Just get to the apartment, that was all they had to do, just get to the house and they could confirm if she was there. If she was they move her to a safe location and everything is fine. If she wasn't... If she wasn't they call it in and try to work things out from there. The pairing for this was…less than ideal as well from a personnel standpoint but you used what you had.
Bakugo had managed to speak to Toshinori, he still viewed the man as All Might even if he was a shadow of his former self. Bakugo was able to mention the concern he had, that if Izuku was a prisoner they might have been wanting to use his mother as a hostage to make him hand over One for All. That led to him being sent with glasses to go get Inko. There was a teacher meant to be with them as well but they were following at a closer distance and Bakugo frankly hadn't cared enough to actually check.
The pairing wasn't ideal for either of them but it did make a certain amount of sense. If Inko was a targed then they needed to get there quickly so powers for movement and speed were reasonable. And Bakugo was actually from the area so him being able to know the lay of the land was very helpful. Also he was one of the better combatants, so if there were people here to grab her Bakugo was in a good position to help fight them off. Iida was again primarily speed but also he was a friend to Midorya and presumably Inko would be willing to listen to him whereas she might not trust Bakugo or one of the teachers as much.
They reached the apartment, Iida finally spoke directly to Bakugo. "It seems strange that we'd be going here. If Midorya was captured by use of his mother as a hostage when she would already have been taken. If not I am somewhat less sure why we would need to be here now other than to deliver news. But in that case you would be the worst possible choice and I might be better suited to trying to patrol. They also wound not have sent Aizawa-sensei with us instead probably using All Might."
Bakugo cut him off, "Dumbass, All Might can't really be All Might anymore, and if there was any villain activity there he'd end up a hostage. I know he had a connection with stupid Deku but we don't know that whoever got Deku isn't going to get her. I'm here because I'm from around here so I know where to go and how to get around, and you're fucking fast when you need to be."
As for Aizawa he wasn't completely sure on that since he wasn't told but he was guessing it was because whoever Aizawa couldn't neutralize the two of them could deal with one way or another. The other reason was that he was probably the most mobile of the pro-heroes that were available to check though that didn't occur to either of them.
Bakugo was fairly certain that Inko hadn't been grabbed, it may have been wishful thinking but there was some logic too. No matter how intimidating a villain could be someone would probably have called about suspicious people around the building. Not to mention the fact that he assumed that Inko had probably started stacking security systems on top of each other given that he had overheard Deku telling a few of the others that his mother almost didn't want him attending UA anymore. Odds were she'd be paranoid about anyone breaking in when he was home so she would have taken more precautions. Though maybe that would only have been for him, not her.
The apartments were getting closer, Bakugo tried not to think about the fact that he didn't live too far from here. He doubted his family were targets, besides that he was fairly certain his hag of a mother would scare off any villain that tried attacking. Once they got to the complex he went to the building, and ran up to the door. He knocked a few times with no answer. Door was double locked, and he couldn't see any lights on inside. He muttered to himself and was about to blow the door off its hinges when Iida grabbed him.
"Bakugo we can't just go breaking down the door! For one thing this property belongs to someone and besides that such actions are not befitting that of a hero! We should try to find the building manager and then request.."
"Listen glasses, we can't. For one thing that's going to take more time and we don't know if there's some fucker behind the door! Also the building manager here might not be in, might be lazy or a drunk. Besides that we don't have warrants and if they're a hardass they are going to want to know why, and one of the big things was they didn't want a bunch of people finding out. And I'm pretty sure if they or anyone else hear about it it's going to end up all over Japan in an hour or less!"
They probably would have kept on arguing when suddenly they heard the tumblers of the doors lock shifting and the knob turning. Both of them suddenly prepared for the chance of an attack as the knob turned and the door opened. And on the other side of it was an annoyed looking Eraserhead.
"The two of you are far too loud. If there was a villain on this side of the door they would not only know that you two were here but they also would have been able to prepare and execute an ambush on you as well as moving a hostage into a position that would have made them much harder to rescue. Before either of you ask the way I got in was jimmying a window. There doesn't seem to be any signs of a struggle or forced entry aside from what I did but the two of you know Midorya better than I do and you might notice something that I could have missed. So come in quickly and go over the area, don't disturb anything or move anything if you think you see something to investigate call me."
After some hesitation Iida followed Bakugo in, murmuring that this felt wrong as if they were trespassing. Going over the apartment there wasn't anything that stuck out as wrong. No half finished meals or food being left in the oven or left out as though she had been taken in the middle of doing something. He looked the rooms over, he noticed a few pictures of Izuku and his family, though his dad wasn't in too many of them. He also looked into Izukus room, more out of morbid curiosity than any feeling that there was anything useful there and aside from a somewhat disturbing level of All Might everything seemed fairly normal.
Aizawa looked at the two of them, "If you haven't seen anything that looks oddly out of place then either there was no invasion here or if there was they were capable enough to clean up any messes made. I'm going to head out to assist in the greater search, you two are going to remain here and contact us if she comes back or if anyone else shows up. And before you try to argue if either you leave your post without being called away by an emergency or one of us consider it an expellable offense."
With that he left them there, both of them rather awkwardly set to now stand guard in the apartment on the off chance anyone showed up. There was a somewhat long silence, Bakugo silently running through a series of curses he wanted to unleash as well as mentally fantasizing about destroying certain things in the house. Iida mentally preparing an explanation to Inko Midorya for why they were there as well as hoping that the others would find his friend. And both of them, though they wouldn't admit it, were worried about Izuku and where he might be now.
