Work Text:
3 heroes walked through the night
Normally it wouldn't be odd but the group was made of 2 daylight heroes and a dawn hero
They stopped at a building, the sign indicating it was a soda shop not unlike those in America
A bit farther was a staff entrance, really plain and easy to miss
“We are here. Please let me do the talking”
Nighteye knocked, 5 quick knocks and 2 slow ones
A metal slider squeaked above
“What are you doing out so late?”
His golden eyes flashed
“We were wondering if were open or if you had sesame cakes”
The slider creaked shut and there were some rattling from the deadbolts and locks
The bouncer let them in
The group took a look at the room they were let in
It look like a tradition speakeasy except there were only rounded tables from the north wall, a stage on the east wall where a woman in a long gown was crooning into the mic, and bar with 3 bartender on the west wall
There was a slightly opened room with 5 male pole dancers, one of whom were giving out lap dances
They decided to stop by the bar first
3 bartenders were serving, 2 were making cocktails while the third was polishing the glasses
All might approached the bartender
“Hello, we are a group of private investigators. A pro hero is looking for their daughter, have you seen this girl? We fear she had been trafficked ”
Th bartender took a look at the picture
“Can’t say I’ve seen anyone with green hair. But it’s pretty common for people here to dye their hair, put on contacts and change their name”
He scrubbed the glass thoughtfully
“Her freckles do remind me of Shie Hassaikaii’s mob wife. What’s her quirk?”
“Ah, she was um quirkless”
His coworker giggled and nudged him
“Super slashy Ninja army?”
He sniggered
“I mean, maybe there’s a chance? But Kage-sama goes for bigger breasts”
He turned back to them
“How old is she? Any visible scars? And when did she disappeared?”
“Ah she would have been 21 this year, and no scars. She disappeared arround XXXX XXX, when she was 14 ” Inko replied
“Then that rules out the Shie Hassaikai’s mob wife, Kiyako-sama, poor woman she has scars all over her arms and her lower legs. Man, she would have hit every single one of your points if it wasn’t for her looks or scars. I mean she even appeared in the Underworld around the same time!” The bartender’s coworker exclaimed
“Well your best bet is the forever rose compound, its a special compound where most quirkless people had to. They are pampered but only the matron likes to leave.”
The bartender said
“Ah doesn’t Kiyako-sama attend their Monday luncheons?”
Asked the bartender’s coworker
“You’re right! Isn’t her brother meeting her in the inner circle today?”
The bartender flashed them a toothy smile
“I’ll go see if he’s there, wait here”
He stepped out of the counter and behind a velvet curtain
A few moments later he reappeared
“You’re in luck folks, her brother is here, he’s in a good mood and willing to talk”
He pulled the curtains and led them into the landing
“Just head up and you’ll see a door, you can’t miss it”
The group thanked him and hurried up the stairs
They opened the door and was greeted by a plush room, couches and pillows everywhere, a man was blowing smoke leisurely and another pair was seated on the opposing couch, each swirling glasses of alcohol
A man with a relatively dry face and blue hair glanced at them boredly
“Heard you have questions. Talk”
All Might and Inko’s eyes widen at the sight of the symbol of fear but they downplayed it to fear
Nighteye placed a picture down
“Her name is Yagi Izumi, about 4’7, disappeared when she was 14, should be 21 now. No scars.”
Shigaraki glanced at the photo before bursting out in laughter
His partner, Dabi glanced at the picture before letting out some scratchy wheezes
All might looked at them
“What is so funny?”
Shigarki wiped a non existent tear
“M-my sister can explain it better, s-she’ll be here soon, ss-he’s oh t-this is rich, an information broker”
Dabi pointed to a couch
“Have a seat, cherry can’t come until her kid’s asleep”
The trio sat down
All Might broke the silence
“I didn’t know so many villains were children of heroes”
The opposing man snorted
“Dude, this is only the Japanese location, plus you’re half an hour earlier from rush hour. There’s locations in every country a hero is”
He blew a ring of smoke
“In a way, you are right. The 40 thieves hideout caters to every hero related villain. Down there are children related to heroes, be it a sibling or even a great grandchild. Up here is the inner circle, for those who are children of heroes and their partners”
He snuffed his cigar out on the dish
“I can see this is going to a be a rough convo. I’ll give you some privacy, later Shigarki, Dabi”
The men nodded their thanks as their acquaintance walked out
Nighteye turned to Shigaraki
“I never knew you had a sister”
Shigaraki sipped his drink
“She’s adopted, like me. Dad has a habit of taking in broken strays”
“Wait you are adopted?”
Shigaraki let out a gruff laugh
“Yeah, did you really think Sensei would get attached to a women in his age and occupation?”
Dabi snicked and sipped his drink
“It’s practically a tradition, most of the league are outcasts from society”
The door opened and a woman walked
She wore a cocktail dress, opera gloves and expensive jewelry
The woman sat down next to Shigaraki and placed down her clutch
“Sorry I’m late, did I miss anything?”
Dabi smirked
“These investigators need help finding a brat, maybe you’ve seen her at the Forever rose compound?”
Shigaraki shoved the picture towards her
She picked it up before a deranged smile appeared
“Oh”
She took a seat and began giggling
“OH”
Kiyako took a look at the group
“I’m sad you don’t recognize me, Inko, Toshinori, Mirai-san”
She pouted
“Do I really look that different?”
Inko furrowed her brows
“I am afraid I don't understand”
Kiyako smiled
“To be expected because you neglected me”
She took out her contacts to reveal emerald eyes
“Where are my manners? I am Chisaki Kiyako, also known as Shigaraki Kiyako, Kintsugi, Sibyl, less commonly known as Yagi Izumi or Deku”
She accepted a glass from her brother
“Ooh thank you, is it merlot?”
“Yep’
“nice”
“I-izu?”
She huffed and took a sip of her drink
“No! I am Kiyako, get it right”
“K-kiyako what happened to you?”
She smiled at Nighteye
“10 years of severe neglect, assult, daily attempts of sororicide and homicide, suicide baiting, and a suicide attempt can do that to you”
She frowned a bit and pulled out a compact mirror
“Or do you mean, my complexion. I don’t have wrinkles, do I?”
“Your skin is still smooth and milky nee-san”
“I can’t trust you, you always butter me up”
Kiyako shook her head, clapped the mirror shut and took off her gloves
“Because of your neglect, I suffered from broken bones, burns, seizures, brain damage, concussions, a limp from incorrect DIY medical care, respiratory distress, anxiety, regular cardiac arrests, gaslighting, stab wounds, my internal organs were basically ruined by the time Dad found me”
All Might looked at her confused
She laughed apologetically
“Sorry, All for one. He adopted me”
She took a sip of her wine
“Nee-chan try it, it’s really good”
He grabbed her glass and sniffed it before sipping
“It’s fruity”
She took the glass back
“Right?”
She waved a bejeweled hand at them
“Unlike you, Dad loves me”
She glanced at a watch and drained the glass
“We can talk at a later date, maybe over dinner”
Inko nodded
“A-alright”
Nighteye handed her a business card
Kiyako sighed
“Sorry brother, just wanted to check in as well as see what piqued my interest. Kai just phoned and will be home early from a business trip soon so I will take my leave”
He kissed her cheek and she gathered her belongings
She opened the door, turned around and smirked
“Have a good night, heroes”
With that she left
