CHAPTER START---
SHAMBLES!
Horizon swaps with a lamp on the second floor of the bank, wearing a small camera on his tie from the police officers. Casually walking he hears frantic pacing downstairs, boots clattering on the stone tile.
Looking over the second-floor balcony he sees a man in a simple black suit, an automatic rifle in one hand and a detonator in the other. He wore a balaclava mask on his head, only showing his eyes and mouth, all plain looking.
Horizon slowly draws his sword, making sure the camera he's wearing gets a good show, and endpoints it at the man.
He gently swings his sword, the white blade and blue edge move as he speaks quietly, just barely enough for the camera to hear.
"Amputate." The man's hand with the detonator is lopped off at the wrist, yet he doesn't feel anything or even react.
"Shambles," the hand swaps for one of Horizon's cards, and he immediately applies pressure to the thumb, making sure it can't leave the trigger.
Feeling the pressure now on his hand the man panics and raises his left hand to look at it, only to freeze, seeing his bone and flesh exposed yet still feeling his hand.
"AHHHHH!" He shrieks in shock.
"Amputate," Horizon slashes once more, this time destroying the rifle the man held.
The man didn't even notice the rifle being bisected as he just drops to his knees, scared and confused as he clutches his wrist with his one remaining hand.
Horizon takes the time to stroll down the large staircase to the main floor, walking past all the bombs and clearing his throat for the man to look up at him.
Through his teary and scared eyes, Horizon looked like a monster, a demon. The detonator in his left hand, and a severed hand in his right, yet he carried himself as if it were completely normal.
"What did you do to me?" The man asks in a shaky voice, looking down to see his wrist wasn't even bleeding.
"Relax, it doesn't hurt, I'll put it back when you're arrested...I mean how else would the handcuffs work," Horizon shrugs.
"I'll be ok?"
"You'll be ok, just walk outside and hand yourself over..."
And that's exactly what happened, clutching his severed hand the man walks outside without his mask on, peacefully handing himself over to the police.
And the bystanders and officers alike cheer for Horizon, as he resolves his first big incident. A bright start for their future Hero.
The bomb squad rushes in, and one of them stops by Horizon.
"I didn't touch the bombs," Horizon says as he carefully hands over the detonator to the man.
"Well done, good work Hero," the man quickly nods and rushes off to join his men.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
'Well that's a first...and I'm already sick of it,' Horizon thinks.
Horizon quickly calls one of the officers over and hands him the served limb and body camera, leaving the man thoroughly disgusted and shocked as he walks away. Seeing Burnin talking to the captain.
"Well look who finally showed up," he says to Burnin.
He sees the 1A group chat going wild with everyone asking him how the bank situation was and if he's ok, he looks at the messages but doesn't bother responding.
Then he gets three messages. One from Sero telling him how cool he looked on the news. Another from Jiro asking if he's ok.
And finally a message from Momo that read, 'I hope you're alright, it seems at least one of us is doing real heroic things at our internship...'
Horizon just raises a brow at it and leaves her on 'seen' like the others. He had bigger things to worry about than their poor choices.
Finishing his meal bar and drinking some water he goes down to the basics to figure out exactly how to solve his current problem.
'Ok, what do I know?
I know my Quirk works in a sphere.
I know that the ROOM always extends with me in the middle.
My own universe where I'm the center of it, as a god should be.
I know once I'm in there I'm powerful.
...But today I realized that my lifestyle has always been me fighting somewhat on my own terms.
When I worked with mom she taught me to pick my fights, so I could usually just wait for my target.
But heroes are reactive, not proactive. Now that I'm playing Hero I need to be able to chase people.
Once I get to the fight I'm fine, but getting to the fight is a serious problem. If one of those bank guys were strong earlier I could have been in trouble. If the USJ Nomu was there I'd be dead because of how drained I was just to get there.
I can't afford to spend that much energy just to get to an incident in the future, I need mobility outside of my ROOM...'
"But how the fuck do I do that?" Law asks aloud. "If I could just move about like Hawks or Burnin, or even Bakugo..."
Law sits up, suddenly struck by an idea, by something that caught his eye at the Sports Festival.
"Hover Soles..." he quickly finds Mei Hatsume's match against Kaminari, plus some clips of her during the cavalry battle and obstacle race. "They let her hover above the ground...but I'll need something a lot better than that, and a lot less goofy."
Law is about to call Nezu when he hears a loud knowing at his door.
ROOM!
SHAMBLES!
He's sudden in his body glove and visor as he walks to the door, opening it to see Endeavor standing there in casual clothes and a coat.
"Yeah?" he asks, standing at almost the exact same height, face-to-face with Endeavor.
Endeavor takes a good look at Horizon, now realizing how muscular he was under that suit, because that's what he's in almost all the time either in the UA uniform or his Hero Costume.
"We're going to dinner, dress casually," Endeavor doesn't even wait for a response, just starts walking away.
"Well...I could still eat I guess," Horizon shrugs and goes to get some clothes on.
Completely oblivious to how much Todoroki family drama was about to unfold...
