chapter 9: cat queries

"Young man, before you go, I'd like to ask you some questions." One of the police officers put his hand on my shoulder, preventing me from returning home. He was of average build, and would go unnoticeable, had his head not been that of a ginger tabby cat. He wore the outfit of most police officers, a pale blue button-up shirt with a protective vest over the top. Hilariously enough, he also wore a large golden cat bell around his neck.

I sighed. "Sure, ask away." It felt unnecessary to me, as there had been plenty of witnesses, but I begrudgingly obeyed. Compliance was sure to make everything go quicker.

"Great." The cat officer had a pen and notebook at the ready. "Could you give me a summary of everything that happened?"

"Sure. Let's see." I raised my head in thought. "I was walking down the street with my brother here when we heard an explosion from a nearby store. The two men you just arrested had robbed the place and were running away with the stolen goods. I would have let you guys handle it because that's the law and all, but they hurt an old lady on the way. So, I decided to capture them using my quirk."

"Hmm, ok." Cat man took notes. "And what is your quirk exactly?"

"Telekinesis." A half-truth. While telekinesis was one of the most powerful weapons in my arsenal, my true quirk was a bit more complicated than that. Officer cat did not need to know that, though.

"I see. Quite a rare quirk. That explains How you were to deal with the villains so easily." He took some more notes. "I think I understand the situation. According to protocol, I'd have to bring you in for further questioning since what you did technically counts as vigilantism, which is very illegal. However, since you handled the situation relatively peacefully, and you don't strike me as a repeat offender, I'm going to let you go. However, please do not make a habit of using your quirk openly unless you don't have a choice. Nyan."

I raised an eyebrow. "Did you just say 'Nyan'?"

"I am mostly cat. Is it really that surprising?"He said, not a hint of emotion on his feline face.

"Makes sense." I nodded in understanding. "Is there anything else you need, officer? Otherwise, I think I'll be heading home."

The feline officer put away his notebook and pen. "No, that will be all. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nyice day, kid." He nodded and walked away.

I was perplexed. Who would have thought that the serious-looking cat person would crack jokes like that? I shook my head and smiled before beckoning Izuku and returning home. It had been a long day, and I was tired. I was looking forward to the next day, as the encounter with the criminals had given me quite a few ideas for my quirk. For now, though, I really needed a nice Nyap.

A.N/// it's everyone's favorite character, the cop with the cat head. he shows up like twice in the whole series and says maybe one line so I thought I'd add some character. what do y'all think?
