*heavy breathing, the sound of machinery, the stomping of feet against the ground. that's all that could be heard as izuku was running on the treadmill*

Izuku"faster"

*Izuku pressed the button and the machine increased in speed from 5 to 10, sweat started to fall from his face as his breathing became faster, his eyes just became more determined*

Izuku"faster"

*Izuku pressed the button again going from 10 to 15, a jolt of pain shot through him from his spine as his closed his eyes tight and bit down on his lip almost hard enough to draw out blood*

Izuku:suck it up faster!

*Izuku ignored the pain and increased the speed going now at 25km/h his shoes slapping against the rubber equivalent floor of the machine and his chest rising an falling each deep breath he took as his breathing started to become erratic with the pain on his back increasing*

Izuku:not now...not yet....

*Izuku said threw gritted teeth feeling the metallic taste of his blood at the back of his mouth, as he pushed the button again now going 30km/h but one bad slip sends him flying out of the machine as izuku prepared his body for the pain someone caught him just in time and soften his impact*

Chizome:well that was a close one i say that's enough for today

Izuku:no...i need to keep going

*Izuku got up and was about to walk away when he felt the firm hand of his father*

Chizome:i wasn't asking come on walk with me let's have a chat

*Izuku grunted but relented as he walked with his father to the showers*

Chizome:get cleaned and get dressed we need to have a talk

*Izuku nodded and walked inside*

Bit later

*We see izuku still in the shower letting the water wash away his shampoo when he felt arms touch his shoulder*

Tsuyu:you let me die Kero...

*Izuku whipped his body around looking everywhere but seeing only himself and the steam, he turned his head back under the shower as those words echoed through his head it felt as if it was exhoing throughout the entire bathroom*

Tsuyu:you let me die

Izuku:...

tsuyu:you're not strong enough...

*Izuku started to make his hands in to fists as his body started to tremble*

tsuyu:you're too weak....

Izuku:stop it...

*That dream came back to live for lzuku and he saw it. He saw her*

*Those damn eyes moved and izuku felt as if those eyes looked at his very soul*

Tsuyu:why didn't you save me

Izuku:i said stop it!!

*Izuku punched the wall his vision was blurry from the tears falling down his face his fist was trembling as the blood trickled down it and mixed with the water*

Izuku: I'll get stronger, i won't let that happened. I won't let you die....

*Izuku took his fist out the wall and looked at his bloody knuckles his eyes harden*

Izuku:no matter what...

Scene change

*We see izuku and Chizome in a coffee shop izuku was drinking his cup of ice chai latte, the bandage around izuku's knuckles was prominent but Chizome didn't comment on it*

Chizome:so any reason you've been training so much?

Izuku:to be healthy

Chizome:that's a lie, you want to be healthy you keep with the exercises we usually do. The manager told me you've been coming to the gym a lot more often. He showed me the tapes so I'll be more blunt. Why are you doing the jail exercises again?

Izuku:....i need to get stronger to use what's left of it....

Chizome:what's left?

Izuku:one for all i can feel it while Mirió has the majority i have 5% of it inside of me and this isn't some embers type bullshit no. This is permanent, but i can't use it in the state i am now if i can just get back to the body i once had in jail I'll be able to use at least 3%. You can help me, with you're help i can become stronger i can protect tsuyu, Eri, i can protect those that matter to me...

*Izuku's voice was determined but his tone.... Chizome did not like the tone in izuku's voice it was "the ends justify the means" type of tone, Chizome closed his eyes and took a drink of his regular coffee*

Chizome:....smoking

Izuku:what?

Chizome: you're joints could cause harm to tsuyu by second hand. But you can't stop because you need it for your back pain

Izuku:you're point?

Chizome:you want to keep her alive? Stop smoking. Driving comes next, she could be in a accident caused by some drunk driver one night killing her. Stop her from going out of the house because of a wild animal got loose like a feral dog, finally we stop her from eating anything that's not organic since all those chemicals can kill her. That's were you're line of thinking is going to take you

Izuku:....you're not gonna help me. Are you?

Chizome:no son, i am not.

