Hey guys. Wow, didn't notice it was time to update again... sorry. I've been stressing over a lot lately so I tend to lose track of time...  Also, no real fire extinguishers were harmed in the making of this chapter. (RIP fire extinguisher, you shall be missed.) Also, I had this song on loop the whole time I typed the chapter, so It might have some influence over this chapter and future chapters.  Anyways, here's the next chapter!

Okay, so maybe letting that video get published was a bad idea. Like a really, really, bad idea. Maybe it should have occurred that assholes like him would start chasing after Verde. But hey, at least he got to meet Ingenium. So that's cool. Then again, he should have laid low for a week or two. Well, what's done is done. Izuku sighed as he climbed through his bedroom window. Yes, he scaled the apartments to get in. No, he didn't use the walls! Are you crazy? He used the fire escape. (His mom told him no more nightly training after school today due to crime rates, so he is now using his window to sneak out unnoticed.)So now, as he closed his window and sat on his bed, he started to regret his life choices. Keyword started. You see, despite what just happened tonight, he wanted more. He wanted to feel the thrill of running on the rooftops and street, and the feeling of escaping the heroes that are trying to stop him. It was exhilarating! Despite the fact that he was at a higher risk of being caught now, he still wanted to go out there! That feeling he got whenever he saved someone or stopped an illegal trafficking ring. Then there was Eraserhead. Man, did he love it when Sensei showed up! 

