Chapter 38:

"Alright," Zach clapped his hands together. "If you're really alright then," he said, after Webb just told him again that it was nothing. He had actually pulled away from Marx's last attack in the moment after he realized he had missed throwing Diamondback into all the projectiles. Webb frowned as the boy mentioned it again, but then Zach said, "I'm going to head out."

Webb stayed quiet for a few seconds, then he said, "Back to school already?"

"Nope," Zach replied. "Have to get to my alibi. Won't be able to make anything believable if I don't actually go and do a bunch. I have a room booked in Kyoto under a fake name. Going to try and take the first train out there, then vacation my butt off."

"Vacation?" Webb asked.

"I'm sure you've never heard of it, but it's when you take some time off and relax and have fun," Zach said. Webb kept frowning at him, and Zach eased off of the jokes as he started putting away any of his things he had out into his backpack. "I was glad when you said Nagoya, since I made the plan of where to go in Kyoto and what stuff I was going to do there before I headed out Thursday night." It was early Saturday morning, still before the sun came up, but the trains would start running in just a little bit and Zach wanted to be on the first one. Nagoya was not far from Kyoto, so he had time to get there and rest at his booked room before going out to enjoy the day.

"School's been stressing me out. Surrounded by people who just want to ask me questions all day, things I'm not going to tell them, most of the time." They even sent me to a therapist… which I was supposed to go to today. Sorry for breaking our appointment Softy. Zach thought, and he actually felt a little bad since he liked her and the little session they had last time. "So I just needed to get away for a couple of days. Or else I would have really thought I was just trading being a prisoner at one place to one at another."

"Hmm," Webb hummed and nodded his head from where he sat on his twin bed, not moving so that his wound would heal quickly. "Convincing," Webb said.

That's because it's not untrue, Zach thought. He smiled some more and added to himself, And there's been no mention of me "disappearing" from U.A., so it looks like they believe I actually wrote the note. Today, I really can just go on a short vacation. I'll have to use Aunt Maye's ATM card though at least once. I don't have enough on me to pay everything in cash including a three night stay at a motel in Kyoto. But that makes it better, since if they can check they'll see I really did take out money on Saturday morning after spending everything I had on me the first days. Shouldn't take much to get the guy at the motel to agree that I was in the room the two nights before too, a couple extra yen thrown in. "Alright, I'm going to go. But are you sure you don't want me to stay? I could get you food so you don't have to move-"

"Ask again," Webb said. Zach flinched at the tone and held his hands up defensively. He turned from the guy who looked annoyed as Zach was acting like he was way more injured than he was. Zach turned to the door with one strap of his backpack slung over his shoulder. He slid his shoes on and was about to leave, then Webb said, "Your assistance helped out." Zach turned his head to the side while Webb continued while facing straight forward instead of the door. "Even when you felt I had things under control. The villains, their techniques, how quickly I was able to reach the basement so the villains did not have more time to prepare."

Zach wondered if he was trying to say 'thank you,' in a roundabout way, but he resisted saying 'You're welcome' in a smug tone. Instead, he just smiled and said, "Glad I could help. Feel free to ask for it again."

Zach reached for the door and opened it. He stepped forward while Webb was silent, then he heard before he closed it behind him, "I will." Zach closed the door and he smiled more as he turned and started walking. Diamondfist. He's done. Did the cops really get him though? I haven't seen anything, but it was really late/early. Maybe the cops are figuring out how to spin this. Maybe a villain got up by the time they got there. They probably brought a pro hero with them too. Hopefully Webb took most of them out for the count though, but if a villain was up and attacking the cops, then they could probably say they busted into the place and got everything.

The sixteen year old headed out of the motel, not even glancing at the manager behind the counter as he walked outside. He had his black face mask on, a red beanie, and warm clothes all around him. He walked out into the brisk morning air of Ugina City around Nagoya, and he took in a deep breath of that air. The League of Villains, aren't unstoppable. He grinned and started down the sidewalk, while the sun had just started to rise and dyed the sky a pinkish orange color. He crossed the street that was not busy this early, heading towards the trains that were just about to start running. I took down Shooter and Hydro, thinking about them, made two different faces appear in his mind that had Zach's smile wiping from his face. He shook his head fast and violently to get their heads out of his mind, along with their screaming voices.

