Ant King In MHA

__________ POV Beru__________

After Recovery Granny finished nagging me(women amirite) she told me to take Izuku to his house to rest and told me to pay for the cleaning detergent(I won't do that).

I ended up asking Toshi where Izuku lives and warping the two of us there. (thinking with portals)

So, here I am. Carrying the passed out Izuku over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes and ringing on the doorbell to his house.

I did that for a minute or two before I heard a lock click and the door opened slowly.

"Y-yes? Who is-" A short and chubby lady with green hair answered the door. She's 100% Izuku's mom. There's no question about it.

Her eyes went wide and she gasped when seeing me and Izuku. I guess she would be worried since her son's unconscious.

"I-Izuku?! Beru?! What happened?" Does she know me? That's odd, I don't really remember her from anywhe-

Wait, she does look somewhat familiar. Did I actually meet her before? Well, I'll ask about that soon.

I should answer her before she dies of worry or something.

"Nothing happened~ Just training~ He's tired~," I said as I waved my free hand around a bit(one of them is propping up Izuku).

"I-I see..." She looked relieved for a second.

"Oh! But look at me, holding you up at the door! Come in, please. Izuku told you to come over right?" She made way for me as she basically ran towards the kitchen.

I looked at her as she quickly started taking out things from the fridge and preparing to cut some stuff up.

I just walked over and placed Izuku on the couch. He didn't react at all, this guy is really a heavy sleeper...

"What are you doing?~" I never got an invitation. I just kinda carried him here to get Recovery Granny off my head.

"Hm? Why do you look so confused? Could it be that Izuku didn't tell you to come over?" How can she tell that I am confused? I don't even technically have a face to read.

"He didn't tell me anything~ I just brought him home to rest~ I'm actually training him...~" She looked like she just reached a moment of comprehension.

"Wait. So Izuku didn't tell you anything?" She rubbed her forehead a bit. She looks a bit frustrated...

"Do you remember me at least?" Damn, when she asks so hopefully it kinda makes me sad about not recognizing her...

Think, how many people were kind to you in the past... Well, very few people come to mi-

Shit! She's that hot nurse from all those years back. How did I not recognize her? Well, a lot of time has passed, but she still left quite the impression on me...

"Yeah~ You're that nurse from... I forgot the hospital~ But I remember you Inko~" Yep, this was her name.

I gotta say, good thing I have a good memory, now I can see this relieved smile on her face. Still, it's no wonder I didn't recognize her, she changed quite a bit.

"So you do remember me..." I could see her tearing up a bit. Why is she crying? Well, I guess she's Izuku's mother that's for sure...

"Sorry... Sorry for not being able to help you..." Hey, c'mon now, I'm feeling embarrassed.

I can somewhat guess the story here. I'm not that daft. I always wondered why no one ever bothered to adopt me. I mean, my case made waves for the mutant community.

There must've been countless parents trying to gain custody of me... But I guess the government was interested in me for quite a long time.

I guess Inko wanted to adopt me too. And, she was obviously unable. But what is a nurse supposed to do when the entire system is against her?

"You've nothing to apologize for~ But~ If it makes you feel better~ I could never blame you for anything that happened~" It all comes down to specifics.

I really hate seeing this kind lady break down crying. I can barely do anything besides patting her on the shoulder at this point...

Well, maybe a hug won't hurt all that much.

She kept muttering about being sorry and whatnot. She eventually passed out after a while.

I guess she had a long day at work, coupled with the stress of Izuku being unconscious and the shock of me suddenly reappearing in front of her was a bit much...

I obviously didn't let her lay on the ground. I picked her up and carried her to her bedroom(it's not that hard to tell which is her's)(Izuku really needs to get over his All Might obsession)]

I also grabbed Izuku and put him in bed.

Now, I could leave at this point. But that would be a bit insensitive. I guess I can make something while the two of them are sleeping.

I used to be a pretty decent cook back in the day. I've always cooked for myself after all(past life only, who bothers to cook when even dirt is enough to satisfy your hunger)

Now that I think about it, I've always kinda been alone. Both in my past life and this one.

I got close to that gang, but after getting over my obsession with fighting I didn't see them as the same. I could easily act friendly and fit in.

But I could see some of their choices as cold, needlessly violent. A perspective that I would've never had if I hadn't matured out of the 'fighting is my life' stage.

