Chapter 24

Once Izuku got to the hospital he was taken to a waiting room. Jirou was in surgery. When her parents got to the hospital the three waited for the doctor to tell them anything

"She's out of surgery. She will recover and there has been some permanent damage. Would you like your daughter's friend here for this? "At the nod towards Izuku he gave the two a light hug and left to grab some food. He tried to ring his mom and make sure she wouldn't worry but it wouldn't go through. She probably had an extra shift at work.

He went back to the Jirou's once he had eaten some food. It took just under an hour. They weren't in the waiting room so he asked the receptionist, who quickly went to a room and got Mika Jirou from a hospital room to the side. She had clearly been crying "can I see her?" Midoriya's voices sounded pleading

"She's been asking for you" responded the still sniffling mother

Mika entered the room first as Izuku entered he looked to the bandaged Kyoka and quickly rushed to her crouching at the side of the bed "It's all my fault I should have been there sooner I'm sorry Kyoka" for once he didn't get Kyoka's earjacks stabbing his side he was stabbed by her mother instead "Izuku Midoriya stop being an idiot" Mika chastised Izuku who had just pulled himself up from the earjacks attack was suddenly hugged by a crying Kyoka

"Izuku, you saved me"

"I'll never let this happen to you again" Izuku said. under his breath he said "I wasn't fast enough" Kyoka and Mika both heard him but neither said anything. Izuku knelt hugging Kyoka, stroking her back as she cried into him for a while.

A knock was heard as a man in a trench coat entered the room with a cat headed officer. At the sight of the man Jirou stiffened she immediately pushed herself into a corner and cried into herself arms up trying to protect herself. "Out Now!" A commanding voice came from Izuku and all 3 Jirou's flinched. Kyoka smiled as Izuku stepped out the door with the two men.

Outside the room the two officers stood unmoving hands on their weapons while Izuku towered above them. "Explain now"

"Hello I am detective Tsukauchi and this is officer Sansa. We need to question the victim of the sludge villain so please stand aside or you'll be under arrest for interfering in a police investigation"

"Tsukauchi, Tsukauchi. Ah you're the guy who was trying to arrest Koichi despite him literally working with your sister" Izuku added as much mirth as he could causing Sansa to muffle a laugh as he was glared at by the detective. The detective had an irritated face which grew disappointed when his quirk registered Midoriya's words as true.

"Yes the Cruller managed to get away with his crimes and even get a hero license thanks to that bastard Knuckleduster. Now why won't you let us speak with the victim" responded the detective.

Izuku's face grew angry "I suggest you never insult my sensei ever again." The detective merely nodded while Sansa drew his gun.

"As for why I won't let you speak with Kyoka, let me list the reasons. You clearly haven't checked with her doctor if you could question her. If you had you'd know she is a victim of sexual assault." The men's faces grew pale. "So why would I let two incompetent police further traumatise my friend when even their presence made her have a panic attack" Izuku finished and waited for their response.

"Regardless, we will still need to question the girl. She's clearly okay with men as she was fine with you and your not family and you are far more intimidating than we are."

The detective responded more callously than he intended. While Izuku responded he pulled out his phone and texted Koichi. "Why would she be comfortable with me, her best friend as opposed to two strangers who didn't even have the manners to wait to be let in. Or maybe it's because I'm the one who saved her from the villain. Quite frankly I don't care if you wish to speak with her and ask her doctor."

Tsukauchi nodded towards Sansa who removed a set of cuffs from his belt and nervously started to move towards Izuku to arrest him. Izuku's phone rang and he answered Izuku's smirk grew vicious"It's for you detective" Izuku handed the detective his phone while Sansa attempted to get the cuffs on Izuku. Once the cuffs were on Izuku he heard the door Kyoka had forced her way to the door as she got through she started falling asleep her legs gave out. Izuku caught her as the cuffs chains snapped like a child's toy.

Sansa looked worried he had already seen the quirk cancelling cuffs on Izuku's wrists.

Behind Sansa the detective looked pale as a voice over the phone was yelling at him. Then he saw Izuku snap handcuffs without any difficulty and he started to sweat.

"What's going on here?" A female voice carried seeing blood come from Jirou's now torn stitches "Detective Tsukauchi this is the third time you've broken the rules for questioning patients go to the waiting room and wait there" the detective nodded as he returned the phone to Izuku

"I'm sure we'll be meeting again." the detective said.

"I really hope not" responded Midoriya

Izuku carried Kyoka to her hospital bed while the doctor chewed him out for causing arguments in the hospital and then praised him for having more common sense than the police. Izuku realised what he had done "oh m-m-my g-g-god I-I-I just argued with the police" Izuku was panicking while the doctor laughed. "Don't worry kid Sansa won't hold it against you and unless you actually do something wrong Tsukauchi physically can't do anything his quirk is lie detector and he'd never break the law for a grudge."

This calmed Izuku a bit as he returned to comforting Kyoka who was back to tears after the encounter.

Eventually Tsukauchi got to question Kyoka where Izuku was told to wait with Sansa. The cat repeatedly apologised for their previous actions. Izuku would have to remember to thank Captain celebrities publicity team leader, Makoto Tsukauchi for her intervention.
