Love The Way You Lie

Author's Note: Hey everyone and welcome back to Love The Way You Lie! Alright so we are doing a small time skip, about a week from the closure of the last chapter. Right now there really isn't an author's note. I'm thinking of removing the Erasermight tag cause I don't think I'm going to go forward with anything romantic for them. I think I'm going to have them keep a platonic relationship.

Additonal notes: I do have a tumblr which you can hit me up on, fallenangelofhades, you can ask me questions, send in prompts, just chat etc.

Anyway on with the fic!

Chapter Warnings: Mentions of Kidnapping, mentions of attempted sexual assault, mentions of murder

Chapter Thirteen: Walls (by Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter Summary: After speaking with Dabi, Shouta finds himself wanting to speak to Hizashi again. Hitoshi and Shouta talk about Hizashi. Todoroki is placed in therapy by Shouta after an accident in class. Meanwhile, Endeavor and Tsukauchi investigate the house that Todoroki had been kept in.

Shouta was in a state of constant confusion ever since his conversation with Dabi and the events following Todoroki's rescue. Dabi's words rang through his head almost on repeat. Was the reason that Hizashi turned against him all about stupid loyalites? Maybe Yagi was right and there was more to this than what he actually knew. He knew that a part of him still loved Hizashi and always would.

Would it even be possible for Hizashi to renounce his actions and return to hero society? The problem was that Present Mic would never be trusted again within the hero community. Civilians might believe that he was innocent of all charges but the heroes knew better. Hizashi had been a villain at one point. Hizashi had been aligned with the villains long before their shared high school years.

It hadn't taken long before all of the students at U.A. had found out that Dabi and Present Mic had been the two to save Todoroki. Shouta wasn't sure exactly how they found out but they knew. He heard the whispers. He had seen the looks. Right now he didn't need to worry about what the students or others thought. His only concern had been Hitoshi and Todoroki. Hitoshi had questioned him about Hizashi again but he didn't know what to say to him. What could he say when he didn't even understand?

Todoroki was still having nightmares. Shouta's room had burn marks lingering on the walls from Todoroki accidently activating his quirk in his sleep again. Shouta didn't mind. He just wanted to get Todoroki the help he needed but he needed Todoroki to fully be able to trust that judgement. He needed Todoroki to be comfortable.

His mind constantly ventured to Hizashi. He wanted to speak to him. Needed too. He had to understand exactly what was going on. In simple words, he was torn. Hizashi had tried to kidnap him at one point and that had started his alliance with Dabi. Now, Hizashi was saving his students from his father? None of it made sense to him.

They had an hour before the start of homeroom. Todoroki had gone to take a shower in his bathroom while Hitoshi sat on the edge of his bed pulling on his school uniform. Shouta finished putting on the last of his hero costume before sitting down at his desk and rummaging through his students' homework once more to make sure it was all graded.

"Um, dad?" Hitoshi whispered, gaining Shouta's attention. The Omega looked up from the papers and over to his son, putting them down once he saw the look on Hitoshi's face. "Do you really think that Yamada is actually a villain?" The question had caught Shouta completely off guard. The person he would expect to question Hizashi's loyalties would be Hitoshi.

"I'm not exactly sure, Hito. From everything I know so far, his parents were villains and he was raised to be one but the way he acts is different." Shouta stated after a moment of thought. Hitoshi frowned, picking at his nails. "Hitoshi, look at me." It took a moment before the teen looked up from his hands to his father. "What exactly are you thinking?"

The purple haired Omega sighed. "The only villainous thing I've seen from him was when he attacked you that day and then tried to kidnap you but... he... he saved Todoroki. He legit went to where ever Todoroki was, talked against his own father and took Todoroki. I don't know what to think anymore." Hitoshi muttered. "Todoroki told me what happened that he could remember."

Shouta gave a soft smile, getting up from his chair before striding over to his son. He wrapped his arms around Hitoshi's shoulders and pulled the teen against him. "I don't know what's going on with him, honestly. If I had to say, he wants to be a hero but doesn't know how." Shouta replied, pulling away and kneeling in front of his son. "One thing I will never doubt in my life is how much Yamada loved you."

