Authors Note: Hey everybody and I'm back for another chapter. Apologies for not posting new chapters lately as I took a short hiatus to release all the stress inside me and right now my head feels lighter than before and I'm very confident on making chapters on my two pending works.

The other one titled 'Quirkless Revolution', I've already created a story flowchart of it and will soon write the first main chapter this coming June. I know the introduction and the teaser was a tad bit short, but I assure you guys that you won't disappoint, I hope (lmao).

Moving forward, this chapter tackles about Izuku telling his story to Katsuki about his experience with league of villains and that includes the people he trusted the most.

Enjoy reading and thank you to Hardcasekara for helping me out!

Mea Culpa (I Confess) – Part 1

"Truth is like a dark mirror"

Date: 03 October

Time: 10:45 PM onwards

Location: Police Force Headquarters

Detective Naomasa, Sansa Tamakawa, Izuku, and Katsuki POV

"Detective Naomasa?" He blinked.

Naomasa waved with a smile upon seeing his presence. "Hey there, Izuku. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine as always, sir detective. What brings you here? Anything you need to speed up the investigation?"

"I have good news to tell you regarding the investigation and I would like to invite you to the police force headquarters. Are you done with your tasks at school?"

Izuku tilted his head with a mutter. "Uhh…I think so."

"Ah, that's good to hear." He smiled. "I'll be sending my colleague Sansa Tamakawa to the school and he'll pick you up at the entrance of Heights Alliance. Regarding the investigation, two known members of League of Villains turn themselves to us and surrendered for their crimes."

"What?!" The green haired widened his eyes with shock as he came closer to the screen. Katsuki had no idea what was going on as he was observing their conversation.

"Detective…may I know who they are?"

"Oh Izuku, you'll find out once you arrive. They were your 'closest' colleagues in the league after all." The officer grinned.

He asked himself. "What?" Then let out a soft mumble. "Closest?" Izuku blinked twice and backed away from the laptop screen.

"Could it be Dabi and Toga? Did they finally acknowledge what I said before leaving the league? Will they also want redemption from their mistakes just to start over again?" He thought to himself.

"Sir Detective, I want to ask what time shall I meet your colleague at the dorm?"

"Sansa will be there in a few minutes." The detective checked the time on his wristwatch. "I've already informed the school for borrowing you to the police force for a short time, let's say a maximum of one hour. I know it's pretty late and I don't want to be a burden of you taking a day and cram night classes, but I don't want you to miss this."

"It's okay. I also want to know who they are anyway." He nodded. "Can I at least have one companion to join me there at the station as a witness?"

"Of course. However, a companion can only stay at the headquarters lounge for he/she is not allowed to go inside the interrogation room for security purposes. You may ask your class president or…" He pointed something behind the green-haired. "the one who is sitting there at the bed topless." He chuckled. "Is that a buddy of yours?"

"E-Eh? Uh-Uhmm..yeah.."

Izuku glanced back at Katsuki who got noticed by the officer. The ash blonde blushed a bit before putting on his tank top again.

He muttered at his partner with a waved hand. "Kacchan, put some clothes on—"

"S-Shit, I'm sorry.."

Izuku went back on the screen, talking to the detective "Y-Yeah…I'll just choose him to assist me then."

"Good. We'll meet you at the HQ. My colleague will arrive shortly."

"Understood. Kacchan and I will wait at the Heights Alliance lounge area."

"Noted on that. Detective out~" He smiled and logged off the video session.

Izuku closed his laptop and let out a deep sigh before standing up to approach his lover.

"I need you to come with me at the HQ, Kacchan. You've heard the detective."

Katsuki placed his hand on the other's shoulder with a nod. "Are you sure you're ready to face them, Deku? The people you worked with in the past? How can we be so sure that they've really surrendered? I bet it's a fucking trap from those villains!"

"Hush, Kacchan." He shook his head. "I think I've figured out who they are when the detective told me that they were my closest colleagues back then. For now, return to your dorm and get some change. I'll meet you at the lounge."

"Right. But you have to tell me everything when we get inside the police car, alright?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Sure. O-Of course." He nodded.

Katsuki, later on, left the room as Izuku grabbed his hoodie and sneakers from the closet and wore it. From the bed, he took his phone and tidied up his things before leaving the dorm.

A few minutes of preparing themselves, the two met and waited at the lounge. Izuku sat on the couch and played his fingers to release tension inside him, although he feels a bit shaky, chilly and nervous. He couldn't even imagine himself what would be his reaction once he finally meets them for the first time since he left the so-called 'family'.

Katsuki, who was sitting beside him, noticed his lover looking nervous. He placed his hand on the other's hand before intertwining it.

