AN: I am alive! Thank the gods, especially Hades, for letting me come back and finish. Thanks for being patient and hopefully I won't take to long next time, on with the show
-QT-
The police arrived shortly after, as well as a few pro heroes. The thugs were placed in police custody and taken down to the station, Saphira was covered in blood her right side was drenched in it seeing this the police placed her under arrest as well. Izuku and Mina were quick to defend her saying that she wasn't at fault she was only protecting the two of them. Izuku and Mina were questioned as to what happened, they were forefront about everything that occurred in the alley. The police officer's name was Naomasa Tsukauchi, he was a detective and since he was the best on the force had he was there right away. He thanked the children for being truthful and offered them a ride home to their respective homes. He was very polite and seemed to take his job very seriously, he even already called their parents letting them know that he was bringing them home safe.
"I will question Ms. Brim myself. If you children are to be believed then she was acting in your defense and her actions were not for an ill purpose." He looked to the children and smiled, "but I do believe that she was trying to protect both of you." He said with a knowing smile on his face.
"But how can you be so sure that we're telling you the truth?" Mina asked him, unsure as to why he was so trusting of two preteen children.
"Well that would be thanks to my Quirk," Izuku visibly straightened up and paid attention wholeheartedly, "Human lie detector, no one can lie to me without me knowing about it. Not once has my Quirk activated, showing me that you children can be trusted."
"Well, you must have very awkward surprise birthday parties then huh?" Mina said bluntly.
This elicited a laugh from the detective, "you don't even know the half of it."
They continued the rest of the trip in silence until they arrived at the Ashido house, Mina gave the detective a wave while giving Izuku a very big hug which left him turning red in the face. Once she pulled away from him, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and ran off to her house, Izuku's face turned so red that you could almost hear the steam from the heat. Tsukauchi smiled at the quick, but the rather cute display of affection he was a detective but he still has a heart.
Tsukauchi's phone started ringing he picked it up, it was the station. "Go for Tsukauchi." Izuku was still in the back seat of his vehicle, he was already heading to the boy's home.
"Sir, the thugs mentioned that boy quite a bit. They keep saying how he stole one of their comrades' Quirk. They saw him use his Quirk with their own eyes, but they also say that the silver-haired woman is a monster and how she gleefully beat them into submission. Also according to them, there were four guys, meaning we only have the three in custody and one lady who has the missing guy's blood on her."
"Thank you for informing me of the situation. Please hold Ms. Brim until I arrive to question her."
Tsukauchi looked at the boy through his rearview mirror, he was looking out his window out towards the countryside that was slowly disappearing.
"Izuku, can I ask you a question?" Tsukauchi asked while driving down the streets to get him home.
"S-sure, what d-do you w-want to ask me, sir?" Izuku asked, his anxiety slowly rising he wasn't used to talking to people, and it didn't help that he was a police officer as well.
Tsukauchi sighed, he realized that he was breaking a lot of codes right now, but he had to ask, he needed information for when he gets in contact with All Might. "Do you recognize this phrase in any way possible, All for One?"
Tsukauchi watched Izuku's face in the rearview mirror, he looked confused at first before he had a flash of recognition cross his face. "Do you mean the three musketeers? They were a group of three who fought for justice, they had the catchphrase: All for One, and One for All. That's all I really know about it, I'm just reminded of the old children's stories."
Tsukauchi's Quirk stayed inactive, that was the truth that was coming out of his mouth. Izuku was telling him the truth, he pulled up to the apartment complex that Izuku lived at. "Thank you Izuku, I have to run down to the station. I will be calling for a follow-up statement on what happened."
Izuku hoped out of Tsukauchi's Police cruiser and headed towards the apartment complex. While Tsukauchi's eyes narrowed, he has a suspect to interrogate waiting for him back at the station, he called All Might and asked him to meet at the station.
-QT-
Saphira sat at the table, talking to a detective.
'This is so boring,' she thought to herself. 'They keep asking me if I killed a man, I keep on telling them I didn't kill a man.' Saphira sighed to herself as the detective tried on of his interrogation tactics.
"The other three guys say otherwise, say that you came at them with a vengeance, beating them senselessly without any reason. So I figure that you tell me what the hell happened or I may have to turn the cameras off for a more personal interrogation."
"So are you saying that you believe the words of thugs, people who were trying to bring harm to those two children, over me and the kids themselves. You are starting to make me question why I bothered letting you take me in, I was really hoping to meet someone worth my time." She looked at the handcuffs that were keeping her at the table, she pried just a little and the metal links holding them together snapped apart easily.
The police officer freaked out and pulled his gun out immediately, "sit back down now, or I will be forced to open fire." The cop was starting to make her sick, his eyes showed hope that she resisted so he could shoot her.
