Disclaimer: I don't own my hero academia
The following day, in aftermath of All Might's victory, society was in a state of chaos. News of the previous night's events was in the papers and being discussed on talk shows. It was the only thing on anyone's mind. Who could blame them really?
There some groups of people that were particularly affected by what had happened.
Tenya's group
Tenya and his friends walked along silently. Since they were headed to the police, Pop thought it would be a good time to leave their group.
"Well I'm glad that went well and all guys but I really need to get going, I'd rather not get arrested thank you," Pop said. "Also I don't think you'll wanna get in any more trouble than you are now. So if the police ask, we just met by chance."
Tenya nodded and bowed to her. Those that met her at the start did the same.
"Thank you for your assistance Pop-Step, we really couldn't have succeeded without you," Tenya said.
"I agree," said Yaoyarozu. "If you hadn't come, if you hadn't been there to intervene, then we wouldn't have escaped."
Todoroki and Kirishima said nothing but had the same opinion. Bakugo and Mina just stood there wondering who this woman was.
"I'm happy things worked out, but, from now on you might want to avoid this sort of thing," Pop told them. "Otherwise you'll just end up getting into major trouble. Wait until you become pros, then you can do this sort of thing legally."
"Don't worry, we will," Tenya replied.
Pop then said her goodbyes and leaped up to the buildings where she jumped across them and disappeared from the group's sight. As Tenya's group moved along they eventually encountered the police who asked Bakugo and Mina to come with them. The pair both did but were rather silent. Though who could blame them after what they just went through.
The remaining students headed to the train station where they parted ways. They each returned home to get some much needed, and well deserved sleep.
Mina and Bakugo
Mina and Bakugo were questioned by the police for over an hour. Questions about why they had been taken and the villains they encountered were asked. All of which they answered honestly, they had to.
Mina however, didn't go into too much detail about the pasts of the villains she spoke with. She felt she had no right to tell them about it. She did tell them all about her encounter with Deku. How he saved her, how he protected her, and how he freed her. She also did tell the police about what Deku did for the League, quirk analysis and scientific development, since she didn't see anything particularly dangerous about it.
Bakugo, who'd been listening remained silent. He never thought much of Deku's quirk analysis obsession, but the League of Villains certainly did. That must have meant there was more to it than he thought. He couldn't help but wonder what the hell he did in their science division, but it didn't matter since no one had any information on it yet.
"Um sir, please tell me, is Deku alright?" Mina asked nervously. She had been watching him during All Might's fight and worried when he was left unconscious afterward.
"He's fine. He's currently unconscious but he's fine," the detective replied. "Some of my colleagues will be questioning him when he wakes up."
At that she felt a wave of relief that he wasn't dead. Bakugo couldn't believe how friendly she had gotten with Deku in just one day. Was there something wrong with her? It didn't matter that he helped her, he was a villain and nothing more.
"Well thanks for all the information you've given us. It's been really useful. Also we will be sending you two home with police escorts. Just as a safety precaution," the detective told them.
The pair nodded in understanding. The detective then motioned them to leave the room with him. As they followed the two students were deep in thought over Deku.
"I hope he's alright. I wonder if the police will go easy on him since he helped me. What he did wasn't too bad so he may get off easy," Mina thought hopefully. "I didn't tell them about his past or why he joined since they never asked. Even Bakugo didn't go into much detail of their relationship. I doubt he would talk about bullying him though, wouldn't be good for his record. Still though, I hope things work out for you Deku. I really do."
"Damn that bastard Deku. Who does he think he is? Acting like he's above me. That quirkless piece of shit, he's lucky that he's far away from me right now otherwise I'd kill him. Still though, could he have actually jumped? Yeah right, a year ago that guy was too spineless to even talk back to me, let alone jump off a roof. Well I suppose it doesn't really matter now. After today I'll probably never see him again," Bakugo thought.
He couldn't have been more wrong.
Inko Midoriya
"I want know where my son is," she yelled at the man in front of her. "That was him on TV in Kamino, I know it. I came here last night and they couldn't tell me anything because you wanted to talk to him first. Why shouldn't I be allowed to see him? I'm his mother."
Inko was currently at the police station trying to get information about her son's whereabouts. She had come the previous night only to be turned away. She hadn't even been allowed to see him. All she had been told was that he was unconscious and being treated, though they did not specify as to where.
