Mahoraga Deku (Nah he'd adapt)

Chapter 9: Ready

Waking up, Eri found a lack of a presence by her, like something was missing. Sitting up she found out why, Izuku was nowhere to be seen. She got up and out of the bed quite distressed at the lack of his presence. "Izuzu?" said the child timidly. The next thing Eri knew, she was hearing footsteps. The sudden addition of steps had her nerves on end and feet ready to move but then the unmistakably reassuring voice of Izuku came up.

"Eri? Oh you're awake. Good morning Eri." The voice soon became a face peeking from the open door.

Eri quickly went over to him. "Good morning Izuzu."

Izuku then quickly got down to her level on one knee so he could receive what he was expecting. Eri soon gave him the good morning hug he expected but something was off. There was a slight urgency in the hug and Eri kept it slightly longer. "Are you okay Eri?"

"... No, I thought you were gone again." said Eri timidly.

Izuku heard Eri's words and could understand. After what happened to him in the rescue, Eri was probably bound to cling a bit more. "Hey Eri, I'll be fine. I was just looking at the Sunrise."

"The Sunrise?" Eri's timidity soon got evicted as the curiosity moved in. While she knew about the sun form her few walks that Chisaki took her on she never actually saw the sunrise.

Izuku smiled. He lifted Eri up and went out of the room and into the corridor. It was toned orange by the light coming through. Eri looked at the source, it was the Sun but it was low and orange. Her eyes panned to observe the sky, how it shifted colour and how the clouds stood out in the orange sky. "Woooww." Said Eri. She was amazed with the imagery before her.

Izuku chuckled at her response. "I said the same thing when I got up. I hadn't seen it in a while."

After enjoying the sunrise for a few long moments, both went back into the room. Time went by and at 11 AM, their door opened. Entering the room was someone with long, unkept black hair in a black costume with a belt and yellow goggles dangling on their neck along with a weird scarf that looked like a tangled mess of wrapping. The person spoke with a gruff, tired and serious voice. "Good morning. Midoriya and Eri correct?"

Izuku answered nervously. "uh, yes. I am Midoriya and this is Eri. Do you need anything sir?"

The man was about to say something after a second but was interrupted by a white 3 foot long mouse, or what looked like one, popping up from behind the person, it spoke with a light and positive voice. "Well I apologize that it has to be like this but we'll need quite a bit." It wore a small suit, black pants and shoes with a white button up and black pullover. The speaking creature had black, beady eyes with a small scar line by the one eye. "If you are wondering." The mouse walked forwards. "I am Nezu, principal of UA and this is one of the teachers, Eraserhead."

"Oh... umm nice to meet you? Okay but wait what are you going to need form us now." Izuku spoke with concern.

"Now now, no need to rush anything. After all what we need is going to be discussed over our little unplanned meeting." said Nezu.

"Oh, oh... okay then?" Said Izuku. His face then went serious as he spoke again. "But before we even start, is Eri going to be fine in all of this?"

"Oh, quite protective I see. Well don't worry, what we need from you both will be for your benefit in anyways." Said Nezu reassuringly.

Izuku calmed a bit at the response and Eri relaxed from behind Izuku. "Okay, if you say so."

Nezu then lifted his arms in the air as he spoke cheerily "Now let's have some tea while we discuss." Nezu then got a cup of tea, from presumably thin air as he then found a seat to place himself on. Aizawa sat and then Eri and Izuku sat on the bed facing the other two, who had also been handed tea from the kind 3 foot mouse, bear, I don't even know really.
