing her to smile.
"Oh goody" She said with a laugh as she started skipping away, the phone showing that she was getting further and further away from the dot.
With Izuku he had just made it into the main room when he noticed Joker laying on the ground, his left arm and both his legs bent at odd angles signaling they were broken, but even then Batman was still brutally beating him, Izuku couldn't help but to stare in shock before he quickly shot forward and wrapped his hand around the Bats wrist.
"That's enough, he's done." Izuku stated firmly as he watched the older hero growl before pulling his wrist away and turning to walk away. Izuku would wait for another thirty minutes for commissioner Gordon to arrive, both to make sure that Joker didn't get away, and also to make sure that Batman didn't return to finish the Joker off. But the instant that Joker was removed via stretcher, Izuku made his way back to his apartment and easily removed his costume before falling into bed.
Present:
That had been the first and in all honesty last time he had willingly worked with the defender of Gotham, unfortunately or maybe fortunately that hadn't been the only thing to come out of that night, as he had discovered the following morning when he had caught Harley Quinn in his kitchen making pancakes and telling him all the good reasons why he should date her. Which after four hours of talking about it with her, he had decided they should try a date, which he figured would implode but shockingly they worked, which had lead to where the two now were.
"Hmm quite night." Izuku muttered as he entered into his apartment from one of the side windows only to freeze at the sight of his girlfriend of three months sleeping on his bed, which in and of itself wasn't anything new, no the problem came in the fact of what she was sleeping in, specifically a green thong that had a bunny face on the front, and nothing else. Which caused the still virgin heroes face to go atomic red before he quickly marched into the living room, swearing that Harley was gonna kill him, and heaven forbid if his mother ever met Harley, only to freeze at that thought.
"Nope mom can never meet Harley, she'll lecture me, and then kill me, only to bring me back so she can lecture me again." Izuku mumbled as he quickly laid down on the couch before covering himself with a blanket and fell asleep, unaware of the dual haired girl smirking as she stood up from bed and made her way to the couch to cuddle with her boyfriend, completely forgetting about the voicemail from Inko Midoriya saying she would be arriving in Gotham the next morning.
And that's a wrap, hope everyone enjoyed it, I know I glossed over the whole three month relationship between Izuku and Harley but I wanted to leave that somewhat to your imaginations. Have fun with it, and if it inspires you to write your own scenes more power to you, I can't wait to read them. Again though please feel free to leave a review, preferably constructive critisism as flames will be ignored.
