Eri and Kota waiting patiently for their noodles, as Midoriya paid for two sodas and walked back to the table. He handed a bottle to Dabi, before taking a sip out of his drink.

Shinsou just looked around the shop. It had taken them a few train rides to get all the way to Hosu, but it seemed worth it. Midoriya was familiar with the shop owner, and the two kids really seemed to like the noodles at this particular shop.

It didn't take too long for the food to arrive, and they were all eating peacefully when suddenly, a shrill shriek rang out and the ground started shaking.

"Aw, come on!" Midoriya complained, looking out the window, "This is why I cook all the time! The one time I want to go out and relax, and there's a villain attack! "

"Shouldn't we get out of here?" Shinsou asked, as some of the patrons started hiding under the table to take cover, as the ground shook once more.

"No." Midoriya shook his head, "We don't know what's going on outside, or if it's dangerous. You guys stay here. I'll go check it out and call you if it's safe."

"Don't be ridiculous, Izuku." Dabi growled, as the ground shook again, "You can't go out alone."

"I'll be fine." Midoriya grumbled, "Mother hen."

"I'm not a mother hen!" Dabi huffed, "You literally got kidnapped like... a month ago. Sure, you weren't injured, but that doesn't mean this would turn out the same way!"

"Dabi, chill." Midoriya rolled his eyes, taking out his phone, "Look, there's a bunch of heroes here. It's probably some random villain attack or something. I'll just check it out, and you two stay here and take care of Eri and Kota."

"No." Dabi growled, unamused, as Midoriya whined, "I'll be fine. Don't worry about me! I'm not a baby!"

"If you're going out, then I'm going with you." Shinsou spoke up, "Someone's got to watch your back."

"Fine! But you have to stick with me, okay?" Midoriya sighed, and only then, did Dabi deem it okay for Midoriya to leave the restaurant.

Midoriya and Shinsou crawled out from under the table, and made a break for the door. The greenette yanked the door open, but there didn't seem to be much going on.

"Come on. I think there's some fighting over there." Midoriya pointed down the street, as Shinsou nodded, following behind the greenette.

"So noisy... The idiots have come out, huh? I'll dispose of them later." Akaguro shoved Native against the wall, growling as he raised his katana, "I will do what I should be doing."

"You bastard... Die..." Native hissed, as Akaguro snarled, "If you call yourself a hero, you should choose your last words more carefully."

Suddenly, Akaguro caught sight of an armoured foot and used his katana to pary it away.

"I already let you go once, Ingenium." Akaguro growled, still holding Native against the wall as he aimed katana at Tensei, "Leave, now, before I change my mind."

Tensei just replied, "I didn't expect to see you here, but I cannot let you get away, especially when you're threatening another hero."

Iida just stood behind Tensei, not really sure what to do. Sure, the villian who had hurt his brother was right here, but it wasn't like Tensei had been paralysed for life by the villain; all Akaguro had done was to immobilise him to buy himself time to escape.

"Get out of here." Tensei ordered Iida, as the younger boy protested, "I can't just leave you alone here to face him!"

"A child wearing a suit? Get away." Akaguro growled, "This is no place for children. Be careful what you say. Depending on the situation, children will be my targets as well."

Trying to get the attention off Iida, Tensei rushed in, rearing up for a punch, but Akaguro just sidestepped and slashed open a small hole in Tensei's hero costume, drawing some blood. But that was all Akaguro needed; one lick from his knife left Tensei falling to the ground, paralysed.

Behind his back, Iida quickly sent out a set of coordinates, before he reared up his engines, ready to attack to buy them some time. Iida shot forwards, as Akaguro merely sidestepped again and flicked his helmet off. Akagure tried to drive his blade into Iida's arm, but the blue haired boy managed to avoid his attack.

"No!" Tensei yelled, "Leave him alone, Stain! He's still a kid!"

Iida was doing his best to dodge Akaguro's blade, but finally, the Hero Killer managed to nick him across the cheek, drawing some blood, and licked it off his blade.

"People don't change, Ingenium." Akaguro grumbled, "He will grow up to be the very kind of hero that destroys this city."

Akaguro sensed the heat from behind, and he swerved to the side, watching as orange flames blazed past him, before turning to the entrance of the alleyway.

"Todoroki!?" Iida yelled, eyes widening in shock, as Todoroki dryly replied, "Got a message. My father is aware I'm here, so he'll get here soon. He's trying to fight one of those open brained things."

"Nomus." Tensei muttered, as Todoroki froze the ground over, creating a barrier betweened Akaguro and the downed heroes. Akaguro was forced to dodge the ice, and leapt off the wall, as Todoroki tried to blast him with more ice while creating an ice slide to move all the downed heroes away from the fight.

"What's going on here?" A voice rang out, as Midoriya and Shinsou ran into the alleyway. Todoroki whirled around at the sound, as Akaguro sliced the ice apart and charged at Todoroki.

"Kid, watch out!" Native yelled, but faster than anyone could react, Midoriya shoved Todoroki aside, catching Akaguro's blade on his pocketknife.

"You're as sharp as ever." Akaguro grinned, and Midoriya smirked, "Is that supposed to be a pun, Aki?"

