*KEN'S POV*
So crippling and putting the number two hero in the hospital for an unknown amount of time wasn't the best choice I've made so far. But like come on the dude forced his wife to marry him, ignored two of his kids completely, drove one to near suicide, and beat and helped traumatized the youngest. So all in all not the smartest move but not a morally wrong one.
*sigh* Everyone in the brotherhood has now been labeled extremely dangerous villains and orders to call the heros and flee on sight have been given. And the cherry on top of this fuck pie is that a warrant for Ken Yamamoto has been issued, to be brought in for questioning.
The way I see it is that I have three options:
1. Tun myself in, and leave my fate to the government.
2. Disappear flee to another country, or lay low here.
3. Say fuck it and go about my business as have done so far.
The first is the lazy way out. The second while the safest will go against how I want to live my life. So the third while the most troublesome, I promised myself to live the way I wanted to this time around. So I'm currently getting ready to intercept a shipment of people heading out of Kofu towards Toyama.
Standing on a rooftop I watched as a semi truck drove through the city. Three other cars were protecting it. One was two cars ahead of the truck and one lane over. The other two were behind it both falling behind and speeding up next to the truck, but never surpassing it. The sun was settling and the moon could bee seen somewhat in the dying light. Jumping atop the buildings I followed along waiting for them to take a less populated road so I could intercept them. As they turned and I jumped to the next building a scarf wrapped around me pinning my arms to my side, and yanking me to another building. Turning mid air to see who was getting in my way I saw....a hobo, stripper, and mouse?
*GENERAL POV*
The world was shaken with the fall of the number two hero Endeavour. Taken out not by a villain but by a vigilante...a child vigilante. The Hero Public Safety Commission (H.P.S.C.) was trying to do damage control. Normally the worst that would happen is a slight increase in crime, however a rumor that Endeavour abused his family and the H.P.S.C. helped cover it and the suicide of his son up was spreading like wild fire. Several internal investigations have begun and the reporters have been twisting everything said by anyone to fit their narrative.
"Well this is quit interesting." A cheerful and high pitched voice spoke up in a conference room. "A group of vigilantes all between the ages of seven and ten. One of which crippled and hospitalized the number two hero Endeavour." Pausing to take a sip of tea he continued after a brief pause. "And you want my help in catching one of them?"
Tsukauchi:"*ahem*..uh yes we believe the one known as Ronin is actually a boy that went missing a few years ago. His name is Ken Yamamoto he fits into the age range and has similar features like white hair and golden eyes."
Nezu:" I see...do have anything that can help locate them?"
Tsukauchi:" Ronin goes after human traffickers, Beast typically goes after drug dealers, Senju spends his time in the slums healing the homeless, going as far as to provide medication for free. Hawkeye....we know little to nothing about him. He appears randomly stopping crimes here and there. He's not even limited to a city he has been seen all over Japan."
Nezu:" Why not go after Senju? He is clearly the support, and likely has less combat experience. With him gone the others most likely wont be able to find medical aid as easily."
Eraser:" It's not that we don't think the same it's more about the reaction of the homeless. They are somewhat protective of the brotherhood, but they won't hesitate to fight for Senju."
Sansa:" While the others pushed the gangs out letting them live somewhat safer lives. Senju heals, and helps take care of them. If we take him in the possibility of a riot is high, and given the increase in crime and rumors of corrupt heros...yeah a riot is the last thing we need."
Nezu:"*hmmmn* I see. So any idea on where Ronin will be?"
Eraser:" I've heard rumors of some traffickers moving in Kofu. That would be a good place to start."
Nezu:" Besides myself and Eraser who else do you want to bring?"
Tsukauchi:" Midnight. We have heard several different account's all saying he has a different quirk. Some say he has a wind manipulation quirk others say he can teleport, and those are just a few of the different accounts of his quirk. That's why elwe are sending Eraser, almost every account says he is an emmitter. Midnight incase he tries to fight back. We want his captured garenteed so of he starts to be a problem she will knock him out. And you to help identify his quirk and help question him while I'm there so I can verify what he says."
Nezu:" I see, how exciting of course I'd love to help hehehehahhaha!" Mad laughter rang out of the conference room.
------------Time skip later that night-----------
"Why did you drag me out here Aizawa!? I'm supposed to be at a spa appointment tonight!"
Eraser:" Don't say my name while we're out on patrol Midnight."
Midnight:" But your always on patrol...and you didn't answer my question."
" Were here for Ronin." A third and far more chipper voice interrupted their banter. " He is to be captured and brought in for questioning. You are here to help subdue him in case he fights back."
Midnight:" Eh...Ronin that kid vigilante? So zawa deactivates and captures, while I gas him?."
Nezu:" Yup! And I'm here to see if I can identify his quirk and question him when he gets to the station."
Eraser:" Look." Pionting to a small figure in the distance running along the rooftops going at a relatively fast pace. "It looks like he following some thing."
Midnight:" He's pretty fast for a little guy." With out a word Nezu got on Eraser's shoulder and the three of them ran to intercept Ronin.
