Few days past with the events of I Island being behind us. Even though we won and got an island that had literally a shit load of badass scientists in it free, Ichan felt kinda off. "He's been like that for how long today now?" I asked Ponytail for her to shrug while looking at the time. "It had to be at least four hours now. He was like this when I got up." We sat at a table drinking some tea while Eri sat near us drawing a picture of her and her 'family'. She immediately got off the table with the picture before running over to Ichan holding a pure face. "I made this for you daddy." She gave it to Ichan for him to smile a bit. "Thank you Eri. Who's the lady in the photo?" "Mommy." I nearly spat my drink out thinking of how Uraraka is motherly to her and who she thinks is her mother.

"Isn't that sweet. I'm sure Ochako would love to see this." '*snort* He's not even denying that it's Uraraka!' I was trying my best to hold in the urge to laugh as some butler dude came over to Ponytail to tell her something. "Lady Jirou, Kendo, Toga, and Uraraka are here my lady. Shall I escort them here?" "Yes please. Thank you." He bowed before leaving. "Keep forgetting that you're actually a rich girl." "I try not to think about it or make it a big deal. If it comes up in a conversation, I'll talk about it. If not, it's not needed to be said." 'At least she isn't a snob about it.' I go back to watching Ichan as his face started to get me irritated. "We gotta get his mind off whatever's bothering him." "I agree with you Bakugou, but how?" "Hey you two." Uraraka smiled at us while me and Ponytail got the same idea. "Hello, something for Ichan/Izuku to get his mind off of something." She didn't know what we were talking about to give us a confused look.

As Eri began looking at what I was working on, she started questioning some things. "What are you working on?" "Adult stuff sweetie. So are you handling being in the house a little better now?" "A little. I'm still very lost when I try to find the bathroom or your room." I patted her head as she hugged me. "Give it time. You'll get better with moving around here soon." I glanced over to see Kaachan and Momo come over with Ochako between them. "Hey Izuku, can you run a few errands with Ochako for me?" "Mommy!" Eri got up to immediately hug Ochako while showing her picture of us. Her eagerness was kinda funny for me to crack a smirk. "What kind of errands?" She handed me a list of about eight things to do with glancing down it. "Why don't you also bring Eri along. It could make for a way to get her out of the house and you're passing a playground on the way too." I glanced at the Snowball who nodded to say she wanted to tag along. "Fair enough. Let's go."

We started walking out of the house before I noticed the five of them with a smirk on their faces. 'This is one of your plans, isn't it Kaachan.' I ignored this and kept walking with Eri on my shoulders since it's probably the safest place for her at the moment. "So what were you working on before that made you focus so much on it?" Ochako asked me this for a talk I had with uncle David coming back. "Remember when I said I Island was under you know who's control?" "Yeah." "Well you'd expect there to be some evidence of what he wanted to do there also, correct?" "Where are you going with this?" "*sigh* I talked to my uncle before we left with him going over everything on his servers to find no trace of the data he had prior to us coming there." "Nothing?" "Not a piece. From what he said they were doing, there should be terabit on terabit of information regarding the production and manufacturing of Nomus. But when we checked it before we left, all the information was transported off the server minutes after we landed on the island. The only thing I can think is 'he' made a safety measure against the heroes in case specific people came on the island."

We kept walking while seeing a TV shop showing my recording of I Island. "This is the first official showing that Thief actually exists besides witness testimonies. From what we can determine, he knew of an unknown faction leading I Island and forcing them to work on something against their will. Experts still do not fully know of Thief and his 'League of Vigilantes' motives, but the people do not fear him understanding he is a man who helps people. In other news-" "Seems 'Thief' is more famous now." "I guess he is. Along with his 'League'. I wonder what they will do next?" We walked away with a little bit of a chuckle being heard from me. "Daddy, you laughed!" I glanced up at Eri for her to explain. "I never heard you laugh before daddy." "Guess your father didn't have much to laugh about for a while." We continued our walk to a local book store to pick up a book Momo needed before heading to a beauty shop to grab a special lotion she uses as well when the weather gets warmer. we kept the momentum going for grabbing a few guitar picks Jirou needed along with a sewing kit for Kendo who had a rip in her favorite leather jacket.