Eraserhead was just so much fun to mess around with. Let's not forget, he's one of the few that don't try to use excessive force like some people do when trying to capture him! If he didn't know better, he might even say Eraserhead is going soft on him. That he's not trying as hard a before. But that's nonsense, right? I mean, why would Eraserhead be going easy on the one kid who drives him bunkers? It's probably because he's a kid. 'Yeah, that's it. Can't accidentally hurt the kid now, right?' Izuku smirked to himself as he pulled his outfit off from his spot on his bed. He had a big burn right on his back. You know, where that piece of flaming trash hit him. Call him spiteful, but Endeavor sucks! I mean, the guy tried to kill him! Like, he tried to use Prominence Burn on him! He could have turned Verde to ash! Like, what the fuck is wrong with him?! That power move completely incinerates the target! Izuku knows the police know he is a kid. So he knows that any Pro that goes after him has that info. So that just proves how much of a douche that flaming turd is! 'oh well, no use in dwelling over the past. Besides, I got my revenge anyways.' Izuku thought as he got under the covers in just his sweat pants. He then preceded to fall asleep. The clock read 11:49 pm.

~~~~~~~~2 and a half hours earlier~~~~~~~~

'There were at least ten heroes out tonight. They must really want to catch Verde, huh?' Verde mused to himself as he neared the area he ran into Shinso the previous night. Oh well, not like they can catch him anyways. A giant flame lit up the sky from a nearby alleyway. 'Fuck, he's out here?!' Izuku quickly dashed into the alleyway next to him and scaled up the fire-escape. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK! Fucking Endeavor is here!!! Hopefully hiding on a rooftop would help me not get noticed by the murderous hero. Wait, why is he allowed to be a hero if he kills people? Nope, not the time to be thinking about that! Got to get away from him before I become bacon!' Izuku was panicking. But could you blame him? This is fucking Endeavor we are talking about! He'll just wait on this rooftop for him to leave.

After about ten minutes of waiting, Endeavor finally left towards the east side of Verde's patrol area. Well then, guess we know where Verde is not patrolling tonight. With a sigh of relief, Verde slowly made his way down the fire-escape and headed further into his patrol area. Maybe he'll be lucky and not run into anyone? Is that too much to ask? Of course, it is. Verde groaned at the thought of how frustrating tonight was going to be. At least, no other heroes were in sight right now. That's good, right?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of someone... running? Yeah, running could be heard. Like super fast running. Verde started into a sprint to get towards the alteration going on in the warehouse he spotted Shinso on the other night. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew he had to help out. Making it to the warehouse, Verde snuck in through a broken window, trying not to be seen. Inside the warehouse was rather dark and hard to see, but that didn't stop the thug that was shooting at- wait, INGENIUM?!

"You can't outrun my quirk suppressant bullets forever Hero! Quirks are a disease I will purge!" the guy with the gun exclaimed.

He had this weird bird mask thing on... it looked familiar...HOLY SHIT! He's with the Yakuza. But not just any member... OVERHAUL!!!!! (See? I'm adding characters quite a few chapters earlier. Though, don't expect a fight anytime soon. Eri is going to have to wait to be saved!) Quickly disregarding any sense of logic and common sense he had, Verde made it to a spot in the rafters above Overhaul and threw a whole pouch of sand on him. Then, like the idiot he is, he jumps down, off the fucking rafters, swinging his bo-staff straight at Overhaul. Of course, Overhaul stopped him by manipulating the ground to block him. Verde just jumped off the concrete wall that he landed on and moved away from Overhaul, and closer to the now non-running Ingenium. 'Some sort of manipulation quirk? But is it concrete based like Cementoss, or is it a matter manipulation? Either way, there's no way I am going to test it out.'

"Overhaul, huh. What brings you to my neck of the woods? I do hope you're not trying to kill anyone because that is a big no-no you know!" Verde inquired with pure sass.

Overhaul did not seem enthused ."Insolent child, stay out of my-"

"Wow, rude! Like I'm just going to sit back while man babies like you terrorize my home. I don't know who you think you are, but I will not stand by while assholes like you are walking about!" Verde snarked.

"I am Overhaul-"

"No shit Sherlock." Verde scoffed with an eye-roll (which couldn't be seen XD). "Doesn't make you all high and mighty though."

Overhaul narrowed his eyes at Verde as he aimed his gun at him.

"Seriously? You thin quirk suppressants will take me down?" Verde laughed. "What, you think it's some analysis or thinking quirk? Give me a break! Shooting me won't make me any less of an opponent. Sure, I'll have a wound, but It won't change how I fight. Then again, it's not like you could hit me anyways."

Verde immediately moved to the side to escape a bullet. "See, you missed me."

"Kid, are you crazy? Don't antagonize him!" Ingenium scolded as he picked up Verde and ran off with him to get him away from Overhaul.

"Hey! I am perfectly capable of fighting on my own! I've fought against guys with guns before, you know!" Verde fumed as he clung for dear life to not fall while the sonic wannabe was running.

"Yeah, Eraserhead and Present Mic seem to never shut up about how close to death you can come every night." Ingenium mused.

"Awe, I knew they cared!" Verde dramatically exclaimed.

"You go out of your way to be antagonizing, don't you?"

"I find people not only underestimate me like this but also that people tend to not act rationally when they're annoyed." Verde noted.

"Yeah, well it also tends to get you shot at. Man, you're just as crazy as Koichi!" Ingenium laughed.

"Who?" Verde puzzled.

"Crawler. He was as reckless and crazy as you when he started out." Ingenium replied with a smile. (But it couldn't be seen through the helmet!)

"You know the Crawler?! So cool!!" Verde gushed.

"Yeah, well don't go around telling people his name." Ingenium laughed as they reached a room on the second floor of the warehouse.

"I would never! He's so cool! The way he helps people out is amazing! He's almost as cool as Eraserhead!" Verde beamed as Ingenium put him down.

"You're a fan of Eraserhead, huh? Is that why you give him near heart attacks every night?" Ingenium chuckled.

"Awe, he worries about my safety? Yay! Eraser-dad rules!" Verde sang.

Ingenium choked on air replying, "E-eraser-dad? Oh my- ha. That's great."

"Um, Overhaul is getting away..." Verde suddenly faltered, while looking out the window nearby. 

"Sigh... It doesn't matter. What does matter was stopping you from getting yourself killed. You should be more careful next time!" Ingenium scolded.

A bright flame of fire can be seen off in the distance.

"Uh, that is great and all, but I should go before Endeavor shows up and fries me." Verde laughed as he jumped out the window- 'OMG HE JUMPED OUT A WINDOW! ERASERHEAD IS GOING TO KILL ME IF HE DIES!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO-' 

"I'm okay!" Verde shouted, causing Ingenium to look out the window and see the damn reckless asshole giving him a thumbs up from his spot in a dumpster.

Ingenium felt his heartbeat slowly return to normal as he sighed. This kid would be the death of him. No wonder Eraserhead wanted him off the street; he so reckless and cheeky. About a minute after he left, Endeavor appeared!

"Where's the villain?" Endeavor growled.

"He got away while I was getting a rather reckless civilian out of danger." Ingenium sighed.

"It wasn't that damn Vigilante, was it? I'll roast that brat if I see him!" Endeavor fumed.

'Maybe I shouldn't tell him where he left then... Eraserhead would kill me if Endeavor killed the kid!'

"You do realize Verde is like 14, right? You can't exactly go around trying to kill him." Ingenium groaned.

"He's a villain and villains must be vanquished!" Endeavor scoffed.

"Uh-huh, well I got to get back to my patrol so please refrain from murdering a kid." Ingenium exasperated. 

It was only 9:41 and he could already tell tonight was going to be a long one.

