Work Text:
Izuku has always been curious; he liked to know things. He liked to see how and why things happened; solving mental puzzles and the like. Growing up, Izuku loved to read mystery novels and play games with a detective aspect. His mother had made custom games for him as he grew up to work his mind more and let him solve things to his hearts content.
When the bullying got pretty bad and Izuku was at his lowest and really was thinking of giving up on being a hero; Izuku entertained the idea of being a police detective. He spent hours at the computer research qualities of a detective, looking into what was needed to pass tests and the like. He dedicated a whole notebook to his research and the deep dive and research took a good chuck on his middle school years. It also helped him develop his analysis further and he would fill pages with notes based on his deductions and possible cases the heroes were on that wasn't public knowledge.
He even took an interest in cold cases. Diving into the evidence and seeing what people before had found. Seeing as he was a civilian; he didn't have much access to some of the information in police databases and such; but with access to the internet he was able to deduce and infer on some key pieces. He had notebooks filled with brain storms on certain cold cases and a few times — when he was tired enough and anxiety was non-existent — he had mailed those notebooks to the relevant police stations; always anonymously.
He'd stare wide eyed at the TV when he tuned to the news and saw a report of a cold case solved. When the police departments were asked to make a statement they had always thank a person who submitted a notebook anonymously and praise their effort in revisiting the cases. He kept that praise close to his heart; always thinking on his when times got tough and his determination to be a hero wavered.
No matter how many times he was called useless; he knew deep down he still had a chance. He wasn't useless.
As he got older and when he met All Might, the analytical and deductive nature of his mind never really faded. Even as he was gifted the mans quirk and made it into UA's hero course; he still loved to solve puzzles and do information dives on old cases.
That's why when Izuku noticed the change in Iida behavior he immediately went into research. He knew that Iida's older brother was attacked during the sports festival; but now that he's putting more of his time into searching — he now knows by who. The Hero Killer: Stain.
Stain had been a popular topic in forums that Izuku lurked in. Discussions of his ideology and his presumed motives. The kills he's done in the past and why he targeted them. Izuku had kept small tabs on where the discussions went; his brain piecing together information and making a mental jigsaw puzzle. Izuku was honestly shocked that the police hasn't figured the man out yet. The more Izuku looked into the case and the man; the amount of pieces that showed his story was astounding.
As the time before Internships got shorter, Izuku filled an entire notebook on information he found and put together. Try as he might, Stain couldn't cover all his tracks into villainy.
Stain was once a hero student named Akaguro Chizome for a much smaller hero school to the west in between UA and Skiketsu, but due to an incident Izuku never managed to find; he abandoned the track and seemed to disappear entirely. A few months later; a vigilante named Stendal started making appearances. As his time as a vigilante; he mainly just targeted and killed villains; only injuring heroes who got in his way of what he considers their punishment. With enough encounters with other vigilantes and villains; his morals and style changed. He starts targeting Heroes more and only going for villains directly in his way.
After Stendal was active for a while; he seemed to disappear entirely again before Stain made his first appearance. With his first kill being the hero Dove (she had the ability to transform into a dove and was well loved by the public) followed by the hero Brisk Step (he had the ability to heighten his speed and while he wasn't active for very long as a full Pro Hero he had his fair share of scandals). From there, Stain stained his hands further and become know to the public as the Hero Killer.
His ideology is the purist, most radical version of heroism. He believes that heroes must be selfless and driven by the purest form of altruism. He upholds an almost western style archetype of heroism who will risk anything and everything for humanity; much like All Might's early days. They must not seek any sort of reward for their duty. He aims to cleanse any and all who clash with his ideals and views himself as a necessary evil in the path of true heroism. He shames on lesser heroes and even criminals who lack conviction and a great purpose for themselves.
As the Hero Killer, he has killed 17 Pro Heroes and crippled as many as 24; Iida's older brother he most recent victim.
Many discussions on forums are about the mans quirk. Many ideas have been thrown out and talked about; but a lot of them never sat well with Izuku. It was pretty commonly assumed he had an enhancer emitter quirk for his strength and speed. Yet when Izuku dug around and found the autopsy reports for the kills; they always had a insane amount of calcium in the sarcoplasm causing intense muscle hardening and preventing them from moving. When he dug into the alive heroes reports, they always note that Stain never injected them with anything. He would manage to surprise them from behind, they feel a sharp stinging pain — similar to a paper cut — and then they'd lock up.
