Well, I decided to keep going after reading dragonfire-217's story. By the way, great first chapter, man! :D

But yeah, here we go again. I'm continuing and writing where I left off, because apparently, I felt like it...what else is new? -_-;

Enjoy! :)

EDIT: 5/21/2021

When Katara reached the scene, she saw what this 'mud guy' looked like, as well as the person who's been taken hostage. The hostage...was a short little boy with purple ball-like hair and wearing weird clothes like Tsukauchi. He looked to be shivering in fear, wide-eyed and on the verge of being hysterical.

The mud guy...looked exactly like he was described. A man made of mud.

His shape was humanoid, but he looked a little bulky...or maybe it was because he was caked with more mud, making himself try to look more menacing. Either way, Mud Man was actually wearing some clothes, although they were dirty from the filth he was producing(she guesses?). An ordinary shirt, and a pair of long pants, along with odd, but interesting looking shoes. As stated before, he seems to have some bulk on his arms and has a build that belongs to an earthbending bodybuilder. But the most interesting feature was his face, as it looked like it was melting, but she could see the eyes very clearly. His mouth looked disgusting, like it was dripping from his lips and from the corners of his mouth, all the while gritting his white teeth, the only thing that seemed to be clean. He also had no hair, making him bald...she thinks?

But there was another thing that she noticed; the dangerously sharp looking knife that was close to the boy's throat!

Katara's eyes widened at the situation. Frowning, she grunted. 'Damn! I didn't really think this through!'

"Hey, who's that?" said an male officer.

"What's that girl doing!?" said a female officer.

"What is she trying to do!? She's ruining our negotiation!" said another cop.

"YOUNG LADY! COME BACK HERE!" the cat cop known as Sansa yelled as he and Tsukauchi caught up to the barrier that the police put up to keep bystanders at bay.

"Katara!" called out Tsukauchi. "Please, get back over here! It's too dangerous!"

'Well, no turning back now.' Katara thought with a sigh. She looked at the Mud Guy and gave him an intent gaze. "Let him go!"

The Mud Guy sneered at her. "And just who the fuck are you, bitch!?" He yelled through his garbled voice.

Katara recoiled at his harsh attitude. 'Okay, he's definitely a rude one.'

"I...I'm…" Her eyes then widened as she realized something.

'Oh crap!' She thought in dread. 'I can't tell him or anyone else who I really am, Yue said so! But…'

"Tch!" Mud Guy scoffed. "Fucking poser! Why don't you run along and act like a Hero somewhere else!? You're lucky I haven't slit this kid's throat by now!"

Katara stood there and looked around her surroundings. There were more people gathered around the perimeter as this police force(from what Katara heard from Tsukauchi) was keeping them away from the scene.

"Katara! Please, come back over here! Don't make it worse for the boy!" Tsukauchi called out to her again.

Katara winced. 'Yeah...definitely no turning back now. Maybe I should try a different approach.'

"You better do as these coppers say, little girl, or else this midget boy here will have a new coat of red on his shirt!" Mud Guy threatened harshly.

The waterbender took a deep breath and said, "Why are you doing this, really?"

This took the Mud Guy a little by surprise, but he loudly garbled out. "None of your fucking business!"

"Helping people is my business!" Katara countered back.

Mud Guy growled. "Well, what are you supposed to be then!? You're too damn young to be a Hero! So what are you, a Vigilante?!

"I'm neither! I just help who's in trouble!" Katara said with resolve.

"Oh, well, doesn't that make you fucking special!" Mud Boy sneered.

"Okay, first of all, stop with the swearing! You got a child in your grasp!" Katara scolded him.

"Huh?" The boy uttered and blinked in confusion as she stopped shaking in terror for a moment. "Hey, I'm not a child! I'm turning 15 in a few-"

"Shut up, kid!" Mud Guy yelled at him, instantly shutting him up.

Katara blinked at the boy's statement. "Uh…" She shook her head. "Look, is there any way we can settle this?"

Mud Guy glared at Katara. "You can get All Might's ass over here, so I can teach that fucker not to only humiliate my brother, but on ruining my life!"

Katara looked at the Mud Man oddly, "All...Might? Is that a...person?"

Now Mud Guy blinked. "...What? You, uh...you don't know who All Might is?"