Diamondfist too! Webb was right. Could he have taken them down without me? Maybe, he was pretty badass. But he thought he needed my help before it, and he said it was useful afterwards. He's not the kind of guy who would say that if it weren't true. Zach's lips curled up again. Morph, The German, Marx, Sheik, some others too. Zach lifted up his phone, and he searched the web again for the hundredth time since the attack. This time though, he saw something posted just recently that made his face light up. He tapped the link, started reading, and he grinned so much before lowering it again. He was nearing the train station, and Zach glanced around to see if anyone was nearby. Then he lifted the phone and slammed down while bringing up his knee.

Zach smashed his phone and then tossed it into a garbage can he was about to walk past. Called the cops on that. Can't have it. I left my actual phone back in the dorm, but I need to take pictures for the next couple of days. I'll buy another disposable one, or a better one this time and maybe just replace my old one. Can Hackerman find it? If he could, wouldn't I have known already? Tape over the cameras and messing with the microphone wouldn't have stopped them. Zach's face got more serious as he headed towards the stairs up to an elevated train station. Does Shigaraki know I took part? There's no evidence. Nothing linking me to this. But if the spy at U.A. is in my class, or a teacher, I'm sure Shigaraki would suspect it was me. Well fuck him! Let him think it was me. I want his plans to fail. I want everything he's made to fall apart in front of him. All his plans! I WANT TO KILL HIM!

Zach stopped on the stairs up to the station as his mouth twisted into a furious snarl. Diamondfist, was one of the bigger players if he had his own operation. That, seemed like a big one too. Not just focusing on one business, that warehouse must have supplied different groups of League members all over. That kind of stuff is what they give smaller groups of villains too sometimes to get them to join, or just to give them incentive for profit. If some of the less loyal groups don't get their shipments, they could get mad at the League for failing. Diamondfist is also known as a League of Villains member, so his capture, his arrest makes them look weak. It better make people think they're a joke. Think they aren't really the top of the underworld. Makes the villains fight each other more. Those fights, did more damage to the underworld than the heroes have this past half a year. But maybe, what Webb does… no, what Webb and I do from here on, will make as much of a difference. Or maybe what we do, will cause the fights that do that damage. I can only hope, Zach thought, but he started smirking again. But even if it didn't do much. We stopped villains. Confiscated all that dangerous stuff. Took out a warehouse the League used. This was a win. I, actually did, some good. Like a hero would.

On Saturday morning in the Class-A dorm of U.A. High School, a number of the students were sitting around the common room. They were eating, or making food, and they were talking about the one thing that had been bothering them since the morning before. The fact that none of the teachers even really talked about it made them all the more confused and interested, but Aizawa told them not to talk about it to anyone back at homeroom yesterday. So none of them knew what was happening, or what the school was doing about the disappearance of one of its students.

Denki Kaminari checked Zach's room after he got up, half-expecting his friend to have just snuck back in in the middle of the night. He was sitting at a table in the common room with a frustrated look on his face, tapping a finger next to his breakfast plate and grumbling to himself. "Not telling me a thing. Thought we were past that. Stupid idiot. I want to go on vacation." Kaminari lifted his tapping hand and ran it up the side of his hair a bunch of times.

Jirou sat across the table from the blond, and she sighed as he was still feeling the same way she saw him look throughout the day yesterday. The whole class was on edge though, as it came the second day without Zach with still no word of where he was. None of them wanted to believe that he was not coming back, but not one of them could also stop themselves from thinking it was a possibility. Jirou opened her mouth to say something to Kaminari about being so mopey, then she frowned and closed her mouth with a more upset look on it as she thought about how Zach looked on Thursday afternoon. "Where would he even go?" She mumbled, and Kaminari looked up to see her staring at him as she asked.

Kaminari shook his head, and he muttered back, "I don't know." He blinked a few times, then he sat up in his seat fast and shook that mood from his face. "But you said it yourself, he was, stressed," Kaminari said, though changing the phrasing Jirou used when she talked to him about this at lunch yesterday.

I said he was "scared," but whatever, Jirou thought.

