"Wake up."
"Izuku?"
"Is he okay?"
"He'll be fine. He just needs to wake up."
Izuku bursts forwards from his position on the couch. He puts his hand over his stomach and groans in pain.
"We stitched it up for you." says Ruby.
Izuku pulls his shirt to the side to see the hole in his stomach had been stitched back together.
"I thought resurrecting fixed me." says Izuku.
"Most of the time it doesn't. You've been getting lucky." says Ruby.
Izuku nods in understanding before taking his seat back on the couch.
"What happened last night?" asks Dabi.
"Way too much." says Izuku.
"Who's the girl?" asks Toga.
"Her name is Eri." says Izuku
"Why did you bring her here?" asks Ruby.
"Her dad was cutting her." says Izuku.
"Okay, from the start what happened?" asks Dabi.
"Do you mean from the start of the night or from meeting Eri?" asks Izuku.
"I guess the start of the night." says Dabi.
"Me, Speed Demon, and Wolf man were gonna beat up some people who lace drugs with cyanide and rob their clients. One of them hit me on the back of the head and stabbed me with a beer bottle. Another one bit me with his shark mouth. Then on the way back I met this dragon guy who had a quirk that made him lash out so I gave him a target and got my regeneration beat out of me and he left me with a claw mark in my side. Then Eraser head, Present Mic, and Midnight jumped me and tried to arrest me. I beat em up and left but not before they broke my ribs. Then I was so close to coming home when Eri bumped into me. I spoke with her but her dad called out. I recognized him as a villain that Giran said I should stay away from. He's a yakuza boss I think." says Izuku.
"You fought a Yakuza boss?" asks Dabi.
"Yeah." says Izuku.
"And you took his daughter?" asks Dabi.
"He was hurting her." says Izuku.
"Dude he's got a whole Yakuza under his belt. I know they've died down over the years but still." says Dabi.
"I couldn't just leave her. She deserves better. Hell, she's the toughest kid I've ever met. She's smart too I can tell. She makes Toga look like a dumb ass." says Izuku.
"That's probably true." says Toga.
"Still man." says Dabi.
Izuku looks down at his phone to check the time, " I died not one hour ago. He can't do that much worse to me."
"I guess." says Dabi.
"As I was saying, Me and Overhaul fought I broke his ribs, he removed mine and blew a hole in my stomach. He thought I died, I said fuck you, I've got a technique that nobody can beat. While he tried to block that I grabbed Eri and ran like a bat out of hell. Then we doubled back here." says Izuku.
"Kid?" asks Ruby.
"Yeah." says Izuku.
"Are you okay?" asks Ruby.
"Yeah, I'm fine." says Izuku.
"Are you sure? Cause it's okay if you aren't." says Ruby.
"Yeah, I'm sure." says Izuku.
Ruby looks at him for a long moment. He knows she doesn't believe him.
"I mean it. I'd do it all over to help Eri. I'd take those hits to keep the dragon away from that old woman. And I'd fight those drug dealers so they can't poison anybody ever again. The only things I regret are fighting Eraser head and his trio and not hurting Overhaul more than I did." says Izuku.
Ruby's face lifts into a smile, "I'm glad to see you doing so well."
Izuku smiles back before slowly and subtly clutching his sides.
"Are you okay?" asks Dabi.
'Why's he so observant?' thinks Izuku, "Yeah, just a little sore. Have you guys helped Eri?"
"Is she still asleep." asks Ruby.
"Let me check. Hey Toga?" says Izuku as he walks to the stairs.
"Yeah?" asks Toga.
"Do you have one of those little vials you store blood in?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah, why?" asks Toga.
"I need one." says Izuku.
"Catch." Toga pulls one out of her pocket and tosses a little vial over, Izuku catches it and keeps walking upstairs.
Izuku slowly opens the door to see Eri sitting on his bed completely awake.
"Trouble sleeping?" asks Izuku.
Eri nods.
"You talk much?" asks Izuku.
Eri shakes her head no.
"That's fine… would you mind if someone came in here and looked at your cuts and made you feel better. I'm only good at fixing my own cuts, don't really know how that works though." says Izuku.
Eri looks thoughtful before nodding yes.
"And one more thing, would you mind if I took a little bit of blood?" asks Izuku.
Eri looks scared, no she looks terrified.
"Only to find out if you have a family. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to help." says Izuku hurriedly.
"... I trust you." says Eri.
Izuku smiles wider than he has in a long, long time. Eri notices this. She likes his smile, it doesn't hide anything. It's not to lie to her, he's just happy she trusts him.
"Can I stay with you?" asks Eri.
Izuku's brain short circuits for a second, "Are you sure. You might have a family."
"I don't" says Eri.
"What about your parents?" asks Izuku.
"... I hurt them. I didn't mean to." It sounds like Eri was going to say more but Izuku cuts her off.
