The day after the attack from Endeavor, things moved pretty fast. The whole international community was in shock as they saw the pro-hero Endeavor, going completely berserk during the meeting of the president and the rest of the heroes. Images of journalist and civilians being burned alive until they were transformed into ashes, were being broadcasted on everything televisions in the world. The press was condemning The hellflame quirk's user, treating him like a villain, forgetting his previous deed in the past. They were outraged by his action, the former hero who for a time was the number one hero, burned dozens of civilians until their skin crawled out of them, eyes popping out of their skulls while you could hear their scream of pure agony. The Japanese community was flipped by the head, heroes were supposed to protect them against villains and not the other way around. If Endeavor could betray the hero cause by turning into a villain, then how could they trust the heroes, these were the thought of so many people in Japan and in the world. The fear of heroes spread like an epidemic, people didn't beleive that a hero could possibly turn into rogue agent for money. Three of them went already rogue. What is going to prevent others pro-hero to change their mind just like them.

Once the Endeavor was arrested, journalist flooded the heroes, interviewing each one of them that they could find. They even penetrated their agency by force to have their opinion on the matter and what was their thought on the future of the next generation of heroes. A lot of them showed their condolence to the families who lost their loved one in the attack while reassuring them that the public could still trust them even though they secretly knew that their words won't be enough to calm them down but they still needed to try at least or else they will have no hope on moving pass this attack. Tsunagu Hakamata, also known by most people best jeanist, organized a press conference to which he announced the plan of funding all the victims family, stating his deepest regret for not being able to stop their death in time. He hoped that his action will help to appease their heart and to show them that there are still heroes in the world that will dedicate their life for the safety of the defenseless ones.

"Did you and your agency knew anything about the attack before it happened? Did you have any suspicious over his behavior or motivation the day before" A journalist asked him, pointing his microphone toward his mouth.

He sighed desperately "No sir, my agency and I didn't have any idea that he would have caused mayhem during the meeting. During all the years that I've known him, I never thought he was able to commit these acts. I think it's safe to say that no one had expected the meeting to end this way and so early in the morning"

Best jeanist was devastated by this, there was no way that this was Endeavor that he faced off in the park. He was unusually stronger and faster since the last time they team up together. No one could be this strong in short among of time but his eyes weren't betraying him, it was really Endeavor in front of him and not an illusion created by a villain. However, he knew that something was wrong with him and he needed to figure out what. The problem was that the police department, the NPA, had restrained him from joining in the investigation, stating that it was government affair. Government affair? How can it be only the government problem if it's included the future of the hero industry; that's what he thought.

As for the government reaction over this matters, a lot of federal representatives were chanting for change in the systems while others still have their trust in the system. They thought that not because a few accidents happened that they should act harshly on it without thinking of the consequence of a change like this in the future. Luckely for the heroes, there still was a lot of people, that still supported the hero industry, which is why the legislator hasn't act yet. Even the president still had his faith in the heroes, reminding the public of the good they did for its citizens. He also planned, just like best jeanist, to give money to the family who lost their member during the attack and he will organize a national memorial for all of them.

During this fiasco, there a particular question that everyone had in their mind: Who are the EPF? and who was the man that managed to defeat Endeavor himself? As the battle was over, reporters ran toward the crime scene to see these men, carrying endeavor handcuffed inside a van which they move him in highly security prison out into the countryside. They tried to interview them with no success, they just bypassed them without speaking a word. Later, after some research, the press managed to found out who are these men. In the research they found out that they are part of the Eart Protection Force which was created three hundred years ago to defend the world against international threats. Today, they are deployed in combat in Africa and in the Middle East where war and terrorism still continue. They succeeded in reducing it greatly during these past couples of years. The EPF is an agency created by five major countries, United State, France, England, Russia and finally Japan. These five countries had the power to use it at their will on their own land. If they had to do an international mission then the presidents of each country will gather together and vote on a decision. The head of the agency is revealed to be someone by the name of Bishop, however they couldn't tell if it was his real name or alias. There wasn't any information about this man except for his name or possible name, it seems like he is a ghost with no background history of his past. Who is this guy, the majority of the public asked. Many theories were created around this man presence and his agency. When the journalists raised their question to the president, he responded by saying that his advisors and the NPA suggested using the resources and manpower from the EPF to help them in the investigation. When He was asked about who was the man who defeated Endeavor, the president told the media that it is classified. he couldn't reveal his identity because of the fear to put his personal life in danger. They tried to press on the subject but he was quick to shut them down by ignoring them, telling them that the man had the right to his privacy.

