"Stain," I shout. Not exactly sure why I announced myself and gave away the element of surprise. He instantly looked directly up to the rooftop I was perched upon.
"You, I've been wanting to see you ever since the last time, I guess fate had it decided." I jump down and land in between the bloodied victim and the hero killer.
"How did you escape prison?" I ask him rather blankly while studying and comforting the man he had just bludgeoned,
"I didn't. I was broken out by that man-child Shigaraki. Not too sure why he freed me since I thought he hated me, but it doesn't matter. At least now I can continue my work."
"What work? Murdering and ending the lives of promising heroes?" I question the man's ideology. As much as I related to his determination, I couldn't agree with the point he was making.
"Promising? Heroes? These people are nothing short of frauds. What I'm doing is making this society stronger. By eliminating the weak, only the strong will remain. And then we can live in a society filled with true champions protecting us."
"And who are you to justify who gets to live and who gets to die?" at this point the hero that was laying on the floor started to speak, not really louder than a whisper,
"Are... you... backup?" I turn back quickly to him,
"No, I was just in the area. Did you call for backup?"
"Yeah... about ten minutes ago..." he was clearly struggling to breathe. I sit him upright so that he was able to breathe better. I close my eyes to focus on danger sense, looking for 'backup' and trying to sense how far away it was,
"Okay, I think they're really close by," almost on cue the sirens of the ambulance and the police could be heard in the distance, "Can you hold out for a little longer?" he nods painfully. I try and look back for Stain, no sign of him. he must have heard me mention the 'backup' and just scattered. Using my sixth sense, I felt that he wasn't too far away... and in fact, he seems to have stopped. Does he want to still speak to me. I spend about next forty seconds comforting the hero, making sure he was okay and eventually the ambulance did arrive. I wished him the best, and soon, it's just me in the street. Stain however hadn't moved. I slowly start walking over, and we meet again in the alley that we were just in,
"You didn't attack me," I tell him. A little curious as to why he just left. It's not like I was aggressing him. I had my attention on the other guy. He could have quite easily attacked me... but...
"Look kid, you're one of the only heroes that I have deemed worthy to be called that name, but if you stand in my way of my mission, I won't hesitate to hurt you."
"You... think I'm worthy?" he didn't really answer. I guess I knew what he meant. That I was kinda like AllMight, in terms of my philosophy. And he seemed to respect AllMight a lot.
"Why don't you try fighting crime... y'know instead of being crime...?"
"The hero life isn't for me. It seems as though I'm the only person willing to get their hands dirty to clean this society,"
"I didn't mean becoming a hero, I meant... y'know, just fighting villains. Stopping the petty crimes that take place. At least until society comes back to normal somewhat." He seems to ponder what I had just told him,
"You mean like, kill the villains?"
"No, not killing... just restraining them and leaving them for the police,"
"Say if i were to fight the villains, why can't I just kill them, it seems easier that way," My goodness. He seems so far removed from normal society; how does he not see that just killing people is wrong.