Hitoshi looked back up, tears clouding his eyes as he looked over to Shouta. "Than why did he do all of this?" The teen questioned, his voice cracking with each word.

Shouta only smiled as he reached up and cradled his son's face in his palm. "From what the detectives have found, I think he didn't have a choice. What I saw, it looked like he was protecting you and me by doing what he did." He paused, using his thumb to wipe one of the tears away from Hitoshi's cheek. "And when Todoroki got taken, the man that I fell in love with resurfaced. The hero that is within him. We have to take this one step at a time. I don't know what the future holds at this moment but my main concern is you, this baby, Todoroki, and my students." He stated, getting up from his kneeling position. Rounding the room, he snatched up his capture weapon and put it on his neck where it belonged.

Hitoshi took in a deep breath, forcing his constricted lungs to fill up with air. "Whatever you do, dad. Please don't let him hurt you again." He whispered, not looking up to see the puzzled look on the elder Omega's face.

"If it was possible for him to return... would you want him too?" Shouta questioned, this time catching Hitoshi off guard.

He wasn't able to reply as the bathroom door opened and Todoroki stepped out completely dressed for class. "It's time to head to campus." Shouta said, looking over to the clock on the wall.

Hitoshi nodded. Honestly, he didn't know how to answer his father's question. A part of him hated Hizashi and never wanted to see him again. The other part screamed for Hizashi to return so they could be a family again. His gaze ventured over to Todoroki. He had found out a few days prior that Todoroki had been staying in his father's room due to nightmares causing his quirk to accidentally activate in his sleep. Guilt ate at him knowing that his own grandfather had caused so much pain to the other Omega. Todoroki didn't deserve any of what his grandfather caused. Hizashi had played a role in rescuing Todoroki from Kenzou's grasp. Maybe his father was right, Hizashi wanted to be a hero. He wanted to be home. Yet, he just didn't know how.

The walk to the main campus seemed to drag on as all three of them were lost in their own minds. Shouta trailed in the back as the boys walked in front of him. His eyes lingered between the two. He could see the conflicted look on his son's face and the look of terror and loss in Todoroki's.

This entire situation was getting way out of hand. He wished with everything he had that he could turn back time and try and get Hizashi to tell him what was really going on. Maybe than, Todoroki's kidnapping and attempted sexual assault would of never happened. Hitoshi wouldn't be on the brink after being abandoned by his Alpha father. He should of known. He should of seen this coming. Hizashi had been a light in his life when everything around him had been nothing but darkness. Shouta couldn't help but wonder if Hizashi had told him when they were teenagers, if he would of believed him in the first place. Hizashi never seemed like the kind of man who would turn out to a villain or even a so called villain.

Arriving at the classroom, Shouta could already here the rest of the students talking loudly and laughing. No matter what this world seemed to throw at those kids, they never lost their smiles. The only time he had ever seen them remotely look beated had been Bakugou had been kidnapped at the training camp. Even through the pain, they had devised a plan and managed to save their classmate without breaking any laws. These kids were going to be excellent heroes one day.

Hitoshi and Todoroki entered the room first before Shouta stepped in and the class immediately went quiet and got into their seats. "Good morning." He muttered, each of the students replying to him as he walked up to his podium and looked out at them. "Alright, today we are working in pairs. I'm going to split you off into groups of four with a pair and you will train against the opposite team. It's similar to the Sports Festival's final round. Once you are out of bounds, you are out. If you can't continue, you are out. I've put you in pairs this time based off of relationships within the class." He stated, clicking the remote on his desk to show the projection behind him. "Listed behind me is your partner and who you will be versing."

"Todoroki and Shinsou are paired up against Midoriya and Bakugou. That one I didn't see coming." Kaminari stated, confusion on his face as he read the list. He had been paired with Jirou to verse Yaoyorozu and Kirishima.

