Rat God: Hisashi you need to make yourself scarce for the next few days.
As should Tomura as Midoriya Tomura.
Smaug: That bad?
Cat-feinated: What is going on?
Rat God: Gran Torino was able to put enough pieces of the puzzle together from his unplanned talk with Tomura earlier as he was leaving campus that he was formerly Shimura Tenko while Yagi was present.
As well as realizing that Tomura was responsible for Shimura Kotaro's death, even if he is hardly at fault for it.
Frankly it is nothing short of miraculous that they didn't put the last two pieces of the puzzle together to see who Hisashi actually was.
Tomura's stomach dropped out from under him. This was bad . It was one thing provoking All Might in his Villain persona, but the thought of losing his civilian one like this for something beyond his control-
He felt sick.
Game Over: Shit
Cat-feinated but Purple: Huh your name is suddenly oddly appropriate
Game Over: Not the time
His hands were now shaking too much to hold his phone properly. He needed to pack. While he probably had a bit of time since there was no way All Might already knew where his bar and therefore his home, it would not take him long to look it up.
"You okay there Tomura?"
Tomura clutched at his hoodie over his chest, not even registering that he had done it with his ungloved hand until it started to fall apart off of him. Magne, who had recently started picking up the odd shift at the bar after her last day job had fallen through on her again, had been with him helping work on the books so they could put their next orders in for ingredients and various types of alcohol for their drinks. Now she was next to him, rubbing his back as she gently pulled his phone away to type something.
Before he could even question what she was doing, a Warp Gate opened to reveal his Father pulling on a stupid hat. "Heya Tomura, what do you say to trying out the whole fishing trip thing? I remember that has always been a big father-son bonding activity. Just you and me on a hard to locate boat a hundred or so kilometers off the coast."
Tomura choked in a breath. "Sounds good. What about Eri? Who is going to watch her for the next few days?"
"Dabi and Naomasa have got her for the next few days. Come on, let's get you all packed up and head out to the boat I just bought."
---MiM-MiM-MiM---
Sorahiko regretted his mouth running away from him even before he had finished speaking. He should have waited until he was alone with Nedzu to confirm his thought. He was not even sure who Toshi was even pissed off at the most as he stormed out. It wasn't like his kid didn't have options. Whoever Midoriya Hisashi was for sleeping with the wife of Nana's kid, poor Tenko for killing Kotaro despite his hand being forced into it, or perhaps Mirai, who probably had known about all of this for years and (rightfully) hid it from Toshi.
All he knew for sure was that the anger was not directed at Nedzu given that had it been, Toshi would not be storming through the school like this. Unfortunately, before he could figure out what to say, Toshi had found his target.
Yamada gave a shocked Quirked yelp of surprise as he turned the corner and was immediately picked up by his speaker by Toshinori. "Where can I find Midoriya Hisashi?"
"For the love of God Toshinori, put the poor man down!"
Yamada kicked out very pointedly into Toshinori's injured side before falling to the ground coughing as Toshinori reflexively released. "What-" He coughed. "-is wrong with you?"
"I would ask the same thing if Nedzu hadn't sent me an alert that you were probably going to look for him or Tomura." Sorahiko hated to admit that Aizawa's voice suddenly behind them nearly made him jump. It had been a long time since someone had snuck up on him after all. Aizawa brushed past the pair of them to immediately check on his boyfriend. "You okay Zashi?"
Yamada gave a so-so gesture which earned Toshinori a pointed Quirked glare from Aizawa. One that was slightly pointless with Toshinori not in his powered up form. Toshinori however didn't seem to pay it much mind. "Where is your father? I just want to talk."
Aizawa snorted as he blinked away his Quirk. "Well you are out of luck for at least the next week. Hisashi apparently decided earlier this afternoon that it had been too long since he and Tomura went fishing together, just the two of them. They are probably already out on the water by now."
"Bullshit."
Aizawa shook his head. "If you want, I am sure I can drag out some of the photos that Dad has taken from previous trips. He likes to do shit like this for one on one bonding time with all of us. He was really into camping when I was younger but Tomura isn't big on the whole outdoors thing so fishing off one of Hisashi's stupid Yachts was how they finally compromised. I think the reason that Hisashi decided to do it basically out of the blue today was because he found a good deal on a new sailboat so wanted to take it out on an adventure."
