Chapter Four

"There are times in life when you have to distance yourself from those you love, because you love them." C.C

Flashback

"I don't understand, you told me you both promised that you would spend the entire day with me, so why, why do you have to leave?"

The long strand of hair which protruded from the head of Mrs Hikigaya now bounced slightly as she moved her body down to look her son in the eyes. Sadly she now explained to him "I know my dear and I am sorry that we will have to leave you on your birthday. But there is someone very bad nearby a villain and he won't stop until he has hurt a lot of people. You're angry I understand, this is the first time we've taken you out on your Birthday and well this happened."

Just after she finished saying this, the entire ground began to tremble slightly and Mr Hikigaya added "We'll be back before you know it. You're a big boy stay right here and we'll be back I swear it."

Young Hachiman managed to force a smile now even though he was angry, even though his parents were not on duty. Even though they were meant to spend this entire day with him and no one else, they had stop that villain. Not to mention it was the first Birthday since Komachi was born that they had remembered to do so. But Hachiman was more mature than most, after all the last time they had celebrated his birth. Somehow his own Mother had gotten the spelling of his name wrong!

So bravely he told her "I'll stay right here until you come back."

Smiling his Mother informed him "Then I shall once more become 'Faith' and your Father shall again be 'Altruism'."

Of course they had their Hero costumes under their regular clothes. They were prepared for this no doubt or rather they were always ready to spring into action. There Hero Names told everyone who they were and what they believed in. But yet Hachiman just wished they would spend just a little more time with him if that wasn't too selfish of him to desire.

As his parents dashed of to stop this villain, Hachiman began to run after them. Sure he was far slower and sure he had no chance of catching up to. But he at least wanted to see it, he wanted to see his parents in action. How far had he run, had he come to the right place, was this stupid?

All of those thoughts were in his head as he looked for where his parents could be. Then he spotted them they were in front of some villain who had to be powerful. But something was wrong, his parents were barely able to stand on their feet. The voice he heard, the cold condescending voice of an utter monster said "Well this isn't the Hero I intended to trap. But I would see some 'do gooders' have gone and ruined it. I have no interest in you and your quirks are garbage, get lost and I might let you live. Go, go and call All Might and tell him that I All For One am here for him now!"

Rising to his feet, electric currents running up and down from his body Altruism managed to state "No, never I will go on until the end. I shall fight on no matter what, I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!"

A sudden burst came from under Altruism feet, he propelled himself forward at the same time Faith managed to force herself back up to and seemingly broke something that was around her before jumping up to attack as well. Hachiman could feel it, the excitement, the Villain had spoken too soon about them. His Mother and Father, Faith and Altruism were going to comeback and kick his ass! After all that is what Heroes do right, they save the day don't they?

But instead of fear or surprise of any great variety, all the Villain, All for One did was raise an eyebrow before saying "So while your quirks are nothing special it is how you use them that makes them special, for that you have my respect."

Though it was ever so slight, there was a sudden shift in the tone now as he said "But still this his heroic nonsense!"

A sudden flash occurred right as Altruism and Faith were about to collide with this All for One. A flash a loud bang and some force which knocked Hachiman off his feet. That was the last time he saw his parents faces for after he opened his eyes, all he saw was a bloody still breathing mess that was his parents. He could feel it, anger at his parents for what just occurred, but such anger did not last, no instead that anger turned to the one who killed them.

Present

A single tear rolled out of the right eye of Hachiman Hikigaya's face and down his cheek. Yet after all these years it was as clear as day to him and still brought a tear to his eye. But none of that was clear to the two in the room with him, All Might and Mr Principal. The latter who asked "Are you alright Mr Hikigaya?"

Looking up now with a blank emotionless face bar for the tear that had fallen from his eye, Hachiman lied saying "I am fine, I'm always fine."

Yeah he was not fooling either of the two Pro Heroes in the room. But both knew better than to press this matter, they would get nothing from Hachiman if he did so. That and he had brought an important bit of information to their attention, though what they would do with it was yet to be seen. Despite this though, All Might had to ask one thing which was "Mr Hikigaya, why do you know something like this. What do you intend to do if what you said is true?"