Shouta turned his gaze to him and immediately Kaminari apologized and looked down at his desk. "Like I said, I parted you up based off of relationships. Whether that relationship be platonic or romantic. Todoroki is paired with Shinsou because of recent events, they have grown closer. With the varying differences in their quirks, I want to see how they would work together. On the other hand, Midoriya and Bakugou have a rivalry but have both fought Todoroki one on one before. Midoriya has also versed Shinsou. This group was based completely off of their own actions. It's no secret that Midoriya and Todoroki are in a relationship while Shinsou and Bakugou are in a relationship." He paused, watching the interest spark within the class. "At time as heroes, you could end up coming across some one that you have known or had a relationship with before in the past. As heroes, you have to overcome that obstacle to protect those around you. That is why this specific group was made." He explained. "Sometimes, even the last person you would except could be your greatest ally. So get dressed out and we will meet outside at the field." He finished, clicking the next button so his students could get their costumes.

His students didn't say another word as they got up and grabbed the case that was assigned to them. His gaze lingered onto Todoroki for a moment. A bad feeling settled in his stomach. He forced the feeling away as he gathered up his own stuff and headed for the door. He just hoped that he was making the right decision with this assignment. This assignment had been planned for a while but with the previous events that happened, he had to put it off. This same assignment had been one he planned before Hizashi's betrayal. Maybe that's where this feeling came from. Did he somehow predict that someone so close to him would be on the opposite side of him?

Ever since his conversation with Aizawa, pieces seemed to be falling perfectly in place for him. Dabi walked silently as he made his way towards Hizashi's current hideout. He had something that he needed to talk about with the Alpha.

Aizawa had calmed his nerves. It had been a while since their last meeting. He had been busy with the League and Hizashi hadn't been making any moves that would be revelant to Aizawa. So he had nothing that he could tell to that police detective or Aizawa.

Then that fateful day that he just happened to be walking by the shopping mall and ran into Hawks again. His worst nightmare had came true. Shoto had fallen into the hands of a villain. While Kenzou didn't directly do anything for the League of Villains, he played a role in how they got their funds to operate under the radar. He didn't know too much when it came to Kenzou, only what Kaede had told him. All she had done was warn him away from Kenzou but at the time luckily enough the Alpha male had been out of the country.

Hizashi had kept his word to him. He helped take Shoto from his cruel fate and returned him where he belonged. His brother was destined to be a hero. Not some housewife to a villain. Those actions alone told Dabi that Hizashi was never meant to be with the League of Villains. He was meant to be at U.A. as a teacher, a pro hero, a radio show host. He belonged in the normal world, not the underworld. Hizashi belonged alongside Aizawa and their son. Their unborn child.

Hizashi had promised him that he would get out of the League of Villains and take him with him. He wasn't sure why but he believed every word that came from the former hero. They could do this. Now that Shoto had been returned back to U.A., the heroes would know that they weren't truly aligned with the League. Aizawa and Detective Tsukauchi both knew his true intentions. Anyone after that would only be because of the hero and the detective telling them. Kaede had been the original person to know about his brother, his home life. His family. He missed his siblings. He missed his mother. If it hadn't been for that night, he would still be there. He would of never of become Dabi.

This was his life now. He had an Alpha.. of sorts. He wasn't mated or bonded but Tomura was the closest thing to an Alpha he had. He didn't love him. Hell, he could barely tolerate him half the time. It just happened really. Of course most of it had been all of Tomura's doing but Dabi didn't stop it. He was supposed to be a villain after all. He had told Kaede about what Tomura had been doing to him. She must of told Yamada and that's why he offered to help him get out of the League. However, even if he had left the League, he would most likely end up in jail. He had done a lot of bad things during his time with the League.

He had been the one who actually pulled that kid... Bakugou through the warp gate at the training camp. He had killed people. He had to keep up this appearance. It was all for Shoto's protection. When he had seen him at the training camp, he had dropped the hint that he knew him. He had taunted Shoto. Had said his name. It could of been just written off as seeing the Sports Festival. He had watched it. He had seen the way that his brother had completely shut down in his fight with Bakugou. Shoto could of won the entire thing but instead he chose to not use his fire and threw the match. It had lead the League to seeing Bakugou's violent tendencies. Bakugou's reaction to Shoto. For that he knew that Shoto would never forgive him. He could live with that. He couldn't live with Shoto's life being destroyed because of something that he could of stopped. That's why he was doing this.