The victims were essentially experience rigor mortis until Stain makes the final killing blow.
When the crippled heroes where examined by heath professionals after; where they had felt that paper cut sensation a small bleeding cut was found. A few reports from heroes that managed to avoid being surprised and managed to fight the man told police that they were cut at least once deep enough to bleed and then Stain would lick his katana or knife. Only then would they lock up and become mobile. A few reports stated that Stain had enlarged taste buds and a longer than most tongue.
The release period of the high calcium release varied between each surviving hero. The timing groups are similar but between heroes it was always different until Izuku took a deeper dive into each person. The most common factor between how long a person was immobilized was their blood type. Those with type O blood always recovered the fastest, type A and AB were in the middle, and type B was the longest.
How the police didn't know as much as Izuku did; he'll never know. But as Izuku did his research; he filled a notebook and planned to send it before his Internship but he lost track of time so he just decided to take it with him. Maybe if he has a slow day with Gran Torino; he'll drop it off at the Hosu police station. It wouldn't be the first time he'd done so with their department.
If not, he'll carry the mini version in his hero costume.
Weaving through the streets of Hosu; Izuku keeps his head on a swivel. Listening to sounds of battle that isn't Nomu fights or voices that he knows. From what he knows of the Hero Killer; he'll choose a quiet area to attack his next victim and Iida is smart enough to deduce that as well. Izuku runs to the quester side of town, listening for any scuffles and sounds of a fight. Izuku assumed his next victim would be Native so he rushes to where he knew the man would've been patrolling.
As Izuku just about passes an alley way; the silver glint of metal catch his attention. Pivoting on his heel, he drops to a crouch and walks deeper into the alley. As he walks closer, the mental of Iida's hero suit shines in the moonlight with Native slumped against the wall, both awake and alive. Stain is monologuing to Iida, his large katana hovering over Iida. One wrong move or when Stain is done talking, then Iida is no more. With how bright the moon is and the streetlights; Izuku doesn't have much shadowed cover and with Full Cowling he lights up like a disco ball so stealth isn't much of an option.
Getting behind a dumpster and keeping his eyes still on Stain; Izuku pulls phone out — keeping it behind his back to hide the screen light — and sends his location to as many people he can. He'll need help if he wants to get both Iida and Native out alive. Hopefully someone get get him help but until then; he'll have to go alone
Rolling his wrists, Izuku bounces on the balls of his feet and drawing up One for All. Just as the lightening around him shows, he rocks forward; bouncing off the wall and ping-ponging towards stain, he throws his arm back and powers a punch straight to Stains face. The man goes flying while Izuku using his forward momentum to flip in place and land on his feet in a crouched position; between Stain and Iida. Stain lands on the ground and is prone for a few seconds before Izuku hears a low groan and sees him shift. "Tenya, can you move?" Izuku asks over his shoulder; not looking away from Stain who is slowly standing. "Native, can you?"
"M-Midoriya? What are you doing? Get out of here!" Iida pleads, the metal on his suit shifting with his pleas. "This has nothing to do with you! Save yourself!"
"Tenya shut up!" Izuku shouts, staring at Stain who is giving him a look Izuku doesn't quiet like. "Can. You. Move? Either of you?"
"What's this?" Stain taunts, hand tightening on his katana, "Another false coming to save the day?" His form is loose but Izuku knows he'll be fast; ready to strike the minute Izuku gives him the chance. "as much as this is entertaining; I have a duty to end these fakes. So please," Stain points his katana at Izuku "…leave."
"How about no? I'm not gonna do that." Izuku snarks, glaring at him. "Tenya, what's your blood type? Native?" Izuku hides a smirk when Stain tenses, giving Izuku a more analytical look.
"I'm B, kid…" Native huffs, looking pale with blood lose. Shit…Native will be down the longest, hopefully Iida can get up quicker…
"Midoriya, just leave! I told you this has nothing to do with you!"
"Tenya, I am a Hero!" Izuku shouts, fighting the urge to look at his friend. "This has everything to do with me, now answer my question!" Izuku tenses as Stains starts to laugh, head thrown back as the sound echoes through the alley.
"…Type A…" Tenya grumbles.
"Tenya, when you are able to move again; grab Native and run to the entrance and flag someone."
