14 Gathering of Heroes 1/2

Author's note: Hey guys! I will post a bonus chapter later today. My test went well so I'm in a good mood.

I think I'll manage to reach 15k words today.

I hope you don't mind the pace of the story.

___________________________________________________________

This whole day was filled with anticipation, I could barely hold my cool while waiting patiently. But I knew they weren't going to come to my home. Which is an orphanage filled with children, at least not without evacuating everybody nearby.

They probably prepared a team specifically for evacuation. I decided to give them an opportunity, they didn't know I was aware of their attack, but if they knew that I was actively helping their operation then they might not really consider me all that innocent anymore. They would most likely realize I had some ulterior motive.

Regardless, I couldn't wait to see what they were going to throw at me. Curiosity was really eating away at me.

The streets were much quieter lately, even the backstreets were lacking in activity, both villains and civilians avoided them like the plague, it was the place I acted the most in. Most people

Running to a nearby park only took a few minutes.

Really I always gravitate towards parks for some reason. Not that I mind, a park is a nice place, it also made it easy for the heroes and police to evacuate the people in the area. In the evening the park was not really that populated. At least not the one I chose as the stage for our little showdown.

The park was almost empty already, the further I walked the fewer people I saw. I could feel the police, slowly evacuating them, they were trying to do so quietly. They surrounded the park with squad cars. It was an attempt to cut off my escape routes.

I could feel a group of people enter the park, there was about four of them. Heroes, All Might was not among them, he was most likely waiting to make an appearance. The heroes I could feel were somewhat recognizable.

The ever-tired dry-eyed hero Eraser Head, also future homeroom teacher of class 1-A, the promiscuous hero with a questionable side job as a teacher Midnight, the fashionable Best Jeanist, not much to say about the guy, and the pro hero that resembled a cowboy with aim hacks Snipe.

All four played some role in the story, they were respectable people, some with questionable tastes in fashion(looking at midnight mainly), but these were just the front liners. I could feel a lot of heroes in the back, among the police force.

They were helping keep up the barricade, making sure I wasn't going to escape.

Some of the choices for front liners were to be expected, all of them were wearing special gas masks. Aizawa was among the few people I considered a threat.

Midnight would also prove troublesome, her quirk somnambulist was interesting, they were probably planning to use her aroma on a larger scale. Snipe was also probably going to provide cover fire.

Best Jeanist was among the top 5 heroes out there, he could restrain me for a bit. I needed to pay attention to their formation. From where I stood I counted quite a few heroes, I was not really bothered by their numbers. If I actually wanted to escape there was nothing here to stop me.

They were approaching slowly, I had already stopped and sat down on a nearby bench, waiting for them to make the first move. I think they will first try to speak to me. Looking forward to that.

By the time they reached me I was almost falling asleep, not from Midnight's quirk, but boredom. They really took their time, I must have sat on that bench for at least 10 minutes.

Now they surrounded me, I was still relaxing on the bench. Just as Aizawa was about to speak up I said.

"Such a fine day right, sir? What would you kind heroes want from me?" I said cheerfully and full of energy.

He looked a bit taken aback by my random comment, after composing himself he said seriously.

"We already know of your identity as the Yellow Flash"

"Would you come with us to the station?" Midnight said, she was being quite hopeful, too bad I needed to put up a fight, this will be my last as a vigilante.

"Now, why would I do that?" My reply was slow and somewhat lazy sounding, losing its cheerful undertone from my previous sentence. It seemed to somewhat annoy them.

"Villains must be really slacking today if all of you had enough time to come here. I feel honoured really." I was still speaking slowly, not really letting my anticipation show.

Right now I could feel All Might rushing towards us. I thought he would join later into the fight, but this worked too. He probably got impatient, wanting to convince me peacefully.

He stopped right in front of me and looked strangely solemn. Just as he appeared I started hearing several new's helicopters. For some reason, I think Aizawa was looking at him like he was looking at an idiot. Objectively he wasn't wrong.

It seemed my little show was going to attract quite a big audience. I can only hope it would attract the intended audience. With both the Symbol of Peace here and the most famous vigilante in the city, every major news channel wanted a scoop of the situation.

As I stood up All Might started talking.

"Please let us help you, Allan!" His voice was always loud in this form honestly.

Smiling I said, "Why, but I'm doing just fine kind sir."

My tone was just as lazy as before, but this time it had a wary undertone, I was prepared for action.

All Might looked somewhat sad. Midnight was the first to act ripping a bit of her costume off and trying to spread her aroma around us, since all of the heroes, including the newly arrived All Might, wore protective gear against her quirk. The best counter I had to her was knocking her out early in the fight.

Meanwhile, just as Aizawa was about to activate his quirk, I flashed right in front of him and used Amaterasu, even with his goggles on this still took him out of the fight. Truthfully speaking he was the only threat in this group. As long as he couldn't use his quirk then I couldn't be damaged, at least not accidentally.

After making sure he was out, I quickly dashed towards Midnight. Just as I was about to hit her my trajectory was intersected by All Might and a bullet. Although Snipe couldn't keep up with me he could still predict my movements.

All Might was clearly not expecting such a quick response, it took him a second to compose himself and intercept me. He was just as fast as I thought, he could keep up with me as long as I didn't go at full speed.

I saw him trying to tackle me, he probably didn't want to actually hurt me... I found that quite disrespectful, did he think I could be subdued so easily? Using my full speed I appeared behind Midnight and knocked her out, without her, I could breathe freely.

Suddenly my own clothes started fighting against me, I didn't want to fight naked, so I simply resisted it.

The clothes only held me in place for a second. Snipe and All Might took this opportunity, the first shot about 3 bullets in quick succession, while the latter tried to take me down from my blind spot.

Just as they were about to hit me I flashed away and kicked Best Jeanist unconscious. With him gone there was nobody to hold me in place for extended periods.

The remaining heroes were getting restless, and the public was probably the same. I had just defeated the number 4 hero while having the number 1 hero right on my back.

Looking at the Symbol of Peace I quickly flashed a light in his eyes, stunning him momentarily, using that gap I got rid of the last hero besides him. Although Snipe tried to stop me with a few well-placed shots, he didn't manage to even graze me.

He was mainly relying on instinct, needless to say, his reaction speed was very high. Sadly it didn't save him from being knocked down.

Looking back at the Symbol, this had turned around, from a group fight into a 1v1. The team they had chosen was made to suppress me, they wanted to capture me quickly, it was a decent combination, Eraser does his thing, Jeanist holds me in place, Midnight puts me to sleep. Snipe was only here for support.

If I didn't react quickly the fight would have been over just like that. Taking down the enemies in order of importance was the only way to go in my situation.

Thankfully, they underestimated my reaction speed quite a bit.