Since the president wouldn't give more information on this mysterious man, they decided to ask the heroes if they knew about him since he has a powerful quirk. Maybe he was an ancient hero who decided to join the EPF. Unfortunately, nobody knew any information about him. The only comment they said that he was really powerful.

In the afternoon, the former A-1 students gathered inside the local police department of the city, where Naomasa Tsukauchi was now working. Inside the building, the heroes were inside the meeting room, where there was a giant table with chairs for them to sit. The detective wasn't currently there with them, he had an important call to make.

At the far end of the room, there was a small television installed on the wall. Right now the TV was working and set on channel 6 which contains a report by a news media outlet on the attack which took place yesterday.

"We have confirmation on the number of lives that were lost during the attack of yesterday. According to the NPA thirty-eight people were killed with third-degree burns by Endeavor."

The A-1 student had their eyes glued on the screen, mesmerize in a bad way by the news. Almost forty people were dead and they couldn't have done anything about. Guilt filled each of their heart as they thought that they should have been stronger and faster to stop but Endeavor was unsually more powerful which was saying a lot for the hellflame user. He was even stronger than when he was in his prime with All might.

Bakugo gritted his teeth as he watches the footage of Todoroki's father being taken away by the EPF. Seeing him being arrested like this and knowing that he causes the death of so many innocents people, made him really furious about this strange situation that he and the heroes found themselves in. If he kept listening to the mini skirt slut who was talking to a politician, he will probably explode the TV with his own hand without using his quirk. He looked up at Uraraka to see her looking in the opposite direction

His eyes softened as he guessed what was bothering her, The EPF agent who defeat Endeavor. his quirk has a really close resemblance as De- No, he couldn't think like that, it was impossible but...

Before he finished his thought the Television caught back his attention with what the news reporter told next.

"Today in this age where the hero job is highly profitable, Can we trust them? Especially with these two attack that occurred in less than one week. If the great Endeavor had turned on the wrong side of justice then who couldn't be corrupt by power and money. Which one of them are real or fake. Mayne it's time for the hero to die..."

Everyone in the room shrieked except for Tokoyami and Todoroki who had deadpanned expression since they expected Bakugo to lose his self-control by throwing the remote control on the Television, shattering the screen in millions of pieces.

Balugo was breathing heavily as he continue to watch the now broken TV. He had lost his temper the moment the reporter said that 'it's time for the hero to die' His glare could literally turn someone into stone if they dare look at it. Everyone turned their attention to the blonded spike hair boy, not saying anything, not wanting to trigger his button. Kirishima and Todoroki are the only one who dares talk to him when he is in this state.

"Shhh, Bakugo, why don't you blow up the wall while you're at it."

Kirishima activated his quirk when he saw a pair of scissor coming his way. It hit his face, breaking it on the impact.

"SHUT UP, WIERD HAIR BOY BEFORE I BLOW YOUR FACE OFF"

Kirishima stood up from his chair, wanting to get a glass of water from the water distributor behind him. He always found it funny to tease Bakugo in these times like this. He poured water inside the plastic cup next to the distributor before taking his seat next to his girlfriend.

"You always like to tease him don't you" Mina whispered in his ears, causing him to shrug his shoulder nonchalantly.She took his drink when he drank half of it. He whined while trying to get it back but he got his hand slapped away by her. She gave him a cheeky smile before finishing his drink. He turned his head away, faking his anger over her.

"I can't fucking believe it" The voice of Bakugo was again filled their ears. He didn't yell like last time but you could still tell that he's really angry.

"I know that fucking Endeavor is a piece of trash" He looked back at Todoroki, knowing the history between him and his father "But there is no way in hell that he could have done it. He's a hero after all"

Todoroki didn't say anything at his comment. He looks back at his wife when he felt her hand on his. She had a small sad smile on her face while caressing his hand to comfort him, knowing that it must be difficult for him to see his father like this even if they had a hard history between them. Todoroki was grateful for her concern, giving her a small smile as he let her gently touch him. He already felt better because of her. It's true that he and his father had a difficult relationship during his younger years. For a long time, he mentally abused him, forcing him to push himself at his limit when he was five years old, just so he could be number one hero. Because of him, he never had a normal childhood like every other child he saw in the park, he had always envied them for their life that they live. Having two great parents who love you no matters what and having a normal youth, was all the things he wanted but he couldn't have any of them because of his father. But the worst part is the treatment of his mother. He caused her so much harm that she had to be sent to a mental hospital for her health, prying himof his mother. He hated him because of this and he will never forgive him for what he did to her but he is still his father. He wasn't immune from feelings when he had to fight him or when he saw getting arrested by the EPF. A part of him couldn't deny that he was saddened by this but he would never show it to his friend, only his wife could figure out his real feelings, that's one of the many things he loves about her.