"Maybe you aren't a fake…" Stain smiles, head tilted as he stares Izuku down, "We'll see…" Stain lowers his stance and Izuku tenses, One for All burning under his skin and lighting the alley in vibrant green. Izuku hears Iida go to speak when Stain makes his move; rushing forward with speed more suitable of a speed quirk. Izuku waits till the last second and goes low, diving between the mans legs with 5% of One for All then jumping up when Stain turns to slice his katana behind him. He manages to keep Stain on the surprise as he punches down, landing a solid hit on the mans head, leaving him to crumble to the ground.
With Stain on the ground, Izuku rushes to grab his leg and throw him further down the alley and away form them. "Just walk away, Stain." Izuku pants softly, clenching and unclenching his fists as he bounces on his feet; ready to move the second Stain does. "This is not going to go well for either of us."
"Foolish child…" Stain mumbles to himself, standing with bent knees. "This is my mission!" He raises the katana to his mouth and goes to lick it but find nothing on the edge. Izuku smirks softly; thank god Hatsume made his costume knife resistant. It would take more than a hit to tear the fabric.
"You're not getting my blood, Akaguro-san." Izuku watches as Stain registers Izuku using his name, fighting a smirk when the mans form goes still. "Or do you prefer Stendal?" Izuku will probably regret taunting the killer but it's giving him some time to gather his thoughts more and give Iida more time. "Yeah, I know who you are…" Izuku licks his lips, watching Stain while deciding his next move. Hopefully someone got my SOS or Iida can move soon… "Probably more than you'd like me to."
"How?" The man barks, hand griping his katana tighter.
"I did my research, you're not that good at covering your tracks as you might think." Izuku thinks hears Iida shuffle slightly; hopefully the quirk is wearing off. "Native I don't understand your motive for and Tenya is still learning, like me. Regardless if now he's blinded by whatever, he has a chance to grow." Izuku can try to get him monologuing again, but he can only hope he takes the bait and Iida actually listens to Izuku and moves.
"I must cull the weak! Those undeserving of the title must perish!" Stain exclaims; getting slightly erratic. Izuku goes to speak but Stain rushes forward again, katana held tight and ready to swipe at Izuku. Cursing, Izuku jumps up and bounces off the walls to get away. As he's in the air, he sees a flash of red and white at the back of the alley. Oh thank fuck.
"Shoto! Get Tenya and Native!" He shouts, focusing on the deranged man chasing him again. He hears the crackle of Todoroki forming a large ice slide and sees it cover the ground. Raising an arm, he blocks the katana swing at his face and pushes it away before punching forward, hitting the nose-less face. Flipping up and over the man Izuku lands on the ice ramp and slides down towards Todoroki, Iida and Native at their feet. "Thanks for coming." Izuku notes, watching as Stain lands and turns to look at them. They've managed to keep their distance still.
"Some more information would have been nice; I was almost late." Todoroki's voice is music to Izuku's ears. Stain lunges again but has to dodge as Todoroki creates another ice attack; the temperature of the alley dropping a few degrees. "Took me a second to realize it was a request for help. Endeavor should be sending other Pros soon. I asked before heading your way."
"Don't let him cut you. He paralyzes by ingesting your blood. What's your blood type?" Izuku rapid fires the information, rolling his shoulders as Stain preps another attack.
"I'm type O."
"Please, my friends! Run away; I don't want you to get hurt for me!" Izuku rolls his eyes and rushes at Stain, leaving Todoroki to defend from a far and deal with Iida. He charges a punch as he rushes forward but Stain feints away, going for a strike at Izuku's arm. Izuku hears Todoroki shout at Iida before he has to focus on Stain again as the man goes for another attack. Izuku dodges under the mans strike but misses the small knife in his other hand. The knife is plunged and then removed from Izuku's shoulder.
Izuku cries out in pain and quickly falls victim to Stains quick as he licks the blade. Izuku falls to the floor with a hard thud, growing as he feels his muscle tighten. "Deku!" He hears Todoroki call out before ice grows under him and slides him closer. Todoroki looks down at Izuku, loosing sight of stain. Izuku sees the glint of a knife soar past; clipping Todoroki's face and slicing his cheek.
