Chapter 9
Someone will be asking questions to you, his name is Tsukauchi Naomasa, he's a detective. You can't lie to him.
Can't?
His quirk is human lie detector but there's some things you can do to get around it. Just listen to me, okay?
You like saying that.
Saying what?
Listen to me.
I guess I do.
"Hi there, my name is Detective Tsukauchi. Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong, we just want to ask some questions, if you don't mind." The detective said with a disarming smile as soon as Izuku opened the door to the principals office, he reached out his hand for a handshake and Izuku accepted. To the side was Aizawa and a lanky blond man who only waved at him with a smile. Izuku's not sure what's going on.
His name is Toshinori, don't worry he's a good person. You'll like him.
"Um... sure? Can we make this quick though? I'm... I'm not feeling well." He says honestly, because his entire body is still aching and it's taking everything he has not to collapse right now.
"Ah don't worry, we'll keep this short." Naomasa said, sitting down behind of the desk, Izuku happily sits down as well to one infront of it.
"Let's keep this short. Do you know me?"
"I do."
"Do you know my name?"
Obvious answer is no but I kinda said to you the WHOLE name earlier. Say 'you just told me'.
"You just told me." Izuku says, "why are you asking?"
Naomasa's hand stills from what he's writing, hesitating before he answered.
"Nothing, just want to make sure you know me before I ask you any questions, you do you know that you're not in trouble or anything, right?" Izuku nods.
"Do you know who the blond man at the side is?"
"I've never met him before."
"...Izuku, are you talking to someone right now?"
"I'm talking to you."
"Are you talking to anyone beside me right now?"
"You're the only person I'm speaking to."
"...I see." Naomasa nods, "do you know who Aizawa is to your life?"
"...My teacher?" Izuku says, honestly, "is there... anything more to him? He's not my real secret father or anything, right?"
"No, don't worry, he's not. Here, how did you know about the USJ? Your teacher told me that you said something about the USJ to class 1-A, you're listed down as quirkless so how did that happen?"
"...I... I didn't say anything to class 1-A." Izuku admits, because it was static who said that, not him, Naomasa pauses.
"Are... are you sure you didn't say anything to class 1-A?"
"No."
"Did you knock down Bakugou?"
"No."
"Did you threaten Kirishima?"
"I don't know who he is."
"Did you try to barge in Iida's stall?"
"Why would I do that? No."
"He's lying." Aizawa says.
"Aizawa, he's not." Naomasa, hushing him, "let him speak. Can you explain yourself? We have footage of you barging into the changing rooms of class 1-A."
"I did, I barged into their room."
"You did?"
"I did."
"What else happened?"
"Aizawa-sensei pulled me out."
"Is that all that happened?"
"Of course, are you going to saw otherwise? As far as I know it's not like you put a camera inside of the changing rooms." Izuku says, "didn't you say you're going to keep this short?"
"...Just give us a little more time, don't worry, we'll be done soon." Izuku nods.
This is nerve-wracking.
You're doing great, you haven't said a single lie yet, well, a single direct lie.
Thanks Static.
"There's 5 minutes before Aizawa barges into the room and pulls you out, what did you do during those 5 minutes?"
"Nothing."
"At all?"
"I guess I talked to someone but that's about it."
"Are you 100% sure?"
"I am."
Naomasa paused, looking down at his notes.
"Are you talking to someone else right now?"
"I'm only spea-"
"Answer with a yes or no, are you talking to someone else right now?"
"...right now? As of right now, no, I'm not talking to anyone else aside from you." Naomasa's brow furrowed.
"Throughout our entire conversation, were you talking to someone else?"
"Why are you asking me that so much? I thought I already made it clear."
Naomasa stilled.
"...Sorry, don't worry we won't take much more of your time, you're free to go now, Izuku." Izuku nods, standing up.
"Thank you, I'll be going now, Detective." He says before leaving the room.
There was silence before Aizawa opened his mouth.
"He was lying."
"No he wasn't, my quirk didn't pick up anything- but it's probably because he knows his way around it, he definitely was talking to someone else throughout. I don't think it was the previous Izuku, he would have no reason to lie to anyone else, especially you. It was someone else."
"But what about that thing in the changing rooms?"
"He wasn't lying, I'm not sure how or why since you told me in detail what he exactly did but he wasn't lying when he said he didn't do any of that."
"..."
"Well either way, there's another two people you want me to interview, right?" Toshinori nods.
"I'm not sure about them yet, as far as I know, they weren't here in the original timeline."
"Ah, I see... how do you say?"
"Class 1-C of general education only ever had normal students way back then, faces and personalities I can admit that are plain enough to be easily forgotten, the only one I genuinely remember is Shinso Hitoshi. It's been awhile but I'm... I'm almost sure that in the previous timeline, Katsuki Gougou and Yamikumo Midori did not exist."
"Is that so?" Yagi nods.
"But I might just be mistaken, even if they look similar to Izuku and Katsuki maybe it's just a coincidence but I want to be sure. We're still not sure why Izuku went back this far to reset and I'll take any clue or hint that I can get."
_______________________
The first thing Izuku did when he got home was run into the bathroom connected to his room and violently splurged out his lunch and maybe even his organs from the clumps of blood he sees floating in the toilet and honestly, that sight alone made him splurge more before he finally flushed down the toilet. He's still not sure why he's just randomly vomiting out of all sudden and there's this weird heat in his entire body, feeling like he's burning up, like poison spreading throughout but he's been completely fine and normal the week before and he's not sure why his body is acting like he's getting hit with a train or something.
"I'm home!" Izuku chirps, if his mom asks why he ran straight to cr he'll just tell her that he really needed to poop.
"Welcome home! Your dinner is in the microwave sweetie, you can just reheat it when you want to eat!" Izuku blesses his mother from his mind god bless her indeed.
"Thanks! I'll do my homework first!" Sike Izuku already did his homework during lunch. He just need sometime to process some stuff and maybe try not to die. That sounds like a wonderful plan.
He plops to his bed and just lays there.
I still can't believe you made me go to school for that.
It was very important that you were there, some of my suspicions have been proven but I still need more evidence to make a concrete conclusion.
What're you talking about?
Can't tell you, yet.
So you'll tell me sometime in the future?
I have a feeling you won't like it but yeah, sure I'll tell you in the future.
This still wasn't worth it.
Sorry.
