After stopping a robbery with Dabi and learning more about him the two began to grow closer. They would hang out and drink. Sometimes they would talk about themselves and sometimes they would talk about random things they have seen. Izuku has been busying himself writing his song and hunting down all the villains Giran wanted out of his way. It's been several weeks since the bank robbery with Izuku going out every night people began to fear him. Some villains have spread rumors of him being a demon or some sort of monster. Izuku chuckles to himself when he thinks about it. Dabi and Izuku are currently in the living room drinking.
"Hey." says Dabi.
"Hey." replies Izuku.
"So like… you're a vampire right? Like i'm not crazy you have to be a vampire." says Dabi.
"Wait. How did you figure it out?" asks Izuku.
"It's sort of obvious." says Dabi.
"Okay. I get that, But how do you know what a vampire is? Everybody forgot about us when quirks started showing up." says Izuku.
"My mom like pre quirk literature and she had access to dad's credit card so she bought a lot of books. She liked the idea of a monster being a good person. She thought it was poetic." says Dabi.
"It's a little poetic. But I don't think monsters can be good people." says Izuku.
"Well what about you? You're a good person." says Dabi.
"I don't really feel like one. I hate thinking about drinking blood, but when I'm actually doing it I feel amazing. As soon as that amazing feeling wares off I'm left feeling like a monster again." says Izuku.
"That's rough buddy." says Dabi.
"It really do be like that sometimes." says Izuku.
"I've never understood why people say that." says Dabi.
"It helps. Even if it's only a little bit." says Izuku.
"Well, I guess if it works for you." says Dabi.
"It does most of the time." says Izuku.
"I'm gonna be honest with you." says Dabi, "I don't feel like a good person either."
"I don't think being a good person is all that important. As long as you do the right thing. Or don't do the wrong thing. Being a neutral between bad and good is fine. I still want to feel like a good person though. Although I think I might have to give up on that." says Izuku.
"I wasn't expecting a lesson in philosophy." says Dabi.
"Philosophy is kinda fun." says Izuku.
"Yeah. I guess. I'm actually a fan of the hero killers philosophical ideology." says Dabi.
"I get it. I understand him wanting to change things but I don't agree with his methods and I can't really call myself a fan." says Izuku.
"But you do see his point." says Dabi.
"Oh for sure. He's right just with the wrong approach." says Izuku.
"Do you think any other approach would work better?" asks Dabi.
"I don't know. I'd like to find out someday. Shit Dabi it's getting late I should go do my thing." says Izuku.
"Alright have fun man." says Dabi.
"I always do." says Izuku as he heads outside for a patrol.
Izuku runs around the rooftops looking for a crime to stop. He takes a break to pet a dog he finds before taking to the rooftops once again. He runs around for about an hour looking for something before seeing Eraser Head jumping around. He decides to take a picture and send it to him later. He watches Eraser Head jump down into an alley. He isn't concerned at first but Eraser Head doesn't come out of the alley. He leaps onto a rooftop over looking the alley. He sees Eraser Head on the ground and a man who looks like a ninja with a katana. He sees the man is about to strike Eraser Head and leaps in. He punches the villain in the face and sends him skidding down the alley.
"Get up Eraser." says Izuku.
"I can't. He baited me down here and stabbed me. I think his knife has some sort of paralyzing poison on it." says Aizawa.
"Alright. I'll deal with this." says Izuku.
"No, you need to leave." says Eraser.
"I'll be fine." says Izuku.
Izuku quickly moves his head to the side to avoid a knife that was thrown at him.
"Uhm excuse me for a second Mr. Hero killer Stain sir. I'm trying to talk to my friend." says Izuku.
"Who are you?" asks Stain.
"Oh. I go by ketsuiki. It's nice to meet you my roommates are actually big fans of yours." says Izuku, " Anyways I'm gonna pick this guy up and leave."
"No you're not." says Stain as he rushes forward while swinging his katana.
Izuku pulls out his pistol and catches stains katana between the trigger guard and the muzzle.
"Woah. You're a little quick to the trigger buddy." says Izuku, " Can't we talk about this."
"I will purge the world of all fake heroes." says Stain.
"Well that's nice and all but this guys really cool. I've seen him take bullets for civilians. No cameras around or anything. He's the real deal trust me." says Izuku while kicking at stain who jumps back.
"So he's a true hero? That may be. But for know, why do you fight?" asks Stain.
"Well you stabbed this guy for starters." says Izuku.
"Yes, but why did you help him?" asks Stain.
"What the fuck kinda question is that? You fucking stabbed somebody of course I'm gonna help them. What am I supposed to do? Pull up a chair and watch? Make some fucking popcorn? How much are admissions? I'm not just gonna let someone get stabbed to death you fucking psycho." says Izuku.