"He's at the hospital for villains Mrs. Midoriya," came a voice from her right.
She turned to see a detective she had met several times over the year when she came to visit. One who had heard about her son's case but wasn't working on it due to preoccupation with a variety of other cases.
"Detective Yagami," Inko murmured. "What do you mean?"
"Surely you must understand. Your son, he is a villain, or at least associated with them. We heard it from one of the two villains captured at the camp. The statements from the two captured students also confirm it. Therefore we need to question him about what he did for the League," Yagami explained.
Inko couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her son, a villain. It wasn't possible. Izuku had always wanted to become a hero, so why would he suddenly just decide to become the opposite. It made no sense.
"If you want to know the whole story then I suggest you listen quietly on the way there," Yagami stated. "Though please know that we still need to question him first before you two can reunite."
Inko stayed silent. This man, was he saying what she thinks he's saying? The latter seemed to be able to tell what was going through her head.
"I will take you to the hospital, however, you will not be allowed to see him until we have gotten what we need," Yagami told her. "Now let's go."
He turned and started walking towards the door. Inko quickly followed. There was no way she was going to miss this opportunity.
"I'll be there soon Izuku, I promise," she swore.
The League of Villains: Tomura's group
Things had not been going so well with Tomura. His master had been defeated (thanks to a cheap shot) and was gone, his group had lost Deku, Dabi (who was still in Deku's possession) and Muscular (who Sensei had intentionally sent away). He had no idea where they were, though Kurogiri said it was a secret facility Sensei owned, one only he and Kurogiri had the coordinates of. That aside, there was something else on his mind.
"Just how the hell did they find?" Tomura wondered. "Even if Moonfish and Mustard gave statements about the bar there's no way they could've known which bar exactly we were occupying. They only saw it because Kurogiri granted them entrance."
"Maybe someone else told them," Magne suggested.
"He's got a point," Compress butted in. "Sensei was an important figure. It wouldn't be wrong to think he had enemies inside the League."
Tomura stopped moving and started thinking. Compress had a point. Also, even if the police had taken their captured teammates (well just Mustard) statements there's no way they could have found them that quickly. That just left one option, someone ratted them out. Someone had those mini-pods planted, just waiting to strike when the time was right. What's more they hadn't just been aiming for Sensei, they had been trying to kill Deku. The most powerful figure in the League and its only quirkless member. There was only one individual who hated them both, who would be daring enough to do something like this.
"Atrocity," Tomura snarled. "That son of a bitch, he ratted us out to the police."
The others looked at him concerned.
"You sure?" Spinner asked much to Tomura's irritation.
"Definitely, he always despised master for being more powerful and having more influence than him. He despised Deku because he was quirkless, even more when he took his new toy from him," Tomura explained.
Toga and Twice remained silent. They knew exactly what Atrocity was going to do to Mina until Deku intervened. If anything they were happy when she escaped. She was different than most people, and they liked her for it.
"Then it wouldn't be wrong to assume that Viper is working with him," Tomura continued. "How else could he have gotten hold of the Nomu that tried to kill Deku in Hosu?"
"That may be true, but I doubt that she would be doing it willingly," Kurogiri interjected. "She hates the man with all her soul."
No one said anything for a minute.
"Kurogiri, you have a USB stick with all the work Deku did for the League don't you?" Tomura asked.
The black mist villain nodded in confirmation. "He gave it to me in case of an emergency."
"Good because by now the police have already raided his apartment and found his notebooks, though I can't say the same for his lab," Tomura replied. "We need to make do with what we have."
Though he didn't like it they were on their own now. They would need to do whatever they could to survive.
Atrocity
Atrocity was excited. So far everything was going according to plan. Step 1 was defeating All for One (and also killing Deku which failed), incapacitate him in a way he wouldn't be able to fight back. Step 2 involved breaking into Tartarus (special prison for criminals who the death penalty isn't enough) where All for One would most likely be sent given his past deeds. Fortunately for him, Atrocity already had his route in there. It was there he would commence Step 3, which was what he was looking forward to most. He also had a side job or two to do, one of which he was about to do now.
"Queen Bee I have a mission for you," Atrocity announced to Kuin who was sitting on a couch.