Yamada gave enough cough but nodded. "Yeah. He let me and Oboro try and tag along on one of his and Shouta's camping trips once since neither of us had been."
Aizawa got a fond look on his face at that. "It was also how we discovered that Zashi here is too terrified of bugs to ever survive a full day in the great outdoors. We had to cut the trip short and instead camped out in our apartment living room."
Sorahiko was slightly relieved to see that Toshinori seemed to slowly be backing down at the clear verbal diversion. "Who is Oboro?"
Aizawa shrugged. "Kurogiri Oboro. He used to be a Hero student with the two of us in our class and is a good friend. He had to drop though after a close brush with death left him in no shape to stay in the course. He found a new calling eventually as a bar owner. He co-owns his place with Tomura."
Sorahiko winced. "That bad of an injury even with Chiyo on staff?"
Aizawa winced in return. "He got a building dropped on him. Frankly, he is lucky to even be alive. The only reason he even survived was because of his Quirk evolution making him less solid. It took him a while to figure out how to even function as an independent person after that. It takes a ton of focus on his part to pull his mist back into a solid body."
Toshinori crossed his arms. "As interesting as all this is, if your father really does insist on doing those sorts of one on one activities, what does he do with the rest of your siblings?"
Aizawa shrugged. "He and Izuku mostly just lock themselves in a room for a day and go through his late brother's vintage comics and movies to make fun of how PQ media handled the ideas of Quirks in fiction. Izuku's whole Loki costume idea comes from one of those movies actually I think. I am not sure if he and Dabi have found a good bonding activity that they both like yet but the one time they both went off for a day together, Dabi came home with his motorcycle so I could be wrong on that. Dad was one of the ones to teach Himiko coding to the point that she was able to try and hack into UA so I assume that they must have spent a few days last year while she was still Homeschooling after her adoption doing that. Eri is easier since Hisashi and Inko decided that she would do better doing homeschooling for now since she picked up the bad habit of cursing from the Bakugous and isn't very good at filtering herself yet. With how much grief the Bakogous got for Katsuki's mouth in elementary, they decided it wasn't worth the headache while Hisashi is currently working mostly from home."
Sorahiko scratched his head. "Wait, if your father is currently on a boat, who is looking after the kid?"
Aizawa shrugged. "Dabi most likely. He isn't generally all that busy during the day lately."
Toshinori frowned. "Because he is busy running around with the League of Villains at night?"
Aizawa snorted. "No, most nights he is with his boyfriend or their friends. I would not be surprised if the fact he is dating Hawks might be the reason he isn't getting invited along to League related things recently. That or the fact he is friends with both Mirko and Endeavor's daughter."
Sorahiko felt his brows shoot up at that last bit. "I thought your brother hated Endeavor? Why is he hanging out with one of his kids?"
Yamada chuckled weakly, still shooting Toshi nervous looks from his place behind Aizawa. "Dabi is close with all of Endeavor's kids. Besides Izuku, Shoto is closest with Dabi out of all of Shou's younger siblings. He introduced Dabi to his older brother and sister a few months back and they all apparently get on great. I am pretty sure the only reason Natsuo doesn't hang out with Dabi more often is because he is busy with college stuff."
Toshinori gave a huff of frustration. "I know what you are trying to do."
Aizawa gave Toshi a level look. "What? Distract you long enough for you to calm the fuck down before you really hurt someone? Yagi, before you go storming off to go try yelling at Mirai, I do think you should know the topic of Tomura's birth name wasn't something that ever really came up around him. That being said, Dad had no idea that his mother was already married when they dated briefly any more than he did with Dabi. The fact that she was, was the thing that caused them to break things off in the first place. While Hisashi is frankly a polyamorous walking bisexual disaster of a human being, he is rather big on the whole partners knowing what is going on and consenting thing."
Toshinori did falter slightly at that. "Mirai didn't know?"
Aizawa snorted. "Up until you put Izuku in the hospital, neither Mirai or I exactly were doing more than just exchanging the odd phone call with Inko and Hisashi and mailing gifts. Mirai and I literally met Tomura in person for the first time back at Izuku's last birthday party. Hitoshi technically met Tomura before we did since Tomura met up with the kids on Hitoshi's birthday a few weeks before that. Before that, the last time either of us saw Inko, Hisashi and Izuku in person was a few weeks after Zashi and I graduated from here at UA."
