7 Chapter 7: Something Afoot

Izuku smiled happily as he watched his children eat his food with such glee. It filled him with joy to see them all so happy eating what he made.

There was Kei. The child he had saved from a villain. Her happy go lucky personality, love of puns, and sheer contagious happy energy made her a joy to be around. Even if some of her puns could be a bit cringy.

Fu, his only son, was a bit boring but he was always very mindful of his siblings and father. He was smart, curious, and took after Izuku's habit of taking down notes of people's quirks. His quirk may have made him a bit gross at times, but that wasn't his fault and no one here begrudged him for it.

Kiba was his most troublesome daughter as her egotistical and silly personality, combined with her immense strength, caused her to get into trouble way more often than the other children. But she always meant well and was rather endearing despite her ego, making it hard to stay mad at her forever.

Sansan can't really eat anything so she was just in front of the T.V.. This time she was watching a hero fight on the news. Eagerly trying to recreate the moves she saw on screen. It was really cute, even if he was always nervous she would break something.

Then there were his two biological daughters. Eri and Izumi.

Izumi had light pink hair and purple eyes and was about six years old. The youngest out of all Izuku's kids. She did get Izuku's freckles though, other than that she looked really nothing like him.

He shook his head. He felt like something was wrong for some reason.

However, he didn't have time to think about that however as Eri and Izumi suddenly ran into his legs.

He looked down and saw the two smiling brightly at him.

"Carry us!" Izumi giggled.

"Please!" Eri smiled brightly at him.

Izuku was glad that he had started working out, as he was able to more easily pick up the two small children.

"Are you two excited to move soon?" He asked the two of them. He was a bit nervous about how the two of them would feel about the move. Afterall these two had spent their entire lives here.

However, his fears were realized as the two of them nodded eagerly.

"How big is it gonna be!? Are we gonna have a pool!? Is our room gonna be big!?" Izumi seemed extremely excited. Her excited questions were stopped by a tired yawn coming from her mouth.

Izuku chuckled. "It's going to be very big. And we'll have lots of rooms."

Izumi was bursting with excitement. And Eri seemed happy as well.

"Are you two gonna miss this place though? We have spent a while here?" Izuku asked.

"Nope." Izumi gave him a blank stare and paused for a moment. "O-Oh yeah! I'm uh...really sad. About that."

Eri thought about the question. She had spent all of her life here and yet...she felt no real attachment. She remembered being here all her life, but when she tried to remember details about this place past a certain point, it got...hard.

Eri clutched her head in pain.

"Eri are you ok?!" Izuku asked, looking at her with concern.

"Y-Yes," Eri said as the headache alleviated.

Izumi was also concerned, but she seemed more...nervous than concerned.

Izumi quickly shifted moods however and gave a bright smile to Izuku. "Daddy, we got all the points, remember! You promised you would take us to the amusement park!"

"Of course I remember! I would never forget all the hard work you guys did!" Izuku looked at them all, pride and happiness bursting from his eyes. "I'm so proud you all managed to get so many points before we even moved out!"

"Ha! Of course, we did! The great Kiba and her siblings will surpass any and all expectations!" Kiba laughed proudly.

"Weren't you the only person to lose points." Fu reminded her, making her stop and hang her head in shame of that memory. "And we also got one sibling so that probably helped."

"GYOO!" Sansan added, raising her fist high into the air.

"We all worked super hard! I can even read books all by myself!" Kei puffed out her chest proudly, her snakes looking particularly smug.

I didn't know snakes could look smug. Izumi thought, giving a small yawn. My family is weird. But their mine….all mine.

"You've been putting in a lot of effort to Eri." Izuku patted Eri's head. "One day you have full control over your quirk."

Eri wanted to be confident that, but for some reason, she wasn't. And she couldn't quite understand why. She didn't normally doubt herself but for some reason, she felt like she did.

"Ah!" The headache was back again, Eri pushed her head into Izuku's chest.

Izuku was now really concerned. "Eri are you feeling ok today?"

"My-my hurt a little. It's gone." Eri said.

"Are you sick sis?" Izumi asked her.

"Eri's sick?" Kei immediately got up and ran over to Izuku.

"If Eri's sick then we should probably go another day," Fu suggested.

Sansan nodded very intensely in agreement.

Kiba didn't say anything. She really wanted to go to the amusement park but if Eri was sick it would be more important for them to stay home until she was better.

