heavy breathing, the sound of machinery, the stomping of feet against the ground. that's all that could be heard as izuku was running on the treadmill*
Izuku"faster"
Izuku pressed the button and the machine increased in speed from 5 to 10, sweat started to fall from his face as his breathing became faster, his eyes just became more determined*
Izuku"faster"
Izuku pressed the button again going from 10 to 15, a jolt of pain shot through him from his spine as his closed his eyes tight and bit down on his lip almost hard enough to draw out blood*
Izuku:suck it up faster!
Izuku ignored the pain and increased the speed going now at 25km/h his shoes slapping against the rubber equivalent floor of the machine and his chest rising an falling each deep breath he took as his breathing started to become erratic with the pain on his back increasing*
Izuku:not now...not yet...
Izuku said threw gritted teeth feeling the metallic taste of his blood at the back of his mouth, as he pushed the button again now going 30km/h but one bad slip sends him flying out of the machine as izuku prepared his body for the pain someone caught him just in time and soften his impact*
Chizome:well that was a close one i say that's enough for today
Izuku:no...i need to keep going
Izuku got up and was about to walk away when he felt the firm hand of his father*
Chizome:i wasn't asking come on walk with me let's have a chat
Izuku grunted but relented as he walked with his father to the showers*
Chizome:get cleaned and get dressed we need to have a talk
Izuku nodded and walked inside*
Bit later
We see izuku still in the shower letting the water wash away his shampoo when he felt arms touch his shoulder*
Tsuyu:you let me die Kero...
Izuku whipped his body around looking everywhere but seeing only himself and the steam, he turned his head back under the shower as those words echoed through his head it felt as if it was exhoing throughout the entire bathroom*
Tsuyu:you let me die
Izuku:...
tsuyu:you're not strong enough...
Izuku started to make his hands in to fists as his body started to tremble*
tsuyu:you're too weak...
Izuku:stop it...
That dream came back to live for lzuku and he saw it. He saw her*
Those damn eyes moved and izuku felt as if those eyes looked at his very soul*
Tsuyu:why didn't you save me
Izuku:i said stop it!!
Izuku punched the wall his vision was blurry from the tears falling down his face his fist was trembling as the blood trickled down it and mixed with the water*
Izuku: I'll get stronger, i won't let that happened. I won't let you die...
Izuku took his fist out the wall and looked at his bloody knuckles his eyes harden*
Izuku:no matter what...
Scene change
We see izuku and Chizome in a coffee shop izuku was drinking his cup of ice chai latte, the bandage around izuku's knuckles was prominent but Chizome didn't comment on it*
Chizome:so any reason you've been training so much?
Izuku:to be healthy
Chizome:that's a lie, you want to be healthy you keep with the exercises we usually do. The manager told me you've been coming to the gym a lot more often. He showed me the tapes so I'll be more blunt. Why are you doing the jail exercises again?
Izuku:...i need to get stronger to use what's left of it...
Chizome:what's left?
Izuku:one for all i can feel it while Mirió has the majority i have 5% of it inside of me and this isn't some embers type bullshit no. This is permanent, but i can't use it in the state i am now if i can just get back to the body i once had in jail I'll be able to use at least 3%. You can help me, with you're help i can become stronger i can protect tsuyu, Eri, i can protect those that matter to me...
Izuku's voice was determined but his tone... Chizome did not like the tone in izuku's voice it was "the ends justify the means" type of tone, Chizome closed his eyes and took a drink of his regular coffee*
Chizome:...smoking
Izuku:what?
Chizome: you're joints could cause harm to tsuyu by second hand. But you can't stop because you need it for your back pain
Izuku:you're point?
Chizome:you want to keep her alive? Stop smoking. Driving comes next, she could be in a accident caused by some drunk driver one night killing her. Stop her from going out of the house because of a wild animal got loose like a feral dog, finally we stop her from eating anything that's not organic since all those chemicals can kill her. That's were you're line of thinking is going to take you
Izuku:...you're not gonna help me. Are you?
Chizome:no son, i am not.
Izuku crossed his arms his face frowning as if he ate something sour, that frown turn in to anger at his father, but also anger at himself that he even asked for help*
???"they don't understand, you need to become stronger, you are too weak"
Izuku heard the little voice of doubt inside his head say, his words were like venom that infected izuku's rational thinking. Izuku got up and placed his cash on the counter paying for his father as well*
Izuku:fine i can do this by myself. Just stay out of my way
Izuku said in a harsh tone walking away, Chizome sighed and finished his drink*
With izuku
We see him walking back to the gym to get his car when he looked at his arm, lifting it he took a deep breath*
Izuku:1%...
OFA activated as a bit of electricity charged through izuku's arm instantly lzuku turned it off grunting in immense pain breathing heavily. Izuku holds his arm trembling from the pain, it felt was if his arm was being electrocuted all over again from 11 years ago from kaminari, the very thought made izuku angry as he got in his car and drove away*
Meanwhile with momo
We see her busy with paperwork when the door opened. She frowned deeply and sighed as she knew the sound of those shoes*
Momo:hello father what can I help you with today?
Momo said looking at her father with a smile while under that table momo was pressing her security button like no tomorrow*
Aoi:for one the location of Midoriya, two for you to visit Iida in the hospital
Momo:and why would I even consider doing any of those things? And please don't give me some garbage line like "I'm you're father" because we both know you don't see me as you're daughter. You see me as the mistake since i was supposed to be a boy you're greatest achievement, a successor to leave your disgusting legacy
Aoi:yes, you turned out more like you're mother with that venomous tongue
Momo:for that I'm thankful now answer my question
Aoi:for damage control you haven't visited Iida once think how that makes the yaoyorozu name look
Momo:like we're not interested in s family that puts there own interests before the well being of civilian? Oh I'm a gasped with the shame why...
Momo froze as Aoi used the bell on her again, all momo could do is looked at his father who was smiling that calculated smile he's been giving her since she got her quirk*
Aoi: better now here's how this is gonna play out...
The door was slammed open and Aoi was crashed to the ground by bill while Bob checked on the boss. Momo shook out of it and nodded at bob*
Momo:as you were saying father here's how it going to play out you are going to leave my office and leave this ridiculous business of a arrange marriage behind, i would rather lose the company then lose what little freedom i have left i have responsibilities chaining up in every aspect of my life except for love I'll be damn if you take that from me. I will choose who I will Mary not some senile old man who thinks he's still in charge. Bill, Bob, get this disgrace of the man out of my office don't be gentle and make sure he lands in the garbage where he belongs
Bob:yes ma'am
Bill and Bob left with a scowling Aoi, izuku's advice become more and more tempting by the day for momo to just take away everything from her father. But a sick twisted part of her was stopping her, the part her father groomed in to her to always see him first, with a sigh momo got back to work*
Momo: maybe i can take tomorrow off and me and Eri can have a movie night or something oh that would just be lovely
Momo said with a whimsical sigh*
Author note:so small story when i started i was 20 and some bullshit rule made it so i couldn't touch the money until i was 21, so after finally becoming 21 and finding the time to connect it all to my bank account i got the money today 3 months saved up to buy this
For what reason? Well so i can practice and start drawing events in my stories, maybe even start a YouTube channel but all that's way in the future but the options excite me to no end
And to everyone who paid for thank you from the bottom of my heart because of you i was able to buy this, and thank you to everyone in Wattpad who reads my stories making them popular enough for me to get to this point so again thank you to everyone