Toshinori looked slightly shocked at that. "But why? "
Aizawa gave Sorahiko a pointed look at that. "You want to break down the obvious for him?"
Sorahiko sighed and messaged his forehead. "Toshi, you realized that as your Sidekick, your enemies were Mirai's as well right? You know perfectly well why Nana did what she did with Kotaro. From the sounds of things, both of them were keeping their distances to keep their only family safe from being targeted. While we know now that All for One would probably have left them alone after the disaster of your last encounter with him, he was hardly the only concern."
Toshinori glared at Sorahiko. "Why are you so calm about all of this? Midoriya Tenko murdered Nana's family."
"Oh for the love of- Did you miss the most important part? Kotaro was abusing the poor kid! His Quirk, in the kid's own words, is "literally broken" and should not have manifested in the first place. Kotaro forced his Quirk out of him and paid the price when the kid's Quirk came out in self-defense. It wasn't the kid's fucking fault!"

Bi Panic: Good news!
Torino seems to be on Tomura's side in all of this and gave All Might a major verbal beat down.
You guys could probably come back and not have to worry.
Cat-feinated: Zashi is neglecting to mention that All Might also nearly broke his fucking neck by picking him up by his direction speaker.
Cat-feinated but Purple: !!!!
Cat-feinated: Recovery Girl is looking him over right now.
Hitsohi you should eat over at the mansion for dinner
We are going to be a bit late
Cat-feinated but Purple: is pops okay?
Bi Panic: I'll be all good to go here in a minute!
RG just wanted to run a quick x-ray to make sure she was all good to use her Quirk.
Cat-feinated: Zashi just wanted to text everyone before he was knocked out cold.
Not an Uber: Do you need a lift back home so Hizashi can sleep it off
Cat-feinated: If you don't mind.
Mother of Mischief: In case it wasn't obvious, Hisashi and Tomura are probably out of cell range right now.
Cannibal's Boyfriend: What's Izuku's excuse?
Normally, he would be all over this chat.
IveConnectedThem: He muttered something about vents before vanishing on the way back to the locker rooms.
If he has his phone on him, he is ignoring it.
"Something interesting then?"
Dabi looked up to his sister's questioning gaze. After he stopped by to crash her normal work lunch, he had ended up not being able to leave since she hadn't wanted him spooking more of her kids. While, yes, he could have left by now, he had decided that if he was sticking around this late anyways, he could give Fuyumi a ride back home as an apology (not that he really felt he needed to apologize for the scars that their sperm donor had given him).
"What?"
She gestured to the phone in his hand. "You seemed pretty interested in what is on your phone."
"Oh." He kicked his feet down off the table they had been propped up on. "Well, the fact that All Might nearly broke Hizashi's neck and that no one can get in touch with Dad, Tomura and Izuku was definitely interesting."
Her smile faltered.
Dabi sighed. "All Might found out Tomura's birth name and reacted about how we were expecting him too. Dad took Tomura out on his new boat for a fishing trip after Nedzu sent out a red alert in the Midoriya family chat. Izuku being missing is unrelated according to Shoto."
Fuyumi frowned. "Family chat? Why am I not in it?"
Dabi gave her an amused look. "Ah, so you admit you are one of us after all."
She flushed and whacked him lightly over the head. "You're an asshole Touya. Be serious."
Dabi huffed at the use of his dead name but allowed it to slide for now. "You'll have to ask Mirai, Dad or Nedzu. They are the ones with the power to add and remove people from the chat."
She rolled her eyes but seemed to accept it. "I think I will." She paused as she was finishing packing up. "Wait, you said that All Might nearly broke Hizashi's neck?"
Dabi grimaced slightly and nodded. "He's okay now but All Might apparently picked him up rather suddenly by his direction speaker."
Fuyumi's frown deepened. "Is it just me or has All Might gotten more… violent in how he reacts to things lately?"
