chapter 18

Tenya had a frozen look seeing Izuku Midoriya at the other side of the table with his cane resting under his chin, next to him his pitbull lawyer, and finally there protection, Izuku's part-timer Bucky. As his brother wheeled him next to his mother,

Masaru: Well, not everyone is here; shall we begin?

Michi: Yes, what are your claims?

Masaru:simple slander since your client called mine a villain when he has been proven innocent. And I do hope you don't start with some idiotic notion that the public deems him a villain since public opinion has nothing to do with the law. To put it in simple words, we want money and a public apology for saying an outright lie.

Tenya:and apology? You want a public apology?!

Michi: Mr. Iida's, please...

Tenya slammed his fist on the table, looking at Izuku, who kept his neutral expression.

Tenya:no! He owes me an apology for freeing that bastard villain stain!!

Michi:Mr. Iida, as your lawyer, I'm telling you to keep quiet.

*Michi said in a harsh tone as Masaru grew a smirk.*

Masaru: With that tone, there's obvious hate for my client, which kind of throws out the "this wasn't planned" defense, don't you agree? Oh, the amount of money we want just increased to double.

Izuku:ejem if I may

*All eyes turned to Izuku, who looked at Tenya, his neutral, bored expression never changing.

Izuku: You want an apology? Fine I'm sorry I didn't let my father finish the job; I'm sorry I protected you; I'm sorry me and Shoto Todoroki had to sign a form to give credit to endeavor because you would've gone to jail for vigilantism; I'm so sorry you've had so much, you privileged little bitch.

*Izuku finished with a smirk as Masaru was trying not to laugh. Bucky coughed to hide his laughter. Masaru got up and looked at Michi and Tenya's mother, Hori Iida.

Masaru: I'll give you two minutes to decide the public apology and the money, or we can take this to court and give everything we have against you, like, for example, the video of your son calling Izuku Midoriya a villain that was world-wide. What do you think your chances will be of winning? You will lose and have to pay five times as much as we're asking since, honestly, we have bigger fish to fry, but if your little Mackerel wants to be eaten next to the big tuna we're fishing, go ahead.

Michi, give... give as a few moments, please.

Masaru, of course I'll leave the papers here so you can have a look at them. Our bodyguard shall stay behind for our own peace of mind.

*Izuku got up and walked away with Masaru. He walked slowly, making sure they all saw the cane and that he was not "faking" his injury.

Izuku: God, you really need to go to that fishing vacation you're always talking about.

Masaru: Who has time for that?

Izuku: Are you free Thursday? We could go. I'll invite my father and make a guy trip out of it. I'm sure NFY and Lucky will be out of the hospital by then.

Masaru: Hmm, that does sound nice. I'll get back to you on that. On other news, this is your final warning. Are you sure?

Izuku: Yes, for the Iida, I just want money, but Mirio? I want you to ruin everything he has and everything he loves i.want.it.gone

*Izuku said coldly, with venom coming out of his mouth with each and every word. Masaru nodded.

Masaru: Good, I already have one of my assistants in Greece.

Izuku:Greece?

Masaru: I heard through the grapevine that his marriage is basically on the rocks, so I'm having one of my assistants go there track nejire hado out and make her hire me as her client.

Izuku: Couldn't you have waited for when she came back?

Masaru: Nope, divorce lawyers are freaking vultures. The second she's off that plane, there'll be at least five lawyers waiting for her since this will be a big-time case of two extremely popular pro-life heroes going through a public divorce. Oh, I can see the media now.

Izuku: Still, it kind of stinks for that assistant.

Masaru: He's barely living his best life; all he has to do is make her hire me, and then he can take the rest of the month off in beautiful Greece, all expensively paid with his family.

*Izuku gave a low whistle as the door was opened and they walked back inside. They saw Tenya looking down, his hands bawled in to his fist, making the uncle and nephew duo smile with confidence.*

Michi: My clients have accepted the deal and want to sign it as long as this lawsuit doesn't make its way out to the public to keep their reputation clean.

