Chapter 3

A lost son returns

Dagobah Beach

Inko was staring at her daughter, wanting answers. Ichika was nervous to say the least. She didn't really know how to explain Meiyoaru behind her. She really understood it herself.

''Well, I ... *sigh* I really did find him just yesterday. And yes I'm sorry for lying to you mom. But...'' Ichika hesitated. She was trying to find the right words.

''But... ?'' asked Inko gently. ''I had to vent a little after the school yesterday and it was harsher then usual. I knew, you finally had a moment to rest after this long grueling week in the hospital. And you are trying so hard to keep us afloat with the money. It's just... I didn't want to burden you more then I should.'' Ichika said.

''Who said you are a burden to me ?'' '' No one.'' Ichika softly muttered. ''Then why do you think you are burden to me.'' ''It's just..., you still miss him. I am glad that you adopted me don't get me wrong. But you are still grieving him and when I see you crying for him like that, I can't help but think, 'Am I just the replacement for Izuku?'''

Inko was stunned. No, more like shocked to her core. She has a daughter now but still can't get Izuku out of her head. It didn't mean that Ichika means less then Izuku. But she needs to get over him. her grief is not only hurting herself but her daughter as well. Inko walked then towards her dragon daughter and hugged.

''I'm sorry, I never realised my grief was hurting you this much. I'll try to be better now from now on Ichika simply hugged her back crying softly. After some time they separated.

''Anyway, the moment I found Meiyoaru in the trash, I just simply started talking to him. And after only some minutes, I could tell he wasn't just an empty armor. I felt like was watched by him. He somehow radiated this comforting feeling. Like I was sitting and resting in front of a soft fire. Look I can't really explain it myself and it sounds stupid but I just somehow knew that he was alive.''

Both Inko and Ichika were now looking towards Meiyoaru. He was staring at them, silently.

''Mom, what are we going to do now ? It feels somewhat wrong to just leave him here.'' ''Well we can't take him with us home that's for sure. I mean look at him. He will never fit in our home. Let alone anywhere.'' Inko answered in thought. Inko and Ichika were now starting to brainstorm around now.

Meanwhile the Ashen One. Was thinking. 'I am truly too big. Can I somehow get smaller?' He thought back. The moment he wanted to save the small family, the fire gave him strength to protect them. 'Maybe it works the other away around too?' The Ashen one focused on the flame. Losing slightly his hold again.' Make me shorter. I need to change my height so I can come with them. I want... I want to live.' The First Flame responded to his desire.

The mother and the black dragon were still discussing until Inko looked back at the knight. An saw what he, was doing. Inko was speechless. Ichika saw her expression and turned around too.

They saw how Meiyoaru was shrinking. He was still as tall as All Might but with his new size they certainly could take him with them now.

''Ehm, problem solved I guess?'' Ichika commented with a small giggle.

With an tired sigh, she admitted defeat.

Truly nothing can surprise her anymore.

''Looks like we can take him to our home now.'' Inko said with a small smile. The three of them walked now towards the exit. The Ashen One was walking behind them. He was bout to see a new kingdom. Will it be just as dangerous as Lothric? What will he see? There was a certain excitement, when he went out exploring in the lands of Lothric. Even if it could be filled with monster around the corner. He couldn't wait.

The moment they walked up the stairs, the pair walked to a small red carriage without horses. He just watched them get in it and waited for him.

He gripped gently as possible the door handle and pulled. He got in the carriage and saw Inko and Ichika ahead of him. Then the growling from before appeared of nowhere and he jumped slightly making the armor rattle a little. Ichika turned around and looked behind.

From body language alone she could tell that Meiyoaru got spooked a little from the car. ''Sorry, I should have realised that you might have never seen cars before. But it's totally fine.''

Inko drove of and the Ashen One looked threw the window. Looking outside he saw many tall buildings. Not as big as Lothric castle but still big nonetheless. They drove towards there home.