"So you help him simply because he needs help?" asks Stain.
"It's not that hard of a concept to grasp." says Izuku.
"You're a little misguided and childish but you can make a fine hero if you keep helping people." says Stain.
"Childish? You stab people who you disagree with and I get that I'm childish but I'm not in highschool yet, you on the other hand do not have an excuse." says Izuku.
"You're an interesting person. I'd like to talk more." says Stain.
"Sure. Just hold on." says Izuku.
Izuku picks up Aizawa and takes him to a nearby rooftop where he'll be safer before jumping back to stain. Aizawa asked him to get away from stain but Izuku declined.
"Alright. I'm sure whatever you used on him wears off eventually so we should go somewhere to talk now." says Izuku.
"Follow me." says Stain before he starts jumping across rooftops.
After about thirty minutes of travelling stain stops at an unused train station.
"This is where I've been camping out." says Stain.
"Nice place." says Izuku, "What did you want to talk about?"
"I started as a vigilante ,so when I find another vigilante I want to know more about them." says Stain.
"Ask whatever you want but I can't guarantee an answer." says Izuku.
"Why be a vigilante?" asks Stain, "You could be a hero and get paid."
"I already said I'm a kid. I'm not old enough to get licensed. Also a while back a classmate of mine was in trouble. Heroes saw this and didn't move in because they didn't have the right quirks. I ran in and saved him. That taught me that heroes aren't perfect. After that I looked further and saw that heroes work where they have the spotlight but don't go where actual crimes take place. I decided to do what they won't. If heroes don't do their job I figured someone had to." says Izuku.
"How do you feel when you're out fighting?" asks Stain.
"I don't know… hungry I guess." says Izuku.
"Please be serious. I'm genuinely curious." says Stain.
"I feel alive. I feel like I can do anything. Every hit I take makes me feel stronger, makes me feel better. I love fighting. Even when I'm losing. I feel terrified but calm like I'm having the time of my life right before it ends." says Izuku.
"I know the feeling. I get excited when heroes dodge my initial attack and keep fighting." says Stain, "One more question."
"Ask away." says Izuku.
"Why do you drink blood when you fight people?" asks Stain.
"It's a part of my quirk. I don't get anything from eating normal food. Blood is the only thing I can actually ingest." says Izuku.
"Are you a vampire?" asks Stain.
"Yeah. You're actually the second person today to figure that out." says Izuku.
"Who was the first?" asks Stain.
"My roommate. Also how do you know about vampires?" asks Izuku.
"My dad was a vampire." says Stain.
"Oh thats cool. So if you're only half vampire what vampiric traits do you have?" asks Izuku.
"Well I age like a human. I eat human foods. My quirk does have something to do with blood so that's a little vampiric. Also I'm more durable than the average human and I heal faster but not as fast as a vampire. If something would take two days to heal I could heal it in a day." says Stain.
"So you mentioned your quirk has something to do with blood. What exactly is your quirk?" asks Izuku.
"I can paralyze somebody if I drink their blood. I also have a long tongue to help me drink." says Stain.
"Do you have fangs?" asks Izuku.
"No. Just the tongue." says Stain.
Izuku swings his tongue out of his mouth before saying, "My tongue is pretty long too."
"That's nice." says Stain.
"Yeah. It helps." replies Izuku.
"Do you want to know what I really brought you here for?" asks Stain.
"Sure." replies Izuku.
"I want to get to know you." says Stain.
"I'm not liking where this is going." says Izuku.
"I mean, I want to fight you." says Stain.
"Oh, that's sounds like fun. I can get behind that idea." says Izuku.
"Wanna step out to the tracks? There's room to move and box cars to hide behind." says Stain.
"Yeah sure." says Izuku.
A couple of minutes later Izuku and Stain were standing on train tracks staring each other down. Stain throws a knife and Izuku ducks to the side. While Izuku was dodging the knife Stain ran in close and swung his sword at Izuku's ribs. Izuku pulls out his pistol and catches the sword on it before swinging at stain who jumped behind some nearby box cars. Izuku runs after him but can't find him so he jumps back to an open area where Stain can't get behind him.
"You know I have super hearing you can't sneak up on me." Izuku calls out.
While Izuku was saying that Stain snuck up behind him using Izuku's voice to drown out his footsteps. He swings at Izuku who whips around and punches Stain in the chest and sends him flying.
"I have super smell too, and I can tell you don't shower." shouts Izuku as he rushes stain.
Stain gets up and swings at Izuku. Izuku slides under the sword and between Stains legs. Stain quickly turns around and swings his sword only to find nothing there. Stain looks up to see Izuku's fist which collides with his face and sends him to the ground. Stain smiles and looks at his knife. The smile instantly leaves his face.
