Zexy Zone: More is coming.

Power Taco: Oh, a strange conversation will happen. I got something planned for their expressions on learning that he's alive too, not in this chapter, but the next one.

Enjoy the next chapter. Going to be a bit on the calm side for this one.

Izuku moaned as everyone in the room gathered around the bed and Eri sat up and stared at the One for All bearer slowly opened his eyes. Looking up, he saw the familiar ocean of familiar faces and he gave a weak smile, "Hey everyone, what's going-"

"Papa!" Eri cried, surprising everyone except for Izuku as she hugged him and cried into his chest, "I was worried, papa…I thought you were gone…you weren't moving,"

Izuku sighed as he slightly smiled and patted the top of her head, "C'mon Eri, I already told you I'm not going anywhere…now stop with the waterworks, snowflake…it's okay," he looked up and sighed, "So…I'm sure everyone has some questions…like-"

"I got one, Izu," Kyoka crossed her arms and tapped her earphone jacks together, "Why did Eri just call you papa?"

"Oh…well…shortly after the…wait, what?" he looked up and arched a brow, "What did you just call me, Jiro?"

"Izu," Tsuyu croaked and Izuku looked at his froggy classmate in confusion, "Ribbit…we've always called you that, Izu," Izuku's eyes widened as the three of them held out similar lockets.

Izuku stared in disbelief before Momo spoke, "So…Izu, are you going to tell us why Eri called you papa or not?"

"Uh…right, well, shortly after saving her from that villain, she came to my room in the middle of the night because of a nightmare she had…she asked if she could stay with me and I told her it was fine and she called me papa…a few times actually that night…she's been calling me that ever since and…I'm okay with it, and once I turn eighteen, I'm going to officially adopt her,"

Izuku looked down and smiled as he patted the top of the young girl's head, "Eri, you already know my classmates Tsuyu Asui, Kyoka Jiro and Momo Yaoyorozu," the three smiled as they waved at Eri and Eri shyly waved back, "And our teachers Mr. Aizawa, Ms. Kayama and All Might," the three teachers smiled at the child as Eri held onto Izuku, "Next we have my mother Inko,"

"Your mother, papa?" Eri stared at the woman with green hair before she smiled, "Grandma!" everyone stared at the young girl with wide eyes as she looked around in confusion before looking at Izuku and frowned, "Did I do something bad, papa?"

Izuku smiled as he shook his head, "No, you didn't do anything wrong, snowflake," he looked up at the six adults and two children and shook his head again, "I'm sorry…who are you?"

"Hana Yaoyorozu," Momo's mother, a woman with shoulder length black hair stepped forward, "I'm Momo's mother and this is my husband Takashi,"

A man with short, black hair waved at them, "Hello,"

"Ribbit," Tsuyu's parents croaked before her father spoke, "Ganma Asui, my wife Beru and our youngest children Samidare and Satsuki," they looked at the two children as the family slightly waved at them.

"Papa?" Izuku hummed and looked down at Eri in confusion as she pointed towards Samidare and Satsuki, "Can I play with them?"

"Maybe later, snowflake…don't forget we're in a hospital,"

Eri moaned and pouted as she nodded before Kyoka's parents stepped forward as Izuku grunted and slowly sat up and Kyoka's mother, a woman with purple hair and earphone jacks hanging from her earlobes spoke, "Mika Jiro, my husband Kyotoku,"

The man with long blond hair smirked and waved before Shouta cleared his throat, "Now that the introductions are out of the way…what happened, Midoriya? Which villain was it that sent you to the hospital?" Izuku's eyes widened as he slowly looked away, "Midoriya?"

'Hey, Lucifer? I know I can't tell them about the deal, but do you think I can tell them about the others?'

'No…if you revel who assaulted you, you may very well lose you chance at revenge,' Lucifer spoke in the back of Izuku's mind, 'For now, play the dumb card. Tell them you didn't see who it was and hope they buy into it,'

"Papa," his eyes widened as he looked down to see Eri staring up at him with a concerning look crossing her face, "Who hurt you, papa?"

Izuku sighed as he patted the top of Eri's head and slightly smiled, "To be honest, snowflake…I don't know…I didn't get a chance to get a good look at whoever it was," the adults narrowed their eyes slightly while Momo, Kyoka and Tsuyu looked at each other with concerning looks as Eri pouted and Samidare and Satsuki stared at Izuku, "Anyway, let's go…I want get out of here an-"

"You know they're not going to let you out of here, Midoriya," Shouta sighed and shook his head, "They're going to run some tests to see if you're able to leave or not,"

"Well…I said I'm leaving an-"

"Izuku," his mother said in a stern tone and his eyes widened as he looked at her as his face went pale, "Two things. One, you're staying here until a doctor says it's okay for you to leave and two, you're lying," Izuku looked away as everyone looked at him, "And don't try lying to your mother,"

Izuku looked up and swallowed hard, 'Lucifer…a little help here? My mother's right, she knows when I'm lying and this could end badly,'

'Just tell them you don't want to talk about it right now. If worse comes to worse, you either won't get your revenge, or you'll be the prime suspect when something happens to your sixteen classmates,'

Izuku sighed and shook his head, "I…I don't want to talk about it right now," everyone stared at him as Eri narrowed her eyes and leaned closer to him, "What's wrong, snowflake? I don't want to talk about the incident right now an-"

"But they hurt you, papa…they need to get in trouble for what they did," Eri pouted as the adults and four classmates smiled and Izuku patted the top of her head, "Papa?"

