Chapter Six: Friends, Questions, 'Scouting'

~Summary~ Izumi spends time with her son, gets some new clothes, answers some more questions, and spends time with a new friend. Meanwhile, All Might tries to do some scouting.

~A/N~ So after thinking some things over. I changed what I was planning for this chapter and some things in future chapters. Either way, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Start!

~Midoriya Apartment~

Izumi yawned and stretched. Her wings and tail nearly knocked things over. 'Right forgot,' She chuckled to herself. After checking on Daiki Izumi returned to her human form, dressed, and headed to the kitchen.

"Hmm, do I spoil him?" Izumi pondered out loud while staring into the fridge. With a shake of her head she grabbed the eggs. "of course I spoil him. I always do,"

Izumi wasn't sure why Daiki preferred American breakfasts. But the smile he gave whenever she made one was too precious. So eggs, sausage, toast, and orange juice it was.

She nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt her phone buzz. She rarely got messages. After she started the sausage she checked.

[HEY! I totally forgot to text you after you gave me your number. I'm so sorry!] Unknown Contact

[Oh! It's Uraraka Ochaco. From the entrance exam] Izumi smiled and saved the number before shooting back a reply.

[And here I thought you forgot about little old me] Izumi smiled. She was a little worried Uraraka had forgotten her.

[No way! I just got sidetracked I finally talked my parents into letting me help out at the construction yard for extra Quirk training] SpaceMochi. Izumi chuckled already liking the name she gave Uraraka.She put her phone down hearing a noise in the other room. Daiki was finally awake.

"Morning Momma," Daiki's voice called out.

"Morning baby. Go get cleaned up. Breakfast will be ready when you're done," Izumi called back.

"Yes momma," Daiki's shout was followed by loud thudding as he ran up the stairs.

~Somewhere in America~

All For One took a slow breath as he stared down a cavern entrance. It had been quite a few years since he'd talked with them. He would have to tread carefully. None of them were a challenge to him but he would hate to lose a valuable piece on his board. After adjusting his suit jacket he entered.

"What do you want?" A grumpy voice spoke. Standing in his way was a well-dressed man in a black and deep red three-piece suit. Shoulder-length black hair slicked back and a clean-cut goatee.

"Ah, Viktor. Look how you've grown," All For One smiled.

"What do you want?" Viktor asked again his eyes narrowing.

"I've come to speak with them," All For One's smile didn't fade.

"Father is eating. You can speak to Mother and Uncle," Viktor said pointing down the left path.

"That will do, Good day Viktor," All For One gave a slight bow and followed the path.

~With Izumi~

Daiki ran circles around Izumi and Midnight as they walked through U.A.'s halls. Izumi had been asked to come in and see their support department and then have another meeting with Nezu. "Daiki calm down," Izumi smiled watching her son.

"Full of energy isn't he?" Midnight asked a smile on her face as well.

"What can you say. He's a young boy. They've got nothing but energy," Izumi replied right before her arm shot out and caught Daiki.

"Ah!" Daiki cried out as Izumi lifted him and held him close.

"Gotcha," Izumi said before peppering Daiki with kisses.

"Momma," Daiki laughed loudly. "Stop,"

"But what if I don't want to?" Izumi asked giving her son a fake pout.

"Momma's cheating," Daiki said seeing her pout. Izumi just laughed in response.

"And as long as it works. I will," Izumi replied giving Daiki one more kiss before putting him back down. Daiki smiled up at her and took her hand. He seemed contented to walk beside her now.

"You two are so adorable," Midnight squealed.

"It's all him," Izumi corrected with a smile.

"I don't know about that," Midnight chuckled getting a blush from Izumi.

"So... Why am I here exactly? Did I make it in?" Izumi asked trying to change the subject.

"I can't talk about exam results. This, however, is Nezu's idea. A little thank you for that Sludge Villian Incident," Midnight replied.

"Oh, that's not necessary," Izumi said a smile coming to her face.

"I thought I heard you," The three all looked to an open door.

"Ah, Power Loader. Midoriya-san is here for her appointment," Midnight said.