"I'm fine!" Eri initiated. She didn't want the trip delayed because of her. She would ask them to go without her, but she knew that they would never do that.

Izuku felt her forehead. No fever.

He thought, real hard about this. He could delay it, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

He looked at the kids. They would all be really disappointed though and he hated the idea of disappointing them.

As he looked over them his eyes landed on Izumi. And he noticed something. Her eyes had bags. Very noticeable bags. He didn't know how he didn't see them before.

"Izumi. Did you sleep last night?" Izuku asked her, giving her a stern look.

Her eyes widened in panic and realization, and she nervously looked for an answer. "I-um-I-uhhhh."

"She does seem kinda tired," Fu noted.

"I-I am not." Izumi glared at the zombie boy. However, her point was rendered moot by another yawn coming out of her mouth.

Izuku gave her a stern look. "Izumi, I told everyone to go to sleep early last night."

"I-I I'm sorry daddy." Izumi gave him an overdramatic teary-eyed look, that would only work on a sap.

Fortunately, Izuku was very much a sap and his stern look faded away almost instantly. "Well, I need to postpone the trip to tomorrow anyway."

"B-But I'm fine!" Eri protested. Her eyes teared up a little. Why am I crying? I don't cry a lot b-but it f-feels like-ahh!

Another headache pulsed through Eri's head. She tried not to let it show, but it was hard for her not to wince in pain, and in the end, Izuku noticed.

"You and Izumi are going to bed. Your health is more important than the trip." Izuku looked to the other children. "Right?"

"Yeah! Eri is important!" Kei nodded.

Sansan held up a flashcard saying in crude print, "Get well Eri."

"Rest dear sister. I have infinite patience and-hey don't laugh!" Kiba shouted to Fu who was trying and failing not to laugh at her saying she had infinite patience.

"We'll go once the headache's stop," Izuku said. "Hopefully they'll stop later today so we can go tomorrow. And if you still feel them tomorrow then we'll see a doctor."

Eri nodded. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok sis. I'll stay with you." Izumi gave Eri a kind smile and held her hand, firmly.

Eri smiled at her sister and Izuku walked to the bedroom.

Once Izuku got in there he laid the two of them down on his bed and tucked them in.

"You two get some rest, I'll be right over there reading and doing some exercise." Izuku was about to move away but Izumi grabbed his shirt.

"You're not gonna stay!?" Izumi asked him, panic laced within her voice.

"I'm just gonna be right there," Izuku said pointing to the desk that was literally five feet away.

Izumi continued to give him that teary-eyed, begging look.

Izuku sighed. "I need to keep working and studying so that way I can take care of you guys the best I can."

Izumi's expression faltered for a second.

He's always thinking about his kids. He's perfect! Izumi thought.

However, it didn't take long for her expression to go back the same teary eye one, begging for him to lay down with them.

"Daddy." Eri looked away slightly. "I-I want you to sleep with us too."

Izuku looked at the two of them, and then back to the books. And then he sighed.

"Let me just get a book to read and I'll lay down," Izuku said coming up with a compromise.

"Thank you, daddy!" Izumi grinned, staring at Izuku with a look of pure admiration.

Izuku tussled her hair, making her giggle. She was a handful, but any trouble she caused was more than worth it to see her smile.

He grabbed a book labeled, advanced quirk counseling, and then prepared to lay down.

"Can I be in the middle?" Izumi asked, moving over so Izuku could be on the side. "I wanna hug big sis too."

Izuku looked at Eri, who in response hugged Izumi and gave Izuku a nod saying he was ok with it.

He crawled into bed and felt Izumi immediately pull him in closer. Latching onto both him and Eri and holding them tight.

Izumi was in paradise. Sleeping next to her father and her slightly older sister, getting hugged by that sister as her father gently strokes both their heads.

It was everything she could ever want. Everything she had dreamed of.

Sniff.

Eri opened her eyes and Izuku tore his attention from his book and turned to Izumi.

Tears started leaking from her eyes and Izumi started crying into Izuku and Eri's arms.

"Daddy? Big sis? You love me right?" Izumi asked tearfully right.

"Of course we do," Izuku said instantly.

"Yes," Eri said almost as fast, hugging her sister a bit closer to her.

"We love our siblings more than anything else in the world," Izuku said, soothingly rubbing the back of her head.

Izumi leaned into their embraces. It was real. It was all here. They loved her. They cared for her. They wanted her here.

