Chapter 6
After explaining what was happening with One for All, Recovery girl healed me until all I was left with was soreness. I was released and went home, my mom was worried and started to fuss over me, I smiled and told her I was alright.
I got an email from Melissa, she was upset that I damaged the support gear, but was thankful for me saving her uncle. She said she could make a new shield but it will take a while, I sent her a thankful reply.
We got 2 days off from school so that they could check up on their security. I was in my room, laying in bed reading a magazine.
My phone rang on my nightstand, I picked it up and took a look, it was from Kirishima, "Are you free to hang out today?" I blinked and got up, "Hey mom, can I go hang out with some friends today?" I called as I found her in the living room, she stayed quiet for a moment before she burst into tears.
"MY BABY HAS FRIENDS?!" She cried, I waved my arms frantically, "M-mom!" I was able to calm her down after 5 minutes, she said yes with a happy smile, glad I was hanging out with friends.
I understood how she felt, I sent a text back to Kirishima, "Sure, send me the details."
After Kirishima sent me the location of the meeting place, I took a shower and put on some blue pants, white shirt and a light blue hoodie, along with my signature red shoes, I left after saying bye to mom and made my way to the meeting place.
The place where we were meeting was a park that was close to a mall, I forgot the name, sue me for forgetting, not perfect, I waited by a fountain as I checked the time, I was … 10 minutes early. I sighed, "Yo!" I looked up from my phone to see Kirishima walking towards me, I waved him over.
"So first one here." We bumped fists, "Who else did you invite?" I asked.
"Oh I invited, Ashido, Uraraka, Iida, Camie." He listed, "I also tried to invite Bakugo but he said no." I understood why Kirishima wanted to befriend Bakugo, he was hardcore and Kirshima was inspired by that.
Mina arrived next, Iida arrived right on time, Ochako and Camie arrived at the same time and when they saw me...
"YOU DIDN'T NEED TO FIGHT, WHY DID YOU TRY TO THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN SAFETY!" They screeched as they pulled on my ears, Iida was trying to stop them, Kirishima and Mina were staying out of it.
"Okay girls give him some space." Mina slowly pulled the two girls away, "Thank you Mina." I sighed, rubbing my ears.
Ochako crossed her arms, her expression was one of worry. "Deku, we were really worried." I bit my lip.
"Sorry.." I apologized. I did feel bad about worrying my friends, but I needed to do something about future events.
Camie put her hands on her hips, "Deku, we're still heroes in training, it was admirable to take charge but you nearly got yourself killed." She spoke in a serious tone, I was surprised since she was so laid back in the anime and manga.
I rubbed the back of my neck, "I couldn't help it, my body moved on it's own." I explained.
Mina gave me a smile, "Well then you're in the right course." I looked at Mina and grinned, "Yeah."
"Hey, come on, we're here to hang out and have fun, how about we go to the arcade?" Kirishima stepped in.
We all agreed, walking to the nearest arcade, I took a good look around, I've been to Japan in my previous life, in this superhuman society, it was beautiful. I looked at my friends, my first battle with villains, they put their trust in me, I was able to save Aizawa and Thirteen, no casualties.
There was still a lot that was gonna happen, I needed to prepare everyone- Camie poked my cheek, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Hey you okay?" She asked with a frown on her face, I gave her a smile, "I'm alright." I assured her, but for now, I just wanted to have fun with my new friends.
We made it to the arcade, I was surprised by how modern it looked, sure there were some futuristic looking games, well I guess quirks became the forefront of technology. I saw kids using their quirks during certain games, guess it was allowed.
We got 10 tokens each, Iida got 5 since games weren't his forte, "Okay, we'll meet back here in-" I looked at the clock, 11:14 AM, "12:20, then we can go to get lunch." I told my friends, we split up, I walked around, not sure what to play.
I tried my luck on a shooting game, I grinned, still got my good aim, I put the plastic gun down, I continued to walk around.
I ran into Kirishima watching someone on an All Might themed punching game, I walked up to him, "Hey bro." He greeted me staring at the game, I looked at the game, the scoreboard was different from the one back home, instead of 3 digits, it was 4. The highest score was 4291.
I whistled. "You wanna give it a shot?" I asked, the redhead nodded, "Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to get a high score like that." He points to the high score. I nudged his shoulder, "Don't sell yourself short."
The kid up front got a score of 1520, Kirishima went up next, inserting a token, rolling his sleeve up and hardened his arm, he threw his hardest punch and the score went up to 642. Well Kirishima's quirk only gave him defence, not much offense.