"They will get in trouble, Eri, but for now, let's not worry about it, okay snowflake?" Eri moaned and slowly nodded, "Okay…someone want to get a doctor so we can get out of here?" without warning, the adults stood up and walked out of the room as Eri climbed off the bed and shyly walked over to Samidare and Satsuki.

Izuku smiled before Momo cleared her throat and Izuku looked back in confusion, "So…not that it's important or anything, Izu…but…does Eri have a mother figure in her life?"

"What? And why would you three care about something like that?" the three looked away and Izuku sighed before looking back at the three playing quietly, "No…I want her to have a mother figure…she sees these families on TV all the time and she asks why she doesn't have a mama yet and…I don't know what to tell her," he looked back and saw the saddened faces of his classmates, "What now?"

"We know you know who attacked you," Kyoka sighed as she crossed her arms, "Your mother's right…you should tell us and this way we can find the ones who did it and have them arrested," Izuku frowned and shook his head, "Zuzu, talk to us…we're trying to help,"

'Crap…she remembered…Lucifer, we have a problem,' Izuku screamed in the back of his mind, 'Kyoka called me the name I told you about and now I can't lie to them,'

Lucifer hummed in Izuku's mind, 'I see…and you claim that they are your friends from your childhood…but like I said, unless you don't want to get revenge on those who have hurt you, you should avoid telling them,'

'But she called me Zuzu, and I know that that means I'm going to be in trouble with them if they find out some other way…plus…I trust them…if I ask them not to tell anyone about it,' Izuku frowned as his thoughts went quiet, 'Lucifer?'

'If you trust them that much, there will be no harm in trying, but if things go south, let me step in and alter a few things,'

'You're not hurting them, Lucifer…I'd sooner go back on my word then let that happen,' Lucifer chuckled as Izuku looked up and sighed, "Okay…I'll tell you three…tonight," the three stared at him in disbelief, "It's just…we're in a hospital, and I get the feeling that if I tell you now then you might scream, or Eri might scream and get everyone in trouble…so I'd rather wait until we're back in the dorms to tell you. I have one request…don't tell anyone…I'll tell them when I'm ready," the three sighed and nodded as their families and teachers walked back into the room with a doctor following them.

The four students, with Eri on Izuku's shoulders, followed Nemuri, Shouta and Toshinori through the gates of UA. Izuku stopped and stared at the building with narrowed eyes as the teachers continued to walk ahead. Momo, Kyoka and Tsuyu stopped and looked back in confusion, "Ribbit? Izu…is everything okay?"

"Yeah…still a little sore from last night,"

Eri leaned over Izuku and frowned, "Are you okay, papa?"

Izuku smiled as he hummed, "Like I said, Eri, I'm just a little sore. I'll be fine, okay snowflake?" Eri moaned and nodded before she sat up and they continued to walk towards the school.

The four entered Momo's room as Izuku set Eri down on the floor before Momo used her Quirk to make a few stuffed animals and toys for her. Smiling, Eri took the toy and walked away from the four, leaving the stuffed animals as the three looked at Izuku with knowing eyes, "Okay Izu…talk," Kyoka tapped her earphone jacks together.

"I said I'll talk to you three tonight," Izuku sighed before looking at Eri and frowned, "I don't want Eri to hear anything, so I'll tell you after she falls asleep tonight…and remember, I don't want you three telling anyone…I'll tell them when I'm ready,"

"And how are you going to face everyone in the common room?" Momo arched a brow and Izuku looked away, "They were unaware of what happened…everyone believes you were visiting your mother or training all day yesterday since they didn't see you. What are you going to tell them when they see you tonight?"

'So that's what they're saying?' taking a deep breath, he frowned, "I'm not going to see them," Izuku groaned and shook his head, "I'm going to try and sneak Eri out later to try and get her something to eat…you three are more than welcomed to join if you want, but I don't feel like dealing with a crowd of people if-"

"But if you take Eri out, wouldn't you be dealing with a crowd of people anyways?" Tsuyu croaked, "Ribbit…what's wrong, Izu?"

"I…I can avoid a crowd simply by sitting away from people, but if we were in the common room, there'll be no getting away from everyone and like I said, I don't feel like dealing with a crowd of people right now…so…do you three want to join us?"

The three looked at each other before looking back at Izuku, ready to answer when Eri chimed in, 'Please come," the four looked up as Eri ran over and stared up at the three young women, "Please? You were there when papa was hurt and you're papa's friends…it will be fun and…and…please come?"

"Eri, maybe you shouldn't-"

"We'll go," Momo spoke and Izuku looked at her as she looked back and shook her head, "It'll be fine, Izu…besides, we still want to talk to you about a few things, and it might be good to get out for a while,"

Izuku sighed and shook his head, "Okay…if you three want to join us…like I said, you can,"

The three nodded and Eri smiled, "Yay!" she jumped up and ran towards Izuku and began pulling him towards the door, "Let's go, papa! Let's go, let's go, let's go," Izuku smiled before picking Eri up and placed her on his shoulders before everyone walked out of the room and quietly down the hall.

I know it's early for a calming chapter, but I feel like it was somewhat needed for the chapters to come. Enjoy.