"Hey guys," Uraraka started, getting up from her seat that she had been sitting in with a thoughtful and sad look. She walked towards the couches while the others looked towards her, and she said, "Something's…"

She had her phone in her left hand, and she walked towards the tv and grabbed the remote. Uraraka turned it on and flipped to the news while others got up from their tables and rushed over at her hesitant voice. No one sat on the couches. They just stood behind or in front of them, some of them nudging others to move so they could get a good look. "Kaminari, bend down or move," Jirou snapped at the blond who ran right in front of it. He moved to the side, but he did not turn back towards her and just kept staring at the screen.

"Whoa," Kirishima said, and he grinned at what he was seeing on the screen. Despite all their moods, this put a smile on his face. "They did a raid on the League of Villains?" He asked in surprise, grinning his sharp teeth as he saw the media gathered about, some pro heroes in the background, and police all over the place. There were no villains on the screen as they had all been arrested and taken away already, but there were crates and boxes from inside being wheeled out of an open garage.

"That's not," Uraraka started, and she glanced down at her phone again and what she had read on it. A couple others looked to her, then to the young female reporter on the screen who had her cameraman turn the camera towards the leading officer at the scene.

She asked him about the specifics of the operation, and the officer responded, "What you see here," he turned and motioned back at the warehouse. "Is a result of villain on villain violence. Two villain gangs fighting over territory, and the contraband we confiscated inside. It was an anonymous tip to the police that led to the arrests of eleven villains, including one Todo Viscucci, known more commonly by his villain name Diamondfist. We believe he was a high ranking member of the League of Villains, so this is quite a victory. Four of the villains arrested sustained critical injuries, however we believe they are not life-threatening at this time. We also confiscated over two tons of illicit substances, illegal weapons, and many of the villains were wearing costumes they acquired through the black market…"

"This is, pretty cool," Sero said. He knew he should be a lot more excited over this, and he would be on any other day. "You had me scared there for a second Uraraka," he added with a small laugh. "I thought you were- well, nevermind."

Kaminari turned his head towards Sero, his eyes huge which made Sero lean back. Sero opened his mouth to say he didn't really expect anything, but Kaminari asked first in a whisper, "You think it was Zach?"

Everyone in the room stared at him, and then they spun to Uraraka who had a nervous look on her face. "What is it Uraraka?" Kirishima asked, seeing the girl look like she had something to say.

"I must have read, something wrong," Uraraka said quietly. "If they're saying it was a fight between villain gangs…" She hesitated, then whispered, "But, I read something on my phone that said the villains were all League of Villains, not from different gangs. And," she hesitated again, and she rubbed the side of her head with a confused look on her face. "It said one of the villains being led out in cuffs, was-"

"Zach?!" Kaminari asked in shock.

"No!" Uraraka exclaimed, throwing her hands up as that was not what she meant at all. Kaminari's face relaxed, as did a few others who Uraraka realized she had scared right there. So she stopped beating around the bush, and she said, "The villain coming out was saying that it was a, a single person who," she stopped herself and then said quickly, "But that's just what villains say, so they don't get arrested? Try to make it seem like they were arrested without proper procedure, right?"

"The police, are saying it was a gang fight," Sato started. "Do you think they'd lie just to be able to arrest the villains?"

"No, no of course not," Uraraka said quickly, shaking her head.

Kirishima frowned deeply though at Sato's question. It's not like they haven't bent the truth before to fit… VTS, and what they did at Zach's trial. We can't always just trust what the media tells us.

Iida had been quiet while this went on in front of him, as he stood behind the couch and looked over his shorter classmates' heads. He hummed at Sato's question, and he lifted a hand to his chin and frowned while thinking harder about it. Stain still would have been arrested even if they had shown that it was myself, Midoriya, and Todoroki who fought him. That is because a life was in danger though, and we acted. An act of violence, not in self defense or the defense of others, but an attack on villains who were at their own base… would that be accepted? And if the police did arrest them after such a thing, would it not give legitimacy to the act of vigilantism without a hero license? They could not accept that, but they also cannot let so many villains go. Would they lie and change the facts so they could arrest them, maybe not? But I do think that they will intentionally avoid looking into the villains' claim that it was a vigilante. If it is true that it was a single person, they will still just call that person a villain as well, as they very well may have been! No, as they would have been had they done this without the proper protocols… without a hero license…

