I have returned from my one-week slumber! Also damn, the summary of all the reviews I had gotten was basically 10% "Momo joined! That's awesome" and 100% "ERI!" XD And honestly I can't blame you guys for that. Eri must be protected!

Also, my birthday is here! Well kinda like in two days but yeah. And as something special, I decide to make a double update!

Reviews on FFN!

Shin: Trust me Chisaki won't know what will hit him :)

SacredKoopa: Might have fit Reiko more aye but nope, Reiko is ghost girl. I want to have a literal fighting Ghost Buddha and Itsuka is perfect for it XD As for Harem? Well just read on and you can guess which one will be joining.

Davidab931:...You are now my favorite commenter just for remembering Doraemon XD

Ahsoei: You mean Polyamorous relationships? I am aiming for that type of relationship but honestly, I won't really delve too deep into the complexities of it. I'm not an expert on it and I'm just gonna do it in a simple way.

Guest 4 Dec: Why would I give the villains power-ups? They have plenty of power already in canon. Alright, I'll just do this as a response to you and in general aswell. To those that are worried that there will be no tension between the fights between the heroes and villains, don't bother. Here's a list of why. Overhaul could literally change the landscape to his whims and could even use another person's quirk via fusing as seen in canon. The High-end Noumus managed to decimate the top heroes and one of them nearly killed Endeavour, the number one hero at the time. Then there was the walking calamity Gigantomachia, who by the way the heroes could only stop because he didn't fight back after literally killing a good chunk of them and the less said about AFO the better.

Also, why the fuck would I give Spinner out of all people a power up? No offense to those that like him but I don't even like the guy and honestly, the league would barely even matter much in the long game. So yeah, excuse me dear Guest I have every right to be pissy since everyone was already pretty powerful in canon and all I did was give the heroes a goddamn fighting chance. And even then only like 5 people so far that got an actually notable power up and that's still doesn't confirm they would win the fight against the big league villains. I already got plans on how to make this story work so no need to tell me what to do.

Now on to the chapter!

Chapter 25

Izuku sighed as he made his way back home, the sun was already setting as he walked through the road. He was also trying to avoid all the stares he was getting. Some were looking at him in awe, others were slightly curious. The reason for the former was obvious, he had won the Sports Festival after all. He was bound to get some attention. That's why he was moving a little bit faster in case any of them got any ideas about confronting him about it.

The curious looks he was gaining on the other hand, were because of the little girl in his arms at the moment.

The girl could not be older than 7 or 8 years old right now, she had crimson red eyes and snow white hair. She also had a large golden horn on her forehead. She would seem pretty normal if it wasn't for the fact that she was wearing rags and had bandages around her arms. It didn't take a genius to know that she needed some help asap.

It took some convincing on his part, she was pretty guarded and weary around him which was understandable. But eventually, he managed to have her come along with him. He would bring her to his home first then bring her to the hospital. His home was closer and he could have her washed up and change the bandages first, his mom should be able to take them to the hospital by car which would make things easier.

He was worried for her to be honest, the little girl in his arms at the moment looked positively terrified when she first saw him. What had happened to her to cause such a reaction?

He rushed upstairs to his apartment, making sure to keep a firm hold of the girl so as to not shake her too much. He rustled around in his pocket before pulling out his keys, opening the front door right as he unlocked it.

"Izuku? There you are! Young man, do you realise how late it is-Izuku?" His mother, Inko, walked out of the kitchen, her slightly angry features slowly morphed into confusion once she saw the injured little girl in his arms.

"Mom, she needs help." Izuku said with some steel in his tone.

Inko softened her gaze, immediately ushering him to get inside the house. She could put aside her anger for now, there's a little girl that needs some help at the moment. Izuku needed to inherit his heroic spirit from someone after all, and Midoriya Inko always lent a helping hand when a person was in need.

Izuku set the girl down on the sofa, sitting right beside her as he did so. Inko on the other hand knelt before the little girl, a kind smile on her face as she did so.

"Hey there, can you tell me your name?" Inko asked.

The girl looked nervous at first, looking towards Izuku with silent permission. The verdette gave her a nod as he smiled towards her, assuring her that it was alright to do so.

"...Eri." She softly answered.

"Eri, that's a beautiful name. My name is Inko, would you like something to eat? Maybe some sweets if you'd like some?" Inko asked, offering her a bowl of sweets towards her.

Eri looked towards it curiously, tilting her head in curiosity before looking at her in confusion. "Sweets?"