The girl looked up at him surprised. He then placed a large case in front of her and opened it to reveal a series of blue liquids. Before he could speak again she seemed to know exactly what he wanted her to do.
"Let me guess. You want me to go to the villain hospital where Deku is, inject a bunch of beat up villains with what I'm guessing is a new version of trigger so they can go on a full rampage which in reality is a distraction so you can kill Deku with something better," she exclaimed.
"How the fuck did you know?" Atrocity responded stunned. "Your quirk lets you control bees, not look into the future."
"Because I know you. You've never been the type to just do things quietly. Well sometimes you do, but most of the time you like to cause a bit of destruction and chaos because it's more fun. If it means anything I don't know how you intend to kill him, you always did like to surprise people," Kuin explained. "Also I had one of my babies follow Deku in just case you wanted to know. Tracking is a speciality of mine, how else do you think Shigaraki found the UA Training Camp."
Atrocity said nothing. This girl nailed all the right points. About him and herself. She didn't know everything though.
"Mostly right. This is kind of a new version of trigger. You remember the enhancement drug some of our members have been using," he said.
"The one used for Nomu, the one that provides a boost in quirk usage and physical stats?" Kuin asked. "Yeah I know it. Haven't tried it myself but I know it. What's that go to do with Tri-"
She froze suddenly.
"Wait, you don't mean."
"Yes. It's exactly what you're thinking. Trigger and Achilles are powerful enough their own but join them together and what do you get, a recipe for disaster," Atrocity boasted.
Kuin frowned at the name he used for the enhancement drug.
"Achilles? As in the Greek hero?" she asked intrigued by the name.
"Achilles was a hero who possessed immense strength and invulnerability but had that nasty little weakness in his heel. It perfectly describes the drug don't you think? The user is provided with great strength and boost in all areas, however, its weakness is that it won't last as long as before and the after effects will be even worse than before," Atrocity explained. "As to why I chose to name it, well, enhancement drug just sounds stupid in my opinion. It also makes me feel like it belongs to me even more."
Kuin didn't argue, not that she had any reason to, or even care for that matter. There was something she needed to clarify first.
"Fine. Call it what you want but let's get one thing straight. If, huge if, Deku doesn't die this time don't go blaming me. I'm just providing a distraction that's all," she stated.
"Sure thing. Oh and don't worry about my method to kill Deku, another one of my henchmen will be taking care of that," he replied.
With that Kuin got up, took the case and left. Atrocity followed shortly after. He was all too eager to finish what he started. Soon, very soon, the League would be all his. All for One and Deku would be dead and Tomura's group would be following them soon.
It was all too perfect.
All Might
All Might was currently in UA's medical room recovering from his battle with All for One. The reason he was here instead of a hospital was because he didn't want others to see his true form. That and there were very few people who knew about the nature of his quirk, Recovery Girl being one of them. In the room right next to his were Naomasa and his old mentor Gran Torino. They had just been discussing the possibility of Shigaraki being Shimura's grandson. They knew Nana gave her son up after her husband's death but told them to never get in contact with her family, even if something happened to her. All Might wanted to find him but Gran Torino said he would handle it since Toshinori no longer saw him as a villain. Regardless of the man's lineage, at the end of the day he was a criminal. Then came the topic of Izuku.
"Say what you want about Shigaraki but I definitely need to do something about Young Midoriya," All Might said. "Speaking of which how is he?"
"Currently he's being treated at the villain hospital. He's currently unconscious. He suffered some burns from those pods and has a few bruises but otherwise he's okay," Naomasa explained.
All Might was relieved to hear that.
"Look Toshinori I get that you feel guilty about what happened to this boy, but, he's still a villain. You can't treat him differently because he's a kid or because of something you said," Gran Torino told him.
"I know but, I want to help him. I feel like I need to help him. He isn't as bad as you might think Sensei. During his time as a villain there have been moments when he did help others, most notably the students," All Might replied much to Gran Torino's surprise. "He saved Uraraka when she was about to be raped, he put Iida back the right path when sought revenge against the Hero-Killer, and I don't know how or why but he saved Ashido from something when she was held captive."
Gran Torino was stunned at what he was hearing. This kid, he wasn't so much a villain but certainly wasn't a hero. Naomasa chose that moment to speak.