If working with Yamada would help him protect Shoto, that was what he was going to do. He would work beside the Alpha and finally ensure that Shoto's future was set in stone. All of it had been for him. Every step he took. Every moment of his life. It was all for Shoto.

It hadn't taken him long to arrive at Yamada's hideout. Dabi looked around for a moment before he opened the door and allowed himself entry to the home. He could already here the soft humming coming from the Alpha when he slipped his shoes off at the door and slid on a pair of the house shoes that Yamada left there. Ever since he started this so called alliance with the Alpha, the Alpha had gotten a few things for him to keep at the hideout.

"Yamada!" The Omega announced, catching the blonde's attention. Yamada rounded the corner and grinned at him. "I saw Aizawa not to long ago. Shoto is doing fine physically but mentally Kane got to him." Dabi said, slipping off his coat as he walked by the blonde and into the kitchen.

"Todoroki will heal. It might take time but if those students have any say, especially Midoriya, he will be absolutely fine." Yamada replied. The Alpha turned his back to him and continued with the food that he had been making before Dabi's arrival.

Dabi took in a deep breath. "Shoto wasn't the only thing that me and Aizawa talked about." Dabi's words forced Yamada to look at him with a spike of interest. "Aizawa asked me about you. The reason that he called to meet up with me had been because of you."

Yamada stared at him in complete shock. "He asked about me?"

Dabi nodded, "Aizawa wanted to know why you helped rescue Shoto. I told him everything that you had told me. You were never meant to be a villain, Yamada. You were meant to be a hero and you know it." The Omega said, watching as Yamada grabbed ahold of the counter to keep himself standing. "I knew that the minute that you promised to get me out of the League and reunite me with Shoto."

Yamada cracked a smile. "So why exactly are you were, Dabi."

Class was going as smoothly as it could possibly go. Each group was taking turns in their matches. The first four groups had already gone so it had left just Todoroki, Hitoshi, Midoriya, and Bakugou left to go. Now both pairs stood on the battle field that Cementoss had created for them the night before. The arena was made almost identical to the one that had been used during the Sports Festival. Todoroki and Hitoshi stood to one side while Midoriya and Bakugou took up the other.

Shouta could already feel the headache coming on from the shouting that he knew would be coming from Bakugou when they started. "Ready..." He shouted, watching as each of them got into a fighting stance. Hitoshi grabbed ahold of his own capture weapon, ready to send it out at any moment. Todoroki turned to where his back was facing Hitoshi. Shockingly enough to him, Midoriya and Bakugou stood with their backs to each other as well. Midoriya was already glowing with green lighting surrounding him as Bakugou's hands smoked. "GO!"

Midoriya was the first to move from his spot. He launched himself into the air as Todoroki sent out a line of ice towards the green haired Alpha. Bakugou jumped from the ground, just in time to miss Hitoshi's scarf. The blonde Alpha released a couple of explosions, propelling himself into the air.

Shouta's gaze moved away from the two Alphas to their Omega counterparts. Todoroki's face was completely blank as Bakugou shot in his direction and Midoriya turned at last second, going towards Hitoshi. Hitoshi did a backflip, missing Midoriya's kick by a centimeter. Once Hitoshi's feet were back on the ground, he kneeled to the ground. He grasped his capture weapon and sent it flying towards Midoriya. The scarf wrapped around Midoriya's ankle and Hitoshi turned his body and grabbed ahold of the scarf. He pulled and forced Midoriya's body out of the air and onto the ground.

Shouta watched closely, Midoriya's foot had been only a few inches from getting the boundary that would of eliminated him from the match. Bakugou set off a three more explosions, forcing himself up into the air and away from Todoroki's onslaught of ice. Once Bakugou cleared the ice, Todoroki used his left side and a trial of fire followed after the blonde Alpha. Bakugou held out his right hand into the opposite direction and activated his quirk once more, dodging the oncoming fire at last second. Throwing his arms behind him, he took Todoroki's moment of hestitation and used a string of explosions to rocket himself towards Todoroki.

