*Nejire was surprised to see the UA unofficial most wanted sitting in the office.*

Nejire: Mi, Midoriya, this is quite the surprise, and who's your friend?

Izuku:hm. Well, seeing as I'll need you for my case, it's not really that surprising, and don't worry, he's just my protection; he's harmless unless you give him a reason not to be.

Nejire: your case? What are you talking about?

Masaru: That will be explained if you sit down, please. Can I get you anything? Tea, coffee? Maybe a muffin?

Nejire: A banana muffin and some water, please.

*Nejire said as she sat down, almost instantly a water bottle and a banana muffin appeared on the table, almost as if it were glitched there.*

Masaru: marvelous, there you go. Now let's get into the nitty-gritty, and then you can show us all your vacation photos. If you want, I'm sure you must have hundreds of photos of Penelope.

*Nejire looked at Masaru shocked; Masaru, on the other hand, just kept smiling like nothing happened.*

Nejire: How did you...

Masaru: I'm not one of the top 5 lawyers in the country for no reason; I know everything about my clients; there's a reason why I've never lost a case; now shall we get started?

Nejire: Yes, I want to divorce my husband, Mirio Togata, since he completely betrayed my trust, and honestly, I...

Nejire hugged herself; her feelings for Tamaki aside, there was still a part of her that loved Mirio, or at least the man he used to be.

Nejire:I just don't feel safe with him anymore; he's become obsessed with making things right with Izuku Midoriya next to me, to the point...

Izuku: To the point where he tried to use my daughter as a way to get to me. I don't understand why he would, all because of a quirk that would make my limbs explode if I used it now.

*Izuku said darkly. They all heard Zuku's cane crack with how hard he was holding it, but they ignored it.*

Masaru:yes. I understand your fear; you have nothing to worry about with all the evidence we've got, like, for example, when he went on live television showing proof that he's been stalking a 14-year-old girl. I can promise you that you will end up getting everything in the divorce, even his hero agency; it will all be yours.

Nejire: ok. And how does Midoriya fit into all of this?

Izuku: Well, truth be told, I don't. It's the opposite; your divorce fits into my lawsuit with Mirio and UA to destroy them both.

Nejire had to do a double take, looking at Izuku as if he had lost his mind.

Nejire: And what makes you think I would let you use me like that?!

Izuku: I don't, you see, unlike the hero association or nezu, I won't lie to you, nor will I manipulate you to do what I ask you to do. No, I'll be completely honest with you. I don't care about you, not even a little. I don't care about your life or what's happening with you and Tamaki. What I do care for is Eri, and Mirio harmed her by using you to harm her, giving her trust issues, and making her cutting habit so much worse. You owe her at least this much, or maybe you just like the rest. What was it that my father called them? Ah, yes, fake heroes.

*Izuku said coldly. *Nejire sighed and thought about it for a minute.

Nejire:fine... I'll... I'll be part of your plan to take out Mirio, but why UA? What do you have against them?

Izuku:mostly about how they did absolutely nothing to the bullying of my daughter; they just turned a blind eye, and when objections were told, Nezu would ignore them.

Nejire: And the small reason?

Izuku: I'm petty; they didn't fall when I sued them, but now? Well, you know what they say: If you're going to hit the king, you better kill the king, and I'm going to kill the king once and for all.

Nejire: And what about the children? The few that did nothing wrong? They'll be without a hero, but school does

Izuku: Bitch, don't even think they're a second-hero school just 1 hour north of UA; they'll be fine.

Nejire's eyes twitched, but she just looked at Masaru, who was drinking his Irish coffee.

Nejire: When does the trial start?

Masaru: yours one week from now, I've been doing everything that's needed while you were on vacation. All you have to do is sit there and let me do all the talking.

After that, Nejire signed some papers and left for her apartment. Masaru glanced at Izuku, who had a calm expression on his face.

Masaru, is there any reason you decided to stick around?

Izuku: Just a curiosity, if you don't mind me getting personal?

