Chapter Text
The Red Light District. A place where the more quote-on-quote normal people wouldn't dare to be caught dead in. A place where you have the typical businesses and people you can think of. We have the shady bars, the jam-pack clubs, the lovely brothels, and the shitty 24-hour open tattoo shop. Oh!, there is also that crappy convenient store on the street corner.
Now the people are a whole different story. There are different types of people here in the District. The more common are the drug dealers selling their products, two or three hobos lying on the streets, and street fights trying to make some cash. And we can't forget the beautiful sex workers also trying to make some cash.
So, you get the idea of what type of place The Red Light District is.
As I said no 'normal' person would walk the dark streets of the district, so clearly Izuku Midoriya isn't a normal person. As he was walking down the street to the convenience store, there were people around slowly parted like the Red Sea for him.
Izuku Midoriya. A name around the district that is widely known and widely feared. He's known by many things, but he's known mainly by his quirk. His quirk has earned him the name "The Spawn of Satan".
Given that people knew who Izuku was, there were some people who didn't. Exabyte A, this random guy right at this moment. I mean it's not his fault for not knowing who Izuku is but you can feel the dangerous aura surrounding him. So that should let anyone know that he isn't someone you shouldn't be messing with. But then again, people are stupid and don't use their brains or common sense.
Anyways, Izuku was just minding his business walking down the street to the convenience store when this guy bumped his shoulder. "Hey! Watch it!" The guy yells out. Izuku not giving a fuck, keeps on walking. Now, this guy -Let's call him Steve- is annoyed at being ignored, he grabs Izuku's shoulder turning him around to yell in his face.
"What the fuck you brat! Do you think you can bump into me and just walk off!? Huh! Answer me!"
So like I said not many people use their common sense because if they did, they would have noticed the few surrounding people in the street backing away from the two and; more importantly away from Izuku. Although there was this older man across the street smoking sighed, "Oi! You are not around here?" he asked out.
"Huh?! What does that mean?"
"It means you are a fucking idiot for not knowing who you are messing with!" The older man yelled back, while his friend he was smoking with, laughed.
The other people on the street watched the chaos that was brewing because they knew what the older man had just done. You see, Izuku may be a troublemaker, a bad boy, etc, etc, but he does have manners. -Mama raised no bitch- "Shut your mouth, old man! Before I beat you-" Before Steve could finish his sentence, in a flash he was suddenly choked and slammed into the wall next to him. Trying to gather his wits he looked toward who is choking him, only to meet with glowing glaring red eyes.
Fear. That's all he can feel, he couldn't think probably. He couldn't even activate his quirk, which was weak compared to this...this monster. He should have just walked away, he should have just kept his fucking mouth shut, but NOOoo~ he just had to act all tough. Now he's going to die. This fool probably pissed himself.
"Go ahead talk shit about me but never disrespect elders, do you understand?" Izuku spoke in almost a whisper but it was dead silent on the streets that everyone on the said street heard. Izuku can take people talking shit about him but he will never tolerate people who disrespect people who don't deserve it.
With the little movement Steve had, he nods to show he understands. So with that, the pressure around his neck was gone, and fell flat on his ass. Not taking any chance or looking back, Steve stumbled onto his feet and got the hell out of there. Izuku watched as Steve ran with his tail between his legs then turned to the older male and his friend.
"I apologize for my rudeness Jiji-san" Izuku gave a bow showing his respect while the older man just waved it off saying it wasn't his fault.
Giving a final nod before continuing to head down the street. When Izuku finally arrived at the convenience store, he was greeted by the cashier Shin. "Hey man," Shin called out while Izuku just waved. Shin is a 20-year-old -Totally not shady- average guy who worked the night shift at the corner convenience store. He has seen and heard some shit that goes on the streets. -Again not shady at all- So he knows who Izuku is, he's a regular at the store.
"Heard you put someone in their place."
Well, that was quick. It's only been a few minutes but that's the district for ya. -Ahh, the power of gossip- Izuku looked back towards Shin and gave him a small smirk -Nosebleed-, "I merely gave him a suggestion."
Letting out an amused laugh, Shin continued to chat with Izuku as he picked out the number of snacks and drinks he wanted. After getting what he wanted, Izuku went to pay. Shin rang up the snacks before saying, "There have been some strays making a mess."
It was silent for a minute, then it grew tense until Izuku let out a sigh. Shin let out a breath that he didn't he was holding. -Geez- It was always nerve-wracking whenever you were standing in the presents of the 'Spawn of Satan'. "I never get a quiet night huh," mumbling under his breath, Izuku thanked Shin for the information and left with his bag of snacks in hand.
