Chapter 2: End of the Deal

"So, you fold it here, and then like this, and you're done." Izuku said as he was teaching Eri how to do origami. The little girl had her tongue sick out as she managed to make a bird out of the paper. "Easy right?"

Eri nodded with a smile "Yep!" She said. some months had passed since Eri arrived, and for more that Izuku hates to admit it, he grew fond of the kid. She is just a small kid full of curiosity and dreams. Everyday Izuku tries to convince Chisaki to let Eri out for a walk and show her how the world is, but the actual leader of the Shie Hassakai, refused, every time with less patience.

The boss is currently very sick, due to a failed hero raid that somehow affected him. In the meantime, Chisaki was named the leader until the old man is better.

A knock on the door, informed that their time was up. He sighed as Eri started to shake in fear. The only thing that Izuku doesn't agree with Chisaki, is his treatment of Eri. The plan that he had was to use Eri to create quirk-destroyer bullets and sell them to villains. This whole idea, he finds it stupid. He knows that Chisaki plan was to make the villains and heroes quirks to go away so things can go back before quirks existed, but still...

"I don't want to go..." Eri said as the knocking on the door continued. Izuku lifted Eri and carried her all the way to the lab.

"When they are done, and you behave well, I'll get you ice cream. Does that sounds good?" Izuku asked and Eri gulped and nodded.

Izuku smiled behind his mask "Don't worry. Chisaki knows what's best. He always do."

Eri nodded as she was sat on the wheelchair. Izuku watched with a frown as they took her, even though no one could see it. "So, any plans Izuku?" Joi Irinaka asked him and Izuku nodded.

"I do. I have a date." He said walking back to get his coat.

"A date? With that chick you are hanging more and more? What's her name... Toga was it?" Joi insisted and Izuku nodded.

"That one. Why?"

"Nothing. Just wondering when are you going to present us to her. Or are you embarrassed of us?" Izuku didn't answer. He put on his coat, checked for his wallet and walked away "Tell Overhaul to call me when he is done for me to pick up Eri."

Once he is gone Joi snapped his tongue "Dick."

*Streets*

Izuku was waiting at a corner with roses he created from some bullets he had. He was watching his watch to see how long Toga was going to arrive. She usually is one second late...

"Izu-Izu!" He felt how Toga jumped and hugged him from behind. He smiled as he turned around. As usual, Toga was wearing a school uniform she probably stole from somewhere.

"Hey." He said handing her the roses making her squeal and blush even harder.

"Oh Izu-Izu! My favorite color! Thanks!" She said and hugged him and kissed him on the cheek making him blush slightly, but was unnoticed due to the mask.

"No need to thank me. So, where you want to go?"

Toga hummed before grinning "What about an underground fight! Pwlease!? Can we be in the splash zone?"

Izuku rolled his eyes with a smile "Why I am not surprised." He grabbed Toga hand and started to walk to a club he knew. "Let's go. I'll pay."

"Yay! Izu-Izu is the best!"

*2 Hours Later, Toga's 'Home'*

The apartment this time Toga stole, was even more rundown than the last one. Cracked walls, broken windows, a rat ran around. Just being there, he started to feel sick. Definitely need to shower once he gets back.

Toga was skipping in front of him, and sat down on the destroyed couch. She patted the spot next to her, telling him to sit down. He complied and she rested her head on his shoulder and he hugged her.

After some minutes of silence Izuku talked "Don't you want something better?"

Toga looked at him confused "Better how? I have you. That's enough for me."

Izuku smiled "Yes... don't you want something better that this? A rundown apartment in a rundown ghetto?" Toga sat up and looked at Izuku.

"What other option I have? I'm a villain, y'know?" She said with a small smile and Izuku nodded.

"So, let's go to the country." He said surprising her "There they will lose track of you."

"Izu-Izu? What are you talking about?"

Izuku caressed her face with one hand, pulling a bang of hair behind her ear. "Once my debt is paid, I want you to come with me. We can go to the country side, have a house next to the lake. There we can be at peace."

Toga gulped as she started to get teary "And-And we can also have a cat... and name it Snowflake..." She took out Izuku's mask and they were getting close, but Izuku's cellphone sounded stopping them.

He quickly took it out, and saw it was Chisaki "Sorry Toga, I must pick up." Toga nodded and he answered. "Yes?"

"You need to come. The boss is looking for you." Chisaki voice said and Izuku nodded.

"I'll be on my way." he then hung up and looked at Toga "Sorry, but I need to leave. Want to go out again tomorrow?"

"Same place, same hour." Toga said as Izuku put back on his mask. Toga kissed him on the cheek as Izuku left.

*Shie Hassakai HQ, Boss' Room*

Izuku entered the room, as the old mas was laid on his bed, tubes coming from his body. Izuku sat down next to him as the old man stretched one shaky hand to him. Izuku grabbed it and hold it with both hands. "Little Izuku... there is something I have to say to you..."

Izuku nodded "Go ahead."

The old man gulped "I wanted to apologize. For everything. For what I force you into. For what I did to you..."

"Don't worry old man, you haven't done anything to me, besides giving me a home and a purpose." Izuku said as the boss coughed.

"I had... after all... your parents are dead because of me..." Izuku's eyes widen at that.

"What do you mean boss?"

"I tasked Chisaki to get the people who owed us money *COUGH* and your parents where one of them... they refused to pay so..." The boss didn't manage to finish due to a violent cough attack. But Izuku knew what happened. He pressed the button to call the nurse and two nurses rushed into the room and told him that he needed to leave.

Once outside, Izuku simply said "Thanks Old Man... thank you for the honesty."

After that, he knew what he needed to do.

As far as he knew, his debt was paid already. If there even was a debt to start.

*Toga's Apartment*

Toga opened the door after a knock and once she opened the door she grinned "Izu-Izu! You're back! I'm so- who's she?" She asked pointing at Eri, hugging Izuku to dear life.

"Toga, pack your things. We are leaving."
