The mechanic (Old Version)

^that playing throughout the chapter

James:and we have a winner!

*Eri smiled brightly and looked at his father smugly as she just beat him in a basketball. Izuku chuckled and played with eri's hair*

Izuku:guess I'm a bit rusty from my basketball days you got me on a off day

Eri:Uhu sure~ oh my God it's so fluffy!!

*Eri said grabbing the big plushy unicorn and running next to momo showing it to her with a big smile. Izuku joined them rubbing his back*

Momo;alright what's next?

Eri:oh! How about that?!

*Izuku and momo looked at the extremely fast rollercoaster making both of there stomach rumble in objection*

Izuku:wish I could baby girl but I feel my back starting to hurt. So I'm gonna sit this one out and stay at that bench over there, but I'm sure your mother would just love to join you

*Izuku said with a completely innocent face as momo looked at him with an utterly betrayed and angry look as she forced a smile*

Momo:your back huh?

Izuku:yes it acts up in the most unfortunate of times have fun~

*Izuku grabbed eri's unicorn, and Eri grabbed Momo's hand dragging her to the line. Izuku chuckled as he went and sat down sighing deeply*

Izuku:magneto that feels good

*Izuku glanced at the person also sitting there a 70-something looking man in a large black trench coat*

Izuku: lovely night wouldn't you agree?

Gabriel:it...is quite a night yes

Izuku:here with family?

Gabriel:no no, just keeping the tradition alive

Izuku:oh? Want to tell me about it?

Gabriel:you want to hear an old man's tale?

Izuku:sure better then the alternative

*Gabriel hummed didn't say anything just looked Ahead with a look izuku knows all too well*

Gabriel:my....my family used to come here every year since I was a boy and this place used to be a normal circus, every year we would come back have a good time and just be with family you know?

Izuku:so what's so different this year?

Gabriel:eh I don't want to bother you with the problem of an old man

Izuku:who better then someone you'll never see again?

Gabriel:fair point. My... My family was hit with some pretty bad luck the last couple of years. Lost a few homes, few jobs, few....fee good people and unfortunately my wife is going to be one of them

Izuku:is it terminal?

Gabriel:no. But we don't have the money for the operation. Ironic isn't it? We've come such a long way where we can cure almost anything but if you don't have the money they won't give you a second glance

*Gabriel said in a bitter tone as he grabbed his cane tightly in frustration for the world he lives in. It was izuku's turn to hum looking at the same thing Gabriel was looking*

Izuku:so that's why your here on the most popular event of the year huh...how much you need?

Gabriel:what does it matter?

Izuku:just making conversation how much would you need?

Gabriel:around 50 thousand euro at least

Izuku:you must really love your wife huh
