"well Eri are you ok?" Said Izuku as he knelt down and gently placed his hand on the top of her head.

She immediately flinched thinking he was gonna hurt her. But instead she was met by a warm hand gently rubbing her head. For as long as she could remember she never felt this feeling before.

Izuku went to take his hand off her head when she quickly grabbed his hand and put it back on her head.

"Who could hurt such a innocent looking girl" said Ochako looking at all the bandages on her along with how skinny she was.

"We should call the police" said Shinso looking horrified that someone would hurt a little kid.

"There you are Eri" a very large, muscular man with long, light brown hair, with his face hidden beneath the plague mask. "Sorry for my daughter bothering you, come on Eri let's go".

Izuku didn't believe him for a second because he could sense his negative emotions and true feelings thanks to his heavenly flames.

"Then why does she seem so scared to go to you" said Izuku.

"Because she was scolded" said Rappa slightly annoyed.

"And her injuries?" Said Izuku.

"She's clumsy... But don't worry we have a doctor to heal her" said Rappa.

Izuku immediately felt nothing but pure fear coming from Eri when he said that and also felt her start shaking.

He slowly bent down and whispered in her ear "did he hurt you?".

Eri slowly nodded her head and that was all the confirmation he needed.

"Look kid I tried being nice but I'm only going to tell you once. Let. Her. Go." Said Rappa.

"So you can hurt her again? I don't know who you are but I feel nothing but pure fear coming from her thanks to my quirk. So why don't we take this up with the police" said Izuku.

All of Izuku's friends were getting ready to fight while Himiko sent a SOS message to All Might before she got ready as well.

"Fine then I guess I'll have to kill you all" said Rappa.

"Stay here Eri" said Izuku before he disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared with his right fist in Rappa's stomach.

Rappa bent over and puked out his lunch from that one punch.

"If there is one thing in this world I truly hate... It's child abusers" said Izuku.

Rappa clenched his teeth and reared back his fist and tried to punch Izuku, only for him to grab his hand like it was nothing.

"What the fuck!?" Said Rappa in shock. But before he could do anything else he was met by a fist that sent him flying down the alley and slamming into a dumpster unconscious.

"Thank God he underestimated me" said Izuku with a sigh before he felt someone hug his leg tightly. He looked down and saw Eri was holding onto his leg like a life line and was shaking.

"Damnit I wanted to fight that bastard" grumbled Katsuki.

"Maybe next time Katsuki" said Mei.

"I AM HERE!!!" Yelled All Might who landed on the ground and looked like he was ready to take on Japan by himself.

"A little late All Might but thanks we could use your help" said Katsuki who then started to explain the situation.

"I see well don't worry since you were protecting that little girl I'll just say I took out the villain" said All Might.

"Thank you All Might" said Izuku.

Izuku and his friends were all at the local police station waiting for their parents or guardians. As they were Izuku was holding Eri who refused to let go no matter what and wouldn't let the doctor get near her.

He looked down at the girl who was sitting in his lap and was gently rubbing circles in her back to make her feel better.

"Izuku! Are you ok?" Asked Nana coming in and seeing her grandson.

"Yeah grandma I'm ok, it's her I'm worried about" said Izuku gesturing to Eri.

"Mhm she refuses to let go of him and the one instant they did she was panicking before he quickly came back" said Himiko.

"'sigh...' in simple terms she's imprinted on you, she views you as the only safe place on the world.

It's common for people who faced extremely traumatic experiences to latch on to someone who showed them kindness and not let go" said Nana. In her years as a hero she's seen it countless times, but seeing this girl. She doesn't even know what kind of hell she went through.

"So what should we do?" Said Izuku.

"Take her home with you" said Mei.

"M-mei I can't just do that!" Said Izuku.

"Why not?".

"I can't just bring her home with me, I'm a complete stranger" said Izuku.

"Well honey you might not have a choice, because if we separate you two she'll start to panic and not trust anyone most likely" said Nana.

"I agree and that's why I was able to convince my boss to allow it, plus who your brother and grandma are helped convince him" said Tsukauchi.

"Alright... Well Eri I guess your coming home with me" said Izuku gently.

Eri didn't understand what he meant but nodded her head, as long as she's with him she doesn't care because he makes her feel safe. Even though she just met him she knows he is the only safe place for her.

"Alright well how about you head home Izuku while I finish talking to the police ok" said Nana.

"Ok grandma" said Izuku before he stood up while picking Eri up and carrying her. "Alright guys I'll probably see you tomorrow, get home safe" he waved to them before he headed out the door.

