"...And it is for that reason that we are giving the Vigilante named Invincible a threat level of rank A. By definition of the Law, he hasn't hurt anyone other than Muscular, so he cannot fall under the rank of a villain. The threat level of rank A is warranted, as Invincible is a highly dangerous man with a strong and unpredictable quirk at his disposal. If you ever see a man similar to the picture shown on the right, then please flee as soon as you can, and report his location to the local authorities. That's all for today, thank you."
Tsukauchi pressed the button of the tv remote, eliminating all of the remaining light in the room, leaving it pitch black. He took a seat back in his chair, taking solace in the momentarily silence before groaning in frustration.
Ever since the video had been leaked his boss had given him an earful, though even he seemed to understand that it was impossible to catch a monster like that.
Luckily he had been kept on the case, and because of the huge priority upgrade of the case, Tsukauchi was allowed to call his contacts and ask them for help. Previously, for low priority cases Tsukauchi wasn't allowed to call in his hero contacts, otherwise it would just be wasting their time, but after the development that had happened, Tsukauchi guessed that a pro hero was needed.
Looks like he knew who to call. Thank God for phones.
============
The anxiety and fear that had creeped up into Akira's chest was gone the moment he had put on his outfit. All he needed to do was treat everything the way it had been going. Everything had changed, but the best thing he could do for himself was treat it like nothing happened and go about his activities as usual.
The very people he would be rescuing tonight would be the same ones reporting his location to the police, hoping to snatch some reward money. He couldn't blame them though, they were innocent people, and although that innocence typically came with ignorance and greed, Akira made a promise to protect them.
He took to the night like a chameleon blends into its surroundings, his black costume merging with the night itself. The weak whimper of a kid brought him to where he spotted a common criminal holding the poor kid at gunpoint.
He only realised a second later with the feminine looking face and bright bushy green hair who this was. He was shaking on the edge of tears, apologising incoherently while the man shouted explicit threats at the poor boy and demanded him for his money.
Akira flicked his finger, creating a small but strong bullet of wind which pierced through the man's skin.
"ARGHHHHH!!!"
The criminal kneeled to the ground, clutching his bloodied hand. He regained his composure a moment later, and made to grab the gun he had dropped, but a small gust of wind brought the gun over to Akira.
"WHO IS IT!!!" The thug screamed. Akira decided that it was time to make him known,
"I'm Batma–" Akira cleared his throat, "Call me Invincible."
Both of the participants raised their eyebrows in shock, instantly recognising the figure as he came into the light.
"Your…"
"That guy on the video!" Akira raised an eyebrow at that. Izuku watched that video? Looks like he must have found a way to sneak past his overbearing mother.
"It seems you both know who I am," He looked towards the bigger man, "Then surely you know how futile it is to try and attempt to fight me? Or do you want to test your worth and give it a go?"
The thug shook his head frantically, bowing to the floor, "I surrender, I'll turn myself in, I'll never hurt anyone again, I promise! Just please don't hurt me!"
'Wow, what a loser…' Akira sweat dropped.
"As long as you do as you said, but I promise!" Akira lifted the thugs head up, looking into his eyes with an intense glare, "But if I see that you didn't turn yourself in, then I'll do what I do to Muscular you, no…I'll do even worse. Now go!"
The thug ran off with tears into his eyes. Akira smiled under his mask. Looks like this newfound fame came with some perks.
He turned his attention to the future One for All holder.
"Oh my God! That was so cool! You were like bam, and he was like wah, and then he ran off! So cool! Thank you so much for saving me!"
"No problem," Akira shuffled back, trying to get away from Izuku's jittery energy, "You're not hurt are you?"
Izuku shook his head, "I'm fine thanks to you! I got carried away watching hero fights and making notes that it was dark by the time I was on my way home. I decided to try and take a shortcut to avoid worrying my mum, but this happened." He rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Well try to avoid alleyways and stick to the light and you'll be safe. I best be going, kid, I have more people to save."
"Wait!" Before Akira could jump and leap off, Izuku stopped him.
"Hm?"
"I just wanted to know, what's your quirk?"
Akira laughed, "I'm afraid I can't tell you that, but I can give you a hint…Stars."
"Stars…huh? What does stars have to do with your power? Maybe because…" Izuku started rambling, turning his coherent sentences into a mess of mumbled words that even Akira couldn't understand.
Once he finally stopped rambling, Izuku rubbed his head sheepishly with embarrassment, "Sorry…"
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure someone as smart as you would be able to figure it out. I've gotta go now. Remember, stick to open spaces and lights!" He looked at Izuku one last time before leaping off.
