Izuku was put in a police car and taken into the nearest police station. The driving cop couldn't help but wonder what happened just now.
"Kid, did you deactivate his quirk?"
"I shouldn't talk to anyone until my lawyer arrives." The teenager remembered his dad's advice.
"You have a lawyer?"
"No, but my parents will likely find one."
"Alright. I'll be rooting for you, kid." The policeman showed thumbs up.
"What?"
"That bastard has been on the run for months, and he almost claimed another victim. Hearing him screaming out of helplessness was music for my ears. You disabling quirk reminds me of that Underground Hero. Erasure man, was it?"
"Eraserhead." He couldn't help but correct the driver.
"He thinks I only disabled the sludge quirk. How will he react if I tell him the full story?"
"Right. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be fine, kiddo. People have to be braindead to hate you after seeing you save that girl."
Midoriya nodded in response.
Before being placed into the interrogation room, green head had to hand over his belongings. When one of the adults took his phone, he started staring at it.
"What's wrong with this thing? It feels like its packed with electricity. I wonder if I..."
"Don't." Izuku interrupted him. "Just don't do anything with it. It's for your own good."
The cop dropped the device into the box like it was a ticking bomb.
"You could have been gentler."
Young Midroiya was led into the room with a one sided window, so someone was clearly watching him. Soon after, his parents and a bald man in a black siut joined him there.
"Izuku!" Inko hugged her son while crying rivers. "I was so worried about you..."
"I'm sorry, mom!" The boy started crying too.
"And here I thought we were in the clear." Hisashi shook his head.
After a few minutes the green heads calmed down. The bald man began talking.
"Greetings. My name is Aoi Sato, I am the representative of the Human Public Safety Comission."
Both parents looked at each other with a worried expression.
"It has come to our attention that Izuku Midoriya has used his quirk in a way that contradicts the official records. Not only that he used it against a villain without a hero license and without a self defense motive..."
Suddenly, a blond skeleton of a man in a yellow suit barged into the room.
"What the..." The HPSC guy almost sweared. "I told them to not let anyone in."
"And All Might told them to let me in anyway." He turned his grinning face towards Midoriyas. "Greetings. My name is Yagi Toshinori. I am the representative of the Number One Hero."
"What are you doing here? Aomine is caught and the case is closed. All Might's job here is done." The comission man was quite annoyed at the audacity.
"Not quite. He told me that he lost the track of the villain after trying to comfort his previous victim. Namera's quirk was powerful enough to render several heroes helpless, as was reported by the witnesses. For this reason, he wishes to atone for making this child step into the situation."
"Well, he is wasting your time. I was just getting to the part where we resolve this problem." The bald man pulled a handkerchief to wipe the sweat.
"Are you sure?" Hisashi said with venom in his voice. "It sounded like you were trying to scare our son to death!"
"I was simply explaining thing how they are. The Comission is willing to overlook this transgression if Midoriyas agree to cooperate." He looked at Toshinori with an annoyed expression.
"What exactly do you mean by cooperate?" Inko gathered the courage to speak up.
"First, you will tell us everything about kid's quirk and if possible return Sludge where it belongs." Aoi took a piece of paper and a pen from his bag. "As much as we'd rather let that... individual stay like this, the legal framework isn't there yet."
"Yet?" Yagi raised his eyebrow.
"Yes, we see great potential in the ability to seal quirks away. In due time, we would like young Midroriya to help us reduce the threat levels of Japan's most dangerous inmates."
"But why?" Izuku wondered. "They are already caught."
"Japan spends an obscene amount of money to maintain high security prisons such as Tartarus. If it was possible to separate an extremely potent quirk from its user, then we'd cut on expenses and move the finances to more pressing issues."
"Like my raise."
"Of course, the finer details depend on how exactly your quirk works, Midoriya."
"Great, the Comission wants their own All For One. I guess the old one wasn't enough to them." The blond man thought.
After receiving nods of approval from his parents, Izuku began his explanation. Mother and Father added whatever they remembered from their experiments.
"My quirk is called Collection because it lets me put other quirks into small trinkets. I need to touch a person with one hand and an object with another to initiate the transfer. If you or anyone else gets the object you can try to take the quirk. I and apparently my parents can only handle two quirks at a time, but it's possible that different people have different limits."
"You have no idea, kid."
"Did you use it on anyone outside of your family?"
"Only on the doctor who was diagnosing me. He had toggleable X ray vision."
"Alright. It appears he was either lying or incompetent."
"Please, don't punish him, sir." The boy pleaded. "It wasn't his fault my quirk is like this."
"I can't promise, but I'll try to paint him in a positive light."
"I will try too." The skeleton said reassuringly.
"Moving on." Sato nervously switched his pen on and off. "How did you know it would work on a mutant quirk if you only had experience with emitter types?"