"Yup We're all ready for you. Come in," Power Loader said pushing the door open to let the mother and son in.

"What do you need of me?" Izumi asked as they entered.

"Some hair and scales for your hero suit," Power Loader answered as he lead them to a corner of the room where two women were waiting.

"Well this will sting," Izumi said.

"I know Tatsuma-san hated having her scales plucked. Said it stings like no other," Power Loader said.

"It does. It's like ripping off a hangnail and taking just a little too much," Izumi explained as she sat down. "How much hair do you need?"

"You'll probably lose about four inches of hair," One of the women replied.

"Oh going to a princess cut then. Not sure how that will look with my curly hair," Izumi replied. "Let's get this over with,"

~America: Deathwing's Domain~

All For One stood unblinking as Deathwing roared in his face. The great dragon had once again tried to intimidate him. It never worked. After all, why be scared of the smaller dragon. {1}

"Are you done, my love?" All For One turned to see Sinestra and Sartharion sitting at a table drinking tea. The woman was the same as always. The picture of serenity. Nothing ever seemed to bother her.

"Ah, Sinestra radiant as ever," All For One smiled walking over to her.

"Always flirting," Sinestra chuckled. "Now what brings you all the way here?"

"I saw something in Japan and it reminded me how long it's been since I saw you," All For One replied taking a seat at the table.

"What could you have possibly seen?" Sartharion asked.

"Why a young black dragon of course," All For One smirked.

"WHAT!" Deathwing roared. "You found her?" All For One's smirk widened into a full smile.

"Her and her son," All For One added.

"So she kept the half-breed," Sinestra said.

"Looks like we need to go to Japan," Sartharion said.

"It's not that simple and you know it," Deathwing growled taking his seat at the table. All For One took a quick moment to look Deathwing over. The man rarely returned to his human form. Mostly because he hated it. The man had aged well. Only a light touch of grey in his hair. His ever-present strong jaw. And like the others clad in a fine suit.

"What if I told you it could be that simple," All For One returned.

"I'd say we're listening," Sinestra replied a devilish smirk coming to her face.

~U.A. Nezu's Office~

Izumi was slightly confused when she was led into Nezu's office. She wasn't expecting to see the detective again.

"Sorry to have to call you in again. But after the first meeting, we noticed we had forgotten a few questions," Nezu explained as Izumi took the open seat.

"I understand. I'll answer to the best of my ability," Izumi replies.

"If you would like," Danjuro spoke. "I could watch over your son and take him for some lunch while you answer,"

"Can I momma?" Daiki asked.

"Sure but no sweets," Izumi said.

"I assure you only proper nutrition ma'am," Danjuro said with a bow. Once the two had left Nezu gave Izumi some tea and the interview started... again.

"Firstly do you know your parents' real names?" Nezu asked.

"No, I only ever caught nicknames once. Otherwise, they always called each other by their villain names," Izumi replied.

"Nicknames?" Tsukauchi asked.

"Ko-chan and Shi-kun. It makes me believe they are both born in Japan," Izumi explained.

"Hmm, interesting we've always assumed they were American born," Nezu took a slow sip of his tea.

"Second do you know of any Black Dragons that are currently unknown," Tsukauchi asked.

"A few. There is Jirakka he's a cousin around my age, Nalice who is my Aunt, Rask an Uncle father's side. Razormaw and Razorgore the twins, and lastly Kyrak who is Maloriak's younger brother," Izumi explained.

"That many?" Tsukauchi said in shock.

"Nalice and Rask aren't fighters. The opposite in truth. Nalice is a brood mother and Rask is a scientist. Nalice is the mother of the Razor twins and most of the younger Black Dragons," Izumi added.

"Who's the father? Rask?" Nezu asked.

"No Sartharion. It's why most Black Dragons are family. Kyrak, Maloriak, and Rask are the only Black Dragons not yet related to us. If not for Calen I would've been married to Maloriak to bring his family line into the family," Izumi replied.

"What sort of science does Rask do?" Nezu asked.

"Twisted kinds. Until they decided to try mixing the flights with me. Rask was the one trying to create a new flight. A subservient flight of mindless monsters. His dream was to create the Netherwing Dragon Flight," Izumi answered.