Her eyes started to close. She was really tired.

After all, she had been busy all of last night.

Her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

Meanwhile with the other kids.

Fu, Kiba, Kei, and Sansan were playing Super Hero Bash together on the couch, or rather Kiba was fighting of Fu and Kei who teamed up to fight against her, while Sansan just ran around throwing random attacks and off staging herself because she didn't really know how to play the game.

"I grabbed her! Fu use your ultimate!" Kei shouted.

"Damn Death Arms and his absurd grab range!" Kiba growled as she button mashed to try and escape.

Fu activated his ultimate attack with Hawks, hitting both Edgeshot and Death Arms. After a short cinematic both characters were sent flying off-screen.

"Curses!" Kiba shouted, throwing her controller.

The controller flew out and hit one of the boxes, knocking it over and breaking the controller.

Kiba's eyes widened in panic. "Oh no, Oh no, oh no!"

She ran over to the fallen box and picked up the broken controller.

"Dad is gonna be so mad!" Kiba dropped her usual persona.

"For the controller or for the pictures?" Fu asked.

"Pictures?" Kiba looked up and saw the box had opened up and the picture frames had spilled out. "Ahhhhhhh!"

Kiba quickly picked up the box and started putting back the frames into the box.

Fu paused the game and went over to help and started looking at the pictures, when he noticed something odd, and picked up a certain picture.

"What are you doing?! We need to put these away!" Kiba snatched the picture.

"Wait look at that picture," Fu said.

Kiba looked at the picture. It was a picture they had all taken after they got Sansan. Their first group hug, Sansan was wrapped around all of them like a gooey rubber band while Izuku held up the camera trying to get the best shot.

However, something was off.

Izumi wasn't in it.

Kiba looked at the picture in confusion. She remembered Izumi being in that photo. So why wasn't she actually in it?

Fu was equally confused.

"Why-ahhhh!" Kiba suddenly dropped the picture, as a massive headache hit her like a truck.

"Kiba what's-" Fu stopped, as he suddenly felt strange. Something was happening in his head.

"Kiba!" Kei and Sansan immediately got off the couch and ran towards the vampire girl in pain.

"Goo!" Sansan moved around Kiba, trying to see what was hurting her.

Meanwhile, in their minds, something changed.

Their memories of taking the picture, now matched up with the picture itself.

Kiba's headache stopped and the girl groaned in pain. "What...was that?"

"Izumi was...never in that picture." Fu realized.

"You remember it now too!?" Kiba gave him a pointed look. "How is it you didn't suffer from a headache like I did."

"Probably because I can't feel pain." Fu guessed.

He put his thumb to his lips and got into a thinking stance. "Izumi wasn't in that picture. So why did we remember her being in it? Also, why did Kiba have a huge headache before she could remember it right?"

"What are you talking about?" Kei asked, totally confused.

"You recall our first group embrace when Sansan first arrived correct?" Kiba asked Kei while she picked up the photo.

"Yeah, it was great! It was like being covered in jelly!" Kei chirped. Sansan was evidently happy to hear this and wrapped her in a hug, making the two of them giggle.

"And you remember Izumi being in the picture right?" Kiba asked her.

"Uh-huh," Kei replied.

"Well, she's not," Kiba revealed the picture, allowing both Kei and Sansan to get a good look.

The two of them looked confused for a while. Before Kei suddenly got the same headache Kiba did.

Sansan just blankly stared at the photo for half a minute, before looking confused again.

After about the same amount of time Kei's headache stopped.

"Wha? Huh? Why?" Kei was so confused.

"Something's definitely wrong," Fu said.

"Did your memory change too?" Kei asked Sansan.

The good girl nodded.

"But she didn't get a headache either. I guess it doesn't happen to people who can't feel pain." Fu summarized. "But for people who can, they get headaches whenever their memories...wait...Eri!"

"Eri?" Kiba and Kei said at the same time, as all three girls gave him a confused look.

"Eri was getting a lot of headaches today remember." Fu reminded them.

"Oh right! Do you think that had something to do with this?" Kiba asked.

"Probably," Fu said. "We should ask her when she wakes up."

"I can't wait that long!" Kiba objected. "There is something afoot in our home! Our minds are under attack! We can not waste a single second!"

"If we wake up Eri Izuku's gonna give you a disappointed look," Kei told her.

