15. Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd songs always make good titles :), also this next arc was partially inspired by @depresed_lasagna for pointing out a plot hole that inspired me

Izumi's pov

I sat in my hospital room with a sad look on. I hated that Izuku ran away, I hated that he wasn't lying about dad, I hate that AFO nearly outed dad. I gripped onto the gown and began to cry. they hadn't let me see dad and I felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. 'Is this how Izuku felt?' I thought 'While I was being coddled and loved, he was being hurt and given up on' I started to cry harder "Oi Izum, stop crying" Katsuki said while opening the door "Ka-Katsuki? W-Why are Y-y-you up?" I asked through sobs "These doctor nerds cant tell me what to do" he huffed in reply

We sat beside each other in silence. He was angry but not at me, at least I don't think so "Where's Deku?" He asked. I looked at him and started crying even harder "H-He's g-g-gone!" I shouted and covered my head in his chest "He died?" He asked with worry in his voice "he flew off" I grumbled into his hospital gown "I'll find him, he needs to explain why he stole my move" Katsuki put his hand on my cheek and smiled "And I know he means a lot to you". We fell into the hospital bed and kept huddled together.

Mom showed up about twenty minutes later but she didn't say anything. She looked ashamed but also happy "You okay Ms Yagi?" Katsuki asked "Toshinori's last 5% of his quirk is gone" She looked down "Izumi, did you feel your body gaining more power?" She asked "no?" I replied. "The white flames that Izuku used to destroy AFO's head, we think he might have been given part of One For All" She looked back up at us "We need to find him, even with 5% he could get hurt" she was crying. I pulled away from Katsuki and brought her into a hug "He's strong, He won't die that easily" I assured her "also, you and Bakugo?" She asked while drying her tears 

Smol time skip

"You ready to see the class again?" Katsuki asked "Not really but we've missed enough school" I replied. We opened the door to see the room empty, minus Shinso and Mr Aizawa "So she found you after the fight?" Mr Aizawa asked  "Yeah, I don't think he wanted to give her up but he didn't really have a choice" Shinso replied while wiping away a tear "what's going on?" I asked "nothing. now, what are you two doing here?" Mr Aizawa asked "It's a Monday at 8 am, we have school" Katsuki replied with a scoff "You're meant to go to the assembly area, now leave" Mr Aizawa demanded "That conversation sounded like it involved Izuku" I stated, "I said leave" Aizawa activated his quirk. Me and Katsuki walked towards the assembly, questioning what the hell just happened 

Hitoshi's pov

"it's okay to come out" I spoke softly to Eri "W-W-Wheres Oni-chan?" She asked again "We don't know, we found a note telling us where you'd be inside his burning Café" I explained. She busted into a fit of tears, It broke my heart to see anyone like this. "It's okay Eri, Izuku said that me and my dads are meant to take care of you" I smiled at her before offering my hand. She clung to me and continued crying. I slowly patted her head and picked her up. she stuck to me like glue, I smiled and hugged her. I saw a white flash for a brief second and another piece of paper fell onto my desk 

'Dear Hitoshi, thank you for taking Eri. Please tell her that I'm sorry but I must leave, If I stay with her she'll just get hurt and I Can't bear to think about that. I also wanted to admit something, I've liked you for a while now Hitoshi, I'm sorry I never said anything but now that I must return to hiding I feel no need to hide my emotions. Tell everyone I'm sorry- Izuku Yagi'

I felt the paper get wet as Tears dropped from my face. I looked at dad who had just gotten into his sleeping bag. "Eri, Izuku says that he's sorry but he needs to go, he doesn't want you to get hurt" I felt her clutch onto me even tighter and water falling down my back "I promise you'll see him again, but for now, I'll make sure you don't get hurt" I assured her while holding back my own tears 

All Mights pov

"Toshi' are you okay?" Inko asked while rubbing my back "He's gone isn't he?" I asked back "He burned his café and hasn't been seen since" She replied. I began to cry as Inko hugged me "Katsuki and Izumi are safe, we'll find Izuku soon" She assured me "I finally see how bad of a man I am" I stood up and went to the closest cabinet "I cried when he said those words, and I'm a grown man! he was Six" I fell to the ground and began to cry "I don't deserve the mercy he showed me" I slammed my hand onto the ground "You weren't the only one at fault, I was evil too" Inko Knelt down beside me "And as much as they won't admit it, Izumi and Bakugo bullied him" She pulled her face up to me "While I can't say Izuku will forgive us, all we can do is apologise" "We can't even do that, He disappeared" I cried

We stayed in our heap on the floor until Recovery girl and Nezu showed up "Hello Yagi's" Nezu said threateningly "Nezu, what's going on?" Inko asked "Well other than the suspected abuse of Izuku, we have reason to believe that he has schizophrenia" Nezu looked between the two of us "We searched through census's through the last 2 decades and found no registration of an Inko Midoriya" Recovery girl stated, "So he imagined his saviour?" I asked "I believe so, We have reason to believe that his brain desires a family and thusly his condition will deteriorate" Nezu walked over to us "It is imperative that we locate him, with the power of his quirk and the inability to see hallucinations and reality separately could make him dangerous," Nezu said while turning away, "I think I'll allow Izuku to chose your punishment"

Izuku's pov Right after the fight 

"Hey mom, how've you been? that's a stupid question you're probably spinning down there. I'm sorry that I've dishonoured you but they needed help and I told you that I'd never let someone die because of me" I looked at Mom's grave and cried "Kid? are you hiding drugs?" A voice asked from beside me "No, I'm talking with my mom" I replied without turning "Your mom? Kid that's a flower pot" I felt a hand on my shoulder and mom's grave glitching "N-n-no, t-t-t-that c-cant be" I moved my hand through the grave and it fully disappeared "I guess you were hallucinating, what's your mom's name? I can go find her grave" The man asked. 

I just broke down crying. My life was a lie, my mom didn't exist, 'is Eri fake as well?' I thought as the possibilities ran through my head "L-L-Leave p-p-please" I requested. The man shrugged and walked away. I stood up and quickly flew towards the café, there were pictures there, they'd show the truth. I made it there in good time, a few people around saw me and tried to come close to me. One of my neighbours, Mr Nakamura came up to me and touched my shoulder "you were a vigilante this whole time?" He asked "W-was she real?" I asked "Who?" He replied "I-Inko M-M-Midoriya" I clarified "Look, we all thought that you had some issues and coped by creating a fake mom so we played along, sorry that we never told you" He looked down in shame. I walked to the door and kicked it down. Once I reached the Upstairs, I could see all the pictures, they were just me, no Inko. I dropped to my knees and felt my body heat rising. The building was burning.

I escaped from the building, not before writing a note to Hitoshi and Aizawa, They'd be the best candidates to help Eri. I made my way to a closed big box clothing store and snuck in through the vents. I stole a hoodie and pants, quickly discarding my prison uniform. After don-ing the outfit, I headed back to the roof. I looked down at my phone and searched through google maps, there was an island far enough away from the mainland but no far enough that I wouldn't be able to fly, Nabu Island.
