Kai nodded.
'Uh... Kai are you... Sure?'
'She's always like this.' Terugo ordered for Poltergeist to carry him and nodded politely, 'Sorry to involve you in our family drama heroes.'
Poltergeist walked over to him with Kai in his arms, the child holding onto his shirt, 'He's... So cold.' Kai screwed his eyes shut and hid in the jacket Poltergeist was wearing, knowing it'd be warmer if he did.
'I'm sure you have better things you need to be doing.' They turned and started walking away.
Phantom Arrow was about to go after them but Cipher stopped him, 'What are you, blind?'
Terugo froze. 'Wait... He- He isn't blind?'
'Of course not.' Takahashi whispered back, 'I saw Poltergeist put that knife back in his pocket... But-'
'No buts. Come on.' She ordered. Phantom Arrow took one last look at the three walking away into the darkness before following Cipher into the air.
'If he isn't blind, then why couldn't I use Mindjack?'

The heroes landed in front of Endeavor, who jumped back in surprise. 'Done already?'
'No... We saw him.' Cipher said.
'And you got out of there immediately right?' Endeavor asked, but Takahashi and Tanami didn't answer. 'And you got out of there immediately, right?' He asked again.
'Well... We kinda sorta, had like a ten-minute conversation with him.' Cipher chuckled nervously. 'Whoops?'
'Whoops?! You had a ten-minute conversation with one of the most wanted criminals in Tokyo, who we know nothing about, meaning he now knows what you look like, and all you have to say is WHOOPS?!'
'Well, we found out some things! We know more about him now! Like his quirk! We know his quirk now, and that ghostly guy's name! And we also know that he has a child.' Shinjuku explained, trying to calm Endeavor down.
'Oh well, that makes everything okay then.' He smiled.
'Wait really?'
'NO- Wait did you say he has a child?' He asked, relaxing his body more, allowing the flames to die down.
Takahashi looked down shamefully. 'Yes, they seemed so scared of him. But we had to let them go back. Or else he would've killed us, and we wouldn't be able to come back and report to you. They were covered in bandages, and he was trembling to his skeleton. But he went back to them to save our lives.' He clenched his fists, shaking with rage, 'If I had just gotten them away, even if I had to use force. At least they'd be safe...'
Endeavor stared for a bit before sighing. 'No, you and Yusei did the right thing. If you had tried to take him by force, that ghostly guy- What was his name?'
'Poltergeist. Endeavor-San.' Cipher stood up straighter, regaining some of her energy.
'Poltergeist would have killed you both. I've seen what that monster can do with my own eyes. Granted it was a videotape but still. He killed four pro heroes in less than a minute. He nearly killed All Might. He even killed Stratosphere and she could Permeate. Neither of you would've stood a chance against him.'
'The thing is,' Phantom Arrow looked up at Endeavor, 'When I looked at him, I couldn't see his quirk. And his vitals showed he was dead. No heartbeat, no intake of air, no blood sugar, no body heat, nothing. He should be dead... But somehow he isn't. And... I didn't see that he had a quirk.'
'Maybe he is.' Cipher muttered. 'Dead, I mean. If this guy is as dangerous as people say, who's to say he can't bring back the dead? Especially since we don't know much about him.'
'Because that's not his quirk.'
'But Poltergeist can't be his only minion right?' She shrugged, trying to look calm even if she wasn't. 'He has to have more, maybe someone has a power like that. We don't know anything about this guy but his name, quirk, and his daughter.'
'Wait, why are you referring to the child as female and you as gender neutral?' He asked.
'Well, Terugo-'
'Who?'
'The kid's father. Anyway, Terugo said that Kai wanted to be a girl. So he treated her like one. Phantom doesn't trust him but it's also possible that he's telling the truth at least about her preferred pronouns. So he's using They/Them, and I'm using She/Her.'
'I've never heard of a child caring what they're referred to as. Maybe he is lying as Takahashi says, but yes it is still possible he's telling the truth.' Endeavor sighed, 'You said something about his quirk.'
'Oh right, he can take control of people's minds if he locks eyes with them, under five conditions he can do it whenever. You only need to fit one. His quirk has no range. And... Now, this isn't certain so don't take it too seriously-'
'Get on with it Shinjuku.'
'He may be aligned with All for One because he also has a telepathy quirk!' He said quickly and let out a breath.
'He what?'
'He may be aligned with All for One but again this is not at all confirmed and I have no idea if he is or not but he has a second quirk.' He seemed to shrink under Todoroki's gaze.
The man just sighed, however. 'And those conditions are?'
'Uh,' He got out his phone, 'I wrote them down on the way here and checked the ones I knew didn't fit.' He handed it to Endeavor.

'We only know they don't fit one? We're not even sure about the sex one?'
'As Cipher and you have emphasized multiple times, we don't know much about the guy, and with his idea of fun,' Takahashi covered his mouth, 'I wouldn't put it past him to rape a child. Even if they're only nine.'
'She's nine, how do you know that?!' Cipher yelled.
'You don't remember upgrading the contacts you made? I can see hobbies, interests, ages, everything.' He said, closing his eyes, still feeling nauseous from the idea in his head, the possibility Kai may have been raped.
Cipher took a breath, shivering. 'Well, I think we should talk to Yumi.
