"Determination is the wake-up call to the soul." - Rocky Balboa
[Todoroki Household]
As Fuyumi had decided, since Izuku didn't call her by the time Endeavour came she told him about it.
[Flashback No Jutsu]
"It's already 9 and he hasn't called me yet," said Fuyumi as she was walking around the house in worry.
Fuyumi had never been this worried about anyone before, that's the reason it was caught by her two brothers as well.
"Fuyumi nee, why are you having such a troubled look? Asked Shoto while eating his dinner.
"Don't tell me you already have a boyfriend Fuyumi nee," said Natsuo in an amused tone as well as a teasing smile on his face.
"I can't believe someone caught your eye so soon, nee-san," said Natsuo, teasing her while eating his dinner.
"It's nothing like that," Fuyumi said brushing it off afterall how could she fall in love with someone much younger than her, he is practically Shoto's age
"Then why are you blushing?" asked Natsuo with a smirk.
As this was going on Endeavour came in.
Causing Natsuo to murmur "Mood Killer" as he quickly finished his food and stood up.
Shoto did the same but at a slower pace than Natsuo.
Seeing the two brothers going to their respective rooms as soon as Endeavour came in caused Fuyumi to sigh in exhaustion as she was too worked up to think about this right now, and Izuku's safety was more important.
Seeing this Endeavour didn't think much as it was a regular and he wasn't going to think too much about it.
However, seeing Fuyumi's worried expression, which was more than usual, Endeavour asked, "What's wrong Fuyumi?"
"It's a kid, Dad," said Fuyumi.
"What do you mean?" asked Endeavor in a confused state.
"There is a kid named Izuku Yagi, he is quirkless, apparently he gets bullied every day for being quirkless and is always covered in bandages, although I had promised him not to tell anyone as he wanted to become a pro hero, he always visits me every week on Mondays but he hasn't shown up today, he hasn't even been replying my texts or answering my calls, which he never does, and if he wasn't gonna come then he would have definitely informed me so that I don't worry, but today nothing happened and he didn't even show up today, I think something has happened to him, please look into it for me dad, he is the same age as Shoto," explained Fuyumi.
Endeavour silently listened to everything as he started thinking about something.
"Are you sure something has happened to him?" asked Endeavour.
"Yes, I know him very well, even if nothing would have happened and he just couldn't come he would definitely let me know, he tells me everything in detail, yet skips the bullying part all altogether but I'm not blind I can see and tell the difference between bullying and training, and what he's going through is increasing every day, that's why I'm sure something has happened to him," explained Fuyumi.
"What about his family?" asked Endeavour.
"Hmphh, they don't care about him, if they did then he wouldn't be this badly injured, didn't you listen that he is quirkless, you treat us differently because of our quirks, Shoto is your prized child and thus you give him all of your time and focus on his training alone while neglecting us all together, do you want me to tell you what him being quirkless means?" asked Fuyumi in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Endeavour didn't say anything as he had just recently realised how much of a partial father he was and also understood why his kids never liked him and because of this his family was almost broken had it not been Fuyumi holding everyone like glue then this family would have scattered long along and he couldn't have done anything at all, and for that he was thankful of Fuyumi.
And understanding that Izuku was quirkless he understood the kind of treatment he would have received at his home afterall he was just like them, who discriminated against his own kids based on their quirks, so he totally understood Fuyumi's concern.
As someone who had recently realised the importance of family and was trying to make amends and fix his family, he wanted to make things right and Fuyumi was definitely helping him in this and that's why he decided to listen to his daughter.
And he sort of had again become partial but in a good way, as he was listening to everything Fuyumi said, of course, Fuyumi taught him how a father should act. All in all, Fuyumi was teaching her father how to be a good father and a good husband so everything was good.
Although Endeavour would be prideful enough to not admit his mistakes openly or even apologise for that matter, he had subconsciously started rectifying his mistakes as well as understanding how wrong his methods were.
And no matter how messed up his family matters were, he was still the No.2 hero and as a hero, he couldn't neglect a quirkless kid being bullied especially when he was someone close to Fuyumi.
Although Fuyumi wouldn't have noticed her state when worrying about Izuku, even Endeavour who is the last person, one would go to in matters of emotion, even he could tell that, for Fuyumi, Izuku was more than just a friend or quirkless kid she wanted to help, although he didn't meddle into any of that matter, as a man child named Endeavour was slowly maturing and it was his way of giving her some space, well he did it subconsciously, and if someone would have pointed it out he would have definitely acted like a tsundere denying any such things.
And so he just called Detective Tsukauchi Naomosa, "Naomosa I am giving you the name of the missing kid, Izuku Yagi, I want you to leave everything and search for him right now, I don't care how much police force you have to use, I want him as soon as possible, start searching for him right now, I'll send you his image." saying this Endeavour cut the phone.
"Don't worry, we'll find him soon," said Endeavour in a reassuring tone.
And somehow hearing this, Fuyumi felt somewhat satisfied thinking now Izuku would be safe as Fuyumi said, "Thanks Dad." saying this Fuyumi went to her room.
Even Endeavour felt satisfied that's when he realised something, "Hey!!! What about my dinner?" asked Endeavour as he realised that he was just used by her eldest child.