"It's fine. It was an accident. Accidents happen. I'm gonna look to see if you have distant relatives. If you don't you can stay here." says Izuku.
"Thank you." says Eri.
"Now I just need a little bit and your already bleeding so this won't hurt." says Izuku.
Izuku holds the vial under a cut just below Eri's wrist and lets a couple of drops flow into the vial.
"I'm gonna bring my friend in her to help you. She's a doctor. I'm gonna go see if I can find some family of yours." says Izuku.
Izuku steps outside and Eri hears him talking with a girl. A second later Ruby walks through the door. Ruby quickly works to bandage any open wounds she finds on Eri. The two don't talk. Eri seems stiff and uncomfortable the entire time. Ruby makes sure she moves slow and lets Eri see what she's doing and what she's holding.
With Izuku
Izuku was hopping from rooftop to rooftop looking for Eraser head, it hurt his ribs but he ignored it. He was hoping he could help him identify Eri's relatives. He goes back to the place where they fought and picks up his scent. He tracks the scent until he finds Eraser limping slowly and dragging both heroes he fought Earlier.
"Jesus Eraser. I didn't tell you to carry em. I said get em fixed." says Izuku as he hops down to Eraser Head and picks up Present Mic and Midnight.
"What are you doing back here?" asks Eraser Head.
"I need a little help with something." says Izuku, " Also where are we taking them?"
"U.A. what do you need help with?" asks Eraser Head.
"I need you to go to your hero Database and see if some Dna has any living relatives." says Izuku.
"Why?" asks Eraser Head.
" I saved a little girl not long after we fought. I wanna see if I can get her back to her family." says Izuku.
"If you want I could look after her." says Eraser Head.
"I think she's scared of other people." says Izuku.
"Oh… is she okay?" asks Eraser Head.
"She will be. I don't have all the details yet but I'm gonna work on that." says Izuku.
"Are you sure she'll be okay?" asks Aizawa.
"Of course she will be. I'll make sure of it." says Izuku.
It was at this at this point they both reached U.A.
"I can get in and check the blood." says Aizawa.
"Sure and I can drop these two off with recovery girl." says Izuku.
"You're coming in?" asks Aizawa.
"Of cousre I am, why wouldn't I?" asks Izuku.
"All the heroes that are in there." says Aizawa.
"If they try anything I'll kick their ass. I just wanna get the blood checked out by the rat." says Izuku.
"If you're sure, and don't call Nezu the rat." says Aizawa.
"I'm sure." says Izuku.
The two make their way down to the school's infirmary and drop off Midnight and Present Mic.
"You're that vigilante I've been hearing so much about." says Recovery Girl.
"I am." says Izuku.
"You've caused me a lot of trouble. Aizawa isn't sleeping enough for me to heal since he started looking for you. Now I have to worry about these two." says Recovery Girl.
"I'm sorry mam. But I do what I have to." says Izuku.
"Why don't you talk to me that respectfully?" asks Aizawa.
"Cause' fuck you." says Izuku.
"Language." says Recovery Girl.
"Sorry, if you'll excuse us I need to speak with the principal." says Izuku.
"Of course, and try not to cause me any more trouble." says Recovery Girl.
"Wouldn't dream of it." says Izuku as he steps out of the infirmary.
"I'll take you to the principal." says Aizawa.
"Lead the way." says Izuku.
Aizawa and Izuku walk to the top floor of U.A. and walk to a door that says principal Nezu.
"I must say, it's rather bold of you to stroll right in here." says Nezu
"What's crackin' rat." says Izuku.
"Be respectful to your elders." says Nezu.
"Can you see who this belongs to?" asks Izuku as he hands Izuku a vial of Eri's blood.
"Why would I do that?" asks Nezu.
Izuku grabs a box of Nezu's team Mix off a shelf to his right, rams his hand through a window and holds the box high above the ground.
"Point taken." says Nezu as he sticks the vial under his desk.
He looks at his computer and looks taken aback.
"I wasn't expecting this. It doesn't belong to anyone." says Nezu.
"Wait, like there's no family or this person just doesn't exist." says Izuku.
"They just don't exist." says Nezu.
"Well, I guess I'll take care of her." says Izuku.
"You could let us take care of her." says Nezu.
"Naw, she wanted to stay with me, so I guess I'll let her stay." says Izuku.
"If you're sure." says Nezu.
"Well I'll see ya later." says Izuku.
"I'm afraid I can't let you leave." says Nezu.
"What? Are you gonna stop me or is Aizawa gonna stop me, the hobo and the rat. It actually seems kind of fitting you two work together." says Izuku.
"I've got hound dog and snipe outside the door." says Nezu.
"Come on in." shouts Izuku.
The door opens and the named heroes walk in.
"Yer gonna arrest me?" asks Izuku.