Now here's the thing,
The Red Light District, in general, is a place that people don't venture into for obvious reasons. But there is this one thing that even the police don't go. -𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘎𝘏 pussys 𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘎𝘏- The reason being Izuku, well he and six others are leaders of a literal gang. The District is their territory, it is also considered neutral grounds for other surrounding gangs. So, hearing some low-life strays causing some mess in his territory, his home? Someone has a death wish.
It's been a couple of blocks since Izuku left the convenience store, but it wasn't the way home. He's making his way where the strays were. Earlier when he bumped into Steve, -you know, Steve, the one who pissed himself-, Izuku knew Steve didn't know who he was, of course, that didn't bother him much but Steve should have heard of him. Especially with the description for the 'Spawn of Satan', the glowing red eyes should have a dead giveaway. So Izuku summoned a low-level demon to follow him. It didn't come as a surprise to find the strays in the next alley he walked into.
"Newbies," Izuku thought seeing the way they are trying to be hush-hush about what they are doing, but they're fucking obvious. -It's honestly sad- Izuku stood by the entryway of the alley for a few minutes until finally one of them notice him. "Hey! You freak, got a problem," He looked like the leader of the little group of 5, judging by how he stood. -Cocky and prideful- In all honesty, the guy didn't even look like much. 5'7 - 5'8 at best, a slight bear mutation quirk probably weighs around 200 pounds. -Again not much-
The bear-man was getting annoyed by the lack of answer from Izuku. Before the bear-man can do anything, Steve who was behind the other three underlings grabbed hold of his boss. Steve looked terrified -as he should- because he remembers those eyes. Those terrifying glowing blood-red eyes. "B-b-boss, we n-n-n-need to l-leave" Steve's voice spoke in a whisper, believing any louder would catch those eyes' attention.
"HUH!!? What do you mean leave?!"
And just as Steve feared, those eyes were on him. No No No please no those eyes. And before Steve could do anything -Not like he could- His boss Mister "Big and Bad Bear-Man" shook off the arm and leveled a glare towards Izuku -Who just still stood at the entry of the ally-
Izuku for one is getting bored, don't get him wrong, he still wanted these idiots to leave his territory, but he would have expected some action.
Just then a fist came at him. Ahh, he spoke too soon.
Not a second later, Izuku caught the fist aimed at his face. With a quick tug, the body connected to the arm fell forward. Headbutting with such a force the lackey's face broke and fell unconscious.
Now the fight begins.
Two came at Izuku this time, one had what looked like a knife mutation or transformation judging from the knife-like hands, and the other didn't have any notable features so it had to be a transformation or emitter quirk.
Knife arms came first, sharp blazes straight, aimed to kill. Izuku however was faster, sidestepping towards the left and grabbing the knife arm with his right hand, twisting his whole body so the thug's knife arm is aimed straight at his oncoming partner. Not stopping in time the partner was pierced through the stomach. And not a second to waste, Izuku grabbed knife arms' face and smashed his head into the wall beside him. The force of the slam was enough for the thug to be unconscious with a small stream of blood leaking.
Three down, two to go.
"You're going to regret messing with me," Bear-man growled out trying to intimidate Izuku but all he got in response was a raised eyebrow. Think he was being mocked -Which he kind of was- bear-man gave a roar and charged.
Standing where he was Izuku watched as a bear claw came straight to his face, and before the claw reached him, Izuku was gone from sight. Bear-man didn't have to wait because in the next second Izuku dropped down from where he jumped up and staddled onto the Bear's shoulders. Wrapping his legs tight around bear-man's head, Izuku fell backward using gravity to flip the leader onto the ground. The fight was over in a few minutes. Granted these wannabee gangsters didn't stand a chance against Izuku. -Losers-
Izuku stood back up and looked down at the knocked-out leader. "Seriously that's all you had?" The green-hair teen was disappointed, he would have thought they could have lasted longer. Remembering there was one left, the teen looked over toward Steve. Steve whimpered when he was spotted. At the beginning of the fight, he tried to hide behind a dumpster but he knew he'll be next. He was so going to die. Steve was having a little panic attack that he didn't notice Izuku was in front of him until he yelped when his forehead was flicked.
Looking up, he was once again under the stare of those terrifying blood-red eyes. "Here," Steve looked down at what he was given, to be surprised at the gauzes. The confusion he felt must have been on his face cause the next second he heard, "For your friends, after you're done I want you to leave my District."
Just like that? He wasn't going to beat him up? Was he serious? This guy just fucking demolished four guys like it was nothing, he wasn't even using his quirk.
"Well?" The sharp tone in his voice snapped Steve out of his thought and gave a shaky nod then went over to his friends. Steve was in no way going to anger the guy who just fucked up his friends and boss.
Satisfied, Izuku went over to his bag full of snacks which he dropped at the entrance of the alley. Making sure nothing was trashed, Izuku began to walk out but not before stopping in his step. Tilting his head back and looked at the roof of the building on his left. Locking eyes with the ones on the roof.