~~~~1 hour later (10:41pm)~~~~

Verde had successfully managed to avoid most heroes. He did run into Snipe but used Snipe's shock at his size to get away. Apparently, it seems Snipe didn't get the memo of how young Verde was. That or he just simply didn't believe it. Then there was Midnight, who immediately started to fuss over him after realizing how small he was. Like, was it really that hard to believe he was a kid? And why are they treating him like this when they do realize he is a kid? Verde did not like this special treatment he got. I mean, he wasn't made of glass and just because he's a kid doesn't mean they got to act like he needed to be swaddled in bubble wrap! Verde scoffed at the very idea of such a notion as he climbed through the warehouse window. There was a drug deal going on in the small warehouse, and he planned to stop it.  However, what he wasn't planning on was for fucking Endeavor to show up not even a minute into his fight with the thugs! Verde had climbed into the rafters, because who doesn't love rafters, and prepared to jump onto the guy under him. With his baton in his hands, he pushed off the rafters and toppled the thug below. 

He then twirled his baton while cheekily exclaiming, "Sorry to drop in, but I couldn't help but crash the party."

"Get him!" Exclaimed the leader.

"Come at me Bitches!" Verde laughed.

 Just then a fireball was launched at him. Verde quickly ducked and rolled out of the way.

"Oh shit! It's Endeavor!" thug number one screamed.

"Run!" thug number two shrieked as he pissed his pants.

'Shit. He nearly killed me!' Verde thought in panic as he quickly got up and ran towards a window nearby. 'Nope! Not today!' he told himself as he jumped out the window and ran for dear life. 

"Get back here you brat!" Endeavor exploded as he sent another fireball at Verde.

Dodging the fireball, Verde quipped, "No thanks! I'd rather not be burnt alive today!"

This only got five more fireballs launched his way. Verde managed to dodge all of them but one, which grazed his back as he turned into an alleyway. In the alleyway, he founded the perfect defense. It was something that would show Endeavor not to mess with a vigilante. It was definitely something that would probably piss him off. It was a fire extinguisher! With a sly grin, Verde faced the entrance of the alleyway, aiming the fire extinguisher towards where Endeavor would show up. And true to his predictions, the asshole showed up, only to get drenched in whatever is in a fire extinguisher. The current mood of the hero? Let's try pure rage. Yeah, that works.

"As much as I'd just love to be burnt to crisp, I got to go!" Verde jested.

And with that, Verde scampered up the fire escape and used to rooftops to get away. All the while he was laughing because what else could one do when they were in shock? He really didn't know what else to do but laugh. He nearly died at the hands of Endeavor, only to escape by putting him out like a fire! He can't even believe it actually worked! Who knew all it took to defeat Endeavor was a fire extinguisher? The very notion of what happened was so bizarre, that Verde couldn't stop laughing. He was laughing so hard that you could hear it from at least half a mile. He actually had to stop running after a minute or so because he couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. Surprisingly, his laugh wasn't creepy despite the voice changer he had on. It honestly sounded like the laughter of a deep-voiced child. Suddenly, he was yanked off his feet by Eraserhead's capture scarf. This did nothing to stop his laughter. Ingenium and Present Mic were with Eraserhead, looking at the now bound teen, who was dying from laughter on the ground.

"Did he run into Ms. Joke or something?" Ingenium asked.

Verde was practically shaking from laughter at this point. 

"I don't think so..? She doesn't have a patrol tonight." Present Mic responded.

"Hahahaha- Endeavor was chasing me and- hahahaha- and he was shooting fireballs at me- a-and hahaha- I ran into an alleyway and grabbed a fire extinguisher and- gasp- I shot him with it! Hahahahahaha! He looked so pissed, but that's what he gets for- hahaha- for trying to kill me!" Verde managed to get out.

"Damn it! I told him not to kill you!" Ingenium sighed.

"Why are you laughing? That's not funny. You could have died." Eraserhead deadpanned.

"Because I almost died and only survived because Endeavor lost to a fire extinguisher! Pfft." Verde choked out.

Verde then winced as the capture gear rubbed against his back.

"Are you hurt? You just winced! OMG, he's hurt!" Present Mic fretted.

"It's just a burn. Not like it's a big deal." Verde scoffed.

"He burned you?!" Eraserhead screeched, while accidentally losing his grip on his capture gear.

