Inquisitor

- Chapter: 17 -

Izumi was dumbfounded as she walked home. The recent events seemed almost like a dream. She had pinched herself several times to make sure it wasn't. So much had happened in this one day. She and Katsuo had been attacked by a villain. Then All Might had saved them from that villain. She had grabbed his leg and flew in the air with him, almost dying. He had told to to give up on her dream. She had rescued Katsuki from the same villain that had attacked her earlier. On her way home All Might showed up again and offered her his power.

And she accepted.

She was going to start training for the power in two days early in the morning. Thus a problem arose. That was when her next training day with Katsuo was. She had to find a way to not train with him so she could train with All Might. All Might had asked her to not tell anyone about the quirk which means that she couldn't tell Katsuo.

She was still thinking of ways to get around training when she reached her house and entered. She heard her mother talking to someone inside and instantly her curiosity was intrigued. Izumi walked into the kitchen to see both Aizawa's sitting at the table drinking tea while talking to her mother.

Her appearance didn't go unnoticed as the three sitting at the table turned to look at her. Katsuo's dad looked as sleep deprived as ever.Despite expelling his whole class that year, he seemed to still not get enough sleep. He said that none of them had any chance of getting through and living as a pro. Katsuo looked like he had just seen a monster from hell unleashed into a kindergarten class. Izumi's own mother Inko looked like she had just aged ten years.

The first one to speak up was the only pro hero in the room. "Midoriya, care to tell your mother about what happened at a certain market street?" It instantly clicked in Izumi's head why everyone looked the way they did. Somehow Eraserhead had figured out what happened and had already punished Katsuo by the looks of him, he probably told him something along the lines of no sleeping during class.  Her mother looked older because of her worrying over what happened.

Izumi realized this, but that doesn't mean she was able to speak. She felt the words get caught in her throat and they wouldn't come out. Eraserhead noticed this and noted it. "It seems that the cat's got your tongue. That's fine, I know what happened in full detail thanks to the news report that both me and your mother were watching. I came over here knowing that Katsuo would stop by to tell your mother that your fine. So we all know what happened up to when you two left the scene. What me and your mother want to know now is really simple. What were you dong that made Katsuo get here a full ten minutes faster?"

Izumi knew that she had to respond to this question or else the two adults would be worried about her. The older Aizawa had slowly grown into someone that she feared deeply. That didn't mean she wanted to worry him. Infact that made her want to worry him even less. She used all of her willpower to speak up through her fear, about why she was later than Katsuo. "A-All Might show-showed up and offered to-to help m-me."

The table then turned to look at Katsuo who raised his hands up in defense. "What? I told you both that All Might wanted to talk to her! It felt like the conversation was going to take a personal turn so I left! It's not my fault you didn't believe me!"

The two adults squinted their eyes at Katsuo then turned their heads back to Izumi. Eraserhead stood up and then started heading to the door. "Okay then, I'm leaving. I have a patrol soon."

Inko then stood up and walked over to Izumi and hugged her. "You scared me so much when I saw you run out to help Bakugou. You don't do that again okay? Not until your a pro hero."

Izumi hugged her mom back "Mom, I promise that I won't get killed."

A loud crunching noise broke the moment.

The two Midoriya's turned to look at Katsuo sitting in the chair eating a bag of chips. He was looking straight at them and sighed when they looked over. "C'mon! That was the good part!"

Inko grabbed a broom and chased him out.

Izumi and her mother ate dinner, then Izumi went to bed. As she was laying down her phoned dinged showing there was a message. She picked it up and read the message from Katsuo. 

Katsuo: You don't have to worry about training in two days, it's canceled.

Izumi: Why is it canceled?

Katsuo: The warehouse needs repairs.

Izumi: That's... a thing?

Katsuo: Yes.

Izumi: Oh, okay.

Katsuo: Good night.

Izumi: Night

Izumi put her phone down and curled up with her sheets into a ball. For some reason she didn't understand, her face felt really hot.

Dagobah Municipal Beach - Two Days Later - 6 A.M.

Izumi had shown up early to the beach and saw it covered in trash and she instantly knew what her training was going to be. So she had decided to get a head start and started cleaning up the beach. When All Might showed up she started moving the heavier stuff, including what she was moving now. A broken fridge that All Might is sitting on.

"This fridge makes quite the comfy perch! Faster movement would make it even better though!"

"Come one All Might, Your 274 Kilos alone..."

A third voice responded "Nah, he looks more 255 to me. Old age must be getting to him."

Izumi and All Might turned and saw Katsuo sitting on a different fridge with his legs dangling off the side of it.

Izumi was shocked at Katsuo being there, while All Might almost had a heart attack. "Young Aizawa! What brings you here this fine day!"

"Eh, I was just wondering how hard it is to inherit your quirk. Just cleaning a trash filled beach seems a bit to easy for Izumi though. I give her eight months then this will be done. Unless I help make the training regime. Then I can make it take the proper time."

All Might started nervously sweating "Huh? What ever do you mean inherit my quirk? How could that happen...?"

"No need to act like you can't do that. When I accidentally grabbed your quirk I could tell that it could be passed to others. Just a plus of my quirk. Anyway that's not the important part. That's the fact that I've read this." Katsuo held up a paper packet labeled 'Pass the test, American Dream Plan!' At which All Might checked his pockets noticing the plan was gone. "It's to easy for her."

All Might looked up at Katsuo and tried to defend himself. "I made the plan with a beginner in mind. It should be of a reasonable difficulty."

"I've trained her Aizawa style for twenty months."

All Might hung his head it these words. "If she's done that then... change it as you please. I thought it was weird she could move a fridge already."

Katsuo smirked and pulled out another packet. He jumped down and walked over to All Might's fridge and handed him the packet. "Here's the modified version."

"Wait... Young Aizawa... don't tell me..."

"Yep! I knew that you'd train her here. You're not from around here so I knew you'd search for good training areas. So I guessed that this would be where the training would take place from there. Izumi, I suggest you start cleaning the beach, you won't get a moment of relief for the next ten months. The sooner you start the better."

"Young Aizawa, what is wrong with your family?"

"Oh, that?"

"That's an Aizawa Family secret."
