Chapter 58 : Confrontations

Start from the beginning
                                    

A ringtone cut the conversation short. Midoriya picked up the phone said a few words and stood up.

"Who was that?"

"My Mom. She just got done interrogating Miruko. I gotta go."

"Oh... Okay, we'll see you later then."

With a wave goodbye, he warped away in a puff of green smoke. Appearing back inside Rumi's apartment standing at the doorway, he sees Inko and Rumi who are speaking happily with each other. Inko who was facing the door noticed Izuku appear.

"Honey welcome back! Come on have a seat."

With a small bit of apprehension, Izuku sits down on the couch next to Rumi which brings a warmer smile on Inko's face and a small blush on Rumi's.

"So... Is everything okay?"

"Oh, everything is just fine. So when will I be getting the rank of elder?"

Izuku and Rumi's faces became beet red as Izuku stuttered out an answer.

"W-we h-haven't gotten that far yet."

"Well then, I'll leave you to to get to it then, Bye~."

Inko walked to the door and opened it to go out but before she closed the door behind her she turned around.

"I expect good news soon."

And closed the door leaving behind her embarrassed baby boy and now daughter-in-law.

A few days passed, as the HPSC was restructured. Invincible had visited the organizations and influential people affiliated with the commission which resulted in a few arrests and several small skirmishes. Yokumiru Mera was now the current head as he was the only somewhat high-ranking person who was not involved with the shady actions of the commission. He vowed to not allow the commission to fall into the trappings of its previous leader and promised to be more transparent to the public about the commission's dealings. With his statements registering as fact under Izuku's quirk he felt the future of the commission was left in safer hands.

With the reveal that Invincible and Miruko are in fact in a relationship, the reaction from the public was mixed, to say the least. On one side were the supporters happy that a new couple was formed and on the other were those who saw the pairing as unnatural for a number of reasons. The most vocal of these were those who disliked the power difference between the two with one being a pro while the other was still training and the resulting age gap. To them, it seemed like Miruko was using her authority to take advantage of a junior. Another contingent saw it as unnatural due to their differing appearances with one being a human and another a mutant as they called her.

With the comments of their relationship ignored life goes on. Invincible was disguised using gecko and beast boy was in the corner of a bar with Giran getting info on the movements underground. A few of the patrons were keeping their stern eye on Lizuku.

"Fortunately Sire the underworld is at a standstill. Not many are willing to make large moves to fill the vacuum left by your conquests."

"That's good news. Keep me updated if things change."

As Lizuku was about to stand up when two large men got in front of him.

"You should already know the rules here for things like you. Clean up after yourself."

Confused Lizuku glanced back to see the seat the same as it was when he sat down. One of the men raised his now rusty jagged metal hand as Lizuku looked away to punch him in the face. The blow was intercepted by Lizuku who grabbed his fist and twisted lifting the man into the air and making him do a barrel roll. Landing on the ground on his back the man's eyes were rolling in their sockets his hand now twisted and crushed. Everyone in the bar stood up on alert and got ready to attack. The other man seeing his friend on the ground retaliated.

"What the hell freak! You're gonna pay for this!"

The bar rushed at Lizuku. Giran tried to step in and help his sire but Lizuku stopped him from engaging. Giran respectfully stood back and allowed his sire to do the lord's work.
