When Midoriya woke up the events that unfolded last night ran through his head. He could still taste the sweetness of the villains blood. He could still feel the rush of that fight, and the pride he felt not only for saving a woman but beating a villain and in just one punch. He never thought he would be strong enough for that in his wildest dreams. He was on a high of emotions, and as soon as that high hit it left just as fast when he realized what he had done. He lost control. He hurt somebody, not only did he hurt them he bit them and drank from them. He doesn't even know if he was caught on camera. The thought terrifies him. He's not scared of villains. He's not scared of Bakugou. He's not scared of death. The only thing he fears is disappointing his mother, the one person who has always been there for him. His body feels like it's on autopilot while his mind flies ahead. He manages to register that he has school today. He is eating breakfast while his mom watches the news. He doesn't listen to most of it but one thing grabs his attention.
"A new vigilante has appeared in Mustafa. The perpetrator stopped a robbery last night around 9 o'clock. We have footage of the fight all though it doesn't tell us much." says the reporter.
The screen shows the alleyway where midoriya fought the villain. The villain is standing over the woman yelling when he is suddenly pulled to the side by some invisible force. After a pause the woman gets up and runs. The villain swings his knife towards seemingly open air and is flung to the other side of the alley. There is a brief pause before the villains unconscious body rustles and his shoulder looks like it gets torn open while blood rises and disappears.
'I activated my incognito mode thing without realising. Actually incognito mode is a good name for that I'll stick with it.' thinks Midoriya.
"While the vigilante doesn't show up on cameras the woman who was attacked say and heard the vigilante." says the reporter.
The screen changes to a different reporter outside of the alleyway with the girl Izuku saved.
"Can you tell us what happened?" asks the reporter.
"I was walking home from my friends house and the villain asked if I needed an escort home. I told him I would be fine by myself. I turned and kept walking when I heard him step towards me. I turned around and saw him trying to push me which he succeeded in and screamed as he knocked me over. He told me to give him my wallet. I told him no and he started to kick me. He yelled something about giving him what he wants. Then I noticed he wasn't standing over me. I looked up and say the vigilante grabbing him and pulling him off of me. The villain pulled out a knife and the vigilante yelled, 'run' so I did. As I was running I saw the vigilante step back and dodge the villains knife and then he sent him to the other side of the alley with one punch." says the woman while doing a punching movement to demonstrate.
"Can you describe the vigilante?" asks the reporter.
"Um, yeah. He was kinda short." says the woman.
'Rude' thinks Midoriya.
"He had red eyes. They were like a cats with the slit and how angular they were. I couldn't get that good of a view because it was dark and I was on the ground or running away." says the woman.
"If you could say one thing to the vigilante what would it be?" asks the Reporter.
"I would have to say thanks for saving me." says the woman.
"Hey Izuku." says Inko.
"Yeah, mom." says Izuku.
"If you ever see something like that run away. Okay?" asks Inko.
"Of course. That would be scary and dangerous." says Izuku.
"Well as long as you understand then were good. Also you should be getting ready for school not looking at the T.V." says Inko.
"Oh right. I'll get back to that." replies Izuku.
Izuku goes through the rest of his routine and wonders if Ruby has seen the news yet. Although he's pretty sure she will text him when she does. Izuku grabs his bag and begins the walk to school. As he walks through the school yard he makes sure to keep his head up high. He would normally keep his head down and try to avoid any attention. This isn't to say that he wants attention he just wants to let people know that he took the worst the villain who beat Bakugou could do and get up and keep moving. As he walked to his first period class he heard people talking about him. But he didn't care anymore. If they have something to say they can say it to his face and if they won't say it to his face then he won't listen to the cowards. He makes his way to class and actually makes eye contact with students and for the first time in years he isn't the one shying away from contact. He makes it to his first period and sees Bakugou glare at him as soon as he enters the room.
"Deku." growls Bakugou.
"Bakugou." replies Izuku.
"Hey what happened to you calling him Kachan?" asks one of the students towards the back of the class.
"I'm coming to realize that he doesn't deserve it." says Izuku.
"The fuck do you mean I don't deserve it." says Bakugou.
"I mean, nicknames are reserved for friends and your not my friend." says Izuku.
"Oh you fight and lose to one villain and you think you're hot shit." says Bakugou.
"No I saved you from one villain and I don't need you to tell me who or what I am. That doesn't even mention that you lost to the villain too." says Izuku.
"What was that?" asks Bakugou menacingly.
"I said, ' you lost too'." says Izuku.
"I'll fucking kill you." says Bakugou lividly.
"Go right ahead." says Izuku smoothly.
Not only do these words stun Bakugou they stun the entire class who happens to be shocked silent.
"Well, I've asked." says Izuku, " Are you going to do it or not."
Bakugou just continues to stand there glaring at Izuku. Izuku grabs Bakugou's hand and guides it to his own chest and firmly places Bakugou's hand over his unbeating heart.