This made Tsukauchi look on at the scene in confusion, as well as a little bit of shock. With his lie detector Quirk, he can see that she's telling the truth. 'What? She's serious? She doesn't know who All Might is?'

"Uh..." Katara paused for a moment. 'Wait…what happens if I say no? Will people get suspicious?' She didn't want to take the risk in this strange new world so she said, "Um...y-yeah! I, uh, of course I know wh-who All Might is! I-I mean, d-doesn't everyone?"

Naomasa looked at the girl with suspicious observant eyes. 'That, right there, was a lie.'

Apparently, Mud Guy was thinking that as well, as he looked at her warily.

"...What's All Might's gender?" Mud Boy asked her.

Katara blinked with wide eyes, 'What? ...Oh. Oh...oh crap…' She cringed and answered, "Uhhh...a...a guy?"

Tsukauchi narrowed his eyes at the girl with more suspicion. 'She's answering the question with such hesitation...that's very odd.'

The Mud Guy also wasn't buying it either. "Hmm...what year did All Might take down Toxic Chainsaw?"

'Toxic...what?' Katara sweatdropped, a dumbfounded look on her face. "Uhhh…"

The Mud Boy decided to ask another question. "What year, month, and day did he beat Black Adam and Prince Adam?"

"...Huh?"

"Later this year, what month, on the same day, did he not only stop a speeding bullet train with his bare hands from colliding into another one, but caught an airliner from falling out of the sky before it came crashing onto the ground?"

'What in the-What is this, a guessing game? I can't answer all these questions!' Katara started to feel nervous and cornered. "Uhhh…w-well, uhhh..."

Now the hostage looked at her strangely, almost forgetting the dagger at his throat. "Whoa, you seriously don't know who All Might is? He's like the number one hero not only in Japan, but one of the top heroes in the whole world right now!"

For once, the Mud Man didn't even tell him to shut up, he basically agreed. "Yeah, what the hell, girl? You've been living under a rock?"

Nervous sweat started to form on Katara's face as she tried to think of a better way out of this. "Uh…"

Tsukauchi looked on at the scene in great interest. 'Hmm...this girl may have been odd before, but...to not know who All Might is? Either she really has amnesia, or...she's from somewhere else entirely…'

Upon seeing that the situation wasn't getting any worse anytime soon, Naomasa backed up into the throng of police officers and exited out the back way, getting his phone out once he came out of the crowd. He hurriedly went to his contacts and pushed the number on his phone to call a good friend of his.

"I hope he answers in time...and is watching the news right now." Mumbled Naomasa as his phone was ringing. Exactly after the first ring, another person picked up on the other line.

"Hey there, Old Friend." said an adult male's voice, sounding like he was running and out of breath a bit.

Giving out a smirk, Tsukauchi went straight to business. "Hey there. Where are you right now?"

"Well, I was, *breath* gonna get some groceries, *breath* but I saw the local news inside the store, *breath* and now I'm running off to the scene. I'm guessing you want, *woo* uh, someone to pacify the situation?"

"Well, if you could. I would think you've seen that girl out there trying to calm the Mud-looking perpetrator down?"

'Oh yeah! I saw her *breath* on the screen. That's really admirable *breath* of her to try to end things peacefully. Although…*hoo-boy* I heard on the screen that she doesn't seem to know about All Might? Is that true?'

"Hm...I'm honestly beginning to think so."

"Huh? Really?' The man on the line seemed to have stopped running as he was catching his breath a little better. 'Well...that is a little strange. I mean...I would think he's very well known not only around Musutafu, but around the world, right? I mean, granted, I'm...uh, certain All Might won't be offended if no one recognizes him, but I wonder why she doesn't know anything about the guy?'

"I wouldn't know either. Listen, where are you? You're not too far from here, are you?"

'Oh, no! That's why I'm running! I'm nearby from where you are!"

"Alright then. So you're probably heading towards the scene right now?"

"Yep! I'll be there in a jiffy!"

"Great. Oh, and by the way, the perpetrator wants to see you specifically. Maybe you can try to calm him down when you get there. Also, I think he's related to that Sludge Villain you've captured. He said something about him being his brother."

"Oh! ...Really? Wow. I didn't think the Sludge Villain actually had any siblings. Well then, no worries! I'll be there!"

