Chapter Eighteen:

~A/N~ Here's Chapter Eighteen. I hope you enjoy it.

~Summary~ Eri meets Daiki, Denki meets someone dangerous, and All For One has a chat.

~U.A. Medical Ward~

Eri wasn't sure what to think when she woke up. She was in a strange place that reminded her a lot of Overhaul's lab. But it didn't have the same feel to it. She felt almost safe in the white-walled room. She had barely come to when an elderly woman spoke softly to her. Telling her that she was safe and that nobody would hurt her where she was.

Eri had asked where the kind green-haired woman and the other two had gone. The elderly woman said the green-haired one would be back soon. That made Eri feel a little better. She felt safe in her arms. Safer than she had felt in all the months with Overhaul.

"Hello," Eri's eyes snapped to the door seeing the green-haired woman step in.

"Hello?" Izumi called softly as she stepped into the medical ward. The first thing she saw was Eri reaching for her. She wasn't trying to get out of bed but she was making it obvious she wanted to be held in her arms again.

"Hey, little one," Izumi said moving to the reaching girl. Seeing the lack of tubes and wires Izumi pulled Eri up into her arms.

"Thank you," Eri's voice was barely audible.

"I'm happy I could help," Izumi replied.

"Ah, you're here," Recovery Girl's voice drew Izumi's attention to the door as the elderly woman stepped in with a small tray of food. "I understand she may not want to but you need to put her down. She needs to get some food in her belly,"

"Little one," Izumi said gently petting Eri's hair.

"Hm?" Eri pulled back just enough to meet Izumi's eyes.

"I have to put you down. Recovery Girl said you need to eat," As if on cue, Eri's stomach growled loudly.

"O... Ok," Again Eri's voice was barely a whisper. Izumi set Eri down but stayed next to her. Eri stared at the food as it was placed in front of her. She didn't move to eat or even try to reach for the food.

"Is something wrong?" Izumi asked seeing Eri's hesitation.

"C... Can I really have it?" Eri asked nervously.

"Of course dearly. I got it for you," Recovery Girl said with a grandmotherly smile. Izumi almost moved away when Eri started to eat. She tore into the food with a surprising amount of vigor. The girl must have been starving.

"We're here momma," Daiki's voice called out as he and Ochaco stepped in. Eri froze with food halfway to her mouth as she saw the newcomers.

"You're ok," Izumi said patting Eri's back. "Keep eating," Eri stayed still for a few more moments before starting again. Her eyes stayed on Ochaco and Daiki.

Once Eri had finished the food Daiki saw it as his time. The boy stepped up giving Eri his biggest, brightest smile. "Hi! I'm Daiki,"

"H... Hello... I... I'm Eri," Eri says quietly.

"Momma told me you found her and she helped you. Isn't Momma the best," Daiki said still smiling.

"Momma?" Eri said softly as tears started pooling in her eyes.

"Eri what's wrong?" Izumi asked.

"The bad man... he killed my Momma," Eri said as tears now ran down her face. "Momma said I hurt Daddy with my quirk but that he would be ok. Then Overhaul showed up and made them disappear and took me," {1}

Izumi barely kept herself from growling in rage. She really wanted to find and murder this Overhaul. Izumi's attention snapped back to Daiki when the boy moved next to Eri.

"Can I hug you?" Daiki asked now sitting next to Eri. The girl didn't reply right away. She stared at Daiki for several long moments before nodding slowly. Daiki smiled and pulled Eri in for a tight hug. Eri hesitated for a few seconds then hugged Daiki back and started crying again. Daiki didn't stop hugging Eri even as the two both drifted off.

Izumi, Ochaco, and Recovery Girl all slipped out of the room to let the children sleep while they had another talk about Eri's future with Nezu.

~Few Hours Later~

Izumi collapsed onto her bed with a heavy sigh. It had been a very long day. Eri was still in the medical ward. Nana was watching over her so Izumi could bring Daiki home for bed. Now Izumi finally had a moment to let the day sink in. From meeting Ysera to "saving" Eri to learning she had marked Ochaco. Her face went deep red as she thought of that. She hadn't realized she had done it but it made sense. She was attached to Ochaco in a way she'd never been to anyone else. Not even Calen. Izumi rolled over and buried her face into her pillow. She barely stopped herself from screaming. Why did so much crap have to happen in one day?

"Izumi?" Ochaco's voice called out as the door opened.

"Here," Izumi called out her face still in her pillow.

"You ok?" Ochaco asked seeing Izumi face down on the bed.

"Yes... No... Maybe?" Izumi grumbled.

"This about Eri or us?" Ochaco asked sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Both," Izumi answered.

"I figured. Want to talk about it?" Ochaco asked.

"Are you sure you're ok with it?" Izumi returned rolling to the side so she could look up at Ochaco.

"Ok, with what?" Ochaco asked. "The fact that you want to adopt Eri or that you've marked me as your mate?"

"Both again I guess," Izumi replied.

"I told you," Ochaco leaned down kissing Izumi's forehead. "I'm in this for the long haul. I want this. I want to help raise Daiki, Eri too if that happens, I want to date you, I want to love you in every way," Izumi bit her lip as Ochaco crawled on top of her. The brunette smiled looking down at Izumi. Her smile turned lusting as she saw Izumi's breathing hitch.

