THE SINS OF THE FATHER (BnHA Dad for One AU)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: Help

8 AM

Izuku waved bye to his brother. He watched the car drove away before facing the building. He took a deep breath.

Second day of internships.

Izuku was a little nervous yesterday. He couldn't help but be slightly intimidated by Gang Orca's appearance, but he's actually really nice. A little rough but nice. The sidekicks were nice to him too and he got to try out the cement guns that they have.

Before he left yesterday, Gang Orca gave him a talk about staying calm and controlling his rage. The Pro Hero's words rung through Izuku's head since then.

"When a hero is on a mission, it is important to always keep a cool head. A hero needs to know when to set aside their emotions especially when they lead to poor judgment. And poor judgment can result to more people getting hurt."

"Hosu?"

Gang Orca's words made Izuku snap out of his thoughts.

"Yes. Ingenium has asked my agency to lend a second opinion on his strategy against the Hero Killer." Gang Orca answered.

"And I would like to you to accompany me so that you can see how different agencies may cooperate when it comes to a case, since you are here to learn what a Pro Hero does." He added.

Izuku couldn't help his smile in, "I'm truly grateful for this honor, sir." Izuku bowed. Gang Orca grinned at the boy's enthusiasm. Although, he probably looked even more intimidating with that smile.

9 AM

On their way to Ingenium's agency at Hosu, Kugo noted that the boy with him was deep in his thoughts. When Kugo took a look at Izuku's school records, he found that he came up second at UA's Recommendations Exam, only becoming first after a student backed out. Despite not looking like it, Kugo can tell that this boy is bright.

Izuku's gaze was at the streets that they were passing but his attention couldn't be anywhere near there. He couldn't help but think about the Hero Killer.

Stain is a prolific fighter, there's no doubt about that, having crippled 23 Pro Heroes and killing 17. The question is, was all that due to his fighting abilities alone or was it also due to his Quirk? What is his Quirk anyway? All the reports Izuku read mentioned that Stain attacked first, quickly incapacitating his victims.

Hm? Incapacitating? Wait, what if...?

"Gang Orca, do you think Stain's Quirk is some kind of paralysis Quirk?" Izuku asked.

Gang Orca was a little taken back by the suddenness of the boy's question, from just mumbling a second ago.

"Hm? Yes. Ingenium's team suspects that Stain might have some kind of paralysis Quirk, which would explain how swiftly he was able to defeat all those Pro Heroes." Kugo answered.

"But according to the reports, Stain attacks first, right?"

Kugo was confused by the boy, "Yes?"

"Then that would mean his Quirk needs some kind of physical contact to activate, right?"

Kugo's mutant eyes widened.

"I suppose so."

Then the boy's phone rang. Izuku took the phone out of his pocket and answered, "Hey, Tenko."

"Hey, Izuku. I'm sorry but I have to leave now. Dad and I thought that I still have one more day, but it would seem that we didn't have enough time. I'm sorry."