He shrugged, "I kinda expected that." He shook his hand, "What about you?" Kirishima looked at me, I hummed, "Okay." I inserted a token and powered up my arm with 8% One for All, "Alright." I cocked my arm back.
"Detroit Smash!" I let the punch fly, hitting the machine, everyone around us stopped as they felt the wind from my punch, the machine processed my strike and showed my score.
4722, I smirked, shaking my hand. The other teens around us looked at us shocked.
"Bro you beat the highscore!" Kirshima shook my shoulder, I gave him a smile, "Well I do have a good punch." I commented as we left.
We found Iida watching Ochako as she tried her luck on the claw machine. She was trying to get a Kirby plushie, I stifled a laugh, everyone called Ochako Kirby because of how similar they were.
"How long has she been going at this?" Kirishima asked Iida, 'Right after we split up. We almost finished our tokens." I flinched hearing this, Ochako hit her head against the glass after losing, I put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Uraraka.. Do you need help?" I asked, she slowly nodded and moved aside, I inserted a token and started to move the claw to the plushie. I slowly positioned it over the plushie, I pressed the button and the claw descended.
It missed, my eyebrow twitched, I tried again. Miss. I took a deep breath and slowly moved the claw, I pressed the button again, lowering the claw.
The claw closes around the plushie and pulls it up, The plushie drops into the rewards hole and I take it out, I smile, "Tada!" Ochako hugged it smiling with a blush on her face, "Thanks Deku!" Kirishima laughed leaning in, "She kinda looks like Kirby." I nodded.
We walked around and found Camie and Mina on Just Dance machine, we watched as Mina decimated Camie.
Mina wins and hops on her tiptoes, "Woohoo! I win!" Mina cheered, Camie pants pouting, "You just have more practice."
Mina sees us, "Hey guys, you finished with your tokens?" I held up the only one I had left, Kirishima had none, Ochako blushed embarrassed nodding as she held her Kirby plushie. "I gave mine to Uraraka." Iida replied.
Mina smirked at me, Oh crap… "Midori, You, Me, Now." I sighed, slipping off my jacket and handed it to Ochako who held it close, blushing.
I stepped onto the platform, I stretched, Mina hummed as she looked through the list of songs, "Aha, here we are, I'll go easy on you~?" Mina winked at me, "Appreciate it." I looked at the song, Chris Brown, Turn up the music.
I gulped and got ready, the song started and I followed the moves on the screen, I tried my best to keep my movements fluid and bury any embarrassment.
The song picks up, I kept my full attention on the screen, I followed the rhythm, I looked at Mina who was way ahead of me, I tried to keep up but I kept making mistakes.
Before I knew it, the song was over, I stopped panting, Mina won, but I was close behind her, "Whoa Midori, you didn't tell me you could break down!" Mina got in front of my face, she had an excited grin on her face.
I blushed and took a step back, "I can't." I replied, I was surprised myself. "Well maybe you just have a talent for it." Camie suggested with a smile, "You looked hot dancing like that." Ochako's blush made it clear she agreed.
Kirishima gave me a small rag, I took it and wiped the sweat away, "Thanks." I sighed. Mina stepped up behind me, "Another round!" I shook my head making her pout.
We left the arcade feeling hungry, I put my hoodie back on, "So where do you guys wanna go?"
"Oh how about a Mcdonalds?" Mina suggested, I sweatdrop, even in another world, Mcdonald's is a thing. Everyone agreed, we made our way to the closest Mcdonald's.
We arrived at a Mcdonal's, gave our orders and got a table for 6. "So Deku." I looked to Camie, "Back at the USJ, what was with those black tentacles?" I felt my eye twitch, the others look at me with interest.
"I must admit, I myself am curious about it, was that a new aspect of your quirk?" Iida asked, "But it has nothing to do with super strength." Ochako interjected.
I sighed, "My quirk isn't really super strength." I told them, "My quirk is stockpiling." I raised my arm and let One for All flow through it at 2%. I just have to be careful not to let anything about One for All slip.
"Ah, so your quirk stockpiles power, then you can use that power to enhance your strength." Iida deduced. I nodded. "Correct, Black whip, which I named the black "Tentacles"." I gave a pointed look to Camie, "From what I gathered is a result of the power reacting to my thoughts, I wanted to save All Might, I wanted to Pull All Might away from danger. My power reacted and manifested Black Whip." I tried to explain the best way I could.
