Screaming
Anger
Crying
It was the one thing that could startle Hisako, the rageful yelling of Mashito forcing her to get up from the punches she had to endure. She hadn't lived with her new… family? For long, but she could tell that there wasn't any tension between the two siblings. Up until she heard yelling from downstairs. Whoever it was, they sounded far too much like Mashito so she waited until it was over. To make sure Lavania was okay, she left her room and headed down, only to see Lavania crying, standing at the open door.
"Lavania what happened?" Hisako asks, guiding her down to a chair to calm down.
"...Leizcio… He… He ran away." Lavania sobbingly said barely able to get it out, the words driving the knife further into her heart.
"Wait what? But why? That was him yelling?" Hisako questioned wondering what could've happened to Leizcio. He seemed that his life was quite fine other than having Mashito for a father, so what could've happened?
"... Later okay?" Lavania muttered as she gets up from her seat, dragging herself upstairs. Hisako doesn't know what to do, she's never been in a situation like this. All she can do is hope for the best.
The rain had started to dissipate but Leizcio continued running. He didn't want to believe any of this is true, why'd she do this to him? It's one thing to be worried about your brother, but it's another thing when you stop him from reaching his dream. His tears were lost in the distance as he ran.
He took with him the bare things he needed. He wasn't about to be going back there, not when he can't feel safe around his own sister. He finally stops running and is in front of one of the warehouses he had found beforehand the first time he wanted to train his electricity. He looks around to make sure there is nobody else around and he throws down his bags.
"Why…" Is all Leizcio muttered as he stopped crying. The sun was already beginning to go down. Leizcio quickly takes out his phone and starts tinkering with it. Using the knowledge he's gained studying support gear, he removes any chances of his phone being tracked, knowing Lavania or Tamashi would try and use that to find him.
'Tamashi… She was a part of this too…' Leizcio thought as he took out a sleeping bag. Even the person that encouraged and got him into vigilantism also wanted to do the same thing. He was digging through one of his bags and saw his vigilante disguise. He held it in his hands but put it back down, too emotionally tired to deal with patrols today.
Leizcio spent the rest of the time to accommodate himself the best he could with the warehouse. He didn't take much but he was rather done quickly. Noticing the sun was going down, he calls it a day and zips himself into his sleeping bag. His mind was exhausted from the emotional toll that ran him over, quickly sending him to sleep.
Rays of light rudely wake up Leizcio as they escape through the cracks of the warehouse. Unzipping the sleeping bag, he checks his backpack and takes out his phone. It was early in the morning and class was going to be in an hour. He packs his uniform into his backpack, planning to change into it before he's at the station.
As he gets himself ready to go, Leizcio takes a deep sigh. Of course, it isn't ideal to be living in a warehouse, but he doesn't really have a place to call home for the moment so it'll have to do for now. He runs out, heading over to the station.
A few blocks away from it, Leizcio goes to a hidden spot and quickly changes into his U.A uniform. Ready to head over to the station he walks over and as usual, Ochaco is there waiting for him and the train arrives on time. The two headed in and were on their way.
"Leizcio you okay? You seem a bit tired?" Ochaco asks, noticing that something was a bit off about him today.
"Yeah, just didn't sleep that comfortably." Leizcio said partially lying. He trusts Ochaco but this situation is something for him himself to figure out. As for the partial truth, even with a sleeping bag, concrete is not the best thing to sleep on.
As they entered UA, classes continued on as normal. During the classes though, Leizcio got distracted, not being able to help but think about everything that happened yesterday. It also didn't help that internships were coming up soon in about a few days. Having to go somewhere he hasn't gone, even as the 'Blur'.
Disrupting his train of thought, the last bell rings as their last class was dismissed. Leizcio began packing his things and head out towards the gates, walking with Ochaco and Midoriya. As the three of them start to head over to the station, Leizcio drifts off.
"Are you not going on the train today Esperanza?" Midoriya asked him as the two come to a halt around Leizcio.
"No, I… I'm helping a friend for a few days before internships. His parents need some extra help renovating their house so I wanted to help." Leizcio lied, not wanting to reveal the reason he isn't going on the train. Midoriya just nodded in understanding but Ochaco had her doubts. Telling Midoriya that she'll catch up with him, she looks at Leizcio with a look of concern and doubt.
"This isn't a 'blur' thing is it?" She whispered.
"It isn't, trust me." Leizcio whispered back, with Ochaco sighing in relief.
"Okay but if you do decide to 'go out' please be safe okay?" Ochaco tells him before she leaves.
"I will I promise." Leizcio says as he walks away from the station.
Once he walks over to an alleyway, he starts changing out of his school uniform and into his vigilante suit. After he puts it on, he runs over back to the warehouse. Looking around, he exhales quietly glad that his stuff wasn't messed around with. Throwing his bag down, he takes out whatever homework he has to do and pulls over a crate to do it on.
Finishing his work, Leizcio looks at his phone looking at the police radio. It was a thing Tamashi showed him how to hack into police calls to be ahead of the game. Unsurprisingly, there was plenty going on for Leizcio to go and solve.