"Plus, since when the fuck is he this strong. He wasn't like that even during his prime." Bakugo told him, glaring at him for answers.

He had no idea how his father managed to get this powerful. A few months ago, he and his father were working on a case together. They both face off against a villain who could control the ground below him. It was really tough to defeat him and he never saw his old man using this kind of power against the villain especially since he was on the verge of dying if he didn't create an ice shield around him.

"I don't really know. He never displayed it in the past."

Bakugo didn't look satisfied by his answer but before he could continue his question, Jirou took over.

"Maybe he was drugged or maybe he was hiding his true potential for this day" She said.

Momo didn't like the insinuation from Jirou, one bit. There is no way that Endeavor held back his strength all these years so he could attack innocents people in daylight, not just attack but to burn them alive. It was impossible, he was a well-respected, powerful hero even with his shady past with his family.

"Why do you assume that he did it in his own free will, maybe he was drug" She suggested to her, protecting the innocence of her husband's father.

"I don't think so, if the Kamui wooda and Deatg Arms weren't drug then why should he be drug" she countered.

"We don't know if this attack was connected to the last one. Maybe he was drugged and not the other two" Momo was starting to heat up from this back and forwd diccusion.

"Please, two attack in less than a week. Don't you think it's only a coincidence"

The rest of the heroes joined in on the conversation, telling thwir thoughts and opinion on the matters.l, theorizing about the possible link amd goal on these two attack. Their thought was that they did it to break the trust the saviora and the saved.

"Then how come the NPA hasn't found any trace of drug in their blood. Also the agency didn't found any anormaly in their brain" Denki said.

" Maybe they made a mistake when they anylized the blood sample. They scan the wrong blood by accident" Mina said.

"Twice?" jirou was skeptical by her theory.

As everyone continue to theorize, Tsuyu that her friend, Ochako, hasn't day anything this all time. She was looking out the windown as her mind was somewhereelse. As Uraraka stares out into the windown, one thought kept coming back inside her head. She couldn't let go of what happened yesterday. The image of the strange agent who deafeated Endeavor filled her head. The way he fight, the way he jump, roll, dodge, all these things reminded her of Izuku. He was the only one whose knew that could move like him but it was impossible, it couldn't be, he was dead two years ago. However her mind wouldn't drop the theory that he was dead especially she saw it, during the fight she saw green electricty coming out of his body as he move around. She remember her time in UA, Izuku would always let out green electricity, coming out of his skin as he powered up. It was one of the symptoms of one for all in his body. Even as a pro-hero, you could still see it. The worst though is that she thought that she heard the strange man say Texas sma... she slightly shook her head from this thought. She must have been imagined, he couldn't have said it. Izuku was dead and... he wouldn't come back. Her eyes were threatening to spill, her hands were slightly shaking. She wanted to believe that her love was alive, they could once again go out on a date, watch a movie together and in the night they could have some fun in the bed, she desperately wanted this to happen but she didn't want to give herself any false hope, afraid that her heart would be crushed if she finds out that he wasn't who he thought he was.

She remembers the first time he asked her to be his girlfriend, it was one of her happiest memories. It was in the afternoon and they were walking at the park, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them, birds singing, squirrels climbing on top of tree, the fresh cool air of spring grazing their face. It was supposed to be a nice walk between bestfriends but little did she knew, Izuku had another motivation than just walking. He noticed that he was more tense than usual, she asked him if he was alright to which he told her that he was fine. According to him, ot was the cold that was making his body shiver like that. Shrugging him off, she accepted his explanation. When they were about to go their separate way, Izuku grabbed her hand before she turned around at the opposite direction, she looked right into his eyes as she felt her head heating up from the way his strong hand felt on hers. They were so close together, she wanted to run away fr embarrassment but she couldn't denied herself that she wanted to feel more of his body. He literally had greek god body.

"What is it" she asked as she unconsciously took a step closer, making red like a tomato. She feeling more of his abs. She cursed herself for doing it but even though she couldn't stop herself, she needed to feel more of his body.

Deku took a deep breath, figuring out the right words to say. "Thank you"

She was puzzled by his words, deciding to let him finish his explanation.

