Chapter 3: A Picture Worth 100 Words

Katsuki

Days had gone by, filled with papers and photos. People had tried to reach my phone, but my regards and attention was fully to the trial I had to these two people, Kirishima and Izuku. I hadn't truly cared about anything else. Stepping back to look at the copy of the mess I had made at work and now my own home due to the space it had taken. All of it attaching together but never leading to a source of all this. Though I was snapped out of my thoughts by knock, specifically Aizawas with his firm tone of three knocks. Though I hadn't said anything before the three men let themselves in towards my direction.

I never looked away as they began to adresss different things. Mainly having been Shinsou having done nothing out of the normal, other than picking up more hours. Which I didn't consider anything different due to them having been considering adopting soon, so picking up more hours came as a natural for the funds. Nothing really truly updated on the Izuku leads, that is till Aizawa had spoken.

With his deep tone, he went over to the mess of string rearranging as his speech went on. "First off, I had went to the principal, Nezu, he had said he sent it off for evidence to investigators, so cold there. Though I had went to him on any drama within Izukus relationships that may have affected Eijiro in some way, nothing. I had went to Allmights last disciple, Mirio, having asked him about Allmights relationship with the two. There was nothing on either, other than Izuku having separated himself from Allmight for an unknown reason." He paused to pour a drink, and grab some disks for us all to watch later since none of us have watched footage from anything to do with these two yet. "I asked further, and he hadn't known why, though Allmight before passing had seemed to avoid this subject all together. Mirio did notice however that Izuku was grasping more control on his quirk after, and quite quickly. After that, I went to go grab this from investigators, and I think you'll find it quite interesting."

With that I rose my eyebrow to his words, "oh?" He nodded and walked over to put the Kirishima footage in first. And having seen it all over again, a red head Kirishima having been dragged in through the purple mist. Aizawa paused it, "did you see anything?"

Denki having been the one to answer about the purple mist, though Neito having furrowed eyebrows. "Rewind it a bit, I need to confirm something." This caught my interest, he never looked this serious unless he was thinking deeply. Aizawa replayed it and paused again, Neito having confirmation and rewind it himself but slowed it for us. He pointed over towards where shinsou had been, "He's talking. Did you by chance hear anything they were saying when you were there?" I shook my head, having heard only sounds of distress and then complete adrenaline. Neito sat down, leading us to keep note on it.

Aizawa having changed out the footage to the said conversation between Izuku and Allmight. Allmight having put a hand on Izukus shoulder with a fake sadness across his face, resulting in a wide eyed and desperate look from Izuku. After Allmight left the scene, Izuku was stiff and his desperation had soon turned to a stiff hatred. What in the hell could Allmight have said to change Izukus perception that quick? Did it have to do with Mirio?

He had changed it again after Izuku left the scene in a storm of hatred. This footage being the night of Izukus disappearance. Which was just Shinsou having studied with Izuku, per normal for how they were. Shinsou had looked around the room, which wasn't too odd for me. Aizawa fast forward it to further that night. Izuku having been staring at his ceiling, then getting up to look out his balcony window. He opened it, crawling out, not having any expression across his face. "What the hell was out there?" I said rudely with confusion.

But didn't get the answer I wanted other than the one we all dreaded. Aizawa having spoke this time, "it goes dark around the 9pm mark. Only having seen the same mist in front of the security cameras. Which leads us to Izuku having disappeared at the hands of the League. Though what makes this difficult is, no alarms were set off meaning there wasn't an actual entry. And the investigators turned it to a cold case after a fire had taken place 3 months into the investigation."

This caused something within me to feel uneasy. I went over and poured more drink for myself, having wanted to settle this uneasy feeling. After throwing it back, I stepped over having a few different colored pins and strings. "So we know there was no struggle, meaning he was in a mental vulnerability due to Allmight and Mirio, his quirk, and whatever else that was taking place. Do any you have any way to see through Mind Freaks phone or devicea?" I look over to the three after having stuck a few more pieces to the wall.

Aizawa shook his head, though Neito and Denki looked at each other. Neito nodding and looking back to me before standing up. "I can use my quirk on one of his off days and try to investigate further. Let's plan to meet after. Denki you stay home after the quirk erases off to make it seem less suspicious."

And with this, it all came to an end for the time being. We had more to go off, yet nothing to go off since most of it had been interfered. Though all I wanted to do right now was drink and possibly have a smoke, and that's exactly what I did. That is till something set me cold dead sober.

A picture of a severely injured Kirishima. With the numbers painted next to him in what looked like a wall, which had been 2 months from today's exact date. What the hell was happening 2 months from now?
