And I'm back and here's Chapter 22 of Death and Beyond!

There are no major announcements!

So all I can say that

enjoy!

With the 'rescue' operation done, Tomomi was finally back and safe.

But it seems though that this came with a price.

When the students finally got away, Gran Torino came and knocked the remaining villains. Without any people in the area, the fight between All for One and All-Might came to full blown brawl. No one was holding back anymore, the fight was broadcast to the whole world to see. Sadly, All-Might has already reached past his limit, his true form was seen by the whole world. The Symbol of Peace, now reduced to a skinny man. But he didn't give up, with the last embers of One for All, he defeated All for One. Standing victorious, giving the world a sign that he was victorious in the fight.

The next day came and the media was on fire, everyone throwing their piece at the situation and what they actually saw.

Their question was: What will happen to their Symbol of Peace? Have they finally lost it?

Their question was answered a couple of days later when it was finally announced that All-Might will retire from being a hero.

This shocked the whole world, their Symbol of Peace will be gone.

Many of the heroes that were in the operation was injured, but no one was more severe than Best Jeanist. Who was resting for a couple of days.

"There you have it folks, All-Might has announced of his retirement, we now go to Jim for th-." The TV was turned off, on the couch was Tomomi, his right arm was covered in bandages, he had some bandages on his face, his left hand also had some bandages but not that severe as his right arm.

After his 'rescue' he was given to the police for investigation and questioning. After that he was sent to the hospital for treatment. Then finally coming home with his mother, who just had some scratches and bruises here and there, but otherwise fine. Reaching their home, Ryuko did as any other parent should do after their kids getting kidnapped and rescued. Made him go to house arrest.

Confiscating his phone, because it will tire his eyes she says, watching him like a hawk, making sure he drinks his medicines and not to tire him out, she even forbid him to do even the simple exercises!

Apparently, she was on leave and not only that she has been excused of her own agency because of her own injuries. Giving her the valid excuse to take care of her son.

He didn't complain of course, he was a parent before so he could only imagine how worried she was and how she wants to take care of him.

Right now with the permission of his mother, he was watching TV.

He could hear the blaring of the notifications on his phone. And what was only worse was that somehow, his mother knew his password and kept checking on the notifications herself.

Sighing he returned to the TV

"Tomo-kun." Hearing his mother called he turned to her

"Yes Kaasan?"

"U.A. will undergo a house visit. Apparently they want to move everyone to the dorms." Looking at his phone she began to scroll through the message.

"Do you want me to go?" He knows she's worried, but will she stop him on going to U.A.? Will she even approve this?

"I'm thinking about it." She looked at me. "What do you want?"

"I want to continue."

"I-I don't know."

"Kaasan." He said standing up and going toward her. "I know you're worried, I know you're scared. But I want to do this." I showed her my fist, but I mainly showed her my ring, my father's ring. "I'll become a hero."

She looked at me then sighed "You really are just like your father, you're both stubborn." Looking back at me "Fine, I'll think about it."

Nodding Tomomi went back to his seat.

"By the way." His mother started, she showed him his phone and if he saw Tsuyu's icon that he set for her messages. And if he was reading it right, her history shows. 23 missed calls and 54 messages. "Who's Tsuyu? Why are her messages deemed that you're more than friends."

"Um..I…can explain?"

All for One was one thing, but his mother was another. It can go bad, really bad or Really good that can be viewed to some as bad.

It was finally time for the Home Visits and this time it was finally their turn. Aizawa came through the door and the two people welcomed them in.

"Ryukyu-."

"Ryuko." She interrupted Aizawa with her hand "I'm not a hero right now, right now I'm a parent so call me Ryuko."

"Right." Aizawa nodded and continued. "I'm sure you were notified about the fact that wew we will be moving the students to the dorms." She nodded full aware of that. "So you know why we're here."

"Yes." She looked at the paper "As a hero, I understand that we need to show that this cannot hinder us, that we are still able to stand even without our symbol peace. I understand that." She said then put the paper on the table. "But as a parent, as a mother. I don't want my son to be in danger. I don't want that someday I would be waiting at the door having no one to come, I don't someday that someone will knock on that door and say what I keep fearing."

Tomomi just looked at his mother, he knows how it feels he can remember all the times he didn't want this kind of life to his child.

"Samantha! Get down!" gunshots was heard.

"Mom!"

"No!"

He doesn't want to remember it, he can't let go of any of that, even if how many years will pass he will always remember everything.

Aizawa looked at Ryuko, understanding her, he looked at the paper on the table. 'This isn't going to work isn't it?'

"But." Ryuko said, now looking Tomomi. "Even if I say no, you'll just be a stubborn man, just like your father. I don't want to hinder you in your dreams." She caressed her sons hair and looked at his two different colored eyes. "Just be careful ok?"

Tomomi stared and nodded.

"So…" Aizawa stared at the scene not really knowing what to say or do, he was just lost. "Are signing it?"

A couple of minutes later and Aizawa left with the signed paper muttering 'I need a drink' then transforming to 'No, I need some sleep.'

"So." His mother started, waving his phone. "You can have your phone back."

'Thank God. Wait there has to be a catc-.'

"But."

'There it is.'

"I want to meet this Tsuyu." His mother said giving him his phone.

"Ah ok, I'll ju-wait What!" He said not clearly expecting this, he had no problem to have her meet his girlfriend, but like everything he has experienced it will be awkward.

"Invite her to dinner in by this week." She said walking to living room and turning the TV on "No, buts. When I check your phone later at night you better atleast talk to her about it."

Tomomi was just standing there by the doorway. Then blankly heading to his room.

Once he was there, he unlocked his phone and typed.

Tom: Hey Tsu.

Tsu: TOMOMI! I WAS WORRIED SICK!

Tom: Yeah, long story short. My mom was in charge of my phone the moment I came home.

Tsu: I need a lot more than that you know.

Tom: I know, but.

Tsu: But?

Tom: You busy this week?

She took her time in responding and this only worried him. Then a ding was heard.

Tsu: No why?

Tom: Well, Kaasan wants to meet you over dinner.

Tsu: Oh.

Tsu: Meeting the parents already? That was fast.

Tom: Haha

Tsu: Next thing you'll tell me we're going to get married.

There was silence no one bothered to replied to that.

Tsu: Good night.

Tom: Yeah Good night.

Getting to his bed after changing, he was wide awake thinking of the conversation.

'Marriage huh?'

"Marriage huh?" A voice was heard in his room and he panicked, sitting up his right hand was coated with water, but he was flabbergasted by what he saw. It was his mother holding his phone how he didn't notice her was a mystery.

"Ka-Kaasan!?"

"Huh, not a bad idea. But I need to meet her first."

"Get out of my room Kaasan!"

"Awww, but I want to talk about grandkids."

"OUT! And give me back my phone!"

And that's a wrap!

I actually wanted to make this longer, but making that part made me think 'Ah, that seems good enough it ends with a good and funny one so it's good.'

I hope you guys liked this,
