Chapter 3
I'm back! Welcome everybody to chapter 3 of 'Dark Justice'. In this one, will be the last chapter before cannon and I'll introduce the pairing. Yes, I could tell you now, but for the effect of surprise, you'll have to read the first lines of the chapter. And with all that said, let's go to the story!
Legend:
"Talking."
'Thinking...'
"Demonic Voice..."
Chapter 3: Making Sure
"Hey, did you hear about Hellblazer?"
"Hellblazer? Is that a band?"
"No, it is a private investigator agency. But listen this, they say that they solve 'paranormal cases'."
Momo Yaoyorozu listen the conversations of her classmates were having and shook her head. Paranormal cases. How stupid.
It is probably some hustler trying to get money of superstitious people. How disgusting.
Once the school day was over, she went her way home. She said goodbye to her friends and in her way, she found a poster saying.
'Problems with or with other realm? Contact Hellblazer P.I. today.(A/N: The 'X' are numbers and the name of the street
Street Adress: XXXXXXX
+xxx-xxxx-xxxx'
She stared at the poster before ignoring it and continue her way home. Then she saw another one.
And another one.
And another one.
And another one.
This was unbelievable.
How is it possible that they put so many posters all across the street? And besides, at least in this part of the city, it is illegal to put posters without the authority of the mayor or the owner of the property.
Like a future hero-in-training she is, she decided that instead of complying and be angry towards this attitude, she will go to the office and warn them.
She will not do this because she wants to see about the paranormal thing.
Definitely not.
*Hellblazer P.I.*
"I like this type of days, y'know Eri?" Izuku said as he was leaning his feet on his desk, a smoke in his mouth and leaning back on his chair.
Eri looked up from her notebook and looked at Izuku "Why?"
"Because there isn't any type of troubles. No haunted houses. No demons. And definitely not common problems like bloody cheating." Izuku answered and Eri giggled. He turned his head to her "How are your studies going?"
"Good. I think I got some fire spells." Eri answered looking to her notes and Izuku nodded.
"Good. Those are the principal I-"
A knock on the door that slowly opened itself and from there, a teen, around Izuku's age, enter with grace and put one of the posters he and Eri put across the streets on his desk.
"So, in what can I help you miss?" Izuku asked and she gave him a stern look.
"I came to warn you about putting this type of behavior. Where you put this, it was a residential area, in which, it is illegal to paste posters."
Eri tilted her head and asked "Are you a cop?"
Momo, kind of surprised by the language used by the little girl, shook her head "I am not. I am a future-hero-in-training." She explained and Izuku smirked.
"Future-hero-in-training... it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?" He mocked as he sat down straight, grabbed the poster and put it under his desk. "Look miss, we were just getting some propaganda to help our business grow. Nothing wrong with that."
"Maybe if this establishment, didn't trick people, it would be better." She said closing her eyes and Izuku scoffed and Eri giggled. She looked at both before asking "Or am I wrong?"
"I won't deny something there girl, I had trick folks before, but this place is legit. Right Eri?"
Eri nodded "Right!"
"So, you are telling me that this place solves paranormal cases?" She asked, kind of insulted, thinking that this man, really believe that she would buy that.
Izuku nodded "Pretty much. Why? Got a problem out of this world?"
Momo just took a deep breath before walking out of the office and closing the door behind. Eri looked at the door and then at Izuku "What's her problem?"
Izuku took a drag of his smoke as he leaned back on his chair. "Magic is a fairy tale now at days. With quirks here and there, most things that humans can do, is easily explained with a 'That's a quirk'. Many people back in England thought I had multiple quirks because of my spells." He explained and Eri nodded.
"You never told me you lived in England." She said and Izuku nodded.
"I haven't. Maybe another day I can tell you. Now we got job to do." Izuku said as the doors opened, letting a new client enter the office.
*Next Day, Shiozaki Ladies School*
"So, is it true you went to Hellblazer?" One of her classmates asked to Momo that looked surprised.
"H-How you know that, Kaeri?"
Kaeri shrugged "Yesterday me and the girls went there to see what the deal was when we saw you come out of it with an annoyed face. So, tell us; how is it?"
"It was just a normal shop and the owner-"
"I don't care about that! The owner, Izuku I think it was, how is he? I heard rumors he is from Europe and has this 'bad boy' vibe."
