The Hero In Me - Vigilante Deku

Chapter 2

        Izuku saw the news and literally spit out his drink. Well, there goes breakfast, he thought. The news caught wind about a new vigilante on the scene thanks to Eraser Head. Izuku clenched his fist. He knew being near Eraser was a mistake! Now his plans need to be adjusted...

He continued to watch the news. "Sector 13 in Musutafu was the first sighting of this new vigilante. Police reports don't have any information on the incident, and a hero who was on the scene wasn't able to get a good look at them. No new information has been reported as of date. Now on to the weather-" Izuku cleaned up his dishes tuning the T.V out. At least they don't have any good information about me, he thought.

Izuku went to his room and pulled his outfit from his closet. He sewed up the areas that would require the most protection. It wasn't exactly like his drawing but it was as close as he could get it, and that was okay. Izuku hadn't really thought of a vigilante name but now he'll have to think of one before the media and public do, and they aren't even that good at names. He looked at the list in his notebook: nothing good or caught his eye. Izuku groaned, dropping flat on his back, and looked up to the ceiling. Izuku's phone pinged and it was from Yoshi, asking to hang out at the mall.

----~~~----

Even though Izuku is 11, almost 12, he was still kinda short, which made him a bit trickier to find in a crowd. This happened with Yoshi when he got to the mall and went to the food court. Even though Izuku was standing right in front of him, he was still looking around trying to find him. "Um, Yoshi-Kun? I'm right here," Izuku said. Yoshi looked down in surprise. "Oh! Izuku! There you are! Sorry, I didn't see you there, you're so small and quiet," Yoshi said. "Hehe, yeah..." Izuku chuckled quietly. Yoshi headed towards the food counter and Izuku followed, wanting a smoothie.

Once he had the smoothie he sat down with Yoshi who was eating some fires... at 11 in the morning. "You are a weird one Yoshi-kun. Fries in the morning?" Izuku said. "Oi, don't judge! It's considerably late for morning now!" Yoshi said with his mouth full. "Ew, don't talk with your mouth full, that's gross!" Izuku exclaimed. Yoshi swallowed his food and offered Izuku some fries, but he denied.

"Hey, you live in Sector 11 right?" Yoshi asked out of the blue. "Y-yeah, w-why?" Dammit, the stutter. "Well a vigilante appeared 2 sectors away and who knows maybe they'll show up in your area.". Izuku slowly sipped his drink. "Who knows." Izuku seemed to be lost in thought. And, being around Izuku for a while now, Yoshi could almost always tell if something is bothering Izuku.

"How're your online classes?" Yoshi asked to get his mind on something else "Oh, well, I finished the terms work so I'm pretty much free to do stuff, how are your classes Yoshi-Kun?" Izuku had a smug look on his face. "Fine, I'm just having trouble understanding the work sometimes," Yoshi said awkwardly. He looked away. This wasn't what he wanted to happen but it's better than nothing. "So my friends have taken a liking to you, and now I think they are stealing you from me" Yoshi looked back at Izuku. "W-well that's i-interesting. I thought they just tolerated me because of you." He looked down.

"That's not true. You're amazing in your own right. I know it seems like the world hates you 'cause you don't have a quirk, but you can only prove yourself through your actions." Yoshi finished his fries, he got up and walked to the trash and disposed of the container. Yoshi walked back to Izuku. "Here's an idea: how about we hang out?" Izuku looked at Yoshi and put his drink down "S-sure, If y-you're not b-busy," Izuku stuttered. God, he hated his stutter. It appears out of nowhere at the worst times. Izuku finished his drink and walked around the mall with Yoshi.

They stopped in a few stores and mostly went window shopping, though Yoshi kept his eye on Izuku. Something is definitely up with Izuku. Izuku bought some new clothes and they continued around the mall for another hour, then they went to Izuku's home to relax and cool down. It was starting to get hot in Japan. Izuku held onto the bag as they walked toward Izuku's neighborhood. A fight was happening across from the home but the two weren't bothered by it. A fight in this area is best to avoid or you have a target on your back, and people don't like that.
