Life After Death

Chapter 39

“Alright everyone, listen up. I don’t wanna hurt you and you all want to get through this alive. So just put all your valuables in the bags my men are bringing around.” As this was said, five men came in with guns and sacks. Izuku, Ochako, and Nejire pulled the Midoriyas down below the table before starting a plan. “They probably don’t know that there’s three students of UA with licenses here yet. We can use that to our advantage.” “I’ll start drawing their attention with some energy blasts to move things while Ochako takes down some thugs with those martial arts moves you know.” “Meanwhile, I’ll drain the life out of these guys through the ground so they’ll be easier to take down for you before taking on the boss.” The three agreed with Hisashi and Inko watching their son in action up close and personal.

As Nejire began making some tables move with some small energy blasts, Izuku began his magic on a thug in the corner before Ochako knocked him out. The next was a guy somewhat closer with Nejire keeping everyone’s eyes on the opposite side of the room. The same thing happened with this continuing until the boss was the only one left becoming quite angered at something he had no idea was going on. “WHO IS DOING THAT!?”

He started shooting his gun at where the table moved to make the customers and employees of the diner panic a bit. Izuku blasted the gun with a siphoning beam for it to turn to dust in the robbers hand while Nejire and Ochako came to deliver a swift kick to the face of the guy. They took him down before giving each other a high five in content. Unfortunately, the man wasn’t down for long with some form of shock absorbing quirk to pull a knife while both their backs were turned. He charged at them with Izuku coming behind to knock the thug off his feet and slam his head into the floor making a notable crack in the hard flooring. “Are you both ok?” “Yeah, thanks.” “Good thing you had our backs.” The three smiled as the police came in not long after thanks to one of the workers calling them. The trio explained the situation while also showing their licenses proving that they weren’t breaking laws before being free to go with the Midoriyas.

“That was incredible you three. Those guys didn’t have a chance against you.” “It was nothing sir. That was easy compared to what I face while on my internship with Ryukyu.” “You mean the dragon hero? I remember when she was first debuting as a student in UA. Now she’s one of the best heroes in this country. Amazing.” Hisashi smiled before thinking of what he said. “I still can’t believe what happened to me.” “It wasn’t your fault dad. If you knew what was happening, you wouldn’t have let it happen.” “Still doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get a little repercussion from what happened. I almost killed All Might. I almost killed you Izuku.” Izuku began patting his father's back with a smile. “If you were half the bloodthirsty monster that possessed you, you would not want to redeem yourself for this. That’s what makes you different.” Hisashi started to cry before hugging his son with smoke coming out of his mouth. “WHEN DID YOU GROW UP TO BECOME SUCH A KIND MAN IZUKU!? YOUR OLD MAN IS SO PROUD OF YOU!” Izuku kept a tight hold on his father as they enjoyed a father son moment but it was sadly cut short by teams of reporters who wanted the scoop on what happened in the diner 

"Excuse us but can you please tell us what exactly happened here?" The moment Izuku broke the hug with his father he looked at the person who questioned him and the reporter Instantly recognized him "oh my god you're Catalyst the next big hero people have been talking about."

Izuku blushed in embarrassment "Yeah I'm Catalyst but I'm nobody special. I’m just some guy that wanted to help." The reporters immediately started questioning him, his girlfriends, and his parents with question after question. “Who are you two to Catalyst?” “Aren’t you that student that works with the dragon hero?” “How does it feel knowing your son is the possible next symbol of peace?” “Weren’t you in the Kamino incident a few weeks prior?” The comment about the Kamino incident struck Hisashi where it hurts knowing he nearly killed his own son from what he’s seen of the fight to die a little inside. “Sorry to cut this short, but we don’t have a lot of time before we have to get back to UA. Bye!” Izuku ran with everyone as the reporters began charging for their scoop. They were able to duck into an alley however to avoid them before letting out a deep sigh.
