Ryujin: The Boy Who Saved The World

chapter 2 ~ Ryujin

Izuku was exhausted. He'd taken down quite a few thugs tonight, and wanted nothing more than to sleep. But he couldn't. Why? Because it was 2 in the morning and his favorite new tag buddy was chasing him across rooftops. It had been 3 and a half years since Ryujin first met Eraser. Back when he flashbombed the guy, now they have annual tag every night. He could tell the hero enjoyed the thrill, finally someone who rivaled his stealth.

Izuku was about to jump, when he saw his father and mother in front of him, pleading for someone to save them, they were surrounded by fire. The hallucinations had been happening a lot recently.

This one was so vivid though, so- So real.

In a moment of hesitance, he fell and plummeted off the roof, landing loudly in a dumpster below. He groaned and began running again, desperately trying to lose the hero at this point, just so he could get some much needed rest. As he rounded a corner, the hero met him, face to face, at a dead end. He had nowhere to go.

"Finally. I win today," EraserHead spoke smugly as he used his capture wepon and tightly held the young boy, he made no move to take off the boys hood or mask though, he instead asked if the boy was okay after the fall.

Izuku responded with a nod, still refusing to speak to anyone.

Aizawas face was gruff. Constantly holding a straight face, he never smiled unless he wanted to scare his students, even then his smile wasn't genuine.

When the kid didn't speak, aizawa frowned ever so slightly, many of the victims said that Ryujin never spoke, he now was thinking the boy was mute.
"You.. don't talk, do you?" Aizawa asked, sitting on the ground across from the tired kid. He had to admit, he was exhausted as well, all he wanted to do now was sleep, but he couldn't, because he now had the boy he'd been chasing for almost 3 years now in his scarf.

Izuku shook his head no, before going back to staring aimlessly at the ground.

Aizawa pulled his phone out, readying to call Tsukauchi, but when he looked up from the screen to check on the vigilante, he was already gone.
"What the fuck?" Aizawa said to himself. Nobody could sneak away from him like that, especially in his capture scarf. He would have felt the movment, but just like that, the boy was gone.

How? Simple, izuku was a master at escaping ropes, since he constantly walked into traps set by villains. He eventually decided to train himself to be prepared for any future traps. And so, he could get out of a rope, or scarf, no issue, he just needed to wait for the hero to look away.

Then he was gone, faster than light, well... maybe not really, but damn he was outa there Hella fast. He finally made it a safe distance before slowing his pace to a jog, he carefully scaled a building much taller than others, he wanted to watch the sun rise.

_________________________________________

The wild wild pussy cats didn't really bother him or his tree house, it was really far off from the main camp and he hardly saw people there in the first place. Only occasionally would he see UA students there. Only ever class 1b due to 1a's teachers habit of expelling all his students on the first day.

Izuku's area was closed off, so the students weren't allowed to be back there. He occasionally scared off curious students by wearing a deer head and bear hide while one stilts and chasing them. The pussy cats thought it was hilarious, and asked him to continue to scare students occasionally.

So when he arrived home around 4 after sleeping on the roof of the tallest building in Musutafu, he did not expect Mandalay to be waiting on a small stump near his tree house.
"Hey izuku! Welcome home" She spoke cheerfully, izuku waved back softly with a small smile, his mask was pulled down and now rested around his neck.
