Chapter 5 - Spoiling Eri


I sincerely wish I was the one to face Overhaul. I would have tortured him to the brink of death and then sent him to the police. However, I didn't need to lose any more of the Fuckers, which is why I had Dabi kill him. Did that fuck up with more evidence we could have got? Yes, but life should almost always be put over proof.

Except if you are Endeavor, but we won't count him because his attitude problem is more extensive than my IQ. To give you an idea on that, my IQ matches closely with Nezu's, a rat who has a quirk that makes him intelligent. Now that's an attitude. As much as I would love to diss Endeavor, that will be saved for another day.

Back on topic, let me spill the tea.

I arrive at the crime scene once more, pull back the sides of my hair with bobby pins, and go to work with a camera at hand. I start taking pictures of everything while forming an idea of what happened even though I know what happened. I can't say too much because that would be suspicious, but I need to say enough. While walking, I realize that Dabi did a bunch of damage, but that's expected with his quirk. Eventually, I arrive at the lab with the files on Eri, along with the experiments done on her. I almost break the protocol of opening it before snapping a shot of the scene. I need to figure something out for that. Anyway, as I go through the files.

Sigh...God, you suck. Why do you create this shit? Let me attempt to explain everything.

Eri's quirk is Rewind. Rewind gives her the ability to reverse time a person's body. In simplified terms, she can get rid of those wrinkles you have been trying to prevent for years in the matters of sections. This can also work on injuries; however, she isn't trained. Eri can bring a person's body before existence. That's what happened to her father on accident. As it turns out with her shitty luck, her quirk, if the science is done correctly, can destroy quirk factors.

What do I mean by science?

Well, it involved Eri's blood. A five-year-old girl's blood was being used to create quirk-factor destroying bullets. It wasn't like they were taking small amounts either. They were stealing large volumes that would usually kill a girl. Before she would supposedly die, Overhaul would use his quirk to heal her.

It's disappointing the shit I come upon in this career.

"Disgusting," I mutter underneath my breath. Of course, someone has to hear me.

"I assume you found something vital to the investigation, Izuku?" A male voice asks behind me. I spin around to see Sir Nighteye at the doorway. He closes the door behind him as he studies the room.

Sir Nighteye is an unusual man. On the outside, he looks heartless. He doesn't even have the standard hero attire. He seems like a tall AF businessman, but that works out well for him. His green and yellow hair is combed to the side. He's tall. He wears these sharp-looking glasses that hide his yellow eyes that could reveal him using his quirk. He's really tall. He wears an all-white suit with a red tie with white polka dots and brown dress shoes. Did I mention he was tall? Like, he's six foot seven inches (200 cm)! For comparison, I'm five foot three inches (162 cm). Overall, he looks serious besides the dumb tie.

Sir Nighteye's quirk is Foresight. After he touches someone and engages in eye contact, he can see his or her future for an hour. Once the hour is over, he must wait 24 hours to use it again. That's a very powerful quirk for a hero. More specifically, a hero involved in investigations.

"I found out the shit they were doing to the girl. Wait, why are you here?" It takes a moment for it to click, "Those were the guys you were after, isn't it?"

He sighs, "Yes. It seems like you have taken care of them. I must ask: why did you decide to kill them? Usually, you show restraint."

Before you break your dicks, yes. Sir Nighteye knows that I'm Virus. He's the only hero that guarantee knows that I'm Virus. He used his Foresight on me and learned through that. Why isn't he after me? Sir has tried, but he learned how vital I was in both ways. Oh, and I wouldn't let them capture me anyway. Therefore, rather than work against me, Sir has figured out a way to get along with me. It's weird, but we get through it. He is my most valued partner on the hero side besides Eraserhead, even though we don't work together as often as Eraser and I do.

Who knew that the only number one hero sidekick to ever exist would work with the number one most wanted vigilante? Not me! Anyway, Sir Nighteye also has beliefs that don't show, but they are there once you get to know him. I kind of line up to them, so that might be another reason.

I consider his question," They kill one of the Fuckers. Overhaul was too dangerous of a quirk to keep on a field, so I asked for them to be killed for the safety of my squad." He looks me over, scanning me for something. What? I can't tell you as social ques are not my strong suit. Did I mention he was a genius? He is. Not to the point like me as he would be able to catch me already, but he is.

"I'm sorry for the loss." I hum.

"It pisses me off because we have been together for so long. She was my go-to partner. After reading this, I wish he was still alive, so I can break into his jail cell and make him suck my dick."

"Care to explain what you found?" Oh, that might be useful.

"Do you know everything we know before this search?"

"Yes."

"That makes my life easier. The girl's name is Eri, and her quirk is Rewind; Rewind gives her the ability to turn back time on somebody's body. This can be a little bit, or in her father's case, out of existence. That's what got her in this mess. Overhaul learned her quirk and is-was trying to find a way to use her blood to make quirk-factor destroying bullets. With Overhaul's quirk, he can rewind her body before she dies while getting the maximum amount of blood for the experimentation. Thankfully, they only got it to do temporarily, and the resources to make the bullets are more expensive than Diamond Gucci Slides. I'm glad I got her out, but I should have been quicker. I have known for a month, Sir! Yet, she had to deal with a month here, at least! All offense, this place is trash! Horrible!" I start to growl by the end, but I take a deep breath to calm down.