Verde quickly took advantage of the now loose scarf and shot out of it. He then warily moved back a foot or two from the three pro heroes.

"I mean, he grazed my back, so it isn't that bad. It probably won't scar. Probably. Like there's a small chance it will, but I'm not worried. Besides, I should be more worried about the fact that some heroes are okay with killing children. Like, talk about rude! Can you believe that guy? Who the fuck tries to kill children? Is it safe for his children? I mean, he obviously has no regard for the lives of children, so it makes one wonder how home life is for his kids... I should probably look into that-" Verde ranted.

"Problem Child, calm down. And please don't go around and spy on Endeavor. We really don't need a dead child on our conscious." Eraserhead groaned.

"Awe, so you do care." Verde cheekily gasped.

"I will arrest you despite you being injured Problem Child." Eraserhead threatened.

"Gee, no need to be mean Eraserhead. You're such a dad." Verde whined.

Eraserhead just breathed in deeply, trying to not lose his cool with this insufferable brat in front of him. It was like he was trying to give him a heart attack! What was he going to do with his problem child? This kid was going to be the end of him!

"Why? Just why? Why are you like this? What is making you put your life on the line every night? Someone your age should be sleeping at this time, not fighting thugs!" Eraserhead exasperated.

"Well, maybe I don't want to sleep. Maybe I want to help. Do you know how few heroes patrol this area? Do you? Before I came along, you were the only hero that was out here fighting. Hell, and even then, you didn't patrol till much later into the night! No one cares about this area. There's no news outlet or big-time crooks to fight. Why would the other heroes come out to help us if there was no way for them to gain praise for it? I just wanted to help when no one else would. I guess I just got sick of watching people suffer because no one was there to save the day. No one was there to stop crime. Besides, there's something about helping others that makes me feel great, you know? It's like an overpowering feeling! Like I'm being overpowered by this supernatural force! It's... it's phenomenal. It's surreal. Like for once in my life, I have a purpose.  It's like... I just can't stop! It's like I have to help others. Like my sole purpose in life is to help them. You can't help what the heart longs for." Verde proclaimed while waving his arms about dramatically.

"Oh my... he's just like the Crawler!" Present Mic squealed.

"That's what I said!" Ingenium smiled.

"Great, there's two of them." Eraserhead groaned.

"The Crawler is so cool! Like, he's the best Vigilante ever!" Verde beamed.

"Not as cool as Eraserhead though, huh?" Ingenium quipped.

"GASP! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!!! I TRUSTED YOU!" Verde cried out dramatically.

"Yeah, I promised nothing. But, earlier he was all like-"

"Nooooo, stop Ingenium!" Verde whined.

"He was full fanboy over the Crawler. He claimed he was so cool but not as cool as you are. Ha, he calls you Eraser-dad and-" Ingenium laughed.

"INGENIUM, nooooooo, stop talking. Quit it. stop. Don't tell them." Verde begged.

"I think he annoys you because you're his favorite hero? I'm not sure, but he definitely is a hero otaku." Ingenium teased.

Verde just fumed, "Why? How could you do this to me? I thought you were cool!" 

"You're so cute when you're mad!" Ingenium mused.

"I'm not cute!" Verde grumbled with his arms crossed.

Ingenium took a picture of him and said, "This is my new wallpaper!"

"Why would you think I'm cute? What's cute about a vigilante?" Verde continued to complain.

"You're short and can be cheeky at times. You're also a cinnamon roll, and dear lord your very demeanor makes me want to swaddle you up in bubble wrap and protect you!" Ingenium explained.

"So? That doesn't make me cute." Verde responded.

"Yes, it does! Like I've only known you for like an hour, but I already have the 'I'll kill everyone in the room then myself if you get hurt' feeling." Ingenium argued.

"Was that a meme from the early 2000s?" Verde laughed.

"Yes, so what? It explains how I feel so deal with it. And please don't get yourself killed!" Ingenium sighed.

"I'm gonna jet before this gets any more awkward... see ya Eraser-dad!" Verde laughed nervously before he ran away as fast as he could. 

"...Eraser-dad? pfft. That's so cute!" Present Mic squealed.

"Quit squealing, it's annoying." Eraserhead complained as he hid his face in his capture gear.

"Are you embarrassed that your problem child sees you as a dad figure?" Ingenium grinned with a teasing voice.

"He's not my kid." Eraserhead growled.

"Sure, sure. Because you totally didn't freak out when you heard Endeavor hit him with a fireball." Present Mic laughed.

"He's a kid! He could have died!" Eraserhead argued.