Both of their hearts tightened as they heard the sheer confusion in her voice, trying to control their emotions as they smiled at her.

Izuku took two of them from the bowl and offered them towards her, eating one of them to show that it was safe to eat.

"It's really good, you'll love it." He smiled down at her.

Eri looked towards the candy in curiosity, shakilly taking it before eating it. Her face lit up as it hit her taste buds, making her start to munch on the candy with slightly more vigour while looking at the rest of the sweets with some hesitation.

Inko, noticing it, decided to dash away her worries, "You can take more if you want, it's ok."

Eri looked shocked for a moment before nodding, slowly taking more of the candies as she ate it one by one.

As she did so, both mother and son were having a wordless conversation. Inko looked at Izuku with a questioning look, subtly asking where he had found her. Izuku merely shook his head, signalling that he would tell her later.

Inko sighed before standing up, telling them she would be right back before walking deeper into the apartment, leaving Izuku to amuse Eri all in his lonesome. By the time Inko made her way back to the living room, she was greeted by the sight of Eri leaning into Izuku as they both watched a magical girl anime.

Inko couldn't help but smile in amusement as she saw the completely awed look in Eri's eyes, slowly walking towards them as she placed the first aid kit and towel that she brought onto the table.

"Eri," She called out, making her flinch slightly before looking towards her. She could see the small fright in her eyes before it was hidden away again when she called for her, she had to suppress her anger when she saw it. Whoever had done this to her needs to pay.

She gently lifted up both of her arms, seeing the dirty and slightly torn bandages that were wrapped around it.

"We need to change these bandages, we might as well get you washed up if that's alright with you." Inko said softly.

Eri at first froze up, looking towards her slightly in fear as she looked unsure. Something that both Izuku and Inko noticed.

"What's wrong?" Inko asked.

Eri opened her mouth before closing it, however, a glance towards their concerns managed to make her build up the courage to speak.

"It hurts."

"What?" They asked simultaneously.

"It hurts when they remove it. Everything hurts when they get removed." She admitted.

"You mean your arms?" Izuku asked for clarification.

"No." She shook her head, "After they remove it, everything becomes painful."

Both of them looked towards each other wearily, just what had happened to her exactly?

"It's ok Eri," Izuku tried to assure her with a smile. "Things are gonna be fine, I promise you nothing will hurt you." He promised.

Eri looks unsure, but seeing the sheer warmth from Izuku's and care from Inko's made her nod.

Slowly, the pair got to work. Inko slowly unraveled the bandages as Izuku got started on preparing the bath for her. Eri of course was slightly nervous about everything, but these two had shown more kindness than she had ever gotten from anyone. So she decided to trust them both.

Inko gasped as she unraveled the bandages, seeing the scars that littered her arms. However, she hid her emotions as she moved on to her clothes. Eri doesn't need to start getting self-conscious about herself just because of her reactions.

By the time she managed to finish with her, Eri was now covered by a large white towel that completely covered her. Making her look like a giant snowball. Inko couldn't help but subtly take a pic of the adorable look.

She then carried her, slowly bringing her to the washroom where Izuku had already prepared the bath for her.

Izuku then left the two alone, best to let his mother handle Eri as she has more experience in this subject.

"Izuku!" Inko called out, pausing Izuku in his steps. "Can you bring some of your old clothes here for Eri? I also left some food for you on the table, so you can eat it after you get the clothes for her"

"Sure!"

After getting the clothes to his mother, he made his way to the table and ate in silence. His mind however was filled with worry. Eri's words had really made him concerned for her. But what could he do? He could send her to the police but that might make Eri wearier, he could also send her to the hospital but the same problem would also occur. She would need to stay with them and part of him was rather adamant about Eri staying with him and his mother for now. Didn't help that Eri would probably want to stay with them. She was slowly coming to trust them but he could see there were still doubts and fear in her eyes.

He swore he's going to find whoever did this to her and give them hell. But for now, he will worry about that later, a little girl needs help at the moment.

He gave a glance towards his phone, an idea slowly forming inside his head. He does have her contact number...

Decisions made, he unlocked his phone and scrolled through his contacts until he lay eyes on his target. Immediately clicking on the name and waiting for the other person to pick up.

"Hello Midoriya-kun, what do you need?"

"Hey Nagant-sensei, I kinda have a problem right now. I might need your help."

That night, the three were making their way towards UA. Their car slowed down as they parked right beside the entrance gate. No one was around anyways and it was an emergency so it wouldn't bother anyone.

Right in front of the gate stood Lady Nagant, waiting patiently for them.

