Days later, since the last chapter

*We see Izuku and Tsuyu having breakfast together, just going through their routine when Tsuyu says something that brings pain to Izuku.*

Tsuyu: Something's coming; I can feel it.

*Izuku groaned and landed his head on the table, landing on his pancakes. It was pain, but it was cringe pain, and he started to mentally curse his mother.*

Izuku "Damn you, mother, it's one thing that you infected Ryuko, but to infect my tsuyu to believe this. Charlatan's lies have you no shame?!"

Izuku: Tsuyu, honey, love of my life, just because madam Quackadoo said you're going to have a bad day doesn't mean shit that woman is a hack!

*Tsuyu left for the kitchen, getting a new plate of pancakes.*

Tsuyu: Wasn't she right about your day months ago? kero

*Tsuyu came back as Izuku lifted his head. *Tsuyu swapped the plates as Izuku cleaned his face, taking an aggressive bite of his pancake.

Izuku:1 time! One time, that woman was right! It's just a coincidence!

Tsuyu: Uhu, you want more coffee, Kero?

Izuku: Please, and please tell me you're not considering staying home all day; even with your games, you'll get bored.

*Tsuyu started filling Izuku's cup; most couldn't tell, but Izuku could see the small changes in Tsuyu's face and could tell she was seriously considering her options; it's all in her eyes.*

Tsuyu: I guess you're right; I'll go with you to your shop if anything happens.

Izuku: You know I'll protect you.

Tsuyu: I was going to say I could push you to the problem and make a run for it, Kero.

*Izuku did a small spit take as he couldn't help but chuckle. Tsuyu sat down with an amused smile, resting her head against her hand while she ate. Like always, Izuku was one of the few that could understand her dry, dark humor.

Later, with Momo

We see her on patrol. While the back of her mind was still in high spirits, whenever she would see her phone, she would giggle as she had Zuzu's and Little Froggy's phone numbers.

Fans: Oh my God, it's the pro-hero creati!!

Momo looked and smiled as a small group of girls ran up to her.

Fan1: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I'm such a huge fan. Can you sign some things?!

Momo: Why, or course, honey, I would just love to sign anything. What is it?

*The fans jump in nervous excitement as she takes out her drawing book and shows her what she wants; it makes Momo sick to her stomach.*

*An old picture of her wedding with... *

Momo: You want me to sign that.

Fan 1: Oh, not just me!

*Multiple of the girls showed different pictures of Todomomo, but since I have a heart, I won't subject you all to more than one. Momo couldn't help but have a memory of this morning.*

Flashback

*We see Momo and Eri enjoying breakfast when Jirou comes out of her room looking awful.*

Momo:Kyo, you look...lovely.

Kyoka:piss off, momo. I'm not in the mood.

Kyoka sat down on the table, grabbing the milk and cereal.

Momo: I'm going to take a guess that this has something to do with Denki, so what did he do?

Kyoka: Nothing; it's what he will do that's pissing me off.

Momo:...explain

Kyoka: I read my horoscope from Madam Quackadoo, and it said, "An old flame, it's going to do a huge declaration of love in a public space." That moron is going to humiliate me; he knows I don't like shit like that!!

Momo: "Kyoka, it's a fucking horoscope from a newspaper; it's not real!

Kyoka: You said that months ago, and yet you still found Midoriya!

Momo:that's different! That was a wonderful coincidence, nothing more! Nothing is going to happen!

Kyoka: Oh, you're right, then that means you have nothing to worry about since all your horoscope said was "and old flame will make an appearance in the most disgusting way."

*In the background of those two bickering, they didn't notice that Eri was holding on to everything she had to not start busting out laughing. Was she petty for doing this for being grounded? Maybe, but in her defense, she is really bored.

Present

Momo,fuck madam Quackadoo."

Momo, with a forced smile, signed her name on every disgusting picture until there was one girl left.

Momo: Is there something wrong, honey? You were the only one that didn't give me such a lovely picture.

Minako: It's just... I didn't want them to see this.

Minako took a photo out, and it made Momo gasp and put her hand over her mouth.

Minako: You look a lot happier here.

Momo: I was. Believe me, I was....

*Momo gave a watery smile as Momo gave her a real autograph, even leaving a small note making it extra special. Momo cleaned the small tear that fell from her eye and petted Minako's head.*

Momo, now run along with your friends; I have to go back to work.

Minako smiled, giving Momo a small quick hug before running away. Momo smiled softly as she saw the girl reunite with her friend. Her mood soured when she felt a gust of wind, and she knew who was behind her.

Momo:piss off Iida

Iida: Oh, come now, no need to be like that. I even brought you your favorite treat.

Momo: I would rather die a cold, hungry death than take anything from you.

Momo started walking when Iida made a mistake. She grabbed Momo's wrist.

Momo:let.me.go.

Iida: I will, as soon as you listen, do me. Our families are having dinner to clear the air between us and to be able to finally get this partnership on the right foot.