Dabi shook his head. "It isn't just you. He definitely is. Dad thinks he is probably only going to get worse for a while which is why Tomura and I have been keeping Himiko as far away from League activities as we can for now. Dad thinks that as he gets weaker, he is probably going to lash out more and more when it comes to himself because of how much Dad seems to scare the guy. Add to that the fact that All Might has forgotten just how fragile normal people are apparently with the fact he is no longer pulling his punches as he gets weaker, and it is a bad combo."
Fuyumi bit her lip. "Dabi, are you and Tomura sure that your plans for the USJ are still a good idea?"
Dabi winced as shook his head. "I'm not honestly but I don't think Tomura is going to back down and like hell am I not going too to watch his back. Theoretically, it should be all okay. Shouta and Nedzu gave their okays about the 'unplanned attack' on the students and we are doing it with 1-A specifically because of the fact that a little over a fourth of the class already knows it is coming so can look after their classmates to keep them from hurting themselves from a potential panic, not that either Shouta or Izuku think the other members of the class would."
"What about the other teachers?"
Dabi shrugged. "Nedzu didn't want to warn them in advance. This is more to test the teacher's rapid response to a Villain attack than anything."
"This just feels like a bad idea. Someone is bound to get hurt."
Dabi sighed and carded his hand back through his hair. "Yeah. I know. It is the reason why Dad will be watching from Nedzu's office with Eri. If there is an actual emergency, he will be able to rush in to help."
---MiM-MiM-MiM---
Izuku waited until All Might had completely vanished from the sight of Gran Torino before pulling open the vent and dropping down next to him. "I thought he would never leave."
Gran Torino did not jump but his head snapped around fast enough for Izuku to confirm the fact that he had startled the older Hero. "Where did you just come from kid?"
Izuku pointed up to the vent. "Nedzu mentioned earlier to me that the vents were big enough to move through here on campus."
Gran Torino snorted and gave Izuku a level look. "As interesting to know as that is, I get the impression that the vents were not what you wanted to talk about."
Izuku shook his head. "No, I wanted to give you a heads-up about Thursday. The League are planning on crashing the off-campus training session at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint with Nedzu's permission to test on-campus staff response times to an attack by Villains on the location. Originally, it was just going to be Dabi but the rest of the League heard about it and wanted to tag along so there are probably going to be like at least six people turning up. Maybe more if Hawks decides he wants to tag along."
Gran Torino gave Izuku an odd look. "I was under the impression that your brother Dabi was going to be the one watching your baby sister since your father is now conveniently out of town with your brother Tomura."
Izuku snorted. "Well, he probably will be. I think Dabi will probably just swing by the campus first to drop her off with Nedzu or 'Giri will look after her for the afternoon."
"Uh-huh."
Izuku rolled his eyes. "The fact that Nedzu and Dad are friends has come up, right? Of course the moment he could he sent Dad a warning to get Tomura someplace safe." He grimaced as he gestured in the direction that Hizashi and Shouta had gone off earlier. "You saw how Yagi treated someone with only a tangential connection to the Shimura mess earlier. Can you blame Dad and Tomura for deciding to put a few kilometers of water between them and All Might as a reaction?"
"It is rather convenient that they could get out on the water that fast though."
Izuku huffed. "Dad asked 'Giri to Warp them out to his new boat."
"Warp? Wait, this 'Giri is the Kurogiri that Aizawa and Yamada were talking about right?"
Izuku smiled at that. "Yeah, that's him. His Quirk evolution turned his basic Cloud Quirk into a warping Quirk at the cost of a serious full-body mutation. His Quirk is called Warp Gate now. And it is perfectly legal for him to use it to create Warp Gates between two private properties with permission, even without him having a Quirk Licence."
"He's still close to your family then I take it?"
Izuku nodded. "He wouldn't be co-running a bar with Tomura if he wasn't."
---MiM-MiM-MiM---
Sorahiko bit his lip as one after another puzzle pieces clicked into place. "Is he how the League got into that Yakuza hideout before the Hero group?"
The boy tensed momentarily before he seemed to light up in pure delight. "Yep. You figured it all out then?"
Sorahiko rubbed his face. "Only because Nedzu is apparently a pisspoor liar when directly confronted about a fact. Tomura from the League and your brother Tomura are both one in the same right?"
"Yep!" Midoriya practically fucking chirped.
Fuck.
"Which means that given Shigaraki Tomura is All for One's son, that means that your father is All for One."
