Izumi woke up restrained and alone in a cell. Her brain was muddled from the hit to her neck, but it take her long to figure out her situation. Panic bubbled and she struggled against the cuffs cursing when she realized they had quirk restraints.
“Shit… even though they think I’m innocent they’re still giving me the criminal treatment.” She murmured and looked around for something she could pick the locks with. She was starting to wish she hadn’t cut her hair, at least then she’d have a bobby pin she could use. When she found nothing to use she started slamming her cuffs against the floor trying to break them.
She couldn’t really blame them for restraining her. Her quirk was too powerful and dangerous for the police to give her complete freedom. It was especially dangerous knowing that her emotions were all over the place.
“Damn it I was expecting them to find out about sensei, but not you.” She panted and winced when the slamming movement caused her wrists to rub raw and start to bleed. She cursed and slumped up against the far wall tears falling down her face. “Don’t be an idiot, Tenko. Don’t come for me, don’t put yourself in danger. Stay safe.”
From behind the reinforced mirrored glass Tsukauchi watched his witness and prisoner with a cautious eye. From their brief encounter in Nezu’s office Tsukauchi knew a lost cause when he saw one. Izumi wasn’t going to give up her boyfriend, and was determined to take the blame herself. With her safe in this secured room the heroes were now free to set a trap for the lover in question. Several heroes were already posted at Izumi’s apartment, but there had to be other places where the scoundrel could hide out.
All Might and Aizawa had returned to the school hoping to gain more information from Izumi’s classmates. He doubted they would have much information considering how secretive she is. Nakahara was giving his sketch artist a detailed description of the boyfriend, and soon they would release that info along with an APB on one Tenko Shimura.
“All that’s left is gathering the evidence for conviction.” Tsukauchi decided and glanced back at his deputy. “Well?”
“No word from All Might and Aizawa as of yet, but we’re almost done with Nakahara.” He looked through the glass to the girl. “You’re sure you’re okay with this? Even with Nakahara’s testimony it’ll be hard to convict him without Midoriya’s consent.”
“I’m positive once her friends and classmates become aware of the situation they’ll be willing to support Midoriya and be her character witnesses. Even so you may be right. Without her testimony our case is flimsy at best.” The door opened again and Tsukauchi narrowed his eyes at the person who walked in. “Which is why I’ve decided to take extreme measures.”
“Hello again, Detective Tsukauchi.” Ace held up a hand in greeting, his other tucked in the pocket of his fine tailored suit.
“Ah Louis, it’s good of you to come.” Tsukauchi pretended a friendly relationship… but in truth Tsukauchi didn’t like this man. Thanks to his truth quirk he’d made friends and connections within several precincts within Japan. In return for his services he was given first rights at any criminal related stories.
“Is that my witness?” Ace walked to the window his eyes focused on Izumi who had resumed beating her restraints against the floor.
“Yes, she’s a clam now. The only statement she’s made is a claim that she’s the one that killed her guardian. We want confirmation of the truth as well as any information she has on the whereabouts of her boyfriend.”
“I see…” Ace pushed his glasses up further on his nose. “Then I’d better get to work.”
Please be patient, my queen. We will have you out of there soon.