(X)

They reached another big building but then Inko stopped the car and the growling stopped.'' Well here we are. Home sweet home.'' All of them exited the car and walked to the stairs. They climbed them, until he saw the number 5 and they walked along the hallway. On his left side were many doors each having a different number on them. But on his right... .

What he saw astounded him. Miles upon miles, the only thing he saw was a city, far bigger then the lands of Lothric.

The Ashen One turned back and saw Inko and Ichika looking towards him. He continued walking towards them. When he reached them, Inko pulled out a key and unlocked the door.

As they walked the mother took of her shoes and set them before a step. ''Ok then I'm going to take shower now. Can you wait for a moment till i am done. You can show Meiyoaru around a little.'' Ichika nodded and took a rough brush and cleaned her naked feet. The Ashen One continued to watch her. The moment she was done she turned to him expecting something from him.

He looked back to her.

''Ah, yes sorry about that. Here in Japan it's common that before you enter a home, that you take of your shoes. But since you down right need them to walk we are just going to brush your footwear clean.''

'Actually I can pull them of but I never rather not. What if we get attacked here?' After Ichika was done cleaning his leg armor, they walked into the apartment and into the living area. Every step Meiyoaru took made the wood floor groan in strain. after all the car tilted back as Meiyoaru sat in the car. The Ashen One saw a soft looking bench, a table and positioned to look forwards to... a pitch black mirror ?

The black dragon watched his head turn towards the TV. And realised what his body language said.

''Oh that's a TV. It has the ability to show you, what's happening around the world. But it can also entertain and teach little children if, they are bored. The same goes for adults as well.'' Ichika explained as simple as possible. Meiyoaru wasn't familiar with... well everything. The most common things for her, are downright alien for him.

Then she took the TV remote and turned it on. The Ashen One looked fascinated towards the magic mirror. And yet...

It's like he saw something like this before. He can't say where but that thing, it's not as alien to him as it should be.

Meiyoaru continued to stare, at the screen a listened what the newsmen said.

''If you just turned in, these are the new information of the last villain attack that happened in the Musutafu prefecture this morning. The villains have been found and arrested. But it wasn't a heroine. No hero tried to take the credit for putting this villains down. The villains confirmed that it wasn't a heroine that defeated them. Three of the four villains said all, the same thing, that a gigantic monster armor attacked them from out of nowhere. The police can't confirm what happened really to the villains.

''Furthermore the 4th villain, called Titan, is unconscious and is currently in critical condition in the hospital. All currently information lead to one thing that a new and extremely dangerous vigilante is out there and it seems , that she is as dangerous and ruthless as she is unknown to the public.''

''Please stay safe and take care of yourselves. This is Miyagi Deikaku. We see each other again at 8:00 p.m. good day.''

Ichika was glad that villains were caught. A little concerned that the 4th villain almost died. And yet she had also weird sense of pride, since only her and her mother knew the being who stopped the villains.

The Ashen One walked now to the kitchen. His headache came back and it was strong.

(play Dark Souls 3 OST - Epilogue)

This place 'I KNOW IT BUT FROM WHERE'.

He then saw something weird. It was Inko again but she looked much younger and she had much less weight. Beside her was a boy jumping up and down. ''Computer time mom Computer time I want to see All Might.''

This child...

The vision vanished. He turned around towards Ichika. She was confused, for some reason Meiyoaru froze up the moment he looked towards the kitchen. The Ashen one then walked away towards another hall. There he saw a little cabinet but that didn't interest him. It were the shelfs above it. There were tiny little portraits encased in wood and glass, on it.

On one them he saw the little boy again, the next was a smiling a Ichika holding up her adoption papers, smiling brightly with a happy Inko hugging her. There were many other pictures, of the boy and Ichika and a big part had Inko in them as well.

The last however...

It was the boy from the vision he could tell but...

'He looks older. He looks like me...'