Ochako looked at me in wonder, "So your quirk knew what you needed and gave it to you?" I slowly nodded. "Yeah." I answered.
After a few moments of silence Mina spoke up, "Your quirk is bullshit." Mina stated bluntly, "ASIDO!" Iida was about to reprimand her for her language but I raised my hand and made a 'Settle down' gesture, he sat back down blushing as he realized he almost caused a scene.
"I mean admit it, you basically have another quirk, besides your super strength." Mina pouts. "I'm so jealous. Your quirk is so versatile." I chuckled.
"Did anything like this happen before?" Kirishima asked, our food arrived, I took a bite of my burger before I shook my head.
"Not that I know of, I got my quirk a few days before the exam, I'm a late bloomer." Ochako did a spit take, soaking Iida, "Sorry!" She took the napkins and tried her best to dry Iida, Camie looked at me in shock.
"You are a late bloomer?" She asked the question in everyone's mind, I slowly nodded, "But.. How, you're so strong." Kirishima spoke, I blushed and rubbed the back of my neck.
"A lot of training and trial and error." I said taking a sip of my juice, Iida gave me a blank look before he clenched his fist.
"You proved once again, that you are a better hero then I am." I sweat dropped, "That is so manly Midoriya." Kirishima said vowing to work harder than before.
I sighed as the girls giggled, "You know I kinda agree, you worked so hard to be here, I'll do my best." Ochako pumped her fist.
Camie smirked, "I can't really lag behind can I." She and Mina high fived, "Preach it sista!" Mina cheered with a wide grin.
I laughed, "Well, I take that as a challenge." I lift my drink as did my friends and we all clink our glasses together with a 'Cheers'.
We left Mcdonald's and went walking, I couldn't be luckier to have friends like these, I smiled as I walked next to Ochako as she talked to Mina and Camie about fashion, something I won't be able to understand, Kirishima and Iida were on the same boat with me.
I stopped as I felt something small bump into my leg, I looked down and my heart stopped. It was a little girl, with silvery white hair, bright red eyes and a small horn, it was Eri. If she was here… The Yakuza wasn't far behind.
I kneeled and helped her to her feet. "Hey, sorry about that." She clung to me as I held her, I could feel her shaking, I wanted to take her then and there.
I looked at my friends and they looked at Eri with worried looks, I picked her up, she whispered, "Don't let them take me, please." Her pleas made my heart ache, I looked at the alley she came from and saw two men looking around, they had plague masks, I immediately stepped to the side out of their line of view.
"Midoriya what are doing?" Iida asked, I gave him a stern look, "I have a feeling the ones looking for her aren't her caretakers." I looked at her bandages, Iida stiffened and nodded in understanding, we couldn't use our quirks… but we could take her to the police station.
I had to hide Eri, I looked at Camie and an idea came to mind, we were in an area that was somewhat empty. "Camie, glamour." I put a hand on Eri's head and horn. Camie's eyes widened and she immediately blew some of her illusionary smoke and Eri's white hair changed to green, her horn was gone, she was now wearing a red dress and her bandages were gone.
I whispered to Eri, "Stay still and close your eyes." I nodded at my friends who returned the nod, we started to walk as the Yakuza men came out of the alley, Eri gripped my shirt as she buried her face into my chest. Kirishima and Iida stepped up to my side.
"Hey you kids seen a girl with white hair, a little horn?" One of the men asked, I shook my head, "No." The other man looked at Eri in my arms, "Your sister?" He asked pointing at her, I held her protectively, "Yeah, sorry, she's sick." I explained.
Mina stepped up, "We just came from Mcdonald's she has a stomach ache." She chimed, I nodded. The two men just brushed past us as they continued their search, we all walked quickly to the police station.
"Who would do something so cruel to a little girl?" Ochako asked with a sad look on her face, I sighed, "The world can be ugly.." I said, "But there is also beauty in it, you just have to know where to look." I looked at the little girl in my arms, I did it, I saved her, I needed to call All Might.
I took my phone out and dialed his number, "Who are you calling?" Kirishima asked, "Someone who can help." I put the phone to my ear, Eri was clutching my shirt like a lifeline.
"Young Midoriya, what's wrong?" All Might's voice came through, "I'll explain it later, please come to." I stopped and looked at Iida. "Where's the closest police station?" I asked, "Musutafu Police station." He replied.
"Musutafu police station, bring Tsukauchi." I whispered the last part. "... Okay but you better explain as soon as we arrive." He hung up, I could hear the seriousness in his voice.
