Phantom

-As a monster do I live up your expectations?

For the first time in the day Gran Torino had no idea on what to say, none of the adults seemed to know what to do

It was too much for All Might that couldn't look at the boy without feeling a phantom pain in his side, and look into his eyes without seeing his arch nemesis, even when the boy had two green eyes, he had a look, a demons look

It was too much for Nighteye that have never seen in the future a kid of that monster and he wasn't sure of what part the kid would play, if he would play the heros or villains side, hell he wasn't even sure if the kid would be a hero

It was too much for Tsukauchi that never even manage to interrogate the boy about him being the vigilante Phantom and he already couldn't take anymore of the boy's story, it was simply too much

But Aizawa never knew All for One, he knew Phantom a vigilante that helped him with clues to difficult cases, and that managed to never get caught but that one night he saw crying on a roof after having dismantled a people trafficking gang alone because of the horrors he saw. After cheering the vigilante it became their thing to see each other in the middle of the night in that same roof and say all they wanted to say, it became their little theraphy. Aizawa knew Phantom was a kid, but he didn't thought he would be this young, and he knew he had some problems to work that's why hey created their code.

.

"-So your telling me you have a transformation quirk?- Eraserhead asked, it was a cold night but they had a nice routine and he didn't want to break it

-KInda- Phantom said while looking at the city skyline- I can change my apearance when I want, it hurts if I hold for too much

-Are you using right now?- Eraser was curious, they knew each other for almost a year now, and talked a lot, so even with Phantom all black costume Eraser would like to think he would recognize the boy

-I'm always using it- Phantom said in a sad tone, it seemed like he regreted using the quirk

-Now that's problematic- Eraser looked at the boy

-Why?- does he think is weird?

-What if you're in trouble and need help but I can't recognize you?

Phantom laughed- Oh that kinda of problem, don't worry I won't get in trouble and you're a true hero you help everyone in need

-I don't believe it problem child, trouble follows you- Aizawa tried to sound reassuring- And yes I'm a hero but what I'm saying is if you have any kinda of trouble I am here to help you

'Even if I'm the problem?' the boy thought but didn't voice it- thanks- he whispered it out

-If you're thanking me lets do a code

-A code???- the boy perked up- we sound like spys

-Yeah, if you're ever in trouble call me there and when you see me say some nonsense

-Ahh but that someone can say and not be me - the boy gave it a thought- Okay I know it, if I see you I will say ' fancy seeing you here in this cloudy day under the sun and stars' since we met on a cloudy night, we always meet under the stars and if I'm in trouble we're gonna meet at daytime which means under the sun, genius right?

Aizawa couldn't fight the smile that creep in his face, at least the boy was giving a thought of calling out for help- Yeah it's nice, and on top of that you call my name, Aizawa okay?

-Aizawa- the boy said letting it roll in his tongue, he really liked this idea of having someone to call for help, even thought he planned on never using this code- Okay, but since you suggested it I won't use honorifcs

-You brat, you really are a problem child- And you're becoming my problem"

.

And the kid used the code, he asked for his help. He told a part of the past, a part of his problems and he knew that the boy had problems people don't break the law to become vigilantes just because their happy. Aizawa always knew that, so that's why he was relieved when he saw the kid, the true kid, not the act he was playing. He was a kid and needed to be treated as such. And he always talked about the vigilante with Hizashi and his husband always joked that one day he would adopt the boy just like he did with all stray cats he found. The boy wasn't a cat of course, but he asked for his help, so why not.

-Look I think this is too much for the problem child for just one day- He said more for the kid than for the adults- so we can settle another date where we can discuss with a clearer head- Eraser stared Gran Torino that was still in shock

-I agree with you- Tsukauchi said- but know we need to decide where will the kid go, any ideas?

-I have- Midoriya said coldly- first don't talk as if I'm not here, second I can go back to my apartment and I know you will want to restringe my job as vigilante so I will lay low until next meeting okay?

-Not okay-Aizawa protested- your a kid

-A kid that lives alone for already four years

-I can clearly see that, and your surving on what? Cup noodles and positive thinking?

-Better than you and your two hour sleep for the week and caffeine for blood

-You said I slept just two hours but it seems like you only slept an hour last night

-You fool I slept three hours,I am the heathier one here-Izuku said proudly

Nedzu laughed maniacally starteling everyone- Its decided then since you two have similar habits and competing to see who's healthier will do you two good- the mammal turned to Aizawa- Do you think your husband will mind?

-If we really create an healthy competition I think he will be more than happy to take the problem child

-No but I can't- said Izuku standing up- It's dangerous, I'll only bring you problems, I can't... last time-'greens eyes looking back at him -it will be okay'- last time she didn't come back, I am more than I okay with how I live

-But I am not so you're living with me and thats final

-But I'll bring you problems...- Izuku added in a whisper, he only brought problems to the ones that he cared, his mother could have ran away from that man long ago but she didn't because of me, and when she tried to plan everything she didn't came back. So yes he is better alone not messing up with everyones lifes

-And we will deal with it- Aizawa said while petting the boys hair making eye contact- you used the code now let me do my job and help you, will you let me ?

Will you let me take a place in your life that was once occupied by a monster? Was left unsaid, but he asked in his mind and didn't heard the answers that echoed in the boys eyes

That place is already yours