"Shoto, dodge!" Izuku cries out; watches as Stain lunges forward, hard grasping the front of Todoroki's uniform and drawing him close. His tongue is out and ready to lick his face when Todoroki's left side alight in brilliant flames. Stain dodges out of the way of the fire, growling as he stands back. He throws another knife and Todoroki raises an ice pillar; embedding the blade and keeping it out of reach.
Several more knives are thrown as Izuku focuses on forcing his muscles to relax. Knowing he's type O; the paralysis will wear off much, much faster than Iida who should be getting up soon as well. Stain then moves to target to Native but Shoto goes on the defense. "Commendable, trying to protect this fake." Stain mocks, a sneer on his face. "Let's see how long that strength last!" Izuku feels his muscles loosen; the time a lot short than he anticipated.
With feeling back, Izuku jumps from flat on the ground and intercepts Stains lunge towards Todoroki. Punching a powered fist at the man stomach and throwing him backwards. Stain stumbles towards the ground away from everyone; turning as he fell and landing on his hand sand knees. Izuku stands in front of everyone; crouched and ready to lunge if needed. The grinding of his katana on the concrete grating on Izuku's ears. "We need to get out of here…" Todoroki mumbles, fire dancing between his fingers and ice crystals coating his right hand. "Tenya, can you move yet? It's been awhile."
"I have minimal movement but no strength yet." Iida's voice is rough.
"I'm still immobile, no feeling." Native chimes in and Izuku bites his lip, thinking.
"We'll hold until other arrive. Shoto, can you cover me from range? You've managed to keep him on his toes." Todoroki hums affirmatively and Izuku goes on the offense; bouncing between the alley walls and charging another punch. The punch misses as Stain dodges but gets caught in a long ice wall comes barreling towards him. He's encased in the ice but he breaks the ice before it can become thick enough to hold him still. Stain then dashes forward; a knife leaving his fingers towards Todoroki that Izuku has to duck around before throwing another punch towards Stain.
This punch catches Stain shoulder and causing him to get moved back. Izuku then has to go on the defensive as Stain starts a volley of attacks on him. Knife slashes and stabs. His katana almost finding a home on his shoulder. Izuku hears Todoroki yell something at Iida before a blast of fire comes in front of Izuku, intercepting a stab from Stain.
"This is pointless!" Stain yells, swinging at Izuku erratically. "This is my job! Why are you fighting for the life of a man who deserves to rot in the depths of hell!" A stab barley dodged. "The frauds of Hero Society must all be culled like the vermin they are!" Izuku manages to aim a kick at the mans side, shoving him into the alley wall. "Why must you meddle where you don't belong!" Stains voice is hoarse as he yells, going for another attack.
"I know you think you're right, Akaguro-san but you must know this is wrong! You wanted to be a hero yourself; you were going to school!" Izuku pleads, feinting an attack but ducking behind him. "No one deserves death, they need the chance to learn!"
"Stop using that name! That man in dead and gone!"
"That is who you are, Stain. You are Akaguro Chizome!" Both Izuku and Stain stand feet apart at a standstill. The alley is quiet except for their panting. "Stop this needless violence and killing; let them learn from their mistakes and atone for what they've done."
"They are past the point of redemption! They focus on attention, praise! Nothing but their own gain! A true hero does nothing for their own benefit!"
"Only you benefit from this!" Izuku interrupts his speech, watching as the mans stumbles at his declaration. "Only you benefit from these killings. You can just be proud of yourself for doing absolutely nothing." Izuku can't tell if its a good idea to goat him like this, but it's too late now. "You are not doing anything useful. The heroes you've killed get celebrated for a supposed fight that they lost; they become martyrs, not examples like you want."
"Naive…. naive child…" Stain shakes his head, breathing heavy through his mouth.
"You're calling me naive?" Izuku shouts incredulously. "You call heroes who save for any other reason than to save is selfish! But saving people will always be selfless! It's pure good! Anyone can save anyone. Who they are, where they're from, what they've done or are doing doesn't matter." Izuku really is feeling the blood loss now; his brain to mouth filter has quiet a few holes. "Anyone who can look at someone else who is hurting or hurting others and think 'It's wrong'." Izuku spreads his arms wide and motions to everyone. "I am saying this is wrong." Izuku snarls, getting back into a fight position, electricity crackling in the air, "So help me god, you lay a hand on them and I will break you."
