Chapter one:
A four year old Izuku Midoriya was in his living room putting together a toy robot when it all happened. He stood up and shouted, "There is someone at the door! I'm going to get it!"
"Make sure to look through the peephole!" His mother, Inko Midoriya shouted from the kitchen.
"Okay!" He shouted back and picked up a stool and placed it behind the door. A man dressed in a suit and tie was clenching his jaw as if preparing himself for something. Placing the stool back in its place he opened the door a bit.
"Hello sir. What c-can I help you w-with?" Little Izuku said with a stutter.
The man slowly crouched to get to his eye level. "Hey kid, I'm a detective. You can call me Tsukauchi-san," He said and showed his badge, "Is your mom home?" He asked lowly.
Izuku nodded and opened the door all the way, "Y-You can take your shoes o-off here. I'll lead you to the kitchen."
"Allright little guy, what's your name?" He asked, slipping his foot into the guest shoes.
"Izuku Midoriya, detective-sama" He said and bowed slightly leading the detective into his kitchen.
"Hello sir! Inko Midoriya." She bowed and frowned "Could you happen to tell me what the occasion is?" she asked.
"Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi." He said and bowed, "You might want to sit down for this."
"W-Would you like some water sir?" The kid with the green birdsnest on his head asks. The detective raised his eyebrow at this and nodded at him, "If you wouldn't mind Midoryia-chan."
"You have a polite kid there, Midoriya-sama."
Inko smiled and followed Izuku's movements, "I know, you can call me Inko-san, sir."
Tsukauchi gave her a gentle smile, "You can call me Kauchi-san. I'd rather have your son out of the room for this." He said and clenched his jaw.
Izuku placed the glasses in front of the adults and turned to his mom, she ruffled his hair and nodded to the living room, "Go play with your robot, and put on some music, adults are having big talk." She said and smiled at him.
Young Midoriya happily walked down into his living room and put on his favourite radio, Present Mic Live! He's such a great host! His enthusiasm reaches thousands of people. Grabbing his mini toolbox he looked at his robot. Already completely sucked in by his analytic brain he began to tinker with it.
"Your husband is Hisashi Midoriya, correct?" Tsukauchi began slowly easing his way into a stable conversation.
"Yes."
"We found him, with an empty wallet in an alleyway." He said just breaking the news to her. "We know he was mugged, whilst trying to defend himself, he got stabbed… a few times." He winced as he looked at the young mother in front of him.
"Oh," She said with a quiet tone.
"Eye witness said the mugger used his quirk." He clenched his jaw and took a sip of water.
Her faced morphed into shock, then disbeliefhis... "His will is somewhere between his books." Inko said with a quiver in her voice. "I'll... I'll go get it. Please, could you please keep my son busy while I look for it." She asked and stood up. Tsukauchi nodded and walked into the living room.
Sitting next to the little kid on the floor he tapped the ground a few times, Izuku not feeling the vibration and being too immersed with his robot.
Chuckling softly he tapped the robot instead.
Finally catching his attention, Izuku slipped off his headphones and looked at the detective. "What are you making there, bud?" The man asked.
Izuku's eyes lit up as someone took interest in his tinkering. "It's a robot!" He said excitedly and showed it to the older man.
"Are you going to tell me what it can do?" He asked, grinning at the kid.
The kid grinned back at him, "It follows me around! Dad said this chip, makes the machine follow me around! He also gave me a box full of old robot parts! And I made the wheels better! It's like a tank now." He said.
"So it's for every terrain?" Tsukauchi asked, genuinely interested.
Izuku proudly nodded, "I'm trying to make it like the old movie, WALL-E! But in a dark blue colour."
"WALL-E?" The older man asked.
The small child giggled and proceeded to run to his room, after a few seconds he could hear the little steps getting louder. "This robot!"
He shoved the poster in his face, showing a small square robot, standing on a garbage pile whilst staring off into space. "What's it about?"
"Humans lost hope in the world when trash turned into the ground they walk on, only Wall-e was on earth with a cockroach, Wall-e was made to clean the world while the humans were gone. So he did.
He probably still had the cockroach as a friend cause they're able to survive in radioactive states."
"Oh really? Who told you that?"
