Chapter 1

I'm back! Welcome to the first chapter of 'Redemption of the Innocent'. In this one, will be a short one sadly. I think. Sometimes when I write and say that the chapter will be short it might be long. Also, this is 6 months since the prologue. And because I don't know what else to say, let's go to the story!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Chapter 1: Being a Hero

Shouta Aizawa yawned as he was overlooking the city from a rooftop. It had passed some months since the defeat of All Might enemy. It wasn't made public for reasons he doesn't know, but it doesn't bother him neither.

He was told by Yamada, that heard that from Nemuri that heard that from UA's principal Nedzu. Approximated, another 100 villains where also caught during the raid.

And rumor says that there was a kid between them.

Also, he heard that from Yamada and he isn't sure from where that rumor came from.

Looking down to the street he spotted a thief pointing a knife to a woman. Adjusting his yellow goggles, he jumped down and went into action.

*Police Station*

Aizawa wasn't used to bring himself villains he arrested to the station himself. He usually just left them tied at a light post, stay hided to make sure the guy doesn't try anything stupid and finally leave once a police officer arrive and take the guy away.

He decided to go himself, seeing that no one came in half-hour.

The reason he doesn't like to deliver the villains himself, it is because there might be someone in the station that might ask him questions like who is he, how old is he, what his name, and etc. The point is that he doesn't like to call attention of the media to keep his life peaceful.

It was hard to go through the rooftops with a grown man tied on his shoulder but at the end he managed to arrive to the station safe and sound. He was greeted by an aparently new officer.

"Hey, are you a new hero? Haven't heard of you yet." The young officer greets Aizawa that didn't do anything. That's why he doesn't likes rookies.

He simply dropped the thief on the ground and turned away. "Keep this. And learn how to do your job." He was going to leave, when he listened the sounds of crying. It wasn't weird to hear that in a police station. Drunks, teenagers and people caught in the wrong place and in the wrong time, sometimes cry when they are sent here.

But this was the cry of a kid.

Kids aren't usually in the station for no motive. When they are little, they bring them here if they are lost. They cry? Yes. But this cry sounded more desperate and fearful.

Ignoring the officer that was trying to get the thief of the strange bandages he was tied, he walked into the station. He went right towards the sound of the crying and what he saw he wasn't sure what makes him feel.

Surprise, disappointment or anger.

Inside of the few personal cells that where in the station, a green-haired kid with freckles on his face, no older than 6 or 7 years, was sat on the floor, holding his knees while crying.

The young officer rushed behind Aizawa. "Mr: I don't know who you are, but you can't just come like this into the station. There are rules and-"

"Yoi, let him." Tsukauchi Naomasa, a police detective that was in the station told to the rookie that nodded and left back to his post. Naomasa turned to Aizawa "So, Eraserhead; in what can I help you?"

"Why is there a kid in here?" Aizawa asked sharply and Naomasa turned to the kid.

"Him?" Aizawa nodded "They bring him here from the correctional center. Some of the most troublesome kids tried to take advantage of him. Some hight ranking officers decided to put him in a cell, I quote, 'If he tries anything funny'." He explained and Aizawa frowned.

"How old is he?"

Naomasa scratched his chin "I think that... 7 if I'm not wrong."

"And what horrible crime did the kid comit to be locked in a police station?" Aizawa asked with sarcasm in his voice and Naomasa sighed.

"I don't know, Eraser- I truly don't. But some of the higher ups, treat him like the devil or something."

Aizawa nodded, frown still in place "Can I take his file with me?"

Naomasa shrugged "I guess. What harm can it create?" He asked as he disappeared in a multitude of workers. After some minutes, he reemerged with a maybe too thin folder. Naomasa handed it to Aizawa.

"Here it is. Izuku Midoriya folder." Naomasa said and Aizawa nodded as a thank you and goodbye. He then left and decided that for today, he will end his shift earlier.

He has some investigation to do.

*Hospital*

Yagi Toshinori was just waking up in a hospital bed. The last thing he remembers was fighting All for One, knocking him out and then a strong attack but not before his enemy attacked him with an unknown quirk making him feel pain. More than ever.

Trying to sit, he slowly did it. He looked around and he noticed he was in his true form. He touched where the attack of All for One connected and flinched at the contact.

"Don't touch that!" An old voice said and he recognized it as the one of Recovery Girl.

"Recovery Girl? What happened? Why am I in the hospital? Where is All for One?" Where the questions Yagi asked the elder hero.

"Don't worry Toshinori, it is over." Gran Torino, another old hero and the one that help Yagi control his powers.

Yagi nodded and felt himself smiling slightly "Finally. Nana-san can rest."

Gran Torino nodded "That's right. That monster and his family are all locked down."

This caught the hurt hero's attention "Family?"

Gran Torino gave a sharp nod "That's right. A wife and a kid. The wife threw knives and anything pointy and made out of metal that her quirk could handle. The kid, found him crying in his room."

"Crying? How old is he Sensei?" Yagi asked and Gran Torino shrugged.

"Young. I doubt the brat is older than 10." At that Yagi's eyes widened.

"What!? How could it be!? If he is that young, why is he under arrest too!?" Yagi demanded and Gran Torino glared at him.

"Maybe because he is that monster son. The same one that killed Nana. You remember that Yagi?" Gran Torino nodded and Recovery Girl smacked him over the head with his baston.

"Don't be like that. There isn't known too much about the kid. What I heard, is that they moved him to the main police station of Musutafu."

