Carlito's Hideout

Izuku's Pov.

I told Dad to go back to the security room to let me know if people are still out there.

Meanwhile, I went back to the hideout to tell her. Sure, he was a bad guy but he had his reasons and he cared for his sister.

She turned to see me with my head down. I took a deep breath.

Izuku: Carlito is... gone.

Her eyes widened with sadness and depression.

Isabela: No... Oh.

She turned back to the laptop. I sighed and rubbed my neck.

Izuku: You know he cared about you till the very end. He said he was sorry.

I stood there and listened to her.

Isabela (sad): The place we lived. Santa Cabeza... was blessed with nature.

She looked at me with a sad look.

Isabela (sad): Please believe me when I say my brother didn't want all this. He only wanted to live in peace in Santa Cabeza.

I sigh with understanding and nodded. Isabela looked the photo of her parents and brother. She had nothing left and suddenly, I heard a ring coming from my phone. I looked at the name of person and it was my... mom.

Izuku: Mom, are you okay?

Inko (voice): that's my line! You had me worry sick! I called you to ask how your trip was and-
