Super Science

Ch 7: Celebration

After another long and boring day at school, Izuku finally made it to his front door. He didn't go to Egon's house today since he told him that he couldn't come for some reason. So he went straight home and now he was at the door.

After unblocking and walking in he called out, "Mom! I'm home!"

Just then at that moment, the dark house exploded into light, and the sound of popping hit his ears with confetti and streamers falling on his face and head. Followed up by two voices cheering, "Congratulations!"

"What-huh? Mom, Professor? What's going on?", Izuku asked dumbfounded.

"It's a party.", Inko explained.

"For you.", Egon follows up.

"Me? What for?", Izuku asks back, still unsure of what they meant.

"You seriously don't know?", Inko asks as he shakes his head. She giggles and tells him, "Izuku, you passed!"

Egon saw that Izuku didn't understand so he jumped in and exclaimed, "You passed your last test and aced it! You officially have your fourth degree! You have a doctoral degree! You can officially, and most importantly, legally work for me!"

"I thought I was still at 2?", Izuku stated, still a bit confused and overwhelmed.

"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you didn't try to shoot straight for an Honorary Degree.", Egon praised him.

"It's also the day that your research facility has finally completed construction.", Inko told him.

This finally snapped Izuku out of his funk and he exclaimed excitedly, "Wait! For real!? That's awesome!"

"It's also your graduation day!", Egon added in.

"But I thought that wasn't for another two weeks?", Izuku asked back, feeling confused and concerned if he lost track of time, which he did a lot recently.

Inko nods and tells him, "It is, but since you'll be so busy very soon we thought it would be best to have the party now.", She then brings her son into a hug and tells him, "Izuku, I'm sorry."

Taken aback by this, Izuku pulls back and holding his mom's arms he questions her, "Wha-? Mom, why are you sorry."

"Because I feel partly to blame for your previous situation.", She admitted while looking away. "When I came to terms that you wanted to be a hero, even without a quirk, I was beside myself with worry. As your mother, I tried my best to support you, but in the back of my mind, I prayed you'd give up. I'm sorry.", She told him with tears in her eyes, looking away in shame. She wipes her face and then tells him with a more upbeat attitude, "But seeing you here and now. Accomplishing more than I could ever expect and more than anyone else in the world, especially myself, and at your age, I can't help but feel proud of you. So very very proud of you!", She told him all teary-eyed again.

"Mom.", Izuku spoke back on the verge of tears before wrapping her in a hug and telling her, "Thank you for always supporting and believing in me!"

"Izuku.", Egon lightly interjected at the moment. When they pull away, the man wraps his arm over his shoulder and tells him, "This time is all about you. If not for you, none of this would've happened. You and you alone made all of this happen! You should feel proud of yourself for all you've managed to achieve. As far as I'm concerned, you're my hero, Izuku."

Izuku's dam finally breaks and he plunges his face into his chest while sobbing, "Thank you, Professor! For giving me a chance when no one else would!"

Egon pets and rubs his back for a bit but soon pulls him off while drying his face and proclaiming, "Okay okay! Enough of the waterworks. Let's eat and be merry!"

It truly was a great party.
