Chapter 3:

(Here we go! I wanted to write how the village handles Lucas' abduction here, meanwhile Nezu is still conducting his investigation)

Bronson and a few villagers went after Flint. Wess and his son Duster said they were headed to Osohe Castle to find someone who could help their search;let alone a possibility of where the invaders could be hiding if they were still on the islands. Bronson encouraged Lighter to stay behind to look after his son, Fuel. After all, he was the same age as Lucas and Claus. "All right, through here." He said, trying to make his way to the Drago Plateau. "Why would Flint come all the way out here on his own? He could get killed. The creatures can get aggressive over here." Bateau asked, Bronson wiped his forehead from sweat.

"You don't know. Flint's going through a hard time." He explained. "He lost his kid, and he's trying his best to find him and bring him home. From his perspective, the weight of the world is on his shoulders." He couldn't say this from experience, but he knew Flint more personally from growing up with him, he could always see what was on Flint's mind ever since youth.

"So, he just thinks he has to solve this himself?" Abbot asked him, clenching his fist. "He's not alone here! When someone is lost, we have to stick together!" Thomas looked worried when he looked over the cliffside, Bateau looked at him. "Everything okay, Thomas?" He asked, "What if…What if Lucas is…you know…" He asked. "There's no way!" Bronson shouted at him, "They wouldn't just take Lucas, only to kill him." He was hoping that they didn't. He didn't want to see what would happen if that were the case. Flint, Hinawa, Alec, Boney and…Claus especially.

"There he is! Flint!" Bronson called out to him. Flint looked over and saw his friends over. "Oh. Hey, Bronson." He said, holding something in his hands. "What is that?" Bronson analyzed it, "It's a Drago Fang."

(Meanwhile)

Nezu concluded from Lucas' DNA results that he was half Japanese, half American. So, he began his search with files in the U.S.

Still, he found nothing. Only a few instances of babies named Lucas, but hardly any matched the description of his pup. "Still, nothing." He took a deep breath, pouring a cup of tea. With a pacifier in his mouth, Lucas looked at his adoptive father, trying to reach for him. Nezu smiled happily at his pup, deciding to take a break from his investigation.

"Here, I'll go ahead and make a new bottle for you, Lucas." He said, going to grab a clean baby bottle with formula milk. While it was in the microwave, heating up. He picked up his son, and Lucas grabbed his nose again. Nezu gently picked his hand off his nose. "Lucas, please don't grab Papa's nose." He said, kindly. Lucas started giggling. "Baaa…" He said, in infantile gibberish. Nezu only chuckled, "You are quite the precious one, little pup." He said, realizing this was around the time Lucas would start to speak. "Baaab!" He said, cheerfully.

Then, the phone rang. Nezu sighed sadly, "I have to get back to work, little one." He put him back in his crib with his new bottle, and the puppy plush to comfort.

If they called in a meeting with him, he may have to call Aizawa to babysit his son. He just hoped he wasn't going out patrolling tonight.

(A few hours, later)

"Say…Papa." Nezu told his son, trying to have him practice his first word. Lucas looked at his father, giggling. "You can do it, Lucas. Pa-Pa." He slowed down to emphasize the syllables. "Ba…" Lucas tried to say, copying his father's words.

"You're getting it, my dear boy!" Nezu said, cheerfully and excited. "Don't worry, you be able to say it someday." He nuzzled his forehead, which tickled the baby into laughter. "Hey, Nezu. I've got the paperwork you wanted." It was Aizawa knocking on the door, Nezu looked over. "Come in!" He said, cheerfully.

"Hey. Here we are." He said, plainly. Placing the paperwork on his desk. "Am I correct to assume this is from the class you expelled?" Nezu asked, taking note of his current track record. Aizawa nodded, "Anyway, how's Lucas doing?" He asked, still not sure of how the rodent was raising the boy. "As of now, he's doing better! I'm currently trying to get him to his first word." Nezu said, excitedly, eyes lighting up. Aizawa smiled, "That has to be fun." Lucas looked over at the tall man, grabbing his puppy plush and giggling.

Nezu still thought of his investigation, will he even find the boy's parents? Are his parents even still alive? He didn't know what to make of it. But he knew he needed to keep his pup safe. He couldn't bear to think of what would happen if Lucas fell into wrong hands again.

(So, here we are! I hope it's been fun! Next chapter is Lucas' "Quirk". I hope you like that chapter. Anyways, stay strong and awesome! And remember to cast anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7)