"If you are wondering about what happened to Ms. Ashido I can tell you. We finished interviewing her and Bakugo an hour ago. She had quite a bit to say," Naomasa said.
And so he explained everything Mina went through during her time with the League. Why she was captured, how Izuku saved her, the time she spent with him and the other villains, the things Izuku did for the League.
All Might became furious when he heard why Mina was kidnapped. He too had heard of Atrocity and knew exactly what kind of person he was, what did to people. Knowing he was planning to do that to Mina made his blood boil. He was surprised at All for One's intervention when Izuku saved Mina. If he let Izuku have Mina then he really must have held him in high regard. When it came to the part about what Izuku did for the League All Might was quite surprised. He didn't know how but this was what made the League so powerful, or at least put them in a much better situation than they were.
"All right he's said his piece now you say yours, what did All for One tell you about Deku?" Gran Torino asked. "Since you were so desperate to find this kid you must've asked him."
All Might silently scowled. His mentor knew him all too well. Even if he tried to lie it wouldn't work. He knew he needed to tell them the truth.
"This is what All for One told me when I asked him about why Izuku was in the League," he started.
All Might explained his entire conversation with All for One regarding Izuku. He told them about his past, how he joined the League, the conditions he set for joining it, and what had happened because he had joined it.
"So the kid is responsible for the deaths of heroes, and he doesn't even know it?" Gran Torino asked.
"I don't think he ever meant for anyone to die. Izuku isn't a killer, he's made that abundantly clear," All Might reasoned.
"Then he's indirectly responsible," Gran Torino countered. "Still though I wonder how his duties caused all this."
"I can explain that," Naomasa intervened. "We found where he was living and raided it. There were some defences but we got past them. What we found were a bunch of notebooks with details on the quirks of many pros and students from the Sports Festival. We've read through them and I must say, Izuku's quirk analysis abilities aren't something to be looked down on. They contained information about weaknesses, strengths and ways to improve quirk usage. We couldn't find anything about science experiments in the room so I'm unable tell you anything about them."
All Might didn't respond. When he thought about it he could see how those sort of things would enable the League to become stronger. The quirk analysis part definitely explained how Izuku was responsible for the deaths of others. As for the science experiments, he had a feeling they were much worse.
"What he's done for the League aside there's something else we need to discuss. Those mini-pods that attacked him. They weren't ours, and the certainly weren't All for One's," Naomasa stated. The two heroes knew what was coming next. "The kind damage they caused, and the way they attacking. Someone was trying to kill Izuku."
"You're not wrong but who? It had to be someone within the League who knew where that warehouse was," Gran Torino said. "Also why? From the sound of things he hasn't done anything major to make any enemies."
"We don't know," Naomasa replied. "However, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. There was that Nomu in Hosu Izuku fought against. Iida clearly stated Izuku was its target."
"You think the one who tried to kill him before was behind the Nomu after Izuku?" All Might asked.
"It does seem reasonable. Not everyone in the League may have liked Izuku. All for One it seems holds Izuku in high regard, and if he were harmed it would been met with serious consequences. Therefore, if he died because a Nomu went out of control it would just look like an accident to most," Naomasa explained. "I may be reading into it a little too much though."
All Might said nothing. As crazy as it sounded, it did certainly explain a lot.
"I gotta go now and check on Izuku. See if he's awake for questioning. My partner Reo won't be happy if I'm late. Goodbye," Naomasa said as he got up to leave the room.
All Might and Gran Torino were on their own then. The only speaking that was done was Torino berating him for his reckless behaviour.
Izuku Midoriya
Dream Flashback
Izuku and Razor
Izuku was lying on the mat sweating profusely while Razor stood over him.
"Not bad you little shit, you nearly had me that time," Razor complimented. "But you need to be faster than that, otherwise you'll end up dead."
Izuku didn't answer back. He was too busy panting and trying to get his breath back.
Despite his state Razor couldn't help but admire his progress. Izuku was advancing so quickly that it surprised her.
"Alright that's enough for today. Go home and rest. You're improving I'll give you that much, but you've still got a long way to go," Razor said as she walked towards the exit. "Who knows, maybe you'll achieve a state of awakening one day. Though it will be a long time before that can happen."
Izuku never got the chance to ask her what she meant by that.