"Never mind we shall wait!" Kiba said almost instantly. "In the meantime, let us see what clues we can find on our own shall we!"

"Yeah." Fu agreed. "Maybe we should look at more pictures."

A few hours later.

Izuku walked out of his room as quietly as he could. Not wanting to wake either of his daughters up.

He looked at his watch. It's going to get late. It's a shame we couldn't go to the park today. Maybe I should go make some special snacks for them! I'll need to go to the supermarket to get the ingredients though.

As Izuku walked into the living room he saw that of the picture frames he had packed up had been taken out of the box and were being looked at by the other kids.

"What are you doing?" Izuku asked them.

"Izuku!" Kei ran up to him holding a picture.

Izuku looked at the picture. It was a picture that He, Izumi, Eri, and Kei had taken when they sold food in the park.

Except. Izumi wasn't in it.

"What?" Izuku took the picture from Kei. "But...Izumi was in this I remember-ah!"

A headache suddenly hit Izuku, as his memory repaired itself.

"Look at this too!" Kiba brought out a few more photos that Izumi was mysteriously absent from.

The pain in Izuku's head increased, as his memory rearranged itself to make sense of what he was seeing.

"W-What's going on?" Izuku groaned, clutching his head.

"I don't know," Fu said. "But I think something may be wrong with our memories."

"Some dastardly villain might be controlling our minds!" Kiba suggested.

Izuku wasn't sure about that, but it was clear something was wrong. And that it probably involved a quirk.

What's strange to Izuku, is that none of the other kids seemed to be missing from photos they should be in. Just Izumi. And he didn't know why that was.

For a second. Just a split second, he suspected Izumi herself may have something to do with this.

However, he quickly dismissed that thought. Izumi was his daughter. There is no way she would do anything bad to them.

Besides, she was quirkless. Just like he was. There was no way she could have done this.

He pulled out his phone and quickly called the police.

"Hello, this is the police, what is your emergency?" The person on the other end said.

"Yes, this is Midoriya Izuku. I think me and my family are under the effect of some kind of mental quirk." Izuku said. "We started looking at pictures and found that one of our family members-"

"Wait, you said your name was Midoriya Izuku?" The person on the other end said.

"Yes," Izuku confirmed.

"Ok give me a second." The person said.

Suddenly the phone bleeped. And then after a few seconds, a new, and very familiar voice picked up.

"Hey there Izuku old buddy what's up?" Asked the voice of Namae.

"Namae!?" Izuku asked in confusion, then he remembered, anything that might concern the safety of the children was to be reported to the O.P.C.C.. "Oh, sorry. I forgot I was supposed to report to your branch...but um. Are you the only person that works for the O.P.C.C.? I've never met anyone else who works there except you."

"Yeah you see after you took in Eri, you found Kei so fast I didn't get a chance to leave the city and was the closest agent available. Same goes for the other kids. Now I just got promoted as the connection between you and the O.P.C.C. so you're gonna be hearing a lot from me."

"The...Eri incident?" Izuku had no idea what she was talking about.

"Yeah. When you saved Eri from the Yakuza and then adopted her." Namae said in a confused tone, wondering why she had to remind him of this.

"Yakuza!? Adoption?! Eri's my biological daughter. What are-" Izuku stopped. Wait...if our memories are being affected then- "Ahh!"

Another headache hit Izuku, this time much harder than the last one. But this time, instead of his memory being fixed, it just became...foggy.

What's going on? Eri's my daughter, right? My biological daughter? Izuku was even more confused.

"Biological-Izuku there is no way you've had sex with anyone at your current age, let alone when you were in grade school," Namae told him.

"What's sex?" Izuku felt like he heard of that before, and part of him felt embarrassed by saying it.

"Izuku...are you pranking me? You're pranking me right?" Namae asked him.

"N-no. I think something's happened to our memories. We started looking at some pictures and we noticed Izumi wasn't there-" Izuku got cut off.

"Izumi? Who the hell is Izumi?" Namae asked.

"My other biological daughter. Eri's sister." Izuku answered.

"Ok, again. Izuku you have no biological daughters and you've never taken in anyone named Izumi." Namae said. "I'm sending some people over to you now, would you mind describing whoever the hell this Izumi kid is."

"She's a...she's got pink hair and purple eyes-" Izuku was interrupted again.

"She had pink hair and purple eyes and you thought she was directly related to you." Namae deadpanned.

