Scars

Fallen Pawns

This just in, pro hero, Edgeshot was found dead in his home.

Reports say there were no signs of forced entry.

Drugs were found at the crime scene.

Cause of death is still to be determined.

"After going through the evidence, we discovered that the drugs in Edgeshot's home were in fact quirk suppressing pills, tracing back to the ones confiscated from the Shie Hassaikai Compound." Detective Ukai answered the interviewers questions with simple and blunt responses, that way even the most dense person could understand.

"Could these be the same drugs that were found in Katsuki Bakugou when he was abducted by the Yakuza?" The reporter asked.

That information was never made public so it threw the rookie cop off guard. Officer Takeda adjusted his glasses and stammered nervously, not wanting to give out too much information without all the details. "Uhhh- well... Yes. These are in fact the same substance. It's still unknown where Edgeshot or the Yakuza acquired these drugs. But the police force will get to the bottom of it." He assured confidently.

"Do you believe Edgeshot may have supplied the Yakuza with these drugs?"

Takeda stiffened his body. These questions were so straight forward and he wasn't sure if he was allowed to answer them without getting approval. Even worse, he truly believed Edgeshot had become an extremist when it came to keeping quirks only at the hands of pros. So why wouldn't he sell these drugs to a faction that wanted to rid certain threats of their powers? "Ummm- no comment!"

Detective Ukai, as well as the reporters, who are followers of ReDestro, were purposely positioned front and center at the scene. They asked the questions that the Shin Sekai Order and The League needed society to know the "answers" to or at least for now question what was happening behind the scenes.

"Is it possible for a drug ring to be going on between hero's and extremist groups to annihilate violent quirks?"

"Whoa! Askin the big questions!" Ukai put his hands up in defense, playing his part as a clean cop. "That's way too early to tell but it's rather unlikely. And as far as we know, these drugs would have to be taken almost everyday for there to be a quirk diminishing affect."

"Have there been any past cases of this drug being accessible on the streets like Trigger?"

"Not as of yet. We're going to be searching day and night to find the source of this drug and where it's located." Ukai held in a laugh. The rookie was really believing it which meant everyone else was too. All the pieces were becoming theirs for the taking.

"If you have any information reach out to your local police department." Ukai added, "No more questions. Thank you."

Endeavor flung the remote at the wall with the force causing the object to explode on contact. This was bad. How could he call himself a hero while protecting his eldest son who more than likely has something to do with this.

No matter what the media claims, there's no way Edgeshot was supplying drugs to the Yakuza. He was a proud supporter of heroes staying true to the title. When Dabi revealed his true identity, Edgeshot was the first hero who reached out to Endeavor and said that he would do everything in his power to make sure the Todoroki's were safe, that was including Touya. All he needed was the go ahead from Endeavor, who at the time believed that was asking too much.

*flashback*

"How did you all get in here?" Edgeshot stood back in a fighting stance. "I have a very high grade security system and my location is off records."