"The police station? Isn't that too extreme?" Yagi questioned and Gran Torino scoffed.

"Knowing who the father is. No. Maybe is even lacking security." He received another smack on the head.

While Recovery Girl was scolding her friend, Yagi was looking down at the bed sheets. He was having conflicted feelings about his most mortal enemy son.

In one side, he doesn't know if the kid is like the father. Maybe he is another evil master mind, with an even more evil quirk. Just planning a way on how to control the world and destroy One for All.

In the other hand, he might just be a normal kid. Nana told him stories of All for One and how the man is. Maybe he even treated his son like trash. Maybe the kid was nothing like thatl. And even if he was, he could still be saved.

Then he remembered what Nana-san told him once.

When you have to save someone, they're usually in a scary situation. A true hero saves not only their lives, but also their hearts... That's what I believe. So no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, 'I'm a-ok'. The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest.

Maybe he can save his heart...

"I want to see him." Yagi interrupted Gran Torino and Recovery Girl argument with those few words.

"What? Who?" Gran Torino asked.

"The kid. All for One's kid. I want to judge him myself."

Gran Torino frowned and was going to nag Yagi for speaking such nonsense but Recovery Girl beat him.

"I think you need to rest Yagi-san. You just woke up from a coma. We have exams to make too." She said, as she walked Gran Torino out of the room.

Once outside, Recovery Girl frowned at the retired hero. "What was that all about?"

"It's just... I don't understand why does he want to meet his son. He should be happy they are all going to rot in prison!" Gran Torino exclaimed and Recovery Girl shook her head.

"Nana-san would be disappointed in you right now." She simply said as she walked back into the room, leaving a frowning Gran Torino at the hallway.

What would Nana think indeed.

*Aizawa's Apartment*

"SHOUTAAAAA! I brought food!" Yamada Hizashi irrupted into the small apartment in his civilian clothes. He heard that his friend didn't finish his shift last night and got worried that something bad happened to him.

When he entered he expected to his friend to tell him to be quieter or something like that. But nothing came. He just found Aizawa glaring at a folder.

"Leave it on the kitchen." Was all that Aizawa said as he didn't take his eyes off the thin folder.

Yamada nodded with a big grin as he left the food on the table that was inside the small kitchen. He then walked towards Aizawa to see what was the source of his anger.

"Another case?" Yamada asked as he leaned to see what was it about and saw why his friend was so mad. "Hey Shouta,"

"What?"

"It is blank buddy."

Somehow, Aizawa face darkened a lot more. "I know. It is fucking BLANK!" He screamed as he threw the folder to a wall.

Yamada raised his hands protectively, surprised by his friend's outburst. This was big. Shouta NEVER reacts like that. "Okay, calm down. I know it is frustrating to not have clues on a case, but I can help you if you want. I know that you aren't a big fan of people getting into your bus-"

"You know from who that file belongs too?" Aizawa growled and Yamada raised a brow.

"A super villain without witnesses?"

"A seven-year-old kid!" Aizawa exploded again and Yamada gaped.

"What?"

"They arrested a kid, with no criminal records whatsoever, and treat him like if he destroyed the damn world!" Aizawa was livid. How could the actual society do something like this? Why would someone ever do something like this?

"It-It doesn't make any sense! I know I told you about the kid, but it was a prank! The only reason that a kid would be taken and treated like that it would be because..."

"His parents are villains. And big ones." Aizawa concluded as he sat on the couch. Next to him, Yamada flopped down.

There was a tense silence in the room. Neither young heroes know what to do.

"We need to save him." Aizawa said and Yamada nodded.

"That's obvious. But how? He can't just break into the station and take him out by force."

"There must be another way." Aizawa said and then it hit him. "What if a hero takes him in?"

"That probably be accepted. I mean, if they have him under heavy watch it is because people are afraid of him being like all villain and stuff. But there is no hero that would risk his reputation. The only one would be one that doesn't even care about what people think about... him..." He turned to Aizawa "You are going to do what I think you're going to do?"

Aizawa stood up "Did you bring a car?"

Yamada grinned "Yeah! Let's go!"

*Police Station*

After having an argument with the people of the child services and a high up of the police force Aizawa finally got the papers needed to take Izuku. He wasn't planning on having him forever. Only until he founds a family that will really take care of him.

Because no matter how much Yamada would beg, he won't adopt him.

"Hey Shouta, I know you're not going to adopt him or anything, but; are you nervous?"

Aizawa stared with bored eyes to the station in front of them. "Yes."

Yamada chuckled as he patted his back. "Well, better go inside. The kid had already suffered long enough. And for more cliché that it might sounds; Go and be his hero. We know that the kid needs one."

Aizawa didn't answer. He just walked inside the police station to change a life and not knowing it, his own too.

And done! This was the first chapter of 'Redemption of the Innocent'. I hope you enjoyed it. Now, some few things:

Gran Torino not caring about Izuku condition. He hates All for One for killing Nana, so part of that hate is directed towards Izuku.

Aizawa outburst. Here, Aizawa is a kind of new to the hero world. He have's one-year top of experience. So, for more controlled he is, he could explode by something unfair like putting a kid into jail.

And I think that's all. Thanks to everyone for reaching to this part. Remember to leave your Review that it motivates me, PM me for any doubt or suggestion, Follow and Favorite the story and me.

Till Next Time.

"Goodbye kid."