"Yeah, I think she gets it from her mom," Izuku said.

"And that is?" Namae asked.

"I...can't remember them," Izuku answered, Izuku could feel his head hurting again.

"Ok, Izuku. I want you to look up how babies are made, then think about if you really have any biological daughters." Namae said.

One google search later.

Izuku's face was pale as he finished reading about it.

What's worse is that as he had read it the memories of learning about it came back to him. Meaning he had to learn about the birds and bees twice.

I-I know I didn't do that! With anyone! But that means that- Suddenly it hit Izuku. This headache wasn't nearly as long, but it hit Izuku like a bullet. Causing him to pass out as memories swirled and changed in his head.

Hours later.

"Ohhh." Izuku groaned. He opened his eyes and saw Namae's deadpanned face staring at him.

"You really couldn't wait until you got the bigger house?" She asked him. Her deadpan broke and gave way into an amused smile. "I really think you have some sort of secret quirk that attracts children."

"What? What are you-" Then it all came back to him. "I don't have any biological daughters!"

"No shit." Namae chuckled.

Izuku looked around and saw he was still in his house, in the living room, on his couch. He saw a bunch of agents in his kitchen raiding his fridge.

"I'm guessing those are your friends?" Izuku sighed.

"Yup. You're rich. You can take us raiding your fridge." Namae said, taking out one of the lollipops he had for the kids and sucking on it.

"I remember everything now," Izuku said.

"Yeah, turns out all your memories were altered by that girl," Namae said. "We had our specialist fix your noggin so you're welcome."

"That girl...Izumi!" Izuku realized. Izumi had never shown up until today and then suddenly all their memories included her.

"Yeah, that's not her real name," Namae informed him. "Her real name Kioku Omoide. And as you can guess, she can alter memories. She's six, coming up on seven, and she's actually not an orphan for once. She has two parents and an older sister."

"Ok…." This was a lot to take in. A small child had broken into his house and changed not only his memory but the memory of his entire family(Except his mom who was out at the time) and inserted herself into their lives.

Then he remembered something. When they laid down and she started crying. Begging for them to say they loved her and while clinging to them.

"Why...did she do all this?" Izuku had a bad, bad, feeling about what the girl's motivation might be.

"Oh, we don't know." Namae shrugged. "When we came in she absolutely lost her shit. She started crying and screaming hysterically, so much to the point where it scared the other children and some of my guys...and me! It was really depressing to look at too. Our guys have been trying to get her to talk to her for a while but she's not cooperating. Think you can give us a hand?"

Izuku nodded and Namae led him to his mother's room, which had two guards in front of it.

The guards moved aside and let the two of them in.

Inside, sitting on his mother's bed, was Kioku. Sobbing into her hands.

When she heard the door open her headshot towards it. Once she saw Izuku she immediately dashed towards him, hugging his legs.

"Please don't get rid of me!" She begged. "Please! I'm sorry I messed with your memory! I-I-I just wanted a family."

Instantly Izuku kneeled down and hugged her, stunning the girl.

"I'm not mad at you," Izuku said to her. "Just, tell us everything."

"E-Everything?" She asked.

"Everything. Why you did this? How you did this. Everything." Izuku told her, sounding both serious and affectionate.

"I-I…" The girl paused, looking rather squeamish. "My family doesn't like me...daddy always tells me to go away and gets angry when I don't, and Mommy is always...not there, in the head. Big sister hates me too. Most of the time they all just ignore me. W-when I got my quirk, I-I tried to make them love me. But my quirk can't change someone like that. They just remembered everything and punished me!"

"Neglectful family, guess I'll have to get legal on the line." Namae sighed.

Izuku would have been amazed that Namae actually sounded kind of professional, but his attention was focused purely on the girl. He had feared that her family was neglectful or abusive the minute Namae mentioned she had a family. Izuku could guess her motivation from here.

"T-Then I saw you. And your family. I saw how much you loved them and-and cared for them and I...I wanted it so bad!" Kioku sobbed. "S-So I erased my old family's memories. And then I changed Kiba's memories so she would leave the door unlocked at night, and I snuck in and changed your memories."

So that's how she got in. She must have ambushed Kiba when we went to the park or something. Izuku speculated.

"Well, you did kind of a sh-bad job. I mean they broke out of it pretty quickly." Namae criticized her.

