Chapter 23 The Confrontation
You guys should check out my new story that I'm making! It's gonna be a villain class 1-A story! I'm so excited
My mother
She's a human
I think...
My parents met. Got married. Had me. The normal stuff that usually happens. She seemed normal.
But deep down she was a monster who just wanted to satisfy her own selfish desires. Desires that ruined my father and I.
My mother is from Finland. Her family is very successful. They own a huge company and have several branches in different countries. The company makes clothes and equipment for heroes. She moved to Japan to take over one of these branches.
Success is the only thing that matters in her family. She was an only child so she needed an heir. A child who could take over the business. But they needed to be strong too.
She met my father, and she knew...
She knew she could take advantage of him and birth a strong child with him. What she wasn't expecting was me.
I was a relatively normal boy at first. Nothing overly extraordinary about me. When I turned 4 and didn't develop a quirk, she flipped. Saying things like how could such a weak being come from him. With no strength and no quirk she abandoned us saying we were both useless. My father didn't train me until after mom had left. He said I needed to be able to protect myself for when she comes back...
But I didn't expect her to comeback this soon...
"Gogeta..." She whispered. Her voice high pitched with surprised mixed in. Her face was contorted. Like she couldn't make up her mind if she was happy or disgusted to see me. Most likely the latter.
Her graying brown hair was pulled back into a bun. She wore little to no makeup and was dressed in business casual. A blouse and skirt with flats. Her blue eyes pierced my soul. Digging under my skin to find any flaws. She studied me up and down making notes of my physique and stature.
"You've sure grown up." She said almost sounding disappointed. But behind her cold, glass eyes I could see the intent of using me for her own agenda. I could see the greed pouring out of her features.
Disgusting.
"Don't talk to him. You have no right to come back after what you've done." My father snapped. Glaring daggers into a woman he once loved so dearly. I looked away from both of them as they began to argue.
I don't want to be here. Why is she here? Why come back now of all times?
She must want me... there's no other explanation. She wants to use me now that I'm strong.
"I can speak to my son if I want to." She replied coolly.
I ain't your son you fucking old hag.
Dear God. Bakugo is rubbing off on me. This ain't good.
"Don't you dare. You can't call him your son after what you've done to him. He'll never be the same. He'll never be normal."
He snapped back calmly. But hatred laced every word.
"He wasn't normal to begin with. Just look at him. You call him normal." She hissed at my father. She turned her face towards me. I locked eyes with her. Petrified like a rabbit spotted by a lynx. Caught like a deer in headlights. Her blue eyes regarded me coldly saying unspoken words she wouldn't say in front of Goku.
"Hirviö." She mouthed silently.
In that moment my whole world crumbled. Everything I worked so hard to achieve seemed to amount to nothing in the face of the danger I faced now.
I'll never be anything other than a monster.
How can't I be? What could I have done so wrong to make my own mother hate me so much?
What did I do?
Why doesn't she care? Why does she call me those things? Why does she use us like this?
Flashbacks of memories passed through my head. When I healed a bird. The first time she called me a monster. When my eyes changed colors in front of her. When I blew up a mountain with a ki blast. But the most prominent thing was the look of horror and terror shown in the lines on her face. But behind her eyes was joy and greed as she watched me.
What did I do?
Why is my father the only one who loves me?
Wait...
That doesn't sound right anymore.
Why?
A bright smile flashed through my head.
Ah. Right.
I smiled to myself and closed my eyes. Both of my parents completely confused on how I was smiling.
I know why it doesn't sound right.
I lifted my head up to my mother. A human being. Not the monster I always thought she was.
More smiled and faces followed the first one. Some smiling, laughing, waving, scowling, smirking. Soon a picture was formed in my head.
My class and teachers glowing white as they stared at me with various expressions on their faces.
It's because I have them now.
I stared my mother dead in the eyes. She looked surprised as I made eye contact with her willingly. My gaze piercing her through with strength and determination she hasn't seen and a resolve that has never been there before.
I don't need her 'love' anymore.
I smiled at her. She seemed taken aback before her face hardened into hate.
I have something much better now.
"Why you little! Who..!!" My 'mother' began screaming at me. Her face contorting into what she really was. A human being with an ugly personality.
Friends.
Pink and brown hair flashed through my mind. Followed by a teasing glare and a smirk. My expression didn't change even as my mother shouted at me. My father watched me silently as he waited for my next move.
Friends, and... maybe something more.
"You know." I started. My mother stopped her screaming mid sentence to listen. I looked her in the eyes. My eyes dark as coal. Cold as ice. My eyes were nothing like hers, because at least I had love and happiness in mine. "I don't need your love anymore, because I found something better. I don't need you in my life. I don't know why you came, and I don't care. Leave. And never come back. Leave while I'm feeling generous. After all, your a human to even if you don't act like it." I said calmly and neutrally. I smiled brightly at her as I finished.
She was awestruck. My father had a look of surprise that quickly melted into a smile.
Goku's POV
I stared at my son standing next to me. He seemed so different. Not like the scarred little boy that I knew so well.
This person was different. He was more mature. And while he has gone through hardships, he's over come them. He's grown. I smiled at him.
He's sure grown up.
He's a greater man than I'll ever be.
I faced my ex-wife. Her face a mix of surprise and hatred.
He doesn't need me anymore. Sad but it was bound to happen eventually.
I looked back to my son. He looked at me. And smiled the brightest smile I've ever seen come from him. He seemed so content. So happy now that he didn't have his mother's darkness looming over his life.
But I'll always be here.
And I'll always love you.
My son.
I smiled at him and pulled him into a hug.
My savior. Gogeta.
Never change... for you'll help others heal who are more broken than I am.
I blinked at the light of the setting sun as we walked to the clearing. I looked next to me to see Bakugo and Ryoko arguing. I smiled and joined in on the conversation.
This is much better.
I turned my head towards the setting sun as we reached the clearing. I paused for a second to breath in the clear air.
Goodbye forever mom. I hope you live a good life.
A.N. 1342 words! No more cliffhanger! Gogeta thought about what happened as they headed over for the test of courage! Next chapter will be the remainder of the training camp! Hope you liked it!
