Chapter 101 - The Son and The Father

__________POV Narration__________

While Eri and Allan were walking around the hospital, Rewinding patients to their healthy states. The police were interrogating one of the very few villains that had little injuries.

A man with the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that cover much of his visible body. He was currently wearing standard prison garb and special restricting handcuffs especially made for people with fire quirks.

That person is obviously Dabi, Endeavor's 'deceased son. Getting captured was a tragedy for the villain. He hadn't even gotten to kill all that many people, a few hundred was nothing after all. And he hadn't even gotten to fighting that person.

But Toya Todoroki was not always a bloodthirsty and psychotic villain. He was once a bright child that even inherited his father's obsession with surpassing All Might and becoming number 1.

Or, you could say that it was ingrained into him from a young age. Regardless, it had become his dream.

But, after being told it was impossible by the very man that dragged him down that path. The reason for that was his quirk, or rather his body being too weak to high temperatures.

He was depressed, to say the least. He had burned himself repeatedly to try and achieve his dream. But it was all for nothing in the end.

The last drop in the bucket was his younger brother Shoto awakening his quirk.

The small Shoto immediately replaced Toya in his father's eyes, Endeavor had stopped paying attention to him in any form or way. Or, at least none that mattered to the now young teen.

All of his depression and sadness had turned into hate, seemingly overnight. He detested the very existence of the man that had rejected him.

The obsession and actions of his father are what led to his mental breakdown and subsequent fall into villainy.

The stitched villain started taking pleasure in the suffering of others, he enjoyed seeing people burn to ashes whilst scream in pain. He was as sadistic as he was hateful.

Even if he mostly kept a cool facade, his thought is always those of a madman driven by revenge.

Even now, his only regret is not getting to kill Endeavor with his own hands.

He was looking around annoyed and stressed. The detective in front of him was not really something he was paying attention to.

Right now, the only thought in his mind was 'How to escape?'. Slowly, he started to realize something.

Even if he couldn't escape... He could still cause as much damage as possible to Endeavor. If he told the detective of his story, it wouldn't really become public knowledge instantly.

But, he could ask for a press conference. He can say something along the lines of. 'I will publically speak about the intentions of the group that attacked UA.'

The detective could only reluctantly accept. As these were the first words to come out of the villain's mouth during the entire interrogation.

Thankfully for Dabi, they didn't have anyone in the force that could read minds. Or at least no one like that was present.

The best detectives in the country were currently interrogating the injured All for One, inside the new walls of Tartaros.

Dabi was now standing in front of a crowd of reporters. Fully restrained and strapped to a wheeled chair. There was a screen between him and the reporters. Heroes were also present, just in case.

When Dabi started talking everyone thought they were here to find out the reasons that the army of villains had to attack the most prestigious hero highschool.

But, when the villain started talking about his past with the Number 3 hero. The mood took a turn for the worse.

People didn't believe it, obviously. But there were many ways to prove that the story was genuine.

Dabi was ok with that. He wasn't expecting people to take his words at face value.

Endeavor on the other hand... He was distraught, to say the least. Seeing his deceased son recount his tragic backstory live was not a good feeling.

Enji could somewhat recognize the person on stage. His own mistakes staring him in the eyes with a hateful visage. It reminded him of a loss he had thought he had managed to get over.

The one in front of the reporters, strapped in a chair and surrounded by law enforcement, was his son.

And, after a few days of investigation, done by a few private agents. The truth was also revealed to the reporters the one that spoke to them was actually Toya Todoroki, the son of Enji Todoroki.

Everything matched, from quirk, natural hair colour, to sharing some genetical traits from the Todoroki family.

The evidence was all there. Now, all that was left was to report on the situation. They still had no way to know whether Toya's words were truthful.

But just the fact that the son of the former Nr.2 hero became a villain was enough to stir up some controversy.

And people didn't react kindly to the news. Endeavor already had many people hating on his methods. Now, people were prying into his personal life and dragging out details about his wife, the arranged marriage, the way he treated his children.

All of that publicity forced the authorities to act and launch a formal investigation into this matter. Child abuse was a crime after all.

Enji was stressed beyond belief. He didn't know what to do anymore. His agency couldn't put out any fires, as a lot of scrutiny was directed to everyone that ever worked with him.

He never thought he would see one of his sons become villains. The rest of his family could only watch as Enji became more and more depressed as the days passed.

Even Shoto, a person that hated his father to the core started pitying him. But, what most of them were concentrated on, was trying to speak with their long lost brother.

Enji knew his career as a hero was coming to an end. He knew there was no way for him to get out of this situation. The people were too fixated on this incident to remember anything good that he had ever done.

What he wasn't expecting was his wife, Rei Todoroki, to visit their house after hearing about the situation. His children Shoto, Fuyumi and Natsuo had already reconnected with their mother.

Enji had always visited his wife, trying to fix things with her. But it was too little too late. No matter how many flowers and apologies he gave her, she wasn't going to forgive him.

And he had accepted that, it had made him try to treat his offsprings differently. It seems that his efforts didn't go completely noticed. Although no one forgave him, he was content to see them together once more.

Now, all that was missing was Toya... It seems that they would need to try and solve this issue as a family.
