When Inko got the call that Izuku was found, she was ELATED. Her Izuku was found! The next day, she was called to the police station. She called the Bakugou's to come with her. In the end, only Mitsuki could come with her. Katsuki had school and Masaru had work. Inko was practically vibrating in her seat the whole drive there. Upon arriving, Detective Tsukauchi took the two back into an office.
Inko pushed open the door, fully expecting to see her little boy waiting for her. What she was not expecting was her arms to be forced behind her and handcuffed together.

"Wh- what is this?!" she growled. Ink tried to struggle or to use her quirk but, alas, they were quirk-canceling. Then she noticed something off, as Detective Tsukauchi had a couple of officers bring her forward. Mitsuki was strangely quiet. "Hey! Watch it!" She looked over her shoulder. "Mitsuki?!" Inko watched in horror that as she was forced into one chair with the two officers on either side of her, Mitsuki took her own seat beside Detective Tsukauchi on the other side.
"What is the meaning of this?! Mitsuki?"

*SLAM*

She jumped when the detective rather harshly dropped a file in front of her. He placed his hand on it and opened his mouth. "Inko Midoriya, you are under arrest for child abuse, breaking of rent contract, and legal fraud by lying on legal documents." Inko furrowed her eyebrows. "W- what? I've never done any such thing!"

LIE.

Detective Tsukauchi opened the file. "When we first were brought the file on Izuku Midoriya you had his quirk listed in the quirk registry as 'Quirkless.' Upon questioning you about this, my quirk registered this as a lie so we questioned you about it further and you admitted to your son having a quirk under the name 'Puppet.' Not only had you lied on the countries quirk registry but also on any school documents and medical documents. Legal Fraud."
Inko bit her lip. "Okay, so I did for that small little thing but you already knew that so why did you not arrest me there and then?" She narrowed her eyes. "And what is this about 'Child Abuse?' Are you accusing me of hurting my Izuku?"

He nodded, flipping the page. "After taking a survey of your apartment, taking your own testimony into account, and after a verbal interview with Izuku Midoriya himself-"

"'Verbal interview?'" she cut in.

"-we have come to the conclusion-"


*SLAM* Inko stood sharply, the chair falling behind her. "You mean to tell me that you have spoken with my son and have still not given him back to me?" She narrowed her eyes. "Midoriya," Mitsuki cut it. The use od her last name hurt Inko more than she thought it would. "Sit. Down." The officer to her right sat the chair back up and Inko complied. The detective continued.

"Izuku Midoriya is being held somewhere safe for the time being. Continuing, we have the verbal evidence from Izuku Midoriya after speaking with him on multiple occasions and the physical evidence from your apartment that you have been abusing Izuku Midoriya since he was four upon discovery of his quirk. Not only physical abuse, but psychological, emotional, and he was subjected to alienation from his peers, being forced to lie to them about his own quirk in fear of him being used in the same way by his peers but his apparent quirklessness only alienated him further."
Inko scowled. "'Physical evidence', you say? In my apartment? What proof do you have?" Detective Tsukauchi drew out an envelope from the file and pulled out its contents, photo's scattering over the table. "These," he gestured to them, "show all of the dents and holes in your apartment from being hit with an object with excessive force." Inko saw Mitsuki flinch but the Detective kept going. "As you know, we brought in a specialist who specialized in the past of objects. Our specialist used her quirk to see what had caused the dents. It works as a video of the past and in her report, she stated that Izuku Midoriya was thrown at all of the surfaces, sometimes more than once, with such force that it caused the dents and holes in the structure of your apartment. We have linked that to the unwilling use of his quirk. As you know, his quirk can only be activated by others and you took advantage of that. Along those lines, you have damaged the apartment you are currently renting outside of the contractor's notice."
