*This Omake is not hard canon. Meaning it can be canon or not canon according to the reader themselves.

*Takes place right before Izuku opens the door for Hisashi Midoriya in Ch.37 The Return.

Omake: Before the Return

The setting sun glows behind Hisashi Midoriya as he stares up at a familiar apartment complex with trepidation and excitement.

He's so gitty he hops in place before rushing forward and jumping as if he can jump up and reach one of the upper floors in a single bound.

"Oof!" Hisashi barely makes it off the ground before his face slams into the side of the building.

This happens from time to time he'll spend so much time traveling in space and various planets with such different gravitational pulls he can sometimes forget the effects it has on him.

"Dumb Earth gravity." With a shake of his head and a brush of his hair Hisashi composes himself, spins around and opts to take the stairs. "It won't keep me from my kid…"

His kid… His son… Izuku… His own son he hasn't seen in over a decade…

And that thought is what causes Hisashi to hesitate. It's the thought that and that rising nervousness that causes his hand to shake and tremble making it near impossible for Hisashi to even knock on his family's door.

Hisashi pulls his quivering hand away from the apartment door, his nerves getting the better of him. "Okay, Hisashi. First impression's the only impression. You gotta nail this."

Alright maybe it's time he practiced before the big moment. Yeah, that's it. What could go wrong?

"Greetings family!" Hisashi greets nobody with wide gleaming eyes and a kind smile. "Hm…?" His fake smile falls away and he shakes his head. "No, that won't do."

Alright, one more try. Maybe this time a sillier approach.

"Helllooo!" Hisashi greets with a wide smile, awkward stance, and a big wave of his arm. "Hi there! It's me, your wonderful, wonderful father-Hmpf." Hisashi cuts himself off, standing back up and feeling really embarrassed for himself for saying any of that.

Okay let's try the "it's no big deal" approach.

For the next rehearsal Hisashi tries to act calm and almost lazy as he just leans against the wall acting uninterested and coy before pretending that the door was just opened. "Oh, haha, hey, didn't see ya there."

His coy smirk quickly falls away as he grunts in defeat, not liking that approach at all.

And so he takes a deep breath, trying and failing to calm his nerves. "Keep it simple and sincere." He approaches the door, for real this time. "This is one of the most important moments of your life: the day I finally come home to my family."

And rather than give into that fear he uses it as motivation to give him the courage he needs…to knock.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

There's no answer and Hisashi's nerves instantly spike backup and his head fills with various ways he should greet his family if they happen to answer.

But first he needs them to answer and so he knocks again.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

And this time there is an answer by a familiar but unrecognizable voice. "I'm coming!"

Hisashi freaks as the person inside opens the door.

A mop of green hair sticks out from behind the door. "Hi Mrs. Bak-..."

The boy at the door's voice trails away as he spots the stunned and freaked out Hisashi.

And in his panic to make a good first impression Hisashi blurts out the first greeting he can come up with. "Sup party people?! I'm back at the house…oh, no…" Oh god that was cringe. "Nope, it was wrong as soon as I said it." Hisashi sheepishly smiles at the bewildered boy. "Sorry, that was terrible. Can I get a do over?"

There's no response as the teen just stares at him with a blank, stunned expression like his brain was on pause for the entire greeting.

After a moment the boy blinks, his head tilting to the side.

After calming from his own panic, it finally occurs to Hisashi who he's been greeted by. His kid. His son. Izuku. It's Izuku!

"Um, sir…?"

Hisashi chuckles to himself. "Wow, just wow."

Izuku's nose scrunches up at the smell of burning wood, emanating from Hisashi's breath. "I'm sorry?"

Hisashi's just at a loss for words here. "You're…so big."

Izuku is clearly becoming very uncomfortable right now but Hisashi's too amazed to notice. "Sir, I'm sorry, but…" How can he say this without seeming rude? "Who are you?"

Oh, right… He forgot… Why would Izuku recognize him…if he wasn't there? "Izuku…"

Izuku frowns, confused yet intrigued.

"It's me."

Izuku continues to stare up at him in confusion, examining him.

Hisashi watches as Izuku's gears turn and the slow realization finally sets in.

Hisashi grins. "That's right. I'm finally home…son."

Hisashi shoots out his arms to the side, his smile wide and gleeful as he waits for his son to run up and embrace him.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

Or not.

*This chapter was inspired by "Della Reunites with Scrooge and the Boys! | DuckTales | Disney XD".

It was also insisted by one of my quote-on-quote "editors." And I liked it so I hope it was at least a nice small treat which is the whole point of the Omakes.

Also I should mention this: I will use these Omakes as a means to give news on the next chapter. As of now the next chapter is Ch.52 Divide and Unite. I am working on it (slowly sadly) but I hope to have it done not next week but two weeks from now.

Next Omake is already planned out and it will also give you guys a sort-of sneak peek/hint to what will occur during the next chapter especially the villain that's gonna appear.
