???'s POV

A rough cough escapes my throat, seizing my already scratchy throat into more pain. I looked up again with my remaining strength at the bright red and orange flames that danced around me before looking down as I started to lose consciousness.

Just as the world goes black I hear a loud bold voice calling out... then someone grab me....

Then nothing

Naomasa's POV

A sigh escaped me quietly as I looked over some old paperwork of a cold case.
" They always give the worst villains the coolest names... what type of villain name is al- "

Knock

I looked up hearing the knock at my door,
" Come in! "
One of our new recruits walked in, we talked blankly about a current case. He had some questions that I didn't mind answering

" -so, have you heard that some American Hero recently came to Japan? He made a big name for himself over in America... I think he was #1 hero over there. "
That was off topic from our current conversation... I tilted my head slightly
" What's his name? "
I said blankly. I haven't heard anything about a hero coming to Japan from America
" Ah... it was something like.. Might... Al.. All Might was his name! He supposedly has a strength quirk. "
He said with a smile, he seems really into this guy

" Hmm.. I guess I'll look into him when I get the chance. For now, you should get back to work. I'm about to leave "
The male nodded and left.

I looked back down at the old paper. This man... This Villain. This was 10 years ago.

Where did this villain go.
And why is nothing known about them?

~~~

I got into my car putting my small brown bag in the passenger seat. I leaned back in my chair exhaustedly, then I looked up again.
Coffee... Coffee sounds nice
I thought to myself. I turned on my car and started to leave.

" News of American Hero All Might coming to Japan has sparked many thoughts amongst the people of Japan.. "
Ah, that name again. I turned up the radio so I could hear it better
" Especially about his title he wants... He calls himself 'A symbol of Peace'. Many people have started calling this a childish dream, if you have any thoughts. Call us and share what you think! Until next time.. "
I turned the radio down again.
Symbol of Peace huh?

What a stupid dream

I pulled up to the coffee place not too far from my apartment building. I turned off my car and went inside, buying a pure black coffee. I already knew they always had a lot of sugars off on the condiments table so when I got the drink I put a lot of the sugars in it.

I found my way to a seat far off into a corner. Sipping the coffee
Still bitter
I thought to myself. At least it was waking me up. I'm glad it did. I knew I was really out of it today because of how tired I was. Trying to be a lead detective is definitely makes you tired I guess.