Iida's eyes started opening wider. But what if it was Zach? He, has a hero license. Would that make it… Except why would he not take credit? Is it because it is a provisional hero license and he should not be acting- why do I think it is him? He went on vacation. That is what he claimed. If he knew where the villains were, and wanted the police to arrest them, why would he attack them himself and on his own? And if he did, is Zach really strong enough to take on all those villains on his own? I do not think so, but then again, Iida saw a dark figure with glowing red eyes appear in his mind who he saw for the first time a couple of days ago. He thought about VTS and how Zach was credited for defeating two villains. Perhaps, it is not so far-fetched for Uraraka-kun and Kaminari-kun to believe this.

"There's no way," Sero said to the blond in front of him who started grinning a nervous grin.

"You're trying to tell me," Jirou began. She had a sweatdrop on the side of her face, and she muttered in a deadpan tone at Kaminari, "Zach snuck out of school, went to Ugina City, and he took down a villain operation on his own? That's what you think happened?" She asked.

Uraraka started shaking her head, as the idea sounded crazy in her head even when she first thought it. Kaminari frowned more nervously at Jirou's question, and the girl with earphone jacks coming out of her ears continued while looking back towards the screen, "You really think he would go back there?" Her frown dipped lower, thinking about how afraid Zach looked on Thursday again. "Not Lifebringer!" It echoed in her mind and she flinched while watching the police pull out more contraband from the warehouse, heroes guarding around the area. "He just needed time away from here. That's it."

"Yeah," Kirishima said, putting his hands behind his head and letting out a sigh. What Kaminari said had him shocked for a minute there, but he shook his head around and almost laughed at the thought of it. He just needed a break. Hope he feels safe, wherever he went.

I feel good na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Zach walked down a street in a scenic area of Kyoto. He had headphones in his ears, a red beanie on his head, but his black face-mask was pulled down a bit since it was not all that cold out. He nodded his head while looking out over the water on his left, out towards a shrine unobscured by the trees around it that had no leaves on them. Zach smiled and pulled his new phone out, taking a picture of the shrine before turning the camera to himself and getting a selfie with it in the background. Thanks Aunt Maye, na-na-na-na… He turned and pocketed his new phone, and he thanked the woman in his head who he was glad never cut off his ATM card. Probably should stop buying new phones though. Third new one in a month. She's gotta be confused at where all that money's going. Maybe she heard about the fire-

Zach started nodding his head again and he reached up and pressed on the up-volume button near the top of his white headphones. He listened to the songs for free online so he did not have to buy any, and he put his arms behind his head as he continued walking down a street that only had other walkers or bikers on it. There were no cars, and a lot of the people around looked to be tourists like him who were checking out the shrines and temples of Kyoto. Wonder why I never came here? I had years of time, that I just spent at home when I could have traveled around the country. Guess I was still a kid, didn't really think about it.

Zach had a skip in his step as he pulled out his phone and changed the song to another upbeat and fun one to nod his head to. He shoved it back into his pocket and then hummed along, thinking about what he did the night before over and over again in his head. He had taken a nap as soon as he got to his rented motel room, sleeping in Nightmare mode even though he was pretty sure no one knew where he was. The reservation he made was still there, even though the guy at the front desk was annoyed at him for not showing up on time. He said he'd pay for the full three nights though, so now he had a place to go back to after his fun day in Kyoto.

The suns were already going down in the west though, and Zach decided to head back into the bigger part of the city as he would not be able to see the nature part as much once it was dark. He headed into Kyoto and walked around with headphones in, his face mostly showing, and he barely felt in danger at all. Attack me. I dare you! I feel fucking invincible right now! "I feel invincible…" Zach pulled out his phone and started looking up a new song, then he popped open a different app once he was listening to a song that had him grinning confidently. Two hours until the show starts. Guess I'll get some food. Still have a lot of cash on me.

Zach went to a strip in Kyoto that had a lot of good-looking restaurants on it. He did not know if he was dressed well enough for a few of them, but he saw a place that a family walked into and grinned. If it was family-friendly, he figured that meant they would be fine with him looking like he did. He was wearing nicer clothes under his jacket than the dark ones he wore when he left on Thursday night anyway, as he had brought a better set for the show tonight in his backpack.

