Izuku Midoriya

"Chisaki, what happened to the boss?" I asked.

"Well, though I admire the guy, he was preventing our growth. I will revive him once we get to where we need to be. Everything I do is for him and this organization." Overhaul replied.

"What was he stopping you from doing?" I asked. His face grew slightly angry.

"He wouldn't let me use his little grandchild. He didn't want harm to come to her, but we are Villains. We don't need feelings."

"What's his grandchild's name?"

"Eri. I actually want you to take care of her. I know you're probably more caring then most of us. She lives in that room down the hall by the way."

"What are you going to do to her?" I asked, slightly curious.

"You'll see." He said, and walked off.

/////////////////

I walked into the room, expecting the worst, but instead saw that the little girl he was talking about was fine. She had red eyes, a horn growing out of her head, and bandages wrapped around her arms. She looked scared.

"Hey." I said casually. She backed away into the corner of her bed. "Hey, there's no need to be scared. I'm not going to hurt you." I leaned in towards her, and I saw her start to cry. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked her. She shakily pointed at my new beak.

"Oh, this thing?" I took it off, and set it on the floor. "Is that better?" I asked, giving her a smile. She stopped shaking, and she casually looked at my face. She shook her head yes, and finally stopped crying.

"My name's Izuku, Izuku Midoriya. What's yours?"

"E-Eri...." She looked at her bed.

"Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm going to be taking care of you now, Ok?" She slowly nodded her head. She still looked distraught, so I decided to lighten the mood. I poked her nose. She looked at me curiously.

"Why did you do that?" She asked.

"Because, you're just so cute!" I said, trying to make her react. I poked her nose again. Her mouth curved slightly, as if she was about to laugh or smile. But she stopped and it went back to her solemn, sad face.

"What's wrong? Don't you know how to smile?" I asked.

"N-No....I forgot..."

"Well, that's ok. I can teach you how!" I said. I put my hands underneath her armpits, and tickled her. At first her eyes just opened up wider, before a noise started to emit from her mouth. She lightly chuckled, than giggled, than started laughing. It was music to my ears. She was smiling. She was laughing. That's all I had ever wanted out of life, to make people happy, to make people smile, and to make them laugh. Now, I didn't do that. I did the exact opposite. I didn't realized I had stopped until Eri tugged on my shirt.

"Why'd you stop mister? I was having fun." I shook my head to rid myself of my thoughts.

"I have to go now Eri, but I promise I'll be back tommorow." She slowly nodded her head. I turned around and walked out of the bedroom, picking up my beak along the way.

"Is this the place?" All Might asked Midnight. She nodded, and All Might knocked on the door. He waited for a moment, before deciding to knock again. No answer. He looked back at Midnight.

"The receptionist said she never left her apartment." Midnight said, not needing any words from All Might. He sighed, puffed up to his super form, and kicked in the door. He quickly dropped the form, and walked inside. There was a musty smell that hung over the apartment. It smelled like alcohol. He quickly searched the apartment for the women, when he heard yelling coming from a room adjacent to him. He looked at Midnight, and she nodded. They opened the door, ready to fight, only to find a middle aged woman sleeping in her bed, screaming her lungs out.

"IZUKU! IZUKU MY BABY, DON'T LEAVE MEEEEE!"

"MISS PLEASE WAKE UP!" All Might boomed in his super form. He quickly de transformed again, as he saw the women wake up. She looked tired, with red eyes, and messy hair.

"Who are you guys? And what are you doing in my apartment?"

Short time skip

"So you two are pro heroes, and you're looking for my son?" The women known as Inko asked.

"Yes. We want to know if you know anything about him."

"I don't know. He left home two years ago, not to long after my husband left me."

"Why did your husband leave you?"

"Because I got fat and because I'm not pretty anymore." She retorted. She got up, and looked through the cabinets and got down a bottle that looked a lot like alcohol.

"Ma'am, did you ever wonder why your son might have left?"

"Because I became a horrible mom who's always drunk. She sat down and looked at her cup. That's when her eyes flew open, and she smashed the glass bottle of alcohol on the ground.

"STUPID ALCOHOL! I. DONT. NEED. YOU!"

"Ma'am, please calm down." Midnight said. Inko sat down quickly, muttering apologies.

"I'm sorry. I haven't been right in the head for a while." She said.

"It's quite alright. I just have a few more questions to ask you."

"Fire away."

"Does he ever come visit you?"

"Never face to face, but on my birthday, he made me a cake and left it on the counter. He's left notes on the counter before. But that's about it."

"Does he ever call?"

"No."

"Do you know what happened to him?"

"No.....and I'm ashamed at myself. I really let myself get away. Now Izuku is gone, my husband is gone, and now I'm addicted to alcohol." She rambled on, as she started to cry. She felt a hand touch her shoulder, and saw All Might smiling.

"It's alright ma'am. Thank you for talking with us." He stood up, and Midnight followed suit. "Also, ma'am, for what it's worth, you are the farthest thing from ugly."

Inko was hit by the impact of the words, and stuttered her response.

"T-Thanks..."

"Now go get that alcoholism checked ma'am. If you need anything...." he handed her a slip of paper. "Please call me. I'll be glad to help."

"Thank you sir." Tears of happiness welled up in Inko's eyes.





"Thank you."

??? POV

"The Sports festival starts soon Midoriya. I hope you're ready."

"I'm always ready Shigaraki."

"Are you sure?"

"I promise. I will defeat anyone that gets in my way. I won't let my name down. I. Am. Underhaul."