"Ochaco," Izumi said softly seeing the lustful look in Ochaco's eyes.

"You. Are. Mine," Ochaco said causing a shiver to run down Izumi's spine.

"I. Am. Yours," Izumi replied softly as Ochaco dipped down starting to kiss her neck. She was going to make sure any stress Izumi was feeling was gone by morning.

~The Next Day: With Denki~

Denki was almost skipping as he walked towards the train station. He couldn't imagine his life being any better than it was right now. He had managed to make it into U.A. University. He managed to catch the eye of Yaoyorozu Momo of all people. His happy dreams were cut off when a man stepped in front of him.

"Uh..." Was all Denki managed to say before something was thrown over his head and cuffs locked around his wrists. He felt his quirk die right as he tried to summon it. Quirk canceling cuffs. This wasn't good. A moment passed and all Denki knew was darkness.

~Unknown Location: America~

Sinestra was not happy. Her eyes narrowed at the man standing across from her. "This was not the deal," Sinestra said coldly. Her arms crossed as she fought back a growl. It wouldn't be worth the effort to try and intimidate All For One. It never worked. The man was unflappable.

"I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further," All For One said his ever-present smirk gone. Sinestra felt a cold chill run down her spine at that. All For One was a wicked man who enjoyed toying with people. That was something she had learned a long time ago. Another thing she learned was when his smirk was gone trouble was close.

"We have nothing to gain from this venture anymore," Sinestra stated. "We don't want the half-breed. None of the other students mean anything to us. We only want our child back,"

"I am aware," All For One stated. "But as it turns out. My boy has found an interest in her. So she will be his," The matter of a fact way All For One said that sent another chill down her spine.

"If he truly wants her then we might as well pull out and leave this to you," Sinestra said trying to keep up some defense.

"You are more than welcome to pull out. However, your beast stays as does the drake," All For One stated again in a very matter-of-fact tone.

"We care not for Chimaeron. Jirakka on the other hand is kin," Sinestra argued.

"Yes, and he's a required piece in my plan. You understand of course," All For One said. Sinestra let out a long sigh. He wasn't giving an inch.

"If you want to keep Jirakka then we need some sort of compensation," Sinestra said. She almost breathed a sigh of relief when All For One's smirk returned to his face.

"That would be fair," All For One stated. "What would you desire?"

"You have access to healing quirks," Sinestra stated. "Can you fix my husband's jaw?" All For One closed his eyes his head tilting up slightly as if he were reading something.

"Possible I have two possible ways. I would have to check them," All For One said.

"I will call him down," Sinestra said.

"By all means," All For One returned. Sinestra stood and moved away from All For One. She looked up, took a breath, and let out a long sharp whistle. The ground shook as Deathwing slammed down his body shrinking down as he stepped forward.

"You called my love?" Deathwing asked as his eyes found All For One. "What now?"

"He's altered the deal. The whelp will be going to his son. In return he's going to fix your jaw," Sinestra explained as she placed a hand on Deathwing's face cupping his heavily scarred jaw.

"Then do it," Deathwing said with a glare.

"Very well," All For One said stepping forward and lifting a hand. Sinestra took a step to the side letting the ancient one work. A blue light danced around All For One's fingers as he reached Deathwing. All For One's hand snapped forward grabbing Deathwing's jaw roughly as he easily lifted the man off the ground.

"ARGH!" Deathwing roared out as his body shook in pain. Sinestra was about to move when All For One dropped Deathwing. The man crumbled to the ground and didn't move.

"He will be out for the next few hours. When he wakes his jaw should be back to normal," All For One stated as he turned away. A misty portal appeared as he started walking. "Enjoy,"

And as quick as he came he was gone. Sinestra growled and knelt beside her husband to check on him. She sighed seeing he was alive and simply asleep.

~Yakuza Hideout: Okazaki~

"I hope this has helped you understand the situation you're in," Overhaul said as he washed blood on his hands. Behind him, a blonde-haired young man sat barely conscious. The only thing holding him up was that he was tied to the chair he sat in. The young man didn't reply. He couldn't reply. His brain was still trying to process what it had just gone through. To be unmade and remade like it was nothing. And to have that happen so many times in a row. All because Overhaul wanted to show off how easily he could kill him.

"So I will ask again. Will you help us?" Overhaul asked as he turned back to the blonde.

"Yes," They answered weakly.

"Good answer. Your first order will be to gather all the information you can on the heroic classes and when they will be open to attack," Overhaul commanded.

"I... Understand," The blonde replied a tremble running down their body. Overhaul smiled under his mask. It was almost too easy. It would only be a matter of time before he got Eri back and turned Midoriya into a stain on the wall.

~End Notes~ I hope you enjoyed the chapter let me know what you think. Also most probably don't care but I don't think I'll be giving chapters titles anymore unless one jumps out at me. Not a big issue just figured I say something about the lack of a title.

{1} I changed up Eri's Backstory a "little". She didn't erase her father just rolled him back several years before he pulled away. Her mother tells her father about the quirk and Overhaul hears about it and then the takeover happens as usual. He puts the leader under then goes by himself kills both of Eri's parents and kidnaps her.

So instead of her mother giving her away, she's stolen away. I didn't like that one accident and she just threw her kid away. I do get that it happened because she erases her father and that snaps something in her mother. But hey it's Fanfiction we're allowed to change shit lol.