Todoroki's eyes widened as Bakugou closed in on him. The blonde Alpha used one hand to grab ahold of both of Todoroki's wrists and landed on Todoroki's stomach, causing both of them to crash to the ground. Bakugou was quick in his movements to pull out a roll of capture tape and wrapped around Todoroki's wrists and forearms. The dual haired Omega pulled at his bindings, his heart racing against his chest. His ears ringing. His breathing picked up into short, small breaths as his lungs refused to take in oxygen. Images of Kenzou Yamada flashed before his eyes, the smell of burning flesh returning.

Through his blurred vision, he could see Bakugou pulling away from him with a concerned look on his face. The blonde Alpha was forced to jump back as Todoroki activated both of his quirks, causing ice to shot out and trap both Midoriya and Hitoshi and fire to fly out in the opposite direction.

He could barely hear as Bakugou screamed out, "MR. AIZAWA, TODOROKI'S PANICKING!" Bakugou turned back to look at him, dropping his voice down low. "Todoroki, listen to me. You are having a panic attack. This is about that stupid fucker who took you right? Try to calm down."

"TODOROKI! Listen to me! You are at U.A., you are safe!" Midoriya yelled, trying to get out of the encasing of ice around his waist. Todoroki squeezed his eyes shut, attempted to make the images leave his mind. He could hear his classmates but his mind was back at the room.

His panic rose as he felt his quirk being suppressed and the ice and fire stopped their triade on the arena. "Todoroki, I'm going to cut the tape off." His arms were lifted gently off of the ground and he could hear the slicing sounds of a knife moving against the tape. Once his arms were free and the tape competely removed, he sucked in a deep breath, forcing his lungs to fill with air. "Todoroki, open your eyes. It's okay. You're okay."

"Todoroki, can you talk?" That voice belonged to Hitoshi. Hitoshi had been one of the ones he had been talking to since he had gotten back. Hitoshi never said much but he listened.

Todoroki choked down the knot in his throat and replied softly, "Yeah." Suddenly his mind went blank and his body tensed.

"Calm down, Todoroki. You are safe with your classmates... with my dad. You're at U.A." Hitoshi's voice rang through his head. He felt his body slowly relaxing and all the flashes of memories leaving. His breathing leveled out and he felt his quirk return. A hand landed softly on his forehead and his mind became clear again. He blinked a couple of times to uncloud his vision to see Shouta leaning above him.

Shouta carded his fingers through his hair and hummed softly like that day in the bathrooms. Todoroki took in a shaky breath, allowing his body to completely relax once more. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Aizawa. I don't know what happened." Todoroki whispered, finally finding the strength to sit up. He avoided looking at the rest of his classmates, not wanting to see any of the looks of pity that they might be giving to him.

Shouta just smiled softly. "I think I do. I should of done this a while ago but I need you to talk with a professional. This is not optional. If training is going to set you off, we need to get this under control." The homeroom teacher said, his voice remaining soft and calming as he looked down at the younger Omega. Shouta pulled his eyes away from Todoroki and looked over to Hitoshi. Midoriya had finally managed to break free from the ice and was working alongside Yaoyorozu to get Hitoshi's legs free. Sighing, he looked over to Iida. "Iida, watch over the class for a moment. I'm going to go make a call and get in contact with Principal Nezu."

Iida clapped his feet together and gave a quick bow. "Of course, sir."

Endeavor had been livid when he had received word that his son had been kidnapped. He had been notified by Hawks and since his relationship with Shoto, he had been kept off the rescue case. He didn't blame Eraserhead in the slightest. Eraserhead already blamed himself enough for Todoroki's kidnapping, he didn't need him down his throat either.

He had felt absolutely useless when Hawks and the other pros were starting rescue operations. They had little information to go on except for what they had gotten from Hawks' investigation along with Kenzou's sighting by Eraserhead.