"Good. We'll try to hold him off. See ya." And with that, Naomasa hung up and walked back into the crowd of cops and maneuvered his way back to the scene.

[Around the time when Naomasa was making the call.]

Katara was getting more and more anxious, as she was trying hard not to reveal to the Mud Guy, as well as everyone else around her, on where she came from.

Apparently, Mud Boy decided to ask one more question, "Do you even know what All Might says whenever he appears on the scene?"

"I...uh, well, um…" Katara stuttered, fumbling her words as she drew a blank. Even the onlookers that are watching the scene unfold murmured to themselves about this girl not hearing anything about All Might.

'Okay, this is getting us nowhere and making my situation much worse...but at least I'm letting this mud guy be off guard. He seemed to have calmed down for the most part...maybe if I keep on talking...'

Shaking her head to ease away her discomfort, Katara tried asking Muddy, "Look, um-w-why do you want to kick All Might's...uh, butt?"

The Mud Villain went back to the offensive. "I said it's none of your business!"

"But why? What's slitting a…" she glanced at the short boy, "Uh, a teenager's throat gonna solve anything?"

"You think I'm trying to do this to make a point!?" Mud Man hollered. "I'm just mad as hell right now! I've lost my job because my brother was doing crimes and fought against All Might! They found out that I was related to him and fired me because they said it was going to lower morale at my work or some bullshit like that! They were just trying to find a way to get rid of me because I stank up the whole workplace! Not many people like me because I do stink! Do you know what it's like to be a person made of fucking Mud!? Sure, our family is not the most glamorous, but we still try to get by! And yeah, my brother made bad decisions in his life, but he's still family! So don't go acting all holy on me and telling me what I'm doing is fuckin' wrong! I know! I just...I just..." Muddy growled. "WHERE THE HELL IS ALL MIGHT!" He hollered to anyone around him.

Katara looked at him with confusion, until a light went off in her head.

'Wait a minute...is that what he's doing? If he is, then...'

"...You're not gonna hurt that boy at all, are you?" Katara asked him.

Mud Man snapped his head back at the waterbender. "Huh!? What!?"

"Uhhh…" The boy blinked and said in a shaky tone. "He has a knife to my throat, Lady. I think he intends to hurt me."

Katara ignored him and asked Mud Boy, "You're just doing this because you want to see this All Might person, don't you?"

At that point, Tsukauchi came back to the front of the crowd to view the scene.

Muddy looked at her as if he was studying her every move.

Katara frowned, now feeling a little sympathetic for this person. She may not know much about this world she's on, but she now knows this All Might guy is certainly highly respected. She also realized that she implied that she actually didn't know who All Might is, but right now, she doesn't care. This man sounded like he went through a horrible time, and he's just lashing out because he's angry.

She tried a different approach. "You seem to respect All Might, right? You talked about him and his, um...accomplishments. You even spoke very highly of him. And really, I get the feeling you don't wanna fight him, do you?"

Mud Boy narrowed his eyes at her.

Feeling like she's getting somewhere, Katara smiled calmly and asked, "What's your name?"

Mud Boy just stared at her. "...Dukanara."

The waterbender nodded. "Well, Dukanara, I learned that some people are just angry because they don't know how to handle their anger. In fact...I know someone who was angry at everything because he felt betrayed by someone in his family. He felt like he had to prove his worth to that person, to be someone he's not. He was even...my Villain at one point…" She looked at the ground with downcast eyes. "...But once he knew what kind of person he could be, and found friends that really did care for him, he felt truly...at peace." She looked up at him with resolution in his eyes. "And I think you could find that peace as well too if you just let yourself find it."

The Mud Man's eyes widened at her profound claim, still staring at the girl in front of him.

Meanwhile, the hostage was trying not to gag on the stench Dukanara was emitting. 'Man, this guy really does stink!'

Tsukauchi stood there a little stunned, quite amazed at how she's been able to pacify this Villain. Not only that, but the wisdom this girl is displaying shows that she was really mature for her age. She wondered what kind of hardships she had to endure.

"You see this right here?" Katara pointed at her chest that had a burnt hole on her shirt. "This...this was caused by me leaping in front of that person to save his life. I...I barely survived...but I would do it again. Just cause I can call him my friend now…"

Naomasa's eyes widened at what she said. Now only at how she got the wound, but he also caught the meaning behind Katara's words.