"What do you intend to do if it is true?"

Hachiman just reversed the question back onto All Might, except unlike All Might's question his was rhetorical and meant to deflect rather than investigate. Nezu picked up on this while All Might was left to consider the very real possibility of confronting his arch nemesis again. Suddenly a ring tone was heard "A Phone Call is Here, A Phone Call is Here!"

All Might went to check for his phone to realise that he was not buzzing and that it was either Nezu's or Hachiman's. The latter confirmed it was his by saying "Sorry I've go to check who that."

Taking out his All Might Plus Ultra California Smash Smart Phone Hachiman looked at the number and said "Apologies I've got to take this."

Standing up and going outside he left the room leaving both Nezu and All Might stunned. He had answered that phone call without any embarrassment. Despite it looking like All Might's head and the ringtone being All Might's voice. It was a little awkward because neither of the two men had taken Hikigaya for being a fan of All Might. But Nezu now gave a cough before stating "Well at least we learned one thing valuable about him. He appears to be a die hard fan of yours."

All Might just gave a nod while Nezu continued "Now unless my eyes deceive me. That was the All Might Plus Ultra California Smash Smart Phone. If I am also correct that was sold exclusively in America with what 150 copies ever made. Not to mention he's got the Golden Age Costume Phone Protector. They haven't sold that since your silver age costume? It seems that I totally misjudged him, he's a closet All Might Fan Boy, It might be unhealthy but then again, it might not."

There was a notable pause as Nezu took in a deep breath before stating "After all he saw you defeat All for One."

With Hachiman

Outside the room a stern female voice spoke to him over the phone "You're needed at the main office in two hours."

The voice on the other end of the phone it belonged to an old lady, that old lady. Her tone was both direct as well no nonsense. The little details that she had not given any more instructions meant that she was not going to. Which in turn meant he was supposed to just go there as himself, how rather unusual for them. But at this moment Hachiman was rather at ease due to having just spoken to All Might so he said "Sorry I can't here you over All Might being here."

Hanging up the phone he knew he was going to be at the Hero Public Safety Commission Main Office Branch. If he'd hazard a guess it would more than likely have to do with his comments this morning about Earserhead. She knew that he'd come, she also knew that he was more than likely still at U.A and would need to wrap things up here quickly. So with that in mind he turned around and went back into the room to draw a close on whatever they were discussing.

Upon entering the Room Mr Principal asked Hachiman "Nothing serious I hope?"

With a shrug Hachiman said "Well it sounded like it, but well there's no nice way of putting it. I can be an asshole over the phone so I hung up and came back in here. I'll deal with that later, so where were we? I believe it was the topic of what if Mr All for One is alive and what would you do about it?"

All Might now shifted uncomfortably but then he said without a smile this time "I'll defeat him again, that is all to it."

Judging the words of the Number One Hero, Hachiman gave a nod and saying "Well I guess that we all have to hope so. If not the entire of Japan, no the entire of the World may be in some serious trouble. It's good to know you're here."

The smile returned to the face of All Might who said "I am glad that you believe in my Young Hikigaya. I'll continue to work hard so that I may be a worthy teacher for your younger sister!"

Hachiman gave a nod before saying "Well if that is all, I guess I will have to be off. If not then we'll have to finish it another time. I've got somewhere to be and only two hours to be there in so-."

Nezu gave a polite nod before saying "Of course, you have given us much to ponder Mr Hikigaya and while I would like to speak more. Time moves forward and both of us along with All Might have things we need to do."

With a polite bow as appropriate of a young man, Hachiman said to Nezu "Then you have my Thanks Mr Principal."

Outside

As Hachiman was leaving U.A the press were on him like a hound dog at an intruder. They were asking all sorts of questions when which he did not answer to. Fortunately his unassuming nature meant the moment he side stepped among the reporters they had no idea where he was. So he was able to calmly walk away, except one person caught his eye. The eeriness of this man in a hood whose face seemed to look like he had no seen enough son and those red eyes.

He had seen at least one of them before, in fact the name Shigaraki came to mind. The guy who had a plan to kill All Might, but his pitch was 'We have a plan to kill All Might you in?"