Thank god she decided not to do any patrol tonight since the sports festival just ended earlier, she needed a rest. But since a student of hers needs her help, well, she could take a break later anyways.

The family stepped out of the car, revealing themselves to her. Inko was wearing something simple, a pink jacket and a long black skirt. Izuku on the other hand was wearing a green jacket with a black shirt underneath paired with long black pants along with his signature red shoes.

However the most eye-catching thing about them was the little girl holding Izuku's hand, Eri was looking around nervously as she tightly gripped Izuku's hand. Since they didn't really have any clothes for girls in their house and those that did match her age were Izuku's old clothes. So now here she was, wearing a slightly oversized All Might hoodie with the hood up along with black shorts. She was also wearing slightly oversized red shoes, matching Izuku. There were also clean bandages that could be seen beneath the sleeves, but with how big the hoodie was the bandages were pretty hidden.

Inko had taken quite a few pictures when they had gotten out because of how cute she looked, much to Eri's confusion and Izuku's amusement.

"Midoriya-kun, Miss Midoriya." Nagant called out, giving them both a nod.

"Thanks for letting us come at this hour, sensei." Izuku thanked her.

"What with the festival just ending, I'm sure you're tired and we're really sorry for inconveniencing you with this." Inko apologised.

Nagant merely waved it off, "It's fine Miss Midoriya, a student of mine needed help and I'll be damned if I did nothing about it. Besides, it's what heroes do after all. " Her words made both of them smile, thankful she was willing to help them out.

"This is the girl you told me about?" Nagant then looked down towards Eri with a kind smile.

Izuku nodded, "Yes sensei, I didn't really elaborate much on the phone so I'll explain as we walk if that's ok with you."

"Of course, come on, let's get inside. It's getting cold out here." Nagant invited them in.

As they walked, Izuku explained how he had found Eri and what had happened afterwards with a few clarifications from his mother. Eri on the other hand was content to remain silent as she nervously kept close to Izuku.

The halls were still brightly lit as they walked through the school but there were a few dark hallways, making it clear that only certain parts of the school were still currently in use.

"And that's about it." Izuku finished, making Nagant nod from his words.

"I see, that is rather concerning. I'll bring it up to Nezu and see what he can do, but trust me we will investigate it." Nagant assured them, making them nod in gratitude. She managed to hide it well but if one were to look at her eyes they could see them hardening. She had done some pretty nasty things back when working for the HPSC but from what Izuku had told her, it seemed like someone had been abusing the kid, which just disturbed her even more than anything.

Sometimes she was still surprised by how cruel people could be.

"Still, I'm surprised you actually called me for this. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't but I thought you'd be talking with the police first or something." Nagant remarked with an inquisitive look towards Izuku, trying to shake away her dark thoughts while questioning him.

The verdette however just chuckled sheepishly at that. "I did think about it but I feel like it would take too much time and might even force Eri to be away from us, which might not be a good idea." He explained while subtly looking towards Eri, Nagant even nodded in understanding when she looked at the little girl, noticing how nervous she was and keeping herself close to Izuku and Inko.

"And so you decided to call me instead, allowing you to ask for help while also getting her checked up instantly with Recovery Girl. Smart." Nagant complimented, making him chuckle from her words.

"Thanks, Sensei."

They then finally arrived at the infirmary, the lights were on and they could faintly hear some grumbling inside showing that Recovery Girl might have already arrived here.

"We're here." Nagant remarked, opening the door for them and letting the family in first before entering herself.

"Granny, we're here!" Nagant called out, making both Inko and Izuku blink a bit at the casual way the heroine addressed the old woman.

"I know! I heard the door, I know I'm old but I'm not deaf yet." Recovery Girl grumbled as she stepped out of another room connected to the infirmary, possibly her office. "And what did I tell you about calling me that way in front of other people?"

"Not to call you Granny, but really since when have I cared?"

Recovery Girl sighed at that before looking towards Izuku in slight exasperation in her voice. "What kind of trouble did you get yourself into this time?"

Izukuwas not sure if he should be offended or embarrassed when his own mother laughed at her words. He wasn't that bad, was he?

Thankfully, Nagant quickly explained the issue, with each word slowly making Recovery Girl's eyes harden as she gripped her cane tighter. After Nagant finished explaining, the old heroine had to take a deep breath to calm herself down before she could check on Eri.

"I see," She sighed, visibly gaining a few years as she looked at the little girl with some hidden pity in her eyes.

"Come now, let's get her checked up. Put her on the bed." She ordered, making Inko slowly move Eri towards the bed as commanded.

