MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

"Izuku, can you come to the front room? There's someone here who wants to talk to us!"

Izuku locked his laptop and put it away before leaving his bedroom, "What is it Mom? Who..."

Detective Tsukauchi stood in the entryway, and Izuku froze. What was the detective tasked with finding him doing in his house? Did he suspect Izuku? Was he here to arrest him? Izuku glanced behind Tsukauchi. If he was, then why didn't he bring backup? Were they waiting outside? Izuku's mind kept running through possibilities and escape plans as Inko took Tsukauchi's coat and led him to the couch.

Tsukauchi: I'm literally right there and I'm probably only there because of Dragon's murder!

All Might: Tsukauchi calm down...

Tsukauchi: I can't calm down! Not when I'm so close to catching him!

"Would you like some tea, Detective?" Inko asked.

Tsukauchi shook his head, "Not today, Mrs. Midoriya, I don't want to put this off."

"So, if you don't mind me asking," Izuku eyed Tsukauchi carefully, "what's a detective doing in our house?"

Inko: Because of that world's version of Hisashi.

Tsukauchi frowned softly, "There's really no easy way to say this, but I have some bad news." He looked at Inko. "Your husband, Hisashi Midoriya, was murdered sometime yesterday afternoon. I am so sorry for your loss."

Inko gasped and tears started streaming down her face, "But-but I thought... he can't be... he was only in Japan for a few days for business... we were going to be a family again... who would?"

Mitsuki: Izuku...

Tsukauchi looked confused, "Why do you say he was only in Japan for a few days?"

"Hisashi, he-he worked in America, we haven't even seen him for years because his company wouldn't give him any time off. He came in for a few days to- to surprise us..." Izuku rubbed his mother's back as she started sobbing.

Shoji: Oh she's going to find out he's Dragon isn't she?

Kendo: Wait and then if she finds out about Midoriya being Mastermind too... oh poor Mrs. Midoriya...

"Oh... um, I'm sorry to have to tell you this," Tsukauchi said, "but Hisashi Midoriya was the villain known as Dragon and the leader of a gang known as the Dragon's Horde. There is no record of him even leaving the country in the past decade, much less working abroad. I have to tell you this because we believe that it may have been one of his enemies in the underworld who killed him. Was he acting suspiciously at all yesterday?"

Izuku scoffed, "Just him showing up was suspicious, considering he hasn't visited in ten years."

"Izuku!" Inko scolded, "He was your father! Have some respect."

Shigaraki: His father who went to get the milk.

"Well, I still need to ask you both a few questions, if possible, to help us find his killer. What time did you last see Hisashi yesterday?"

"He and Izuku left to go on a walk right after lunch." Inko said softly. "They were supposed to be home in time for dinner and Izuku was on time, but Hisashi..." She cut herself off with a sob and Tsukauchi turned to Izuku.

"So you went on a walk after lunch?"

Toga: Uh oh so Mind-chan's going to have to work around his lie detection quirk...

Tsukauchi: Please let me just finally catch him...

Izuku nodded as he reviewed what he knew about Tsukauchi's quirk, Lie Detector. It allowed him to know if what people were saying was the truth or a lie but as long as what Izuku said was technically true, the quirk shouldn't register falsehoods. He could work with that.