"I'm afraid we have ta, partner." says Snipe.
"Okay." says Izuku as he gets out of his chair and takes off his suit jacket.
"What are ya doin'?" asks Snipe.
Izuku takes off his shirt to reveal his bandages that cover most of his stomach and chest. A lot of the bandage around his donut hole is crimson. Snipe and hound dog both look hesitant about moving forward.
"What's the matter? Don't wanna fight a kid with a hole in his stomach and a couple broken ribs." says Izuku.
"Shit kid." says Aizawa.
"This isn't your fault, mostly." says Izuku.
"Mostly?" asks Aizawa.
"Well ya did break my ribs and if my ribs weren't broken, I probably wouldn't have a hole in my stomach, so yeah I guess this is your fault." says Izuku.
"I didn't mean-" starts Aizawa.
"It's fine. I came back to life, it's all good." says Izuku.
"So, you are immortal." says Nezu.
"No one's immortal." says Izuku, "If you'll excuse me. I have a house to get too." says Izuku.
Izuku walks all the way home with no trouble. Except for the pain in his stomach. Izuku finally gets home. Ruby has already left not wanting to make Eri any more uncomfortable. Dabi and Toga were both asleep on the couch, Izuku thinks they were waiting for him. He walks up to his bed room and finds Eri lying there.
"You can stay." he whispers.
Eri didn't exactly smile but despite that she looked happy. Izuku wanted to see her look happy more.
'I think I'd like it if she stuck around here.' thinks Izuku.
Authors Note
I'm sorry it took so long to write this. It just felt so hard to follow up the last couple of chapters with all the fighting and the breaking and the saving. The chapter still didn't feel quite right but I also don't feel like I could make it better. Also Season 4 finally came out. I really like the first episode even though it was a filler episode. I really want to write Nezu more. He could be arguing logically and Izuku just says shut up rat and drops a cigarette into his tea kettle. I think I'm gonna have Izuku meet all for one soon but I won't give any more information until then. Feel free to leave any questions comments or concerns.

Lightning blade 94: If he got stronger every time he died I'd run into the problem I did with the first version of the story where Izuku was just too strong. Even now I'm wondering if One for All would be too much added onto him. I'm glad you enjoyed Izuku's meeting with Eraser Head, and about Izuku being smart and giving Eri to Aizawa. Izuku will not be smart but he will be a cool dad.
Necrogod: Your welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
todo deku 26: I'm glad you liked it, I think it's one of my better chapters.
Atomic Dragon 59: I'm glad you like the way I write Izuku. I love the premise for Izuku's smack talk but I like to envision Izuku launching himself forward and slamming both of his feet directly into Bakugou's stomach and chest. And for the thing where Izuku dies and nobody notices I was actually thinking about that but on the ride back from the USJ.
"I still can't believe Midoriya took on the brain guy by himself." says Kirishima.
"I know right. Midoriya lasted so long against that guy." says Kaminari.
"Yeah, he just wouldn't stay down. I actually thought that guy was gonna kill him until All Might showed up." says Mina.
"Should we thank him?" asks Sero.
"Man,he looks pretty tired back there. We should let him get some sleep, he deserves a good nap after all that." says Kirishima.
Then they all get back to their class room and wait for further instructions. Present Mic is watching the class. They don't know where Izuku is so Midnight goes looking for him and finds that he never left the bus.
I'm gonna have the class learn about vampirism but I don't think Izuku would accept therapy like he'd get moody or snappy if people press a little too close to home.
Green as Envy: Nigerundayo indeed. (I haven't actually watched Jojo, but I'm glad we think alike)
Amadeus Amadeus: I was almost certain you knew how that scene with overhaul was gonna play out. I had to be sneaky so I could surprise you. About taking Joestar's secret technique. I've actually never watched Jojo's. I thought I came up with something really funny and original but I guess not. I really just end up rewatching cowboy bebop a little too often. Overhaul always struck me as the type to read into things just far enough to get them wrong. I think that's one of the reasons he wants to get rid of quirks so much. I've also never heard or seen anybody say or type , "Everybody is jesus in purgatory." I think it's really cool and I might do something with it just cause any vampire based story has to be partly religious. I'm a little torn over how to go about the next part as well, but one thing I'm certain about is that I want to write about rappa a lot. I feel like conversations and fight's between rappa and Izuku would be really fun to think about and to write. Just because their both so bull headed and have similar heavy hitting fighting styles. I'm also excited to write about Katsukame. I feel like writing Izuku fighting a giant would be really cool and fun to write and to read. About the concert episode I like to thing Izuku would be in overdrive directing everybody's attention away from each other because he doesn't want to get busted on anything. Then he feels screwed because he finds some of the groups intermingling and then nothing happens. Nobody learns anything Izuku doesn't want them too. Izuku panicked so hard for so long and absolutely nothing goes wrong.
