The Voice of the World

Ever since her Quirk awakened...

It was a pain in the ass to her.

The world tells her what to do for her own good as well as that of her mother's.

The world would tell her to do this and that when.

The world was her teacher. Better teacher than school teachers, at least.

Her mother is a housewife. Her father was someone who wasn't home often due to work. Japan sucks at salary paying. At least he video calls.

She was said to be a Composite. A mix of pyrokinetic and psychic powers as her mom was a minor telekinetic, and her father a firebreather.

But she can 'hear the world' that she was a mix of psychic powers and Pyrokinetic.

If only it was THAT simple.

IT WASN'T!

But the world says to keep it quiet or she'll be in danger from bad humans. She did.

So she fibbed that her Quirk is Pyrokinesis and had her parents register it that way.

She lied to everyone outside home as it was impossible to explain her other quirk.

She grows up knowing many things and grew up well.

Right now, at age 5...she's on a rooftop that night, where she sat on the edge.

'H-hey kid, you're not thinking what I think you're about to do?!' a man spoke out worriedly.

'Nope. I did this to get your attention, Mr. Eraserhead.' said the girl, facing him as she turned around to face him. 'I'm having trouble as the world won't shut up unless some stuff is done...can I ask you to help me?' she asked him. 'By helping me, your capture rates will skyrocket and my pain-in-the-ass quirk will shut up at least for a short while and give me some peace in exchange.'

'...say if I agree, what's your Quirk?'

'It's an abnormal mutate of my parents' but also a dual quirk at the same time.' said the girl miserably. 'I get information overload and the world won't damn shut up. It works as a danger radar and a mix of Clairvoyance, Claircognizance, Clairaudience and Psychometry and a Pyro side from my dad. The only way to tune down the volume is if stuff is done but I'm five years old...can't even be a Vigilante.'

The man behind her dressed in all black looking like a hobo frowned at how miserable the girl looked. She has shoulder-length green hair tied in low pigtails, dressed in a white shirt, sporty jersey and shorts. She has matching gray eyes and kinda cute.

'I'd rather you not.' he said flatly, twitching. 'Why me of all people and not All Might or something?'

'You're not flashy but super-efficient, pragmatic, logical and cool-headed. You're not above dirty tricks as long as you arrest a bad guy and minimize the troubles they cause creatively.' Eraserhead raised an eyebrow about that. 'Other Heroes are too flashy warranting property damage or wants to be in the limelight and I don't wanna. I'll get dragged into it and that means getting unwanted attention from All-Might's most dangerous enemy who can steal quirks for himself. Hell no.'

A quirk user who can steal quirks.

Girlie implied he can use said stolen quirks.

'Someone like that is around?! How come I didn't know this?!' he demanded, horrified.

'On All Might's wish, very few people know of the villain All-For-One. That's his name. He wants less people to know, which means less idiots who'll hunt him down for fame, only to lose and just empower him more. You might wanna ask an Officer Tsukauchi Naomasa about that and his office isn't bugged. Most Heroes these days are only in it for fame and money thus mostly idiots who are just more trouble than they're worth. They make me sick.' said the girl in disgust. 'If they want fame they could've done film industry work or a modeling career.'

'Ooh, burn...that's harsh of you.' Eraserhead chuckled with a fake wince. 'So if I help you solve cases, will it help your quirk?'

'Somehow...for now, all of Musutafu is in my range. For now my 'world' is kinda small and I prefer it that way. I'll suffer more if my range got bigger so I'm training my flames instead.' the girl got off the edge of the rooftop to pick up a notebook and gave it to him. 'Here, your jobs for the month. Some stuff you need help with so phone mentioned Heroes in advance if they're available on a particular day in that notebook. You're gonna need them big time.'

'I'll take you home now problem child, come on.' and Eraserhead picked her up and he used Parkour to get around. 'So what's your name?'

'Midoriya Izuku.' said Izuku. 'Help me get some peace and quiet, and you're gonna be busy with good pay. Oh yeah, invest harder in gymnastics, acrobatics, MMA and reaching your physical peak too by eating healthy as junk food is just that, junk and don't you dare grow huge muscles either as your true value lies in your speed, agility and lightness. You'll master your weapon faster.'

'Mm. By the way where do you live?'

A month later...

'Hey Eraserhead, you're becoming a frequent sight lately.' said the Police Chief. 'Sometimes solo sometimes with a team.'

'Yeah, well I gotta do my work as Hero right? Can't exactly be one sitting in a bar with some Margarita.' Eraserhead snorted. The chief chuckled at his snarkiness.

'True.' the man nodded. 'The Hero Commission's starting to notice you.' he said, editing Eraserhead's record. With so many arrests, his pay this month is ginormous. 7-digits ginormous.

'I'd rather stay Underground, thanks. Limelight's a pain in the ass.' Eraserhead drawled. 'I'll do my job in the dark where darkness is my ally and haul idiots to your prison.'

The Chief laughed.

'By the way, is an Officer Tsukauchi Naomasa available?'

'Today? Yeah. Tomorrow, schedule fully-booked due to a whole lot of shitstorm we'll be facing.' the Chief sighed gloomily. 'See him today as the next couple years, we're up to gills in work we don't even have time for our own families. My wife isn't happy but operation is operation for the sake of people...she knows I'm doing my part in protecting people too as well as her and our kids.'

Detective Tsukauchi's Office...