At the villain hospital
Izuku slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the ceiling for a minute before turning his head to examine the area around him. Currently he was lying on a bed in what looked to be some sort of hospital surrounded by some sheets. He tried to sit up he discovered that he was handcuffed on both sides. What surprised him was he was still wearing his clothes from before, well the lower half anyway. He thought his clothes would be replaced with new ones. This, however, made realise he had bandages wrapped around his body. Considering the damage he took from those flying mini-pods and impact that knocked him out when he smashed into the wall it wasn't surprising. Speaking of damage, Izuku moved his body slightly only to feel no pain which was surprising. Whoever treated him must have been a skilled doctor or had a really powerful healing quirk.
"If I'm in a hospital that means I was captured," Izuku groaned.
That was the only explanation he could think of, the only one that made sense. However, that meant Sensei had been captured also. After those mini-pods ceased attacking him he noticed another shooting straight through Sensei while All Might delivered an immensely powerful final blow to him. At the realization of this his stomach churned.
"If Sensei's been captured then that means Razor's gone also. She only remained with the League as long as Sensei was around. Which means she'll be heading back to BUTLER now," he thought sadly. "That means I may never see her again."
In the time he had known her, Izuku had grown to respect, appreciate and like Razor. She was his teacher. She made him a stronger man. And now she was gone. It was one of the saddest moments for him.
That said, he wondered about Tomura, Kurogiri and the others. Were they safe? Or had they been captured as well? He had witnessed them get transported away so they must have been okay, right? However, given that they didn't know his location he couldn't count on them to come and save him. He was on his own.
"Who was trying to kill me back there?" he wondered. "I haven't interacted with enough people in the League to have made any enemies, except maybe Muscular. Still though, it had to have been someone in the League who knew exactly where that warehouse was. Maybe it was the man people refer to as Atrocity, Razor said he despised Sensei because he was more powerful than him. She also said he possesses an extreme version of society's usual view of the quirkless. Still too soon to be sure though."
There was one question that was weighing heavily on his mind.
"How did All Might know who I was?" he thought.
They had only ever met twice, the second of which he didn't even know it was him. What's more just what did he want with him? The Symbol of Peace had clearly been looking for him, he wanted to talk with him about something. But why? Did he feel guilty about what he said to him on that rooftop a year ago? Well it was a bit late for that. He had already chosen his path in life and there was no turning back. He couldn't just switch sides just like that, it wasn't that simple. If anything he should thank him. If All Might had never said those things to him then he never would become stronger, he would still be weak little Izuku trying to achieve something that wasn't possible. Even if he had entered UA he never would've become a hero. It had taken him a long time to realize, but, a quirkless hero is something society would never allow. They were too prejudiced to allow it.
Izuku's thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of two men. One wore a brown coat and hat that covered his dark hair. The other wore a black coat and hat that covered his blonde hair.
"Izuku Midoriya," the dark haired man greeted. "I am Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, and this is my partner Reo Yagami. We came to ask you a couple of questions."
"And what if I refuse to answer?" Izuku asked back.
"That's your choice. However, you should know we have some people in the force who get the truth out of you in a more forceful manner," Reo informed him. "So unless you want to end up in a worse situation than you are now I suggest you cooperate."
"Go on then, I dare you," Izuku challenged. "Whatever torture you plan to put me through I can take. So do your absolute worst."
He wasn't scared of what they would do to him. He had been trained well enough that he wouldn't break under torture, well, for a long time anyway. Reo was slightly taken back at Izuku's boldness. That threat normally worked. This boy, whatever he had been through, it had hardened him.
"Yagami that's enough. Threatening him isn't going to get anywhere," Naomasa interjected. "You really want to do that when you brought his mother here."
Izuku felt as though he had been punched in the stomach, by a Nomu filled with enhancement drug. His mother, was here, now of all times.
"No I'm not ready for this," he thought.
It wasn't as though he didn't want to see her, he really did. He just wasn't sure if he wanted her to see him, this him. He was a villain, he wasn't the sweet, innocent child she had raised all on her own anymore. He was a villain, a criminal, nothing more. How could she look at him after what he did?
"We'll be sending her into see you after we're done questioning you," Reo said having noticed Izuku's reaction. "Or we could call her in now and listen in while we question you. So tell us kid, are you still going to remain silent?"
