Suko - a shindeku story

Chapter 18

Izukus POV:

I was sitting at the kitchen table, next to me two pro heroes that had probaly spent not so little time trying to track down "Suko" and maybe still tried.
We drank some juice and coffee while trying to work on a plan to free Hitoshi, which they probaly would have also tried to lock up not so long ago.
The Situation was so ironic, it was almost funny.

It has taken some time to somehow explain the situation a bit, without me accidentally me telling them  that I hadn't really told them the full truth about who I and who Toshi were.
They didn't ask any questions about why they'd kidnap me, or how I even escaped ,but it was as clear as day that at some point, I'd have to give them answers.
But right now it just didn't seem like that right time.

I didn't exactly remember the location of the basement I had been locked in in very much detail, but it was enough for the pro heroes to recognise the place.
Shouta seemed furious and for some reason even Hizashi wasn't to pleased to hear about its location.
"That mother-"
"Sho!"
"They are playing games with us! He'd never pick THAT place, if not to fuckin' piss us off."
"I know Sho, but-"
"That little pice of-"
"SHO!"

Finally the black haired mans head snapped in the blondes direction "What?!"
"I can tell you're quite furious, but I don't think young lister has even just ONE clue what you are even talking about!"
Now he looked at me, his glare almost piecing me with anger not even towards me, but probably that person, which he refered to.
Still, I shifted in my seat, just slightly uncomfortable.
"Right..."

He took an almost aggressive sip from his coffee, before sitting down again.
"What you are going to hear now, is something you need are not allowed to tell even that friend of yours we are going to free, is that clear?"
"Yes...?"
The black haired man sighed and leaned back in his seat.

"Well, then, this might take a while, kiddo.
As you might be aware of, I am an underground hero?"
I nodded.
"Well, i didn't just wake up one day and decide to, but I was trained.
I was trained good.
I mean, I didn't really want to be at the time, but yes, I was trained good.
My father...well... he was the leader of an programm that trained young boys, sometimes girls, that did not have a quirk exactly seen as a, so called, hero quirk.

He trained them without mercy and if they were strong enough, he'd team them up, make them a group, of well... villains.
The LOV is also part of what we call the "beehive", as well probably the group responsible for your kidnapping.
There are worker "bees", the ones already trained, but still working for the Queen, which, we assume, might be just another organisation, leading that one, but let's talk about that a bit later.

They all have their own small leaders, but in the end, they all obey him."
The black haired man paused and I could see a muscle on his jaw twitch, before he counts our on, fury in his dark eyes.

"He gets many of his "bees" from orphanages, soI wouldn't wonder if you friend was one of them too.
Maybe he-"
Hizashi laid a hand and the mans knee and made a gesture towards me, probably signaling him how pale I had gotten, making the man focus his eyes on me with ever so slight concern.

"Do you want a break? I can get you some more juice or coffee if you want."
"No." I shook my head. "Please, just tell me."
He nodded, although the concern in his eyes just grew.

"Once joined, you may not leave the "beehive" again. Many have tried, probably just like your friend Shinsou, but no one ever escaped it fully.
No one..., well, no one except me."
His voice grew hoarse and he was quiet for a second, before continuing on.

"Anyways, that basement that you described, sounds a whole lot like the rooms he'd lock the kids in that tried to escape or did something else he did not like.
Those traces of clasps that you described and the... well, let's call it an painting, sounds like the one in block A4.

I kid which had tried to escape was locked in there was locked in there for half a month, only given water every couple days.
I don't know what happened to him, but I don't think he was completely sane after that.

Anyways, if those guys have a kid with a portal quirk in their group, it's probably not one of their weakest.
He only kidnaps people who he has a personal benefit of, if they owe him something, or if they have a strong quirk he can use."

His eyes locked with mine and I suddenly felt very cold "Question is, kid, and I will not accept a lie this time, why would he kidnap you?"