Right on cue, the headache he had turned into agonizing pain entered his head. It was now even worse then the first time.

(X)

Ichika was now worried Meiyoaru was looking at the pictures of her, her mother and even Izuku. But that didn't worry her no. It was the body language, he was rigid, he was nervous. Meiyoaru then picked then a family picture up of Izuku and Inko. Just days before he vanished. The portrait then fell to the ground. The knight was clutching his head in pain.

Right on cue Inko came out of the bathroom, wearing her normal clothes and saw Ichika and Meiyoaru in the hallway with saw the broken picture.

''What happened here ?!''

''I don't know he just picked the picture up and fell to the ground!'' Ichika panicked.

*sob*

Ichika and Inko turned to the sound.

*sob*

It was Meiyoaru, who was making that sound. He was crying.

'Wait is Meiyoaru actually a living being?' Inko and Ichika thought at the surprise of this new revelation.

*sob sob*

The Knight stood up, turned to Inko with an outstretched hand and walked slowly towards her, still sobbing. Inko stepped back slowly until.

''Mom?''

That voice it sounded rough, hoarse, like the being inside the armor rarely talked. But it was Izuku's voice nonetheless. She was lost, her son is gone. But she didn't stare to step back now. ''Show me your face.'' said Inko with gentle calmness.

The knight stopped. The ash particles appeared again but they went and covered the entire body of 'Meiyoaru' disappeared. That confirmed it. The armor wasn't empty. What was left behind was a familiar face. It looked a little bit older compared to the last time she saw it. And yet it was still the same.

It was Izuku.

He still had them same green eyes, just like hers, his hair was dirty but it was still green but with thick white streak, on the left side of his head. His skin was extremely pale, like it hasn't seen the sun for many years. A long scar crossed over his left eye down to his cheek. Another x marked scar was on the right side of his cheek, his freckles on the right where gone but the ones on the left still remained.

She looked slightly down and saw that his throat had another scar on it. Going all the way around his head. The rest of his body was littered with even more scars. His entire body covered with these heinous things. Just what her son to endure. He had muscles as well and hell he could rival even worlds biggest bodybuilder with those things.

But underneath all that.

He was still her little baby boy.

Her lost son returned home.

Inko and Ichika continued stare at Meiyo- Izuku. Izuku clad in dirty white pants waddled slowly and unsteady towards Inko. She barely reached now his chest.

Inko hugged him with crying wide eyes. But no sound could be heard from her. The mother held her ear towards her son's chest.

*Ba-Bump Ba-Bump*

A heart beat. It's not an Illusion. He was really back.

Then the full blown out crying started. Inko ,wailed, sobbed and cried her pain out. Izuku was silently crying as well one arm around his mother. He didn't gain all of his memories back. But he now knew who this women was and what she meaned to him and what he was to her.

She was Midoriya Inko, his mother. He was Midoriya Izuku, her son. The Ashe- Izuku turned then towards a crying Ichika, smiling at him and his mother. Then he remembered what Ichika said after the villain attack, 'Am I just the replacement for Izuku?'.

She wasn't.

Izuku hold out an arm towards her, showing, that there is still room for one more in this family. Slowly the crying dragon walked towards outstretched arm of Izuku and he pulled her in. Inko remembering her daughter hugged her as well.

This family just got bigger.

(late afternoon)

After the family reunion Ichika gave Izuku white shirt of hers and some sweatpants. It was pretty tight. The shirt barely covered his enormous chest so he just took his old green bathrobe and wore it like jacket. Even then it barely covered anything but it still better then one of Ichika's shirts. But that wasn't important right now.

(play T-KT from Attock on Titan)

What important is, that Inko had questions. Where was he all that time? How did he disappear? Why didn't he come back? Why was he looking like that? But above else how did he get so strong? Does he have a quirk for some reason?

So many questions.

All three sat down at the table. Inko and Ichika sitting in front of the green haired giant. And Inko started with a sigh. ''Where were you all this time?''