"I used to smoke." Hisashi entered the conversation. "But ever since I stopped having Fire breath it became too hard for me. We think that passive mutation that made my lungs and throat fire resistant got moved as well."
"It's better this way." Inko added.
"Where is Namera's quirk right now?"
"It's in the phone the police confiscated. If you want him to take it back, but it on his body."
"We'd like it back afterwards. Our family can't exactly buy smartphones on a whim."
"I will make sure it is safe. Now, I imagine you also have questions."
"Is that girl okay?" Izuku wondered.
"Yes. She didn't suffer any permanent damage. In fact, she is thankful to you."
The boy smiled like it was his birthday.
"Can you contain this secret?" Hisashi asked.
"We are trying to, but it is proving to be beyond our capabilities. Too many eyes and cameras, as well as journos snooping their heads into the ordeal. Some wise guy accessed the quirk registry and figured out that sludge quirk was a mutation type. Officially, there is no other quirk that can take away mutations like that. Suffice to say, all eyes will be on your family."
"No worries." Yagi intervened. "Young Midroriya has sucessfully passed the entrance exam to UA high. He'll be living in their dorms for the next few years."
"How does HE knows about that?" Hisashi asked herself.
"Can we really trust them to keep our son safe?" Inko asked.
"Of course. Now, you never heard this from me, but All Might is going to teach heroics there starting from this semester."
"Really?!" Izuku jumped from excitement, only to get shushed by everyone.
"Yes, really. I don't think there is a villain insane enough to try his luck against him."
"What about my mom and dad?"
"Well, I was going to leave for US for the time being. Might as well take you, Inko."
"But my English is terrible."
"Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm sure you will adapt eventually."
"Splendid." The bald man put the paper in his bag. "I believe there is no reason to hold you here any longer. We'll send your phone by mail."
Mother and son went home, leaving the father alone with the blond man.
"All Might seems to be awfully interested in my son."
"To be fair, who isn't?" Toshinori tried to reduce the tension.
"Let me make one thing clear: if he ever does Izuku wrong, I will bury him underneath the earth! Do you understand me?"
"Crystal clear."
"For a civilian this guy is intense."
Hisahsi pulled a photograph containing him and his family.
"I need you to get an autograph from All Might."
"Uh, sure. I'll hand it over when young Midoriya comes to UA."
"Now, I'll need to grab Izuku's belongings and catch up to them."
Inko and Izuku were approaching their home. The area was swarming with journalists and other curious faces.
"Do you think they'll get tired if we wait here?"
"That's unlikely, Pumpkin."
They got quietly approached by a familiar looking woman.
"It was you." She said. "You are the one who saved my little girl."
Upon closer inspection, Izuku noticed that this woman looked similar to the girl who got captured earlier.
"My little baby wanted to say thanks." She hugged the boy.
"You're... You're welcome."
"Could you please sign this plushie?" She pulled it from her bag. "She wants to be your first fan."
"Sure thing."
The woman went away, leaving the duo to think what's next.
"Deku!" Another familiar voice called him out.
"How long have you been lying to me, huh?!" Bakugo's screams attracted the attention from the crowd nearby. "Were you looking down at me?"
"Get out." Hisashi said as he appeared behind him.
"What did you just say, old man?" Katsuki barked at him.
"Did those explosions make you deaf?" He lifted the blond boy by the collar of his shirt. "I said GET OUT, you little monster." And he dropped him on the ground.
"I'm the monster, huh? You are throwing a stone in a glass house, old man." He barked before leaving.
"Everyone, leave my family alone!" The father raised his voice at the approaching people.
The family had to push past them to get home. Eventually the bystanders got tired and left.
Izuku had to visit his old school one last time to collect the papers. Most tudents around him were hesitant to even get close, let along touch him. Some of them whispered things like "thief" or "villain" like he wouldn't notice. Only a quarter of them behaved normally given the circumstances. Was it because they liked him, or because they didn't view their quirks as worthy of theft?
"The news are already out?" He asked.
"Yup." The boy with detractable eyes answered. "You know, I used to envy your quirk, but now? Not so much."
"Honestly, I don't get why people label me as a villain. I never used my quirk on other people without their consent before."
"You can thank Bakugou." The girl with twin tails and glasses replied. "He wasted no time convincing folks here that you are Akuma."
"Well, I'll prove him wrong! I'll prove everyone wrong!" Green head gained determination.
"Yeah, good luck with that." The other child snickered.
"Was it sarcasm?"
"This isn't a development I was expeting." The Aldera principal said as he was singing the documents. "I always knew you were talented, but not this talented."
"It's not the kind of talent I'm proud of, sir."
"Proud or not, it is a part of you. You have chosen to reveal this ability and now you'll have to live with it."
"I'll do my best."
"I am sure you will. I wish you and young Bakugou good luck in your endeavors."
