Chapter 06
Meanwhile,
League of Villains' hideout...
Third Person's POV
"DAMN IT! WHERE THE HELL DID NASHIRO GO?! EVEN IZUKU ISN'T HERE!
Tomura's furious yelling rang through the entire building of the villains' hideout. His subordinates -- except for Dabi, Yuki and Kurogiri -- were hiding somewhere in the base, afraid of their leader's rage.
Dabi, who was carrying Kurona in his arms, patted the jet black-haired girl's back comfortingly. She had been crying non-stop ever since she noticed her little sister was missing. Even though Dabi was there, she wouldn't stop wailing. This whole stressful situation was affecting the toddler's emotion too.
"U-uwaaaa!!! M-Mommy!!"
Kurona sobbed, her fat tears gradually drenched her father's clothe. Dabi heaved out a sigh of exhaustion as he kept rocking his crying daughter.
Tomura growled under his breath before he seated down himself on the bar stool. His fingers wandered through his ashen blue lock, frustration and worry evident in his eyes.
"Did you manage to track them down, Yuki?" Kurogiri asked the young doctor eagerly. He turned to the screen displaying a map. A small red circle was also shown on the screen.
"I couldn't pinpoint Izuku-san's location... She most have deactivated the GPS in her phone." Yuki gritted her teeth concernly. Her fingers danced on the keyboard, trying her hardest to search for Izuku's and Nashiro's whereabout.
Dabi just quietly listened to the two villains' serious conversation, while his eyes fixed on his sharemate. He wasn't in good shape. The bluenette seemed immensely depressed and anxious.
"....Did I do something wrong?" Tomura spoke up, mumbling to himself. Dabi focused his attention to the League leader. "Did I unconsciously upset her? Is that why she ran away with Nashiro?" He was drowned in his dark thoughts.
"...Maybe she just went for a long walk with Shiro..." Dabi murmured under his breath. Kurona had calmed down but she was still sobbing.
The rustling sound coming from the front door attracted all criminals. In unison, their heads turned to the brown door. The doorknob was slowly turning before a familiar -click- sounded. Thus, opening the door.
Words couldn't describe how shocked the villains were when Izuku walked into the bar. Nashiro in her arms, and an unknown girl with pale blue hair clutching on her leg.
"Izuku!" Dabi, Kurogiri, Tomura and Yuki yelled her name at the same time. This caught the other League members' attention so they went down stairs, after hiding for a while.
"Where did you go?! Leaving the base unnotice like that! You even brought Nashiro with you—"
"Tenko, calm down. Overhaul called me so I went to his operation base just now." Izuku immediately cut Tomura off, wanting to cease his panic.
"THAT BIRD B—"
"He is dead." Izuku bluntly announced to her comrades. They weren't expecting such news so this was shocking.
"... Overhaul is dead?" Tomura was clearly in disbelief.
"Yeah. I killed him. Turned out, the crux of his plan was this little girl's blood. I couldn't believe he abused an innocent child to achieve his dream... So I..." Izuku lifted her head up, staring at the villains' faces one by one, letting them guessed the continuation of her sentence.
"Well, does that mean the yakuzas want to get revenge for their dead leader now?" Dabi asked, approaching her girlfriend. Eri hid behind Izuku, feeling scared.
"... I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe not. If they do want to get revenge, then I suppose we can't avoid the bloodshed that is about to happen." Izuku casually stated as she put Nashiro down, since she kept reaching out her arms to her father.
"So, uh... Are you trying to say we should prepare ourselves in case they attack us?" Spinner spoke up behalf on his friends. Izuku shook her head.
"I doubt they are going to attack us." Confidently assured, the shadow leader flicked a thumb up for the villains. "Anyway, I will tell the rest of the details later." Suddenly, she held Eri's small hand in her bigger one.
"Let's get you clean and neat first." A smile mustered on Izuku's freckled-face. Eri nodded her head, holding her hand shakily. She was quite nervous to he surrounded by evildoers.
With that, Izuku brought Eri upstairs to the bathroom to clean her.

After several moments,
Izuku's room,
Morning...
Izuku's POV
I brushed my messy curly hair after drying it with hairdryer. I was lost in my own thoughts, thinking of the sin I had committed in the past.
The sin of agreeing to use the Quirk-Destroying bullets.
If only... If only I knew Eri was being used as the source to make those destructive bullets.. I would never agree.
Idiot, me! I should have investigated first!
Why did I blindly agree to that heartless yakuza's idea?!
I put down the brush, staring at the reflection of myself in the mirror. I felt so pathetic. I was disgusted with myself.
Eri...
Currently, she is sleeping in the twins' bedroom... Tenko was staying in the children's bedroom too since he missed Nashiro. Poor him. Panicking a lot after she went "missing".
The moment Eri fell asleep, I realized... She seemed so exhausted but relieved. As if she had never had a peaceful sleep for a long time.
Little one, I can't imagine what Overhaul has put you through.
But rest assured. I won't let the same thing happen to you again.
"Izuku..." Dabi uttered my name, snapping me out of the trance. I turned to my boyfriend. He was closing the door behind him before walking over to me.
"How are you feeling, babe?"
"Mhm, good... Sorry for worrying you, sweetheart..."
"So, about that girl... Eri, right? What are you gonna do with her?"
"I don't know, Dabi. I was thinking of sending her to orphanage, but that just... Seems so cruel. I feel like that is a bad idea."
"...so that means we are going to adopt her then?"
I literally stopped breathing when I heard Dabi's question. I shifted my attention to him, disbelief clouding my face. A smile spread across his scarred face.
"Shigaraki seemed to grow attached to Eri... Maybe because they look alike. Their appearance I mean." Dabi exclaimed as his arms came to wrap around my shoulders. I admitted, I was surprised.
Tenko grows attached to children other than Kurona and Nashiro?
Now, that is... Shocking!
"So, what do you think? I don't mind adding another child to our... Family." Dabi whispered into my ear. He was smiling softly. I felt like crying. I couldn't believe they were willing to take her in to our family.
I was scared to ask my boyfriends because I thought they were going to decline. But now they are the one asking me to adopt her.
"I'm more than willing to take her in. Honestly, I don't want to be separated from Eri..." I confessed my true feelings to Dabi. "Well, it is decided then. Eri will be our daughter from now on." He declared, and I smiled happily at him.
And thus, our family grow bigger and become much more lively with the presence of our new daughter, Eri.