"Ok, we're about halfway done. I say we grab a little lunch before continuing." "Shouldn't be a problem." We started to hear Eri's stomach growl with her hiding her face in embarrassment. "I guess that's three for three then. Any requests?" "Nothing spicy. I can't stand hanging out with Bakugou and seeing him eat spicy jalapenos whole. Brr, it creeps me out." "yeah, he's always had a thing for spicy food. I'm not one to talk since I grew up fine with it too, but I think this yakisoba shop over here is better for Eri and you." "Ohh, smells good." We walked over to the stand with the guy asking us for our orders. We just ordered two house specials along with a kid sized portion for Eri. When he brought it to us, I payed for us for Ochako not exactly thrilled I did. She eventually let this go for us to sit down and eat. Eri seemed to really enjoy it along with Ochako. I for some reason, couldn't taste it. 'I thought I was through with this. Why can't I taste anything?' "Hey Izuku." "Yeah-" I was cut short by Ochako shoving a bit of yakisoba in my mouth. "Why awe wou awaysh dwoing dwat?" "Cause it's fun." Eri started to giggle a bit with me being able to taste it now. 'WHY THE FUCK CAN I TASTE THINGS IF IT'S REGARDING THIS WOMAN!? IT MAKES NO SENSE!'

After eating with the only taste I could really have coming from the bit Ochako shoved in my mouth, we made our way down to our next destination. "So what did we need to get here?" "Says we need to get some special tea that is hard to get with this store holding it in stock." "What kind is it?" "Hmm...Gold Tips Imperial." We began walking in with the smell of the herbs and tea leaves filling our noses. "Daddy, my nose feels funny from all these smells." "I'll try to make it quick in here if it bothers you sweetie." She nodded with us going deeper into the shop.

"Aww, that was so adorable!" Himiko, Ponytail, Ears, Ginger, and me headed out to monitor Uraraka and Ichan's date together while enjoying the fact that the two looked like an actual family. "Kaachan, open wide~." "We're gonna lose them if we don't finish up quickly." "Aww, come on. Don't be a sour puss~." "*sigh* I said I wasn't-" Himiko shoved some of her food in my mouth to taste the nachos she got. "Wore wucky I wike deshe. *gulp* Not bad." We glanced over for Ears to have the same thing done to her by Ponytail. "...Now I see how this is hard on Ichan and you." "Worse when they tried to hitch me and Midoriya together." We started finishing up to see the three head out of the shop holding a few small bags of tea. One of the bags I saw was Uraraka's favorite tea. 'So you went to get some of her favorite tea Ichan, nice work.'

We began walking out with what we bought for Eri to finally get a chance for a little easy breathing through her nose. "You doing ok up there Snowball?" I glanced up on Izuku's shoulders to see Eri move her nose before letting out a little sneeze. 'She's so cute. Kinda makes me happy she sees me as her mother figure.' I stop for a second before realizing what I mentally said. 'WHAT DID I JUST SAY!? IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!' "Ochako?" "YES!" I glanced over to see Izuku and Eri look at me a little confused. "S-sorry, yes." "I was wondering if you mind stopping in here for a few minutes. Eri's been really good and I wanna get her something as a thank you for it." "Ok, but I'm paying for it since you payed for lunch and tea for me." "Yay, mommy's getting me a toy." Eri held her hands up with an attempt to smile being given to me. 'Aww, she's trying so hard. It's adorable!'

We walked in for me and Eri to enter into the store and head right to the girls section. While looking at the toys, we found a few action figures of female heroes. "What's this hero mommy?" Eri held up a figure of the pro hero Miruko. "That's Miruko sweetie. She's a rabbit person that likes to kick bad guys." "Like how aunt Jirou likes to kick that blond boy for hitting on her and saying weird things?" "*snort* Kinda." She looked at the figure before putting it back on the shelf looking what else was in the store. She started thinking very hard with a face that was making me laugh at how hard she was focusing on it. 'She's so serious about this. It's almost hard to keep from laughing.' She stopped searching when she saw something in the other isle. I glanced over only to see Izuku looking at something kinda heartbroken. I brought Eri over quietly to see it was a figure of his father with Izuku looking dead inside seeing it. To keep Eri from seeing something that will make her image of the man she calls her father different, I picked her up to bring her beside some other toys.