'She's...telling the truth.' The detective looked on, intrigued.

"I may not know your background, but...I know some people don't get angry without a reason. All I ask of you is to put the knife down and maybe we can talk about all of this."

Speechless, Dukanara looked like he was conflicted on what he should do right now.

"I...I…" The Mud Guy shut his eyes and gritted his teeth, trying not to form any tears from his eyes. His hand was still gripping the knife that was near the boy's throat, only this time his hand was beginning to shake. "I...I just…"

"It's okay...just put the knife down and let the boy go. Maybe we can talk to this All Might." Katara told him in reassurance.

The cops all looked on at the scene they were witnessing, a little astounded that this girl was doing all that she could to calm the Mud Man down.

Dukanara couldn't stop the tears from shedding as he sniffled. "Wh-Why…" He opened his eyes to the girl. "Why are you being so nice to me now? I could be a Villain and...and try to cut you next or something!"

"I don't think you're capable of doing that. Because I know deep down, you're your own good person. You talked about your brother, and you said he made some bad decisions...and it's really admirable that you still love him, but...don't you think you're going down that road once you continue what you're doing?" Katara asked him.

The Mud Man paused, stunned at that realization.

"It's not too late." Katara finished with a smile.

Everything was silent…

...Until someone landed beside Katara.

KER-CHALK!

"AAAH!" Katara screamed at the sudden sound next to her, as well as the slight shift of the ground and the appearance that came out of nowhere.

All the people around the scene gasped.

Right at the small crater, there stood a tall and brawny man. He was wearing a white shirt and ordinary blue jeans with some sneakers. His build was of pure muscle, almost like a body-builder, and his physique looked chiseled and well-defined, his facial features having just that as well. His hair is blonde and reaches to his neck, but two long strands of his bangs were pointing upward to form a 'V' shape.

And he was grinning a big smile, the smile reassuring, as if it was to tell people 'Never worry! It will all be better!'.

This man was the number one hero in Japan…

All Might.

"I AM HERE!" All Might exclaimed in grandeur fashion.

Katara, who fell to the ground from both surprise and the shock of the impact that this person made, looked up at this man's impressive height and gasped as well. Her eyes widened at his stature, the mere presence of this giant of a man making her feel small and feeble. And it's not only that, but he seems to radiate not only some sort of otherworldly power that she can't quite place, but he held great confidence and character also. And that smile...it wasn't fake. It was genuine. It was endearing, comforting, and encouraging, almost as if he's saying, "It's alright now.'.

"IT'S ALL MIGHT!" Yelled a male bystander.

The waterbender sat there stunned.

'This...This is All Might!?' Katara thought in awe.

Behind them, Naomasa smiled at the Hero's entrance.

All Might looked forward to Dukanara. "Young Sir! I have seen the news that you wish to harm that young man right there! I also have been informed that you are related to a Villain that I stopped two months ago, the Sludge Villain. While I am sorry that I have to incarcerate your brother, he was doing a crime and harming others. I, along with the other Heroes, had to stop him from doing so. But please, Sir, you must know that you don't have to follow the footsteps of Villainy! I may not know your situation, but I might know one thing that can be said quite clearly: You're angry. Whatever it may be, either if it's your brother being arrested, or any other hardships in your life, then I can assure you…"

His smile softened. "...it will get better. Do not give up on the hope of people who do care for you. Do not give up on the hope of a better day. And do not give up the hope that lies within you. For you can change and be someone that other people can look up to and inspire. Whether it be as small as a meaningful conversation, or let it be as big as a heroic action."

It was then All Might's smile turned warm. "People inspire us everyday. Even ordinary people, for they inspire Heroes as well. To thrive to be better. To be stronger so they can protect each and everyone of them. They remind us what a true Hero really means, and what they stand for. Either way, everyone can inspire others, so they can inspire the other...maybe even change one's life forever.

The Hero looked at him with an encouraging smile. "So I urge you...please let the boy go. Don't let your anger cloud your judgement. You can inspire others...you can be your own Hero to someone who needs one."

Katara looked up at the man in wonder, amazed at the speech he displayed. What he said was full of so much meaning, full of significance. The way he said it...it truly sounded like he really meant it.