Getting closer Eraser grabbed his scarf and waited for Ronin to jump to the next building. Watching as the scarf wrapped around the child samurai he yanked him towards the trio.
As Ronin turned mid-air and made eye contact with them Eraser knew some thing wasn't right.
Ronin spun mid air loosening the bindings a little but enough to to slip through. Grabbing the scarf he gave it a tug. The rest of the scarf wrapped around the hobo hero tightened and before he or anyone else could react he pulled on the scarf. This both made the hero become off balance and pulledbhim towards him. As he flew towards the hero he noticed the plushie jump off the hobo just in time to miss Ronin tackling the hero to the ground. While the hero tried to get up the vigilante futher wrapped the scarf around the heros neck and put his foot at the base of his neck and pulled upwards with the scarf.
Before the stripper or build a bear could say anything Ronin spoke. " Your in my way, remove yourselves, or I will." Pulling on the scarf a little harder causing the hobo ninja to grunt. " The hard way."
Nezu knew with one solid yank Ronin would at best paralyze Eraser and at worst snap his neck. Putting up his hands Nezu tried to easy the tension. "We're not here to..." "Step aside Now." Ronin was pissed, people were suffering they were about to sold off and used in one way or the other. And these fucks were in his way. Looking at the most dangerous out of the three he saw a cruel glint in his beady little eyes. The look he had was the same as his when he was breaking and cutting up the trash. "Yamamoto Ken." Ah so that's what he was so giddy about he knew my name. So what, it didn't matter. What matters is the truck with thirty people inside about to be sold off like cattle. But if he wanted to play the info game...he could play. "Subject #394 move or I'll put you down like the animal you are."
Silence
Nezu's fur stood on end. Midnight' s jaw dropped. Eraser stopped trying to grab his knife. Ronin moved.
Ronin dropped the scarf and drove his foot into Eraser's skull. Using it as a platform he lept at Midnight knee meeting her nose and driving her into the ground. Nezu had his claws out and teeth bared, he lept at this little fucking shit, only to be met with a back hand to his side cracking his ribs and sending him skidding across the roof. Without looking back Ronin went after the truck he wasted enough time here.
*KEN'S POV*
This was getting old fast. I mean I get it they at least have to try and stop me, but like couldn't you wait till after I'm done taking down the human traffickers. He'll I'd be smart to I'd be more likely to have my guard down, and be more tiered. But no it's always before.
After wrapping up the cut on this old man's foot I reached into the creation bag and pulled out some antibiotics. Handing them over, and giving them some info on how much to take. I closed the bag and moved down the alley waving, and trading hellos with the local homeless. My Senju loadout allowed me to have some peace of mind just helping people helped me emotionally and mentally. Looking forward all my nice thoughts ground to a stop. Ahead of me stood Recovery Girl. Internally screaming my calm and even pace never broke. Coming face to face with recovery girl I stood about half a head taller than her.
Senju:" Hello how may I help you Miss?"
RG:" Oh I don't need any help sweetie, but I've heard that you are quite the medic."
Senju:" Please I just do first aid. Calling me a medic is an insult to real medics and doctors such as you self."
RG:" Not many would be so modest. Do you mind if I join you dearie?"
Senju:" Of coarse not. It would be an honor to work along someone with you skills."
Both walked in a comfortable silence as they stopped here and there, helping with what they could. After a while they both ended up at a bench sitting side by side.
Senju:" Are you here to arrest me?" Ken was genuinely curious. Many have tried to force him to stop, did they send her to try to convince one of "them" to give up?
RG:" I'm afraid so they wanted me to come and speak with you and try to convince you to turn yourself and the other in."
Senju:" *hmmm* I'm a little surprised that you told me. I appreciate the honesty."
RG:" I'm not one for telling lies." After a moment of silence I glanced at her, and noticed that she was staring at the tatoos on my hand. " Aren't you a little young for tattoos sweetie?" Her voice held both worry and some sterness
Senju: "These aren't just tattoos" Holding both hands up so she could see, I continued. "These are reminders. One day these hands will be covered in blood. If that is the blood of an enemy or someone I couldn't save I don't know. I just know that one day they will be covered in blood. And when I look at my hands covered in blood I'll also see the caduceus. A reminder of why I'm here...of why I go on.
I have seen horrible things, and I will continue to see them, because I know the day I turn my back on these people is the day I lose my humanity."
RG:" You know that there are heros for this right? You don't have to do this. You could live a normal life and get a job as a doctor or even as a support hero."
Ken:" Yes I probably could. I could even help these people by bringing problems like this to light. But I know for the years I'm not out here Is countless lives are lost. The world doesn't stop to mourn the dead, and it doesn't speedup for those who are in need.
A small part of me wants to just let the stream that is normalcy carry me away...but if I do that who will be there for them. The heros aren't here neither are the doctors...only me and you."
The silence was long and contemplative. Turning to Recovery Girl I gave a small bow and left without a word.
I had a lot to do and little time to do it. No one was going to stand in my way...I'll make sure of it.
