All for One's POV:

The shadows of my office stretched long and ominous as I sat behind my desk. For some reasons I had this bad feeling the whole night around. It was the same feeling which made me not want to go sleep at all. There was only one thing that would make me feel this anxious: My son and my wife.

This feeling was driving me crazy.

It was as if it was warning me of something. 

I tried using my quirks to get a grip of the situation but I couldn't do that. To be honest, my medical condition wasn't all that well and I still needed a lot of rest before I would finally make a comback.

As I was a bit to focused on trying to firuew out what was bothering me, the door to my office burst open, and Shigaraki stumbled, half runningly in, completly panicking and an expression of terror on it as well. His breath came in ragged gasps, and his eyes were wide with fear.

Shigaraki: Master... we've lost sight of him. 

Me: Him?

I hoped it was not Izuku but there was no other him he could mean. Yet I dared to ask.

I had to know.

I needed to know it!

Shigaraki: We can't find Izuku. 

Me: What do you mean, you can't find him?

Shigaraki: He's... he's gone.

The words hit me like a physical blow. For a moment, everything else faded away, replaced by the loud sound of my panicked heart beat. This was why I felt so bad all night long. I knew that my gut feeling was never wrong and yet I couldn't figure out what it was before.....My son. My Izuku.

How could this happen? 

I explicitly told Shigaraki and Kurogiri to follow him and make sure that nothing is gonna happen to him.

I knew something was up for today.

This was why I asked them to follow him more closely today.

Still... it still happened....

Where is he?

I forced myself to remain calm and composed because I knew that for Shigaraki, I was like a father. He didn't need to see me like that. But inside, my mind was racing, my heart dropped to the ground, there was this bottomless pit that started to open in my chest threatening to swallow me hole.

I couldn't lose him.

I couldn't lose my son... under no circumstances would I lose my son.

Me: Explain everything, Tomura. What do you mean you've lost sight of him?

Shigaraki took a deep breath, before starting to answer me. His voice was shaking for sure. I could tell that even he didn't know how to explain this or how to feel about it. He was after all getting attached to the boy he was watching over from the shadows. No need to deny that fact but he himself was still oblivious to it.

Shigaraki: You asked us to watch over him with even more care today... that's what we did but he slipped away. There's no sign of him at home, and our contacts say he hasn't been out as a vigilante either. It's like he's vanished. Stain is also looking for him and Serpant is overthrowing the underwold in search for him. 

I clenched my fists, the anger and fear bubbling just beneath the surface. Izuku was everything to me, my reason for continuing this dark path alone. The thought of him being in danger, or worse, was unbearable. If I would lose him, I would destroy the world within a heartbeat.

Panicking won't help him.

I need to stay focused.

I need to start managing the LOV now...

I need to act!

I....

Oh Izuku... where the hell are you?!

Me:  Tomura, listen well. We need to find him immediately. Mobilize all available resources. Sweep the city. Check every possible location, every contact. I don't care over how many corpses you need to go or how many nomus you need to take. FIND MY SON!

Shigaraki nodded. I basically didn't leave him any option at all.

Shigaraki: Yes, Master. I'll get everyone on it right away.

As he turned to leave, I called out to him one last time, my voice softer but no less urgent.

Me: And Tomura... be discreet. We don't need heroes getting wind of this, especially not All Might or Endeavor or Hawks. They care for him like a family just like we do. Be careful not to get caught. I can't lose more than one person in a single night. If that is not possible, screw everything. Just find him, and bring him back safely.

Shigaraki gave a curt nod and hurried out, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I leaned back in my chair, letting out a heavy sigh. I had always known this life would bring danger to those I cared about, but Izuku... he was supposed to be protected, to be safe and even if I was a villain, I swore to protect what I valued and what I loved. 

Oh how I failed in that.

Where are you, Izuku? 

What has happened to you?

I activated my communication device, calling in every favor, every piece of leverage I had in the underworld. Information began to flow in, but none of it led to Izuku.  I even got in touch with Serpant who screamed at me to get my fingers into every favor and corner I can to pull every string and get him back. As if I was not already doing that. 

My frustration grew with each passing minute, my mind conjuring up worst-case scenarios.

 I won't let anything happen to you, my son. 

I will find you, no matter what it takes.

Hours passed, and still no word. 

My heart pounded with a relentless dread. 

The city was vast, filled with countless hiding places and dangers. 

I had to trust that Izuku was resourceful, that he would find a way to stay safe until we could reach him. Still he had chosen a live of being a vigilante, a dangerous one for sure. Yet I trusted that his connection to Stain, the heroes and myself would be enough to keep him save. 

Maybe it was even that, that got him into whatever situation he got into.

Hang on, Izuku. 

I'll find you.