"Netherwing Dragons?" Tsukauchi asked.

"I have no idea I think it was something with making them harder to hit?" Izumi guessed.

"The other ones. Jirakka and the Razortwins. Why are they still underground?" Nezu asked.

"Jirakka will probably be making his debut soon. As for the Razor Twins, they aren't all that strong so they are forced to watch over Nalice and help Kyrak," Izumi replied.

"Outside of Deathwing and Sinestra who would you say is the most dangerous?" Tsukauchi asked.

"Oh, that's easy. Nefarian my older brother. He's more dangerous than Deathwing," Izumi answered.

"More dangerous?" Nezu asked not expecting that.

"A few more years he'll be strong enough to beat Deathwing and he's a match for Kyrak and Maloraik in the brains department. His only weakness is he's cocky but knowing Sinestra she'll have that fixed before he takes over," Izumi explained.

"Do you know if any other dragons were kidnapped by them?" Tsukauchi asked.

"If there is a missing person report for a person with a dragon quirk it was them. Well, save for Alysra the Green. She turned traitor," Izumi said.

"Alysra is a traitor? She's been missing for nine years," Tsukauchi says.

"She's found us. Said she hated her flight for being so 'weak' and wanted to be with the strongest flight. Deathwing allowed her to join but only after she gave herself to a member of the flight willingly. And she happily gave herself to my brother," Izumi explained.

"We'll have to let Ysera know about this," Nezu said.

"One last question. Their lair," Tsukauchi started.

"Lairs," Izumi corrected. "They have several all over North America. The ones I know of. There are three in Mexico, Seven in the U.S., and four in Canada. And those are just the ones I was moved to. I'm pretty sure they have dozens more," She finished.

"Could you point those ones out on a map?" Nezu asked. Izumi just nodded in response. "Good. We'll get those from you and you'll be free to go,"

"Of course. I hope any of that information helps," Izumi said as Tsukauchi produced a map of North America for Izumi to mark.

~A Few Days Later: Midoriya Apartment:~

Izumi was getting sick of waiting for U.A. to mail out the exam results. She had been texting with Uraraka for a few days and both of them were sick of the wait. Izumi was sure she got in where Ochaco was worried she didn't.

[Wanna hang out?] SpaceMochi.

[Sure, you wanna come to my place. You can officially meet Daiki] OnyxDrake

[I'll bring over my favorite movie and we can just vibe out] SpaceMochi

[Sounds like a date] OnyxDrake

[You tease me too much] SpaceMochi

[Who said I was teasting] OnxyDrake

[I'll see you in a few] SpaceMochi

Izumi smiled putting her phone back as she returned her attention to Daiki's homework. He was nearly done.

"Who was that Momma?" Daiki asked.

"A new friend I met at U.A." Izumi replied.

"Purple hair guy?" Daiki asked getting Izumi to flush red.

"No... Not that kind of friend," Izumi laughed. 'Unless...' she added in her head.

~Jaku~

All Might was positive this was a bad idea. He should've listened to Mirai and waited longer. But he had to at least find out where they were hiding her. So he tried his best to move undercover and went to Jaku. He had barely reached the city when the vestiges started telling him where to go.

That lead All Might to where he was now. Sitting on a bench looking at Jaku General Hospital. She was inside the hospital or more accurately underneath it.

'Something is wrong,' Yoichi's voice spoke. Now All Might was positive he shouldn't have come. They knew he was here.

~End Notes~ I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'm really liking the changes I've made and feel like the story is better for it. I hope you all agree. OH! and if any of you see a mistake or goof-up feel free to let me know. I'll fix them as quickly as I can.

{1} So despite what I said in reply to some comments. I had a different Idea for why AFO never stole a dragon quirk. As hinted here.

Also, I've had some different Ideas for Izumi's love interest so that's going to be changing as well. Originally I was thinking of having her fall for Natsuo in the end. But I've since changed my mind. Not one hundred percent sure who I want her with now. Might open it up to suggestions or maybe even a vote.
