Izuku's POV
At first, he didnt explain his plan for how to stop the future, his past, from repeating itself. His main thoughts were on getting them items for survival and shelter. Under Izuku's direction, Kavar went home to get food, water, extra clothes, and whatever he could leave behind. If Kavar followed him then there would be no returning to the life he once lived.
For his part, Izuku returned to the apartment he shared with his mother. He would gather their essential supplies and do an inventory of what was in his bag. The first thing he did though was change from his school uniform. He chose a black long-sleeved shirt and black jeans. Over his shirt, he chose a warm grey jacket. The clothes that were in it he had to change out for smaller ones from his room. He kept the style patterns of dark green, grey, and black.
He dumped what was in his school bag. Nothing from that hell hole would be useful to them. The bag itself would be good for extra space. In the bottom, he lines it with two warm blankets. With winter closing in they would need them.
Briefly, he considered taking his analysis notebooks with him but decided against it. They took up too much space that could be used for other things. Hidden in his first analysis book was the money he had saved over the years. It wasnt much but it would be good for emergencies. With that, he moved into the kitchen where he grabbed two metal water bottles. Reusable was more practical. For food, he stuck to canned good and unopened boxes of protein bars. As a last-minute consideration, he grabbed a few bottles of bleach and a scrub brush. The train car would need to be cleaned for them to use after all.
His last stop was the storage room in the basement. As he expected there were sleeping bags and a tent there. If the train car didn't work out they could use the tent. After checking the sleeping bags he picked two winter bags to take with him.
When he left the building he didnt even give a glance back. It was just like when he left for college. He would not return here no matter what anyone said. His mother never believed in him and tended to forget that he existed. Without him being in her life maybe she would find true happiness.
Dagobah Beach was still very much the trash heap he remembers it to be. What could have been a great place to relax and swim was destroyed by human greed. As much as he hated to admit it, it was the perfect place for two runaways.
Kavar was waiting for him as he expected where the sand started. They had to clear a path through the trash to get to the train car. When they reached it Izuku was pleasantly surprised at how good of a shape it was in. There were a few repairs that needed to be made mostly to the roof but it would certainly be livable.
Izuku set Kavar to clearing a good space around what would be their home while he started on repairs. One good thing about being in a trash heap was that free materials were everywhere. By the time the sun was going down he had the repairs down and Kavar had cleared adequate space. They pitched the tent for the night as he had not had the chance to clean the train car.
Starting a fire for the first time since the fall was nerve-wracking. Every instinct in him screamed to put it out even as Kavar huddled close to it for warmth. Unlike his friend, Izuku was used to the cold. Making a fire in the future would have gotten him killed. Nomus would have found him and anyone else that might have been hiding nearby.
To help him friend Izuku draped a blanket over his shoulders. Not being able to stand being so close to the fire he went to patrol the perimeter around their home. It was thankfully a quiet night but it wouldn't always be this way. He knew that as soon as they had the train livable he would have to start patrolling.
Given the year that he arrived in, he would have to wait to hunt down All For One and Shigarki. Both went underground after the original loss to All Might. All For One would have to recover some of his strength. This would give Izuku time to establish himself as a vigilante. Delta would be a vigilante of Musutafu.
Delta huh... Running a hand down his face he paused by a tree that overlooked the beach. That was a mess that he never wanted to touch again. Jason Bourne may have been his main identity while chasing the Jackal but Delta was more real. While Bourne only killed the Jackal, Delta had killed hundreds. Panov one of the psychiatrists for Ciro had tried to help him but it was a difficult process. A person was not meant to have three warring personalities in their mind.
Panov had been one of the few people who could bring him back to himself. To calm Delta on a rampage. Being here though he would not have such a safety net and that scared him. Delta would not hesitate to kill whoever got in his way.
"Izuku?" Came a soft questioning voice.
Izuku swung around his eyes searching for a threat. He had not heard anyone approaching. An enemy? No. His mind supplied as he saw Kavar watching him warily. It was just his friend.
He took a deep breath before he said, "Sorry. My mind is still in the future and I'm having a hard time adjusting."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. I know you have questions about things but I'm not ready to talk about it yet."
Over the next two weeks, Izuku and Kavar cleaned up their new home and trained. They scrubbed it heavily with bleach and allowed it to air out for two days. Once that was done they took down their tent and set up their sleeping bags.
In the trash heap, they found a small stove and a table. With some tinkering, Izuku was able to run an electrical line from the nearby pole into the train car. It had to be done carefully but thanks to all the strange skills he picked up as Bourne it was doable. The electricity allowed them to have a stove and he found a fan in the second week. It would have to be cleaned and fixed but when the summer months came around it would do them some good.