"For two years we know each other, you were my very first friend since middle school, you were always there for me when I needed help for someone to put me back on right tracks, you never thought that I was weak and defenseless, you were the one who changes the meaning of the name Deku from useless to ' Yes I can be a hero'."

She felt her has watered up as he told her how much of an impact she had on him

She didn't know how she deserved a friend like him, her heart was beating fast as something new was stirring up inside her chest but she didn't know what it was.

Izuku scratched his head as he realized that he was rambling like an idiot. " What I really want to say is that I'm really grateful for your friendship but I don't want it anymore."

Tears were falling down her face as she thought that he wanted to end up their friendship. "why" that was her only thought, she didn't want to lose her bestfriend.

Not letting her respond, he continued. "I'm not satisfied on only being a friend. I want us to be more than friends"

Her eyes widened at his world. "You don't mean..." Her heart pounding hard in her chest and her breath was cut short from realization to his words.

"What I'm trying to say is that I really care about you and that I love...you." He said that last part in a whisper, afraid of her reaction. "will you be my girlfriend" His eyes were closed as he waited for an answer, hoping that it will be 'yes'.

For a long time Uraraka knew that she had feelings for the green-haired boy. She hid them away for a long time because she needed to focus on being a hero so she could support her parents. Plus it would be selfish of her for making his goal more difficult to achieve if he was in a romantic relationship with her. You would need to balance those two things at the same. That were the reasons she told herself for not pursuing him, in reality, she didn't act on her feeling because she was afraid that he didn't feel the same way as her while ruining their friendship at the same time if he said no. So the moment she heard him said that he loves her, she couldn't contain her emotions anymore, they were spilling out of her heart like a waterfall.

Izuku was afraid when he didn't get an answer for a long time. Maybe he had scew up, he should have never said it, now he ruined their friendship. He turned around, wanting to run away from this place as he felt his own tears falling down his face. Fortunately for him, Uraraka stop him by wrapping her arms around his neck.

He looked down from the shock, seeing tears on her face. Before he could ask if the feeling alright, her lips attacked his, tongues caressing each other as moans came out of both of their mouth. He couldn't believe what was happening, the girl that he fell in love was, right now, kissing him as if she was afraid that he will disappear. Both of their faces completely red as they sucking on it. Eventually, they pulled away, looking at each other eyes, panting for air. It was their very first kiss and one of the most memorable.

"I...love you too... and I would love to be... your girlfriend." She said between breath.

She will always treasure this memory in the back of her mind. Brought back to reality, she made the decision that figures out who is the strange man who saves them, no matters. She needed to know if he was really her Deku. They are both really similar in their fighting style and in their quirk. She had a strong feeling it was him or at least that he knew her now dead-boyfriend. She needed an answer and she will get even if she has to break the law to find his identity. You could see pure determination in her eyes as grabbed on the hope that her prince charming was alive and that he will come back to her. Feeling better by her decision, she let herself have a small smile on her face.

"Uraraka" Mina asked

She was snapped back to into reality. She felt the gaze of their friends on her. concerns filled their eyes.

" Are you Ok?" she asked.

She gave them a small nod, reassuring them that she was fine but no one was buying her act. They figure out what was bothering her, they also got bothered by this but they preferred not to think about it, wishing that it could be true and not true at the same.

"Is it about the EPF agent who defeated Endeavor" Tsuyu asked.

When he was brought up by froppy, everything fell into silence. No one wanted to think about that guy, not hoping to have false hope on their suspension. Todoroki, lida, Bakugo and Uraraka weren't the only though who noticed the similarity between the agent and Deku. For three years they work at the same school, for three years they saw each other fight, they knew all of their fighting style, strong point and weakness. Even they didn't know about one for all, it clear in their mind that his quirk and fighting style closing resemble Deku style. After the fight between Endeavor, they were all stuck in their thought, trying to make sense of the situation. " Did Deku had a son or an unknown brother. Maybe it was his father, he never mentioned him before. Maybe he's alive". That last question crawling out of their mind, they wanted to believe that he was alive but they couldn't find any concrete explanation onto how he managed to survive the explosion.

"You all noticed that he fight almost like Deku, right?" Everybody, even Todorki, nodded at Kirishima question.

"Do you think that he is ali-" Denki didn't have time to finish before Bakugo interrupted him by slamming his fist on the table, creating a small explosion which left a burn mark on it.

"DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE, YOU HEARD ME?"

Bakugo anger meter went through the roof. He wouldn't dare let him say what he wanted to say even though he had the same lines of thought as him but it was impossible.