Now that Shoto was back at U.A., he was able to work on the case again. Hawks is the pro hero that had been handling the questioning and interviewing of Shoto. Tsukauchi and Detective Aizawa were the police detectives in charge of the case from the police's investigation. He had received a call about Shoto's progress since his return by Eraserhead. At that moment, he wanted to drop everything and visit his son but with everything from the past, Eraserhead didn't think that it was a good idea at that time. He couldn't blame Eraserhead for that either. He had been a terrible father to Shoto in the past. He was doing everything in his power to be a hero and father that Shoto could say he was proud of and if Eraserhead said that he shouldn't stop by yet, he would respect that.

Now, he just had to make sure that Kane couldn't get to his son again. Hawks had filled him in on all the information that he needed for now. The information that shocked him the most had been who had rescued his son. The villain Dabi and the traitor Present Mic. According to Hawks, the two had showed up right as Shoto had been attempting his own escape and pulled him out of the grasp of his kidnapper. That had also been the first time that he had been told that Dabi had been working as a confidential informant for the police, Eraserhead, and now Hawks. While none of them could say what Dabi had been telling them, he couldn't get it out of his head. Dabi had betrayed the League by going after Shoto and rescuing him.

Currently, Tsukauchi and himself were going to investigate the house that Dabi had told them that Kane had been keeping Shoto in. The villain had warned them that their might not been a lot left of the place since he had attacked Kane with his quirk. On the call with Tsukauchi, the detective said that he doubted that Kane was still alive after Dabi initally stated that Kane had gotten the full brunt of his attack.

When they arrived at the scene, it had been obvious that Dabi had been there. half of the building was burnt to the ground. Endeavor felt the growl rumbling in his chest as he stepped out of the car and walked up the pavement towards the building. Tsukauchi trailed behind him but close enough that they could talk quietly.

Burnt wood crunched under his feet as he stepped into the remains of the left side of the house. "This had to be the room where Dabi and Yamada came in and found Todoroki." Tsukauchi stated, walking pasted Endeavor towards the remains of a couch and table. "In Todoroki's interview, he said that he collapsed from his injuries in this area." The detective added, walking over to stand next to the couch and by what appeared to be a door. "He also said that Yamada came up behind him and Dabi came into the room behind Kane. So he must of been facing towards that door." The detective kneeled, putting himself at where Shoto's eye level would of been and facing towards the still standing doorway.

Endeavor stood a couple of strides until he placed himself where Kane would have been standing. "If this is where that villain attacked him, shouldn't there be some sort of body or something here?" The hero stated, surveying the floor for any signs of a burnt corpse. "This is where Dabi would of started his attack. The walls here have burn marks spreading out from the door frame."

Tsukauchi stood back up to his full height, walking over next to the hero. "He could of possibly dragged himself away while Dabi and Yamada were escaping the fire with Todoroki. Behind the couch is where Todoroki said him and Yamada had landed." He paused, looking back to the couch. The front of the couch was nothing but ash but the back remained in tact. "Todoroki said Yamada shielded his body from the flames but after that he didn't remember much."

Endeavor nodded, still feeling the lingering anger inside of him. He turned on his heel, reaching out and pushing against the door. The wooden door collapsed under the touch and fell backwards. "You said that Shoto managed to get away from Kane, so he would of entered this room through this door. Where he was held had to be back this way."

Tsukauchi took in a deep breath, settling his own nerves. "Let's just hope we can prove Dabi's story. Todoroki had been so out of it that he didn't remember being here. Maybe we can also find the drug that had been used on him and get it to a lab." The detective stated, stepping over the fallen door after Endeavor.

The pro hero looked around, taking even breaths through his nose to keep himself calm. The halls were confusing as they moved through them. They seemed to be built with the purpose of keeping someone inside. His Shoto was smart, he would of known that.