*Izuku crossed his arms his face frowning as if he ate something sour, that frown turn in to anger at his father, but also anger at himself that he even asked for help*

??? "they don't understand, you need to become stronger, you are too weak"

*Izuku heard the little voice of doubt inside his head say, his words were like venom that infected izuku's rational thinking. Izuku got up and placed his cash on the counter paying for his father as well*

Izuku:fine i can do this by myself. Just stay out of my way

*Izuku said in a harsh tone walking away, Chizome sighed and finished his drink*

With izuku

*We see him walking back to the gym to get his car when he looked at his arm, lifting it he took a deep breath*

Izuku:1%...

*OFA activated as a bit of electricity charged through izuku's arm instantly lzuku turned it off grunting in immense pain breathing heavily. Izuku holds his arm trembling from the pain, it felt was if his arm was being electrocuted all over again from 11 years ago from kaminari, the very thought made izuku angry as he got in his car and drove away*

Meanwhile, with Momo

*We see her busy with paperwork when the door opened. She frowned deeply and sighed as she knew the sound of those shoes*

Momo:hello father what can I help you with today?

*Momo said looking at her father with a smile while under that table momo was pressing her security button like no tomorrow*

Aoi:for one the location of Midoriya, two for you to visit Iida in the hospital

Momo:and why would I even consider doing any of those things? And please don't give me some garbage line like "I'm you're father" because we both know you don't see me as you're daughter. You see me as the mistake since i was supposed to be a boy you're greatest achievement, a successor to leave your disgusting legacy

Aoi:yes, you turned out more like you're mother with that venomous tongue

Momo:for that I'm thankful now answer my question

Aoi:for damage control you haven't visited Iida once think how that makes the yaoyorozu name look

Momo:like we're not interested in s family that puts there own interests before the well being of civilian? Oh I'm a gasped with the shame why...

*Momo froze as Aoi used the bell on her again, all momo could do is looked at his father who was smiling that calculated smile he's been giving her since she got her quirk*

Aoi: better now here's how this is gonna play out....

*The door was slammed open and Aoi was crashed to the ground by bill while Bob checked on the boss. Momo shook out of it and nodded at bob*

Momo:as you were saying father here's how it going to play out you are going to leave my office and leave this ridiculous business of a arrange marriage behind, i would rather lose the company then lose what little freedom i have left i have responsibilities chaining up in every aspect of my life except for love I'll be damn if you take that from me. I will choose who I will Mary not some senile old man who thinks he's still in charge. Bill, Bob, get this disgrace of the man out of my office don't be gentle and make sure he lands in the garbage where he belongs

Bob:yes ma'am

*Bill and Bob left with a scowling Aoi, izuku's advice become more and more tempting by the day for momo to just take away everything from her father. But a sick twisted part of her was stopping her, the part her father groomed in to her to always see him first, with a sigh momo got back to work*

Momo: maybe i can take tomorrow off and me and Eri can have a movie night or something oh that would just be lovely

*Momo said with a whimsical sigh*

Days later with Izuku

Izuku: I'll see you in a few hours love

*Izuku and tsuyu kissed for a moment before they both flinched hearing something falling inside izuku's shop, izuku took a deep breath and gave a sigh. Tsuyu gave him a smile of sympathy*

Tsuyu:just a few hours Kero. Better get in there and see what the 3 stooges did this time Kero

*Izuku gave a bitter chuckle as he got out and walked inside with Tsuyu leaving to get the errands done*

With Eri

*We see her walking around at the mall marking things off the list*

Tsuyu:dry cleaning check, groceries check, video game check, what's left... oh the book Zuku been wanting he is going to be so happy when i pick him up Kero

*Tsuyu muttered to herself as she kept walking not noticing she caught someone's eye who went walking towards her at a fast pace, tsuyu feeling she's being followed started walking faster. She heard her follower's footsteps going faster, tsuyu took a corner and when the follower took the same corner tsuyu was gone*

Mina:where did she go?

Ochako:mina i told you it couldn't be here you must be seeing things

Mina:i know what i heard uraraka

*See see tsuyu holding on the wall on top of her, as mina looked around fear started to grow inside of tsuyu as a drop of sweat started to make its way down from her face reaching the tip of her nose*

Tsuyu"move, move, move, move you stupid Kirby rip-off kero!!"