Momo, oh, how romantic a counter offer!

In a flash, Momo turned around and tasered Iida right in the neck, making him scream and pass out. Momo kneeled down, grabbing his wallet and taking all his money, not that she needed it, just to be petty.

Momo:for my time

Momo walked away, leaving a twitching iida on the ground.

Back to Izutsuyu

*We see them in Izuku's shop. Izuku was busy giving a car a tune-up in the hot garage while Tsuyu was in the back with the A/C cataloging the parts they had in store. *Izuku heard the footsteps of someone coming closer to him.

Izuku: I'm sorry, we're not taking any new customers at the moment. Please come back later.

Excuse my intrusion, but I want to speak with my daughter.

Izuku: daughter?

Zuku turned around, and his mood went from confused to absolutely livid.

Izuku: I see. What makes you think she's here? I'm sure your wife told you she was in Africa until next month.

Ganma: Yes, she did. That doesn't mean I can't talk to her.

Zuku leaned back with his arms crossed, using the hood as almost a seat.

Izuku: Ah, I see i see and you think I'm going to give you her new number? If it was Satsuki, then yes, I'm obligated to give her the number. You're wife, maybe, but why, in the name of magneto, would I ever give the number of my fiancé to a man who puts his hands on his own daughter?

*Izuku said his tone was showing complete disgust, more disgust than when he talks about Denki, Iida, or even Todoroki, since Izuku takes his rule extremely seriously: "A father should never put his hands on his child," and Ganma broke that rule.*

Ganma: Yes, I harmed Tsuyu in ways that will haunt me for the rest of my life, but I want to make amends. I want to seek forgiveness, so please allow me at least that if she wants nothing to do with me, then at least satsuki or beru. I'm more than fine with that. I just want to know she's ok.

*The door of the back was opened, and not since that day 10 years ago did Izuku feel such dread.*

Tsuyu:izuku I heard a noise. Are you with a customer? I thought we agreed that no more, we have more. Enough for our vacate...

*Tsuyu froze as she saw in front of Izuku the man who harmed her, the man who kicked her out, who took all her stuff and left her in the cold to rely on herself.* She saw her father.

Meanwhile, with Eri

*We see her jumping out of the way as Nejire shoots her a wave motion.*

Nejire: You're quirk is close range. What are you going to do when you're up against a long-range user?

*We see her in the training grounds training with her new mentor, Nejire Hado. Eri ran inside an abandoned building.*

Nejire:wrong choice

Nejire used her quirk to block all existence, destroying the doors.

Nejire: And now that you are out of commission, I could go on a rampage, practice, and fix it.

Eri used her rewind to fix the building and got out, sulking.

Nejire: Alright, guide me through your thought process.

Eri: I thought if I could make it to the roof, I could jump and catch you while you flew.

Nejire; not a bad idea on paper, but you don't have a speed quirk; it would have taken too long, and it would have given the villain time to cause a lot more damage.

Eri: Alright, so what was I supposed to do?

Nejire: I'll leave that as homework for you to figure out, and don't think about asking your father for help.

Eri: What makes you think I even know where he lives? Hell, where he even is

Nejire: No reason, just making sure. Let's go get something to eat. I am starving.

Nejire walked away with Eri following, squinting her eyes slightly.

There was no reason for her to add my father to the conversation, so why add him? Did she think I would slip and tell him I knew where he was? Or am I thinking too hard about it, looking for ghosts where ghosts don't exist?"

*Eri kept having the mental fight within herself as she walked north and noticed a face coming out of the wall; Mirio was there and saw the whole thing.*

Mirio: One step closer...

Now back to Izutsuyu.

Gramma was in a state of shock seeing how her daughter grew in the last 10 years.

Zuku got in front of Ganma, blocking his view of Tsuyu.

Izuku: Alright, so I think you've overstayed. You're welcome. I'll ask you nicely to leave.

Ganma: I just want to talk.

Izuku: I think you've said what you wanted to say eight years ago when you...

Tsuyu: izuku...

Without even noticing, Izuku walked closer to Ganma in a threatening manner. Izuku took a step back and looked at Tsuyu.

Tsuyu: Please wait outside; I can handle this, Kero.

Izuku: you sure?

*Tsuyu nodded. *Izuku looked back at Ganma before sighing. *He nodded and started walking away. *He stopped when he was next to the man. *

Izuku: Tsuyu, you know how I always keep my promises?

Tsuyu:yes Kero?

*Izuku and a bit of OFA, more specifically Nana, who gave him a bit of extra strength, punched Ganma, sending him to the ground, nose bleeding. *Tsuyu sighed, nodding her head, but a small smile crept on her face.

Izuku: Damn, I think I broke two fingers, but my god, it was worth it.

Zuku walked away while Ganma got up.

Ganma: I can't say I don't deserve that.

*Tsuyu* walked up to her father, giving him a handkerchief.

Tsuyu: No, no, you cannot clean the blood off your nose. I don't want blood dripping in the shop.