Tsukauchi paused as he came up onto a door that had been almost broken into two. The detective pushed against the wood, getting the door to move just enough that both him and Endeavor could squeeze into the room. A small bed was placed adjacent to the door with a table sitting off to the side of the entrance. The lingering smell of an Omega's heat remained in the room. Endeavor allowed himself to growl out loud once he picked up the familiar scent of his son from the sheets on the bed.

The detective placed his hand on Endeavor's shoulder, forcing the older Alpha to look at him. "Endeavor, you need to remain calm. I know this is hard." Tsukauchi muttered, keeping his voice low.

Endeavor let out one more growl as he forced the unsettling feeling to go away. He walked around the room, surveying each inch of the room. The room had clear signs of a struggle. The bedding was half pulled into the floor. Spots of blood were splattered around on the floor in different areas. "This was definitely the room that he was in." Endeavor hissed, kneeling down and picking up the sheet with his fingertips. A necklace fell out of the twisted fabric and onto the floor.

Written on the necklace read: SHOTO. Endeavor recognized it. It had been a gift from that Alpha who had been courting his son. Shoto never took it off. Most of the time, he hid it under his clothes but when students would visit their families, he wouldn't hide it.

"This is Shoto's." Endeavor whispered, picking up the necklace and showing it to Tsukauchi. The detective looked over from where he was going through the desk.

The detective wore a grim look on his face as he looked over. Endeavor immediately jumped to his feet and looked at the contents of the drawers. His own stomach turned at the thought of what this villain was going to do to his son. Various Omega 'toys' were in the drawer with vials of blue liquid and different quirk nullifying bracelets and collars.

"Thank god, Todoroki ran when he had the chance." Tsukauchi muttered, pulling out an evidence bag and placing the contents of the drawer into the bag. "That necklace will have to go to evidence as well until I can get it cleared to be returned to him." He added as he was zipping up the bag in his hand.

"Now let's try and find Kane's body so we can just close this case and be done with it." Endeavor stated, stomping out of the room and heading back through the halls.

The school day was finally over and the students were one by one calling it a night. Todoroki had already disappeared into Shouta's room an hour before along with Hitoshi. Both of the teenagers crawling into Shouta's bed and curling into the comforting scent that belonged to Shouta.

Shouta had managed to get ahold of Hajime and arranged for the doctor to come to U.A. to evaulate and work with Todoroki. They had a close call today in class with Todoroki's quirk. Luckily, none of them had been in the area where Todoroki's fire. Hitoshi and Midoriya had been the only 'casualities' of his ice. With Todoroki still distressed, they couldn't risk him using his fire side to melt the two from the ice. Bakugou, Yaoyorozu, and Jirou did most of the work to get them out.

Hitoshi had been oddly quiet for the rest of the day since their talk that morning. He knew it had to be because of what he asked his son about earlier that morning. He didn't even know how to answer that question himself. How would he expect his son to know?

Shouta sighed as he rubbed circles into his swollen stomach. It was getting easier by the day to tell that he was currently carrying a pup. He could feel the little movements and flutters of his pup moving around every so often. A small smile came to his face with each little flutter. That was his baby.

He was pulled out of his thoughts as he phone vibrated in his pocket. He frowned for a second, looking over to the two sleeping teenagers before pulling it out of its confinements. The sudden light to made his eyes sting for a moment before they adjusted and he clicked on the message.

I have some information that you might find useful. Normal meet up area?

Taking one more peek over to his sleeping son and Todoroki, he sent a reply and slipped out of the room. Locking the door behind him, he looked above him to the other dorms to make sure that the lights were out before he headed towards the entrance of U.A. Their meet up spot was only a few blocks away from U.A.

Thoughts raced through his head as he headed towards their location. What could Dabi possibly know right now that he and the pro heroes didn't? Could Hizashi be making a move against them? Even after rescuing Todoroki? It didn't make sense. He had to find out though.

Shouta climbed the steps on the side of the building, preferring that method lately over using his capture weapon to pull himself up. He had to do what he could on his end to protect his unborn pup and if that meant going to slower route so be it.

It took him a couple of minutes to finally reach the top of the roof. He froze completely as his eyes settled on the last person he expected to see.