"You're quirk is explosion. It lets you shoot explosions out of your hand. They hit with enough force to break through boulders and even metals. They could easily blow a hole in my chest, so as I said earlier, ' Go right ahead'." says Izuku.
Bakugou finally manages to say something, " Are you fucking insane?"
"No, I know that you won't kill me. The reasons being you want to be a hero, I saved you, this isn't a good place for a murder, and even if you did kill me I wouldn't care." says Midoriya before leaning closer and whispering, " Maybe I should pray for a quirk in the next life and take a swan dive off a roof."
Bakugou is silenced by Midoriya for a third time since the sludge incident and Izuku walks back to his seat making sure to hold eye contact with anybody who looks at him until they become uncomfortable and look away. Midoriya takes his seat near the back and plugs his phone into the outlet so that he could use his phone in class. He wasn't that concerned with how the classes went he made sure to study ahead because the teachers didn't like helping him, because of all of his studying he had a strong grasp of all of the concepts he would need to know for the rest of the year. He stays on his phone looking for someway to get rid of the garbage at Dagobah beach. He doesn't notice his teacher start his class and he doesn't notice the first couple of times the teacher tries to get his attention. Until the teacher tries to use his stretchy arm quirk to whack him and tilts his head to the side out of pure instinct and looks up to meet the teachers gaze.
"Can I help you" asks Izuku.
"Can you share with the class what you find so interesting." asks the teacher.
"Oh, it's just that the leader of the Mustafa school board has a quirkless child and if he learned how you treat the quirkless children that you teach he would probably fire you. Especially since you just tried to hit me. Actually that might lead to an arrest. So if you don't want that horrible scenario to be your life I would strongly suggest letting me use my phone on class." says Izuku.
"Can you pass without paying attention?" asks the teacher who is now very clearly worried.
"Are you willing to fail me?" says Izuku with a smirk.
"Um… No." says the teacher.
"Good, also I actually studied ahead through the end of the year because I know you wouldn't take the time out of the day to help me like you would any other student." says Midoriya.
"That's good to hear." says the teacher.
"Oh, also if I'm not here mark me as present unless I say otherwise." says Midoriya.
"What if your other teachers say something?" asks the teacher.
"I'm gonna have this talk with the rest of them, so don't worry." says Midoriya.
Him having this talk with the rest of the teachers went well. He also blackmailed some students into not reporting him by threatening to talk to high schools about their bullying. It all went incredibly well and he had managed to blackmail his entire grade by lunch. He always was smart but most people didn't know how smart. He spent the rest of his day finding a place to take all of the garbage at the beach and saw something about Hatsume Laboratories needing any sort of electronics or metal for the creation of something he didn't really read he was just excited to sell it. He knew getting gear for vigilantism wouldn't be cheap. He also considered selling all of his hero merchandise and decided to sell it. He felt if he sold the motorcycle as a vehicle instead of scrap he could get more for it. He decided to text Hatsume and talk about selling scrap.
Midoriya: Hey I saw your post about needing metal and electronics.
He wasn't expecting a fast reply but he got one immediately.
Hatsume: Yeah I will buy for 10 yen per pound.
Midoriya: How many pounds are you willing to buy?
Hatsume: Google my net worth.
Izuku didn't know where this was going but was surprised to find that the Hatsume family is a family of the greatest designers for support gear in the hero industry and she happens to be one of the richest people on the planet.
Midoriya: I'm assuming you can pay for everything I have to give you.
Hatsume: You're right.
Midoriya: Where should we meet to discuss.
Hatsume: I don't want to leave my lab so I want you to call me.
"Excuse me. I have a call to make." says Izuku.
"Take your time." says the rightfully scared teacher.
Midoriya leaves class and calls hatsume, it rings for a second or two and then she picks up.
"Hey." says Hatsume.
"Hi." says Izuku.
"Have you heard of Dagobah park?" asks Izuku.
"You're trying to sell me the garbage. It's not yours to sell" says Hatsume.
"You're right. I just assume you were like your parents and figured I needed to get your attention before we could talk about anything. What I really wanted was to offer someone with super strength to help you move the garbage because I'm assuming if you had the power to get all of that you would have already." says Izuku.
"I'm listening." says Hatsume.
"How about I move all of the scrap into your trucks and unload at your warehouse and I get 8 yen per pound instead of 10." says Izuku.
"The highest I'll go is 5." says Hatsume.
" should we meet?" asks Izuku.
"Today." says Hatsume.
"What time?" asks Izuku.
"ASAP" says Hatsume.
"Okay but I can't always show up." says Izuku.
Izuku pops his head back into the class and tells his last period teacher that he's leaving. The teacher acts like he doesn't care what he does but Izuku can see the fear in his eyes. Izuku begins to leave the school but on his way out his principal asks where he's going and the principal gets blackmailed too.