''Lothric''

''Lothric'' asked Ichika. Where is that place? I've never heard of it.''

''Dead''

''Dead ? What are you talking about Izuku? Why are you not speaking in full sentences? ''asked his mother. '' Throat ... hurts'' He drank some tea to ease his sore throat.

''Oh.'' That was all, what his mother could say. ''When you were at Dagobah beach, then why didn't you come back here right away? Why weren't you talking to us before?

''I... forgot''

''You forgot? What did you forget ?'' She kepted on digging. ''You.'' That was beyond abnormal now. You don't simply forget your very own mother in just a year, not to mention forgetting where you lived.

''How did you forget me ?'' asked Inko. She was trying her best not show her sadness, but Izuku's answers were becoming more and more confusing.

''many years... gone'' Inko thought about that answer. Could that mean...?

''Do is it mean, for you a lot more time passed then just a year?'' asked Ichika with a questioning gaze. Izuku just nodded. Inko's eyes widened at that. But how? How is something like that even possible. Just what happened to her son.

''How many years where you gone Izuku?''

''I l-lost *cough cough* count.'' Izuku had a coughing fit. ''Mom, I think we shouldn't ask him to many questions.'' said the concerned dragon.

''Alright then. Two questions then. How did you get this strong Izuku, did you somehow got a quirk?'' Izuku just tilted his head and asked ''Quirk?''

Ok now Inko and Ichika knew, that for Izuku passed a lot time. He can't even remember quirks. And Inko told her daughter how much of a quirk fanatic Izuku was. The fact that Izuku can't remember even quirks... it was downright concerning.

The last question then thought Inko. '' What did you mean by that Lothric is dead?'' Izuku just looked ... ashamed. Not the kind of shame when a mother found the porn magazine under her sons bed. Yes even Inko found one under Izuku's bed.

No. It was the kind of shame you have when you did something outright horrible and you saw no other way to solve a problem. This kind of shame was currently in Izuku's eyes. He doesn't even want to look at her.

''I'm not going to pressure you Izuku. As much as I want to know the answer. But at some point I want to know the truth alright?'' Izuku looked back at her and nodded a soft smile on his face. ''Alright then.'' Inko smiled back

(stop playing T-KT from Attack on Titan)

''You know what? Since you are finally home. We should celebrate it with your favorite food!'' Inko said with a bright smile. ''That's a great idea mom! I'll come with you!''

Inko on the other hand smiled apologetically at her. ''I'm sorry honey. But I want you to stay here and look after him.'' ''Huh?'' ''Well you did say, that he had no idea what a TV is. To be honest I don't think it's wise to leave him alone now. Who knows what he would do?'' ''Hm, you might be right there.'' Ichika agreed with a nod and closed eyes.

Izuku looked annoyed at them with crossed arms over his chest, like he was saying ' I am still here you know.'. Inko and Ichika looked then to Izuku and they laughed at his expense. After some short even Izuku had to smile again.

'Maybe. Just Maybe I don't have to fight anymore...'

(X)

After some preparation Inko left the two of them alone. Izuku then stood up started to look around again.

'So this was ... is my home.'

Ichika looked at him as he started to walk around with no real aim or reason. She thought back how that crazy day started. She woke up of with that damn nightmare again. She met her new friend, she thought as nothing more then a gigantic armor, only to later find out he is a villain ass kicking machine. One that could even rival All Might in strength. If anything of his shield bash is to go by. But then after all that, it turned out to be the lost son of her mother. And no one knows where he went off. He only mentioned one name: Lothric.

Where is Lothric anyway? Why did he say it was dead? Why did he smell of fire?

...

'Oh fucking hell. I sniffed his leg like I was some dog! And now he lives here too. Well it's not like that he shouldn't be here, he got reunited with my mother again, after all. Wait does that mean I have a brother now? *sigh* I just should stop thinking now before give myself a headache.' Ichika then looked up and saw Izuku staring at her holding the remote of the TV in his hand. He directed a questioning gaze at her.

