Going Throuhg Life (Sad/Abused Todoroki angst)

Chapter 17 - The Questioning

The car ride was pretty long. It lasted more or less an hour. During this time, there was a bit akward but also comforming silence. No one was speaking about Todoroki or asking his questions, time for this would come later.

The boy himself was also compleatly silent. He was sitting still, looking outside the window. He looked like he was deep in thoughts which was true but not one hundred percent true. Cause beside that, half toned boy was using nearly all of his might to stay awake. He didn't wanted to fall asleep.

And he had few reasons not to do so. He wouldn't feel safe while going to sleep and waking up in diffrent place. He also wasn't sure how long he would be asleep and if someone would try to wake him. In the boy's eye that would bring everyone just more trobule than they already had with him.

His train of thoughts was cut off by the feeling that they stopped moving. And indeed, the car just parked and everyone was getting out. Todoroki quickly did the same and now they were heading inside the building.
Shoto had never been here before. It was big. The reception was right in front of the entry.

Yamato stopped there for a minute, talking to his co-worker. Their conversation was quite so the others didn't hear what it was about.

After he finished, the oficer turned to Aizawa.
"I would like to speak with you, mr. Aizawa. My partner will go with Todoroki at the back. We will join later."
Everyone nodded and Todoroki along with the policeman walked off. Aizawa and Yamato came into the policeman's ofice, closing the door behind.
Yamato gested Aizwawa to sit down, then sitting himself next to him.

"I am going get straight to the point now." Yamato started, the teacher just nodded.

"We will question young Todoroki now. I will do it, with help of psyhologist. If we'll be able to work something out and confirm yours suspections, he will have to stay here for a night, since it's getting late.
During the questionimg, you are allowed to watch the whole thing, but can't be there with him.
I don't think we will do more than this today. "
Yamato paused, giving Aizawa time to proces given informations.

" And one more thing. It's about Endevour. " They both tensed up.

The oficer continued
"As I was told, he was taken from his home and is here now. The others tried to question him but he refused answering any questions without his layer. We're waiting now."

There was a silent for a while. Eventualy Aizawa broke it.
"I understand everything so far. But can I ask you something, oficer Yamato?"
"Yes, of course." he answered, awaiting for the question.

"If Todoroki Enji will be comfirmed guilty, what will happen to Todoroki?" Aizawa asked. He truely cared about the boy's well being.

"It's complicated here. He's a rich man and public person. Honestly, I would debut if we'll be able to make him face all the consecuenses. Everything depends on his will to cooperate and of course, Todoroki Shoto himself. As a fifteen years old child, his will must also be respected, in some point at least. " Aizawa just nodded.
He didn't let it be shown outside, but now he was furious. The bastard Endevour ruined the life of his whole family and he can get out with it!? That's why Aizawa hate this corrupted society so much.

"I think that's all. Now let's head back and start the questioning." Yamato cut off this thoughts.

They both together made their way to the one of investigation rooms. Yamato walked in, while Shota headed to the next room, which was conectod with the other by one sideed window. It ment the the teacher will see the other room but in there, the window will be just a mirror.

*In the investigation room*
Yamato walked in and was met with Todoroki, sitting beside the metal table and a psyhologist next to him.
Her name was Tatsuma Ryuko. (A/n Yes the hero Ryukyu, I thought it would be fun to make her work for the Police, since its no quirks AU.) She usually worked with children, it was her speciality.

The policeman walked futher into and sat beside the table as well, opposite to the two. He looked at Todoroki. You could said he was nervous, yet he hid it almost perfectly, as always.

"Listen Todoroki, I'm going to ask you some questions. Ms. Tatsuma is here to help you answer them. I want you to answer as much as you can, an speak truthfully. After that, I promise we won't want anything else from you and you will get some rest, okey?" Yamato started, speaking softly and clearly. Shoto nodded, telling that he understands.

"Let's start then. Can you tell me something about your home? How is it like and who you live there with."

"Um... It's quite big and far from my school. I live there... with my father and siblings."

"So you have siblings, can you tell me about them?"
"I hav- had three of them. I'm the youngesr. There's Fuyumi, she's an adult but she stays with us to take care of me and the house. And there's Natsuo, he's a collage student and only visits us from time to time now." Shoto explained, getting a bit relaxed. Thinking about his sibling always made him happy.

" You mentioned one more sibling, what about them? " At the questions half and half boy tensed up.
"... He was the oldest. But now he- he's dead. He killed himself when I was maybe five, I don't remember him well, sorry..."

"That's alright. We don't need to know more. You're doing really good so far. Now I want to aske about your father." Yamato said, Shoto only nodded slighty. He knew this question would come eventually.

"Does your father discipline you for doing wrong things?"

"Yes."

"And what is a 'wrong thing' that could bring him to discipline you?"

"Many things... like being late or... speaking back and... other."
This talk was getting harder, for both the policeman and Shoto.

"How does he disciplane you for these things?"
After hearing this question, Todoroki took deep shaky breath.
"It depends... Sometimes it's a sla-p in my face. But usually he- he hits me with the bel-t. He hits just me back so it's not noticeable..."

"Is there any other thing he does to you, which he shouldn't be doing?" Yamato decided to go futher, even if just a little.
But Todoroki only nodded.

"Honey, we know it's hard, but you need to talk to us. We're doing this to help you, ye? Few more questions and it will be over." Tatsuma spoked. Her voice somehow really helped the boy calm a bit. So he decided to speak.

"Else are just insults, and lately... he starwed me. It was just one day so not a big deal tho." Shoto looked down.
Yamato decided on final question and asked.
"How long have this all been happening?"

"I don't really remember, sorry. But almost my whole life for sure."

"I understand. Well, that's all I have to ask for now. Thank you, you did great." the oficer exclimed and gave the boy small smile.
"Thank you, sir." Todoroki thanked, slowly looking up.

"Now I got to go. You're going to stay here for a night. Don't be scared to ask if you'll need something. Tatsuma, could you show Todoroki around?"
"Yes, with pleasure. Let's go Todoroki." she said and stood up and heading to the door, Shoto following close after her.

In the midtime, Yamato met with Aizwa and other policemans. They had few things to talk about.