It was not the best pitch for an evil plan, in fact it was pretty crappy which made Hachiman doubt his and those with him. But his ability to meld into the media without those blasted nosey folks noticing is either a credit to his own skills or a detriment to the ability of the media. Considering that Hachiman was just among them but had given them the slip, it was more the latter of the two than the former.

But that begged the question, just what was he doing here and what did he plan to do? His meeting could wait a bit, after all if this Villain did have a serious plan to kill All Might. Then he should stick around in order to what the hell this guy planned to do. But of course if something did happen he couldn't just walk back into U.A so it would have to observe then leave. But well what he saw next did surprise him, with all the hustle and bustle of the media presence.

Shigaraki walked to the gate and touched it, he touched it with his entire hand. No not his entire hand, just his fingers and now the gate, a hole began to form within it. Whatever it was, it was some type of disintegration quirk, which meant that, Shigaraki was dangerous no matter how stupid he would seem. That was not a good thing, it meant he could in theory just walk up to All Might and kill him.

His read on the guy must have been wrong, that or he is an idiot, but one with power. Which Hachiman knew was the worst kind of idiot. At first the hole was subtle, but no doubt in time it would grow, Shigaraki seems not to be more than just an idiot. But of course there was always the chance he was following the plan of someone else, though Hachiman was unsure if that would make him feel any better.

The Media had yet to notice the hole yet for some reason, perhaps because they weren't looking for it. Shigaraki himself had taken a step back from the gate now as the media seemed to spread out once more looking for another way into U.A Academy. He'd have to stay here longer if he wished to see and try and stop whatever it was that was about to happen, though any intruder into U.A would be met with as if they were a hostile.

Yet he wished to remain just in case, Komachi was inside and she might be in danger if someone snuck in with the press. If Shigaraki had backup, Hachiman was not sure, which meant they were on standby or they were here for something other than killing All Might. It could be that this was the first stage in their plan, to kill All Might?

But time was one thing he did not have as his phone vibrated and the text told him "Arrive as soon as possible", which was something he had to do now. Well if anything he would report this and snap a photo of Shigaraki for good measure.

With All Might

All Might now looked down at his hands before looking back to Nezu "If only I had been faster, if only I had been ready. To think that the son of Altruism and Faith would grow up like that. But even after all these years there is a little light left in him. For that I am grateful."

Nezu blinked in response to the Number One Hero's words before asking "Whatever do you mean by that?"

Pausing no to consider his own words carefully, All Might or rather at this point Toshinori Yagi sighed. What did he mean it was not easier for him to find the right words. Then again it was never easy for him to find the words he needed to say. Mulling it over in his head he decided on what to say, though he was not confident in his choice of words. Toshinori took in a deep breath before stating "I believe that while Hachiman Hikigaya here has a very cynical view just about everything. It is also my belief that somewhere inside of him remains just a small spark of hope."

Mr Principal gave a nod, though that did not mean he agreed with what Toshinori was saying and rather he understood what he was being told. Nezu in turn shared some of his findings "Though normally I would not wish to admit it. I could not really get a read on the young man. Less void more blank, like it was intentionally so, a blank cipher perhaps?"

Toshinori was a little confused by that statement and with his keen intellect Nezu was able to deduce that from a glance. So he elaborated further by saying "I mean he will appear to be whatever we want to see him as. Had I not known what to look for, he would have gotten it past me. Still, a blank cipher isn't much to go on. Either he is self taught or he has been trained for this. I am unsure which of the two is more frightening as a whole?"

Looking now at Toshinori, Nezu came to the conclusion that he might have gone a little too far with that explanation. He had clearly lost the Number One Hero in a sea of words. So now trying to surmised it as best he could without losing context or relevance of certain. "All Might, it is safe to say he's a lot more than he makes himself out to be."

Hero Public Safety Offices

The elderly looking President of the Hero Public Safety Commission raised an eyebrow at the images Hachiman was showing here. She had shown no reaction to the phone itself but instead now after handing the phone back to Hachiman, she asked him "Are you sure it is the same person, they might be similar but they can also be different?"

