Chapter Start

~Unknown Location~

He couldn't remember much. The last thing he could remember was bumping into someone a lot larger than him. Then a sweet smell. Then nothing.

"Ah you're awake," A voice spoke. "it's a pleasure to meet you face to face Kaminari Denki," Denki blinked a few times before his vision finally came into focus.

"Who?" Denki asked. Standing a few feet from him was an impeccably dressed man. Dressed in the finest black suit with golden accents. His short black hair was slicked back with hints of grey dusting the roots. The worst part was how the man almost looked familiar. The shape of his eyes and their color too.

Denki narrowed his eyes as the man took a step forward. "I'm guessing you haven't pieced together who I am," the man said as he crossed his arms behind his back as he reached Denki.

"I can't-" Denki started before something on the desk caught his attention. It was a picture. The man was standing next to a stunningly beautiful woman. Long blonde hair with red tips was done in an intricate braid that ran down her chest. She was wearing a sleek red sheath dress. It was as his eyes trailed down to the child sitting in a chair in front of the adults. She had to be around four or five years old. She had a huge bright smile on her face. She was dressed in a very cute fluffy dress. It was when he saw the very distinct ponytail that it finally clicked. It was a tiny Momo. That meant this man. The man that had him kidnapped was...

"Yaoyorozu Shinjuro," Denki said as his heart started to beat faster. Was he in trouble? Was this because he wasn't rich? He wasn't a connected man. He didn't offer anything outside of love when it came to Momo. Did that piss off her father? Did he have plans for his daughter and now Denki was getting in the way?

"Well done," Shinjuro said with a soft clap. "Now as to why I had you grabbed," He leaned down meeting Denki's eyes. The man was freakishly intimidating. Denki gulped slowly as the man's eyes studied him. Then Denki felt something snap.

Shinjuro almost took a step back as the boy's face shifted. All the fear melted away replaced by cold determination and even some hatred. Shinjuro was impressed.

"Do or say whatever you want," Denki almost snarled. "Outside of killing me, I won't stop seeing Momo. I adore her and I won't let you intimidate me into breaking it off with her. So do your worst,"

Shinjuro straightened up and a smirk came to his face. Denki didn't break eye contact until he heard laughter burst out from behind him. Then the woman from the photo came in his a strikingly similar smile on her face. Denki knew her too. Yaoyorozu Ruka. Momo's mother.

"Well said young man," Ruka said still laughing slightly.

"I agree," Shinjuro said with a chuckle. "I do apologize for the deception. But you must understand plenty of people have and are trying to open talks with us to arrange a marriage to our daughter. So when she suddenly has a boyfriend just days after entering U.A. we worry someone is trying to subvert us and aim for her," Shinjuro explained. "It has happened before and we've scared several would-be boyfriends away then had to deal with the fallout of 'butting into Momo's life' when she finds out,"

"You kidnapped me!" Denki shouted.

"Yeah... we made sure everyone important knew. We informed your Dean, the local police, and heroes," Shinjuro stated.

"Then we had our little Nem-nem jump you," Ruka explained.

"Nem-nem?" Denki asked.

"For you, it's Midnight-sensei," Denki's head snapped to the side seeing Midnight leaning against the wall arms crossed under her bust.

"M... Midnight?" Denki squeaked out.

"Yaoyorozu Nemuri but she goes by Kayama so she could build her own life without being in the shadow of the Yaoyorozu corporation or family," Ruka explained.

"Wait so," Denki looked between Ruki and Nemuri.

"I was a surprise at seventeen," Nemuri said still leaning against the wall.

"A happy and welcomed surprise," Ruka added.

"Back on topic," Shinjuro said regaining Denki's attention. "I again apologize for the deception and abduction. I hope you can understand why we did such,"

"I actually do. But I am totally going to sell you out to Momo for this," Denki said as a smirk came to his face.

"We... Well let's not be hasty," Shinjuro said. Denki almost laughed seeing the worry flash over Shinjuro's face. His assumption that Momo had at least her father wrapped around her finger was right.

Denki was about to speak up when the doors slammed open drawing everyone's attention. Standing in the now-opened door was an irate Momo.

"Father," Momo said coldly. It was Denki's turn to see fear in the eyes of the man who abducted him. Shinjuro took several steps back as Momo stomped forward.

"Momo my sweet angel," Shinjuro studdered out.

"Don't you sweet angel me," Momo snapped before her eyes shot to her mother and sister. "You two don't even try to sneak away," She added to both women who were in fact trying to sneak away.

