Who Am I?

Chapter 16

After Daiki had been discharged and was back home, Izuku decided it was time to go talk to William Owen and Riley Cunningham. He had convinced Hitoshi to come with him, seeing as they were the last people to see him alive. On the other hand, it was harder to convince Daiki to let them go. He kept saying, "I don't want to leave you again" which made leaving so much more harder but he had a responsibility, not just as a hero, as a friend too.

"You ready to go, Izuku?" Hitoshi asked before walking closer to Kurogiri, who was gonna make them a portal to outside William Owen's house.

"Yeah. Bye, Daiki. Bye Ren and Mai. Papa will be right back." Izuku called out before going through the portal with Hitoshi.

They landed in front of a house. It was a small but nice house. Izuku and Hitoshi looked at each other before Hitoshi walked up to the door and knocked.

There was sound of rustling from inside the house before the door opened. There was a guy. He had dark navy blue hair, with blue eyes. He looked a bit distraught.

"Who are you guys?" He asked, a thick English accent sounding.

"I'm Izuku and that's Hitoshi. We're here to talk about Drake Nicholson."

"Drake? Do you know where he is? He's been gone for days and we don't know where he is."

"We...? As is you and Riley Cunningham?" Hitoshi questioned.

"Yeah... How'd you know?" He asked, starting to get a bit suspicious.

"Can we come inside? This is really important." Izuku asked. William let them in. "Is Riley here?"

"Yeah, she is. Riles!" He yelled for his friend.

A girl with yellow long hair and green eyes came running from a hallway to the left of where they were standing.

"Who are they?" Riley asked. She had less of an English, more of an Irish accent.

"They're here about Drake." William explained to his friend.

"Oh, thank god! He's been missing forever!"

"We might want to sit down for this. It may be a lot of information to take in." Hitoshi suggested.

"Yeah, sure." William led them towards a living room. They all sat down. "So, what's going on?"

"I'm just gonna go straight to the point, you can ask questions after I say it. Drake Nicholson is dead." Izuku said, not noticing the glare Hitoshi was giving him for just straight up saying it.

"What...?" Riley gasped softly. "How?"

"I guess I should start at the beginning. In Japan, where we're from, there had been a lot of attacks recently on me and my friends, we're all pro-heroes. We figured out that al the attacks were coming from one person, Junichiro. I was kidnapped by him once. I got back but I hacked into their system and got their IP address. That address lead to Kings Cross here. We found Drake there and he told us that he had seen Juro at the station, obviously without knowing who it was. Drake helped up break into his base. It was a long journey down, but I think we got pretty close for three random guys. Then Juro was attacking us. I was holding him off, as Hito doesn't have a defensive quirk, more of a controlling quirk. He threw me off by attacking Hito then once I was distracted, he attacked me. He said we would die within the hour. Drake used his quirk to pass Hito's injury to Juro, which killed him around an hour later. And he transferred my injury to himself. He died later that same day."

"Where is he?" William asked.

"In Japan."

"But it takes like more than an hour to get from here to Japan."

"My father-ish has a portal quirk."

"What were his last words?" William asked.

Izuku looked at Hitoshi, as if saying he should explain that since he heard it. "He said, 'I know exactly what I'm about to do. I don't have a family, only close friends. I've been living on borrowed time. I was supposed to die when I was 7. 15 years later and I'm still here. It's about time I join my sister'."

"That's such a thing Dray would do..." Riley chuckled sadly.

"We're making a grave for him in Japan. I'm naming my kid after him." Izuku said.

"You're gonna have a baby?" asked Riley.

"Yes."

"Can we go see him?" asked William.

"Yeah." Izuku pulled out his phone and sent a message to Kurogiri saying to open a portal from his current location to Daiki's old hospital room. "Just a warning, we're gonna land in my husbands old hospital room. He was in an accident recently, but he's at home now."

"How are you having a kid of you're both guys?"

"It's complicated."

All four of them were dropped in the empty hospital room. "Follow me." said Hitoshi, walking out of the room. The others followed him towards a room on the same floor. Izuku opened the door and let them in.

Riley and William stopped walking while Hitoshi took out the body. They weren't really allowed to do this but they figured they had to do it for William and Riley.

Riley was the first to approach. She looked at the body and gasped. "Dray..." She whispered, trying her best not to cry.

William followed her and bit his lip. He didn't know how to react.

"I have his stuff at home if you want any of it." Izuku said.

"No, you keep it. I have a bunch of his stuff back in London." William said.

"Alright."

It was silent for a bit before William spoke up again. "Thank you. You can drop us back at my house now. Thanks for telling us. I was getting really worried. I was gonna start calling the police and everyone.

Hitoshi grabbed a piece of paper and wrote his phone number on it. "If you ever wanna call or come visit his grave or something, call or message me and we'll portal you over." He handed William the paper.

"Alright. Thanks." William nodded before grabbing Riley's hand and taking her back to the empty room.

Soon, they were gone.