I sighed in relief and put my phone away, Camie's glamour faded as Eri's real form was revealed. I stroked her hair. Ochako looked at Eri, "What's your name?" She asked as carefully as she could so she won't scare the girl.
Eri didn't move, but she answered, "E-Eri." She whispered. I smiled. "Well, it's nice to meet you Eri." Ochako waved the Kirby plushie, I almost forgot she had that.
We arrived and I saw All Might in his true form along with Tsukauchi, they spotted us, "You can't stay out of trouble for 2 days can you?" All Might asked as he looked at Eri, Tsukauchi narrowed his eyes.
"What happened?" The detective asked, I sighed, we were taken inside, I placed Eri on a chair, Camie, Ochako and Mina were trying their hardest to not gush at how cute she was, I got up and Eri grabbed my hand.
"Don't go.." She begged, I knelt in front of her and gave her my best comforting smile, "I'll be right over there, don't worry my friend's will keep you company." She looked at the girls and slowly let go.
I got up and walked towards my mentor, "Young Midoriya, that girl." All Might looked at the girl, more precisely her bandages on her arms and legs. I sighed, "I found her running from her captors. We slipped past them, I couldn't let her go.." I looked up at the skinny man.
He shook his head with a smile. "Sounds like something I would do." He pats my head, Tsukauchi walked over, "The other kids said it was men with plague masks." I nodded in confirmation.
"I'll look into it." The detective gave me a smile as he put his hat on, "You did good work, you didn't fight and you saved that girl, we need to bring her to a hospital."
I looked at Eri who was looking at an illusion that Camie blew out, it was a pink elephant with a purple hat in fascination, "I don't think that's a good idea, I think we should let Recovery girl look at her."
The two adults looked at the scene and eyed the bandages, All Might nodded, "We can take her to UA right now." I nodded, "I'll see if I can find something on these people." Tsukauchi left.
All Might looked at me, "She seems to be attached to you." I nodded, "You may have to come with," I nodded again in understanding.
I walked over and looked at Kirishima and Iida, "Man that was intense, but I'm glad we were able to get that girl to safety." Kirishima grinned, "I agree, but I must ask, who is he?" Iida asked, pointing to All Might.
Oh crap, "He's my trainer, he had a friend in the force." I explained to them, that seemed to satisfy their curiosity.
All Might came up to us, "Okay kids, you all need to head home, Young Midoriya and I are gonna take her to a place to get her checked out, since young Eri is attached to him, he will be coming with me."
The girls looked sad to have to leave, but complied, "Let us know what happens." Ochako whispered to me as they left, Eri held my hand as soon as I came close, I picked her up and took her with me to All Might's car.
I put Eri on my lap as I sat on the passenger side of the car. All Might drove us to UA, he looked at her, once we arrived we went straight to the nurses office.
We entered the office, Recovery Girl saw and was about to ask but her words died in her mouth as she saw the little girl in my arms, "Oh dear, put her on the bed." I did as told and Eri snatched my hand, "What happened?" She asked All Might annoyed.
The man sighed, "We need you to check her injuries and do a check up on her." The old lady nodded, she came up to Eri.
Eri looked at me with a fearful expression, "It's okay, she won't hurt you, just need to do some stuff." I stepped back letting Recovery Girl remove her bandages, I tightened my fists as she removed the bandages, showing her scars, I could hear the old lady mumbling about the bandages being left for too long.
Eri started to freak out as Recovery Girl was about to take some blood, I held her hand as the old lady took some blood. After her check up, Recovery girl handed Eri a lollipop. Why didn't I get one when I was here..
The old lady looked at us, "The poor girl is traumatized, I took some blood so I can run it by the database, maybe I can find her family." I understand her intentions but I don't think Eri's mom wanted to be found.
"I suggest that the girl stay with Midoriya." All Might blinked at Recovery Girl's words, "Why?" He asked, the old lady looked at the little girl licking her lollipop.
"I have seen this before, kids are very impressionable, she sees Midoriya as someone who will keep her safe, the cuts on her arms and legs were incisions. Done by a professional." I gritted my teeth thinking of ways to kick Overhaul's ass.
All Might clenched his fist, "Who would do something like this to a child?" He asked, I looked to the side, "I'll call my mom." I told them as I took out my phone and dialed her number, I needed to protect Eri, Overhaul was obsessed with her, once I got my Provisional Licence, I could join Sir Nighteye… I needed to get stronger.
"Izuku, honey is everything alright?" I heard my mom's voice as she picked up the phone, "Hey mom, I need to ask you something, can I bring someone over to stay for a couple of days?" I asked.