*Ganma nodded and did as he was told; he couldn't help but keep looking at his daughter; she grew up so much in the last 10 years.*

Ganma: you....look lovely

Tsuyu: Thank you. I got my bluntness from mom, so I'll ask you what you are doing here.

Ganma; I thought it was my duty as your father to check on you and see how you've been holding up.

Tsuyu; duty? Well, father, where was that duty when I needed it 10 years ago? Where was it when I got kicked out of UA for searching for the truth? Where was it when I needed a place to stay? Where was it when you were screaming about how big of a mistake I made as if it were your life? Don't give me that duty crap since a father's duty is to protect his daughter and support them in their decisions to protect them from the world, but you didn't do that, did you?

Ganma:tsuyu I'm...

Tsuyu, save it. Your apologies won't make up everything I had to go through. Simply go away. You know who I could count on? Inko Midoriya was a complete stranger, but when I asked for help, she gave it without a second thought. When she found out I was living in a shitty motel in the bad part of town, she opened her home for me. That saint of a woman helped me someone she didn't know anything about apart from me being a friend to her son, while what did my family do? My siblings despise my fiance,mother did nothing to help me not even answering when i called her, and then there's you, you who kicked me out of you're house, you who took everything i had, you who slapped me so hard i could feel blood in my mouth so no i don't accept you're apologies, i still love my siblings they're just kids that's didn't know any better i can give mother a second chance she's always been weak when it came to having a spine i can rebuild my relationship with her but it will never be the same as it used to be, but you?, I want nothing to do with if you die i wouldn't even spare a second glance and treat you like a stranger since my father died 10 years ago now whoever you are do me the biggest favor you could ever do and get the hell out of this shop and never come back

*Tsuyu turned around and walked further inside once she closed the door to the backroom. She collapsed against the door, tears falling from her face. She's been waiting 10 years to get that off her chest. Even after so much waiting, she was still not ready for what it meant to call her father out and disown him.

Meanwhile, outside moments before

*We see Izuku enjoying a smoke with his eyes close, just enjoying the moment when a shadow interrupted his sunlight, making him frown. He opened his eyes and saw Momo there, looking at his injured hand.*

Izuku: it's fine Just two broken fingers, no different then when I was in UA. I almost forgot how it felt, if I'm honest.

Momo;.......

Izuku: I got it, punching Ganma; Tsuyu's father, the bastard, broke the rule and he needed to pay; wasn't good enough of you, ask me.

Momo sighed and created a first-aid kit.

Momo: Let's go to that bench. I'll patch you up.

*Izuku nodded, and they did, so it was quiet while Momo patched izuku up except for the occasional grunt of pain from izuku.*

Izuku: I didn't know you could heal.

Momo: They taught us in the 3rd year of hero school. I know almost as much as a doctor. Heh, you should have seen Mina's face when she saw the book she needed to learn.

*Izuku gave a snort of amusement as Momo finished it.*

Momo, I would say get yourself some painkillers, but with those joints you have in your pocket, you should be fine.

Izuku: thanks momo,....... so...how.....are .. things

Momo: Are you still terrible with small talk, I see

Izuku:fuck you

*Momo giggled as she got a little bit bold and rested her head on his shoulder, Izuku letting her have this one since she did patch his hand up.*

Momo: I'm not the best, if I'm honest. I need to go to a disgusting meeting with Iida and his family in order to "save the Yaoyorozu name" by having a political marriage.

Izuku: I thought you were the head of your company. Why are you still listening to that man?

Momo, it's complicated.

Izuku: Take the bell away; he has no power; get a restraining order; he has no voice; take away his money; he has no resources; you have all the cards; you just refuse to play them.

Momo: So what do you want me to do with what you did to all of you?

Izuku: Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but out of the two of us, who's the one who's happy and who's miserable?

*Momo scoffed. They didn't talk much after that until Izuku saw Ganma walking away. Izuku got up and started walking when he stopped and gave a huge sigh.

Izuku: You know, Tsuyu just went through something dramatic with her father. She could use a friend who knows what that's like.

*Momo opens her eyes in surprise as that was another step in getting closer with the two. She got up and quickly walked past Izuku. She looked and then blushed, embarrassed since she forgot about the cane and how Izuku now had to walk slowly.*

Izuku: Don't need you're pity, momo. Go ahead of me; I'll be right behind you.

*Despite his words, Momo stayed and waited for him. When he reached her, they walked together, with Momo walking slower so Izuku could keep up.

They made it inside. Momo waited by the cars while Izuku walked further inside. He followed the sound of crying, which made his heart beat faster with worry as he found Tsuyu, her hands covering her face. Izuku kneeled down and softly grabbed her, taking them out of her face. She looked at him, her tears not stopping as she jumped to him and wept on Izuku's chest, her safe space, while Izuku rubbed her hair, keeping her as close to her as he could. His eyes darkened a little bit more that day.