"Oi, don't be nervous, you stupid nerd."

Izuku loved the warmth and comfort he received as he tried to calm his nerves by taking deep breaths. "S-Sorry. Even if we haven't reached the HQ, I feel a bit anxious."

"Well, don't be. If that's their way of redeeming themselves after their crimes then good for them. I wish they won't do something stupid this time."

"Me too, Kacchan…me too." He smiled and rested his head on the other's shoulder. Katsuki gladly accepted it as he held him close and placed a kiss on other's forehead.

A few moments later, a phone vibrated inside Izuku's pocket, he quickly brought out his phone and checked the message.

"Who is it?"

The other one read the message, resulting in him to stand up. "It's Officer Tamakawa and he has arrived outside the dorm. Let's go."

"It's about time." The ash blonde stood up as well as the two later exited the building, finally saw the officer standing and waiting beside the police car.

"It's good to see you again, young man." The officer with the head of a cat opened the car door for them to enter.

"Yeah, it's been a while." Izuku smiled a bit.

"A police officer with a head of a cat? Looks like he's wearing a freaking mascot or something—" He muttered.

"This is really my head, for your information. Anyway, the detective is waiting at the HQ so kindly enter the car."

The two entered the car and let themselves comfortable. The officer closed the door as he proceeded on entering the driver seat to start driving, leaving the school's vicinity.

As the car began moving away from the current location, the half-and-half teen Shoto suddenly went outside of the dorm and observed the car leaving the school. He had mixed thoughts inside his head, concerned about the ongoing investigation of Izuku and the league. Again, he made another secret eavesdropping at the couple earlier at the lounge and heard some parts of it.

He looked up at the night sky filled with dazzling stars and a full moon with questions and thoughts he couldn't even answer.

"What if big brother Touya finally gave up and surrendered to the police force? There are so many assumptions I have in mind after hearing their conversation. I highly doubt it for he has big resentments towards our father…"

"But wait…n-no..no."

"But at the same time, he worked with Midoriya before and maybe they were in a good state at the league in the past."

"or did Midoriya convince or change his mind about switching sides?"

"and told that violence cannot be solved with another violence?"

"Will he finally realized that there's still a small redemption inside him?"

"to gain back his honor towards our family despite the unfair treatment he endured during his early youth?"

"Whatever the outcome will be, my family misses you so much…"

"Give our father another shot to be a father he never was…."

"Big brother Touya, I will wait for you…"

On the road with no traffic on different streets of Musutafu, they were comfortably sat at the back seat of the car while being assisted by Officer Tamakawa. To release out tensions and nervousness of the two teens, Sansa played some music on the radio and reminded them to chill and try to relax until they reach their destination.

Before he started to tell stories about his former organization, mostly some notable and close people he worked with, he told his partner not to tell anyone especially his classmates.

"The investigation is still ongoing and I don't have any idea regarding the progress of the case as I'm heavily loaded by school works at U.A., thinking that these would keep me productive without worrying about everything. Not even our class president and the vice president know this so please don't tell anyone~"

"What's the use of our relationship if we can't trust each other, you nerd? Of course, I won't tell a goddamn soul!" He huffed and crossed his arms. "Go on, I'm listening."

"Good." He sighed and rubbed his temples. "I don't know where to start, but I'll try my best to tell you according to my experience with them."

He took deep breaths and closed his eyes before exhaling, opening slowly his contacts before looking at his partner with a serious look.

"Aside from my talks with the detective an hour ago, he did another interrogation towards me a week before our date. They've already gathered data from me about the remaining whereabouts of members of the league, noting my closest acquaintances I could count on my fingers. They found my old hideout, the bunker where I used to work after I left the league and it contained some confidential papers I secretly stole, their future plans to end the peace in the hero community."

Katsuki looked down with a slow nod, decided not to answer while listening to his story.

"To prevent fear from the public, they decided not to disclose the information despite pressure coming from the media both local and international. Moving forward, when the detective and I discussed the members of the league and one of them is my former girlfriend.." He let out a wry smile and a nervous chuckle.

"Tch! What about your former fucking girlfriend, Deku?!" Katsuki huffed.

"Please don't be jealous again, Kacchan. We remained friends before I left the group."

"Whattafuckever! Just tell me what's so special about that bitch?"

"Her name is Himiko Toga. Most of the time, my colleagues and I call her 'The Deceiver' or 'Doppelganger' for her expertise in disguising, espionage, and assassination. Her quirk is 'transform' which grants her ability to copy the complete appearance of another person by ingesting blood. Aside from that, she's also a knife expert and able to fight multiple foes without any assistance. She may look cute in her appearance, but she has a deadly and crazy side of her."

