Life After Death

Chapter 53

The moment Katsuki, Camie and all the juvenile delinquents escaped from jail they began to follow Katsuki as he was the one who was leading them to the new safehouse. Once there, the group took note of the building's image to see it was similar to an orphanage that looked rundown. “This place is a dump.” “And I thought the prison was bad.” Everyone began making comments of their own while Katsuki opened the doors. “Better than nothing. Besides, we can’t go anywhere the public normally sees us. We do and we’ll be shipped off to Tartarus.” They all walked in to see the inside was nothing to behold. Some broken floorboards, dust everywhere, but strangely a filled food pantry along with a working stove and microwave. “Sweet, TV works!” One of the juveniles turned the TV onto search through some channels to see what’s on.

Meanwhile, Katsuki and Camie checked upstairs to see the beds weren’t in the greatest shape, but still capable of being used. “What’s the next move?” “We gotta get more people. If we wanna get revenge on Deku, we’ll need an army ready to take down him and the lameasses he hangs around.” “We’ll still toats get payback on those skanks of his, right?” Katsuki smirked while answering. “You think I’m just gonna let them walk away? They’ll get what’s coming to them soon enough.” Camie smiled as they began searching for any blankets and seeing if they could find any cash where the head of the orphanage is.

With Izuku
Izuku was having some quality  time with his daughter with Ochako and Nejire opting to go out and buy her a set of clothes. As this happened, Izuku set up Eri’s bed with a pink and purple bed sheet set that she seemed to like a lot. “Alright, that should do it. What do you think of your new bed Eri?” The small girl looked at the bed and around Izuku’s room. “I’m sharing a room with you and mommies?” “Uh, kinda. Nejire and Ochako have their own rooms, but they come and sleep in mine when school doesn’t happen. They’ll also come to say goodnight and goodmorning to you when you go to sleep and wake up. Is that ok?” Eri nodded before getting a pat on her head. “Now why don’t we meet the people we live with and explain that you’re going to live with us from now on?” “Ok.” Eri took Izuku’s hand to walk out of the dorms to meet Ochako and Nejire with a few large bags of clothes.

“Guess your mommies finished shopping for you.” “For me?” Eri didn’t understand this as Ochako knelt down to show her some of the dresses she found. “Aren’t these cute Eri? I think you’d look adorable in them.” Eri glanced into the colorful bag to see the dresses and clothes the brunette got for her. Her face showed an awestruck emotion seeing what she could wear. “So I can wear these and not just what I have on right now?” “Yes sweetie. It’s healthier and more hygienic for you to wear something clean every day. Wearing the same thing more than a day straight isn’t good and makes you smell bad.” The small girl seemed to understand Nejire’s logic before piecing some things together in her head. “So is that why you both wear daddy’s shirts when you sleep?” “....Yeah, let’s go with that.” “Easiest way to explain it, snowball.” Both girls laughed awkwardly while Izuku picked Eri up to hold on his hip. “We’ll be downstairs introducing Eri to everyone and making a little lunch. Do you two want anything special?” Both shook no before giving Izuku a peck on the lips and a smile. “My dorm room’s unlocked so you shouldn’t have an issue placing the stuff inside. If you want to wait, I can help and you can just place the bags on my bed for later.” “We got it. Go show Eri to everyone Izuku.” Ochako said this as her and Nejire opened Izuku’s door to walk inside.

As Izuku and Eri came down to the common space, Tsu and Yaoyorozu were sitting and talking on the couches to notice the two walking in."Hello Midoriya and Eri" Said Yaoyorozu as she greeted the father and daughter Eri was being shy since she buried her face into Izuku's chest. It’s ok sweetie. They’re nice people.” Eri glanced out with one eye to see both girls smile at her. “Hello again Eri *ribbit*.” “H-hello.” The small girl sheepishly said this as Yaoyorozu got the attention of them both. “So is Mr. Aizawa or someone from UA taking care of her?” “Actually, me, Ochako, and Nejire are.” “What!?” Both somewhat shouted this amazed at the answer. “To make a long story short, we decided to take care of Eri as a way to help her avoid needing to be taken into child services. With everything she’s gone through, that would probably be counter productive for her.” “A fair point. So she will be sleeping in your room?” Izuku nodded at the creation user before glancing around.

“Where’s everyone else?” Tsu held her finger to her chin while answering. “Jirou brought Kirishima, Kaminari, and Ashido with her to pick up new instruments to replace the ones Bakugou broke, Toga is doing some remedial lessons for a provisional, Iida is spending the day training with his brother, and everyone else is kinda doing their own thing.” “That might be for the better. Eri doesn’t have all 18 people crowding her all at once. Anyway, let’s go get you something for lunch.” Izuku brought Eri into the kitchen to see what they had. They decided on some chicken nuggets and some mac and cheese as something kid friendly for the snowball. Once it was all finished, the door was opened to show four students walk in carrying a bunch of musical equipment.

“You can put them right there for now.” The four placed them down near the stairwell before sighing in relief. “I knew you had a lot of stuff destroyed, but couldn’t you wait instead of getting everything at one go?” Kaminari was complaining while Eri walked over to see some of the instruments. “Oooh.” “Oh, hey Eri. What are you doing here?” Izuku glanced out of the kitchen to see Eri looking at the instruments. “Be careful around those sweetie, our classmates worked hard to help replace Jirou’s things from the Culture Festival.” Ochako and Nejire came down to see their classmates around Eri. “So I’m guessing she’s here for a visit?” Jirou asked as the small girl went to her mothers. “Actually, she’ll be living here in Izuku’s room.” “Long story short, Eri was adopted by Izuku, Ochako, and myself. So please treat her kindly.” There was a silence before Ashido screamed in excitement. “AHH! YOU FOUR ARE LIKE A LITTLE FAMILY! ADORABLE!”

Izuku walked out of the kitchen with a few plates of food in his hands for the four holding lunch. “Alright Eri, time to eat.” He placed the plates down on the table before walking over to give Ochako and Nejire a kiss. “All set up upstairs?” “Yup. Eri is officially set up.” “With a few toys as well. That reminds me.” Nejire kneeled down with a small plushy of Izuku in her hands for Eri. It was one of Izuku in his hero costume. “I figured you’d like this. What do you think?” Eri looked at the plushy before grabbing it to hug. Everyone was happy to see the little child holding so much love for her new father before the sound of the TV caught their attention. “Breaking news. As of 9:30 A.M. today, a few dozen juveniles from Kamino Junior correctional facility had escaped.” “Wait, wasn’t that the juvy that Bakugou was sent to?” Kaminari asked this for a lump to be in Izuku’s throat. “What you will see now is the detailed video of the breakout. As you can see, a lone male walked up to obliterate the wall keeping the other prisoners inside.”

The video showed Bakugou blasting the wall away with a quirk that was without a doubt not Explosion, making Izuku go pale. “The whereabouts of these escapes are unknown as of right now. If you see any of these faces, do not intercept under any circumstances. Inform the police or a nearby hero immediately.” ‘What was that just now? Did Kaachan have some kind of new power or something?’ The more Izuku thought about this, the more afraid he was knowing that his own childhood friend became one of Japan’s most wanted right now. “We’re screwed.” Ochako and Nejire hit Kaminari over the head for cursing, but not exactly disagreeing with his logic.
