I hate them as much as you, but an A/N at the end :')

People outside the shop continued to stare in worry and shock at the large mutated human standing atop the overpass, to shocked to move from the sudden and explosive entry of such.
The people directly below unfortunately, were petrified with fear and were unable to move from the potentially falling debris from the suspended train pathway.
Quickly seeing the potential outcome, Optimus ran towards the petrified crowed - trying to snap the many people out of their apparent daze and get them moving. Luckily, his shouts did not fall upon deaf ears and snapped many of them out of it before the crowd began to run from the danger above them to safety.
The mech turned human quickly stepped to the side to allow the large mass of people to run by him - keeping an eye open in case there was a medical emergency with any one of the civilians. Although it was short lived as a stern tug drew his attention to a local police officer.
"Sir! You have to get away from the premises immediately and stand behind the caution tape line down the street for your own safety!"
Nodding his head curtly, Optimus heeded the officers instructions- not wanting to disobey the law after only being human for such a short amount of time. He quickly turned and ran from the destruction happening before him and the large pieces of rubble trailing right behind him before just stopping short of him - letting him and many others go unharmed. And once the people have all been gathered together in a group far away enough to not be caught in the crossfire, the hero;s present made sure the citizens were safe as other hero's dealt with the disruption. Optimus wasn't exactly at the front, having a few people end up in front of him but because of his height, he easily towered over them and was able to have a clear view in the battle above. What appeared to be a large, deformed human attempted to attack another human who seemed to have some sort of wooden-like texture on his body- concealing any facial features apart from his eyes.
It was only then did Optimus turn around due to the sudden empty space behind him only to see the general public walking calmly about here and there - as if there were no battle going on or any sort of destruction. Optimus could only conclude that either they were somehow very ignorant of what is happening at the moment or this society is has been adapted to where incidents such as these are a simple norm in their every day to day life.
The Prime quickly turned back around towards the fight upon hearing a roar and excited shouting. He noticed that instead of the crowed being frightened as they were before, they were instead now excited to witness this battle. He could here people shouting. "Take him down, Tree man!" or, "You can do it!". Optimus could then only confirm that society was simply used to these kinds of battles and saw them as entertainment when in control.
"Here it comes! Its his 'preemptive binding..!" And at those sudden words being shouted by a child near him, he looked up at the main attraction and saw that the wood-like man had attempted to grab the villain with a shout of phrases - only for the villain to be suddenly kicked by a large human with a shout of her own.
"C A N Y O N C A N O N !"
And with that, the large villain was kicked off of the platform and to the ground - kicking up dust and rubble as if tumbled unconsciously on the ground. Although, what this new hero seemed to have miscalculated was the trajectory of where the rolling villain was going to hit. Upon seeing the familiar shop of the elder lady, Optimus doesn't think a second more as he pushes his way through the crowed - getting a "Hey!" or "Watch it!" from the people he passed. He quickly ran through the apparent water barrier made by one of the hero's and towards the elder's shop as he hears the protest of some people behind him telling him to stop or get back. But their protests simply fell upon deaf ears as Optimus kept running towards the barreling villain - wanting to get to the shop before they could.
Only, his human blood went ice cold as he saw the reflective light on the glass window move to reveal the old lady's horror stricken face as she could only stare at the impeding doom of being hit and crushed by the tossed villain.
Optimus felt his human heart beat erratically as everything seemed to go in slow motion and a raging fire began to spread throughout his veins; he could feel his mind begin to buzz with a sort of energy and his hands pulse. Without another thought, Optimus reached out his hand towards the two and just as the large body of the villain was about to make contact with the shop, a green/blue and purple portal appeared out of no where and engulfed his entire body. Without any control of his body, Optimus came to a screeching halt and whipped out his hand to the side of him where another green/blue and purple portal appeared and spat out the villain who finally came to a tumbling halt.
Optimus could only stare in apparent awe and confusion at his hands before shaking his head and continuing towards the frightened lady - choosing to worry about what had happened, later.
He reached the enterence of the shop and swung open the door, quickly crouching by the elder and asking her if she was alright.
"I'm am alright now thanks to you," She gave him a bright smile and gentle laugh as she patted his shoulder. "It was thanks to you and that quirk of yours that saved me afterall,"
'My quirk?' Optimus had pondered as he slower turned back towards the fallen villain and colorfully dressed people surrounding them - as well as begin the clean up of the destruction that had affected the area. 'But..'
'That was a Ground bridge.'
~~~
It was only a few seconds later did Optimus guide the lady out of the ship and towards the general public where it was more safe for her to be while the officials cleaned up the area. He handed her off to some standby paramedics, seeing as the first responders were there, before he was pulled to the side by a police officer and one other who appeaered to be a special kind of firefighter.
"Was he the one who went past your lines, Backdraft?"
"Yeah, he also went in the battle and used his quirk,"
"Alright then. Sir?" The police officer directed his attention towards Optimus. "Are you perhaps a new hero?"
Confused on their terms of 'hero', Optimus simply responded back with a 'no' to the officials quiry.
"So I am right to assume that you do not have a hero licence?" Optimus could only nod, unable to do anything else but tell them the truth. "Then I'm afraid I'll have to place you underarrest for the illegal use of your quirk in the public. Please turn around and place you're hands behind your back and do not move," Optimus did as he was instructed to do without so much as a peep and only began to think: thank about the situation he's in now, how he's a human, how a ground bridge of all things appeared before him, and how he's already gotten in trouble with only being a human for a few hours.
"I'll be taking you down to the police station to get you processed. Is there anything on your personel that I need to know about."
"There is none,"
"And do you have your identification card on you?"
"I do not,"
"Alright then."
Optimus simply let the officer pull him away from the scene and to back of their police car.
~~~
Watching the police officer arrest the man that helped saved the elder lady didn't sit right with the young boy watching. He felt pity that someone who helped would then be the one to end up in trouble along side a villain - even if they themselves have done no villainous deed. And while the young boy wanted to stick around for more information on the newly debuted Mt. Lady for his notebook, he was going to be late to classes - one of the things he could not afford to do.
So with quick steps, the green haired boy spun around and continued on his way to school as he stuffed his hero filled notebook back into his bookbag.