It made Katara now know why this All Might person is so well-regarded and renowned...

All Might side-glanced down at Katara, who was still looking up at him. He then gave her what looked like a nod of approval, with the same warm and encouraging smile on his face.

The girl blinked dumbly at the exchange. 'What...did he...had he been listening the whole time? Where was he?'

She then heard a whimper...she turned to look at Dukanara, and saw that he was...crying.

The Mud Man was sniffling and whimpering, so much that he let go of the boy to wipe away the tears off his eyes and to wipe his nose with the arm he was holding the hostage around with.

The boy stood there, unable to move, but once he realized that he could move, he yelped.

"ACK!" The boy looked around himself to see that if he was somehow harmed, albeit he does have mud stains on his shirt.

"Ho-...HOLY CRAP! I'M ALRIGHT!" The boy checked his neck again to see his neck was bleeding, but he deducted that it wasn't. He turned to the Mud Man, who was still crying, but still looked intimidating to the young man. His eyes bugged out at how close he was to Dukanara.

"...AAAAHHHH!" The boy then dashed for his life where All Might and Katara(who was beginning to stand) were…

"SAVE MEEEE!" He rushed to Katara with his arms out.

...Or maybe where Katara was.

Before Katara could say anything, the small boy jumped up to Katara, and latched onto her, with his arms and legs wrapped around her body and his face planted onto her chest.

"Wha-" Katara sputtered out as she staggered from the boy's sudden leap towards her.

"Oh thank you!" The boy exclaimed, the side of his face on her chest. "You saved me! You really saved me!"

It was then the boy was...rubbing his entire face on Katara's chest.

Katara blanched, not knowing if he's doing this on purpose or if he's truly happy that he was saved. She almost was about to go with the latter when he muttered something for her to unfortunately hear.

"Hm...these boobs are pretty small, but hey, boobs are boobs. Plus, she is pretty attractive, so I guess this will do."

. . . . .

WHAM!

"AAAACK!" The boy fell to the ground with a huge bump on his head that didn't belong to his hair.

Scowling, Katara was red with embarrassment and anger.

All Might, who saw the scene, sweatdropped.

"Um..." All Might decided to handle that later. Right now, he turned to Dukanara. "Uh, w-what is your name, Sir?"

The Mud Man sniffled as he shed more tears. With a whine, he said, "Dukanara…"

All Might nodded and smiled to the man, "Well then, Dukanara, it seems to me that all you needed was someone to talk to. I apologize to whatever has happened to you, but you shouldn't give into anger and violence."

"I…" Dukanara sniffled. "I-I know now. I...I just…" He whimpered as the tears flowed down his dirty face, wiping them away with his arm. "I just…" He lowered his arm away from his face and gazed at All Might with a teary smile, "T-Thank you..." he hiccuped, "Thank you, All Might. You...You really are a true Hero." He turned his attention to Katara. "And...thank you for helping me as well, lady."

Katara, who calmed down after the sexual harassment given by the boy, looked on at Dukanara with a blink, but she then smiled and gave him a nod. "It's no problem."

Dukanara nodded, the same smile on his face.

All Might turn to the police force. "Go easy on him. He just had a bad day. And find him some good job applications as well."

"Yes sir, Mr. All Might!" said the officers as they saluted.

Naomasa smirked and nodded at the Hero.

Everyone who had been watching all clapped and cheered, thankful that a crisis has been averted.

Katara looked up at the huge Hero, a little mesmerized at how honorable he was acting. To be so well-respected, she was beginning to think if All Might was actually the equivalent of what the Avatar is.

While she stared up at him and pondered this, All Might turn his head to her and said with a small smile. "You did good, little girl."

She blinked as she registered what was said to her. When it did, she gave the Hero a smile herself and nodded.

'Of course.' Katara thought. 'I will never turn my back on people who need help.'

Meanwhile, the boy was in a pained daze on the ground, his eyes turned into swirls and the bump on his head throbbing.

8:00 PM

While everything calmed down, the boy, who's name is Mineta Minoru, decided to drop all the charges against Dukanara, since he wasn't really hurt in any way(well, if you count Katara hitting him upside the head). The police sent Dukanara back to his home, but not until the mud guy thanked All Might and asked for his autograph. With a jovial laugh, All Might does and signed his shirt.

