A/N: If you love Overhaul, then go follow Egosketchy on their Twitter or Tumblr! Their art is amazing and I love when they draw Overhaul! The one I am using for this chapter is one they have drawn! Go check them out!

"Do you think she'll like it here?" I asked Overhaul.

"I think so," he said as he was getting changed in the bathroom.

"I just hope she likes it here with the two of us."

"Y/N," he poked his head out from behind the door. "I'm sure she will like it here because she knows us. She's comfortable with us. We're going to do our best to slowly introduce her with the outside world. I think once she has learned from us, she'll be ok."

I nodded my head and he moved his head back into the bathroom. I finished changing and laid down on the bed. He came out of the bathroom and put his clothes in the laundry basket.

"Are you sure you're ok with me sleeping next to you?"

"Yes," I said. "I told you that I am fine with it."

"I'm just making sure," he said.

"Wait, I didn't say goodnight to Eri."

I got up and opened the door. I walked over to the guest room and opened the door. She was asleep, but I walked over to the side of the bed and knelt down next to the one side.

"Goodnight, Eri," I said and got up. I walked out of the guest room and closed it. I walked back into my room and closed the door. Overhaul was already laying down on the bed. I turned off the light and crawled in next to him. 

I woke up the next morning to find Overhaul's arms were wrapped around my waist. I smiled and placed my hand on top of his. A few minutes had passed and he had woken up. He removed his arms and stretched. He looked over at me and I turned to face him.

"Good morning, Y/N," he said.

"Morning, Chisaki."

I got up and walked towards the guest room. The door was open. I walked in and saw the blankets were pushed to one side. I walked into the kitchen to see Eri was sitting at the table eating breakfast. She had a bowl of cereal.

"Good morning, Eri," I said.

She looked over at me and waved, "Good morning."

Overhaul walked out of the room and smiled at Eri, "Look who's up early."

She nodded her head, "I didn't want to bother you while you were sleeping."

"It's quite alright, Eri," I said.

"Are we doing anything today?" she asked.

"Nothing right now, but with since there is a lot of activity with villains, we might need to be called to action."

She nodded her head, "Do you think I can become a hero?"

We both nodded. "If a once villain can become a hero, anyone can be a hero," Overhaul said. 

She smiled, "I want to be a hero then!"

"Mr. Aizawa can be the one to teach you maybe down the road," I said.

"Yay! I like Mr. Aizawa!" Eri said.

Overhaul and I made breakfast and we sat down with Eri. We talked to her about what she likes and if she remembers anything about her mother and father. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember much about her mother and father. All she remembers from her father was that she used her quirk where he rewinded him to the point where he didn't exist. Her mother was out of the picture since then. We both looked at each other as Eri told us about her mother and father. 

"Eri, I know we're no where near being parents to you, but if you see us that way, we're ok if you accidentally call us mom and dad," I said.

She nodded her head, "Ok."

Overhaul's phone went off and he abruptly stood up. He grabbed his phone and went into the other room. Eri and I both watched as he walked away.

"Where is he going?" Eri asked.

"He must have gotten a call about hero work," I said. 

He walked back in a few minutes later. He was dressed in his normal black dress shirt, black pants, white shoes, off white tie, his jacket, his gloves, and he had his mask in his hands. He walked over to me and kissed the top of my head.

"They called me to deal with this group of villains. They said to show no mercy since they're after me."

"Why would they call you in if they're after you?"

"So I can get the job done quickly before any other pro can."

I grabbed his hand before he left, "Be safe."

He nodded his head. He said goodbye to Eri quickly and rushed out of the apartment room. He closed the door and I was left with Eri. She helped me clean everything up from breakfast. We both got changed and headed out of the apartment. She wanted to see more of Hosu and interact with other people. I told her we had to be careful since the villains were out and about. I held onto her hand as I showed her around. 

"Y/N, what about your mom and dad?"

"What about them?" I asked.

"What were they like?"

I stopped for a second before looking down at her. I gave her a small smile, "You would of loved my father. He was a caring man who always helped me with training me to become a hero. I can't say the same with my mom."

"Why's that?"

"She was working with the League of Villains to give Overhaul to them. She turned out to be a villain in the end."

"Where is she now?"

"Behind bars. She's not going to harm us."

She nodded her head and looked at the ground, "Do you wish she wasn't bad?"

I didn't know what to say. During the time my mother neglected me, I would always wish she would be a better mother. I looked down at Eri and gave her a sad smile.

"No, I don't. I like to see it as she didn't want me to become a hero. Yet there I was, being the one to put my mother behind bars because I was a hero. If I wasn't, who would figure out what she was doing. If I didn't become a hero, a lot of things that have happened would not have."