"Maybe." Akaguro slashed his katana again, but Midoriya just parried it away, before turning serious, "So... do I want to know why you're attacking kids? I thought you knew better, young man!"

"I'm sorry? But he was told to run away, and yet, that child in a suit attacked. And people can't change -" Akaguro was cut off as Midoriya snarled, "People don't change? Tell me, Aki? Did I change?"

"I - " Akaguro paused, but that distraction was all Midoriya needed to disarm the taller man, pinning him down, "Stubborn idiots are the ones that can't change. Children are foolish, and they learn from mistakes. You may have spared Ingenium, but you're a famed hero killer that has never left any hero unharmed. And I'm pretty sure the only reason he intervened was because you were threatening Ingenium again. And another hero."

Midoriya stood up, "You going to stop being such a stubborn ass now?"

"Whatever." Akaguro grumbled, and Midoriya smirked, pulling the man up, "So. Besides from killing heroes like a deranged idiot, what have you been up to?"

"You're just... striking a conversation with him?" Native asked, as Todoroki picked him up.

Akaguro just ignore him, "Nothing much. You? The hell you doing here?"

"I just wanted dinner." Midoriya pouted, "And then those stupid nomus showed up."

"Do I even want to know how you're acquainted with the Hero Killer?" Shinsou deadpanned, and Tensei sighed, "It's better not to question it. How are you doing, Izuku?"

Midoriya whirled around, grinning, "Great! Is the paralysis wearing off now?"

"I guess... I can move a bit." Tensei replied, as the smaller boy pulled him up, not seeming to bothered by all the armour the hero was wearing.

"So... what now?" Todoroki asked, and Midoriya pointed to Akaguro, "He's turning himself in."

"Wait what?!" Akaguro turned to the greenette, "You want to repeat that, squirt?"

Midoriya just snorted, "Excuse me, you thought that killing heroes was going to do anything? The more you kill, the more fake heroes are created to fill up those holes you created. You're just creating a never ending cycle of killing. You sure you want that, Mr Licky Licky Stabby Stabby?"

Shinsou immediately covered his mouth, stifling a laugh, "Oh my god, Izuku, you didn't just call him that."

"I did."

Sighing, Midoriya turned serious, "You're a good guy, Aki... just that... you method of doing things isn't going to save the world. If you really want to make a difference... let me help you."

Akaguro just looked at the smaller boy, as everyone fell into silence, before Akaguro turned away, "Fine."

The heroes and students walked out of the alleyway as the rest of the pro heroes arrived.

"Endeavor said there was a request for help here."

"Children?"

"I'll call an ambulance!"

"Oi... isn't that Stain?"

"Why are you standing there and not doing anything about the villain!?"

"Hey. Chill. Leave Stain alone." Midoriya growled, "He's good."

"Who on earth are you?" One of the heroes growled, "And you're saying that villain is good? Are you his accomplice?"

"Let me at them. Fakes." Akaguro growled under his breath, but Midoriya spoke up, "I'll handle this."

"Why are you all in a group!? The villain would have escaped..." Enji growling, having just arrived, and eyed Akaguro, "Things got a little rough... but isn't that Stain?"

"Yes, it's Stain." Tensei nodded, as Akaguro focused his gaze on Enji. He moved, pulling out a knife, "You... Someone must be dyed in blood. I must -"

"I said, I'll handle this."

Midoriya just glared at the Hero Killing, and he froze up, immediately obeying; even he wasn't crazy enough to go against a pissed off Midoriya.

"Midoriya Izuku." Enji growled, "What are you doing here."

"I just wanted some noodles..." Midoriya replied defiantly, as Enji turned to Shinsou, "And you?"

"With Izuku. Seriously, he just wanted to bring the kids out for noodles." Shinsou put his hands up defensively, and Midoriya pointed at Akaguro, "Anyways, he's turning himself in, and I'm going to be dealing with this."

"Wait what?" One of the heros spoke up.

"I said, I'm dealing with this." Midoriya repeated himself, taping his foot impatiently; these idiotic heroes were already getting on his nerves.

"He's the famed Hero Killer." Enji growled, stepping up, "You are not suited to deal with a case like this."

"You want to repeat that?" Midoriya narrowed his eyes, as Todoroki carefully slipping his phone out of his pocket, tapping on the record button.

"I said, you're not suited to deal with a case like this." Enji crossed his arms, "I don't give a shit if you're dealing with minor villains, but you can't deal with S-rank villains."

"You're just a kid." Another hero piped up.

"If I say I'm going to deal with it, then I'm going to deal with it!" Midoriya spat as he took a step forwards menacingly, shuting everyone else up, "You don't butt in, got it?! Now, you call the damned police, and go look into those stupid brainless zombies. I will be in charge of Stain's case, understood?"

Enji blanched, not answering, as Todoroki was recording the entire exchange betwen Midoriya and his father, as Akaguro glanced at Iida, who was equally confused.

"AM I CLEAR!?" Midoriya raised his voice, glowering at the heroes, and Enji growled, before nodding, "Whatever."

"Uh... what's going on?" The hero killer asked, and Tensei blinked, turning to the villain, "Not... sure... actually..."

"Izuku can be... surprisingly scary..." Shinsou sweatdropped, as Iida nodded.