'The amount of people I've blackmailed today is so high it's kind of funny.' thinks Izuku.
Izuku got down to the beach to see a big white truck with a trailer like the kind you can get at U-haul. He assumed that is where Hatsume was so he went and checked the car and found no one there. He hears some rustling behind him and sees a girl with pink hair behind him fiddling with some of the garbage on the beach.
"Hey." says Izuku.
"Oh Hi. Are you the strength guy?" asks Hatsume.
"Yeah, and my name is Midoriya." says Izuku.
"Okay Midoriya let's get started on this and then I can make some babies. Hey do you want to make some babies with me?" asks Hatsume.
Midoriya looks at her for a couple of seconds before so eloquently saying, "Um...sure."
"This is one of my favorit babies." says Hatsume as she lifts a metal orb the size of a baseball out of her pocket.
"Oh. you call your inventions babies." says Izuku.
"Yes I do." says Hatsume completely missing Izuku's dilema.
"Well let's get to work." says Hatsume.
"Sure." says Izuku.
Midoriya and Hatsume spent a little under two weeks clearing the beach with Midoriya lifting the heavy things and Hatsume lifting the things that don't require super strength. It was sort of a workout for Izuku and Hatsume was just excited to build more of her babies. Over the time Midoriya and Hatsume spent clearing the beach they both realized that the other was incredibly intelligent with all of Izuku's ideas on bettering quirks and Hatsume's technical genius they made a good team. Izuku also learned that hatsume was a little bit eccentric. He also noticed that she was always hyper and very dedicated. He knew dedication is important but he went out of his way to make sure she took breaks because he didn't think she had slept for a couple of days. Izuku made sure to attend some classes just to make sure he knew what they were doing. While Midoriya was clearing the beach he found somebody willing to buy his entire All Might collection which was worth a lot more than he had imagined because Midoriya feels rich now. The guy that bought all of it sent a blonde kid names Mirio to pick it up for seemed like a nice guy. He also managed to sell all of the other pieces in his hero merchandise collection. He doesn't hate heroes but he finds it hard not to lose faith when you fought the villain they were too scared to fight. Eventually Midoriya had to get around to selling that motorcycle. He got a good offer from a man named Giran. They agreed to meet soon and work out a price. When Midoriya got the address for this meeting he was a little skeptical as it was in the shitty part of town. He then realized that if he was going to be a vigilante he would need to patrol where heroes didn't. He knew the bad parts of town were the place for him to be. That is how Izuku is finding himself walking through the slums of mustafa under the dead of night under the pretext of studying at the library to make it look like he was staying ahead of his classes like he always does. Midoriya gets odd looks carrying a motorcycle on his back and people look at it as if they want to steal it. Thought they decide not to because they believe it's broken, because if it worked why would he carry it. He finally finds the address for the place and he thinks it looks kind of shitty with all of the broken windows and damaged paint but he knows it's the right place because the sign outfront says Giran's. He stepped into the building to see that it wasn't as bad as it looked. It was only one room as the walls had been torn out. It had a desk with two monitors. Several drawers off to the side and a safe behind the desk. Midoriya could smell air coming from somewhere so he registered that there is a secret back way out. He sees a sleazy man in a tacky purple suit behind the counter smoking a cigar.
"You must be Giran." says Midoriya.
"You must be the vigilante." says Giran.
Authors note
I think this chapter has been productive for moving the story forwards. It showed him getting funding for his work. It shows him meeting an information broker who can point him towards villains to take to the police. I'm thinking about having Giran trade Midoriya's new motorcycle for an old but dependable car that was used for street racing. I also think that Giran could get Midoriya an apartment of his own so that he can distance his mother from vigilantism.
Sparkboygaming: I'm not sure if I'm gonna pair Izuku and Ochako. I think they make a cute couple and all that but if I plan on having Toga in the story and have him get close to Toga I might want to ship them. Right Now I'm thinking of having them in a relation ship for a while but breaking it off before Izuku gets into U.A.
Amadeus Amadeus: I understand what you are saying but when I was talking about having Midoriya omit certain things from his mother I meant being a vampire and not a vigilante. For the part with Izuku meeting Hatsume I think it will be so she recognizes him when they get into U.A. I don't think I will have her supply him or learn that he was a vigilante until they go to school together. I think that Giran is a great choice for gear not only because he has access to that but because he has access to villians and there whereabouts and can tell Midoriya. You're right about most people not knowing about vampiric weaknesses, but I have a plan for somebody who will fight him while knowing about his weaknesses. I would say more but I don't want to spoil that. I think it might be my best idea for the series so far.
Atomicdragon59: I plan on using Midoriya's senses to help him locate villains to detain. So in a sense he will be like the bloodhound of a vigilante that you described.
Yeetboi76: Yeah I want Midoriya to stop being a vigilante when joining U.A. but I might change that depending on this idea I'm debating.