''Oh do you want to watch some TV again?'' asked Ichika with a smile. Izuku nodded with a small smile. Both of them walked towards the couch and sat down. Ichika turned on the TV and talk show with All might herself was on. Izuku just looked at her. ''Who''?

''She is the current number one heroine in japan. Maybe even the world. After all we have the highest crime rate here in the world. She is also considered to be the symbol of peace and justice. A true hero.'' The former knight nodded at that, saying he understood.

''You know, it's sad. Before you disappeared, you were a total All Might fan. Inko still has the onesie that you wore, when you were just a small child.'' Ichika had to giggle as she remembered a photo Inko had shown her. He was so happy. '' Ah the show is about to start.''

'' Hello dear viewers and welcome back to 'Heroines talk'. Today we have, we have the one, the only, the strongest heroine in japan as a guest. I present you ALL MIGHT.''

The crowd was going ballistic.'This All Might must be truly someone special, if people are holding her in such high regards.' thought Izuku to himself.

She was a tall woman. She had a strong looking body. Muscles all in the right places. Blonde hair that reached just above her shoulders. She wasn't bulky but her body already screamed pure unrivaled power. Izuku could all see that, and yet her eyes held a different story.

''NEVER FEAR! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE, I AM HERE!''

'The way she acts. She is reminding me a lot of Siegward of Catarina. Always ready for a team up, always ready to help me out, even though he was goofball sometimes. And a great buddy to drink with. Damn I could really use a siegbrew now.' As Izuku watched the talk show about All Might, he could really understand why the people loved her.

'But the way the people are praising her. It's like they see All Might as god and not a mortal. But people forget one important thing.'

'Even gods can die.'

'After all ,I killed gods and beings with god like powers.''

The talk show was now over. Now that he thought about it what is he going to do now? He has done only things that were for the best of others... he hoped at least.

'I need to clear my head. I'll just train my hold on the first flame then.' the former Ashen One thought to himself. He started to weaken the hold slightly and test if he going to grow again...

He didn't. It seems like the flame is responding to his wish. The more he wants, the more the flame gives. But he fears if he uses to much of the fire it will take something back from him. That's just how the First Flame works. All the former hosts of it. Wanted to link the flame so the world could live. But in the end they all died a horrible death because of that. He wants to change it.

After some moments he started to train with the First Flame only to feel something in his lap. He forgot one thing. There is a dragon girl sitting next to him. It was Ichika. She was dozing of. 'The day must have her emotionally drained.' Izuku had to chuckle slightly.

'I forgot she can sense the fire. Which in turn calms her. Maybe I just let her feel a little more of it then.' Izuku began to loosen his hold more.

The dragon girl started to purr.

He looked at her and started petting her montrals on the head. The purring only increased.

Back in Lothric, when always felt down, like every hope was lost, the firekeeper always there for him and laid his head in her lap and vanquished his dark thoughts. It helped him to calm down. To see things clearly again. Now the roles were reversed he was the one giving comfort, and yet Ichika somehow does the same to him with her action. He decided to close his eyes a little.

The stroking went on and Izuku got him self lost in it. Now he went from the montrals further down to the neck. Just behind the appendages that were her ears. He gave it some scritches and Ichika's montrals went up, begging for more. Now one hand wasn't enough anymore. Both of them were so lost in the moment, that they didn't hear the door from the apartment opening and closing.

Inko walked into the living room and her heart melted at the sight. Both her children were sitting on the couch cuddling with one another. She took out her phone and snapped a picture right away. Inko had her doubts before, if it truly was her son that came home. But now she saw that gentle and caring side of him and her doubts left her head.

They still didn't notice her.

''Well, I'm glad that you took already a liking to each other.'' said Inko with a smirk. Ichika snapped out of her bliss like state. She sat up and pretended nothing has happened, while blushing up a storm. Izuku on the other hand just turned around with a smile and nodded at her.