Zach ordered a steak, he got a milkshake with it, and he even considered getting dessert on top of it all. He smiled at his waitress though and said while patting his stomach, "I think I'm good. Could I get the check please?"

She nodded at him and left to get it. Zach sat back in his chair and looked over to some televisions where people were playing soccer, and although he did not have a preference for either team, he smiled as someone scored a goal and made the people at the bar cheer. A couple of them patted each other on the back, two younger guys Zach wondered if they were actually twenty years old yet high-fived, and Zach laughed as one guy at the bar moaned. He was wearing a different jersey color than the others around him, and a couple of his friends started poking fun of him which made him call back that his team would catch up. Zach heard a cry come from behind him and looked over his chair over to the booth the family that went in before him was sitting at.

A young kid was complaining about not getting dessert, but Zach smiled as the parents got him to quiet down, and the boy's older sister said something to him with a smile on her face that made the frowning kid smile again. Zach wondered what they were talking about, but he turned his head as his waitress was next to his table again. He thought she had been gone a little long for just getting his check, but she was smiling down at him as he looked up at her with the smile on his own face. His started to go away and he got confused as she opened up the black bill and put it down in front of him. Zach looked down at the receipt, then up at the woman next to him with wide eyes.

He looked back down at the receipt and the amount he owed at the bottom. Zach stared at the pen scribbling over the price, and the note at the bottom, 'Lifebringer eats free.' Zach opened his mouth as he saw it, his face twitching and he looked up like he wanted to say something. The look on the woman's face though as she smiled down at him, it made Zach purse his lips at her. She leaned down and said, "I asked my boss. He said it was alright-"

"Could, could you two not tell other people I'm here?" Zach whispered, deciding not to try and hide it. He did not think his identity would be discovered because of the scars on his face and ear, but he had taken his hat off when he sat at the table. He wished he had not, and he wished he had gone to another restaurant all of a sudden.

The waitress got a surprised look on her face, then she started nodding at the boy in front of her. "Of course. My lips are sealed. I'll pass it on to the manager too," she added. She took a step to walk past Zach's chair, but then she put a hand down on his left shoulder. "Thank you," she whispered down to him.

Zach looked over his shoulder and watched as she walked away. Did I save her life? I, didn't recognize her? I- I came to Kyoto, a couple of times didn't I? Or did I save the manager? Or just someone she knows? Or she's just thanking me, his lips started curling up. Zach grabbed his jacket and the receipt as he got out of his seat, lifting his red beanie to put back on his head. She's just thanking me, for all of it. Everything. Zach's eyes started to get wet, and he moved quickly for the door of the restaurant. Am I that recognizable? Should I, be more worried? She agreed not to say anything, but can I trust her? Why not?

She gave me a free meal, not ratted me out to her villain overlords. Most people, aren't on the villains' side. I'm so worried about it all the time, I forgot a simple thing. Zach looked back as he got to the door of the restaurant. He stared at the bar where the guys watching soccer all started calling out as someone was driving down the field, to the family standing up and getting their coats back on, to the waitress and the man in a black suit next to her who were staring over from near the kitchen. He gave them a small half-wave, and the two nodded back towards him and waved as well. Zach spun and left the steak place, and he could not have smiled wider if he tried, even as he had to wipe his eyes of the water welling up in them.

He stepped out onto the street and looked around the sidewalks. People who were walking in and out of restaurants and bars. Families and people waiting for taxis. A bus coming to a stop and dropping a couple of people off, and two taxi drivers standing between their cars and laughing about something. He thought about the shrines he saw earlier and how amazed everyone else was as they took pictures around him too. I'm not the only one. Everyone can see it. They can all see, how beautiful this, that this world can be. His smile lowered a little, but he turned and started walking the direction of the theater.

Zach Sazaki went to a theater. He went to see a play, and he sat in the audience and took off his jacket but left his beanie on for the duration of the show. He did not want more people to recognize who he was, but three-quarters of the way through the show, he noticed the girl who had been sitting on his left from the start staring at him.

