Chapter 29: Chapter 27

Shigaraki POV(a/n: HA bet you weren't expecting this!) (e/n: no I really wasn't.)

"The three villains arrested and restrained during the Hosu City riots are all men with unknown addresses and identities. Based on their distinctive appearance and the presence of the two people NHA TV filmed by chance, there are those saying they are connected with the League of Villains that attacked UA high school last month," the male reporter concluded.

As he finished, the female reporter began, "The hero killer, Stain, has killed more people since the appearance of All Might than any other individual criminal. With his arrest, everyone around Japan can rest a little easier."

"The seriously wounded hero killer, Stain, is currently receiving treatment at a hospital under police guard. The police are awaiting the recovery of the victims to investigate further into the motive behind the crime."

"I am reporting live from Ekou Street in Hosu City. Last night, just after 8:00 pm, Hero Killer: Stain, was arrested by the new hero in training, first-year from UA high, who goes by the alias "Z" on this very street-"

Kurogiri switched off the small TV as I continued to read the newspaper, "It's all anyone's talking about," I crumpled up the newspaper disintegrating it, "Are the Nomu's just secondary?"

Letting the rest of the ash fall out of my hand, I slammed my fist onto the table, "Not only have they not forgotten, but we ended up being the side story, not to mention did a new unexpected and irritable variable come into play…"

"Hecate will definitely be a problem," Kurogiri said while polishing a glass.

I grumbled again. We haven't seen them in five years and this is how they reappear!? As a hero in training at UA of all places!

Suddenly, a voice ran through the TV screen, "Do not worry Tomura, this will be a setback, but now that we know where they are, we could use this to our advantage."

"Master…"

First POV

*time skip to next day*

This afternoon I was discharged, though I still had to keep my bandages on and take the medicine they gave me per the doctor's orders. Nezu and Aizy came by and gave me a new pair of clothes to wear which was just my usual style of a hoodie and some jeans.

I exited the bathroom and gave my dirty hospital clothes to one of the nurses and walked up to Nezu and Aizy.

Nezu smiled, "Alright, now that you're ready, we must hurry on back to UA!"

I tilted my head to the side, "Why are we in such a rush to head back?"

We started walking out of the hospital as a car pulled up at the front and a driver stepped out to open the door. We filed in and sat down in the backseat. Aizy was sitting on the left while Nezu was in the middle and I was on the right. Aizy sighed, "We're having a meeting with some of the other teachers about a certain someone knowing important information…"

My face immediately dropped, "Oh, r-right…"

"Don't worry, we aren't going to try to intimidate you or interrogate you," Nezu interjected, "we are simply going to ask questions. Detective Tsukauchi will be there too, just as an extra precaution you're telling the truth."

I grumbled. I don't want to talk about my past, at least not yet.

The drive to the campus was short but tense. The awkwardness just made everything worse than it already was. At some point, my mind went blank as we went into the building. I only regained my senses and composure when we were already outside of the door.

I heard mumbles behind the door and in that second, pure panic came over my senses. It felt like something was squeezing my chest and throat making it hard to breathe, my heart was beating fast and my head was pounding. I felt my hands shake slightly in the pouch of my hoodie. I gulped and took a step back. Yes, I know crazy right, I can murder pedophiles, rapists, and gang lords without a second thought, but having a confrontation with adults still scares the hell out of me. When I'm Zavage or fighting, I have confidence that I normally wouldn't have. I'm still human and unfortunately, all these years had only made me good at hiding my emotions, but it did nothing in terms of how it feels.

Nezu must've sensed my unease. I felt a small paw press against my leg and I looked down. He looked at me with a calm and happy smile, "As I said, we aren't going to reprimand you, your information really helped us, we just want to find out if you have more and how you know such information."

I took a deep breath while closing my eyes. After a second I reopened them and nodded for us to go in. Nezu nodded back and me and signally for Aizy to open the door. Once he did the room went quiet and everyone's head turned to me in unison. Fuck.

We walked in and I was seated next to dollar store sherlock. My nerves were still going haywire from the seriousness of everyone and all their eyes pointed on me. Detective Tsukauchi cleared his throat, "Alright, now shall we begin."

Aizawa POV

I watched as Alex shifted in their seat, they're clearly nervous and anxious. I mean, I don't blame them. Mic, Nemuri, and I were sitting in the seats directly across from Alex. Nezu suggested it since it would be less intimidating than to have any other hero sit here since we've spent the most time with them out of the others.

Tsukauchi cleared his throat, "Alright, now shall we begin."

Alex gulped, "Yes…"

"First question, how did you know what the Nomu's weak spot was?"

"Would you possibly believe me if I said common sense?" No.

"No, even with common sense of the weak spot being the brain since it is the such for most animals, however, based on the reports we got. You knew to do that in an instant and stayed calm when you relayed such information to the other heroes."

I saw that Alex glanced at me from the corner of their eye. Sorry, kid, but it's my duty to report events in full as a hero.

They sighed, "Yes, I knew their weak spot. It wasn't just common sense…"

"Then, what was it?" Just answer the question.

Alex looked down at their lap and answered with a slightly shaky voice, "I know because- because a long time ago, I was one of the ones who implemented and suggested the idea. The spot in their brain was made to be an absolute shutdown in case one of the Nomu's went rogue, berserk, or wouldn't follow commands and went on a rampage." …... What?

Gasps were heard in the room as it became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Are they telling the truth Tsukauchi?" Nezu asked.

The detective only nodded, "Does this mean you have a connection or had a connection to the League of Villains?"

"...Y-Yes, I had a connection with them. Though, several years ago I severed them."

"Does this mean you are withholding other important information about the league?"

"Yes, but I do not wish to share nor do I plan to…" Come on kid just spit it out so we can be done with this.

"I knew they were a spy, why else would they hide information!" Hawks exclaimed.

Nezu looked at him, "I would recommend you hold your tongue, we do not know the full circumstances of why they won't share nor do know the full extent of the past. Tsukauchi? When Alex said that they had severed all ties with the group, were they telling the truth?"

Tsukauchi nodded, "Yes, they weren't telling any lies with that statement."

"Pro hero Hawks, as you can see there isn't a possibility of them being a spy and even if there was one, it is narrowed down to a 0.3971% chance. Now, please calm down and let us continue."

Hawks kept his mouth shut, but he angrily leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.

Nezu smiled again, "Alex? Could you tell us why you are withholding information?"

Alex shifted again uncomfortably, "A-All I'll say is that I don't have the best past with them. Specifically, the true leader of the group. He's been trying to track me down for years, but he still hasn't succeeded."

Tsukauchi looked at them curiously, "And who is the true leader?"

"Only a few of you will know him by name. And his name is all I'm going to say…" Just who's bad side have you gotten on Alex?

Nezu leaned forward in his seat, his small body radiating curiosity and interest, "That is all we need."

"Fine," Alex looked up and looked at me, "his name is All for One, he was also the one who gave me my second quirk…"