Hachiman in response to her words paused before saying "If it is, they have the same hair, the same eyes and the same skin tone as far as I can see. If his work is disintegration, via his hand or five fingers touching someone. It would explain why he had a hand on his face for a mask."

With a heavy sigh the elderly lady asked him "When it was reported, the agent who did it seemed to believe it was of little to no actual threat. In fact since we're alone I am free to say, when you reported it, you did so out of protocol. So if you did not believe it was a threat then, what makes you think that it is one now?"

Sighing in return Hachiman knew that his own dismissal of that Shigaraki and whatever the hell is plan is would bite him in the ass. Well he knew as soon as he saw that said hand wearing fool was actual a threat, but no use crying over spilt milk. So now he delivered a line which was right out of a book "The situation at first I deemed ludicrous and out of the question. There plan was never revealed and they just through a hook at me. But this new development has caused me to reconsider my evaluation of Shigaraki. I don't believe he is the leader, but he might have a competent backer."

The President of the Hero Public Safety Commission let his words hang in the air for a minute before she got an update. Hachiman did not see what it was she was looking at, but her data pad caused her to close her eyes and sigh yet again. Her eyes now locked with Hachiman's before she turned her data pad around tapped it revealing the breaking news. It would appear that the press were now inside U.A due to a massive hole that was made in the gate.

Speaking plainly the President told him "These developments cannot be ignored. Your task is clear, infiltrate and ensure that any casualties are kept to a minimum or zero if possible. You'll be our eyes and ears there, act within reason and don't get caught. But most of all do not let them do anything that could compromise All Might. He is the Number One Hero, but if they are able to use the Students against him, then I am unsure how a battle would play out."

Raising an eyebrow of his own Hachiman queried "You don't have faith in All Might to handle this?"

Shaking her head the President of the Hero Public Safety Commission informed him "I trust that All Might will rise above the challenges that he has to face. I don't trust those around him to do the same."

Even though that didn't entirely answer his question, Hachiman gave a nod then said "I I'll prepare to try and make contact as soon as I can then. With your permission I will leave to do so at once."

In his mind at least, there conversation was over, it was done. He now had a mission to complete and later payment to collect. But the President spoke now with more authority in her voice when she said "I don't recall giving you permission to leave just yet."

Hachiman wanted to sigh, but seeing as he had done enough of that for now he just asked "May I ask why?"

Clearing her throat the elderly President stated "Given the sudden increase of villain activity and the presence of All Might. It would prudent to have a Hero alias you can act out some missions as. Gear has been selected as per your own talents and you can choose them and your hero name. Though it would also be prudent to distance your Hero Persona from the Black Reaper as per the Urban Myths dub you."

This was more work and while that meant more pay normally, this type of work was a drag. If Hachiman had wished to become a hero he would have found some way to do it. The life he had now, himself being barely in the public eye and whatever spotlight he attracted was due to Rumi. It was not the life of a Hero, for a Hero was always in the public eye and while there are those who are able to hide themselves from it, not all of them can.

Being scrutinised for every little action that you took, that was not the life Hachiman wanted. Not that he couldn't deal with it, just that he'd rather not have to deal with it. But the President of the Hero Public Safety Commission was not going to give him a choice on that matter. With a reluctant nod Hachiman told her "Fine, I'll do it."

Later

The paper work, the equipment, had all been filled out. It was a rather boring task, but Hachiman had done it because it clearly had to be done. Everything had been fine with his paper work, well almost everything, except for his Hero Name. All of the own names he had put down had been rejected and sitting in front of the President as she looked over them with a disapproving eye.

Shaking her head and sighing she said "I am not sure if you are trying to mess with us or if you're serious?"

Speaking up in his own defence Hachiman stated "I am being utterly serious when I made those suggestions."

Raising an eyebrow in her response she asked "Is that so, let me read this first one to you." If her tone indicated anything, it was she did not believe him. Pulling out a document from the file in front of her she began to read it.

"Ah yes let's see Baba Yaga Hero John Wick. Now if I am not mistaken that is a Movie character, who also happens to be an assassin who killed more than a dozen people over his dog and car?" It wasn't a question Hachiman needed to answer. All that she said was true and quite frankly Hachiman thought that even though the movie belonged in a museum. John Wick was rather badass to murder three men in a bar with a pencil.

