"Glitch" [A Vigilante Deku Story]

"Mistakes."

[Monday, 6:45 am]
The alarm goes off.
"Ugh, another day of school." Izuku grumbled, he hated having to wake up so early, and ontop of that he normally went on patrols until around 4 in the morning. "Well, might aswell get ready. I don't wanna be late.". Izuku sat up in his bed, his vision clouded with colors as he realized he got up too fast. This was normal to him by now. He got up and walked over to the bathroom to change, he had layed his clothes out the night before.

He walks over to his backpack and picks it up. should I go on patrol tonight? Yeah, I don't wanna waste time at home while there are still villains out there. He walks out of the door and hurries to school, not wanting to be late. As he was walking to school, he notices Eraserhead. Eraser was one of the many other heros who had been trying to track him down these past few weeks. He almost stopped running, it was as if he couldn't control his body, his body seemed to act as if he was afraid. Instead of stopping, he resisted the urge and carried on running to the school.

1 more week. 1 more week until his school year ended. 1 more week until summer. 1 more week until he had a break.

You may be wondering, where is his mom? Or either of his parents? Well, his mother and father left him when they realized they couldn't handle him, they didn't have enough money. He later escaped the orphanage. He was never put in one again, since no one had known about him escaping, he didn't care that everyone basically ignored him there. It just made it easier to get away if anything.

As he walked to school, he got lost in his thoughts as usual. I should probably leave around 11:30 pm, that way it's night so barely anyone will be out. Yeah, that's probably best. I hope I don't run into kachan today.. his screaming and explosions sometimes get on my nerves. He ran into the school, the sound of the bell pulled him out of his thoughts. Oh no! I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry! He quickly rushed to his classroom, where he sat down and placed his backpack beside him.

[After School, 3:06 pm]
As Izuku walked outside, he noticed Bakugo was talking with his friends. I should go the other way so they don't notice me. As he said that, he ran off the other way, luckily Bakugo didn't notice. When he got to his apartment he put his backpack down and started on his work.

[After he finished his work]
He put his work in his bag, and looked at the time. It's 5:54, I have around 5 hours before I go on patrol. Guess I'll take a nap, I don't really get much sleep anyways. With that, he sets an alarm for 11 pm and falls asleep around 30 minutes after.

[11 pm] (sorry for so many timeskips)
He woke up to the sound of his alarm.
He opens his eyes, blinks a couple times, then looks over at his phone. 11 pm. I have 30 minutes until I leave, I should get ready. He gets up and puts on his costume. (Sorry I dont have a picture rn, so just try and picture it the best you can.)

His outfit was made up of a black (main) and dark green (sub) colored hoodie. He also normally wears a mask, it is a dark grey color. He wears black cargo jeans, normally with a chain attached. (He normally wears the chain for style, but it can come in handy sometimes when fighting too.) He is also wearing his typical red shoes with black laces.

After changing, he gets his backpack (not his school one, he uses a dark grey backpack for patrols.) and puts it on. His backpack contains: 2 blades, each for combat when needed and can be used to escape. A gun, he never uses this unless absolutely necessary, he hates to have to shoot someone when there isnt a need, he already hates harming anyone. A lot of rope, he uses it to tie up the villains when he knocks them out. His phone, he usually takes this to make sure he has the right information on the criminal. His notebook, he has all of the information on villains and quirks he has encountered in the past, this sometimes helps with weaknesses and to write down more information.

He walks out, grabbing his phone on the way and putting it in his backpack. He then pulls his mask up and heads out to patrol.

[Around 20 minutes later, he hears a scream.]

He rushes towards the sound to see a kid screaming and crying while 2 people are dragging him. Kidnapping maybe? Never mind that! I need to help the kid. He quickly goes into the shadows, staying close to the wall and when he is close enough, he jumps over to them preforming a sneak attack and pushes one to the ground. The other one turns around fast and tries to punch Izuku. He dodges, he has seen kachan do this multiple times. He then grabs the guys arm, twists it, and when he yelps out in pain he kicks the guy in the stomach, causing him to loose balance. He then quickly knocks the other out, jumping sideways in time to dodge the man's punch and grabs his arm. When he grabs it, he pulls him over his shoulder, making him fall face down on the concrete, and knocks him out before he can get up.

(Sorry I'm not good at fight scenes)

He walks over to the boy, who is maybe around 13 or 14, around his age. (He is 14 in this story) "You okay?" He asks in a soft voice. "Y-yeah.. t-thank you s-so much for s-saving me..!" He says back, stuttering probably from shock. "No problem!" He says with a soft smile. "Uhm.. what's your name?" The boy asked, eager to know who saved him. "... call me.. Glitch." He replied. (Glitch is his vigilante name) "okay then, Glitch." The boys face brightens as he says it and he slightly smiles and gets up. "I should probably head home now.." the boy says as he walks off. "Now time to tie these guys up."

He walks over to the two villains, now unconscious on the ground, and ties them up with some rope from his bag. Then, he calls the cops, leaving himself as anonymous, and runs off. I should probably get up high, like on a building maybe? That way I can see what's going on down here more clearly.
With that, he climbed up a building using a ladder. I should probably improve on trying to climb up faster. Then I could probably get away easier.

He sat down on the edge, taking in his surroundings. He took a deep breath. There isn't much crime this time of the year, I wonder why. As he sat there he was lost in thought. Mistake one. He didn't notice a certain someone who was sneaking up behind him.

He felt a hand on his shoulder, and his body started to get tense as he looked up to see who it was. He quickly grabbed a blade and stood up in a fighting stance.

I let my guard down! Mistake 2.

"Eraserhead."

[Sorry this was kinda short, I dont really usually like any ideas I come up with. So it's hard for me to write long stories. Also, yes. My art is bad, I know. Well, anyways. If anyone even reads this- thanks for reading this chapter if "Glitch". ^^] - Moon