Aizawa had already started contacting other search groups that were trying to find Inko Midorya. He didn't think she had been abducted from home but if they had been able to grab Izuku they could have easily gotten her somewhere else. She probably had a routine but unfortunately the only person that might have known it was the person they knew had been grabbed. He could make a few guesses based off of some of the brands he saw and a few recipts that were in the kitchen, but that didn't help much. He called up a few police contacts he had, giving them descriptions and sending a few pictures of Inko saying that she was a person of interest. He needed her as a witness and asked if any had seen her recently or heard anything about her. Having them check CCTV cameras throughout the province.
Between his contacts and the student groups looking for her in other areas there had been a few possible sightings. Seeing her on trains or in crowds, but in each case it was fleeting. The fear that the Inko that was spotted being a shapeshifter using her as a mask was considered. Multiple heroes tried to recover the trail as did police. The fact that every attempt to call her went straight to voicemail managed to feel rather ominous as well.
Inko sighed to herself about the frustrations of the day she had had so far. There was a school break coming soon and she had been hoping to surprise her son with his favorite meal. He had been doing well, he had even managed to assuage at least some of her fears about the situation at UA. The problem was that she had run out of some of what she needed. She already was planning to go grocery shopping so she would just need to go on a somewhat larger trip.
She ended up having a few more annoyances throughout the day too. For one thing she ended up missing her stop on the train so she was further than she would have liked. It wasn't a disaster, just meant that she had to go further to find some of what she was looking for and probably shop at a few unfamiliar stores or take the train back, to her previous stop though given how long that would take she was probably better off doing at least some of her shopping here. She also made another realization a bit too late, when she checked the time she noticed that her phone was dying. That shouldn't have happened since she had left it plugged in charging the night before.
She realized that either her phone was malfunctioning or she was going to need to get a new charger and cable. At this point either was possible and admittedly while this area was more expensive it did have some kiosks that could look her phone over which was an improvement over not having the option. It did add more time to her shopping trip though fortunately for her she didn't have anywhere to be. She thought briefly about Izuku she still worried about him but she was glad he was in the dorms at UA if only because now she wouldn't have to worry about him worrying at home about her.
After a few kiosks two of which were staffed by people that managed to combine being both condescending and ignorant of her phone and one case of a clear scammer she did manage to find out that the problem must have been with the charger which did make some sense. It was older and it would at least be easier to replace than the phone. It was still an extra expense though.
She thought she might call her husband when she got back, assuming she didn't have any more surprises the time difference would mean that he should still be awake. She still thought it was kind of funny, most people imagined with a fire breathing quirk he'd be doing crime fighting or some form of welding. Instead he worked for an American branch of a major corporation. The US laws for quirk use were a lot more liberal and while he never had and never would apparently the idea of a fire breathing representative did wonders for negotiations. He had been proud of Izukus showing in the sports festival if also worried about him, the fact that his quirk had come but was so unstable had been a source of stress for both of them.
She sighed again, she must have been having a bit of empty nest anxiety. Her son hadn't moved out yet, he was just in the dormssh and admittedly that probably was a lot safer than him going from home to school though Inko loathed to admit it. She realized that she really must have been letting her mind wander in regards to her son because a few times she could have sworn she noticed one or two of his classmates while she was doing her shopping and later when she took a bus to get to a different shopping district. She knew it couldn't have been them, one of them maybe but this many especially at this hour seemed unlikely. No, far more likely they must have just looked very similar or her mind was so focused on her son that she was seeing more things that made her think of him.
Though as she was going she did start to feel a little unnerved. More than once she could swear that she was being watched or followed, she thought she saw certain shadows seem to move over her or thought she saw someone in a crowd trying to shadow her. It ended up making her abandon the rest of her shopping plans and practically run for the subway. Once she managed to get on the train she felt a little better. Though she had a fresh set of nerves when she saw police seemed to be randomly inspecting people and checking against cameras.
She wondered if maybe she had been getting followed, if there was some lunatic out there that was attacking people and maybe the police were making sure that this person wouldn't board the subway. She managed to get onto the train, she admitted that one advantage to being shorter was that she wasn't likely to get randomly stopped or noticed. She had thought about asking who or what the police were looking for though she realized that it would probably only make her more anxious if she knew. She reflected that maybe it was better that Izuku was at UA, he was actually safer than he likely would have been on the street shopping with her tonight.
Once she finally made it to her stop she took a somewhat more circuitous route home, it was less about not wanting to be at home yet and more the same feeling that someone might be watching or stalking her. She knew she would have to go out again to get the rest of her groceries later in the week though first she was going to check the news and fight out what had the police stopping people in the subway. When she opened the door she nearly dropped her bags, standing in her living room were Tenya Iida and Katsuke Bakugo both of whom were in their hero uniforms. She stared, the situation seemed unreal, she almost ran but instead put her things on the table and insistently (though more angrily in the case of Bakugo) asked them what they were doing in her home.
Iida cleared his throat, "Ms. Midorya I apologize on behalf of Bakugo and myself for this improper entry into your home. We are here because we had to check on your safety and because we need you to come with us. There is worrying news in regards to your son young Midorya,…Izuku…"
He couldn't get another word in over her tearful wail.
