Shinsou had just left the convenience store with Aizawa. It was his first patrol with Aizawa and he wasn't expecting anything crazy to happen since it was just a trial run to get him used to things. The patrol route was picked specially because Aizawa knew it was a quiet area and nothing more than minor robberies happened here.

"I'm just saying!" Shinsou said defensively, his hands raised in surrender "Maybe I could finally get some peace after class if I could just brainwa-"
"You know there's no quirk use allowed outside designated times brat" Aizawa grumbled out half heartedly, knowing Shinsou wouldn't actually do that just for some quiet.
After a few years of living with Aizawa, Shinsou had finally gotten more comfortable with using his quirk and he can now use it on others for little jokes instead of feeling forced to use it in emergencies.
Shinsou sighed and grumbled something under his breath as he opened his bottle of water and drank from it. When he was done, he wiped his mouth and subconsciously traced some scars around his mouth, realizing just how much they've faded over time.
When he was down with his drink, he crumpled the empty water bottle up and tried tossing it into the open dumpster in the alley they passed, but missed and heard a small squeak. Aizawa raised his brow, unimpressed, and gestured silently with his head to go pick it up. Shinsou flushed a little, slightly embarrassed about missing, but does as he's told and quickly enters the alley to pick up the crumpled bottle.
When he gets to the spot right in front of the dumpster, he sees some boxes piled in front of it, and figures the bottle must be between said boxes and the dumpster. When he rounds the corner of the boxes, he freezes immediately. Seeing a little form huddled in the corner, back turned to him. Shinsou straightens up and looks back to Aizawa with a frown on his face, silently gesturing for him to come over to look.
Aizawa sighs but begrudgingly goes over to him. When he peers behind the boxes, he also sees the small form and frowns. His brows creasing slightly with worry. He gently pushes Shinsou behind him and crouches down, but doesn't get any closer yet "..Kid? You ok there?" He asks softly.
But when the small figure turns around, they both stiffen in horror. It's a little kid, staring at them with wide eyes full of fear. Their clothes dirty and not meant for the cold night air, and their hair and skin dirty. But luckily they didn't look too thin or sick, meaning that they haven't been abandoned for too long. A day at most.
Shinsou specifically takes in a sharp gasp and recoils slightly in shock when he sees the muzzle on the kids face. The edges digging in and causing irritation. He takes the smallest step back, being reminded of his own childhood and how he had been made to wear a muzzle
Aizawa- groaned internally, worried for the young child's health and well being. Also realizing that he's going to have to take them to the police station to file a report and figure out what to do with them. As soon as he can get them to trust him enough to get the muzzle off and go with him.
