Shouta couldn’t stop thinking about Uragira Reta. He was a kid out there fighting Pro-Heroe’s battles. He had to be as old as his students, no older than sixteen.

And the kid looked terrified of him! He hasn’t seen anyone that scared of him since he scared his students with expulsion!

He tiredly slouched at the kitchen table, his new kitten Potato rubbing against his leg. He had been out the rest of the night trying to find the kid, but he had completely disappeared after he lost him. He sipped his coffee and smiled lovingly down at his cat before picking him up and holding him against his chest.

“Are you okay Sho?” Hizashi kissed his head. “Did you get to meet the kid?”

Shouta nodded and tilted his head to kiss his husband. “Yeah, and he was terrified to be around me.”

“How so? You’re a cuddly cat.” He leaned his head against his.

“He just looked so scared to be near me. He got shot in the shoulder and I tried to help him but he ran away from me.”

“Maybe he thought you were going to take him to the police?”

“I hope that's it...I wouldn’t do that to a kid though.”

“I know Sho, but maybe the kid didn’t.” He kissed his cheek before going to make them breakfast. 

“He was so small Shi...Around the height of our shorter first years.”

Hizashi frowned and looked at him seriously. “Could he have been Midoriya’s height?”

Shouta sat straight up with a just as serious look. “He’s presumed dead...no one’s seen him in three weeks.”

“He has a knack for not dying Sho…”

“No...My problem child can’t be terrified of me..”

“We don’t know why Midoriya disappeared either. And Hawks had said that Uragira had been betrayed by a hero.” He finished the Miso soup he was making and sat a bowl in front of Shouta.

“But who what hero would betray him?”

“All Might hasn’t seemed to be worried that Midoriya is missing. Now isn’t that quite suspicious?”

“Yeah, really suspicious…” Shouta sat in deep thought as he stared down into his coffee. “You would think with how much he adored and trained with him he'd be more worried…”

“Unless.”

Unless He’s the reason he went missing.”

Hizashi nodded and stared at Shouta. “You’re the only one that can do it.”

Shouta shook his head. “No, I think Uragira would trust Hawks more.”

“So you want to get him involved?”

“He seemed just as pissed as we were about this being a kid. And that it could be one of our kids, yeah, I want to get him involved.”

Hizashi nodded. “I’ll give him a call and ask him to meet us later tonight.”

“Make sure you tell him it's about Uragira Reta and that we want to help.”

The blond nodded. “Now, eat and get ready to see your students. Maybe by the end of the week we’ll have good news for them about Midoriya.”

Shouta nodded and started eating. “Can I bring Potato?”

“If he helps you nap during your breaks, then go ahead.” Hizashi stood up and kissed his cheek before going to get ready himself.

Shouta looked down at his kitten he was still holding and lightly smiled. “Your Papa wears to much product in his hair.”

“I heard that Sho!”

“I was being quiet this time!”

“I don’t have my ear plugs in!”

“Dammit…”

On the other side of Musutafu Izuku was woken by a knock on the door. He slowly stood up and went over to it and opened the door. He tiredly blinked up at the guy who was disturbing his nap.

“Yeesh Izu, you looked roughed up.” Dabi gently patted his head. “Long night?”

He nodded and stepped aside for him to enter the room he claimed in the abandoned apartment complex. ‘Ran into both Eraserhead and Hawks, got shot as well.’

Dabi grimaced. “Sorry buddy.” He sat on the floor. “Have you eaten yet?”

The greenette shook his head. ‘I ran out of broths.’

“Well.” He stood. “I have enough money to get us both food today.”

‘You don’t need to spend your money on me Dabi.’

“Hey, you need to eat, come on.” He gently put a hand on his back and grabbed Izuku’s hoodie. “I want you to eat a little.”

Izuku let out a quiet sigh and let himself be led. Before they exited the building, he put on his hoodie and put the hood up. He made sure none of himself could be recognized as either Uragira, or Izuku Midoriya. 

“You look fine. Besides, I’ll get us out of any situation.”

Izuku nodded and followed him, keeping his head down and holding onto the taller boy’s sleeve. He knew Dabi wouldn’t let anyone get to him or hurt him. He had made that clear the last time they had left the abandoned apartment during the day.

“Are you still only able to eat broth?” He felt Izuku tap his arm once for yes. “So still no sign of your throat healing enough for you to have a little bit of solid food?” he felt the two taps for no. “Damn, there's so many places we will have to go to after you’re able to swallow solid food again.” He felt him grip his shirt tighter. “Hey, don’t worry about it, it's not your fault that man hurt you.” He shifted and slightly turned to pat his head.

Izuku shrugged and put his head down more. He heard Dabi sigh a little before he moved him up to put an arm around his shoulders.

“Its nothing to worry about Ku, we’ll have all sorts of fun when you are better.” He slightly hugged him.

Izuku couldn’t be more grateful for Dabi. Not only had he been helping him, he saved him from his betrayer. He brought him back from the brink of death and helped him hide away. He helped him train his quirk, and he helped him become the vigilante he is now. He couldn’t be more grateful for his older brother figure.

***”Come with me, my boy.” Izuku looked up from his phone and over to his mentor All Might. He smiled and walked over to him.

“Yes Sir?”

“I just want to speak with you in private, nothing bad, nothing bad.”

“Are you sure Sir? The trains will be leaving shortly.” He looked worriedly over to the trains. 

“I’m sure Young Midor-”

“What are you doing Yagi?” Shouta stood behind Izuku now. “The Problem Child’s train leaves in less than ten minutes.”

“I just wanted to talk to Young Midoriya about something really important.”

“And it can’t wait?”

“I’m afraid not, it's about the man who requested him.”

Shouta sighed. “You have five minutes.”

“Thank you Aizawa. Now come Young Midoriya.”

“Okay Mr. Yagi!” Izuku followed his Mentor away from his homeroom teacher.***