There was a silence for a minute before Izuku spoke again.
"I'll answer what I want and only what I'm able to," he responded.
He wouldn't reveal any sensitive information, not that there was much anyway.
Reo and Naomasa nodded. Naomasa started asking him questions.
"How did you join the League?"
"They sought me out after finding one of my notebooks on quirk analysis. They saved me when I tried to commit suicide."
The detectives flinched at that piece of knowledge. Reo hadn't expected that kind of response. Naomasa on the other hand was more concerned.
"And why would you try to do that?"
"Because I couldn't take it anymore. My entire life I was bullied for being quirkless, both by my classmates and my teachers. Everyone mocked me, hurt me, and humiliated me because of what I was, especially when I wanted to be a hero. Then one day, after several encounters with different people, I had had enough. So, at the advice of someone else, I jumped, hoping to put an end to it all."
Izuku had answered this question rather angrily. This was a rather sensitive topic for him, but if the police wanted the truth they may as well know how screwed up his life was before. Reo was stunned. Naomasa was concerned, everything Izuku said matched up with what All Might him. Sensing how uncomfortable the situation was Reo changed the topic.
"We know about your conditions, however, why did you choose to leave your home?"
"It was to keep my mother safe. I didn't want to lie to her or risk her finding out. She's many things but stupid is not one of them. Eventually she would've gotten suspicious, and when that would happen, well, I think you can guess."
The detectives nodded in understanding. That was as good a reason as any.
"We know you did quirk analysis and science experiments for the League. Did you do anything else? Also, what sort of experiments did you do for the League?"
"Nothing else really. I wasn't a field agent, though I did learn self-defence. As for the science experiments, I'm not gonna tell you anything. Say or do what you want to me but I won't say a word about it. Oh, and before you ask, I didn't work on the Nomu at any stage. The first time I saw one of them was the day of the USJ Incident. I had no prior knowledge of them. I don't even know how they're made."
"Why were you at the USJ then?"
"To get revenge. Katsuki Bakugo was my primary tormentor for most of my life and this was a good chance to get payback. I fought with him. I defeated him. After that I returned to Kurogiri and Shigaraki and convinced to retreat since we were at a disadvantage."
The detectives went silent. Naomasa remembered Inko's statement about Bakugo bullying Izuku, it made sense that he would hold a grudge against him. Reo was starting to feel sympathy for the kid. Throughout the entire interrogation his quirk, 'Lie Detector', had been active, thus allowing him to verify every Midoriya said. Izuku had phrased his answer carefully since he did not want them to be led to Razor.
"Did you go near UA and its students again after this?"
"I went to the Sports Festival to analyse their quirks on All for One's orders but that's it. Interactions I had with them afterward were all indirect and by chance."
"What were these times?"
"First was Iida at Hosu when he was on his internship where we fought against the Nomu. Second was Uraraka at the shopping mall in the Kiyashi Ward, we spoke briefly but didn't talk about anything major. Third time was the whole kidnapping scenario involving Mina and Bakugo. I had no knowledge that Bakugo was a target, if I had I would've argued against it since I really do hate him. Mina I just happened stumble upon by accident. The majority of the League didn't even know she was there."
While they didn't know about his meeting with Uraraka the mention of Hosu caught their attention.
"Tell us about Stain. He wasn't at your hideout. And from what we gathered from the two individuals we captured, well Mustard mostly, he hasn't been seen with your group. From whom does he take orders from?"
Izuku frowned at the new information. So Mustard and Moonfish had been captured during the mission. That explained why he hadn't seen them at the hideout. As for Stain, there was no information he had that would hurt him.
"Stain takes orders from himself since he isn't a member of the League, he never was. As for where he is, I don't know. I haven't seen him since Hosu."
The detectives were surprised at this information. They thought Stain was a member of the League the whole time.
"Why were you with him in Hosu then?"
"It was a sort of internship set up by a friend of his who worked for the League but no longer does. It was sort of a break from the League for me, and good chance to hone my fighting skills. He even put on his crusade for the week for it. There was absolutely no killing."
"Who arranged the meeting?"
"I won't say. You don't need to worry about that person though. Since you captured Sensei they no longer work for the League."
Despite knowing that he was telling the truth Reo couldn't help but feel frustrated. They weren't receiving any useful information.