Katara looked on at the once perpetrator and the Hero with a smile. This world may be strange, but it seems it has some pretty good decent people in it...aside from that Mineta guy.

She huffed as she remembered what that little pervert did with her chest. 'I saved that guy, and that was the thanks I got? He even had the nerve to say that my breasts were small!' She 'hmphed' at that, crossing her arms over her chest. '...I mean, sure, they're not as big as Suki's, but I'm actually the same size as Toph...and...she's twelve...while I just turned fifteen…'

...She pursed her lips, a little...annoyed at the unfairness of it all.

"That was a very dangerous thing you did back there, Katara." The voice of Naomasa told her.

Startled, the waterbender turned to see the detective walking up to her, along with the cat cop named Sansa.

"I agree!" exclaimed Sansa. "Even if it was within your best intentions, you would have jeopardized the whole hostage situation!"

Katara glanced at the ground, feeling a little shamefaced as she frowned. Honestly, she really wasn't thinking, she just ran over to the scene without a plan or anything! She felt like Toph right now, which she was certain the earthbender would pelt her head with a rock if she ever heard that...or maybe she would be proud of that fact. She can never tell with her sometime.

"Sorry…" Katara mumbled. "But, hey, everything worked out well, didn't it?" She said with a sheepish smile.

Sansa scowled, "While this did have a good outcome and you contributed to letting the perpetrator give himself up, you shouldn't have been so reckless enough to enter the negotiation, little lady! It could have been a lot worse!" He said sternly.

Katara winced. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry…"

The cat cop humphed as he crossed his arms and shook his head. "Kids these days! They want to be a Hero so badly. Can't they just wait until they find a good Hero School?"

Katara blinked. "Find a Hero School?"

"Um, why don't I just take her to the hospital and send her on her way home, Sansa?" Naomasa asked. "It seems the crisis has been averted and nobody was harmed. Besides, she didn't use her Quirk, which would've gotten her into a lot more trouble."

The waterbender looked at the detective in confusion upon hearing that last bit. 'I could get in trouble with using my Quir-I mean, my waterbending?'

"Hmm…" Sansa closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep sigh. He turned to Tsukauchi. "Alright then." He turned his attention to Katara. "Well young lady, consider yourself lucky. We're gonna give you a pass since you didn't use your Quirk and things have already settled down now. But don't try something like this again, alright? *Meow*"

"Uh...y-yes, um…sir?" Katara said, a little flabbergasted for two reasons. One, there's a freaking talking animal standing on his hind legs in front of her wearing the same outfit as Tsukauchi. Two, there was a school for Heroes?

Sansa nodded. "Good. And you really should have that checked." He said, pointing at the wound on her chest. He turned to Naomasa. "Well, Tsukauchi, I'll let you take care of her from this point on. I need to get back home. This has been one heck of a day."

"Sure thing, Sansa." The detective nodded.

The cat cop made his leave, which left Tsuakuchi and Katara alone for a moment. Before the detective could say anything, All Might came up to them.

"Greetings, Detective!"

"Oh hey, All Might." Naomasa said with a nod and a smile.

Katara looked up to the Plus Ultra Hero and couldn't help but feel small compared to this giant of a man. She wonders if he's that strong to gain a lot of high regard from the people here.

"I see that everything has finally calmed down now! And the lad known as Dukanara is gonna be just fine! He just needed some encouragement to help get him by. Poor guy said that his old job was harsh on him because he smelled bad. He was really enthusiastic too, he wanted my autograph and everything! Hard to believe he's related to that Sludge Villain...hm. That Sludge guy must be the black sheep of the family. Speaking of his brother, Dukanara wanted to visit him at the prison to help encourage him to change his ways! Heh-heh, ah brotherly love." He then turns to Katara with a smile towards her. "I have to say, young one, you certainly have stopped a situation from turning dire."

She blushed a little. "Oh, I um, just...hate to see anyone be in trouble." 'No matter how much a perverted creep they are.' Katara thought, referring to Mineta.

All Might nodded. "Well, that right there, is a sign of a great Hero. You certainly came in at the right time. I bet you rushed into the scene without even thinking, didn't you?"

"Uh...no, I...actually didn't," Katara said, a little flabbergasted he would make that conclusion.