"Momo Darling," Ruka started.

"Mo-" Nemuri tried to start before the glare from Momo silenced them.

"I told you about Denki in confidence," Momo growled at her sister. "You turned around and told Mother and Father. You are in big trouble with me," Momo's attention shot back to her father who had slipped around his desk.

"You have to understand dear. It's for your protection," Shinjuro said trying to placate his daughter.

"Oh don't pull that with me. You grabbed Denki without any research. He's not like the others. Them I understood once I cooled off. Denki isn't from some rich family or corporation," Momo stated.

"Well, you see," Shinjuro tried to start.

"No, I don't see," Momo snapped. "The others all had connections they were trying to exploit. It's why once I cooled down and thought about it I understood you're meddling," Momo stared down her father for a few more moments then turned to Denki.

"That was awesome," Denki said as Momo knelt and started undoing the cuffs on his wrists. Once his hands were free Momo hugged him tightly.

"I am so sorry," Momo said tears forming in her eyes. "I understand if you wanna break up after this," She added.

"What are you talking about?" Denki said pulling Momo back so she could look into his eyes. "I said it last night. I adore you," Denki smiled brightly. "I might not agree with this," he waved to Shinjuro, Ruka, and Nemuri. "But I understand. They want to make sure you're safe and nobody is trying to use you,"

"But Denki," Momo started only for Denki to place a finger on her mouth stopping her.

"No buts. I'm not going anywhere. Who knows if we work out or not but I'm planning on running with this to wherever it takes us," Denki said getting a bright smile from Momo. "Besides," Denki smiled looking at Shinjuro. "They get to make up for this later,"

"Oh they absolutely will," Momo said snapping a glare at her parents. "Now let's go," Denki nodded and stood. Momo quickly took his hand and started pulling him away. "This isn't over," She snapped before slamming the door shut leaving her parents and sister to deal with their actions.

~U.A.~

Nezu sat behind his desk typing away at his computer when a soft beeping drew his attention to the hallway camera. He wasn't sure why he was coming to his office. Nezu glanced at the clock. The boy usually has his anger management sessions right now. This would be interesting.

Nezu quickly finished his email and poured a second glass of tea. Right as his guest was about to knock he pressed a button and opened the door. In walked his guest. A young blonde-haired boy. He was dressed in U.A.'s general course uniform. Nezu's eyes narrowed as he saw how clean the suit was. That was wrong. While the boy wasn't a slob he was slightly accident-prone and his uniform showed that. He almost always had a stain of some kind on the jacket or pants. These were pristine. Red flag number two.

"What can I help you with Furushima-san?" Nezu asked. Furushima Conrad one of the two students that Aizawa and Vlad King denied entry to the hero course. Nezu put it upon himself to allow them entry to the general course and offer them a way to improve and possibly enter the hero course later. Conrad jumped at all the opportunities Nezu had offered. The young man was apparently very well aware of his anger issues. He also took the time to explain the illegal quirk usage claims were because he couldn't stop his quirk from activating when he got too angry.

Nezu stared at the young man waiting for him to reply. He looked beyond lost. Something terrible had happened. Conrad took a slow breath before he looked at Nezu. "This morning I left campus to visit my grandmother's grave. While I was out I was grabbed by Yakuza," Conrad started.

"Hold a moment. I feel this conversation requires more than myself now," Nezu stated. Conrad nodded and Nezu grabbed his phone.

"Good morning Detective Tsukauchi. I was hoping you'd be able to come to U.A. at your earliest convenience," Nezu stated. "Wonderful I will see you soon," Nezu ended the call and dialed another number.

"Good morning Nara-san. Please come to my office right away," Nezu said before ending the call.

"Good morning Inu-san. Please come to my office right away," Nezu stated before ending the call just as fast.

"Please enjoy some tea while we wait for the others," Nezu said.

"Thank you," Conrad said quietly.

~Forty Five Minutes Later~

Everyone was gathered and Conrad had shown small signs of comfort. "Whenever you are ready Furushima-san," Nezu said as Detective Tsukauchi put a recorder down.

"Real quick," Naomasa said. "For the record. I'm Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa of the Musutafu Police Department and my Quirk is Trueman. With it, I can tell when someone lies. Whether it be a full lie or a half-truth. Could you please all introduce yourselves for the record,"

"Of course. I am Dean Nezu," Nezu stated simply.

"My name is Inui Ryo hero name is Hound Dog and I'm U.A.'s Guidance Counselor," Ryo stated.

