They spoke about random things after that.
Sometime in the conversation, Izuku remembered the screaming and decided to question his father about it. "Father? What was the screaming all about?" His father first looked suprised, what slowly turned into embarrassement.
"Could we please not talk about that? I kind of lost my cool down there," answered his father. Wait, his father lost his cool? What happened? Who was this person that got such an emotion out of his father? And wasn't his father supposed to be the I-never-lose-my-cool-and-am-calm-all-the-time villain leader? He respected his father's wishes (he isn't respecting yours), but now he wanted to know it even more.
"Now I want to know even more who could've accomplished something like that..." pouted Izuku, wanting to know it badly. His father laughed softly and ruffled his hair.
"I'm not going to tell you," said his father playfully.
Izuku stuck out his tongue. "I could just ask someone else, you know"
His father laughed again. "I wish you the best of luck"
Izuku knew that nobody was going to tell him if their leader ordered them not to.

Apparently this time he slept way over 3 hours. It was the next day already.
- - - - - -
It was Monday and Izuku was still at the headquarters. Everyone was allowed at the bar again.
The first one who came was Tomura. Where did he even sleep if not in the headquarters?
"Izuku! How are you feeling?!" asked the boy as he crashed through the door. Literally. He opened the door with so much force that he fell face-first onto the ground – and to his defense, he didn't disintegrate the floor while standing up. He stood up again and ran over to Izuku's bed.
Well, he was better than yesterday at least. He was mostly okay now. He could go to school tomorrow, he was sure of it.
"I'm fine," answered Izuku the question smiling and Tomura sighed relieved.
"That's good to hear. You don't know how worried I was when I was told that you weren't feeling well again! First you collapse after you entered the bar and now this! Do you know what's wrong?"
Izuku shook his head. He couldn't talk with Tomura about his quirk. But he could tell him that it has something to do with his quirk when he doesn't talk about his quirk, right?
"Not really, but it's most likely a drawback of my quirk," answered Izuku truthfully. I mean, he didn't really talk about his quirk, right? As long as he doesn't talk about it and just says it's the drawback of his quirk, it should be fine, right?
But now Tomura would probably ask what his quirk was, everyone would want to know what quirk had such awful drawbacks. He felt bad for keeping this secret, but he couldn't help it, his father said to not talk about his quirk with other people. Kurogiri and Kouri should be the only ones that knew about his quirk.
To Izuku's surprise, he didn't ask and talked about his training with Jishin instead.
- - - - - -
One week had passed since that day and everything went mostly back to normal.
Well, as normal as it can be when you're the son of a supervillain.
He tried to summon the oxygen quirk a few times, even if he despised himself for having the power of the man he killed. It never worked.
It kind of made sense, he wasn't born with that quirk, how would he know how to use it?
He laid in his bed, looking at the ceiling.
It was frustrating to know so little about his own quirk. The only things he knew for certain were that he killed when he took a quirk, that he would have a pain-drawback for the next days and that he can't feel the quirks he had. He wanted to find out more about his quirk so badly, but he couldn't and he knew it. He would need to kill again. Killing wasn't right for the sake of knowledge. Killing was never okay.
Izuku was terrified.
- - - - - -
"Father, can you sense my quirks?"
Hisashi looked at his son. "Why do you want to know that?"
Izuku looked sheepishly to the side. "Well, I want to find out more about my quirk. As much as possible." His face darkened as he continued. "Without..." He stopped.
Ah, so that's what this was all about. But now that he thought about it – why hadn't he?! – No, he couldn't sense his son's quirks. He should've noticed that sooner! "I can't," he said sceptical of himself. Did he make a mistake? Or was that possibly another aspect of Izuku's quirk? It's effective against Hisashi and that worried Hisashi. If Izuku were to fight against him seriously, he could steal other quirks in advance and Hisashi would never know. Maybe he would lose. At least his son couldn't fight. Yet.
He really needed to stop worrying about that. Izuku would never do that.
Hisashi swore to himself all those years ago that he wouldn't lose his son to the heroes.
If he failed, he wouldn't forgive himself.
"You can't? So you can't sense my oxygen quirk and–" started Izuku clearly confused, but cut himself off. What? Didn't Izuku know that he knew about him killing the gun villain and now probably having his quirk? Hisashi didn't have proof and wouldn't get any if his son didn't tell him, but he was sure that his son was the new owner of the gun villain's quirk. How else would Izuku have escaped? The villain was found dead afterwards too. So much evidence pointed to Izuku being the– "I'm sorry, but can I go write that down now?" Hisashi just nodded.
And off Izuku was.
- - - - - -
His quirk was way more different than his father's. Was that a good or bad thing? For Izuku, it was bad. If his quirk would've been the same as his fathers, he could've just asked his father about the specifics of All For One. But his quirk was a quirk on his own. You couldn't change that. He didn't want to figure his quirk out, but he wanted it so badly.
But he couldn't kill another person! He didn't want to hurt another person! He could never use his quirk again. He couldn't practice it on villains either, this death was too awful even for them. No matter what they did.
