Driven to be the number one hero

Chapter 47

When Izuku got Eri home he felt the anger boil in his gut those criminals tried to take Eri from him. They even pulled a gun on Ochaco and fired while Eri was standing in front of her. Had he been a second slower one if not both of them would have been shot. Izuku noticed a tugging on his arm and looked down Eri was looking up at him with her big eyes and asked are you ok daddy. Those words hit Izuku like a truck Izuku picked Eri up and hugged her and said no I'm not ok. I was scared that they were going to hurt you. Eri's response surprised Izuku. She looked him in his eyes and said she wasn't afraid because she knew that he would protect her. she reached out and touched Izuku's cheek and he leaned his head into her tiny hand

All Might got home to find Izuku sitting on the couch with his head lowered. All Might sat next to his son and Izuku leaned into him All Might felt his son's body shudder. All Might pulled Izuku in a powerful hug. Izuku asked in a small voice is this how you felt every time i went out alone scared that i would be taken. Yes All Might said without hesitation. This is why i trained you so that when you went out i knew you were strong enough to defend yourself until i could get to you. Izuku looked up at his father and gave him a weak smile and thanked him. Izuku got up and went to check on Eri All Might looked at his son walk to Eri's room a part of him felt his pain part of him angry that Izuku had to learn this lessen so young.

 Eri woke up slightly confused she didn't remember going to her fathers room. She looked at Izuku and asked daddy why are you in my room. Izuku smiled and said i had a bad dream Eri didn't know why but this answer made her laugh. Izuku got up and began his morning training routine then he got ready for school. Eri liked helping with making breakfast after they ate they packed their lunch and left for school. None of the girls waited by the gate and Izuku remembered their parents would be here today. Izuku debated leaving and just spending the day with Eri but this would set a bad example for her and went to class. As they walked to class Izuku heard a familiar voice call out to him. When he turned he saw Pony waving and her parents were with her. Eri waved at Pony as they waked up to them. 

Pony's dad introduced himself I'm Shio Tsunotori this is my wife Shigure my daughter has spoken highly of you. To be honest i thought she was just talking up the guy that she likes he continued. We were at the mall yesterday and saw what you did to protect your child and i want you to know i was very impressed. Izuku looked at Pony who was blushing but she didn't say a word. We are going to a karaoke bar after were done today would you and Eri like to join us. Eri looked at Izuku and asked what's a karaoke bar. When Izuku explained what it was she got very excited and he agreed to meet them. Shigure walked up to Izuku looking him in the eyes as if she was searching for something then she kneeled down and asked Eri who fixed her hair. Eri smiled and said my daddy does. Shigure said your just too cute and stood up I'm looking forward to seeing you later. Pony asked Izuku for his phone number so she could let him know where to meet them then lead her parent to class 1B.   

As Izuku entered class 1A all of his classmates parents were already in class conversating amongst themselves. One of them was commenting on why was there a child's desk here until they saw Eri walking in. Izuku noticed that Momo's parents were in a deep conversation with Ochaco's parents. Eri walked up to Ochaco and thanked her for trying to protect her yesterday. Ochaco picked Eri up and gave her a big hug. Ochaco's mom joined the hug and said you were so brave yesterday. Eri said i knew that my daddy would protect us he's strong. Momo's dad asked what happened yesterday. Ochaco's mom told him about what happened at the mall and how Izuku jumped from the third story to save Eri and Ochaco from the Yakuza. All eyes were now on Izuku and he felt a little uncomfortable with all the attention focused on him. As all the parents and students began to whisper. 

 Ochaco's mom took Eri from Ochaco and walked Over to Izuku and asked if his parents were going to join them today because they wanted to meet the people who raised such a wonderful brave man. Izuku said my mother passed away when i was a child and my father won't be able to make it today. Beru saw the hurt on Izuku's face as he spoke but he kept his head up and smiled. Beru just wanted to go over to him and hug him just so he wouldn't feel so alone. Momo's father walked over to Izuku and said if your father can't be here today would you mind if i stood with you. Ochaco's father also walked up to him and said i would be proud to stand with you after what you did for my daughter. Izuku looked at both of the men standing next to him and said thank you but both of you have your daughters here and i couldn't keep you from them. Momo's father looked over to Momo and asked would you mind if i stayed by Izuku. Momo blushed and said no daddy. Ochaco spoke before her dad could ask i wouldn't mind at all dad. both men said it's settled then.

Professor Aizawa entered the class looking refreshed he was followed by All Might.