"Bye Izu/Izuku/Deku/Shimura" said His friends as they all waved goodbye to him.

"Ok Eri we're home" said Izuku entering his house and looking down at her. "Alright I'll go and get you a bath ready and why don't you have a quick look around".

Eri nodded but didn't move and still held on to his hand.

"Eri you can let go" said Izuku gently before he realized his mistake.

"W-what.. p-please don't go!" Said Eri as she tightly squeezed Izuku's hand thinking he was going to leave her and started to cry.

Before Izuku realized it he quickly scooped her up in a hug and gently rubbed her back as she continued to cry.

"Shhh no no I'm not leaving you ok" said Izuku gently before he started to walk towards his room to find something for her to wear. After a couple minutes he found a old shirt of his and a old pair of sports shorts for her.

He headed to the bathroom and started to run a bath with one hand because she was still holding on to the other one.

"Ok Eri the bath is ready" said Izuku he noticed the dirty bandages still on her because she wouldn't let the doctors or nurses near her. "Ok I'm gonna have to take these off along with your shirt so I can help clean you ok?".

Eri grabbed her arms in fear because of all the scars on them "with these you'll be seen as a monster, the same one that killed your father". Said Overhaul in her head.

Izuku noticed that she didn't want to at first so decided to gently coax her into it "how about we get you in the bath then we take them off?".

Eri simply nodded and let Izuku take her shirt off before he gently picked her up and put her in the bath tub.

Izuku reached over and grabbed the shampoo and put it in her hair and started to work all the grim out of it while also keeping it out of her eyes. Soon he was done and washed it out before he lifted up one of her arms to start undoing the bandages.

As all of this was happening Eri was tightly holding onto his shirt and only let go for a moment for him to clean her arm, then immediately grabbed it again.

"What kind of monster could do this to a little girl" thought Izuku as he very gently cleaned her arms to no hurt her because of the scars.

After a 40 minute long bath to make sure she was clean he took her out and dried her off before he handed her some clothes.

"T-the b-bandages.." said Eri not wanting to see her scars or him end up being disgusted with her because of them.

Izuku smiled and grabbed some bandages before he started to wrap them up on her arms. After that he took her hand and led her to the kitchen where Nana was making some dinner.

"Hey dinner is almost done you two" said Nana who decided to make a simple dinner of fish and rice with some veggies.

"Thank you grandma" said Izuku who picked Eri up and put her on one of the chairs and he sat next to her and pulled her closer so she could still hold him.

Nana who was watching this from the corner of her eye couldn't help but smile at seeing Izuku's natural father instincts kicking in even though he didn't know it.

"Alright you two dinner is done" said Nana placing the food down before she sat down and started eating after a quick prayer.

Izuku was about to begin eating when he saw Eri looking at him as if asking if she was even allowed to eat. "Go on Eri it's yours and you can have as much as you want".

Eri looked at him shocked because she was allowed a lot of food, before she was only giving enough to barely keep her alive.

She tried to copy Izuku and use the chopsticks but couldn't no matter how much she tried.

"Here let me help you" said Izuku as he took her chopsticks and picked up some rice and fed it too her "good?".

"Mhm" said Eri as she finished chewing before she motioned she wanted more.

"Oh I'm so telling the girls that your gonna be a great father" thought Nana watching this and planning to mess with Izuku more.

After a while they all finished eating with Eri almost falling asleep because of her full belly.

"You might wanna take her to bed Izuku" said Nana watching Eri struggle to stay awake.

"Okay grandma" said Izuku as he picked her up with her immediately latching onto him "goodnight grandma I love you".

"Love you too Izuku" said Nana.

Izuku arrived in his room and gently pried Eri off of him and put her on the bed where he quickly got changed the took her to the bathroom.

"I know your sleepy but let's brush our teeth first then go to bed" said Izuku as he watched Eri sleepily nod her head.

He didn't have a spare toothbrush so he cleaned his before he gave it to her and she looked at him confused on what to do. So he showed her how to brush her teeth and once she was done he cleaned it and brushed his.

"Alright Eri let's go to bed" said Izuku as he picked up the almost asleep Eri and brought her to his bed. He gently laid her down before he got into the bed where she immediately grabbed him and almost immediately falling asleep.

Izuku gently rubbed the top of her head "what kind of monsters could hurt a innocent little girl" thought Izuku. "I promise no one will hurt you again Eri" he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her forehead before he went to sleep as well.