However, before she could show how wrong this human was she heard the door to the interrogation room opening.
"There will be no need for that officer, for I am here." There was a huge man with blond hair that came up like a pair of antenna, he held himself with strength and power, however there was a certain smell coming from him, like that of a corpse, his body was failing him somehow, she didn't know how but she knew when to push her luck and now wasn't the time. Saphira narrowed her eyes slightly observing this hero, Japan's symbol of peace.
The officer quickly nodded his head, while having the nerve to ask for his autograph. All might nodded while signing his hat, without even looking at the man, his focused squarely on her. 'So he is prideful, but not blinded by it. Good.' The officer left with a smile on his face.
The room fell into silence once the cop left the room, leaving the two of them analyzing each other.
All might broke the silence first, by pulling up a chair and taking a seat at the table. He gestured to the chair on her side, beckoning for her to sit at the table with him.
He thought her to be powerless, while that was a good thing she couldn't help scowling while sitting in the chair.
"So are you here to take me super prison, or are you going to kill me."
"I am not here to take your life, young miss. I just have a few questions for you, and I implore you to be honest with me because I will know when you are lying to me." His blue irises flicking towards the one-way mirror.
"Well, just for your knowledge, even if you tried to take my life, it would be impossible for you to kill. I just can't die no matter how much I want to." Saphira smiled at the unnerved expression the hero took, it made her words all the more chilling because of how cheery she sounded about it.
His eye's flicked to the mirror, his expression growing more perturbed. Apparently, the thing that was supposed to tell him she was lying, didn't do anything, at least whatever it was worked.
"OK, well then can you tell me your name first, miss?" All might looked at her expectantly, patiently waiting for her.
"My name is Saphira Brim, now go ahead and ask your questions, I want to leave now because I have work tomorrow." She said while placing her head down on top of the table.
All Might's eyes lit up with brief recognition from her name. "Are you Jack and Mary Brim's daughter?"
Upon hearing those words come from his mouth her head jerked right off the table and she stared at him in shock. She didn't know that her mom and dad knew this hero, but she did remember them saying they had a good friend who helped them from time to time.
"How do you know my parent's?"
"I am the one who stopped them when they lost control," he said while staring at her gravely. "They were not called the savage heroes for nothing after all."
"Then were the one who killed them," Saphira whispered, her voice barely audible over the air conditioner noise from the ceiling.
All Might blinked in surprise, he didn't know that her parents were dead. "I-I didn't know that I am sorry for your loss young miss," All Might bowed his head in respect to her.
"Thank you, but before you get off topic, aren't you here to question me about the crime scene." Her parents have been dead for 5 years at this point, so her wounds were more healed than they were.
"Right you are," All Might nodded. "Can you tell me what happened in your own words?"
She nodded and began to regale the tale of what happened to him. She told him of how she could her the danger, but how she couldn't tell who was who, and how she ran to where it was, leaping across rooftops. Then about the four thugs that were chasing the children, then the gravel storm that was sent towards them and how she jumped in the way of the gravel.
She pauses for a second thinking about something before reaching towards her head, her eyes widened in shock as she felt nothing. "Did the police happen to find a tri-corn hat lying around the scene?"
He nodded, to which she sighed in relief, All Might waved her on to continue the story.
"I am sorry, around here is where things get a little bit fuzzy for me. I do remember fighting the thugs," 'more like slaughtering them' a little voice in her head whispered, "but I protected the children that much is for certain. That is all that I can truly remember."
All Might stayed quiet while looking at her before he looked towards the one-way mirror. There was a clicking noise revealing the man standing behind the mirror, behind it was a man with short black hair and black irises, he was pretty much plain in every other aspect.
"She is telling the truth," said the man behind the mirror. "That still doesn't explain the blood on your jacket."
All Might brought his fist to his chin, closed his eyes and furrowed his brow. He was thinking about something.
"How similar is your quirk to your parents, Saphira?"
"Why do you want to know that, what does that have to do with this at all?" Her eyes narrowing as she stared at the pro hero.
"I know that your father's quirk was sanguine retribution, where the more blood he shed from his enemies the more he was empowered. He could heal wounds, increase his speed and strength, these were the reasons he fought with that weapon he designed, The Saw Cleaver, that horrifying weapon spilled a lot of blood. The major weakness of his quirk would be the bloodlust that could overwhelm him making him a danger to anyone around him. While your mother's quirk was a beastial form, hers was more simple, she could control how large and monstrous her body could become, However, the more she used it the more she became a monster herself losing herself to the primal urges of a beast. I know all about them, they told me themselves, their reasoning being that if they lost control that I could stop them. They were amazing heroes, they didn't have to do anything but show up at scenes and criminals and villains alike surrendered immediately, I only had to stop them twice and even then it was a close fight, they nearly killed me a couple times."