*As if in slow motion the sweat droplet fell from her face, just as mina was about to move she felt something wet hit her shoulder looking up she froze for a second seeing tsuyu there*

Mina:oh ochako~

Tsuyu:ah fuck me kero

Scene change

*We see a frowning tsuyu drinking her ice tea while on the other side of the table was a nervous ochako uraraka with a shy smile and a mina ashido with a smug smile on her face too....optimistic to notice that tsuyu didn't want to be here*

Mina:it's so good to see you girl! I knew it was you the second i heard you're cute little Kero

Tsuyu"fuck my verbal tick Kero"

Tsuyu:good for you, are we done here? Because I've got things to do kero

Mina:done? Tsu we literally just sat down

Tsuyu:no. You literally locked my arm with yours and dragged me her against my own will Kero

Mina: hehehe i guess I've become stronger it has been 11 years

Tsuyu:11 wonderful years where i didn't have to see any of you guess that's over now Kero

*Mina flinched and scratched her cheek giving and awkward chuckle*

Ochako:w..well i love you're outfit especially those earrings there so cute!

Tsuyu;thank you they do wonders hiding the burn scars i have Kero

Mina:burn marks?

*Ochako flinched looking down in shame*

Tsuyu:oh she didn't tell you? Well i was living with Inko Midoriya in her first house, when a huge group of izuku haters kkk looking mother fuckers came and started throwing Molotov cocktails at the house burning it one of those lovely bottles hit me in the head exploding on impact and burning me alive. Kero

*Even with her neutral tone both woman could feel the absolute venom coming out of tsuyu's mouth. Tsuyu looked at ochako with nothing but hatred*

Tsuyu: Now ochako would you like to tell the hospital visit or shall I? Kero

Mina:h...hospital visit?

Tsuyu:what? nothing? Not gonna talk? Oh what a shame guess I'll do it ke.ro.

Flashback

*We see tsuyu getting up from the hospital bed the room was far to stuffy and she wanted some air. Tsuyu moved slowly hugging softly the wall, her body still extremally delicate from having reconstructive surgery for 42 hours, the big scars were still there but the doctors managed to put everything back together. The door opened. tsuyu heard a gasp and something falling to the ground

*Tsuyu turned around and saw ochako uraraka there with flowers on the ground*

Ochako:t...tsuyu...

*Ochako said putting a hand on her mouth her eyes dilating seeing tsuyu's burned body, tsuyu puts on a robe and walked slowly to ochako*

Tsuyu:what....are....doing...here....Kero...

*Tsuyu said her voice extremely horsed thanks to a mixed of the smoke she inhaled and the fire burning her body more specifically her throat*

Ochako:i...i....i....i came to see you o...oh God Tsu i...im so so sorry i swear i didn't know!

Tsuyu:what....are...talking...about...ke...

*Tsuyu coughed violently, ochako went running to the table and coming back giving tsuyu a cup water which she drank it*

Ochako:i....the...the people who did this my....my family.....

*Ochako eyes widen as a cup of water was throwned close to her head shattering next to her, she looked at tsuyu who looked at her with nothing but hatred*

Tsuyu;you.... told them.... where....inko... lived...!!

Ochako:i..i..i I'm sorry i didn't know you lived there i didn't.....

Tsuyu:inko.... could've....died....i....almost... DIED!!!

*Tsuyu coughed violently again this time 2 nurse came in because of the noise one helped tsuyu to bed giving her another cup of water while another nurse moved ochako out*

Nurse:I'm sorry but you're agitating the patient you're going need to leave

Present

*Mina was in a state of shock looking at tsuyu closing seeing the remnants of the scar still there. Ochako was looking down completely ashamed as tears starting to fall from her face*

Ochako: I'm sorry....

Tsuyu:fuck you. Don't you dare cry you have no right to shed those tears you weren't the one that got burned, you weren't the one that almost died, you weren't the one that had to have reconstructive surgery, you weren't the one that now has to live with PTSD every.fucking.time i see a wine bottle. You weren't the one that lost there home and had to go in to hiding....

Mina:t..tsuyu i think that's enough i...

*Mina gasped when tsuyu raised her hand and was about to slap mina for daring to stop her. But nothing happened, tsuyu looked up with tears of frustration on her face to see who stopped her*

Ochako/mina:deku...