Momo shook her head at the question of her classmate "Well, I don't know if he is from Europe, but he has a British accent. And he is really rude."
"Bad boy vibe, Momo. Hey, do you want to come with us to see him?" Kaeri asked and Momo sighed.
"If you insist, I'll go."
*Streets*
The group of five were walking towards Hellblazer and they got into an alleyway as a shortcut. Once inside a tall, muscular man got in front of them. "Well, well, well, look what we have in here..."
The girls, sans Momo, panicked at the look of this monster of a man. Momo was ready to create something to defend herself when the arm of the man got engulfed in fire. The man screamed in pain and fell to his knees. Behind him, the owner of Hellblazer was standing.
"Ladies, if you don't mind, me and my friend here, need to talk. So, do you mind?" He said and Kaeri and her friends ran away from the scene as did Momo, but in her curiosity, she hid behind a wall, and spied what was going to happen.
Izuku looked at the man with a smoke on his mouth and kicked him on the side sending him to the ground. "So, Zargon, what brings you to beautiful Japan mate?"
Momo was confused. What kind of name is Zargon? It definitely is from outside Japon. But where?
The skin of Zargon started to break, reveling a humanoid creature with red skin, small horns and three lizard tails. "Izuku... look, I am just like you... running away."
Izuku rolled his eyes as Momo was shell-shocked by what she saw. That isn't a quirk. At least not one that she knows about.
"Maybe but with a difference mate. I don't creep 'round alleyways to consume people."
"Please... I don't want Targon to find me..." Zargon begged and Izuku nodded.
"And he won't." He said as he threw his smoke to him and instantly caught fire. Izuku turned to the direction where Momo was watching. "And you, come follow me." He then turned around and started to walk away and Momo, afraid of what just happened decided to obey.
*Hellblazer P.I.*
"How much did you see?" Izuku asked as he leaned on his chair, smoke in his mouth and in fron't of him, Momo. In the couch, Eri watched curious on what happened.
"N-Not much."
"How much?" Izuku asked again and Momo gulped.
"The end?" She said unsure and Izuku snapped his tongue.
"Look, what you saw, is something that we like to keep in secret most of the time."
"Murder?" Momo asked and Izuku rolled his eyes.
"We call it exorcisms or purification." Eri said and Momo blinked.
"Like the movie?"
"We also do that. But it is more like kill demons." Izuku explained briefly and Momo glared at him.
"You expect me to believe that, that... thing was a demon?" She asked and Izuku nodded.
"Well what you want to hear? That it was a lad ready to rape some girls? That's how these things like to play. They hide as humans, and do things that some of them do. You follow me?" Izuku asked and Momo bit her lip not really knowing what to say.
"Then what are you? If those things are demons and you kill them, what makes you then?" Momo asked and Izuku shrugged.
"I consider myself an occult detective. I am the guy you call when something weird happens and neither heroes or the cops know how to deal with it." Izuku said as he leaned on the chair "Look, I can care less if you believe me or not. But what you saw there was real. And sadly, there aren't too many people in the world willing or capable to deal with them."
Momo looked to the ground, absorbing the information she was given. It all sounded so... fake. But if he was saying the truth, then there must be more, and this 'Targon' that the demon mentioned must be a powerful one...
"Let's make a deal." Momo said and Izuku raised a brow.
"'Bout?"
"I want to become a Hero to help people. And you want to benefit from all the chaos that demons make."
"That's not exactly true, but continue."
"So, I am willing to pay for classes on demons. You as my teacher of course."
Izuku looked at her with a deadpan look and so did Eri. "Why in the bloody hell would I accept that? I mean, it must be a ridiculous amount of money for me to accept such stupid-" Momo handed him a slip of paper with a number on it. Izuku eyed the paper before stuffing it in his jacket. "Come tomorrow after school and don't be late. Now leave, I have a class to prepare."
Momo smiled and nodded and left the office. Izuku leaned his feet on the table as he lighted a smoke "Bloody hell..."
"Why did you accept?" Eri asked and Izuku closed his eyes.
"A life lesson Eri; money talks. But this girl's money screamed and demanded."
Eri tilted her head confused by what her teacher and caretaker meant by that.