"Why didn't you involve the heroes? Why did you wait so long?" Sir Nighteye presses. He knows how to get me.

"I wasn't risking anything. This whole thing got someone killed. It was one of those situations where the less information around, the better it goes. Besides, heroes take too long to get shit done."

"I understand. I wish that you didn't have to be involved."

"No need to worry, Sunflower. Let's head out so you can get some sun because I already got everything here." That manages to get a chuckle from him before he hides his smirk. We step out, and god damn, the sun is rising. Did I lose track of time again?

"You're lucky, the sun is starting the rise."

"Have I been in here for that long?" I look to see Sir nodding, his glasses reflecting the colors from the sunrise. Wait a moment. Hold the phone. Hold my cheese sticks. I think I just came up with a solution to my inconvenient camera problem!

"You have an idea?"

"Smart glasses! God damn, why didn't I think of that?! You know how much time I could save if I had everything on glasses?!" Like, I'm a dumbass! I already have it in my mask, so why can't I have it in glasses? Imagine how cute I would look in nerd glasses!

"That's an interesting idea. You can work on that once you get home and rest." Sir is trying to get me to sleep, eh? Well, fuck you, I do what I want!

"I'm going to print out the medical info on Eri, get some shit, visit the hospital, make sure dumbass eats, and go home to create the glasses because I need it in my life now. Oh, and do Walmart finances."

"When was the last time you slept?"

"Like I keep track of that!"

"You're going to get yourself killed."

"I'll sleep sometime this week." Sir Nighteye shakes his head.

"If I learn you pass out again, I'm making you go through everything we learned again, and you have to do it perfectly."

"I won't! See ya, Sunflower!" Completely ignoring what he has to say, I get on my motorcycle and zoom off.

---

After sending off a copy of the pictures to Sir Nighteye and going to the store for some shit, I head to the hospital. Logically, when I enter the hospital, I threw the stack of papers at Eraserhead, who was sleeping. On instinct, he jumps up while holding the documents. When he realizes it was me who did it, he uses his ineffective quirk on me. His eyes light up demon red and his hair floats. I tilt my head to the side, clueless.

"Eraser, why are you attacking the poor little quirkless boy?" I ask innocently.

"Poor little quirkless boy bullshit. Quirkless and short may be true-"

"Hey!"

"-but poor? You're the same brat that is the top detective in Japan for the past two years and solved so many cases others could not. Legally? No, but it works. Stop making yourself the victim."

"Salty, alright then. Here, I'll fix it!" I hand him a bento that I picked up on my way here, "Here, eat. Your baby pouches are not cutting it." Reluctantly, Eraser opens the bento and looks at it like I poisoned the bitch, "If I was going to poison it, I would have done it at the beginning of our relationship because you're annoying. Eat, dumbass. I didn't even touch it."

Eraserhead sighs before taking a bite of food. After the first bite, he eats through it rather quickly. Damn, I need to shove more down his throat. I have no idea how he is alive, but he is. I will let him eat in peace and speak to him later. I head to Eri's room. Huh, she's already awake. I'm surprised. She probably got like three or four hours of sleep. Nerves maybe? Either way, I'm talking to her.

Quietly, I enter the room, quickly catching Eri's attention. I notice that she still has my jacket on, so I guess it has become a comfort item for her. I need to remember that. I give her a pleasant smile, but I don't receive one in return. Now that is expected. I close the door behind me, "Hey Eri-chan. Do you mind if I come closer? I have some presents for you to fill this bland room. Oh, and things to do. I thought you wouldn't want to just sit here," I receive a nod, and I walk over to her," Mind if I sit?" Another nod. I sit down and place a sizeable glittery rainbow gift bag in front of her. I'm sorry, but I thought she needed color in her white room," Everything in it is yours. If the nurses try to take it, tell them that I brought it in. If they still steal it, text me, and I will get it back. Go ahead and open it! Oh, and take as much time as you need. We have plenty!" I give her another calm smile.

Eri shows some hesitation, but she carefully goes through the bag thoroughly. I focused on comfort items for now. Right now, the room she is in looks like the room she was in. I wasn't going to have it. I got her the following items; coloring books with colors, stickers, fluffy pillow, fluffy blanket, a light-up cat, an old phone I had with headphones so she can play music, and a few strands of white fairy lights.

It's not my fault that I want to spoil her. I have the money; therefore, I'm going to do it. She is going to be covered in so much fluff that she will be a fluffy unicorn with her little horn.