"How do you kno-" Once again he got interrupted by the blond spike boy.

"DON'T YOU THINK THAT I DON'T WANT IT TO BE TRUE. A SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR, TRYING TO FIND THE BASTARD. I DIDN'T FOUND A SINGLE CLUE ON HIS WHEREABOUTS. I ASKED ALL THE FUCKING POLICE DEPARTMENT AND NONE OF THEM MANAGED TO FIND HIM OR HIS BODY"

Uraraka couldn't stand it anymore, she didn't like the fact that he was screaming at one of his friends. She stood up and grabbed his should, making him look at her. She gave him that look that he should calm down. With a few deep breath Bakugo relax a bit, enough so that he wouldn't yell anymore. He looked back at Kirishima spoke again, this time he said in a much softer tone.

"Look what I'm trying to say is that Izuku is dead. His body was unfortunately burned to the ashes when the explosion happened. If there is a hint that he was alive then I will follow it to the end." he told them.

"Then find out who is the mysterious EPF agent who defeated Endeavor"

Bakugo stared a Uraraka with a confused look on his face "what is she talking about" he thought.

She took a step closer to him, staring right back into his eyes. Bakugo got actually nervous when he saw the red flames of determination in her eyes, staring at his soul. He gulps but didn't say anything.

"You said that if there was a hint that he was alive, you will pursue it. Then I want you to find out who is this guy. We all saw it right, he moves and fights just like Deku, plus both their quirk have a similarity in them, heck I can even say that they are the same. I don't care if you don't believe it is him, I will find out who is he with or without your guy's help."

With a much calmer voice she said " I need to find out" she clenched her heart.

Bakugo stood there, he didn't know what to say. It was rare seeing her this furious and determined and frankly it was sometimes scary to see her like this. Her friend Mina stood up from her chair and walked behind her friend, wrapping her into a hug.

"Don't worry Ochako, we will help you find the identity of this guy." she told her. Everyone agreed with her, even Bakugo who secretly hope that he was wrong about Deku being dead. If he was alive then he will make sure to beat him up to death before asking questions.

"Thank you guy" She sniffed, getting emotional by her friends supporting her for searching if a miracle could happen.

"If it's really him then I need to ask him why he abounded all of us especially me" The thought of her Deku leaving her, threatened tears to fall down. She didn't want to face this possible outcome.

"It's ridiculous" Mina told her, trying to comfort her before she started to cry. "You know that he would have never abounded you."

"She's right. He loves you too much to intentionally hurt you. If it's truly him then I'm sure he has the most understandable reason on to why he never contacted us for the last two years. Maybe the EPF stopped him from communicating with us." Kirishima said.

"But still, it doesn't explain how the hell he managed to disappear alive after the explosion and met with the EPF agency." Jirou explains to her friends.

"I intend to find out" Bakugo cracked his knuckles, ready to beat the shit out of the nerd for answers. How could he have left his friends for two years without contacting them. Did he knew that his absence had hurt Uraraka. He's gonna pay for that. "Is it why you force me to make that second promise, so that you could join the EPF but why." If it was true, there will be nothing to stop him from finishing the villain job to kill him, only if it was really him behind the strange armor and mask.

"How do you we figure out who he is without raising suspicion from the EPF" Tsuyu asked.

Momo thought about it. To know if the strange armored agent was Deku, they needed either 1 to remove his mask or two to take a sample of his blood and analyzed. The DNA test could tell us if they are the same person. When she explained her plan to the others, Jirou was skeptical about the success of removing his mask or retrieve a blood sample.

" Something tells him that he isn't willing to show his identity and I'm pretty sure that his armor his made to stop bullets which means good luck to insert a syringe under his skin" she said

"You're right but we don't technically need his blood, only his DNA which can be located everywhere on his body like the skin, hair, saliva..."

They continue for the next ten minutes planning on how a getting a DNA sample from the armored agent. The hardest part was to reach him without raising an eyebrow, they all knew that what they were planning was shady according to the law and that they could get in trouble but the mystery of the strange man was too grant for them to leave his identity unknown, especially if it was really Deku under that mask. They needed to know if their friend was still alive. After a few minutes, Tokoyami proposed to go back to the park, searching for any signs on blood on the ground, maybe the strange man had injured himself during the fight which was possible because Endeavor used spears flame and threw them at him. There is a chance that one of them managed to penetrate his armor, grazing his skin at the same time but they couldn't tell since they both moved so fast. They will have to use UV light to see any signs of blood then analyze it. Even though this plan had a few flaws for examples, they couldn't guarantee that they will find an undamaged sample or prevent the blood from being burned by Endeavor. Even with all these complications, it was there best plan without breaking any law and since the public was slowly losing trust in them, they couldn't risk the chance of getting accused of a crime. As for Izuku's blood Hatsume, already had a sample. Back when they were both still student in UA, Hatsume was working on a cure and she needed a clean sample of a healthy person for her test. Izuku was available at the time so she took his blood and analyzed his genetic coding, restoring it in her computer which kept all these years. She always kept her researches with herself even if she didn't need them anymore. They were more like a relic to her now.