"It's not my fault! It takes me a long time to change that many memories! And I had to change Eri's whole past!" Kioku defended herself, pouting while flailing her arms.

If it takes her a while then she might have spent all night doing it. That would explain why she was so tired. Izuku thought. But…

"Why did you change so many of Eri's memories?" Izuku asked her.

Kioku froze, and her face turned pale. "I...when I use my quirk, I can look through memories. So when I w-went to change Eri's memories I...I saw everything."

Izuku paled as well and hugged the girl closer. No child should have to see that.

"I-I-why-I-I-I...it was horrible." Kioku sobbed. "I didn't want her to remember it so I...I changed it."

"Yeah that's reasonable, part of me wishes we didn't fix her memory but we're complied to by contract so yeah. But if you want to erase all that stuff from her noggin later then that's up to you." Namae said.

Izuku contemplated that, before quickly pushing it to the back of his mind. He could think about that later. Right now he had to worry about the girl in front of him.

"E-Eri had gone through so much. I-I wanted her to be happy." Kioku admitted. "So I changed everything. But I didn't have enough time, I didn't have enough time for everyone s-so I rushed."

"That explains why we were able to realize it so quickly," Izuku muttered.

"Y-yeah. You don't realize your memory changed unless you see something that proves it." Kioku explained.

So her quirk stays in effect until the victim-witnesses and contradicts the false memories she creates. So if the photos hadn't been there or if she had more time to alter our memories, then we might have never realized something was off. Izuku thought.

"So that explains somethings. But why did you get rid of Izuku's memories of what sex is?" Namae asked.

"Namae!" Izuku moved to cover the girl's ears.

"What?! If she got rid of your memory of sex she probably already knows what sex is. She probably figured it out from looking at her parent's memories." Namae protested, crossing her arms and pouting like a child. "Jeeze."

Kioku looked away, her face turning red from embarrassment. "I-I...I wanted to be his real daughter, but I knew that I couldn't do that if he knew where babies came from so I erased it."

"Ah. So you got greedy and instead of settling for being an adopted kid, you went for the biological route." Namae said before getting lightly elbowed by Izuku, who glared at her fiercely.

"Now is not the time to criticize her," Izuku whispered/growled.

Namae put her hands up defensively and backed away.

Izuku looked back at Kioku who was crying fiercely.

"I-I'm sorry I-I really wanted someone to love me." Kioku cried.

Izuku's heart ached and he pulled the girl into a tiger hug. "I'm sorry."

Kioku froze for a second, before looking at Izuku with confusion. "Wh-what? Why are you sorry?"

"I'm sorry that you felt like you needed to make someone love you," Izuku explained. "No child should have to feel that way. I'll give you all the love you want. So you don't have to do something like that even again."

Kioku's eyes were wide with shock. She knew he was nice but she never would have expected him to be this nice.

Once the shock dispersed, the only things left were tears. Tears for having finally found someone who loves her, tears for it having taken so long, tears for all the things she's been through, and tears for the fact that it was all over.

And so she cried into his chest, while he lovingly patted her back.

"It's ok. Cry for as long as you need." Izuku told her.

Meanwhile, Namae had been making some phone calls while this was all happening.

She walked up to Izuku and tapped his shoulder, getting his attention.

"So I made some calls. We've sent some people to her parent's household. Right now we're starting a case against them for child neglect. During the duration of the case and following legal action she'll be under the care of O.P.C.C., and as per our contract, under your care. And when we are finished assuming we win, which is basically guaranteed, she will be permanently removed for their custody and placed into yours." Namae explained.

Izuku nodded, happy to hear that however there was one thing that confused him. "You labeled her as an O.P.C. that quickly?"

"Well, it likely would have taken longer if it wasn't for her little display," Namae told him. "She, a six-year-old, used her quirk to make her parents forget about her and inserted herself into a whole new family while altering several other things in people's memories, and one girl's entire life, all within the span of one night. Imagine what she could do with more experience or more time."

Izuku thought about what Namae said. Kioku was very young and inexperienced but she was still able to break into his house and mess with the minds of six people in a relatively short amount of time. Eri's personality even changed due to her not remembering past traumas that haunted her. She could in theory change people's entire lives in an instant or even change how they act and what they do. It was an extremely dangerous quirk if in the wrong hands.

And therefore the government wanted to make sure it was in the right hands.

Not that it mattered to him much. He would have probably tried to adopt her regardless of how powerful her quirk was.