"Mommy, why was daddy sad seeing the toy of him?" "That wasn't daddy sweetie, it was your grandpa." She looked at me confused while I explained. "A grandpa or grandma are one of your parent's parents. Your daddy made a costume similar to his daddy's some time ago. Unfortunately, something happened and....your daddy can't see him ever again." This comment made the little snowball sad. She felt like it was her fault to start crying a little. "I-I'm sorry if it was my fault this happened." I patted her head before answering her. "It's ok Eri, it's not your fault. These things happen. Though we can't prevent them so much, they're gonna happen." I knelled down to her level before hugging Eri. "Why don't you go find a toy you want. Seeing you happy should cheer Izuku up." She understood before nodding to agree. "Ok mommy." She ran over to a couple of stuffed animals to start looking to see what she'd like. I glanced back at Izuku to feel kinda guilty for what I saw. 'I should've done more that day. Maybe Mr. Midoriya could've been able to see Eri at least once if I did.'

After she found what she wanted, I noticed Izuku come over to see what Eri picked out for her to show a green bunny with green buttons for eyes. She said it reminded her of her daddy to get a smile out of both of us. "Alright, lets go check out." We went to the cashier for the price to be kinda cheap for the rabbit with it kinda surprising me. Out of all the toys here, she got a little rabbit you could probably get at a pharmacy. While leaving, we did some of our final errands before heading back home. "We've still got some time. Wanna go play at a park Eri?" Izuku asked with Eri being a little worried. "Will there be people there?" She started hugging her little rabbit in fear of what types of people are there. "It's ok Eri, the kids there would most likely be nice others. They won't hurt you." Eri let a sigh out before slightly nodding yes to the question. "Alright then. You mind Ochako?" "Not at all. I think a little kid interaction with Eri could be a world of good."

When we got to the park, Izuku put her down for her to play on the play ground a bit while we sat on a bench nearby. "This is a nice park." "It is." Izuku seemed kinda distant while looking around. "Izuku...you ok?" He didn't answer me for a minute before finally saying something. "When I was little, I came to this park with my mom. She would regularly watch both me and Kaachan with aunt Mitsuki getting us lunch after she finished cleaning her house. Every time I saw my mother, she had a smile on her face to brighten anyone's mood. Even if someone was sad, talking to her would make them feel much more upbeat." "She sounded like a caring woman." "She was." I didn't know what to say. I might've not lived a comfy life, but I still had my family through it. Even today, my mom and dad try to keep in contact and be there for me when they can. For Izuku though, he really didn't have much for that option growing up. It's sad and infuriating that he has to suffer like this and I can barely do anything about it.

"L...I've made peace with what happened to her and dad." I'm pulled out of this to see Izuku hold a broken look. "I couldn't do anything when I was little because I had no way to help my mom. Dad might've had the fight to stop All Might be his final nail, but it was already halfway in before the final strike. I'm not happy these things happened, but I don't want them to haunt me more than they already are." I leaned my head on his shoulder while smiling. "I know it's hard, but you don't have to think you're alone. Eri wants you to be happy and was worried for you today. I was worried for you and regularly do." He started to lean his head on mine while hugging my side. "Thank you. I don't mean to have you worry, but thank you for being concerned for me." I smiled at this before moving my head to look at Izuku eye to eye. I was thinking we might kiss until I heard someone say something. "So young and bold these two are." I immediately pull back with a red tint on my face by some women looking at us. "Mommy, why is your face red?" Eri came over a little during this to ask her question. "N-n-no reason."

Izuku looked at his phone to see it was getting late to grab Eri and put her on his shoulders. "It's getting late. Let's start heading home." We both nodded before making our trip back to the Yaoyorozu's estate. while walking back, Izuku got a call from someone for him to answer. "Hello....What!? Call a mandatory meeting and have everyone there in two hours. I'll be there in thirty to go over a plan with you." He hanged up with both of us looking at him. "Daddy, is something wrong?" "Probably sweetie." "What is it?" He looked at me while answering me. "The lead to our next target was arrested and is being shipped to a detainment center as we speak." "So what are you gonna do?" "*sigh* I don't like this....but we may have to break him out of police custody before they get to the prison." "Wait, as in go against the cops and actually commit a crime!?" He looked at me with an irritated nod. 'How important is this guy?'

And that finishes this chapter. See how Izuku and everyone handles the fact they may have to actually commit a full blown crime next time. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading.