"Just admit it, you want to protect him from everything, right?" Ingenium coaxed.

"Ugh, Problem Child is annoying and so reckless! I just don't like it that he's out there constantly putting himself in life and death scenarios!" Eraserhead sighed. "Fine, I do care. He's like an annoying little brother that you must protect at all times."

"Awe, see? Was that so hard? But seriously. I hope he's alright. Getting burned by Endeavor has got to hurt." Present Mic sighed.

"Time will only tell. But if I see that flame-head at all this week, I might just have a body to bury." Eraserhead swore.

It was 11:20. In an alleyway sat a burnt fire extinguisher. Probably burned to crisp by an asshole.

~~~~~At the Todoroki household~~~~~

Shouto Todoroki was a simple child. He wanted to be a hero like everyone else. However, his old man ruined that dream for him a long time ago. So while he was simple, he wasn't your typical kid. He didn't watch cartoons all day or hang out with friends. He didn't rough play with his siblings or have family movie nights. Nope. He had training and pain. He didn't get to hang out with his siblings and his mother was taken away a long time ago. So really, was it any surprise he was up researching the latest subject of his father's anger? His dad was going on and on about how much he wanted to kill Verde. And you know what? A new video was posted ten minutes ago by PurpleZombie. It was called "Endeavor Tries to Kill Kid Vigilante; Kid Decides To Extinguish The Firey Tempered Man". It already had a few thousand views. 

It was taken from the rooftops, and it started with Verde running away from Endeavor screaming, "No thanks! I'd rather not get burnt today!" 

It then proceeded to show him grab the fire extinguisher and basically put his father's fire out. It ended with a shocked and enraged Endeavor and a laughing Verde running off. Todoroki never felt the desire to laugh so bad in his life. His father so deserved it too. Smiling, he scrolled down to the comments section to join in on the discussion.

Mashi101: PurpleZombie, damn it! You actually got another video of Verde? I'm so jealous!

-PurpleZombie: @Mashi101, you can't blame me for filming this though, can you?

--Mashi101: No... @PurpleZombie not really. Poor Verde though. I hope he didn't get too hurt. Can't believe Endeavor would attack a 15 yr old Vigilante.

---Shouto_Todoroki: @Mashi101 believe it. My father tends to be rather violent at times.

Tired_24/7: So this is what problem child was talking about. 

-PurpleZombie: @Tired_24/7 are you one of the pros after him?

--Tired_24/7: @PurpleZombie sadly, yes. That kid will be the death of me.

---PurpleZombie: @Tired_24/7 nice to know that some pros worry about his well being and don't plan on killing him.

----Tired_24/7: @PurpleZombie I'm pretty sure that's just an Endeavor thing.

-----Shouto_Todoroki: @PurpleZombie @Tired_24/7 I am so sorry for my father's actions. He tends to be rather unfriendly at times.

------PurpleZombie: @Shouto_Todoroki Bless your soul, you live with the man.

-------Shouto_Todoroki: @PurpleZombie Thanks, but you get used to it.

Guest1_23: Man, I thought Endeavor was cool, but attacking a kid Vigilante is not cool. I'm no longer a fan of him. #FlamingTrash

Tenya_Iida: While I do not condemn Vigilantism, Endeavor did cross the line in trying to kill him. especially if he is only 14 as @Mashi101 mentioned in a previous comment chain.

-Real_Ingenium: @Tenya_Iida why are you up so late? Also, Verde is just so precious! He's a tiny little 14 or 15 yr old that must be protected! I swear he's so precious, it surreal! I just want to wrap him up in bubble wrap and never let him leave my sight!

--Tenya_Iida: @Real_Ingenium Brother? You have met the vigilante? So he really is 15? Please don't tell me you're going to try to be his friend like you do with all the other Vigilantes. You're going to get yourself into trouble one day! Besides, he shouldn't be a vigilante at that age!

Todoroki smiled as he exited YouTube and crawled into bed. Tomorrow was going to be fun. He can't wait to see what chaos will unfold from that video. If only Ojiro would tell him who PurpleZombie is. He did see Ojiro and Midoriya walking with a Purple haired boy who looked like he could be Sensei's illegitimate lovechild. Perhaps he was the you-tuber. Todoroki would have to ask the guy tomorrow. Great, that meant actually talking to someone.

And done! Here you go! So eraser-dad is a thing now... yep.  Also, I will 100% try to draw a scene from this chapter if someone requests it. Just remember I am not good at the anatomy of anime yet so I can't do that many poses.