Izuku however stayed back with Nagant as they watched Recovery Girl do her job with Inko making sure Eri was comfortable.

"You know you might need to take care of her, right?" Nagant pointed out, "She seemed rather attached to you and your mother."

Izuku nodded at that, "I know, I might not be able to be there much but I think my mom can help with taking care of her. Of course, I'll try my best to help her as well."

Nagant nodded at that, "Ever the hero huh, your mother also seemed to be really used to this."

"Oh yeah," Izuku's eyes lightened up. "She used to be a nurse and had experience treating kids back in her old job. Now she just stays at home really since money wasn't really much of a problem for us but we lived pretty minimally." He explained.

After his father died, most of his possessions just went to them. They were rather surprised by the amount of money he had left behind as it was enough to make sure they could live comfortably for a while if they used it smartly. Add that with some investments he made, they could live a pretty comfortable life. His mother had cried to herself several times when she saw the amount of effort his father had put in to make sure their family stayed afloat even when he was gone.

It was really admirable.

"makes sense." Nagant nodded at that.

A ping from his phone alerted him, making him pull it out and check who it was that messaged him. It was from Yui.

'You there?' She asked.

'I'm here, what's up?'

'Bored really and well I just wanted to talk to you, what are you doing right now?'

'In UA actually, I had an emergency and I needed Recovery Girl's and Nagant-sensei's help with it.'

'Oh my god, are you ok?' Came the instant reply.

'Yeah I'm fine, it's nothing that involved me. Can't really explain it in text so I'll tell you about it later.'

'You better, I just got you and I intend for you to stick around for a long time.' Her reply made him chuckle a bit.

'Of course, I'm not planning to lose you anytime soon either.'

"Alright," Recovery Girl sighed, snapping Izuku out of his reverie. "I'll get everything checked out, so you need to stay here for a moment." She said before entering her office.

Izuku then made his way to Eri and sat beside her on the bed, letting her lean into him.

"I'll be right back, I need to go to the washroom." Inko told them both before walking out of the infirmary, Nagant following her to show her the directions. Leaving only the two of them inside the infirmary. The silence permeated the room but it was a comfortable one.

"She's nice." Eri suddenly spoke out.

"You mean my mom?" Izuku asked for clarification, making her nod.

"Yeah, are all moms like that?" She asked innocently.

Izuku nodded, "Yep, all moms are like that. They help their kids grow and make sure they are happy."

Eri hummed at that, seeming to understand what he was trying to say. "What about dads then?"

Izuku stopped for a moment, his mind flashing to his own father before smiling as he spoke. "They are the ones that make sure their kids feel safe. That no matter what happens, they can always be relied on to keep the family safe and happy."

"Then," Eri paused before looking up at him. "Can you be my dad?"

The question caught him off guard, making him widen his eyes as he looked at her in shock.

"W-well," He stammered, trying to answer as articulately as possible even under her innocent but vulnerable gaze. "That's up to you Eri, do you really want me to? I mean we just met after all."

Eri nodded, "Dads are supposed to make you feel safe right? You make me feel safe, you feel warm and kind. Then, doesn't that mean you can be my dad?"

Izuku's features slowly softened as he hugged her close to him, his eyes watering slightly from her words.

"Y-yeah, I'll be your dad Eri. The best dad that you'll ever have." His voice cracks up, but there was a certain steel that can be heard in his tone.

He had made a promise now and he was going to keep it.

Eri slowly started to smile at that, it was not a wide one but only a small upturn of her lips. But to Izuku, it was the most precious thing that he had ever seen.

"Thank you." She said before leaning into the hug.

It took a while, but Izuku had finally calmed down enough to think properly. He idly realised that Eri had fallen asleep in his arms, making him smile.

A ping from his phone alerted him, making him realise that he was still talking to Yui earlier.

'You still there?' She asked.

'Yeah I'm still here, hey Yui what do you think about being a mom?' He doesn't really know why he was asking this but he had already pressed send the moment he finished typing it.

'I'm a mommy now? I didn't know you're into that kind of thing but I can work with it.'

'Yui no-'

[-]

A couple of days later, Izuku could be seen walking towards Dagobah Beach direction as the class had promised to meet up there. Right beside him was his mother and in between them was Eri.

His mother had thought it would be a good idea to have Eri try to be around more people and maybe have some fun outside. Since he was already heading to the beach anyway with his friends, might as well have both his mother and Eri come along.