The little boy turned to him and grinned "Dad did!"
"The robot dreamed of love, and so a robot came down to earth, she's called EVE! When EVE was supposed to go back to space, Wall-e clung to her!" He giggled.
The detective smiled at how bright the kid is, smart too. He heard ruffling from the doorway, revealing the older Midoriya.
"You're good with kids." She said. He nodded and followed her back into the kitchen. "I should be, being a detective isn't just catching bad guys." He said and smiled at her.
She put the paper on the table, "I appreciate you helping me." She said quietly, red eyes on full display. He nodded curtly at her.
"My mother had the same happen to her. I was only 10 years old."
"Is that why you're helping me?"
He shook his head, "I'll help anyone i can, I just know how single parents work."
Inko smiled at him, "Thank you, but i'll take it from here." She said.
He nodded and stood up, "If you ever need help with the mini engineer or in general you can reach me" He slid his personal business card over to her.
"Izuku, will you show our guest out?" Inko called from the doorway.
Mini Midoriya stood up and nodded at his mom, "Right this way sir!"
Tsukauchi laughed softly and followed the green bean, when he changed into his shoes, he crouched in front of the kid, "Take care of your mom, Mini Midoriya. And you may call me Kauchi-san. Tell her that she can call me anytime too." He said before ruffling his hair and exiting the Midoriya household.
"You can call me Izuku-chan, Kauchi-san!" The green kid said with admiring eyes.
Izuku decided he didn't like funerals.
Especially not his dad's. His mom cuddled with her little son in her bed. While she was breaking the news that his dad wouldn't come back from his vacation, she had burst into tears. He held her for a few hours.
That's when he decided that he can grow up to help her.
His mom crouched down and tied his tie correctly and kissed his forehead, "I'll teach you how to tie it properly when you're a bit older."
Izuku nodded, "Yes mommy."
Inko was crying, she felt Mitsuki pat her back. "You can call me anytime." She whispered. Inko nodded and smiled softly at her.
Inko made eye contact with Kauchi, he had been patting her son's back. Thankful, she nodded at him.
-2 years later-
"Mom? Why are we here?"A 6 year old Izuku asked his mother, "Kauchi-san suggested you learn self-defence at a young age. While appreciating the old traditions, you will also be learning kendo."
"So I learn how to fight?" The small bean asked looking up at his mother. She nodded at him.
His eyes shined, finally he could learn something to protect his mother. "I will do my best!" He said excited and posed as All Might.
"Fall into line!" A hero shouted.
Izuku's eyes widened, "Gunhead!" He shouted excitedly, running to the Pro Hero.
"Looks like we have a fan here!" Gunhead said and grinned behind his mask. He squatted down to his height and threw up some peace signs.
Quickly running back to his mom, he picked up his small notebook, "Can i have your signature please!"
Gunhead chuckled and signed the book, "Give the book to your mom and we'll start the lesson!" Izuku bowed swiftly and gave it back to his mom who just laughed at his actions. He fastened the white belt around his judogi.
Standing in front of the class Gunhead bowed to his students, "You may call me Gunhead-sensei or Gunhead! Today we'll start with the basics!" The class cheered excitedly. Izuku's eyes glittered.
-After the dojo-
"Your son has a quirk!" The doctor announced.
Inko grinned and brightened up, after Izuku's first martial arts lessons she went to the quirk doctor with him. Her little boy was basically bouncing in his seat.
"Has it appeared yet?" Tsukauchi asked from behind the Midoriya's.
Tsukauchi has become Midoriya's favourite person, it didn't take a while. The man was very loveable. He came around so much that Inko sat him down at the table and slid over an extra key to the apartment. Once Inko does something like that, she won't take it back. And if you insist on it multiple times, she'll give you the looks. Her aura changed instantly and she would glare at you for a couple seconds until you wince and look away.
Izuku shook his head, "No it hasn't"
Doctor gave the kid a look of sympathy, "Your quirk is still asleep, it'll probably appear when you're around 13. But look at it positively, you can train your body and brain before your quirk appears!" He said.
Tsukauchi nodded, "He' right!"
Exiting the building the all made way to the detective's car, "Can I go on patrol with you Kauchi-san?"