They all stopped their chat when the door suddenly opened, revealing Naomasa Tsukauchi behind it. He scanned the room, his eyes fell on the burn mark on the round table. He immediately knew who had done it. He stared at him with 'really' look on his face.

"Did you really had to damage it. You know that's government property right?"

Bakugo snorted while shrugging his shoulder, he didn't care about the stupid table at all. Not wanting to argue with him since it was pointless, he let it go for now.

"Any news on the investigation?" Todoroki asked sensing that he didn't manage to get any pieces of information.

He sighed "No I'm afraid not. The NPA still don't allow any heroes or us in this case. Since the recent attack, they don't trust the hero especially since the case is about finding out who are the rogue's heroes."

Everyone was disappointed by this. They were all eager to figure the bottom of this hole no matter how deep it was.

"However I still have friends in the agency who are keeping tags on the investigation. They will communicate with me any information they found on the case. I will contact you if they found any major clue."

The heroes in the room felt lucky that Naomasa Tsukauchi still had some connection with the agency. It's not much but it will be enough for now.

"According to my friends, the NPA suspected that they are more heroes who got paid to cause more trouble for the industry. They are still trying to figure out who is their employer."

"It doesn't make sense at all." Uraraka jumped into the conversation. "These heroes are already rich, why would they need any more money, it doesn't add up.

"She right" lida continued. "Why would they have done it for money."

"It feels like a conspiracy with each passing minutes." Bakugo felt the gaze of his former classmates on him. Looking at him with a curious face as if they were trying to figure out the meaning of his words.

Denki let a little laugh. "Come on Bakugo, don't tell me that you believe these theories about the government controlling the heroes to cause mayhem across the country." He found it completely dumb and hilarious.

"Well at least it's more convincing than Endeavor who spend almost his entire life, trying to become the number one hero, would suddenly decide to forget everything and accept a few bucks to kill people, just like that. Are you really that naive."

Nobody said a thing. They couldn't really argue with his logic. It did make more sense that someone must have drugged or brainwashed them, either by the government or by someone else, than Endeavor getting pay to kill. If they didn't get pay then why would the NPA lie about it.

Denki spoke "If we say for the sake of the argument that Endeavor, Kamui woods and Death were drugged, brainwashed and used by the government, why would they have done it. What's their motivation."

The detective thought about the question. Maybe their employer was the one who controlled them but if that was the case then why didn't the NPA noticed anything strange in their blood or their brain activity. You can't make the same mistake twice in a test.

"I don't know. Most of the politicians in the parliament supports the hero industry. They have no reason what so ever for breaking it. " he told them.

"There is one way to find out if the NPA lie or was mistaken in this affair" Momo thought as she pulls out a vial from her pocket, showing it to her friends. They look at her with questions marks in their eyes. It seems like the vial contained blood but they weren't so sure.

"What is it." the detective asked curiousl about who's blood it is and how she managed to get it.

With a smirk on her face she announced that it was the blood of Endeavor. The room was shock by this revelation. Todoroki had this face which told her that he needed an explanation about where she got the blood sample from his dad. She told them that she extracted it during the att. With her quirk she created a syringe and used it to take the sample. Of course it wasn't as easy as she said. She had, first, to get close to him then she needed to find a way to plant it without burning herself. Plus the fact that he was moving around didn't make things easier. In the end an opportunity took place for her, when her husband froze his father, leaving him with one arm unfrozen, she ran toward him and planted the syringe in his upper arm, extracting the blood from it. Now that they have it, they could have it analyze for any abnormality. She will give it to Mei for this job.

"Wait a minute" Mina spoke up. " Isn't it illegal to do this. The NPA state that heroes aren't supposed to meddle in their affair." She worried that they could get pursuit by the law. Luckily Naomasa Tsukauchi was there to reassure her.

"Technically it isn't illegal since we aren't blocking their investigation. Plus you have the right to make your own investigation, however I suggested you all not to show them your evidence because they still can take it from you. Is that clear?"

