In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

190. X-Less

A.N. — Today's the first day all month whose drabble is not dictated by a birthday. This hero was in the hideout raid (which the timeline says was in July), and later died in the Jaku Hospital. I had to fit one good guy in before a run of ne'er-do-wells.

190. X-Less

As the Eye-Gun Hero, X-Less was glad Laser was only singled-barreled. He couldn't imagine how bothersome having beams firing out of both eyes would be.

With a vicious scar marring his left eye and a quirk that was all-too-easy to kill and maim with, it was a wonder X-Less hadn't ever considered villainy. But he was the cautious sort, and heroism was theoretically safer than law-breaking, even if both were fraught with danger. X-Less felt Laser needed to be employed in the quest for justice, rather than as a beacon for injustice to rally around.

A.N. 2 — I did something unique with this drabble: since X-Less has a hyphenated name, I abused hyphens for this chapter. That was more fun than focusing on his big canon moment of being the first casualty of Shigaraki's re-awakening.