By the end of their first week, Izuku and Kavar were living as comfortably as they could. A stock of their inventory told him that if they rationed their food well it would last them until mid-December to early January. After that, they would be in need of more supplies. While he could easily live off of rationed food supplies his friend would struggle.
An option would be to try and find someone to let them do odd jobs for cash. That idea was immediately scrapped. Any trustworthy adult would immediately alert their police. The most viable option would be to search the villain's pockets for cash. If they had any then take it for their food money. While it wasn't the best in terms of heroics but they would survive.
The second week was spent teaching Kavar how to fight. His friend wanted to go out with him on patrols. As he was currently Kavar would be killed trying to fight criminals. Training started out slow but that was to be expected. He had years of experience on his friend. It would take months before Izuku would allow Kavar to run with him.
At the start of the third week Izuku was going through the pile of junk he found a phone. The screen was cracked and was missing a battery. It took him most of the week to fix it and hack into the cellular towers around him to use it.
Finally, he was ready to start his vigilante work. His patrol route was on the south side of Musutafu. It was the poorer side that heroes didnt patrol. Being their vigilante would allow the citizens to feel safer.
Tsukauchi's POV
There was a loud thump as his head hit the top of his desk. Someone, please kill him. Rumors had come through his precinct that there was a vigilante in Musutafu. Normally he wouldn't have been surprised at a new vigilante appearing. Each year had a vigilante or two appearing and subsequently captured within a few weeks.
Their new vigilante had been around for two months now. The name he had given was Delta. No one had been expelled from any hero school in the area matching what little they had as a description. It took him three weeks to even get a height estimate on the vigilante. They are estimated to be just under 150 centimeters.
If Naomasa didnt know any better he would think the vigilante was a child. They did not have enough information on Delta to rule out the possibility but it was highly unlikely. From the few who had actually seen him his mannerisms spoke of experience. Criminals were taken down with ruthless efficiency. Every single one had been brought down before they really had a chance to fight back.
The week before a criminal had a drawn-out fight with Delta. This was the first look at the vigilante's fighting style. From what the criminal described the vigilante fell back upon knife fighting and hand to hand combat. A gun was said to be strapped on his hip but to date, it hadn't been used.
During the fight with the criminal, however, there was something of note. The vigilante stabbed the criminal in the upper arm. When it did the criminal with a strength-enhancing quirk was rendered quirkless. If Naomasa didnt have a lie detector quirk he wouldn't have believed it. However, his quirk told him that it was the truth.
With a sigh, he let his head thump against the desk again. This vigilante was more difficult than he had come across before. To catch them Naomasa had the feeling that he would need more heroes than just Eraserhead. Under normal circumstances, the underground hero would enough. This vigilante was not normal though.
A knock on his door drew his attention. He called out, "Enter."
Eraserhead, Ingenium, and Fatgum entered. If anyone outside of the police department saw them together they would be confused. One was an underground hero. The other two were limelight heroes who were seen regularly by the public. The only similarity between them to most was that they caught or occasionally worked with vigilantes. Out of all the heroes, he felt that they had the best chance at catching Delta.
Eraser questioned as they sat in front of the desk, "What is going on Tsukauchi? You normally don't call three heroes to one spot unless it's important?"
Naomasa replied pushing prepared files across the desk, "We have a new vigilante in town. This is all the information we have on them."
He watched as the men's faces furrowed in confusion. The file wasnt much but it was all they had currently. With any luck, they would be able to add to it soon.
Eraser asked as he laid the file back down, "How long has this vigilante been around? Are we sure that they're not a teenager or young adult?"
Fatgum said thoughtfully, "Delta is short like a teenager before their growth spurt. However, if they are a teenager then I'd say they are late teens. Most likely being a former or current student in the support course."
Ingenium denied, "No it's more likely that they are general studies. General studies students can be jealous of the hero course and will look for ways to be heroes. Most of the time support course students have what they want down already."
That narrowed it down slightly. Still, general education was a long list from just UA alone. They couldn't disregard the idea that the vigilante was someone who was expelled either. Eraser was well known for expelling students from his class for a lack of potential. That was another list they would need to check.
"I assume you are wanting me to focus on catching him as his patrol routes are close in time with mine," said Eraser.
Naomasa replied tiredly, "Yes. From what we have seen Delta's times are fairly close to your own. If you are willing to change patrol routes then we can put you as close to him as possible."
Fatgum said, "You will have to be careful with this one Eraser. Delta will use his knife if he is cornered. It has been shown to stop quirks for as long as it is in your body."
With that, they finalized ideas on how they would approach the vigilante. With any luck, the heroes would be able to stop this vigilante before things got any worse.
