It was a week after Izuku had gone missing and Shouta had officially lost his last fuck. Some would say that he lost his last fuck years ago, or perhaps even on the day he was born, but no, it seemed the constant worry and stress of having to search for his missing problem godson had unearth the few that he hadn't known he had left.

It started with searching Izuku's room. Both he and Hizashi had known that Izuku hadn't particularly liked his middle school, that he didn't have many friends, so it was reasonable to check to see if Izuku had ran away. None of his clothes seemed to be missing though, except for the uniform he was wearing last. But, all of the Hero Analysis journals the kid had written over the years were missing, which would suggest that Izuku had ran away.

Until Inko had mentioned that they had been there the last time she cleaned his room, the day Izuku had gone missing.

The CCTV cameras had caught Izuku being attacked by a villain in a tunnel near his house, but All Might had saved him, from what little the two heroes could see from the poor angle. And then there was Izuku running out to save one Bakugou Katsuki from the same villain, who had somehow escaped from All Might. When interrogated, All Might had been mum on the details, but had looked probably shocked that Izuku had gone missing shortly after the rescue. It was unfortunate that All Might couldn't tell them anything, since he was likely the last one to see Izuku before he went missing, but All Might promised to join in the search too.

Finally, they were at Aldera Middle School, watching the CCTV cameras from the campus. Shouta had had to glare down the sweating pig of a principal, who had tried to talk them out of viewing the tapes, saying "the boy probably just ran away… is he really a reason to cause such a fuss?" Hizashi hadn't been allowed to speak, too afraid he'd use his quirk on accident, so Shouta was the one to accuse the principal of trying to obstruct justice.

However, after watching dozens of hours of his godson being beaten, verbally harassed, humiliated, on camera, he planned to burn the school to the ground, and Hizashi would likely be right behind him if the low hum of his quirk was proof. Only one good thing came of the horrible experience. In most instances of abuse, the instigator was usually Bakugou Katsuki. The same boy Izuku saved from a villain. The same boy, if Hizashi's nervous mutterings were correct, who used to be Izuku's best friend.

Bakugou was a person of interest, if not their prime suspect for Izuku's disappearance, and, as Shouta watched Bakugou blast Izuku with his quirk, he could only hope it was just disappearance, and not something worse.