Tsukauchi's eyes widened in surprise, "If your mom allows it you can go on a drive along." Looking at Inko, to his surprise she smiled and nodded at the man. "Really?"
"I trust you with my kid, Kauchi." She said and smiled at Izuku. "But Izuku can't go until he cleans up the robots and his room!"
Izuku began nodding repeatedly, so excited that Tuskauchi held his head, "If you go any faster it might fall off. Now get into the car!" He said and laughed.
Izuku's room was surprisingly, well not really, a mess. "Were you inspired by Wall-e, Zuku?"
Izuku frowned, "I don't remember, I think I was putting together the small robot."
Kauchi laughed, "Clean it up and i'll call bossman."
Izuku hopped further into his room and began picking up his clothes.
Walking outside Tsukauchi opened his phone and called his boss, "Captain of squad 1 here."
"Hey Cap! I need a favour for a kid."
His boss sighed from the other side of the line, "Is it the little kid you always talk about? woof."
"Yes, sir, I'd like to take him for a drive along, tomorrow. If i could?"
"Fine, do your usual patrols though, I believe the kid would like to see the streets at night. Only if he stays in the car at all times. Woof." The detective nodded curtly and let out a breath.
"Thank you sir, have a good day." He hung up and walked back into the house. Having made sure to walk into the kitchen where Inko was cooking. "Hey Ink, we'll be fine for tomorrow. Maybe you can take a spa day with Bakugo-san." He suggested. "And the food smells great."
Inko brows furrowed as she was thinking, when was the last time she went out? "I think I'll take that offer, till what time will you be out with him?"
"From 1900 till 2330, I hope that's okay? If I stick around work longer than usual they'll kick my butt out." He joked.
"I guess I could invite Mitsuki for a movie night instead." Inko began to mutter.
"Inko-san? You're muttering again."
"Oh dear, I see where Izuku gets it from." She said with a tint of red on her cheeks. "Could you get him for dinner? I'll set up the table in the meanwhile."
Tsukauchi nodded and walked to the green beans room. Knocking slightly before opening the door, he took a moment to take it all in "You either made it less or more messier, I honestly don't have a clue." He said with his jaw on the ground.
"I'll continue cleaning after dinner! Mini Midori was acting up again!" He said as he put the robot down on the ground, letting it follow him. Kauchi shook his head in amusement, "Dinner is ready." He said, waiting for Izuku to follow him. It didn't take long.
Tsukauchi decided to test something out, he swiftly turned around and threw a punch. Izuku quickly tilted his head quickly and jabbed the older man's elbow's pressure points.
"Good reaction Zuku." The detective said proudly.
"Tsukauchi Naomasa." His body went rigid as he slowly turned around to see an angry parent glaring at him, "Did you just try and punch my kid." She said calmly, too calm.
He began to sweat under her glare, "Yes… To test his reflexes."
"Don't. Do. That. Ever. Again." She said and turned back into her bubbly self, "Ready!"
The men in the house let out a breath, relieved they didn't die. Quickly followed by the sound of a robot sighing too?
"Is that new?" the older man asked as he sat down by the table.
Izuku nodded happily, "I did it so he can repeat a few words only! It's very funny when I begin to mutter, it also didn't need a powerful speaker, but the programming was kind of hard. I am a 6 year old, but i will be turning 7 next week-" And they lost him. Laughing at one another, Inko knocked on the table, startling Izuku out of his muttering.
His head turned into a tomato. "S-Sorry." He muttered and began eating his dinner, "Delicious! Can you teach me how to make this?"
Inko's smile just got 10 times brighter. "Of course little Izuku, I will teach you that!" She said excitedly and turned to Tsukauchi, looking like she'll cry at any given time, "He's growing up too fast!"
Tsukauchi bursted into a laugh, "Oh Inko"
"Are we going to see any heroes?" Izuku asked from his passenger side.
"Yes"
"Could i have their signatures?"
"If you ask them they might give it."
"Yay!"
"Make sure you say thank you and bow before you get into the car."
"Will do Kauchi-san." The green bean said happily.