I will be preparing dinner now. You can go and take bath now Ichika, after that you will show Izuku how to operate the shower so he can take one himself. Ok?'' Ichika nodded speed walked to the bathroom. Izuku looked back to his mother, and pointing towards Ichika with an asking expression.

''Oh don't worry about it. It's nothing wrong with her.'' Izuku wasn't so sure but he let accepted it nonetheless.

In the bathroom.

'Oh god, that was so embarrassing. It's not like I wasn't doing it with mom sometimes. It's just... He smelled so strongly like fire I simply couldn't resist.

She stopped that train of thought.

(X)

As promised, Ichika showed the former Ashen One how to operate the shower and left him. However he still managed to screw it up. He went under the shower still with all the clothes on. When he stepped out of the bathroom, Inko and Ichika broke out laughing. The former knight didn't understand why the laughed at him. Did he do something wrong?

Luckily Inko bought a pair of clothes and underwear for him to use. So he is at least covered up

For dinner was katsudon on the menu. As the bowl was set down in front of him. He just stared at it. But then he took the one bite. He froze up. Inko were concerned a little when he had a shocked expression.

But then he downright devoured the entire meal in less then ten seconds. Now Ichika and Inko had the shocked expressions which quickly turned into smiles as Izuku hold the bowl towards Inko, asking for seconds. Inko smiled brightly at that. He truly was her son.

When dinner was over Inko had one last thing to say. ''Ok, Izuku tomorrow the two of us are going shopping. And we get you then some new clothes that fit you.'' Izuku on the other hand, had a questioning expression on his face and looked towards Ichika. ''Sorry Izuku. I have school tomorrow I can't go with you.'' Izuku accepted that but he was disappointed.

In the middle of the night Izuku was still awake. He tossed around on the couch not really able to sleep. He is quite excited for tomorrow. But then the lights turned on and Inko walked into the living room with a panicked face.

He sat up immediately looking at her, wondering what's wrong. Inko saw him and she hugged his chest right away. She was crying. 'Did she have a nightmare?'

''You truly are back right ?''

''Yes''

Inko sighed and let him go. Izuku on the other side grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the room. He gestured to her bed and she lay down. In her bed Izuku then took a chair and set right next to her holding her hand so she can sleep. That gesture was telling he, will not vanish again. That he will stay right there. Normaly parents do these things to their little children. But right now Inko needed the consolation.

(x)

The next day

Inko didn't wake up alone. Izuku was still sitting right beside her, holding her hand and looking at her with a soft smile. She was stunned.

''Izuku did you stay here the entire night?'' Her son just nodded smile not leaving his face. ''But you need sleep as well. You could seriously-'' Izuku just denied that statement.

''No ... need ... for ... sleep.''

The green haired woman was now downright concerned to say the least. Since they were going to city today, she should make sure to make a check up as well. And inform the police that a missing person has returned.

Izuku then let her go and walked out of her room. He then walked to Ichika's room. He looked inside and she was in her school uniform.'' Hey, knock on the door when you enter a room!'' She yelled at him. He bowed his head to her, apologizing.''Sorry Izuku but I gotta go now or else I'm gonna be late.'' She walked past him and out of the apartment.

''Is Ichika gone already?'' Izuku nodded. ''Well, then I am going to make some breakfast for the both of us.

After a quick meal and a shower the both of them were ready to start the day. The mother son duo went to nearest mall. On the way there, all man and woman were staring at him. It's not everyday you see a tank of man walking down the street with an older woman only half his size. What didn't really helped at all, was Izuku's resting face and his posture.

His face was slightly frowning and his shoulders were pulled up. He was acting like something was about to attack him at any moment. Inko saw that and she worried only more. What made him this paranoid, that he considers every corner like a death trap. He was on guard. Inko grabbed his hand gently, snapping him out of his head. He turned towards her with a questioning expression.