'I heard you wanted to see me?' Detective Tsukauchi asked genially, welcoming Eraserhead. 'Is there anything I can do for you?'

'Yeah...such as telling me who All-for-One is.' the other man looked at Eraserhead in horror at this.

'Where'd you hear that name?!'

'...a problem child.' said Eraserhead. 'I can understand that the entire list of Heroes bar few who have needed skills are unaware of the Quirk-Thief.'

'With good reason...he somehow has links to many clinics and is responsible for the astronomical rise of Quirkless people because he likes their Quirks.' he said in disgust. 'Those he stole from are brain-dead as a result. Not to mention he raised a massive criminal empire at that, that gave Japan and other countries a massive headache with grief to match. Keep this to yourself.'

'Yeah. Problem Child warned me that if a lot of Heroes know, most of whom idiots, they'll empower him more in their mad quest for fame upon defeat.' said Eraserhead as he gave Tsukauchi a piece of paper. 'You may want to visit my little problem. From her justified fears, she understandably lied about her Quirk Registry but she trusts and vouches for you as your office isn't bugged unlike the rest of the important offices in any station in Japan. Its nice being underestimated.'

The man choked at that.

Tsukauchi found himself in front of an apartment building.

He had burned the paper he got from Eraserhead before coming here.

He got off his car in the Parking Lot, and made his way upstairs to third floor and looked for the door with the nameplate. He rang the doorbell.

'Yes?'

'Midoriya-san, it's Tsukauchi.'

'Come in.' a slim woman with a gentle, innocent face let him in. She has green hair and eyes with fair skin. 'My daughter said she'll skip kindergarten today because you'll come.'

'Mm.' and Midoriya Inko led him to the living room to come face to face with a little girl whose eyes do NOT belong on a child. It was like, 'she's seen it all'. She got her mother's colors and partially her looks, but with a cute set of patterned freckles on each cheek in a diamond formation.

'Nice to finally meet you.' said Izuku. 'I knew Eraserhead will tell you about me.'

She even speaks in a tone no child should!

'Yeah. He recommended I see you. He's gotten notoriety for a lot of work lately. He's gotten 15 arrests this month alone and for solo Heroes with no agency nor connections, that's an amazing feat.' said Tsukauchi. 'But how exactly did you do it?'

'I have a Dual Mutated Composite Quirk that enabled me to see and hear everything...along with my Pyrokinesis.' said Izuku. 'And I have no choice but to be a Hero one day as the information I gain, is about Criminal Activity. And as I can't do squat, I approached Eraserhead. If I approached a flashy Hero and his records skyrocket, he or she will get the unwanted attention of 'that man'. Eraserhead is subtle, everything I want and need to shut up my world for at least a month. By informing him, my world goes silent, I get peace and quiet for a month as the problems I gave will finally be addressed in that time period.'

What a Quirk, Tsukauchi thought. Her world is noisy and only goes quiet if her problems are dealt with?

'My world ever since I turned four, my world was noisy, crying for help against bad things...but I couldn't do anything. I had to wait for Eraserhead to be strong enough against the stuff I get. He will keep my secret down to the bitter end and so will you. I can't trust anyone else with me, not with that guy running around!' Izuku lamented.

'I feel for you, Izuku-chan.' said Tsukauchi sympathetically. She can only trust ONE HERO in the country to help her get peace and quiet! She can't even trust All-Might of all people with herself! How messed up is that?!

'I will remain being his informant about Musutafu since my world is thankfully limited to city-sized worlds only.' said Izuku. 'Being an Informant isn't exactly Vigilantism anyway and Eraserhead pays me 1/4 of what commission he gets in Hero Work since he feels its unfair he gets a lot while I don't get any and I'm technically working. He really should try being me one of these days.' she chuckled bitterly.

'Ahahaha...'

Izuku took out a notebook behind her back.

'Here. YOUR job in this city for this month. Have fun.'

The notebook was labelled 'Crime under Duress'.

'Er...?'

'They are innocent people forced to do bad things under desperation, threats and blackmail.' said Izuku. 'That's right up your alley because they also need saving from the real bad guys, so go get Heroes with Empathy while you decide their fates. Your job starts tonight so start reading~oh, and this too.' a notebook titled 'Extremely Classified'.

Tsukauchi sweatdropped.

'One last question before I take action on these missions I got from you...' said Tsukauchi. 'You can't trust All-Might either with you and why?'

'He indeed has his heart in the right place, a Hero worthy of great respect and admiration...but as he is now, anger clouds his heart as well as desperation. And desperate people does stupid things and his kind of stupid will get me and my parents killed.' Izuku's words brought a chill to the adults with her. 'And my Mutated Clairvoyance taken by that one enemy and with my Quirk, he'll be unstoppable nobody in the world can stop him anymore. Nothing short of aiming a Nuclear Missile at him at least and sacrificing a city just to put an end to his massive criminal empire.'

Tsukauchi paled in horror as Inko looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Little did he know that getting involved with Izuku gets him more than what he bargained for...

When he left...

'Honey...' Inko fretted. Izuku sighed.

'It's all true, mom...it's what I see and hear within this city...' said Izuku softly. 'Aaahhh...it'll be my second month of peace...' she said in wistful bliss, happily lying down on the couch. '-at least until I learn I can turn this stupid thing off somehow...' she moaned unhappily. 'I'm in for a wild ride of my life.'

'Oh dear...'

'So mom, I'll sign up for after school training OK?'