"Where is Shigaraki now?" Reo demanded. "Where did All for One send him and his team?"
"No clue," Izuku replied rather bluntly.
"Then tell us the location of the League's other bases, they must be at one of them then," Reo continued. He was getting impatient now.
Izuku stared blankly at him.
"Unfortunately I don't know of any other bases since I was never told about them. I wasn't told a lot of things, only what I needed to hear. I had two jobs to do and nothing more, so just why would they tell me confidential information when it wasn't necessary for me to know it?" Izuku asked. "Ask as many questions as you want but I don't have any sensitive information that could hurt the League, I don't have anything that would let you get one up on them. I never pried into their secrets because it would just get me into trouble. As for what they do with my work, I only know that they use it to fight against heroes."
That wasn't a lie. As far as he was aware that was all the League did with his work. They never informed him otherwise.
"Then just why did you join at first offer if you didn't know that much about them?" Reo snapped.
He was really annoyed now. Naomasa was also annoyed at the lack of information Izuku possessed. They thought he was more important than that.
"All for One is why," Izuku retorted catching both the detectives off guard. "I don't normally judge at first glance but the moment I met him I knew, he wasn't the type to take no for an answer. Do you understand? Even if I said no I would've ended up joining the League anyway."
The detectives went silent. There was nothing else to ask Izuku. They stood up and prepared to leave.
"Thank you for that Midoriya, it was very helpful," Naomasa said.
"I doubt it," Izuku scoffed.
Once the detectives were outside and had put a bit of distance between them and the room they began to talk.
"Did you use your quirk in there?" Naomasa asked his partner.
"The entire time," Reo responded in an annoyed tone. "Everything that kid said in there was the truth. Everything."
Naomasa didn't reply. He knew "everything" meant everything, including his childhood, the limit to the knowledge he possessed about the League and about being willing to go through torture to prevent himself from talking about his experiments. What's more it only contributed to All for One's statement about Izuku's past.
"So what now?" Reo asked. "We can't just let him go home with his mother, and we don't know if the League will either try to kill him or get him back. What's more, even if he never intended for it to happen he is responsible for the deaths of several heroes."
"I don't know," Naomasa replied. "Despite all that he has suffered a lot himself, most of which was unjust."
"I know. Believe me I know," Reo said solemnly. He thought back to Laura Shisa and her brother. "I've met people like him before."
Neither of them said anything for a moment.
"There is one thing we need to do. And you brought it here," Naomasa said.
"I know," Reo replied. "I know."
A few minutes later
Izuku was looking outside the window from a distance. The wind was blowing the blinds back slightly and the sun was shining. It was a beautiful day outside. He was so immersed in what he saw he didn't notice someone coming into the room.
"I-Izuku," a familiar female voice called.
Izuku froze. He felt as though his heart had stopped. The biggest reason he left was now here speaking to him. He was too shocked to respond.
"Izuku," the voice, his mother's voice called again.
He turned slowly to gaze at her. Though he had watched her from a distance seeing her up close was a completely different thing. She had lost weight, a lot of weight. She looked completely like she did ten years. Her face, her face was a mixture of things. She was smiling happily, but at the same time sadly. There were tears streaming down her face.
"Izuku," she said again this time arching towards him before breaking into a run.
She embraced him and began crying loudly into his shoulder.
"Oh Izuku," Inko sobbed loudly. "Oh Izuku my baby. It's you, it's really you. You don't know how much I've missed you."
He liked the embrace more than he admitted. That was the worst part. He was happy with her there. He wanted her there, near him. He needed her there. He had wanted this for so long, his heart longed for it, and now here it was. His mother, the one person in this world he loved more than anything. Before he even realised it, Izuku had started crying also.
"Hi Mom," he said softly. "I've missed you too."
Not too far from the villain hospital
Kuin was near the hospital now. In alleyway she took opened the case and had her bees take some of the 'Achilles' drug.
"All right my babies go wreak havoc," she ordered.
The bees spread out with the drug and advanced towards the hospital.
"Well this should be interesting," Kuin mused.
Meanwhile, Atrocity's henchman activated the device. Upon activation it didn't move immediately, it would wait until the chaos started before acting.
At that moment, nobody knew nor could have guessed. A fierce battle was about to take place at the villain hospital.
