[As luck would have it, Izuku's all geared up and patrolling as Houou when the villain makes his move. Rather than bursting onto the scene immediately like he wants to, Houou crouches down on the roof across from the store and observes for a moment. Though the villain hasn't tried to take hostages yet, the last thing Houou wants to do is force the villain's hand. With his all-black costume, save for the red and gold accents, he blends easily into the night.]

Offensive quirk...spits out an acid of some kind, but his range isn't very long. Relies on a blunt weapon to intimidate instead of his quirk, so he's either saving it as a last resort or he doesn't think it's all that potent. Only weapon is a baseball bat for now, but could be hiding more on him... [Houou mutters to himself, eyes sharp as he studies the villain's movements. Finally, when the villain makes to grab a kid that gets too close, Houou tenses and reaches for his belt. Looks like his observation time is up.

After making sure his hood and mouthguard are in place, Houou jumps down from his perch, throws a smoke bomb into the store, and grabs the kid before the villain can react.]