They all nodded their head, content that they could make their own investigation without breaking the law. Furthermore, they asked him if they can return to the scene of crime where they fought Endeavor. Puzzled by the question he asked them why. They just told him that if they wanted to start their own investigation then they needed to gather as much clue as possible. Not seeing the problem with their plan he told them that they could but hep warned them that there is great chance that they won't found anything because the EPF and the NPA have already scanned every corner of the park. Little did he knew that the real motivation the former A-1 class wasn't to find any information on the attack, but in fact they will search the place to any blood sample on the ground to identify if the mysterious was actually their long gone friend Izuku Midoriya. With Naomasa Tsukauchi approval, the group decided that lida and Mina will search in the park.

As everyone stood up from their seat, thinking the meeting is over, Tsukauchi raised his hand in the air, signaling that he still has something to say. He reaches deep inside his coat pocket and pulls out a small device, not bigger than a quarter of an inch, from it. He threw it at Momo, catching her off guard but she caught it nonetheless.

"What is it" Momo asked the detective while examining the small device in her hand.

"This is a shock device. During the attack, Eraserhead tried to reach Endeavor so he could erase his quirk but he was unable to because someone had planted this on his shoulder, sending electricity through his body. The shock completely paralyzed him until he went unconscious."

Uraraka had her eyes widened as she thought about who moght have done it. Worry for her former teacher took over her body. It's true that Aizawa could be harsh on his student but she learned that beneath his grim expression he really care for them. Knowing that someone had paralyzed him makes her wonder if he also was a target. The person who did it, didn't want him to erase his quirk which would have stopped Endeavor from killing innocents people.

"Do you know who is responsible for this" She asked knowing that her friend also wanted to know who was this mysterious guy who incapacitated Eraserhead. The look on Naomasa Tsukauchi told them that the answer will leave them with disappointment.

"Unfortunately, he didn't see who he was because of the commotion. The only description we have on this individual is that he is a tall man wearing a hood over his head."

Bakugo snorted at the description. "What kind of description is this. He could be literally anyone in Japan."

Naomasa ignored the comment from Bakugo. He apologized for the lack of description, he and his department will be looking for any evidence that might help them identifies the culprit. lida proposed that maybe he and Mina could find a clue, in the park of his identity. They all agreed to his plan. And finally before they left, he asked Momo if she could give the device to Hatsume so she could rip apart without damaging it. Maybe she could find a way to know where it was built depending of the materials that were used to create it.

"Of course, I will make sure to give it" Momo said. Now she had two jobs, with the help of Mei, she had to analyze Endeavor blood for any trace of drugs or anything that might suggest that he wasn't fully in his right mind. Then Mei had to see if she could tell who and where the shock device was manufactured. While she will be completing these two tasks, lida and Mina will be looking for any clues that could identify the mysterious man who attacked Eraserhead and any DNA sample of the one who arrested Endeavor to see if it's a match with Izuku DNA.

As everyone started to leave, Uraraka heard ring sound coming from her pocket. She reached inside of it to pull out her cellphone, seeing a text message from All might. It red "Come see me in Naomasa Tsukauchi's office" he texted her. She looked around her to see lida, Bakugo, and Todoroki with their phones in their hand.

"All might may have also texted them?" she thought in her head. Why did he want to meet with us? While everyone left the building her suspicion was proved right as she saw her three friends staying behind. They look at each other, realizing that All might had sent the same message at all of them.

"Come with me." the voice of Tsukauchi echoed through the hallway. They look back at him, seeing him wave his hand at them.

Uraraka wondered why All might wanted to see them, probably because of the agent who defeated the hell-flames quirk user. Toshinori was there when he fell down from the sly. He must have witnessed the way his quirk looks exactly as One for all. If anyone could provide her an answer on the issues, she knows that he is the man for the job.

They enter the detective office, seeing All might who was pouring himself a cup of tea. He looked at us with a small smile on his face, betraying his true feeling. His eyes told another story, they were dead filled with sadness. Seeing the strange agent must have remind him of his successor and how he failed him even if it wasn't his fault. His death killed a part of the old man's spirit. He's probably holding the hope that Deku is truly alive after seeing what happened yesterday. He was like a son to him.

lida gave a bows to the former one hero. He couldn't stop himself from feeling, each time, honored to see him. Toshinori always told him that it isn't necessary for him to bow before him.

"How are you All might" Uraraka asked him.

"I'm fine young Uraraka. I'm just shocked that's all."