With permission from Eri, I set up the phone and cat for her so she can have a little light and music because the hospital sounds suck. I pull the lights out of the box, " Hey, Eri-chan, you mind if I walk around and hang these up?" I receive a nod. Going in my bag, I pull out hangers (Don't ask what I keep in there. At one point, I had a severed finger in there, so I gave up figuring out what I keep in there.)and start sticking them to the wall. Then, I grab the lights and hang them up. I keep the lights off, though. I want to see her reaction. It takes me a little while, past visiting time, but they can suck my dick because I'm not leaving till I make her comfortable.

"Hey, Eri-chan, you ready to see the lights?" I ask gently.

"Y-yes." Holy shit, she responded! I grin wide. I turn on the fairy lights and turn off the damn hospital lights to reveal a more comforting room. The cat light glows beside her, but I can see the sparkle in her eyes.

"You like it?" She nods. Then, she opens her arms, shocking even me, "Do you want me to hug you?" Once again, Eri nods. It takes everything not to tackle her down and smother her in love. Maybe I'm becoming too close with her, but oh well! Holding back my overloaded energy source, I sit down beside her and hug her with as much love as I can muster. I stroke her hair gently with my white gloves. We say like that for a few minutes until something slams into my mind like a subway.

GOD DAMN IT, I'M AN IDIOT!

I pry myself away from her and stand up, receiving a strange look as I bow down.

"I am so sorry! I broke the first rule in making a friend: I forgot to give you my name. I deserve to be knocked out for that. Anyway, Izuku Midoriya at your service! Call me Izuku or Izu. Once again, sorry I didn't start with that." There is silence for a moment. Then...

"I-Izu?" Eri tests the name on her tongue. I smile.

"Yip yip!" Before our conversation continues, the door opens up to reveal Eraser.

Eraser has the nerve to interrupt our bonding time, " Way past visiting time, kid. I'll let you say bye, but that's it." He looks around the room, noticing the lights. He doesn't say anything. I will be hearing about it later, probably.

"Way to ruin the moment, Jackass. Eri-chan, have you met Eraser? I know he looks like a child predator, but I promise you he is a good man. I have a feeling you will two will be meeting a lot more in the future." I get a blank look from him.

"Y-yes..." Eri responds, but she seems more tense.

"Do you mind if I tuck you in, sweetheart?" She nods, faster than usual. I adjust her in bed, lay her on the fluffy pillow, and cover her with the blanket. I stroke her head before pressing a kiss on her forehead, "Have a good rest, Eri-chan."

Giving Eri a final smile, I leave the room after Eraser and close the door.

Eraserhead takes a moment to run everything through his head before talking, "I'm impressed." Of all things, I didn't think he would say that!

"How come?"

"You, practically a sociopath, can get along with that girl. You're getting better."

"Yeah, I'm about to ruin that for you. Can we sit down and chat for a bit? I have something I believe you should be aware of." He looks at me suspiciously but nods as we go to the hallway and sit in the rigid chairs.

"This on the case? Better explain fast because I still have to go to UA despite not having a class." UA is the top hero school. I forgot he was a teacher there. Well, if you can even call him that. Eraserhead decided that this year everyone sucks and expelled them himself. Impressive, but understandable. You have to have the right mind to be a hero. You can have a bloody fantastic quirk, but if your mindset is shit, you will be a shit hero. Eraser makes my life easier by getting rid of some of the shit heroes before they become heroes. Too bad, we still have people like Mount Lady.

"Yeah. I'm getting straight to it then. Eri's quirk is Rewind; it allows her to turn back time on a human body. However, she doesn't seem to have much control over her quirk. I believe they are going to try and make you a guardian as you can erase her quirk. You should know the rest of the reasons." I can see the shock in his eyes, but it doesn't spread to his face.

"Izuku, I'm a full-time hero and teacher. How am I suppose to pull off taking care of a child?"

"I don't expect you to because you can't take care of yourself. That's why I have a proposal." My stupidest idea yet.

"This is going to be interesting."

"You're absolutely right, Pinky! Now, I think we can both agree that Eri likes me. You know Mom, and I own a house, right?"

"Yet you live in Walmart?" Ass.

"Moving forward, Mom, you, Eri, and I will move into the house so we can take care of each other. Someone will always be around to take care of Eri, and you and Eri will have a mother-figure through her as well."

"Did you ever ask your mom if she agreed with this?"

"Of course not! Once she sees Eri, she will agree. She happens to like you. Oh, and I can teach Eri as well since she can't go to school immediately!"

"If I get asked, I will consider your offer as it's logical. For once, you created something logical, yet it makes me suffer."

"You suffer either way."

"True. I should be heading to class. I'm not needed since we know the quirk now. I hope that she doesn't have to be injected with quirk suppressant because of an accident."

"You and me both. Welp, I have to build some glasses and do finances, so see you later!" I get up and walk off safely.

I'm surprised he didn't attack me over comparing his look to a child predator. To be honest, his look is suspicious as fuck. I guess I did lower his standards about me quite a bit. Or maybe it's the shock that I'm kind to Eri? Either way, as long as I don't get beat up, I'm good!
