Healer Vigilante/barista (Vigilante Izuku)- Discontinued-

Wait... Mommy??? | Chapter 35

"Speaking" 'Thinking'

Izumi was making her way home with Eri resting in her arms. She had left Aizawa and Mic at the school and told Mic that she'd keep an eye out for his little stalker of a vigilante. In truth Izumi really wanted to meet her, that and it would be nice if the vigilante was young enough to be friends with little Eri.

She looked around her surroundings, it was fairly dark out, her quirk helped her in terms of sight a little, so things weren't especially dark to her, but it still remained difficult. She made sure to keep distance from certain alley ways, not wanting to yet expose Eri to the true world more than she already knows of it.

Izumi walked along the side walk looking up at the sky. The moon reminded her of her night with Shigaraki. Within a second her mind grew confuddled. She would need to tell him that she was going to be a part timer at the school.

Can't have him getting into trouble while she and Eri are there.

A couple of minutes of walking and Izumi started feeling anxious, things felt too quiet. It was like something was deliberately keeping the nights usual antics away from them. If that was the case, that would mean that someone's been following them this entire time.

Izumi stopped and looked around. The place was familiar, it was a route that she would always take to ditch the hobo and Endeavor every time he'd come a little too close. Thinking that she might as well take a better look at her surroundings she hopped up onto a roof top and started looking around.

The alleys were too peaceful, it felt wrong for some reason. Maybe because her name is the alley way fox. She's supposed to be the one protecting the back side of the hero society, of course she knew that she was going to have to give in and let other vigilante's take over every once in a while, but it still manages to piss her off every time she realizes it.

As she was looking around she heard a very faint scratch of brick coming from behind her. She figured that something was going to happen, especially now that she stole Eri from the Yakuza. 

-

Izumi stayed still, trying to act as though she heard nothing. It was obvious now, between the very small sounds of footsteps and the slight pant coming from behind her. Someone had been following her.

Before the person could get too close, Izumi turned her head only slightly. She could barely see, but she knew that the person that had been creeping up on her was startled. In truth it was rather hard not to be startled by Izumi's nightly appearance. Every time it turned night, her eyes would slightly glow a shade of bright vermillion green. 

The stalker slowly took a step back until they stopped entirely. Izumi couldn't make out their face, but she assumed that they looked scared.

"M.... Mommy!" The person shouted. Izumi was surprised at the sudden shout, but even more so at the words that came out from the person's mouth. 

"Wh- what!" Izumi shouted. Eri started to stir in her sleep, then woke up entirely. It was still dark so she couldn't see, but she could feel her mother's heart speeding up.

"Momma? What's wrong...?" Eri asked since she couldn't see what was happening around her.

"Mommy!" Eri heard a shout and tried to look over Izumi's shoulder at the person who had spoke it.

"Who are you?" Eri asked as she looked towards the silhouette of a smaller looking girl.

"My name's Little Foxy, I also go by Xiao Jiu." The little girl spoke. 

The little girl spoke more calmly than she had a moment ago and looked back up towards Izumi and pointed. "You..., You're my mommy!" She slightly shouted. 

Izumi couldn't come up with any words at this point, how exactly were you supposed to respond to a child accusing you of being her mother...