"Is it because of him"

All might knew who young Bakugo was referring to, the EPF agent who stop any more bloodshed from happening. Seeing the man with an identical quirk as One For All send shivers down his spine. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was as if his successor stood there in front of him even though he died two years ago. But it was even more impossible that someone could have replicated or stolen One For All. You can only force it to someone, not the other way around. After a few seconds he confirmed Bakugo statement with a nod.

"I'm afraid yes. You all saw it right. This agent had One for All"

"Are you sure All might" Todoroki asked. He wanted to be true but could it be. Deku was dead, how did he survive if it was really him behind the mask.

"I know so. Green electricity coming out of his body. The release of pure energy in his fist when he punched into thin air. You all saw it. Without a doubt what we witnessed his the power of One for all."

"Do you think that someone stole it or replicate it." lida asked.

"Impossible" All might said. " You can't steal or replicate One for All."

"But you can force right?" All eyes fell on Bakugo after he said it. He furrowed his eyes at the former number one hero, wanting to know if his statement is true to which he confirmed his statement. The tension rose when they felt that Bakugo angrier by the seconds for no reason. Uraraka didn't know what her friend was thinking about.

"Did Deku had a successor before he die"

The question shock Ochako, thinking of the possibility that Izuku transferred One for All inside another host. It would make sense but if he did, why didn't he tell her. They weren't supposed to keep secret from each other.

All might remove his gaze away from the blond-haired boy, stuck in deep thoughts. His statement could be true, he could have given someone One for All before he died but why didn't he spoke about it with him. It wasn't like him, if he had found a successor then he would have told him. He looked back at Bakugo, shrugging his shoulder.

"I don't think so. If he had, he never told me."

Bakugo cursed under his breath angry that the bastard didn't tell them that he found a successor. It was the most logical course than the fact that he survived the explosion and slipped away for two years, abandoning his friend, family and especially abandoning his girlfriend. He clenched his fist at the last thought, angry that he hurt Ochako.

Todoroki didn't find the logic in this and voiced his opinion. "I don't think he had a successor. It wouldn't make sense that he would search for a successor especially during his prime. His hero career had just begun, it doesn't make any logic."

"Except if he knew that he would die and force it on someone without him knowing" Bakugo said, believing more that the bastard had a successor than him being alive. However Uraraka didn't completely share his view, she still has hope that he beloved was still alive.

"Or maybe he is..."

Balugo cut her off, telling her the improbability that he was still alive to which she got a bit angry against him.

"I don't care what you believe in. I still have hope that he is alive" Bakugo tried again to interrupt her but she waves her hand in front of him, telling to shut up and let her speak.

"I know what you're thinking but let me tell you this, We never find the cause of the explosion two years ago. It happened the moment Deku punched him to save me and the civilians. We have no idea what goes it. You gave a few punches to the villains and he didn't explode."

"Stop beating around the bush and tell us what you think happened." Bakugo yells at her but she wasn't fazed by him, she even took a step closer to him, looking right into his eyes.

"Maybe they didn't explode into ashes. What if with some luck they got teleported somewhere."

"It wouldn't make sense, his quirk wasn't teleportation."

They both continued to argue furiously, none of them ready to back down until All might split them up. Both of them were panting, exhausted from the yelling they did. Todoroki stood there, shaking his head from the dispute he witnessed. It wouldn't at all in these matters. In his opinion he didn't believe the possibility of a ressurect Izuku but just like Ochako he had hope that's why with the rest of the former A-1, he will find out who is the mysterious agent. Apparently he and Uraraka weren't the only one with the same thought.

"Even if I don't believe that it is really him behind the armor, I pray of being wrong this time. I really wish that he is alive. When I will be in the park, I will make sure to scan every corner to find any sign of blood that we could use to find his identity no matter what.'

lida heard brought both All might and Uraraka a smile on their face. They were both grateful for his support.

"What about you Bakugo" The half cold haft hot quirk user asks him.

He gritted his teeth while glaring at him. Just like before he will keep his promise made to Ochako by finding out who is he even if he wasn't completely convinced. Secretly he has hope just like them but he didn't voice it to them or himself as he tried to convince himself of another possibility than this.

"Thank you. You don't know how much it means to me. If I was younger, I would have searched for myself"

"Don't worry All might, with time we will figure out the truth" Uraraka wraps her arms around the frail retired hero, both comforting each other as they kept the fame of hope in their heart."

Bakugo stared the scene in front of him with one single thought in his mind.

"I hope that you all are right about the situation"
