Chapter 2 - The costume
Izuku barely could hold himself. He struggled to walk.
'Walk, just a little more' he thought in his head.
His fight against the wolf man was very, very painfull. Not to mention the blood going down his torso from those sharp claws. He could tell that there for sure is going to be a scar. Not only that but his whole body was bruised, the damage he took was too much for his taste. As the blood pour from his body, he finaly made it to the apartment where he lived.
His mind too blurry to process anything else, as he got into his room and right into his bed.
Naomasa Tsukauchi sighed for another time. He looked at all the files on his desk. He felt like punching a wall, he was already getting tired as it was late at night. Stretching in his his chair, thinking about going home and sleeping, made him happy inside. That happiness however was very short as, one of his most trusted heroes, Ereaser Head, also known as Shota Aizawa got iniside his office.
His eye twitching slightly Tsukauchi said tiredly.
"Ereaser? What brings you here at such ... an hour?"
Aizawa rolled his eyes, before bringing him another file.
"A new report, happened not that long ago"
With that Aizawa stood before Tsukauchi, looking even more tired then when he first stepped in. Naomasa on the other hand, grew slightly intrested, reaching over to the file, he opened it up, scanning it with his eyes.
Closing his file Naomasa stared at Ereaser his eyes focused. Aizawa stared back without finching.
"So a women being horrased, eh? And some "boy" saving her?"
Hearing those questions Aizawa sighed loudly, before posturing himself.
"From the women's description the "boy" apeared out of nowhere, helped her and got away while very injured. Maybe some type of Endurance quirk?"
Naomasa looked the file over again.
"For now, we'll ask the women for a sketch of the boy"
"Do we put him as a vigilante?" Aizawa asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, for now no, we have no real prove of quirk usage and that might have been in self defense"
With those words, Naomasa closed the conversation. Later that night, he couldn't stop thinking about what happened and who was the mystery boy.
Izuku couldn't see clearly, everything looked too damn blury. It was like opening his eyes, but still having his eyes half opened. Then he heard it, his door opening.
"Izuku! Breakfast is ready."
Inko Midoriya stepped in, looking at Izuku, who at that moment, was covered by his blankets fully.
"Mom give me a couple more seconds please?"
Inko was about to agree, but she saw dark rings under those damn eyes.
"Young man, it's the second time you didn't have proper sleep!"
Izuku winced slightly, but still begged his mom to give him a second or two.
"Okay, but you tell me what you're doing at night."
Izuku once again grumbled thinking of an exuse, then he remember something out of these old comic books.
"I was cleaning the chimney."
'Stupid Izuku we don't have a chimney!' he exlaimed in his head panicking.
"Chimney? We live in an aprtment! We don't have chimney! Now get of those blankets."
As Inko pulled on those blankets, Izuku's mind went blank before he blurred out.
"MOM I'M NAKED!"
Inko stopped, before huffing and going out with the last worrning.
"You have 2 minutes"
Sighing in relief as his mom left, Izuku got out of bed, not at all naked, still in his clothes. That were torn and destroyed. His vision returning, he stretched for a bit, last nights events coming back to his head. Quickly changing and putting away his old clothes, he went out of his room. His torso was still hurting badly, even so he ate breakfast like normal.
Of course even though he might look normal, in the inside he was torn. On one hand he loved the sensation of helping others. The thought that, if not for him, who knows what would happened to that women, if he wasn't there to save her. On the other hand, he knew that what he was doing was illegal. He thought about turning himself in, but what would his mom say? No, he can't. However instead of going blindly or unprapared, he decieded to make a visit to some shop, to buy some gear.
After some time, Izuku made his way towards the market. Hoping to buy some much needed gear and clothing. First thing he bought was a black thermal shirt to keep his body warm at all times. Then he bought a dark green hoodie, it was perfect and had many pockets on the sides. He didn't think about buying any pants or shoes, since the ones he had were already good.
As Izuku was walking around he also found some dark green gloves to hide his finger prints. After all he was doing something illegal. Than he bought a utility belt, with the utility belt he bought a small pocket knife, some string. Now all he needed was something that would give him range and maybe some bigger up close weapon.
After an hour of walking around Izuku Midoriya couldn't find any range weapon. He did however find a body strap, that would hold his big weapon. However in the strike of genius, well not as much a strike of genius, he thought about those trash can lid that could be used as a weapon and as a shield.
He still had problem of finding some range weapon. Then he bumped into somebody.
"I'm so sorry"
Izuku quickly said helping the person up. Taking a closer look, Izuku blushed slightly, it turned out he has been holding a girl.
"No worry, you're looking for something?"
The girl said, she had brown hair and eyes, with slightly chubby cheeks, that had a faint pink on them.
"Y-yes"
The girl smiled warmly "Oh by the way I'm Ochaco Uraraka, nice to meet you!"
"I'm Izuku Midoriya"
He said, clearly embarassed. After all no girl ever talked to him.
"So what are you looking for?" Ochaco asked, clearly intrested.
Izuku rubbed his arm a bit unsure.
"Well you see ... um ... I'm looking for something for a cosplay!" He panicked, clearly not wanting to say he was looking for something that would be illegal. The thought still made him question his decision.
Uraraka blinked for a moment, before asking a question.
"What kind of cosplay?"
"Ummm ... I'm looking for some range weapon, I'm cosplayin ... ummm ... Tobi from Naruto!" The green haired teenager blurted out, remembering that old manga he had read a while back.
Uraraka blinked before saying with exitment, that put Izuku on edge.
"You seen Naruto? Wow! Never thought I met someone who had seen it!"
Izuku sighed, the conversation taking a toll on him.
Izuku looked over himself over the mirror once again, making sure everything was in place. it was a couple hours after his talk and the unexpected shopping trip with Uraraka. He still couldn't believe he got her number and the fact he talked to a girl!
His vigilante costume didn't turn out as expected. Now he still wore his baggy pants and red shoes, however now he had the black thermal shirt on with the unzipped dark green hoodie, the black gloves and the body strap. His utility belt secured tightly, with the pocket knife and some string, he also bought some capture tape, just in case. Then came the newest additions, the spiral orange mask he bought, however this one showed both of his eyes. Under the mask were goggles that changed his eye colour to red, giving him that sharingan effect.
He sighed, but he got to admit, he looked good. He then got his last things on being his new additions shurikens, they were sharp, even if Izuku needed some practice with them. Then he put the trash can lid on his back. Taking the last look at himself, he got to say, he was more then ready. After all the years of preparing to become a hero, he could finaly go out and do his dream, I be it a bit illegal.
At the thought of it being illegal he stopped in his tracks. He sighed before putting everything away and going to sleep. It was still 4 pm, however he had his now night duties. Setting his alarm at 10:30 pm, he finaly fell asleep.
