MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 2

Iida(wincing): Right... Hosu...

"Thank you for allowing us to use your resources, Chief Tsuragamae." Nezu said politely as they were led back into a room filled with more monitors than Izuku had ever seen outside of TV stores. Nezu had said that the police normally had access to most cameras in a city and Nezu could help him hack into any others they needed, so this would be a good middle step for Izuku, since three days obviously wasn't enough time to become a master hacker. What Nezu hadn't been clear about, though, was why they were in Hosu rather than Musutafu. Izuku had figured he might as well check on Iida as long as he was here, but so far he hadn't responded to any of his texts.

Todoroki: Well if you're here we might avoid another Cheat Code situation.

Iida: Yes... I would rather not lose any more limbs...

Midoriya: I just hope I can help without One for All...

All Might: Young Midoriya of course you can. You are not just your quirk after all.

Midoriya: Yeah... thanks All Might.

The police chief made sure they were settled before letting himself out, "It's our pleasure. You passed our bullpen on the way in, so just let any of the officers know if you need any help."

Nezu nodded and the chief left them alone. Izuku's curiosity was going crazy because he couldn't decide whether he was more interested in all the technology or in the reason they'd come to Hosu in the first place. The latter eventually won out.

"What are we doing here?" Izuku asked. "Wouldn't it have been easier to practice in Tsukauchi's department?"

Tsukauchi: But you're not just practicing.

"Ah, Midoriya," Nezu smiled, "surely you've noticed by now that none of our practice exercises are simply practice! If I'm going to teach you a useful skill such as tracking and espionage, I'm going to give you a real life villain to track."

Izuku's eyes widened, "Oh..."

Endeavor: Me.

"So, since we need more information for our case against Endeavor," Nezu continued, "let's see if you can find him on the cameras."

Izuku dutifully sat down and started flicking through the camera feeds, focusing on places heroes would frequent, "What makes you think Endeavor is in Hosu today?"

"Hmm," Nezu hummed thoughtfully, "what do you think? What would bring the number two hero to Hosu?"

Dabi: The hero killer.

Izuku continued looking at the cameras as he ran through what he knew of Endeavor, "Well, Hosu isn't that populated, so it doesn't make sense for him to come here if he's hoping to improve public opinion. It also doesn't have a high crime rate, so he isn't hoping to increase his numbers. The only thing interesting that happened here recently is... oh! He's hoping to catch the hero killer."

"Exactly," Nezu said. "So how does that change how we search for him?"

Kaminari(blinking): It does?

Shoji: Mm-hm.

"Well, I suppose it depends on if we believe that he knows what he's looking for." Izuku said. "I would look for the hero killer in secluded alleys, so if Endeavor is smart, that's where he'll be, but he also tends not to listen to analysts, so there's also a chance he's simply planning on his innate skill as a hero to find him."

Todoroki: Both are likely.

"Both are possibilities." Nezu acknowledged. "But even if he doesn't listen to analysts, he would not have gotten as far as he has if he wasn't intelligent."