All Might laughed heartily...until he started to cough.

"Oh! *cough* Man, I, *cough* laughed a little too *cough* hard there!"

"Maybe you should get some rest, All Might." Naomasa told him, hoping he picked up the 'hint'.

"*Cough* Oh yes! I *cough* think that's a good idea!" He looked at Katara one last time. "Well, I, uh, must be off! Goodbye, young one! Until then, never stop dreaming and hoping!" And with that, he bent his knees and JUMPED up in the air. He almost looked like he was flying, but in reality he was taking large and long jumps around the city.

Katara watched in amazement and awe as All Might went further away in the distance, until she couldn't see him anymore...

"He sure is something, isn't he?" Naomasa asked her, which made Katara turn her attention to the detective.

"Uh, yeah…" She looked to the ground, contemplating what to do from here. Tsukauchi was going to drop her off at some 'hospital' place, and then he was going to bring her home…

Home...she doesn't have a home right now...

Before she even started to get depressed, Tsukauchi interrupted her thoughts by saying, "Well, Katara, let's get on over to the car."

"Oh, uh, right!" Katara then followed him to his car. Once she entered the passenger side and sat in her seat, all the while remembering what she had been told by Tsukauchi about the basics of car safety, she asked while putting her seatbelt on, "So...where to now?"

...It actually got quiet in the car for a moment.

Seeing that the detective didn't answer, Katara looked at him. He had his hands on that wheel thing he used to steer the car with, staring down at it as he looked like he was in intense thought.

"Uh...Tsukauchi?" Katara asked, feeling a little uneasy.

"..." He turned his head to Katara. "Let's cut to the chase."

Katara blinked.

"You said your name is Katara...is that your real name?"

Katara's eyes widened in shock. "What?"

"Please answer the question."

He may have said it in a calm way, but it didn't ease her nerves. However, she decided to be wise and answer it. "Yes. My name is Katara."

"Sur-name?"

"...Uh...what?"

"...Nevermind. Next question...are you really from here?"

Now Katara's eyes are wider than dinner plates. "Uh...w-w-what-what do you mean?"

"I mean, are you from here, in the country of Japan, in the continent of Asia, and on planet Earth?"

'Oh crap!' Katara's mouth dropped in shock. "H-How-what-I-wait-um-I-no-I-w-well-I...I mean…"

"...Last question."

"Huh? B-But I didn't answer the second question!"

"Your reaction was all I needed. Now, last question...what exactly is…'waterbending'?"

Katara felt cornered for being found out like this. 'How did he…' Then she recalled he had a 'Quirk' called 'Lie Detector'. '...Oh. Wait...yeah, he did say that, didn't he? Then...in that case, he must've heard what I was saying about me jumping in front Zuko and saving him...well...shoot.'

She glanced down at what looked like a cup of steaming brown liquid...although the contents are questionable, she decided to use it as an example as waterbending. Raising her hand, Katara let her fingers look like she's pulling something in a fluid motion and repeated the same motion multiple times...and then the liquid began to rise! Levitating it out of the cup, she got it out in one elegant pull from her hand and arm, letting it become a formless mass full of steaming hot liquid. She began moving it around with graceful fluent motions, careful not to drop the hot liquid, whatever it may be.

Naomasa looked on in shock and awe as he stared at his hot beverage coming up from his cup. It took him a second later to realize that the coffee he had been drinking was being levitated and controlled by none other than Katara!

"Huh…so you can control anything water-based with your hands?" Tsukauchi asked softly.

Once she put the coffee back in his cup, Katara said, "Yeah...I can control any type of liquid. Let it be ice, rain, the sea, sweat, materials that are drenched in water like mud, bloo-...y-yeah, anything. I can also freeze it too."

Tsukauchi noticed that she didn't finish saying the word 'blood', but didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "Hm. That's quite an arsenal."

"Yeah...and as you may have figured out, I'm...really not from here. Like I said, I'm pretty much lost…" The waterbender sighed. "...I guess I really do have some explaining to do…" She cringed. "But...I don't know if you'll believe me. I mean, even if you are a lie detector, I don't know if some of the stuff I'd say would be outlandish to you."