The kid gave Sorahiko his shit-eating grin that now that he had figured out the connection he realized was the same as fucking All for One's. "One of them is yes."
Sorahiko's stomach dropped. "You're telling me that Toshinori literally picked All for One's brother-in-law for his Sidekick."
The boy just shrugged. "Technically, it was more Uncle Mirai walked his sister down the aisle to marry his boss's arch nemesis. Uncle Mirai apparently had a bit of an existential crisis after he realized that fact about a year ago. Of course, I think Uncle Shouta's was probably worse when he found out around that same time because Dad is just as much his Dad as mine. Hell, I had one too which is how Naomasa found out that Dad was All for One before they did since he and Hitsohi were with me when I realized my Dad was actually technically a Villain."
"Technically a Villain? Kid, he has murdered people. Good people."
"Yeah and so has my sister Himiko. Hell, so has All Might. Actually, I think All Might might have a higher body count because Himiko sure does. Dad has only personally killed 28 people for all his blustering. Two of which were the Yakuza that nearly killed me, Shouta and Mirai. Those two make up nearly half of the people in the past century. Outside of them and the previous One for All holders who were picking fights with him, he has only killed one other person who was another Villain he considered more dangerous than himself who was all in on human experimentation. Most of the people he has killed were back during the Quirk Wars largely in self-defense or in the defense of others."
"Kid if that is what he told you, he is lying to you. Toshinori and I traced a hell of a lot more bodies back to him before he went to ground. Bodies with clearly different Quirks than they used to have."
"No, you were tracing the other guy that Dad took care of. Doctor Garaki Kyudai had a longevity Quirk and an obsession with how Dad's Quirk worked and wanted to be able to recreate it for himself. You were tracking his experiments. Do you honestly think Naomasa would not have told all of us if he was lying about that? Or that Nedzu would be helping cover for Dad if Dad was actually a danger to anyone? The only reason Dad is still considered a Villain is because of the stupid One for All thing and because if he completely retired from it, it would be a bloodbath as a new top Villain tried to take his place."
Sorahiko felt his stomach flip. "Which is why the whole League of Villains thing happened in the first place with your brother. All for One wanted out but couldn't leave unless he had a clear successor to take his place."
Midoriya nodded. "That and it was an idea to help Tomura make more friends. He is sort of antisocial normally."
"Why are you admitting all of this to me anyways?"
That earned another one of those grins. "Because you aren't going to tell anyone."
Sorahiko tensed. "You seem awfully confident in that."
The boy cocked his head slightly. "Well, why wouldn't I be? Who would you even tell? You don't want to tell All Might since you know if he knew, he would just force my Dad to hurt him again to get him to leave him alone and the only other people who could stop Dad from doing something he wants to already know."
Sorahiko felt his mouth dry up. Shit. "The Kirishima kid already knows?"
Midoriya nodded. "Eijiro has known since before All Might gave him One for All. He's seen Dad go all out in a fight and knows fully well that Dad was pulling his punches in his fight with All Might a few months ago. I think the fact he has seen Dad completely fold around both Mom and Naomasa has convinced him that he figured out that Dad was sort of a nonissue at this point. After all, if an issue came up where he would have to actually fight him, he basically has a list of people on speed dial to glare disappointedly at Dad into submission, myself included."
Okay, that completely threw Sorahiko. "Wait, are you telling me that All for One is a complete simp for your mother and Tsukauchi?"
The boy made a face. "Ugh, please don't say it like that but yes. Before you ask, Dadtective is just as confused about the fact Dad is like that with him as you probably are, even with the whole couple months where they accidentally had a mental connection thanks to a Quirk accident they had with one another."
Sorahiko gave a disbelieving look to the kid. "A Quirk accident? You sure about that?"
Midoriya snorted. "Well, the connection forming was definitely unplanned. It was a Quirk resonance thing between Dadtective's Quirk and one that Dad tried to use on him to make up for the fact he was blind at the time. It took Naomasa needing to be hospitalized for them to let Hitoshi try and pull their minds apart again. As weird as it is, they both clearly really enjoyed the connection after they got over the shock of it. I think Dad is secretly trying to find a way to reestablish the connection in a safer way from what I have seen on his laptop."