"I'm Nara Satoshi hero name is Snipe and I'm the homeroom teacher of class 1-C," Satoshi stated.

"I'm Furushima Conrad student at U.A. in class 1-C," Conrad stated.

"Thank you. Now whenever you are ready," Tsukauchi said.

"This morning I left campus to visit my grandmother's grave. While I was out I was grabbed by three men. The first was a blonde-haired man with yellow eyes wearing a blue shirt with a green tie and black pants. The second was a large dark-skinned man with a black shirt and gray pants. The last one was a shorter guy with a bag over his head. I can't remember his clothes," Conrad explained before stopping and clenching his fists. His body shook before he took a slow calming breath.

"They forced me to follow them where I was taken to a man who called himself Overhaul," Conrad said as a shiver ran down his back. "He demanded that I work for him and gather information on heroics students and where and when they would be open for attack. When I refused he..." Conrad shook a hand coming to his mouth. Ryo moved the fastest handing Conrad a trash can. A moment later Conrad emptied his stomach.

"Please take your time. Do not force yourself," Nezu said as Satoshi patted Conrad's back.

After a few minutes, Conrad put the trash can down. "Thank you," he took a few steading breaths. "When I refused Overhaul used his quirk on me. It killed me,"

"I'm sorry what?" Tsukauchi said.

"His quirk... he called it Overhaul. It blew me apart then brought me back. he used it on me over and over until I agreed," Conrad explained. "But I refused to be someone else's puppet," the boy now looked Nezu in the eye. The Dean could see pure unadulterated hatred for Overhaul in the boy's eyes. "So I came to you,"

"That was very brave," Satoshi said patting the boy's shoulder. Tsukauchi stopped the recording and sighed.

"It seems Overhaul is looking to reclaim Eri," Nezu stated his anger was clear in his voice. "And he's attempting to use one of my students to do it,"

"Eri?" Conrad asked.

"With this, we can easily have Overhaul arrested for Kidnapping, Illegal Quirk use, Murder, Assault with a Quirk, and a whole host of other offenses, " Tsukauchi said looking to Nezu. "I can start putting a group together,"

"We will have that discussion in a bit. Ryo could you please take Furushima-san to Recovery Girl for a check-up and then take him to your office for a session? I feel you have a lot more to talk about after what you've gone through," Nezu stated.

"Of course," Ryo said helping Conrad up and leading him out.

"Now then we have much to discuss and little time to do it in," Nezu said.

~U.A. Medical Ward~

Izumi sat with Eri on her lap with Daiki on one side and Ochaco on the other. Standing before them was a woman in a black suit with very long bright blue hair and shining blue eyes. She was a representative of Child Services. After a very long talk with Nezu, Alextrasza, Yersa, and Nana they had come to a decision.

"With the glowing recommendations of several heroes including Great Britain's own Alextrasza. You have been granted custody of Eri," the representative said. "We will be checking up on her at random intervals to make sure she is safe and happy,"

"YEAH!" Daiki screamed. "I have a sister!"

"With that, I'll take my leave," the representative left.

"Eri?" Izumi asked seeing the girl lower her head as she began to shake slightly.

"Are... Are you my momma now?" Eri asked quietly.

"If that's what you want to call me," Izumi replied softly running her hand through Eri's hair.

"Momma!" Eri cried out spinning in Izumi's arms and hugging her tightly.

"Eri," Izumi smiled hugging the girl close to her. Ochaco's arms wrapped around both of them a moment later. Izumi opened her arms letting Daiki hug his new sister.

"Is she able to come home today?" Izumi asked looking over to Recovery Girl.

"Yes," Recovery Girl replied simply.

"Then let's go home," Izumi said lifting Eri and Daiki as she stood.

"How about I carry you Daiki," Ochaco offered.

"Mochimon!" Daiki called out reaching for her. Ochaco laughed as she took Daiki from Izumi letting her focus on Eri for a bit. With everything set the family of four took their leave.

~End Notes~ Well that happened fast. This chapter just kind of wrote itself I think. I hope you all enjoy the quick update. Not sure how often it will happen. Also, you all have no idea how happy I was seeing several people assume it was Denki that Overhaul grabbed.

So a bit of backstory for Mustard. I gave him the Conrad Furushima. Furushima is his VA's name and Conrad is just a normal German name. In this fic, he is half German half Japanese born and raised in Japan. His mother is a German woman who met Conrad's father over the internet and she moved to Japan to be with him. And yes he's part German cus of Mustard Gas
