"This'll be strange"
Izuku followed Dabi onto the main streets of the kingdom, he finally got an idea.
"I'll pretend to spot him first so that he notices me."

He sped up to a nerby fountain and made himself visible. Sirius remained on his shoulder invisible.
He then very obviously turned to face Dabi and locked eyes with him.

"No way...??? I found him already??"

Dabi quickly approached, surprising Izuku.
"Hey...!"
Dabi whisper shouted.

"If you dare attempt to report I'm here I'll cut your tongue off"
Izuku threatened as he decided to play off natural expected reactions.

"No- I'm not going too.
Tch, don't you remember me?"

"Well his acting skills sure have gotten better since I last remember them"
Izuku commented internally.
"Who are you for me to remember?"

"Toya...
Doesn't the name ring a bell?"

"As in the first son of the royal dukal household?
He was declared dead, there's no way you're him"

"Aren't you declared dead as of right now too...
Does that mean you aren't crown prince Izuku?"

"Prove it. Prove you're Toya"

"Shoto got his scar from mother."

"...yeah not anyone would know that...

But if you're Toya... What're you doing here...? Why didn't you return to the empire?"

"I'll explain, let's just move locations...
There are too many guards."

"Fine with me."
Izuku used his telekinesis, went invisible with dabi, and dragged him to the forest of the beasts.

"Taking him here is subtly revealing that the sword is bonded with me.
Well, if he's noticed the sword at least."
Izuku grinned as he dropped him on the forest floor and gracefully landed by a tree.

"Why'd you take us to the forest of the beasts...???"
Dabi said panicked as izuku pulled down his cloak.

"No one from the kingdom or empire dares to come in so it's a nice hideout.
Shouldn't you of all people know?"

"...how far in are we?? And how did we go so fast...-?
Wait...
You have a quirk now..!"
Dabi said surprised.

"We're around 5-7 miles in.
We flew here with telekinesis.
And yes I have a quirk, obviously.
How else would I be avoiding the kingdom knights??"

"But-
You were never able to use it. Did you inherit the empress's quirk?"

"Yep"
Izuku fibbed, not wanting to reveal much information about his quirk just yet.
"Now explain.
Why are you in the kingdom...?"

"...right...

Well.

I was kidnapped by Tomura Shigaraki.
He forcefully brought me here to take information on my father.
I couldn't escape, after all the forest is impossible to get through without almost dying... Especially alone.

So, like you, I escaped the castle.
I've been living difficultly out on the streets avoiding the attention of guards.
My appearance has changed quite a lot since then so there isn't much stress when it comes to it."

"Well he's on script.
How much longer are you planning to drag this out before revealing that if he doesn't cooperate with you that you'll kill him?"
