บท 1: Chapter 1: A child.

It had been a long two weeks filled with far too little sleep, caffeine and leads. At least, that was Shouta Aizawa's opinion. After a brutal fortnight, he had finally gotten one. A love hotel by the name of Midnight Endeavours. The thought alone made him cringe, a horrible name, I'll have to make sure Midnight finds out about the place. Regardless, Aizawa monitored the place for three days before he got evidence and made a plan. Currently, he was perched on its roof, resting a bit after a long and arduous climb, and waiting for the signal from Snipe and Ectoplasm.

Twenty minutes later, an unassuming black car rolled up alongside the front door. A man with slicked back blonde hair in a normal business suit stepped out toward the hotel with a girl on his arm. The earpiece attached to his goggles chirped once:

This is Snipe, target acquired. Go Eraser.

Eraser swung down from the roof onto the penthouse suit's balcony, and slid the door open. He sighed, not even locked. He stepped inside and saw things he'd suspected he might see. One man, four women, and one children. All dead. Only their heads were displayed on shelves around the room. Aizawa analysed the suit with a detached air. No bodies, no gore except for the congealed blood sticking the heads to their shelves. On the bed, sturdy ropes were securely tied, ropes also dangled from the ceiling. Again, secure. A glance to the coffee table revealed more knives than a kitchen needs, along with an uncoiled whip, taser, and three sewing kits. The shower was on. I burst in the bathroom, eyes open wide and sent my capture scarf through the glass of the shower, shattering it. One good beating and a pair of suppressor cuffs later the villain was unconscious and no longer a threat. I left the bathroom, villain chained to the toilet. I began a more in depth search of the area. Besides the heads, and a single dart filled with presumably the new drug "Trigger", there was nothing out of place. Except for a terrible stench of death that was out of place. A few severed heads wouldn't explain it. He was staring at a bookcase, something was off about it.

Eraser, this is Ectoplasm. The building is secure, I am on my way to your location.

"Got it. Drug confirmed, Villain subdued. Something's hidden." Was all he replied with as he started taking books off the shelf and stacking them on the bed. Once everything was off, he tapped the back of it, nodded, then kicked through. He turned on his mic again.

"Got a hidden room here. Get here asap."

Aizawa walked through, combat scarf at the ready. He let his eyes adjust, and ignored the godawful stench. It was rotting meat, shit, an strangely enough a honey smell too. His eyes drifted in the dark room, and landed on a metal cage. A small leg was dangling out of it, inside, a pile of children's bodies. Congealed blood made a pool both in and out of the cage. But that wasn't what had Aizawa's attention. In the cage, cuffed with quirk suppressors, was a boy, squinting at him, not blinking. He was battered, bloodied, with gashes in intricate patterns all over his body which oozed blood out over his pale arms. Aizawa turned on his earpiece.

"Snipe, Call an ambulance, Recovery Girl if she's available. Ectoplasm, bring me at least 3 first aid kits as you can find, mine wont be enough." He clicked off his communicator and cautiously approached the cage before kneeling down, ignoring the corpses for now.

"You alive kid?" He asked dumbly as he fiddled with the lock. He got no reply. "I'm a hero, Eraserhead. I'm here to get you out."

"Please, no more. The others can't take anymore." The boy whispers out in English. Aizawa switches languages.

"It is good that you are alive. I won't hurt you, or the others. I'm the hero Eraserhead. I'm here to get you out." Aizawa once again thanks Hizashi mentally for ensuring he studied English properly.

The boy's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his gaze from the hole in the room to Aizawa again.

"Chloe is still alive. Help her first." He whispered out. "Ginger hair". Aizawa grunted "Asahi might be alive. Sunny red eyes." Aizawa got the cage open, and dragged out the girl with red hair, ignoring the fact he had to kneel on another girls lifeless leg to do so. She was still alive, barely. He clicked on his communicator.

"Snipe, Tell Recovery girl She is needed, Ectoplasm, hurry up, 3 injured, all critical."

He spoke as he immediately bandaged the girls obvious wounds. By the time Ectoplasm arrived he had found Asahi, and was extracting him from the cage, all the while being watched by the boy whose eyes seemed almost dead. Ectoplasm immediately started to help bandage Asahi while one of his clones carried Chloe outside. Asahi was quickly after. Aizawa started extracting the boy out of the cage. He didn't resist. Aizawa kept spoke again as he bandaged up the boy.

"What's your name, kid?"

"Dafydd"

"Where are you from?"

"Britain."

"Where in Britain?"

"Small town, Dyffryn Ardudwy, Wales."

"I will take you to a hospital. Is that ok?" the boy simply nodded "Ectoplasm, check the other kids.". Dafydd's eyes slowly drooped as Aizawa picked him up and took an elevator down to reception and out the front door.

"Thank you… Eraserhead."

Aizawa was worried for the now heavily injured and unconscious Dafydd, and rushed to an ambulance waiting outside. An old small woman using an exaggerated syringe as a walking stood in the back. Aizawa couldn't help but be relieved that she got here so fast.

"I was in the neighbourhood. Put him on that stretcher. I'm taking them to my clinic." Her voice was calm and solemn, as always. "I have seen worse, but on such young children it always hurts." Aizawa knows she is talking to herself as much as to him as she works on the boy. Not using her quirk due to its drawback. No, this boy, and his friends, would likely be scarred for life.