Saphira sat still, considering her options. If she told him a lie then he would probably be able to call BS on her, sighing she decides to bite the bullet.
"My Quirk is a combination of both," she sighed and sagged in the chair waiting for them to call her out and throw her in a cell because she was too dangerous to walk free.
"Really?" All Might asked, "How do you feel about beasts?"
Saphira's entire demeanor changed in an instant, from quiet and waiting to one brimming with hatred.
"I hate beasts and I will do everything I can to kill them no matter what the cost. I especially hate beasts that parade around like humans, those are the worst and they need to be purged like the cancer they are."
"Did you kill a beast in that alleyway or a human?" The man behind the mirror posed the question.
"I killed a beast that wished to harm the children, it kept squealing about its quirk being stolen. It offered me money if I let him harm them, it was a beast wearing human skin, what I did to it was justified in every meaning of the word." Saphira's mouth twisted into a grin that showed too many teeth, her teeth were sharpening and growing as she kept talking. "I think that the quick death I gave it was too kind, but it is no longer walking spreading its taint and poison."
"Well, we know where that fourth thug went now don't we," the mirror man muttered to himself. "Where did you dispose of the beast's body?"
"I threw it into the trash where it belonged after all trash is trash." She waved her hand in a dismissing matter. "Now then, what is going to happen to me."
"You're not really yourself right now, are you." Said All Might, who had been silent till this point.
She gasped in mock shock, "How could you say such a thing, I am me always have been always will be."
"What was that phrase Jack used to calm himself down," All Might muttered underneath his breath. "The hunt is over and the day approaches, all the blood that was needed to be spilled was spilled. The Hunter's job is over, now is the time for rest and preparation." He made a small face at the phrase Jack would recite, he didn't really approve of it but it made him calm but did he really have to say that to her when she was a baby? A scene of Jack holding Saphira in his arms, covered in blood and holding the Saw Cleaver in one hand, a truly terrifying image depending on who you asked.
Saphira's breath caught in her throat at the familiar phrase of her father. She visibly slumped against the table, obviously drained and exhausted.
"Thank you," she quietly muttered to All Might. "You still haven't told me what you were going to do with me yet though."
"You know of U.A right?"
She nodded.
"Well, I happen to know the current principle Nezu, he should be more than happy to help you, considering your circumstances. If he agrees to take you in I'll owe him a favor, he has already been asking me to help teach the future generation of heroes, this should keep him off my back for a little while hopefully." All Might gave a slight chuckle which caused him to cough into his hand, violently.
Saphira could smell the sickly sweet stench of the iron-rich blood enter the air. She looked closely at the pro hero, but she kept her mouth shut it wasn't any of her business.
"In all seriousness though, Nezu is a good person, he knew the savage heroes personally. I am sorry for never showing up at their funeral," his eyes turned somber, "and I called myself their friend. I hope that I can make up for this slight towards you in any way." All Might stood to leave the room, he already called and informed Nezu of the issue.
-QT-
A small white furry creature walked up towards Saphira.
"Hello, I am Principle Nezu and I am here because All Might called me," Nezu said, Saphira met his eyes and saw the familiar swirl of insanity and kindness. "I am going to looking after you for the coming years, I hope we can get along," Nezu said while extended his paw in her direction, which Saphira gladly met with a smile on her face just as big as Nezu's.
"Of course, I look forward to getting to know you, Mr. Nezu"
Nezu already had an idea hatching in his head, this young hero could be a serious help in training the future generation. Everyone needs experience dealing with a monster don't they, his smile grew even wider. "Oh, the fun we will have, Ms. Brim."

AN: I wanted to make it a bit longer but, I feel like I delayed long enough. School work has been getting to me and you know depression about whether or not I'm good enough for anything, but I am working through it and not letting it keep me down. Enough about that I am pretty sure no one wants to hear my whining or ranting.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter even if it was more focused on Saphira, I needed to do this now for future plot points. She, however, won't show up in the next chapter as that will be a Mina and Izuku centric chapter, mostly cute little bonding moments and the like. If the chapter felt off in any way it was because that I took a break when writing and when I came back and read it, it felt too forced. So I pushed myself and continued with it even when it hurt. I really love the IzuMIna Ship, I just finished reading a good one by 12AngryMen, Acidic Affection. I really liked it and I am going to reading more of their works.
Also, I was thinking of writing a Short comedy one shot for the Horror movie, "The Nun" if you wish to know more, feel free to PM me or comment and I will get back to you. The chapter of my other fic with The Prototype x RWBY crossover, once you see the title some of the plot may be obvious, but I hope that people will enjoy it.
See everyone later.