"Kinda clever how you let me hit you to cut my calf. Unfortunately for you I had a knife in my pant leg." says Izuku.
"You only got out of that because you're lucky." says Stain.
"Well yeah, but a big part of every fight is luck. You just gotta know when to be lucky." says Izuku.
Stain rushes Izuku again before he can say anything else. He positions his sword to stab through Izuku's stomach. Instead of dodging Izuku lets the sword go through him and he puts his pistol right over Stains forehead.
"I win." says Izuku.
"You shouldn't have done that." says Stain.
"I can regenerate. I'll be fine." says Izuku.
"This sword is made of silver." says Stain.
"Which means?" asks Izuku.
"You can't heal this normally." says Stain.
"Oh that's not good." says Izuku as he pulls the sword out and hands it to stain.
"You're supposed to leave the blade in to stop bleeding." says Stain.
"Yeah. I know but I don't want you're sword and I want to go home." says Izuku.
"Oh, well before you do that. I'll give you my number." says Stain.
"Wait, why?" asks Izuku.
"In case you ever need help. Also I'm really lonely. Like painfully lonely." says Stain.
"Yeah, I get it. I'll call every once in a while." says Izuku.
"Thank you so much." says Stain.
"It's no problem." says Izuku.
The two exchange numbers and Izuku heads home. As soon as he got him he found Dabi sitting on the couch glaring at him.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" asks Izuku.
"Where have you been?" asks Dabi.
"Oh I fought Stain." says Izuku.
"You what?" asks Dabi.
"I fought the hero killer stain. I'll tell you about if you stitch something up for me." says Izuku.
"What needs stitches?" asks Dabi.
"A hole in my stomach." says Izuku.
"A what?" shouts Dabi
Authors Note
I was really excited to write about stain. I like the dialogue between him and Izuku but I keep second guessing it so I'd like some input on that if you don't mind. I also want to know how you feel about Stain being a half vampire also known as a Dhampir. I plan on writing about Stain more. I think he's an interesting character and he could be close friends with Izuku. Eventually Toga and Dabi are going to meet Stain and they are gonna fanboy/fangirl over him. If Izuku and Stain do work together and Inko eventually finds out that Izuku's a vigilante then she's going to know that her son's friend is a cereal killer. She's eventually gonna realize that he dated a cereal killer as well. I'm excited to write about that when it happens.
Big loaf of bread: I'm glad that you brought up Dhampir's and I was wondering what to do about that. I came to the conclusion that they would be mostly human. Another reason I don't think Izuku would have kids is his experience with his own father. I think the idea of fatherhood would be scary to him. If anybody is gonna call Izuku grandpa it would be Eri's kids if she ever has any, but I have trouble imagining her wanting kids either.
Brazenark 137: Thanks for saying that. I constantly second guess what I do so being told I'm getting better makes me feel good. Also yeah Izuku and Dabi being bros is cool and fun to write. When writing isn't fun it feels like it takes forever but when I write their dialogue it goes by quickly and I enjoy it a lot.
Amadeus Amadeus: I actually didn't know that Dracul means Dragon. That thing with Izuku's dad having the code name dragon was completely coincidental. It works out well though. I second that thought about Dracula drinking and shouting out his philosophy about humans. Also I had this idea of Ruby seeing Dracula in Izuku and the things he does and the way he acts and speaks. Like he quotes Dracula completely by accident and I use that to shift the scene to Dracula and Ruby instead of Izuku and Ruby.
Atomic Dragon 59: shared experince is the main factor in building relationships and It's gonna help Izuku and Dabi get along and even think similarly in some situations. Izuku's gonna be drunk for a lot of classes and maybe even the sports festival. Now that I think about it It would be really funny of he gave the sports festival speech while drunk. I think Izuku's is actually gonna forgive all might and even become a little closer to the man. He's still gonna emotionally black mail him using there first time meeting. He's gonna get all might to smuggle beer into U.A. ans All Might's gonna go with it because he doesn't have the heart to say no to him. I don't think I want Izuku to wipe the floor with everybody. He's still gonna be first or second best in the class but I don't want him to be overpowered. I might make the class a little stronger to keep up with him. If I don't the sports festival would be too easy. I don't think society will be broken down in the future. It will be similar to the way it is now with visible differences but nothing to major. I like the idea with decendants but you're idea gave me another idea to consider. That idea is he finds the reincarnations of his old friends and calls them by their old names. This is actually a little darker than I thought it would be. I originally thought about this as a joke but now that I think about it he has to meet the reincarnations of his dead friends which would probably be emotionally damaging. Despite the emotional damage I'm still considering it.
