Deku, The Next Wielder of The Omnitrix! (Book 1)

Chapter 184: The End...?

Inko takes a long sip of her tea before sighing deeply.  Eri sits next to Izuku nervously, clutching onto his shirt as the rest stand behind him.

"Okay...  Okay...  I'm calm now...  I'm calm...  Everything is..."  Inko said in between breaths.  "Ochako-Chan, I'm sorry for making such assumptions."

"I-It's okay...  I understand, something like this must've been a big shock, huh...?"  Ochako said nervously.

"I-It's just, you know how kids are!  You're both so young and vigorous and you obviously are; in love!  And with love, you're naturally curious about your changing bodies and  want to explore your sexuality and might take it a step too far then next thing you know you're going at it like rabbits in- "  Inko said frantically.

"Uh, Mama Inko?"  Ren said to Inko as he nudged his head towards Eri.  "There are children here...!"

"Here, have some more tea to calm you down..."  Evelyn said as she pours Inko another cup of tea using her magic.

Inko drinks her tea once more, taking another deep breath as she calms down.

"Right...  Right, okay...  Nerves...  Are calm now..."  Inko said as she took another deep breath.

"So...  That's basically how the situation looks like right now.  Eri-chan needs a place to stay, somewhere safe; but relatively close by.  With a caretaker to watch over her every hour of the day..."  Izuku said to Inko.  "Somewhere stress-free, somewhere she can heal at her own pace..."

"But somewhere close-by too so that we can respond quickly in case anything happens with her."  Ren added.  "As it stands, none of us are really in a situation where we can take care of a child around the clock and watch over her."

"Aizawa-Sensei is too busy with both his teaching duties and his vice-captain duties with the Rooters...  Magisters of the Plumbers are often called away a lot on missions and can be absent for long periods of times..."  Evelyn said to Inko.  "That's how it was with me and Devlin's parents."

"I've got a whole bunch of enemies who have a bone to pick with me that could come at anytime.  Almost all of them willing to do anything to get back at me."  Ren added.

"And you're both too young to be taking care of a child together."  Inko said to Izuku and Ochako.  "Honestly...  You gave me a heart attack...  I thought I was a grandmother already and you two were suddenly teenage parents...  I was already thinking about buying so many birthday gifts for her..."

"How much time did she think had passed...?"  Izuku thought.

"We figured with the insane amounts of defenses Devlin installed into your apartment and your experience in raising children; you could help us out with this."  Ren added.

"We were hoping that with a maternal figure like yourself around, she would feel more comfortable and relaxed.  That and she would be able to learn how to trust other people again and not be fearful of new people."  Evelyn replied.  "The doctor's said that her quirk was linked to her emotions and that any sudden panic attacks could potentially..."

"That's why we wanted to ask your help for this one.  This place is probably one of, if not THE safest places on Earth. We figured if there was a place that was close by to U.A. that was perfect for helping out with an emotionally and mentally recovering child; it'd be here."  Ren explained.

"A hop and a skip away, me and Sensei would be able to respond quickly without needing to find a teleporter to the Plumber's HQ." Izuku added.

"And not only that, but the energy in this house is relaxing too!  It's got such a nice and warm atmosphere from the moment you step in!  Like all of the stress you built up over the day just completely melted away!"  Ochako added excitedly.