"…Maybe you aren't fake… you seem to have the true heart of a hero. Maybe I'll keep you alive…" Stain licks his lips, staring Izuku down with an intensity of a truly mad man. "But my judgment will pass tonight!" Stain dashes forward but he doesn't get very far. Powering up Full Cowling to 6% and feeling the stain on his bones and muscles, Izuku meets Stain halfway before shoving him into the alley wall and grabbing the mans tongue when its shots out to look at his shoulder. Izuku then punches up at the mans jaw, forcing him to bite his tongue hard. Hearing him choke was a sound Izuku doesn't want to remember. With his tongue being a primary aspect of his quirk, the bite doesn't go through like Izuku had morbidly hoped; but he does draw blood. Izuku watches in fascination as the blood pool sin his mouth and the mans muscles lock up. Izuku jumps back and lets the man slide down the wall; slumping as blood dribbles out his mouth and down his chin.
"Didn't think your quirk worked on yourself, Akaguro-san. No judgment of yours will pass." Izuku remarks, panting as he lets One for All rest beneath his muscles. "Shoto; help me tie him up and confiscate his weapons." Izuku crouches in front of Stain and starts riffling through the mans pockets and feeling for any weapons he might have. "I don't know how long he'll be down; considering he's still bleeding hopefully awhile." As Todoroki walks forward and helps Izuku, using ice to keep Stain still when they've finished searching him, Iida gathers his strength and stands, shuffling forward with a hand pressed to his shoulder to staunch any bleeding. Native manages to stand as well, grabbing the rope from his waist to help aid in tying Stain up.
Now that the fight has calmed, Izuku feels the adrenaline start to fade and the world seems to grey out a bit, the blood lose now catching up with him. Grabbing some bandages from the pouches at his waist; he begins clumsily wrapping his shoulder.
"Let me help, Deku was it?" Native say to Izuku's right, gently prying the roll from Izuku's hand. Izuku nods and slows his breathing; trying to keep the dizziness at bay.
"Don't try and redeem yourself now, fake!" Stain seethes, blood pooling out of his mouth.
"Shut up, Akaguro-san. You've already lost." Izuku snaps, glaring at the man. He grunts when Native tightens the bandage and ties it off. "Let's move to the mouth of the alley; hopefully the heroes you ask for Shoto are arriving…" Izuku mumbles, shaking his head and goes to take a step before Native stops him again.
"Let me carry you kid, you've lost enough blood as it is." Izuku concedes as Todoroki and Iida grab hold of Stain and Izuku gets on Natives back. The walk to the mouth of the alley is silent; the scuffle of their feet and the grumbles of stain the only sound. At the mouth, Izuku gets off Natives back and looks at Iida.
"Midoriya-kun…" Iida starts, arm hanging limp at his side and dried blood crusting the metal. "I am so sorry for the damage my decisions have costed you…" Iida's voice is wet with tears as he does a half bow; too injured to do a full.
"You're the class president, pull yourself together." Todoroki chimes in, steam coming off his form as he cools down. Iida stands and looks at them both with wide eyes.
"I will get mad at you later…" Izuku mumbles, sniffling as his throat tightens as he fights to not cry. "I will be relieved you're alive now…" Izuku turns away as he hears the jets of air from across the street. He turns in time to get a grated foot to the face.
"I told you to stay on the train, ya zygote!" Gran Torino scolds, landing on the floor with another jet of air. "What in the world have you been doing?" Izuku will later blame the blood lose but he just shuffles to the side and points a disappointing finger at Stain's captured form.
The next bit of the time is a blur for Izuku. He knows more heroes show up and call a police escort for Stain. Endeavor shows up as well and starts to say something when Izuku hears someone shout "Duck!" and Izuku refocuses. He goes to turn and duck when something large and clawed grabs at him and lifting up in the air.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki calls and all the heroes scramble to do something. Izuku struggles in what he now knows is a nomus grasp. He goes to charge a punch when a flash of red scales the building to his left and jumps onto the nomu. Looking up, he sees Stain stab a knife into beast exposed brain and licks the blood that the wound causes. The creature stills in air an plummets to the ground while Stain grabs Izuku's arm and cradles him as they fall, crashing onto the prone beast. Landing is rough and Izuku's shoulder is jostled as the wind is knocked out of him.
