Firstly, I want to inform the Readers that in this chapter I experimented with AI to spell check and altered the story to make it sound better, but it didn't change much from the whole chapter I wrote. My original was 1700 words, yet the AI managed to cut it down to less than 1400 words which makes it better, but I had to correct some bits that were cut out by it. The next Chapter will be just me writing and proofreading like I usually

Chapter 1: First Meeting
An unknown person is running from the police in an alleyway, trying to catch his breath. "Huff, I-I need to get this to him," he says as he catches his breath.
"There he is! Let's get him!" a police officer shouted.
"Crap," the unknown guy mutters as he resumes running.
(Splash)
He runs through puddles as it continues to rain. 'Why must it rain tonight!' he thinks as he makes a sharp turn and hides behind some trash.
"Which way did he go?" one officer shouts.
"I think he went that way," another responds, leading the group in the opposite direction of where the unknown person is hiding.
"Huff," he breathes out, peeking to see if he lost the police. "Finally, they're gone." He cautiously emerges from the trash and moves to another alley.
"Well, well, look who we have here. Thought you could run from justice, did you? Sorry to disappoint, darling, but your little escape ends here. Now, be a good boy and come quietly, or things might get... a bit uncomfortable for you," Midnight says, cracking her whip against the ground.
"Crap," he mutters. 'I didn't expect to be found by Midnight of all people.' He takes a step back. "I only stole medication and food. Do they need to send a high-ranking hero just to catch me?" he shouts.
"Taking things that don't belong to you is a serious crime, and as a hero, I can't ignore it, you naughty boy," Midnight retorts, attacking with her whip. He dodges it. "Well, it's the hard way, then," she smiles.
'Crap and it had to be the sadistic one that finds me as well,' he thinks, dodging her attacks. "Oh, you're quite the slippery one, aren't you? But you can't dodge forever. Eventually, you'll get tired, and that's when I'll make my move. Let's see how long you can keep up this little dance!" she says, continuing her assault.
'This one, I can't dodge,' he realizes as the whip is about to hit him. Suddenly, he glitches, allowing the whip to pass through him. His eyes widen. "Kid!" he shouts loudly, startling Midnight.
The unknown guy runs past Midnight. "Oh no, you don't! You might have surprised me for a moment, but playtime is over. You won't get away that easily!" she says, chasing after him.
He runs as if his life depended on it, arriving at his destination to find a kid covered in blood, surrounded by thugs.
"Let's keep beating him before killing him, boys," the leader of the thugs says, laughing.
The sight pisses the guy off. He glances back, seeing Midnight not far behind. He uses his quirk. "Steal!" he shouts, and Midnight's whip flies from her hand to his, surprising her
(Crack!) The whip strikes one of the thugs, making him scream.
"What the hell!" the thugs shout, seeing who attacked them. "Get him!" they yell, using their quirks against him.
The unknown person uses the whip to fend off the thugs while protecting the kid. Midnight catches up, confused by the scene. "What's going on here?" she asks, deciding to question it later. She uses her quirk, putting the thugs to sleep. "That was easy," she says as the unknown guy collapses to the ground, injured from the fight.
"Is Izuku okay?" he asks in a shaky voice, pointing at the kid.
Midnight keeps an eye on him while checking on the child. "Still breathing, but he seems to be unconscious. Dear god, he's hot," she says, feeling the kid's temperature.
The unknown guy begins to glitch out. "Trying to escape, are we?" Midnight asks, still near the child.
He shakes his head. "No, I'm not escaping. Izuku's getting too weak for one of his quirks to work, and I'll be disappearing back to where I came from," he says.
"What do you mean by that?" Midnight asks.
"I don't have enough time to explain," he says, fading. "Please take Izuku somewhere he can recover. He's growing weaker and weaker. He's sick and hasn't eaten properly in a long time, plus he's injured." He fades more. "I'm sorry, Izuku, for not coming in time," he says before vanishing completely.
Midnight is left speechless. She knows only one thing for sure: the child is the priority. She picks him up. 'He's so light,' she thinks as she runs like a mad lady towards UA, normally a 20-minute run, but she makes it in 5.
[Recovery Girl's Office]
"It seems like today is a quiet day," Recovery Girl remarks, noting the absence of students or staff.
(Bang) The door flies open, startling her.
Midnight rushes in, placing the child on a bed. "Recovery Girl, I need your help," she says, completely out of breath.
Recovery Girl sees blood on Midnight's uniform and quickly moves to check on the child. "Oh dear," she says, hooking up a heart monitor. "Midnight, get the wipes and my box, quick," she instructs. Midnight complies. "It's going to be a long night," Recovery Girl sighs.
[Next Morning]
Izuku opens his eyes weakly, noticing he's in a nurse's office. He turns his head gently, seeing two ladies talking.
"It's a good thing you brought him here. If you had taken him to any hospital, he might not have made it," Recovery Girl says with a sigh.
"I know," Midnight replies, turning to see the child move his head. "Good morning, sleepyhead! How are you feeling?" she asks, walking over to him.
"Better," Izuku says weakly, looking around. "Where's Stealer?" he asks.
"Stealer?" Midnight asks.
"Black hair, male, 6 feet tall, has the quirk 'Steal' which allows him to take things from people's hands," Izuku explains weakly.
Midnight realizes he's asking about the unknown guy. "He faded away," she says.
"Oh, I guess I was extremely near death for Possibility to function," Izuku says.
Midnight and Recovery Girl are shocked. "What do you mean by that, dear?" Recovery Girl asks.
"I have two quirks. One is feline, which gives me feline ears and a tail along with their senses and habits. The other is Possibility. I don't know much about it other than it summons a version of me from somewhere, and the quirk is sentient and can think for itself. It seems to have summoned Stealer to help me," Izuku explains sadly. Then he sneezes, causing cat ears and a tail to appear.
"Two quirks: one that is cute and the other overpowering and dangerous," Midnight says, surprised.
(Ping)
"It seems like they found the document I asked for," Recovery Girl says, opening an email and reading it.
Name: Izuku Midoriya
Born: July 15th, 2180
Father: Hisashi Midoriya (Disappeared)
Mother: Inko Midoriya (Passed away)
Quirk: Feline (gives user feline ears and tail along with their senses and habits)
Status: Declared missing 4 years ago
Recovery Girl looks at a picture of Izuku with short, fluffy dark-green hair and symmetrical freckles on his cheeks. The Izuku she sees in the bed has long silver hair, no freckles, and looks much younger than his age. "Oh dear, it seems we found a missing child," she says, showing the information to Midnight.
Midnight reads it, feeling sorry for the child but also shocked at how different he looks, and his appearance doesn't match his age as if he is a 'Sho-Sho-Shota!'. "I am adopting him since he seems to have no family members," Midnight declares.
'Oh dear,' is all Recovery Girl can think of in response as she is too tired to care at this point
That's it for this chapter. Have a nice day