A bead of sweat rolled down his face as she turned left and started telling her boyfriend on her side something. Then she turned back his way and leaned in, while her boyfriend leaned forward on her other side. "Hey, I'm not imagining things, right? Are you, Zach Sazaki?" She whispered.

Do I lie? I kind of want to. Zach turned towards her with a confused look on his face, then the right corner of his lip started pulling up. He cursed internally as he did it, then he lifted a finger to his mouth and shushed her quietly. He was not doing it because the show was going on, but as a request for her to not make a big deal out of it. Her eyes opened wide, and she spun back to her boyfriend whose eyes were already wide as he saw Zach shush them.

"Could we get a picture?" The guy said after his girl looked excitedly back at him.

Oh. Well, I guess it would be good to have other people back up my alibi too. "Sure," Zach whispered back. "After the show though, and could you not post it or anything… at least for a couple of days?" The two stared at him in surprise, but they each nodded at his request. He figured if he asked them not to post it at all they might have to break that promise, but they both seemed happy enough to get a picture that they might listen to him.

The show continued and Zach went back to watching it, and he was glad the other two on his left did not start asking him questions through the show. They actually just let him watch in peace, though the guy pulled his phone out and had texted someone which Zach pretended he did not notice. It's not the villains. He's probably telling his best friend or something. And that guy will spread it to others, but it'll just be a random rumor. Just ignore it. You're fine.

Zach relaxed in his comfortable chair. He leaned back in it and started smiling again as the orchestra with the play started getting louder as an intense scene started up. He watched as the men battled over the love of a woman who already had a different lover, who was sneaking in while focus was supposed to be on the fighters. That guy was sneaking up behind the female actress, and she looked shocked as he tapped on her back and she spun around. The two battling it out on stage had no idea the woman they were fighting over was sneaking away, and Zach loved how into the battle the two seemed, like each really thought they would get the love of the woman if they defeated their opponent.

How hard must they have worked to act that well? You know… I could probably be an actor. Do actors with hero licenses get to use their powers while they act? I heard of an American hero who uses his powers on tv a lot. Well, I know I could do it. I act really well. Tricked Shigaraki didn't I? His lips curved down into a deep frown. I did. And that's why they're- they're dead, Zach saw one of the two actors on the stage falling backwards, really fake blood splashing up as the man most of the audience did not expect to win actually took him down. Zach tried to get back into it, but his expression was darker now and his eyes lowered from the stage to his own lap that his hands were in, his right still in a single glove and his left not. He knew the other two on his left had looked down at his right hand while he sat there, and now he was staring at it too.

People like me. They gave me my meal for free. They want to take pictures with me in public. That's like, a hero. But I'm not. Not yet… Even though I fight villains? Even though we took down Diamondfist last night? No, Webb took Diamondfist down… I helped. I really did. And people think I'm a hero. I saved people. I saved so many. But, I let them- I let them die. No, I got them killed. I couldn't do anything. But I'm trying! Jenny, I- I'm still trying to be a hero. Like you thought I was. Up until, the second you… A tear rolled out of Zach's right eye and slid down his face, and he lifted his arm and wiped it quickly, since the scene on stage was not a really sad one so he knew his expression would be confusing to anyone watching, and there were people watching.

They're, really good actors, and actresses, Zach thought. To get me this emotional. That's it. That's why, I'm crying. He shook his head of other thoughts besides the play, then thought of the two on his left who wanted a picture with him. I want a picture with them too. I'm glad there are people, who think of me as a hero already. Maybe one day, I'll believe it myself.

A/N Thanks for reading. Leave a review below telling me what you think or predictions/questions for the story. Zach goes on the vacation he said he was going on, and he's in a pretty good mood after the Diamondfist bust the night before. Next time he'll have to return though, and face the consequences for leaving... Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Guest chapter 35 . Jul 15

Are you going to get anyone on deviantART to draw your character and all the costumes he's had because this story is getting really good. I would offer to draw them, but I suck so if you have an interest plz ask someone!

That's a great idea. I've never had someone make a cover art for any stories before, but if anyone does want to make one I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for the suggestion.

I really like Zach teaming up with Webb! :D

Actually wanted Croatia, but oh well. Glad you liked the Webb and Zach team-up, and the end of their talk at the start of this chapter makes it seem like there may be more to come... Thanks for the review!