"Tsukauchi-kun, a captured villain at gps location, sent a patrol car. Get the hero's name and report back on the road. "
Tsukauchi reached for the microphone and clicked the button to Izuku, "Deputy Midoriya confirmed, we're on our way!" He said excitedly into the device.
The female operator laughed, "You're lucky you're cute.". The green bean got flustered, and began muttering under his breath.
The detective on the road turned into another lane and parked the car, "What are you going to do?"
"Stay in the car until I've been given the clear sign."
Tuskauchi nodded and walked to the villain on the ground, looking up he was surprised to see a blue haired young lady along with a homeless guy?
"Detective Tsukauchi here, are you the pro hero?" He asked the blue haired lady.
"Yes! He is too! We're Ms Joke and Eraserhead!" She said excitedly, she could totally match Zuku's energy.
He surprisingly looked at the homeless guy, well thought he was homeless, only to see a hero license pushed in front of his face.
"Pardon." He said and bowed.
"It's okay, i'm used to it, although it has only been a year." He said into his scarf.
"I have a question, could my ki- drive along meet you guys? He absolutely adores heroes." He corrected himself and smiled at them.
"Oh i love kids!" Ms Joke said excitedly.
Tsukauchi gave the kid the clear sign as the villain was transported into the other cops car. Hearing a door slam immediately, he saw the kid in front of him.
"You're fast." Eraserhead remarked.
"Izuku Midoriya! Are you guys Ms Joke and Eraserhead?" He said, bouncing on his place.
"Yes!" Ms Joke said and picked him up, "Can i do this? Eh I'll do it anyway. So how do you know us, we're underground heroes."
"There wasn't a lot on the forums but i pieced it all together" Izuku said happily.
"This kid is smart." Aizawa said.
"Can i have your signature please, i'd bow but Ms Joke has me in her arms!" He squealed.
"Sure kid." Ms Joke said and put him back down. Tsukauchi smiled at the exchange. Izuku pulled out his mini notebooks he used with Gunman.
"Can you write your hero name and sign it?" He asked innocently before bowing.
Ms Joke grinned and signed it, passed it onto Aizawa and whilst he signed it. Ms Joke crouched, "I love your energy! When you become a hero later you have got to intern with me."
Eraserhead snorted, "Sounds like a disaster, you'll corrupt the poor child."
"Obviously! He's great already."
"Come on Izuku, we can't stay here for too long." Tsukauchi suddenly said, "There are more villains to catch!"
Izuku bowed quickly before running back into the car, already bouncing in his seat.
"You got a great kid." Esaserhead shouted out of character.
"You're already so soft to the kid, it's kind of scary" Ms Joke remarked.
"I know." He said and turned around.
The detective his ears were red, your kid? That'd only mean he would be his dad, and Inko his mother- he began to mutter. Quickly realising what's happening he shook his head and stepped into the driver's seat.
"Holy, cover your ears, shit." Tsuchauki said as he pulled into the next scene, Endeavor was there, the number two hero. He can already see Izuku lose his mind.
He saw the kid bouncing in his seat, at least 100 times more. Looking around he realised the site was cleared. Stepping out of the car and to the number 2 hero.
"Thank you for helping." The detective said whilst bowing.
"No problem." The man replied shortly.
"Can my drive along meet you" He wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
The fiery man seemed to hesitate, before reluctantly nodding his head. Grinning, he threw Zuku the sign and in a matter of a few seconds he already saw the kid bowing in front of him.
"Izuku Midoriya sir!"
"Hello kid." The hero replied.
"Can I please have your signature please, along with your hero name written?" Izuku said, offering his notebook.
A smile appeared on Endeavor's face, "Sure, why not." He accepted the notebook and began scribbling down the asked things.
Endeavor leaned over to the detective, his flames much calmer, "I have a kid his age, mind if they have a playdate? He hasn't been talking with his classmates."
A smile appeared on Tsukauchi's face, he handed Endeavor his personal business card and bowed, "I know pro's don't like giving their private information."
A thought appeared on the detective's mind, Did the hero think I was his father?
A/N: I made a few grammar changes, nothign lmajor, i realised i changed Izuku's age, i didn't mean to. Just so many ideas in my head you know? I've written up to 5 chapers already but i'll try and post once every 3-4 days. Depends on how school is coming along.
