chapter 20

Flashback

*We see Eri waiting patiently; Izuku was running a little late, but she wasn't worried. No, Izuku is her hero; nothing can bring him down. Eri smiled brightly when she heard the window opening. She looked, and there was Izuku climbing inside, holding something under his arm, making Eri look confused.

Eri:what's that?

Izuku:oh this? It's a music player.

Eri:mu...sic?

*Izuku had to force himself to keep the smile up, just another thing Eri never got to experience from that father.*

Izuku:No, he doesn't get to have anyone call him a father, that disgusting monster."

Izuku: What I told you about last night, I just had to show it to you, so I decided to bring music to you and teach you to dance.

Eri:what's dancing?

Izuku: dancing. Is letting your body be controlled by the beauty of the song? Come on, up, up.

Eri got up as Izuku placed the song and hit play. He walked to Eri, smiling as the music started playing.

Izuku: Ok, hop on my feet and grab hold of my hands.

Eri did as she was told and started as Izuku started to dance.

Present

Eri was not nervous, of course not. She was terrified. Today was the dance. We saw her in the backseat while Momo drove to the location she and Izuku agreed on.

Momo; baby, it's going to be fine. Just trust in your father.

Eri: I do trust him!

Momo: You're nails would beg to differ; you bite them anymore, and you'll start bleeding.

*Eri hid her hands under her thighs as she sighed and looked at the window."

Momo; I'm scared too, but you just have to have hope, and if anyone can claim a victory in the claws of defeat, it's your father, so please just take some deep breaths.

Eri took some breath and just looked out the window until the drive was over.

Scene change

Eri and Momo parked their cars and got out, seeing Izuku talking to Eri and Melissa. Momo walked up to them, smiling.

Momo: Hello Melissa It's been quite a while.

Melissa: yapyorozu, It's good to see you.

Momo: No need to lie, I know I'm not your favorite person in the world.

Melissa, good so! We ready?

Tsuyu, yup, Eri's friends are already informed about what we're doing.

Eri: then maybe you can inform me?

Izuku: Of course, but first I got you a little present.

*Izuku walked up to Eri and placed a necklace around her neck with an excited smile. Eri noticed Izuku had a matching necklace.*

Melissa, may I present you the reason Mi and her company will never touch my company?

Tsuyu,Just fuck already, Kero."

Melissa: Izuku, if you would be so kind as twisting the circular totem on the necklace.

*Izuku did as he was told, and Eri saw him transform; he literally transformed into a completely different person.*

(Moment of silence for one of the best fathers.)

Izuku: See it's works!

Melissa, of course you would expect anything else?!
