"-which means you're good to go."

"Thank you for taking care of me Kusuri" Izuku thanked the nurse.

"It's no problem Midoriya, really. You were an angel to take care of anyway."

"Anything we have to keep in mind?" his father asked.

"Actually, yes. No working out for at least 3 more days, alright? And dont eat anything that's too hard on the stomach...that should be it. Have a nice day you two." The nurse walked back outside, leaving Izuku alone with his father again.

"I got you some clothes. Change while I pack all our belongings." his father ordered.

"Yes sir" Izuku answered while standing up, getting the clothes from his father and heading to the bathroom.

"Where do you think youre going?"

Izuku turned around. "The bathroom?"

"No. You'll change here, put on a show for me while I pack."

"Of course, Sir"

These next years are going to be harsh.

"I-I know y-youre probably going t-to say no but-" ,Izuku breathed out, "C-an,no, am I allowed to visit Auntie Mitsuki, just to say g-goodbye. Please dad, only for a m-minute."

They were sitting inside a cab,driving to a hotel where they were going to stay for the night until flying back to America in the morning.

"Izuku we have to go to the hotel, you know that" his father said trough gritted teeth.

"Dad please- I-I want to see h-her one more time" Izuku begged his father.

"Izuku I said no, drop it, now."

"Dad-"

His father leaned in to whisper: "Do not make me punish you at the hotel Izuku"

Izuku whispered back: "She'll know something is up if I don't come over"

His father looked at him with hatred in his eyes, looking like he was debating what to do.

"Where does she live?"

Izuku's eyes shimmered. "It's not far from my old apartment. We can walk there if the driver takes a right in 3 minutes"

"Change our route. Take a right in 3 minutes and let us out there" his father ordered the taxi driver.

"Of course sir"

"Thanks dad"

"Don't think for even one second that I'm doing this for you."

"Of course"

Izuku softly smiled to himself. He was sure that his Auntie will notice that something is wrong and make sure that Izuku stays in Japan.

"-so it's great that you're going to America, don't you think so too Izuku?" Mitsuki asked.

"Yeah I'm really excited to go to America with my dad" Izuku answered, putting a bit too much venom in the last word.

This wasn't how this was supposed to go. She was supposed to talk his dad out of flying back to America with him. He didn't want to go. He couldn't go. He wouldn't make it out of America alive.

"I always wanted to go to America when it's not for business you know...you two are so lucky to be able to live there" Mitsuki fan-girled.

His father humbly laughed.
