Villain or Hero...?

Chapter 10: "Father-son" day has finally arrived!

"I should watch the news from the incident.." said Hisashi and sighed as he sat down on the couch when Izuku was at school. "Even if I doubt that I'm going to find out anything new.."

He turned the recording of the news on and it took a while to get to the part that interested him.

"And lastly for today: Gun villain found dead." Hisashi frowned.

"Today was a child taken hostage by a villain with a gun quirk who robbed a bank and fled from the police. He demanded a car out of the city in exchange for the child," continued the reporter and the picture of probably the villain who took Izuku hostage appeared on screen. It was.. disturbing that such a villain had taken Izuku hostage. "But the police refused" Hisashi growled. "and the villain fled in a panic shortly after the refuse."

"The police found him approximately one hour later dead in an alley." But who had killed him? Had someone helped his son?

"But he didn't have any physical injuries. The police suspects that some sort of mind quirk killed him," said the reporter and laid the papers on the table in front of them.

"The child still isn't found. Witnesses said that he had green hair. Around the age of 6," added the reporter. "If you have any information on him, please call the number XXX-XXX-XXX." They would surely find him. There weren't many greenheads in Musutafu after all. Children at that. Maybe some rebellous teens, but no children. Ah, and Hisashi. But he guessed that he wasn't regarded as a 6-year-old. That would offend him. Hisashi chuckled a little bit at that thought. Then his demeanor changed into something serious again.

He would protect his Izuku in this cruel world – from the reporters too. At least until he learned to protect himself.

(Hisashi watched the newest newsfeed on that too, but they just said that they haven't found him yet and have nothing new regarding the villain. He was glad that nobody had recognized Izuku. And maybe their neighboors haven't thought of Izuku when the news were aired.)

Izuku was currently at the bar with Vincent (mutant quirk dude), Kaji (short red hair) and Akane. Alright, Kurogiri was there too, but when wasn't he?

"And then he seriously said that 'I was going to pay for killing his sister'," said Akane laughing. Oh yeah, Izuku found out that Akane loved to talk about her adventures as heroes. This story was apparently from the mission after the day Izuku collapsed at the bar. The night where Akane helped him and was nearly killed from this hero on her mission, before she could kill him. He felt kind of bad. He was at fault for her nearly dying.. He felt sorry for the hero too, and his sister for that matter, but.. he knew Akane personally now. He didn't know the hero personally, right? Wait, when had he started thinking like this? Well, anyway, Izuku was kind of surprised that there was a new hero he didn't know. He slacked off at his hero notes... A shame he was dead already.

Everyone turned to him.

"What's wrong buddy?" asked Vincent with his dull white eyes. They were kind of creepy, but Izuku got used to it after nearly four days.

"Oh, no – nothing's wrong, just... in thought," answered Izuku hastily and stood up. "And I just remembered that my – parents are waiting" He walked to Kurogiri and he opened him a warp gate.

"I wanna be introduced to your parents sometime!" whined Akane.

"I-I'm sorry, but that's not possible right now," replied Izuku and said a quick thanks to Kurogiri after saying goodbye and went through the warp gate.