They had gone on a shopping spree the very next day, buying some clothes for Eri since it's all but confirmed now that she was living with them. They were still waiting for Nezu to inform them of anything but for now, Eri would be staying with them.

So here they were, Izuku wearing an unbuttoned white shirt with black shorts along with a pair of flip flops. His own mother was wearing something a bit more modest as she wore a green sundress with a bright yellow hat since she didn't plan to swim. Between them stood Eri, who was also wearing a bright yellow sundress. They also brought a basket filled with food, an umbrella, a large blanket and a bag full of clothes and towels.

Here they stood before the beach, which was filled with people playing or swimming around, generally having quite a wonderful time with each other. Since the place had been cleaned up, it had once more become a popular tourist attraction.

All three made their way into the beach, finding a good place for them to set the picnic. There was a lot of space for them so it didn't take long for them to set up a place.

With everything set up, Izuku smiled towards Inko.

"I'll go meet up with my friends, Mom, if you need anything just call me. I'll get going now alright Eri?" He said towards them both.

Eri gave a hesitant nod while Inko chuckled. "Go on then, I'm sure they're waiting for you already. I'll stay with little Eri here."

With another smile, Izuku nods and heads off. Walking around the beach while searching for his friends. He would have stayed around with them but his mom insisted that he spent time with his friends while she stayed with Eri.

The past few days had been spent with him talking to Yui and Momo with a few scant conversations in the group chat that Mina had created for both classes. There was some slight awkwardness when he was talking with Momo considering that he was in a relationship but Yui had promised and assured him that she would talk to Momo about it and he could just keep on talking with her.

Some part of him was nervous and felt like an asshole for hiding it from Momo. He sorely wants to tell her but he can't because Yui didn't want him to until she talked to her about it. There's also the fact that Yui was apparently ok with it and wanted Momo to join in on their relationship. Was this what they call a polyamorous relationship?

"Izuku! Over here!" A voice called over, making him snap out of his reverie and look up.

There was Itsuka waving towards him along with some of his other classmates. There were also 1-B students standing around, helping them set up the picnic as well. There were still a few of them missing but most of them were here already. They must have been really excited to go to the beach.

Izuku immediately went towards them. "Hey, Itsuka! Everyone not here yet?"

"Nope," The redhead shook her head, "Some of them were still on their way, we're almost finished with everything here so you could just relax if you want." She said, making him nod his head in understanding.

Now that he stood near her, he could finally get a good look at her. She wore a two piece teal bikini which barely held back her breast in place thanks to how small it was and really accentuated her hips, it also allowed him to see her rather toned body. He had to take a deep breath to calm himself and not lose composure. However, Itsuka had already noticed how hard he was staring at her.

"What do you think? Looks pretty good right?" She asked with a slightly teasing smile.

"Yeah, you look fantastic." He answered, the words coming out of his mouth easily.

Itsuka giggled slightly from his words, happy to hear it. She had actually asked Setsuna for some help with it since she was never really good with the more girly stuff. At first, she was a bit embarrassed with what Setsuna had picked for her but after hearing Izuku's words, it had made her really glad that she had come to her instead.

"Izuku." Another voice calls out, making Izuku blink and look towards the source. This time he didn't bother with suppressing his blush as he knew that it would be a worthless cause.

There stood both Yui and Momo. Yui wore a black one piece bikini that really hugged her figure, there was also an open space that trailed down to her abdomen, revealing a deep cleavage and her taut stomach. The straps of her bikini only went around her neck, allowing her to reveal her back.

Momo on the other hand wore a slightly too small two piece red bikini. The top could barely hold back her breast and the whole thing pretty much left nearly nothing to the imagination. It also revealed the surprisingly rather toned body of hers. Making him realize how well built she was.

"Izuku?" Momo's words snapped him out of his staring, allowing him to notice the slightly blushing Momo and the smug looking Yui. "You're staring."

"S-sorry." He apologised.

"It's fine." Momo waved it off, part of her really liked the fact that she managed to capture so much of his attention.

However, a soft nudge from Yui snapped her out of it and made her realise there was a reason why they had approached him.

"We, uh, we should talk. Somewhere private." Momo said while giving a quick glance towards Itsuka, making Izuku blink before looking at Yui.

"You told her?" Izuku asked.

"I did, now's the best time for it anyway." Yui confirmed, making Izuku look at Momo in shock who was trying to avoid his gaze.

Itsuka on the other hand was looking at them in confusion, what do they need to talk about that requires such secrecy?

Izuku on the other hand gulped before sighing. "Sure, come on."

Welp, time to face the music.