Tsukauchi frowned at that. "Kid, I've seen a lot of weird things in my line of work. Heck, I live in a world where most everyone has a different ability and/or power. So you'll just be a part of the things I've experienced on a daily basis. No worries on that."

Katara smiled at that answer. "Well...okay. But I warned you. Some of the stuff I say may surprise you."

Naomasa smirked. "I'll keep that in mind."

The waterbender nodded, her smile in place. She took a deep breath and exhaled, collecting her thoughts on where to start. "...Okay. Well...um, first off, I'm...from a village...that's located in the South Pole...in my world. I'm...I'm from a tribe called...the Southern Water Tribe."

8:00 PM

"Whew! Got out of there before it closed." said a very abnormally skinny, almost unhealthy-looking man with blonde hair and sunken eyes. He was wearing the same clothes as All Might, and has the same voice as him slightly…

He was carrying groceries as he entered his home to relax for a bit, until he had to go out again around ten. Once he put his groceries up, he plopped onto his couch and took a deep breath.

"Man, I'm glad the hostage situation was taken care of peacefully back there. Now just a few moments of rest before I go see Young Midoriya in about an hour." The man smiled. "It's a good thing it's summer break. I can keep training Midoriya even further..." His smile died down a bit, "...That kid is really pushing himself hard..." He smiled again, "Well, hey, if he keeps on going and is still doing his set plan, then he'll obtain One For All in no time!"

He then set the timer for thirty minutes for his nap on his phone, until he got a text.

"Hm? Oh! It's Young Midoriya! Well, that's convenient. I wonder what he has to say…"

Izuku: Hey, All Might! My mom went to b-bed early and I-I'm thinking of going to Dagobah Beach a little early instead of ten! I-I want to ask though, is 8:30 okay? I-I understand if you don't want to right now, I j-just thought it would be better t-to just get going with the t-training and get it out of the w-way for you."

The man, apparently known as All Might, smiled at the boy's text. "You never need to worry about that, Young Midoriya."

'Heh. This young man never ceases to amaze me…' He sweatdropped a bit. 'Although, I can't believe the boy still stutters even when he texts.'

He decided to text him, and while he was in the process of doing so, another one came up.

"Huh?"

It was from Tsukauchi.

Naomasa: Hey, Toshinori. You home?

'Hm? I wonder what Tsukauchi wants?'

The man known as Toshinori texted him back.

Toshinori: Yeah. Just got home actually.

A minute passed...

Naomasa: Good. I need you to stay there for a moment. I'm coming over.

Toshinori blinked, "Wha?" He texted the detective back.

Toshinori: Now? What seems to be the problem, Old Friend?

He waited for a moment...

Naomasa: You know that girl you've spoken to?

Toshinori arched a brow.

Toshinori: Uh, yeah? That nice girl who stopped the hostage situation?

Naomasa: Yeah...she has amnesia.

"Amnesia?" Toshinori muttered to himself in surprise.

Toshinori: She does? Her cognitive skills seemed pretty okay.

Naomasa: She only knows certain people. When it comes to where she is, where she comes from, she doesn't know. She basically didn't know who you are, remember?

Toshinori: Well, yeah, but...I mean, okay, but, um...no offense, Old Friend, it's not like I don't want to help anyone in need, but...is there a reason that you're texting me about this?

The frail-looking man waited for his reply…

When the reply came, his eyes widened in shock. "W-What!?"

He quickly texted back...only for him to have another reply.

"..." He texted back.

He got another reply later.

"...Curse my good-hearted nature." Toshinori mumbled.

He texted back Naomasa.

Toshinori: Okay...I'll do it.

Naomasa smirked. "Thanks." He texted back his message and put his phone back inside his trench-coat.

Katara looked on in puzzlement. "Uh...what were you doing?"

The detective turned to her with a smile. "I think we got you a place to stay."

The waterbender blinked. "Really?"

"Yep. Just know that you have amnesia. You know what that is, right?"

"Uh...yeah, I know what that is."

"Good. Now, about this person who is going to watch over you…"

YEP! So what do you all think so far? Tell me! I love to know what you all think! :D

I don't know when the next chapter will be, cause I got to start moving in the next two weeks. So I'm really gonna have to put this on hold for now. D: But still I hope it gets you all excited for what's coming next! 8D

Thank you all for reading and keep on rocking everybody! ^_^
