Nezu POV:

I heard from Yamda that they finally got their son back. However the child was so cunning as to escape them again and literally toying with them the whole day. Detective Tsukauchi was also telling me that the last time we met for a Siren meeting a day ago.

It was really amusing to hear that and I had a feeling that Izuku was connected to Siren. I was still not sure about the connection itself but there was one, I could feel it!

Today was finally the day, Yamada would bring Izuku to me. Aizawa informed me yesterday that he needed to stay in the hospital for a day and that he would be released by tomorrow. However, Aizawa being Aizawa he needed to get him out earlier. This is why he was staying only over the night.

I was happy and very curious to finally meet Midoriya. I had the whole day to get to know him. They already informed me that he is mute or they at least think he is. This was a challenge I took personally to find out.

It was around 7:30 when Aizawa finally came in with Izuku by his side. The boy had his headphones on and I would have considered it rude if I didn't know it better. There was always a possibility that the person had a quirk that would enhance their senses. Aizawa informed me beforehand that he had sensitive hearing.

Me: Ah good morning!

Izuku (signing): Morning.

Aizawa: Morning. Now listen Izuku, you will be staying with Nezu till 4 p.m. that's when I will get you.

Izuku turned to him and nodded then my teacher exited the office and left us alone.

Me: Please have a seat.

I pointed to the two couches in my office.

Me: Do you want some tea?

Izuku (signing): May I prepare it?

Me: Why would you want that?

Izuku (signing): I wanted to know if my tea preparing skills would be good enough for your liking.

How do you know that I like tea?

Me: Of course, go ahead!

I watched Izuku go to the tea selection I had and began mixing some of the tea leaves. He then proceeded in heating the kattle I had over the mini inductive stove top. I watched how he carefully prepared two different sets of tea. One I assumed was for himself and one for me. It was such a nice and captivating sight seeing him work with such elegant. After the tee was done, he place both of the cups on the table in between the couches.

Izuku (signing): I hope it to your liking.

I took a sip and my eyes widen.

This is godly!

This reminds me of the tea skills Siren has.

I watched Izuku sipping at his cup.

Me: This is one of the best teas I ever tasted.

Where did you learn to prepare it that way?

Izuku (signing): Glad you like it.

Me: I have some questions for you. You don't have to answer them if you don't like.

Izuku (signing): Why don't we play a game of chess and every time someone losses a piece the opponent will ask a question.

Such a brilliant idea.

Me: All Right let me prepare the chessboard. White or Black?

Izuku (signing): Black.

Me: Ok.

And so began our little chess game. I was seriously impressed. He never gave me a chance to even take one of his pieces except 5 pieces. In contrary to my miserable fail he took every single peace.

1 White Peace:

Izuku (signing): What do you know about Siren?

Interesting question.

So you really are connected with Siren.

Me: He is a well-known vigilante. I would like to speak to him in person but never got the chance to do so.

2 White Peace:

You are playing rather aggressive! This will cost you the game dearly.

Izuku (signing): Why do you want to talk to him in person?

Why so protective?

Is he a close friend?

Nezu: He simply peaked my interest.

1 Black Peace:

Nezu: Why are you asking about Siren?

Izuku (signing): Because all the questions you wanted to ask are about my connection to him.

How did he know that?

Who are you really Izuku Midoriya?

What is your quirk?

3 White Peace:

I sacrificed another piece in order to usher him in my trap.

Izuku (signing): What will you do when you see him in person?

You really care about him a lot.

Nezu: Nothing much. I wanted to give him an offer.

4 White Peace:

So you saw the trap I placed...

No one ever did that beside Siren in our online games.

Your moves also are similar to him.

At this rate I am beginning to think that you are Siren.

Izuku (signing): What should I do when I don't want to go back to Mic?

Hm?

Why the change of topic so sudden?

Me: That depends. Why don't you want to go back?

Izuku (signing): It doesn't feel like he really is my father and I don't really feel at home with him.

Me: I see. Well you could stay with me if you want to.

5 White Peace:

Izuku (signing): Why would you suggest that?

Me: Cause you remind me of Siren and you obviously have a brilliant mind.

6 White Peace:

Izuku (signing): So I will be a Guinee pig for your curiosity?

Me: Oh hell no! You are not an experiment for my desires. I simply enjoy the company of a bright mind.

2 Black Peace:

Finally, I can ask him what I wanted to.

Me: Are you Siren?

Izuku: Yes. Took you long enough Nezu.

His voice threw me off.

Knew it. The tea, the way he plays chess, the capability of escaping Aizawa and the sad reality that he was able to toy with 3 pro-heroes plus one detective. This should have been quite obvious and yet it did took me a good while to figure it out.

I must admit this was quite the a good cover for your identity as Siren. 

We now didn't care who was taking which piece. Questions were asked one after another.

Me: It is quite the honor to meet you.

Izuku: Likewise!

Me: My offer was for you to be a student at my school but you are obviously too young for that.

Izuku: Hahah how old did you think I was?

Me: I did had my suspicions that you are 11 - 12 years but I was still hoping that you would be a little bit older.

Izuku: So did you really meant what you said with me staying with you?

Me: Yes! It would be a pleasure for me to have you around!

Izuku: I would like that very much!

Me: Great then I will get you a room here on UA's ground. You will be staying with me from now on.

Izuku: Wouldn't that be a problem since Mic is my father and has guardianship over me?

Me: Not a problem at all! I will get the paper ready for him to transfer it to me!

Izuku: Can you give the paper to me if he doesn't want to sign them.

Me: Sure but can I ask on why you would want them?

Izuku: I have my ways on getting him to sign it and I also believe being in UA's custody would be more benefitting for me plus he is also a teacher here so he would still have some kind of guardian ship.

Me: That is true.

Izuku: Check mate!

With that our game was over and I totally fell for his trap.

Me: You got me good there. It was such a brilliant trap. I didn't even realize it till it was too late!

Izuku: Well it is fun playing with you!

Me: You never stop amazing me Siren.

Izuku: Call me Izuku! I don't want anyone to find out who I am.

Me: Oh sure, no problem your secret is safe with me and I also will provide you with some gadget you might need for the future so do not hesitate to ask for anything.

Izuku: Thank you!