"Oh is it a friend of yours?" She asked, I bit my lip, "You can say that." I looked at Eri who was looking at me, probably scared. "Well I would like to see this person first." Mom replied.
"Okay, umm I'll bring them over then." I hung up and walked over to All Might, "I need your help to explain to my mom about Eri." The skeleton nodded. "Okay, lets go." I walked over and picked up Eri, who clinged to me like a koala bear.
I couldn't help but smile, "Thank you." I thanked the older heroine. Recovery Girl returned my smile, "Your welcome sweetie."
All Might and I walked to his car, driving back to my house with Eri in my arms, I'll admit, I felt very protective of this girl… even if she did smell like she hasn't showered in a while.
We arrived at my place and All Might inflated into his hero form and knocked the door. Should I have told Mom All Might would be with me?
Inko opened the door and froze, "ALL MIGHT!?" I flinched, maybe I should have explained beforehand...
After calming her down, we went to the living room, All Might stood up as mom was sitting down on the couch, I sat down on the dining table, some sliced apples on a plate in front of us, Eri nibbling on one.
After explaining it to her, Inko looked at Eri, "Of course she can stay, she got up and pet the girl's head, she frowned when Eri flinched. "Until you find her parents you say?" She looked at All Might who nodded.
"Correct, if you are worried about expenses, do not worry, I will provide!" All Might announced, I smiled. "Oh you don't have to." Inko tried to reject but he was persistent, Eri tugged my shirt making me look at her as she held an apple slice towards my face.
My heartstrings tugged as I took it into my mouth, muttering a thank you. This wasn't so bad.
3 hours later
We gave her a bath and fed her, letting her wear one of my shirts, acting like a dress, I even put a hoodie around her so she couldn't be recognized. We took her out and bought her some clothes.
At the end of the shopping trip we had five bags of clothes for Eri, I never liked shopping trips in all honesty… But it was worth it in the end.
That night, my mom dressed Eri in a unicorn onesie, Mom thought it would look cute on her and she was right, Eri was adorable as she sat on the couch munching on apples, I put the hood up and I couldn't stop myself from taking pictures. My mom giggled as she watched me taking pictures.
I sat next to her sending the pictures to my friends and my phone blew up.
AcidQueen: OOOOOMMMMMMMGGGG SOOOOO CUTE! WHY DO YOU GET TO KEEP HER?
GravityGirl: She's adorable, so Kawaii!
MadamMystery: #Kawaii #UnicornGirl She's so ADORB!
Rocky: Glad to see that she's doing okay.
AcidQueen: WHERE DO YOU LIVE!? I NEED TO SEE HER!
Engine: Ashido! Please get a hold of yourself!
AcidQueen: NOOOOOO SHE'S TOO CUTE.
Deku: She's doing better, we got her some new clothes and will be staying with my mom and I, until they can find her parents, I'll see you in class tomorrow.
GravityGirl: Okay Deku, tell Eri we said Hi!
MadamMystery: Cya Deku~
Rocky: Alright Bro!
Engine: Have a good night Midoriya!
AcidQueen: I expect more pictures!
Rocky: Mina…
I put my phone away, I looked at the time, It was getting late, I got up, "Come on, you need to brush your teeth," I told Eri as she dropped from the couch and walked beside me with her holding my hand, we brushed our teeth together.
I never had a little sister, or any sibling in my previous life, this was gonna be a challenge.
I helped Eri into my bed and she held my hand, I looked at my mom who was standing at the door giving us a smile, I mouthed a good night as my mom did the same and went to her room.
I laid next to Eri, ".. You won't leave me.. Right?" She asked, I looked at her, she had no one to comfort her and show her love, I pulled her into a hug, "No I won't." I replied, "... They will try and take me back." She started to shake.
I held her tightly. "I won't let them." I said, Eri shook her head, "He'll hurt you." I shifted to a sitting position and showed her my hand, I pumped One for All at 1% into it and teal lightning started to spark from my hand.
She gasped looking in fascination. "I promise you Eri, I won't let anyone take you." I whispered, shutting off One for All.
Eri stared at me with her red eyes, "Okay." I laid back down, letting sleep take me, I never had any siblings, no brothers, sisters, no one close to consider as such, but now,
I understand what it means to want to protect someone close to you, Inko, All Might, Ochako, Camie, Iida, Kirishima, Mina, Class 1-A, Eri… I want to protect them.
I will be the greatest hero.
