Izuku was antsy and it wasn't exactly hard to tell. He was fidgeting and bouncing his leg up and down as he sat on the couch. Hizashi came over and sat with the nervous boy and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Hey little listener. I know you're worried but it really is going to be fine. And even if it somehow goes terribly, it's not the end of the world. It's just dinner."

"It's not just dinner." He looked to the side in embarrassment. "You three have become like family to me. I don't know how to handle you fighting with my other family."

"Oh, there's nothing 'like' about it, Kiddo. You're part of this family. And with us getting along, you don't need to worry about that. We're grownups, if we disagree then that's between us. It's our job as mature adults to handle it without putting it on the kids."

Izuku still had a slight look of doubt, but the hero understood it would take time for Izuku to learn that he didn't need to carry everything on his own shoulders. He was just a kid and they would do everything in their power to have him actually live like one, even though he had god-like abilities.

The reason for Izuku's nerves knocked on the door. After a moment a grumpy Aizawa, with Eri following close behind, made his way over and let their guests enter. In walked his dad and Tomura, for once dressing like normal people, rather than being in their respective villain outfits.

Hizashi walked over to the super villains with a smile. "So, you must be the Shigaraki's." He looked at the older of the two. "We met briefly at that meeting a week or two ago, but I don't believe your son was in attendance."

"Ah, yes. This is my adopted son Tomura. Tomura, this is Hizashi Yamada and Shouta AIzawa, they are the heroes that have been taking care of Izuku the last few months." He chuckled for a moment. "I never realized just how similar our names are, Hizashi and Hisashi."

Tomura smeared slightly at the mention of them being heroes, but didn't say anything past that. At this point a little girl stuck her head out from behind Aizawa's legs where she'd been hiding. "Hi… I'm Eri. Are you my new big brother?"

He looked down at her with confusion and frustration. "Why would I be your brother?" He gestures at the two heroes. "I'm definitely not their kid."

"...But, big brother Izuku said you're his big brother. And if you're his brother and he's mine, doesn't that mean you're my brother too?"

"You don't want to be my sister. Last time I had a sister I turned her to dust with the rest of my family. That's why Sen-" he paused for a moment, "dad, took me in. So, unless you want to go poof like they did, find someone else to be all friendly with."

Izuku was definitely surprised by that change. Had Tomura finally gone from calling their dad Sensei? And on top of that their dad seemed totally okay with it as well. He'd definitely have to ask them about that later, but he was really happy that their dad had been treating Tomura more like a son and less like a project.

Eri nodded slowly, but didn't seem dissuaded. "I made my family go poof too. When my horn gets glowy the people I touch disappear forever. Well, my mommy didn't go poof, but she sold me to the bad people and Papa said that means she isn't my mommy anymore."

Hizashi nodded with a smile, glad that she'd remembered their talk about how family members that sell you to the Yakuza aren't your family.

Tomura stared at her for a while, clearly not expecting them to have that trauma in common.

He looked her up and down with curiosity in his eyes. "Huh, I guess you are kind of like me. We have the same hair and eye color, we have quirks that killed our families and destroy what we touch, we needed saving but the heroes didn't help us. You're like the young version of me, since you got rescued by Izuku but I got rescued by his dad."

"Does that mean I get to be your little sister?"

"Sure, whatever. But I don't want to hear you getting all excited over stupid heroes."

She gave him a tiny smile before pausing and giving a little shrug. "Um, I don't really care about most heroes. I just like my daddy and my papa and their friends since they take care of me and are super nice."

He thought about that for a moment. He supposed he only hated the heroes that ignored kids in need like him, so if they actually did take care of dangerous kids that were alone, then they were alright in his book. But he would still keep an eye on them in case they turned out to suck and he needed to kill them. Plus, since she didn't seem to like other heroes too much she could help him murder all the heroes they didn't like.

"That makes sense. You'll make a good player two."

"Player two? Oh, like a video game. Are you good at those?"

"Of course, you little brat. I'm the best at video games."

She pouted at him. "I'm not a brat…"

"Yeah yeah, did you have any games?"

"Uh huh. Can you help me get past this one part? It's super hard and I can't get to the next part."

"Probably, what game is it?"

"Uhhh, it's the one with Barbie and you have to save the farm from the bad guys."

He had a look of deep concentration, the way he always did when video games came up, which was the only thing he cared about more than hating heroes and pleasing All for One.

"That describes a few games. Does your farm sit on a cloud or is it on the ground?"

Eri was clearly excited about the idea of someone else caring about her fun game. "It's in a cloud!"

"Okay, do you actually do farming in the game, or do you mostly just fly around doing quests with your pegasus?"