Masaru: Izuku, your nephew, your family, ask away.

Izuku: Are you ever going to forgive him?

Masaru's mood completely changed as he spined his chair to look out at the window.

Masaru:no. Katsuki has to live with the consequences of his actions.

Izuku: Pretty sure I'm the only one living with them, seeing as I have the scars and I've forgiven. Well, stop caring about what he did.

Masaru: And that's good for you; that's wonderful for you, but it's not just about what he did, nor about who he did it. If it were just that, I would've probably forgiven him since family fights can get out of hand a lot of times. You know more than me about Tsuyu's family.

Izuku: True, but if it is not just what he did to me, then what is it?

Masaru: What hurt me and his mother to the core was the tales he told us. He always talked about what a good person he was, how he would help you and the other "deku's" of that middle school, and how he would fight for equality for all. That's why we always thought he would make a great pro-hero one day.

Masaru's hands started to bawl in his fist as he closed his eyes. Anger was slowly rising inside of him.

Masaru: But when the ugly truce came running from his very own mouth? Me and Mitsuki were horrified since we didn't raise him like that! We raised him to protect the defenseless, but somewhere along the way he twisted it into seeing everyone else like a pebble in his way, as he called it. And when did me and Mitsuki go to confront him? He said he did nothing wrong, that he was grateful he did the things he did.

Masaru took a few calming breaths before turning his chair back to Izuku and giving him a small smile that didn't reach his eye.

Masaru: I'm glad he finally got the wake-up call he needed to see that he was in the wrong in so many ways, but... it's just too late for us to forgive him even if we want to, and believe me, there are a lot of days where we do. Whenever we see him, all we can see is all of his villainous actions. I just don't see a day where we can forgive him and welcome him back with open arms.

Masaru got up and went to Izuku, placing his hand on Izuku's head.

Masaru: Actions have consequences, son. And these are Katsuki's consequences; he must live with them as well as me and Mitsuki. It may be prideful, but what is a man without pride?

Izuku is a happy man, uncle Masaru. Since a man with pride can get too blinded to see the damage he's causing, your son is proof of that. Kinda funny though, I always thought Ka-chan got his pride from Aunty Mitsuki giving well.

Masaru: Is this coming from the boy who used to cry at a drop of a hat?

*Both adults chuckled as Izuku took that as his cue to leave; it left Masaru alone in his office. He sat back down and took a picture frame out of his desk; it was a picture of him, Mitsuki, and Bakugo before he got his quirk, before things got so damn complicated.*

Back down

Izuku made it out of the office and looked around.

Izuku: Where's Tsuyu? I thought she was going to pick me up for a date.

Zuku said, muttering to himself as his phone rang. He grabbed it and picked it up.

Izuku: Hey, love, where are you?

Tsuyu:izuku I have to confess something, do you, Kero?

Izuku:ok?

Tsuyu, you see, oh, how do I say this? I had a dream long ago—a dream to be human and have a job. Kero

Izuku:...what?

*Izuku saw Tsuyu coming towards him, riding a unicycle, doing a T-pose.*

Tsuyu:ribbit, ribbit, mother fucker I'm a god-damned frog! U shit waddup Kero

*Izuku looked at Tsuyu balancing herself on the unicycle. What Tsuyu did was so stupid that Izuku couldn't help but start laughing.*

Tsuyu: How was the meeting, Kero?

Izuku: No, absolutely not. I'm not talking. Do you do that thing?

*Izuku said, trying to stop himself from laughing and failing as giggles escaped his mouth. Tsuyu grinned since this was her plan. She got off and grabbed his hand.

Tsuyu: Fine, but now you can't stay in a bad mood after the meeting.

Izuku:It was certainly stressful, so thank you.

Zuku kissed her forehead with a soft smile, looking at the woman he's going to marry soon, feeling nothing but happiness.

Tsuyu: Then come on, I need your help carrying all my bags.

Izuku;yes love

*Izuku said he failed to see Tsuyu's smirk since he was so out of it he didn't even know what he agreed to.*
