Questioning Fights

Izuku still laid on the ground, Eraserheads knee in his back to keep him from going anywhere. Though it wasn't really comfortable considering Izuku had a broken rib from a previous fight, and knows he messed up Eraserheads knee from how he landed.

The detective casually flipped through the papers on his notepad and pulled out a pen before immediately sighing heavily. "Is there any form of. . . Public Fighting in the Orphanage?"

Shinsou and Eri immediately looked towards Izuku, causing the other pro heroes to look at him as well. Izuku only looked in the opposite direction, finding the trees to suddenly become interesting.

"Try another question." Izuku replied cockily without a care in the world.

"Do you really want us to hold you here?" Hawk immediately replied to which Shinsou threw it right back at them.

"Do you really want the public to know you beat up a 13 year old child for information you are still questioning about, for which could in fact be false about some Fight Club in an orphanage? We have to be back in about thirty minutes and you beat up the quickest ride we have back! He's still healing!"

"Yeah" Eri stuck her tongue out at the adults and Izuku had the pleasure of feeling pressure being lifted off his back as Eraserhead stood feeling a little guilt to the kid he was roughly treating.

"Healing from what?" The man in black asked watching Eri quietly gasp and glanced over at Izuku who only groaned.

"I don't know. . ." Shinsou mumbled.

Hawks groaned "Yes, you do."

"No I don't."

"We are not doing this!" Eraserhead and the Detective said at the same time before pausing, eyes turning blank. Hawk turned around rather surprised at the incident and turned back around to ask Shinsou 'what happened' but by the time he turned around, Shinsou nailed him across his face. Faltering a bit, Hawk chuckled while wiping blood off his nose.

"You that's gonna take me down?"

"No, but he will!" Hawk turned but it was too late, a single Kagune swung into him and threw him through a tree. Izuku stood coughing blood as he walked over to the detective and took the keys off of him. Limping over, Izuku groaned heartily while passing him the keys.

Shinsou first unlocked Eri who ran up the hill to grab the stuff and then unlocked himself with help of Izuku. The moment the braces were off Shinsous hands, he gripped on Izu to support him on Shinsous shoulder. Eri walked besides the two as they hurriedly left the scene. The night had kept getting darker, and the trio was running out of time. The last thing they needed was to get on Mother Leeta's bad side.

Aizawa snapped out of it first, rather confused not even to mention wondering what the hell just happened. Looking around, he saw the collapsed tree with a single wing poking out which caused him to start running over it. Quickly yet carefully, he pulled Hawk out from underneath the tree trunk who only moaned in pain while gripping his wing.

Detective Naomasa snapped out of it next and groaned but only in frustration. He had remembered everything that happened and he couldn't do literally anything about it, it did nothing but frustrate him!

Watching Aizawa go to take care of Hawk, the detective himself walked over to the edge of The Cliff and stared down at the orphanage. Seeing the trio of kids walk inside and the lights shutting off. Reading his clock, the time read 7:27pm.

'Seems they are closing down a little early. Did they say something?'

The Friday following the incident in the woods.

Izuku washed up Eri as she giggled inside of the bubble filled tub. Grabbing a shampoo bottle, he poured some directly on Eri's head and started scrubbing it into her scalp and hair to wash the dirt out and bring it to a true white instead of the previous dingy white. Picking up a small bucket, Izu dipped it into the water and poured on top of Eri's head who simply giggled as it happened. Unplugging the tub, he then grabbed a towel and passed it to Eri who happily took it.

"Do fish live in the drain?"
"Nothing lives in the drain."
"Sharks live in the drain and wait until you aren't paying attention to gobble you up!"

Eri gasped before jumping out of the tub while Izuku glared at Shinsou bent over laughing. Looked back to Eri, he wrapped her up in the towel while shushing her panicked breathing.

"He's not being serious, he just wants to scare you."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive! I ate the sharks that live down there!"
"Ew!" Eri started giggling at Izuku while he dried her off. Shinsou took Eri's hand and led her to their room so he could dress her. Standing up, Izuku looked at the cars pulling up to the orphanage and held his side as he took deep breaths, it seemingly burned in pain. His hand held onto the windows edge so tight, his knuckles started to go white.

"Don't die. Not yet. Not today. You're too stubborn for that Izuku." He stared out the window as he repeated those words to himself, stopping as Shinsou came into the room and knocking on the door frame to make his presence known.

"C'mon so you can get this done with. I don't wanna be up late helping your wounds."

Izuku nodded his head and followed Shinsou out the door being led outside and into the hallway. Walking downstairs, he stood next to Mother Leeta to let her know that Izuku was there. She looked down at him and patted his back. Immediately moving away from the touch, Izuku hid it as means to just make his way downstairs.

Walking into the basement was the same as everytime, Izuku would head downstairs and be meet by people cheering him to enter the cage. The door would open slowly, allowing Izu to watch his prison be open if not just as slowly. Walking inside, Shinsou locked the cage and would stick his hand inside to rest his hand on Izukus chest- perhaps it was to feel his heartbeat against Shinsous own hand. Perhaps for the last time.

Making a fist and resting it on his chest, Izuku stared at Shinsou and Shinsou stared right back at him. Tears pricking at determined eyes, slowly the trapped boy would nod his head before moving away from Shinsous hand.

'I forgot. That's why I do this.'

Turning around to stare at the other side of the gate, staring at it, he watched the gate slowly open to reveal a black haired woman walk through the door. A small mole sat underneath her left eye with the a Red Mask that reminded him of a certain pro hero, she wore a trench coat with boots that sparked something in his memory.

The room went quiet as they simply waited for the bell to ring in the background, both of Izukus eyes lit crimson with black sclera as his opponent leaped forward immediately. Bringing out a whip she immediately whipped the spot he was just at, but by simply side stepping the whip he found a way around it and continued to watch her. The woman simply 'hmph-ed' as she started to strip her trench coat off.

"I must say, your speed is a complete turn on but that's not my goal today." Izuku took a predatory stance before looking away seeing the woman as who she truly was.

'She's Midnight!'

Immediately, Izuku stayed away from Midnight considering that within about two or three huffs, she could knock him out. 'Was she here to kill him? Save him maybe? No! She was here because Izuku beat up Hawk and Eraserhead.'

Even though Izuku didn't want to, his Kagune slipped out from his back making Izuku groan with a little pain. He felt lighter on his feet, ready to attack. Letting a predatory growl bubble in his throat he watched his competitor start to giggle at Izuku's hostility.

"Looks like I have a fan! How hot!" Swinging the whip again, she only did so with more hostility and accuracy. Izuku moved out of the way and swung his Kagune to ram Midnight into the metal fenced wall. She stood up only to smile creepily as she revealed a rip in her clothing. Using the whip, she gripped onto his arm and yanked him towards her.

The gas set off and he physically couldn't escape. He held his breath while struggling, Midnight who saw a bruise on his arm pressed into it, forcing him to gasp. Sucking in the gas, he felt his vision fading and he was unable to escape.