Masaru, that's fine, but as it says in the contract, you have 30 days to issue a public apology on live TV, or we will take this to court.

Michi: I understand. Here's the paper already signed. The money shall be transferred by the end of the week.

Izuku: Lovely, thank you all for buying me and my romantic partner a new yacht.

Masaru took the papers, and he and Izuku walked off. Once out of the house, Masaru looked at Izuku.

Masaru: Do you really think that Tsuyu will let you buy a yacht?

Izuku: Fuck no, she would kill me. Going to the beach once in a while is fine, but Tsuyu and I are not saltwater people. With my skin being what it is and Tsuyu having a frog quirk, we're more of a freshwater people, like a nice lake or pond. Huh....

Masaru:what?

Izuku: How do you think Tsuyu would react to having a second home, like a vacation home next to a pond?

Masaru is not a bad investment. You will then have the money for it.

Izuku: It might be something to keep in the back of my mind.

Meanwhile, with Momo, Tsuyu, and Eri

We see them eating some fast food in the mall. After a full hour, they all finally settled on a dress for Eri. They were sitting down: Eri was having a small salad, Tsuyu was having a slice of pizza, and Momo was having a Wendy's T-Rex baconator.

Eri: Aren't you hot in that?

Eri said, looking at Tsuyu, who had a hoodie with a scarf and glasses.

Tsuyu: Shield's industry anti-hoodie Whenever it's hot, inside the hoodie will be cold, and when it's cold outside, inside the hoodie will be hot. Kero

Momo: Speaking of Melissa, do you think you can talk to her for me?

Tsuyu:about Kero?

Momo: She won't accept any of my business, and I would like to.

Tsuyu: She won't work with anyone who betrayed Zuku Kero

Momo:know why...

*The table was quiet as Momo was eating her second T-Rex baconator, and Eri's eyes shifted uncomfortably between the two women.*

Tsuyu:just being truthful Kero

Momo is bluntly truthful.

Eri:h..hey! What about going to karaoke?

*Eri said she was trying to change the subject. Both women noticed how uncomfortable Eri was feeling, and Tsuyu nodded.

Tsuyu, if that's what you want, we can do that, Kero.

Momo: Oh, there's one in this mall by the entrance; we can go as soon as I finish this.

Momo said she was eating her third T-Rex baconator as both Eri and Tsuyu looked at the woman incredulously, making her blush in embarrassment.

Momo: My quirk burns away a lot of calories!

Tsuyu:Uhu, isn't that Kyoka Jirou? Kero

Momo;what?

Momo turned around and saw Kyoka Jirou and frowned at who she was with.

Momo:excuse me

Momo got up and walked to them.

With momo

Momo: ejem

Kyoka jumped out of her skin and turned around, seeing Momo with her arms crossed.

Denki: Hey, Mochan, how are you?

Momo: Kaminari, please leave so I can talk to my friend alone.

Denki: Well, we were about to go to the movies, and...

Kyoka: Oh, go ahead of me and buy me some popcorn.

Denki: You got it, babe.

Denki kissed Kyoka on the lips and left. Kyoka took a shaky breath and looked at Momo.

Momo:babe?

Kyoka: I can explain.

Momo: babe!?

Kyoka: It looks like I know he has his faults, but it's... I don't know if it's familiar!

Momo: Oh yes, because God forbid you take a chance and try something new.

Kyoka scoffed and crossed her arms, glaring at Momo.

Kyoka: Oh, like, do you have any room to judge me? How many times have I asked you out on a date?

Momo, don't you try to change the subject for me; you know why I just don't have the time.

Kyoka: All I hear are excuses. Okay, yes, Denki is not the best person in the world, but at least he makes time for me!

Kyoka turned around and walked away; Momo scoffed and walked away too, both friends feeling pissed off.