Giving a shrug all he said in response "I thought it will be cool. It is not like most people here in Japan would know John Wick any way?"

The Hero Public Safety Commission President firmly stated "Denined" before she pulled out another document which she began to read. "This one is cult antique as they say. Creed Hero Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The protagonist of the Second Assassins Creed Game and few others."

Hachiman scowled in annoyance he thought that at least would have gotten through. Noticing this the President asked him "What did you believe that you could slip such an obviously significant name by me? You've worked here long enough to know that we are very thorough when we do our research."

Too well for Hachiman's liking who slyly commented under his breath "Too well for mundane matters like what I want my Hero name to be. But not well enough for some other matters like the 'Trigger Incidents' it would seem."

As if sensing his words she turned her gaze from her papers towards him, but albeit for a different reason. "Now this one I think wouldn't be that bad, but still. Drell Hero Thane Krios, I can't be sure if you took this as a joke or if you're serious about all of this. Kinda like the conclusion to the trilogy and the failed reboot, such a disappointment."

The scowl on Hachiman's face remained as he thought "Damn woman is too observant for her own good. No it is not observation that she's using. She's just using the information that has been gathered for her, still it's a pain in the ass."

Coughing now to call Hachiman's attention back on her the President read out another one of his Hero Names. "Let see this one at first I thought was passable, Phantom Hero Zwei Requiem. But then I learned of it's origin which makes it less passable. Not to mention you have an utter rip which is Sinful Hero Casshern which is utterly out of the question. But I find I have to ask, just where on earth do you find all of these things that are at around two centuries all?"

Giving a cough of his own, Hachiman now said to her two words. Words that implied he was not comfortable talking about how he came across these characters. "No comment."

Instead of reading out more about things like that she just read him his suggestions "Static Hero BK-201, Anti Hero Deadpool, Striking Snake Hero Gin, Sacrifice Hero Itatchi, Lone Wolf Hero Bear, Unlucky Hero Touma, Joking Hero the Joker."

Sighing deeply she now came to the final Hero Name he had suggested "And this one, the last one, stood out the most was Normal Hero All Might spelled backwards."

That was not right and Hachiman knew it saying "It was not that, I believe it was Normal Hero Tghim Lla."

Plainly the Presdient informed him "I refuse to say whatever that was that you just said. So those names are out of the question. Most of them had to do with Assassins and excessive violence, not to mention some of them have to be jokes and you know it.

But something was wrong, there was still one more Hero Name she had not said and this one was actually a Joke. In fact it was actually the only real joke he had put on the list. All the other Hero names he would be fine with, except this one. Which clearly had to be the document that the President of the Hero Public Safety Commission was reading right now.

Now placing a stamp on said document the President sighed sadly before stating "It is a sad day when Nameless Hero, The Hero Without a Name. Is a reasonable Hero name even though is like a sentence, so since we don't have time to stall any longer, I've given this one my stamp of approval. Your missions will be given out systematically, though they should not interfere with your other mission."

While Hachiman watched on in horror she put away his new Official Hero Documents that he never asked for, away in her draw. But as she did that she pulled out another file before handing it to him "This assignment though will not require your Hero Persona. This one is what your next set of orders are and what to do after them, don't fail us."

Camino Ward

Arriving in front of the door the Black Reaper as the public dubbed him now entered the premises of a certain bar. On the inside the gas man and the hand wearing man were seated. Both looked over to him as he entered. Hand wearing Shigaraki was the first of the two to speak saying "Oh ho ho, look who crawled out of the dirt beneath our feet!"

Kurogiri on the other hand despite being made of gas and not having a face was far more personable and asked "I take it that our little display today that we can breach U.A security and that we actually have a plan peaked your interests. No let me rephrased that showed you we do have a plan."

Shigarak clearly was about to speak up and tell Kurogiri to let it go and that they did not need this loser with them. But the gas man chose to speak over the former stating "We're still hiring and no doubt you'll be an asset in our plan."

Speaking only what he needed to the Black Reaper informed the two of them "I'll join."

Okay guys how did you like that, what did you think of it