'' There is no need to be this cautious Izuku. Yes, sometimes villains are right around the corner but you can't know that. Not to mention there are many heroines around here. There isn't one person foolish enough to rob us. Not in brought day light. Not to mention you are quite intimidating.'' said Inko with a calm look on her face.

He didn't let his guard down. He isn't gonna risk it. Inko sighed slightly at that.

When they reached their destination, a clothing shop. Inko and Izuku walked in. ''Hello how can help yuooooo-'' The shopkeeper said but the moment she stared at Izuku. She got as meek as mouse. Izuku stared at her with a dead expression. Which I turn frightens her a little.

Sometime later

Izuku was carrying multiple bags and two boxes with shoes in them. As they walked back home and past alleyway a hand grabbed and pulled him away...

At least the person tried to. Then the arms transformed into a long metal blade. He let every article drop to the ground.

'THE ONE DAMN TIME I DECIDE TO LET MY GUARD DOWN AND THIS SHIT HAPPENS!'

Inko got spooked and jumped slightly back screaming for help. The people stopped and stared at her, pulling out phones right away to record this incident

''Nobody move. Or this hunk fucking gets it.'' Izuku's back was turned towards, the woman and the blade was close to his adams apple. But he wasn't scared. He was mad that he let his guard down and had a annoyed look at his face.

Inko didn't know what to do. Her son was in danger and she forgot what he is capable of, in her fear. But then she looked to Izuku's face and saw that he was completely calm. Then hero Death Arms arrived.

''Let him go now! Your sentence will be lightened up if you do. Resist and your will be making things only worse for yourself.''

''As if. Give me all your money or he dies. You will let me get unscathed out of this!'' To prove her point the no name villain, pressed her blade hand at his neck. She tried to draw blood but realised she couldn't and got confused.

'I have enough of this.' thought Izuku tiredly. He then grabbed the villains blade like arm and threw her over his down in to the ground with hard slam. Air left the villains lungs but then she was in more pain as Izuku stomped hard on her arm, breaking it.

''AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!''

Death arms was flabbergasted looking towards Izuku, just like the rest of the people recording this event. He then walked over to his bags and picked them all up and was about to walk away again like nothing ever happened. ''Izuku wait!''

Inko called to him and he stopped in his tracks.

''We have to wait for the police and the medics to arrive.'' The former Ashen one just hung his head in exasperation.

(X)

'' So you are saying that is your missing son.'' ''Yes for the third time he is my son.'' The officer looked towards Izuku and then to Inko. ''*sigh* Alright then then. Please fill these forms out of how you found him and bring them back later in some days. That way we can close this missing case as fast as possible.''

''Thank you.''

After that roller coaster of events, the sun was already setting. The two of them were driven home by the police and thanked the driver.

They finally reached the apartment and entered. They saw Ichika sitting on the couch turning her head around. Montrals pointing up in joy, her pupils round and a fanged smile, she jumped up and hugged both of them.

''You're back. I heard what happened are you both ok?''

''Yes we are fine Izuku took care of the villain.'' Izuku just nodded.

''Damn not even 2 days back and already in 2 villain fights. Hopefully the number doesn't go up.'' added Ichika jokingly.

''At least we could inform the police now, that Izuku is now back. And he got a little medical check up as well thanks to the medics. He isn't injured.''

''Huh, looks like you had luck at the worst moment today right?'' said Ichika with a smile. Izuku grinned back at her.

''And that leads to the next thing. Since the police got informed about his return he can go back to school now after they informed them. He needs to relearn some things after all'' Inko added.

The black dragon was at a lose for words. Izuku is going to school with her!

(X)

And CUT. Hoowie. Didn't know I could write this much. Was quite surprised myself.

Izuku is back home now. Mommy is happy and still can't quite belief it. While our Ichika got now someone to talk to in her school.

Bye and stay safe.