Witg Izuku

Izuku and Masaru stopped the car and looked in front of them.

*Formally, sir Nighteye, now Mirio's togata agency*

Masaru, are you ready for this?

Izuku: As I'll ever be bucky, wait outside and make sure no media comes in.

With a nod, Masaru and Izuku walked out of the car and went inside. You could hear a pin drop as everyone in the agency stopped at what they were doing, seeing the missing Izuku Midoriya coming to do the light. Uncle and nephew ignored them and walked to the secretary's desk, who was looking between the two men.

Masaru: We would like an appointment to see Mirió Togata, if you would be so kind.

Masaru smiled at the woman, making her flinch, and, with a stumbling hand, gave them a form.

Fukui: You'll have to sign this and wait your turn.

Masaru: Of course, thank you.

Masaru started signing while Izuku sat down next to Ejiro Kirishima; both didn't look at each other.

Kirishima:midoribro

Izuku:Kirishima, how's your partner?

Kirishima: Still healing from the fight he got, his opponent went on him pretty badly.

Izuku: Hmm. Do you think she went hard on him on purpose? Revenge for the Sport Festival

Kirishima;what? That was over 10 years ago. What kind of person would still be so caught up in the past?

Zuku glanced at him with a raised eyebrow, making Kirishima cough awkwardly.

Kirishima:s...sorry

Izuku:hm.

Kirishima: how's...business

Izuku: Well, two of my workers are currently in the hospital, one for a month while the other will be fine in a couple of days. Don't ask me how he will be.

Kirishima: I'm guessing you're here because of the video.

Izuku: Why else would I grace the world with my beautiful face? You?

Kirishima: I'm going to ask that our agencies work together to stop this new villain, the one that's taking credit for... The Ingenium attack, he is gaining followers; it is better to stop them while the group is small; we don't need another overhaul case.

Izuku: I don't know; I wouldn't mind another child.

*Kirishima snorted, and they kept quiet thinking about it. Izuku and Tsuyu both agreed they wanted more children, yes, but they never discussed when.

Izuku:Maybe after the honeymoon, hm..."

Izuku let his mind drift into fantasy, and oh, what a beautiful fantasy it is. Don't get him wrong, he loves Eri; she will always be his daughter, not overhaul's, not Todoroki. No, Eri was a Midoriya in everything but blood. But raising a child from birth? With all the ups and downs of parenthood, how could anyone give that up?

Masaru: Son, are you okay?

Izuku: Is it our turn yet?

Masaru:no?

Izuku: Then let me be and just enjoy my wandering mind.

*Izuku said that any negative emotion he was feeling when he got there just vanished as his mind was overthinking things as usual, only this time it was over something beautiful.*

Fukui:Mr. Midoriya, Mr. Bakugo, and Mr. Togata will see you now.

*With a sigh, Izuku grabbed his cane and started walking behind Masaru. The door was opened, and they saw Mirió Togata talking on the phone.*

Mirió:hey neji, If you still haven't picked up the phone, please call me so we can talk about... all of this, I love you. Bye.

Izuku: Marriage on the rocks couldn't be me.

Masaru had to suppress a smile as they walked in and sat down.

Mirió: So sorry about that. I know it's completely unprofessional on my part, and

Mirió turned around in his chair and looked at them. His eyes went as wide as plates, seeing Izuku Midoriya there with only the desk separating him.

Mirió:m..Midoriya?! Oh, this is fantastic! You don't have any idea how happy I am to see you!! Hold on, hold on, let me just call Toshinori. I know he'll be thrilled!

Izuku: Sure, ask him to come. I would love for him to be here, wouldn't you, uncle?

Masaru: Oh yes, that way he would be going against the restraining order, and we'll be able to drag his ass to jail.

Izuku: Hm, what a beautiful dream that is.

Mirió froze and looked at the two individuals in front of him, his excitement slowly leaving his body.

