Himiko lay in her cell as she had every day since Izuku had put her here all those years ago. She looked up at the ceiling with its recessed light kept behind a thick pane of glass to protect it from being tampered with. She wished she had a window to look out of at least, but that was much too dangerous even though they knew her powers and with no blood, she couldn't transform anyway, still, they feared letting her even close to the outer walls. She sighed as she sat up looking at herself in the metal that served as a mirror for her.

She could see that age along with this cell was taking its effect on her. She could see the start of laugh lines on her face. Himiko supposed she was somewhere in her forties. Without a window, it was way too easy to lose track of the days here. She knew she had given birth to Hinako shortly after being imprisoned here and she was in her twenties then. Izuku had visited her with pictures of Hinako, and by the look of her daughter, she'd say she was around fifteen. That would put her in her thirties. Himiko was sure at least a year if not more had passed since then so she'd put herself at forty.

Himiko sighed as she redid the same equation every few years. "You'd think I'd remember by now." She said to herself as there was a series of clangs against her cell door. She looked up as a letter was slipped through the slot in her door.

"Mail Call." A nondescript male voice said on the other side. Himiko cocked her head as her yellow eyes looked at the letter. Maybe it was from Izuku he was the only one who could or would write to her. She grabbed the letter with her foot sliding it over to herself and looking at the name on the letter and her breath caught as she read her daughter's name across the envelope.

All nonchalance left Himiko as she reached for the letter tearing the top open being extra careful not to catch any of the letters in her frenzy to open it. Himiko flipped the letter open and eagerly read it sitting directly under the light in her ceiling for the best light.

"Dear Himiko Toga. I'm not going to call you mom. I can't bring myself to it's just too much. Anyway you know it's Hinako so there's no point in saying it. I never planned on writing you. I never wanted to even think about you." Himiko felt her teeth grit as she clenched the letter forcing herself not to rip it apart before reading the full thing. Knowing her daughter didn't want to have anything to do with her even after all this time it hurt, but she had to keep reading.

"I wanted to distance myself from you as much as possible, but how could I? Every time I looked in a mirror there you were staring back at me. I even went so far as to dye my hair green like dad's, and for a time that worked, but eventually, I started seeing more of you in me, things I couldn't change as simple as dying my hair or getting contacts. It was then I remembered what Dr. Nabe said to me." Himiko stopped at hearing the name of a familiar Doctor.

"So you were working both sides weren't you doctor," Himiko said before going back to the letter. "The more I tried to ignore you the more you'd haunt me. I couldn't keep running from you, so here I am putting it all out in the open. I tried writing this so many times, but every time I did I'd get so angry and wind up either ripping the page apart or snapping my pencil. I just couldn't help, but think of everything you did to dad and how you're not even sorry for it. Still, I kept trying and the more times I tried the less angry I'd feel. I'm not saying I'm not angry at you still, I probably always will carry some anger to you, but I can look past it now."

"So here's what's been going on with me. I'm twenty years old now and I graduated last year. I was held back because well I wasn't that great of a student and did jack shit nothing when I was being homeschooled. Even with that I still graduated. Dad started crying it was so embarrassing! Himiko couldn't help, but smile Izuku was not above crying at the drop of a hat. She loved that she could see his emotions just swimming across his face she could spend hours just watching him.

"Still he made up for it by throwing me a big graduation party. I don't have all that many friends, but the ones I do were totally blown away by it. Dad always gives one hundred and ten percent to everything he does. That party was amazing! I'm taking a year off before getting a job. I think I want something simple nothing too fancy. I was so flashy growing up I'm kind of all glitzed out, so maybe an office job or something in the mall. I always liked hanging out there."

"Dad says I should aim higher go to college and get a degree, but that's not for me. I don't want some super fancy or high-paying job; you know I think I might like bartending or mixology whatever they want to call it. It seems fun." Himiko couldn't help but frown at her daughter's words. She agreed with Izuku Hinako should get the best job ever and make boatloads of money, though she doubted even if she could talk to Hinako she would listen to her opinion about her career choice.

"So I started taking mixology classes and they are really fun. I've met a lot of new people. Dad says it wouldn't have been his first choice for me, but he's glad I'm enjoying it. I should be done with my classes in a few months then I'll take my exam and I'll be certified! I want to really start working and find my own place. Dad says he doesn't mind me staying with him and Tsu, but I don't want to be a third wheel, besides I want my own place. It's time for me to get out on my own.

Himiko thought back on the name Tsu before a face finally came to mind. "Oh Tsu hmm I guess she could be good for Izuku, they both have green hair." She said with a shrug. "As long as he's not with Ochaco she doesn't deserve him." She said giving her two cents on the matter to the open air before going back to the letter.

"Yeah, I know you probably don't want to hear about dad and another woman, well too bad. Tsu is good for him. She's nice and quiet and just gets dad. I'm sure he's going to propose any day now, and they need their space for newlywed stuff, maybe I'll have some brothers and sisters on the way. Anyway Toga that's about all I wanted to say to you. I can't say I love you, but I don't hate you, and well thank you for giving birth to me, and choosing a great dad.

Sincerely Hinako Toga Midoriya."

Himiko looked at the letter rereading it several times, but what stuck out to her was that Hinako had used her last name at the end of the letter. She began to cry tears pouring down her face as she looked at the letter noticing something had fallen out of it. She picked it up seeing it was a picture of her Hinako a young woman in her own right. Hinako was dressed in tight jeans and a t-shirt with Deku written across it. Her blonde hair was tied back into one long ponytail. "My baby girl." She whispered. Himiko was so proud of her girl knowing she was living a life that she chose and furthermore she had achieved something Himiko couldn't have.

Hinako had made a place in the world for herself that she was content and happy with. "I'm so proud," Himiko whispered as she clutched the letter to her chest.

A/N: I'm glad that I was able to write this story after writing that first chapter in Deku the Dad I really wanted to tell a full story concerning Himiko, Izuku, and Hinako. Now that I have I will be taking a break from writing MHA fanfiction. There are a few cartoons that I'd like to try my hand at before coming back to this fandom. I have several more stories to write so look forward to those and the next ones I write.