"Time to just- oh." Leizcio muttered as he was about to get into his vigilante disguise only to realize he never took it off after leaving the school. He thought about how patrol was going to be. Usually, Tamashi would be talking in the earpiece he'd have on. But these nights Leizcio needs time for just himself.
He hides his backpacks and belongings to make sure anyone that snoops around doesn't find out that a random UA student is hiding out in a random warehouse. Tying his shoes, he bolts off, ready to patrol on his own.
The patrol goes on as normal, saving people from random muggers, taking down villains. Running was the one thing he could do that helped him to clear his mind. He forgets about the betrayal from Lavania and Tamashi. But while he might've felt freer, his guard had started to go down a bit more. Villains got in a few more hits and cuts on him than they usually could. He might be fast, but in some situations, he has to get involved.
Running back into the warehouse after it started to get late into the night, Leizcio begins to take off his disguise. Looking down on his chest, he notices a lot of scratches and bruises. He quickly ran off into a random store, getting bandages and leaving money on the counter.
He groans as he began wrapping the bandages around his injuries, even having to cover a few that got on his right arm. The wounds were rough and hurt and sure the speed healing would take care of it most likely, but he can't help but look back at yesterday. It was going relatively well, he finally chose his hero name and even got an offer from apparently a good pro hero. But that call from Tamashi… It's what made it all go downhill. He is unsure whether he's glad he was told or not. On one hand, there would've been no argument and Leizcio would be back home. On the other hand, who knows how long Lavania would've kept drugging him.
He has no energy to cry, he just looks at his phone seeing that it's already 1 in the morning so he goes and zips himself into his sleeping bag. He drifts off into sleep, avoiding his worries.

"Tamashi are you sure you haven't heard anything?" Lavania worriedly asked over the phone pacing around the living room. She closed the cafe the day after the argument as she wouldn't be able to handle leading it today.
"Sorry Lavania, but I haven't been able to track his phone and his suit isn't giving me a location either." Tamashi said looking at her laptop screen and others that she previously used to track Leizcio back during his vigilante patrols.
"We'll find him soon okay Lavania? Just give him some time, he just needs time to take it in." Tamashi reassured Lavania as she leans back into her seat, tired from searching about for Leizcio.
"I hope so, thank you Tamashi…" Lavania muttered as she hung up the call. She puts her hand on her forehead as she looks at her laptop. As she's about to do something, Hisako enters the living room with a hoodie in her hands.
"He was the 'Blur' this whole time?" Hisako questions as she shows Lavania the hoodie. Lavania quickly took it out of her hands before she responded, looking at the rough and beat-up hoodie.
"How'd you get this?" Lavania asked still feeling her hands through the burns and holes that it had.
"I found it in Leizcio's room. There were quite a few of them lying about. All of them were damaged." Hisako said with a cold tone. She was still adjusting to these people and suddenly learning that her brother is practically a criminal doesn't help.
"... Yes… He was the 'Blur' for a while now. A friend of ours offered him the chance to be a vigilante and he accepted. It was only a few weeks after his quirk had manifested and he was already being reckless." Lavania said with regret in her voice putting the hoodie down on the table.
"So his first appearance against those three villains was actually his first day as a vigilante?" Hisako asked recalling Mashito watching the video way back when it came out.
"Yeah, that was him… I remember Tamashi had to treat all of his injuries that night. And that wasn't the last time either. That shadow-
"Beast Villain? I remember that quite well. Mashito had me watch it with him. We didn't know who stole one of his prototype hero suits until we saw that video. But seeing that raw energy from Leizcio… I think it infuriated him, seeing someone in his suit, beating someone who could nearly match him." Hisako says remembering the rage Mashito expressed seeing that video.
"But that doesn't explain why Leizcio left. Why did he leave Lavania?" Hisako pressed, wanting an answer as to why her brother had left their home presumably in a rage.
"... I did… I treated him wrongly…" Lavania said as she started to get that lump in her throat, about to tear up.
"I was scared for him. Our mom… she was a pro hero. She was always so kind, helping others with her quirk. But her quirk… it hurt her when it healed others, but that didn't stop her. The disease she got a few years back worsened because her immune system became weak from her quirk… Seeing Leizcio act the same way, I couldn't bear to lose him. I gave him drugs that weakened his quirk… But that's what made him leave…" Lavania said weakly. But after saying it, her tears flowed down her face, droplets splashing onto the hoodie.
Hisako looked at her in sadness. She might not understand their family that well, but she knows Lavania was trying to keep Leizcio safe but went about it in a very wrong way. She goes over to her and offers a hug. Lavania sees a blurry Hisako through her tears but hugged her, not wanting to feel alone.
"I just want him to come back!" Lavania sobbingly said as she dug her head into Hisako's shoulder.
"We'll find him and make sure he's safe." Hisako said doing her best to try and comfort her.
A family torn apart, one hugging her lost sister wanting to be with someone during this time.
The other alone wallowing in his worries and anger.