"So was she responsible for drugging a student from Shiketsu High? Now I understand."

"She was allegedly participated during your Provisional Hero License event but didn't interrupt the program. According to the detective, her motives is still unknown but now we'll have answers once we reached the hq."

"And are you sure that Himiko person is one of the members of the league surrendered to the police force?"

"I hope so. Like me, her mind was manipulated by All For One to do bad things in order to fulfill the goals. When we were together, she had an abusive and dark past with her parents, resulting to leave the house and live by herself. She was being misunderstood and treated like crap by society, her quirk is the reason why she's like acting crazy and all, but deep inside, she really wanted acceptance and love from people. And that is why I came to help her and tried to break her mask."

"And then what happened? Did you try to change her mind or even convince her?"

"When I broke up with her and left the league, I tried to talk to her and offer to join me for a long journey of atonement for us to find true redemption inside us, unfortunately, she declined for she was afraid and feared for her life may be taken by our boss. She told me it was not really her time to decide as it was too soon. But one thing she told me before leaving, she will find her own way of disassociating herself from the group."

"I don't understand, Deku. You tried to fix her twisted mind, but then she drugged a student and did other bad stuff. I highly doubt she'll ever find redemption."

"She will, Kacchan and I believe in her as you believed in me back then at the coast. You know what they say, 'there is always a second chance'."

"But never a third…" The ash blonde added.

Izuku sighed and looked outside by the car window. "If she's one of the defectors at the hq, then I'm happy for her.." Few seconds of viewing outside, he returned his look at his partner.

"Ready for the next one?"

"I'm glad we stopped talking about your fucking crazy ex-girlfriend! Thank you, next!"

"So you're Ariana Grande now, eh? My dear sweet Kacchan is jealous once again~" The green haired giggled.

"Let's move on already, dammit!" He crossed his arms, blushing lightly as the jealousy triggered inside his head.

"Okay, okay~" He smiled and cleared his throat. "Did you remember your little argument with Shoto over me a week ago? It was like you were all fighting over a girl or something." He joked.

"Why is half-and-half included in our fucking conversation, huh? Is he a traitor to the heroes' side now?"

Izuku made a confused look and shook his head. "What the hell are you talking about? It's not what you think. He asked me something about his long lost brother and if I know him."

"Huh? He barely mentions his family or his siblings except for his father, Endeavor. What about his brother?"

"His big brother and I used to work together under the same organization. His name is Touya Todoroki, but we call him 'Dabi' for short. Yes, he's a long lost Todoroki since almost a decade now."

Katsuki's eyes widened and filled with awe and surprise. "You're saying his big brother is a villain?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"So how come he joined the villain side, Deku?"

"Have you watched the live interview of Endeavor a few weeks ago before I entered U.A.?"

The ash blonde stared into his lover's green contacts for a moment before letting out a bumble.

"O-Oh my God…"

"Just as I thought…" He grinned. "I know Shoto is not the open-type of guy and doesn't want to talk about his family even though he was aware of the abuse he received from his father. I'm quite surprised he didn't turn into a villain just like his older brother despite his big resentments towards the head of the family."

"Nah, I bet he's too sucks to be a villain. Tell me more about the older Todoroki."

"At a young age of 13, he left the household to escape the abuse and harsh training he received by his father, resulting to his appearance changed drastically and that includes his skin, face, body and hair color which turned into charred black due to his quirk called 'Combustion'. His power is similar to his father and Shoto's fire ability, but extremely hot than a normal fire quirk. He can combust anything he touches including hard materials. He can also generate flames to form defensive barrier walls protecting him from multiple ranged attacks. His flame has different color which is blue and if you've finally figured out or recognize it, his group was responsible for Forest Training incident a long time ago~ He did a massive forest fire to trap you all. In the end, their plan failed for I killed Muscular."

"Why didn't you stop and fight them then?"

"My dual quirks especially my demonic side weren't controllable and I have no match for them as of course, they were many including those who were close to me in the league. We made a promise that we don't make a single contact as I told the co-leader of the group that I won't interfere their plans. Another thing, I don't want you to get surprised when I suddenly appear in the forest from nowhere."

And so, the two continued to talk more regarding the notable people of the league and minutes had passed, they reached the police force headquarters.

Author's Note: Up next, two members of League of Villains turned themselves to the authorities, wanting to confess and spill the tea on the future plans of the remaining active members of the League. Who are the two defectors in the police force headquarters? How will Izuku react? Let's all find out in the next chapter!

I'm cutting this chapter short and I'll post the continuation of this at the end of the week. Apologies again for the short hiatus and now I'm so totally back in writing. Let me know what you think by leaving a review and I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
