Now to answer Reviews:
TheGallopingCupcake: Yay! I am glad you really like the Dadzawa scene. I felt bad for chapters 1 and 2 ending bad for Midoriya, so I wanted to end things on a lighter note (And Dadzawa is one of my favorite things ever(along with Dad Might)). I do plan to add more Dadzawa in the fic...Can you imagine the reaction he would have when learning what All Might did with his Quirk and passed it down to Midoriya? I can and I can't wait to write it.
As for the lasting effects of Asa's Quirk, they will be there. And Bakugo will not be helping things either.
Good thing Midoriya will have Dadzawa there to protect him!
I am also glad that you are enjoying this fic so far! It means alot to me.
Now it is on to the next chapter!
The days quickly passed and soon Izuku Midoriya was released from the hospital. However, instead of returning to the old familiar home he knew, his mother took a different turn. Looking at her in confusion, Izuku wondered where they were going. His mother gave a sad smile as she explained.
"Izuku," Inko began, noticing her son's confusion. "Momma had a talk with someone while you were in the hospital. We came to the agreement that for you, we needed to move."
Izuku looked at his momma, tears threatening to overflow. Was this all his fault?
"Now sweetie, momma wants the best for you," Inko replied, trying to quell her boy's fear. "And the nice principal at UA..."
"U-u-A?" Izuku stammered. UA was the best school for heroes. It was also the school that All Might attended. It was Izuku's dream to attend there someday.
Inko laughed, glad to see her baby in a slightly better mood.
"Yes, the principle offered us a place close to the school," she said, "to help tutor you on anything you may missed."
The last part was a lie. Inko couldn't bring herself to tell her baby the truth about their move.
"No worries, Mrs. Midoriya," came a new voice. "It has been taken care of. If you come with me, we can discuss it."
Inko looked down to see a small creature walk up to the doctor and her. With a cheerful grin, he took her hand and walked down the hall with the doctor following right behind them.
"My name is Nezu and I am the principal at UA High School." The small figure said. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Midoriya."
"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Mr. Nezu." Inko said.
Nezu chuckled, as they turned the corner and walked into an empty conference room.
"Please call me Nezu, or Mr. Principal if you prefer." Nezu replied with a smile.
Inko returned his smille slightly, still wondering why the principle of such a prestigious school was here.
"Now, onto business." The small principal said with a grin. "You may not of known this, but one of our own faculty members came to the rescue of you and your son. And after reviewing the circumstances of this incident..."
Here it comes, Inko thought with dread. I am going to have to pay for compensation.
"We, the faculty of UA, feel it is necessary to put you and Izuku under our protection," Nezu said. "And we agreed that the best way to do so, is for you both to move closer to our school."
Mrs. Midorya could not believe it. The principal wanted no compensation for the trouble her family put them through.
Sensing her shock, Nezu continued.
"Mrs. Midoriya, my faculty and I could hardly call ourselves heroes if we wanted you to pay us for helping you out." The principal stated, "We would be less of ones, if we didn't help you out in your time of need."
"You couldn't possibly mean..."
"You will not have to worry about your son's medical expenses. Or any moving expense," Nezu added. "We will take care of them."
Silence fell between them. Fighting back tears, Inko Midoriya thanked the principal for all that he offered.
"Thank you so much," she said. "I do not know how to repay you."
"Just encourage your boy to grow up as strong as he can be." The principal added.
As they pulled up to their new home, Izuku could feel the excitment building. Eraserhead was going to help him catch up in school? He couldn't believe it. He couldn't wait to tell all his friends!
Needless to say, it took young Midoriya awhile to settle down and get to sleep. He had to explore his new home.
Running up and down the hallways, he picked out his room and began to "unpack". Fortunately, Momma came in and helped with organizing his things. After dinner, Izuku rushed through his bath and tried to settle down for bed.
"I can't wait to tell everyone!" He said, as his momma tucked him in. "They are going to think it is so cool!"
"Now, Izuku, I think everyone would like to know why you were gone so long, before hearing about your tutors are going to be." Inko replied with a slight chuckle. She was glad to see her baby feeling better.
Snuggling deeper into his All Might sheets, Izuku feel into the first deep sleep he had in many months.
All was dark. Izuku was running, trying to find his way home. Behind him, he could hear heavy footsteps chasing him.
Momma, he silently cried, momma! Where are you? I need help!
The footsteps got closer as Izuku tripped (painconfusionfear. HeLP MoMMa!). The small boy scrambled to get back to his feet, not wanting who was behind him catch him (MoMMA! MomMa!).
Where are you going, QuIrKlEsS? The person behind him sneered.
Izuku's blood froze as he felt a hand grab at him.
Did you honestly think that you could escape me?! The being picked Izuku up, the smaller boy whimpering, wanting this nightmare to end. Did ya? QuIrKlEsS?
Red blossomed into Izuku's sight (bloodpainbloodBLOODhurtMommaHelp!) as he saw the face of his tormentor. Tears fell freely, as he could see Asa's face sneering at him.
You are nothing, QuIrKlEsS, His cousin hissed. You are just a burden on Auntie.
(midoriya...)
Izuku tried to thrash out of the hands gripping him, fearing what was going to happen next.
(I-izuku, honey...)
He couldn't break free, as Asa slammed his smaller form into the ground (momma...HeLp...me). Gasping for air, Izuku tried to get away.
(MIDORIYA WAKE UP!)
Hearing a different voice calling him, Izuku looked up and all he could see was a light...
Emerald snapped open with a scream. His heart racing, Izuku looked to see who had saved him from the nightmare. He could see his momma standing behind a man who was becoming all to familiar to him.
"E-eraserhead?" He stammered in confusion. Was he awake? Or was this the dream?
Aizawa breathed a small sigh of relief. At least the boy was able to wake up.
"W-why a-are y-ou h-here, s-sir?" The young Midoriya asked, looking like he was trying to fight back tears.
"I had come over to help your mother take you to school," The hero explained, covering up his true intentions. He had actually wanted to check up on the boy and it was a good thing he did.
Turning his attention to his momma, Izuku began to cry.
"It hurts, momma," he said. "It hurts.."
"What hurts, sweetie? Inko asked her baby boy.
"Everything." Izuku replied, reaching out for a hug.
As he did, the top blanket shifted on the bed. With its movement, a truth was revealed. Bright pools of blood shone in the light, showing that some of Izuku's old wounds had reopened.
Or worse, Aizawa thought, hoping his worse fears to not be true.
As he looked the boy over, the hero saw that what he was dreading was true. New wounds had blossomed across the tiny boy's back. Turning to Mrs. Midoriya, Aizawa gave a quiet nod. They had to get young Midoriya to the hospital.
But the closest one was miles away.
An idea slowly crept into the Capture hero's mind. But would she agree to this?
Shaking his head, Aizawa knew the truth. As heroes, it was their duty to protect the innocent. And what better place to protect this boy, than U.A.?
End of Chapter 4
A/N (p.s. edition): I realize I am being mean to our poor little Midoriya...I am sorry. But it is for the good of the story!
For those of you wondering, Yes All Might will be in this. There will be a time skip in the next chapter. But for now, can you imagine little Izuku running about the halls of U.A. with potential heroes chasing him to make sure that he doesn't hurt himself? You can, good. See you next chapter!