Mirió: This isn't a social call, is it?

Izuku:social would imply that we have a friendly relationship, which we don't have, if you will.

Masaru took out his briefcase and took some papers out, putting them on his desk.

Masaru: You are being served with lawsuit papers over the fact that you illegally stalked a 14-year-old girl, filmed her without her knowledge, and used it for perverted purposes. You will be a child predator.

Mirió;what?! That's absurd!

Masaru: That's for the judge to decide. The trial shall be on April 14, the 14th good day.

Both got up and walked away, leaving Mirió in a state of shock, looking at the papers and then at the door.

Meanwhile, with the other two former members of the Big 3,

*We see Nejire and Penelope making a sand castle while Tamaki is swimming and enjoying the deep blue water.*

Nejire: Alright, Penelope. I think we're just about done!

Penelope: It's so pretty.

Nejire: Well, I do have a master's in sand castle engineering.

Nejire said with a smug tone. Penelope went to grab her orange slices and started eating them.

Nejire: So, does your papa see any woman?

Penelope:yeah? Papa sees women every day.

*Penelope asked, confused, as she ate another slice. Nejire looked down right, heartbroken.*

Nejire: He does, huh? Of course he does. Why would I think otherwise?

Penelope: Yeah, Papa is a hero; he saves lots of women, so he sees a lot of them.

Nejire:what....oh! No, no, Penelope, you misunderstood, like, um, does your dad talk about any woman he sees as special?

Penelope: Papa calls me her special miracle!

Penelope said with a bright smile that she was far too innocent to know the unsaid words that Nejire was asking.

Nejire: Yes, yes, you are, but, um, I mean more like women that are not related by blood?

Penelope: You mean Aunty and Grandma?

Nejire: No, no, I...no i ....

Tamaki:yes, nejire I'm single-stop confusing my little miracle.

Nejire gave a small yelp and turned around, blushing. Seeing Tamaki there with an amused expression, he kneeled down next to his daughter, kissing her forehead and giving her some money.

Tamaki: Penelope Why don't you go to the ice cream man and give us all some nice ice cream, ok?

Penelope;ok papa!

*Penelope left with a smile; once she was far enough, Tamaki looked at a more amused expression as she played with her fingers.*

Tamaki: So, you're only here for a couple of days, and you're already looking for a date?

Nejire: Well, we're both single...

Tamaki; I'm single, and you are technically still married.

Nejire: And I'm going to get divorced when I get back; believe me when I say I am single.

Tamaki: Okay, but are you still asking my daughter? Why not just ask me straight up?

Nejire, sorry, but... what would you say?

Tamaki: that a few dates wouldn't kill me, but I can't give you anything serious.

Nejire:why not? I told you I'm getting divorced.

Tamaki:yes. In Japan, where do you live and work?

Nejire:what does....oh....

Tamaki: There you go. Look, I'm not going to stand here and say I'm not attracted to you or that I still don't have feelings for you, because I do.

*Tamaki moved his head seeing his daughter get on his tiptoes to give the kind ice cream man the money. A smiled appeared on Tamaki's face, a kind of smile only a parent could produce seeing their child.*

Tamaki: But I have my daughter to think about; she comes first, and I just can't date you because if she gets attached, it will just break her heart all the more when you leave at the end of the month. So if I were you, I would ask if you really want a relationship with me, because if you do, you'll have to accept Penelope as part of the package because she's the most important thing to me, and I'm not going to move her away from her family and friends to go back to Japan. I'm sorry, but that place is no place to raise a mentally healthy child. Please try to understand.

*Tamaki got closer and gave Nejire a kiss on the cheek before walking away to be with his daughter. Nejire stayed there in a state of shock, chewing over Tamaki's words, and he was right. It was selfish to only think about what she wants when there's a little girl who is far more important. Nejire shook her head and smiled as Penelope came running with Nejire's ice cream and a smile on her face.