"Look at you all!" Stain screams, surprisingly setting Izuku down as gently as he could and staring the others down. "A child was snatched right in front of your eyes and you did nothing!" Stain stalks forward and the air seems to freeze. Everyone stands frozen at the pure malice radiating off the man. "You are all fakes! Frauds that need to be cut down!! A killer is more of a hero than any of you!" Blood is still pooling from Stain mouth, splattering onto the floor as he stalks forward. "This child is more of a hero than you!!" Stain points a finger towards Izuku, who is steadily bleeding through the bandage even more than before.
"Akaguro-san…" Izuku mumbles, struggling to his feet.
"This is why my purge is necessary! You are all fucking phonies in this god forsaken world of frauds who only care about themselves!" Stain then turns to look at Izuku, the blood lust in the air lessening as their eyes meet. "You are worthy of that title…" He turns back to everyone still frozen in fear. "The only people who shall ever be worth of the title hero! The only ones who could ever capture me! Is All Might! And Deku!" When Stain takes a breath to keep talking, Izuku steps forward with a wide swing. One for All charged to 5% and the punch connects with Stain, causing the man to fall into the street unconscious.
"Hypocrite…" Izuku mumbles, stumbling in place as he pants. He's feeling the strain of using One for All for so long and he's sore. Izuku looks to the group of people and rolls his eyes. "Someone bind him before he wakes up…" he takes a cautious step towards them before pausing, "… and someone catch me." Its the last thing he says before the world fades to black and he knows nothing.
Waking up in a hospital room was getting annoying at this point. But, he's used to the routine of hospital visits and overnight stays at this point. Once he's awake; a nurse comes by and gives him a check up. He's in the same room as Iida and Todoroki and whenever its just the three of them; they sit in silence.
Soon enough — after much awkward silence — Aizawa, Gran Torino, Manual, Detective Tsukauchi, and Chief Tsuragamae all walk in. Izuku stares them all down as they explain the situation. Stain was apprehended with injury's coinciding with the physical fight they hand. Bruises and hairline fractures from Izuku's powered up punches, burns and areas of frostbite from Todoroki's. Izuku manages to now shrink when all gazes shift to him.
"Before we talk what happens, one thing has been brought to our attention…" Chief Tsuragamae gruffs, hands stuff in his pocket while his ear twitches "… is that you seemed to know Stain." Izuku ignores the gazes of Todoroki and Iida. "You knew his name and how his quirk worked. More than my department knew and they were leading the investigation."
"Before I begin, does anyone have my hero suit?" Izuku calmly asks, hands folded in his lap.
"Can I ask how that relevant?" Detective Tsukauchi asks, head tilted at him.
"Inside a pouch is a notebook. It will explain pretty much everything? I think?" Izuku shrugs, taking a grounding breath. He doesn't elaborate further, just waits until a brown paper bag is handed to him. Grabbing his belt, he grabs the mini notebook he brought. He flips through it briefly before handing it to the detective. He takes it with a curious look before he opens it and starts scanning the pages, Tsuragamae reading over his shoulder. Izuku bites his lip as he watches their faces. Tsukauchi's head snaps up and stares at Izuku with a shocked face.
"You're the Anonymous Detective?" His voice raises in volume as everyone stares at Izuku.
"Yes sir." Izuku nods. "I had planned to drop off a larger notebook prior to internships but time escaped me. I had hoped for a day during too but…" Izuku shrugs, looking between all the adults. "I've been puzzling together Stain since I heard about Iida-kun's brother." Izuku purses his lips, stopping his train of thought. His brain to mouth filter is still a hollow sieve.
"This is with only a few weeks of research? How'd you get some of the information, a good chuck of this resembles sealed documents." Tsuragamae barks when he finishes speaking, staring at Izuku shocked.
"It's a mental puzzle, I pieced what I could from public records. A good chunk of that was from inferring on what information was released. Its easy to read between the lines…" Izuku picks at the tape holding his IV in while he waits for an answer. All this staring is starting to bother me… "I do hero analysis, I have since I was a kid. Analyzing villains isn't that much different; just some information is a big harder to find." Izuku heaves a heavy sigh while the adults stare at him, focusing on the hospital sheets and debating on crawling under them.
"…We were going to discuss the possibility of giving Endeavor-san the credit for taking Stain down as none of you have you licenses but this changes things…" Tsuragamae's eyes bore into Izuku as he speaks. Izuku stares back indifferent. "Give us a moment…" Both the detective and the chief leave the room; leaving the heroes and students in quiet.
This is gonna be a long night…