"Pegasus! I named her snowball! We do all kinds of stuff together and it's super fun!"

"Okay, then that's Barbie's Horse Adventures 27, Return of the Sky Kingdom. There's a few parts where the quests have a sudden difficulty jump with the escort missions, but I can show you how to beat them."

Eri clearly didn't know what most of those words meant but was also happy that her brand new brother was going to help her and Snowball save the day. They both went off to her room to play videogames as the remaining four people in the room were dumbfounded by how well they got along. Izuku pondered the fact that the only difference between the two is how they were treated by their saviors.

Izuku made sure Eri ended up in a safe home she could thrive in, but his dad was admittedly not as attentive to Tomura and let him fester in his anger without seeing a problem with that. It really would have been so easy for that sweet little girl to have been set on Tomura's path of rage because of the cruelties life had given them.

Aizawa just blinked slowly as he watched the two leave to play horse games. "I don't know what I expected to happen, but it definitely wasn't that. He must be a big fan of video games if he's even familiar with obscure games I don't even remember getting her."

All for One simply chuckled. "That he is. Honestly, I struggle in getting him to care about anything else. He was homeschooled and is definitely intelligent, but he doesn't really have any aspirations or plans that work long term."

Hizashi seemed like he was on the verge of tears. "It's bad enough Eri went through all of that, but the fact that there's another child in the same circumstances is heartbreaking. There's something to be said about Tomura's frustration at heroes, there really are a lot of people that need help that we can't reach for some reason or another. Most often it's just because we don't know that they need it."

Izuku gave him a deep hug. "It's alright, no one expects you to be perfect." He paused as he realized that a lot of people expected heroes to be perfect. "Well, that might not be true, but at the very least I don't. You do your best to help and protect people, and I think that's enough."

Izuku didn't see it with his back turned, but All for One's smile had gotten a bit more strained during that heartfelt moment between the two. He didn't want Izuku to have such deep trust and understanding with these heroes. But he wouldn't do anything to interfere, that would only frame himself as the enemy. That said, he didn't mind the idea of leading the villains while Izuku led the heroes, neither side knowing that the two were working together and subtly taking over the world as father and son.

Aizawa looked at Izuku for a moment. "How about you go hang out with the other kids until dinner is ready so the three of us can talk."

"Um, sure."

"And don't even think about trying to eavesdrop with super hearing, I will know, and you will be in big trouble."

Izuku blushed and quickly made his way to Eri's room, because he had definitely been planning on doing that. Eri gave him a big smile and sat on his lap. They didn't chat much outside of what was happening in the game but he still had fun just watching them play the confusing horse game and he felt like all three of them were a family even if they didn't have the same biological parents.

As Izuku left the room Aizawa turned and stared intensely at All for One.

"Let me make something very clear. I do not like you and I do not trust you. You've been a decent parent to Izuku and you've cut back on nearly all criminal activity, so I won't do anything for now. But I want something to be well understood." Aizawa's eyes began to glow an intense red.

"If you start hurting people again, I will kill you. Because even if it would make Izuku hate me, I won't let you create any more orphans." In a flash he had the tip of a knife pointed directly at the villain's heart. "Am I understood?"

The ancient villain managed to remain completely calm, even though he couldn't access his quirks and his life was being threatened. "Should I recognize you beyond our last meeting? Your eyes seem oddly familiar…" After a few moments he snapped his fingers in realization. "Oh, that's what it is. You're part of that family with the meta-quirks, they all had black eyes that turned red when angry and most of them could block or alter quirks in some way."

Aizawa pressed the knife a bit harder so he'd be able to feel the sharpness of the blade on the verge of ripping into his flesh. "I said. Do. You. Understand?"

"That's what this is about isn't it? I've killed a good portion of your ancestors, probably someone close to you too by the way you're looking at me. So go ahead, stab me in the heart while I'm vulnerable, get your vengeance, give in to that rage."

"I really should. After all the people you've hurt I should just kill you now. But I won't. Because that kid thinks you can change, that you've been turning over a new leaf." He blinked and let his quirk fade. "So you better prove him right, show the world how your power could be used for good. Or you can return to your old ways, and I'll be there, ready to gut you like a fish."

He sheathed his knife and started walking into the kitchen to finish up dinner when he paused. "And for the record, you killed my grandfather, he was that thorn in your side that used chains."

All for One just gave him a pleasant smile. "Fascinating, I hadn't realized he'd had children. Anyways, I plan to stay on this side of the law for the foreseeable future. Living as Hisashi the businessman, quirk researcher, and father has actually been quite pleasant so I doubt you'll need to gut me anytime soon. Now, do you two want any help with dinner?"
