Guilt and Determination

Naomasa took his report to the police chief as quickly as he could. When he entered the office he started.

"Sir, I managed to figure out the identity of the vigilante 'Yellow Flash'."

Kenji looked taken aback, he was not expecting such urgency in the detectives' voice. Sure the case had taken a long time but he was not really in any hurry now.

"You need to take a look at this"

With that the detective put a file on his desk, wasting no time he looked over it. He immediately realised why the detective seemed so on edge.

As he read more into the report, about the vigilantes' backstory he thought back to his first appearance. He was apparently around 11 at the time. He had always incapacitated his "victims".

He also remembered the first time a hero had seen him, his face only covered with his own ripped up sleeve, just after he saved a girl about his own age from a burning apartment building. Using his sleeves as rags to stop them from inhaling too much smoke.

He started getting the gist of the situation more and more. Him being an orphan lead the police chief to reconsider his judgement about the vigilante. He had apparently also graduated from middle school early, in fact, that was done a few days ago.

Usually, people that went through what this child did rarely become successful and productive members of society.

Some even became villains, this child took a different turn in life, it had somehow brought him there. In backstreets, fighting dangerous individuals with little training.

He didn't know much about the child's past, only what was written on paper, but he could assume that he didn't begin training before gaining his quirk. With less than a year of training, he started fighting villains.

In a sense, he was relieved that someone with such a powerful quirk wasn't evil. Even at such a young age, he had cleared the streets in his district. Very few villains had the courage to step in it, only the overconfident and the insane.

After a while he even started patrolling the districts around him, he caught any type of criminal, from drug dealers to murderers. Due to him, half of Mutusafu almost became a crime-free zone.

In a sense, his the word on his cape made sense. Looking at his achievements he deserved to wear it.

This was quite difficult for him to wrap his head around it. But, regardless of the age of the vigilante, he needed to stop him from further endangering himself and others that followed his ways.

Without waiting, he started calling agencies around the city, even those in nearby cities. Taking down Allan was not going to be an easy task. From the recollection of most heroes that met him, he was extremely fast, both in body and instinct.

That was what he was known for, the wider public also knew this, his nickname itself surfaced due to the way he defeated villains, even the people he saved didn't see more than a golden flash.

He was quick, precise and dangerous in a fight. Their mission was to capture him, it would be a task that required a lot of people and resources.

He also needed to contact the only person he hoped could match the vigilante in speed... All Might. The symbol of peace, this was their only real hope in actually catching Allan.

He gave that job to Naomasa, knowing the two had some sort of connection. Maybe the detective had more chances of convincing the Nr.1 Hero. Although he doubted All Might would turn down this request, it didn't matter where it came from.

__________ POV Toshinori Yagi__________

Sitting down at home I looked through some materials I needed to learn to become a good teacher. I had a lot to read, so I decided to start early.

My phone rang while I was concentrated on the proper method to approach failure. Apparently, making the student feel bad was alright as long as it was not too excessive?

I looked at the caller and immediately responded. Naomasa didn't call that often, and it was usually on very important matters.

When I responded and asked what was going on I got this answer.

"We have found the identity of the vigilante "Yellow Flash". We need your help in apprehending him."

I was not expecting that, I had known of this person before, even though I had just moved here I was still aware of his influence. I had seen his first appearance in the videos, I could barely follow it with my eyes.

"Very well, I'll help you." If they reached out to me then they must be desperate.

There may have been ways to circumvent his speed if his quirk a simple speed amplification one. But from the looks of it, it had a lot to do with light.

" We'll send you his file. Tomorrow we will gather a group of heroes that will help with his capture..."

Naomasa paused a bit, thinking. This was unusual, he was usually very straight-forward.

"Toshinori, keep in mind, this is a very special case."

With that, he ended the call. I quickly turned on my laptop to look at his e-mail.

I no longer felt like studying. The second I opened the file I was sent I realised why Naomasa had said those words to him, he finally understood why his friend seemed somewhat distracted on the phone.

The report he sent me, sent a shiver down my spine... The vigilante that had taken down the most dangerous villains in Mutusafu was a child.

I knew that I couldn't have done anything about it, I knew the guilt I was feeling was illogical. But I had taken on a title, I was THE Symbol of Peace.

Clutching what remained of my stomach, the same word repeated in my mind"PATHETIC", a child had been doing my job, someone I had sworn to protect was putting his life at risk because of my ineptitude...

His blue eyes shone, with great determination. He failed to save this person when it was necessary, the least he could do was make sure he could capture him unharmed.

Tomorrow would be a busy day, but he didn't think he could fall asleep quickly. He stayed up late, looking more into the feats of the child named Allan.
