Reliving the Past

During the third day of (Y/n)'s recovery, Midoriya managed to get his internship with Nighteye where they were currently having discussions. "Today. We will be doing patrols and surveillance. We'll split up into two groups with me and Bubble Girl, and Mirio and Midoriya." Midoriya looked to the folder as he questioned the surveillance part of the day.

Bubble Girl turned to explain. "Nighteye Agency is currently working on a secret investigation."

Nighteye explained the situation. "Shie Hassaikai is a small designated villain group. I believe you had a classmate that has recently gone missing once again that was the daughter of one of the previous heads children. Its young head.... In other words, the number twi, Chisaki, has started showing strange actions. We believe that he has also acquired her to his group. His plague mask is his trademark."

Midoriya looked at one of the top photos in the folder. It had a male with brown hair and pale skin, there was also a red and golden mask similar to that he had seen (Y/n) used for her hero costume. Though he had never seen her put it on. "That mask is scary!" Yet the more he thought, he tried to remember if she ever told him anything about her past. "It's just that... (Y/n) had a similar mask for her hero suit. She also said she was raised by a villain... though she was rather secretive about his name. But designated villain groups are under the surveillance of the police,"

Lifting the second photo it looked older. The date on the bottom reading five years prior to the current year. The man in the plague mask was carrying someone in his arms. They were wrapped in a white blanket, and were in obvious distress. Some hair could be seen coming from underneath that was similar in color and style to (Y/n)'s current one. The other thing he noticed was that she too was wearing the plague mask, but had tears staining his jacket. Unlike in the previous photo, the man looked... almost concerned and gentle.

Almost as if he were trying to comfort the person in his arms. The last thing he noticed was the arm of the person being carried. While they did have bandages covering the vast majority of the arm, he could just make out the color of silver peeking out from underneath. It seemed as if it was swimming, or perhaps moving despite being a photo.

He continued to stare at the photo before continuing his thought. "So they usually seem pretty obedient. Though... this girl..." There was something he wanted to ask Todoroki when he got back to the dorms. When they had gone to help Bakugou escape, they could see (Y/n) on Shigaraki's back. As they watched what was going on, for a second he could see not only the bandages she used to cover her arms, but also on her back... there was burnt cloth that if you observed carefully, you could see something silver just behind the brown material.

With Todoroki being closer to her than he was, perhaps he would have known something about it and would tell him. "It's because there was a big break up once in the past. But this Chisaki guy is starting to gather them again for some reason. Recently, he's even made contact with the League of Villains. In fact, it was four nights after (Y/n) disappeared from school grounds. The details are unclear, though."

That got his attention. 'The League of Villains?! If that's the case then (Y/n) knows him for sure. She always said that Shigaraki only borrowed her from the person who raised her. It could be possible he was either there to check on her or get her back to begin with.' Midoriya thought as he stared at that photo in his hands harder.

Nighteye didn't seem to mind, though he did note the change in Midoriya's attitude. "But we haven't been able to get any proof that he's planning anything criminal. Because of that, the Hassaikai is a grey close to black, and we cannot treat them like villains. What we're after is their tail. Be careful not to let them suspect anything."

As they agreed to that, a small girl with a horn was running down the alleyway. She wanted to escape the man pursuing her. Someone, anyone...! Please, someone! No...! Someone.. Anyone...!" Before she knew it, she ran into someone with green hair before falling back. He knelt down to check on her.