They were my friends, but they weren't ever actually friendly.

Vlad was the worst in this sense. He could act just like me, friendly, outspoken.

Then he could coldly look on as he commanded me to kill someone's children for his disrespect of our gang.

He was a disgusting person. After I matured, I simply couldn't see any of the members of the gang as anything more than worms, insects.

I wanted to hunt them down. To rid Florida of them. But I simply couldn't bring myself to do such a thing. My past and all of the good memories I had with them prevented me from doing so.

They were scum, but I am also scum, probably even worse than all of them. The only difference is that I became self-aware enough to notice that.

In this life, however, things went a bit differently.

Like in my last life, I got to experience unlimited power but quickly got bored of it.

Past life was having influence and being feared, people not even daring to look me in the eye. This one was pure, raw power.

I was alone for a long time. The very first friend I had was Souma.

Why? His innocence reminded me of what I didn't have. I thought that befriending him could make me experience something akin to childhood, maybe live a simpler life.

A privilege that I never had, and never will have(apparently). But that doesn't matter anymore. Souma got taken by All for One, and the old villain became my target.

From then on, everything went as it did. I got my revenge, I managed to make a few more friends along the way. People that I don't recoil in disgust when seeing. (hypocritical, but still)

People, I can at least somewhat be comfortable around.

Toga is special, she is just like I used to be. But, even with all of her antics and obsessions, she doesn't disgust me.

Maybe she reminds me of where I came from? Maybe it's because I know how drastic of a change she will go through if she goes down the same path I did?

Well, I want to be there for her. And, I will.

All of this thinking and remembering got me really hungry. Good thing I've been cooking the whole time, not idly staring at the counter.

I made burgers(classic American cuisine)(not really, but they're simple to make). I obviously made 3 of them.

If I'm gonna use their ingredients and kitchen, I might as well give them some food.

Cleaning up is really quick using 'Warp gate'. Just portal the mess into the trash and wipe the stains off.

I placed everything neatly on the table and looked at the stairs. I could see that both Izuku and Inko got up at this point. They were probably both a bit confused though.

I could see(through the walls/ceiling) the two of them meeting in the hallway and speaking a bit before both of them came down the stairs.

They seem to have smelled the scent of cooked minced meat and are quite confused.

"Beru? Are you still here?!" Asked Inko while coming down the stairs, Izuku was right behind her. As expected, just leaving after putting them to bed might've been a bit insensitive.

"Obviously~," I said as I stared at the green-haired family.

Izuku looked at the table, he seemed to be both embarrassed and hungry. "D-Did you make the food? Oh, and thanks for bringing me home..." His question was more of a formality really.

They both sat down and stared at their plates.

"Oh, what a poor host I am... Sorry Beru, you even had to cook us dinner." Inko finally broke her silence, only to apologize in true Midoriya style.

"It's fine~ I wanted to do this~ I don't really know Ja- complicated foods though~" I was about to say that I don't know Japanese cuisine. It seems I've reached the height of my lacking intellect, my last three brain cells are struggling to keep up.

"I see... Still, I feel quite bad." I guess it's her time to look down in shame.

"Doesn't matter~ You'll get the chance to make it up to me~" I said as I waved her concerns off and pushed her plate further towards her.

"Thank you for the food!" They both said as they started to eat.

Huh, I guess it's been a while since I've eaten my own cooked food. It seems I at least remember how to season the meat.

The Midoriya's also seem to like the burgers. Now that I think about it, I think I've been here for like 2 hours.

I can't really spend the night here, Toga might get concerned for no reason.

The three of us ate slowly, we chatted a bit. Izuku only managed to get a few words in. Most of the topics were Inko asking me about how my life had been and me asking how her career as a nurse has been.

Overall, it was a nice experience. Inko is really an agreeable woman. She's also expressed quite a lot of concern for her son and his choice of profession.

Which is reasonable. I could also see that Izuku was getting quite embarrassed at that.

My words seemed to calm her down a bit though. "Well, he is training~ He has potential~ But that all comes with a risk~ At least you can confidently say that your son is following his dreams~"

It wasn't the most sympathetic take for her situation. She could have easily said, 'So what if he's following his dreams? He is constantly in danger'. But she just became silent for a bit.

I guess my simplistic answer still gave her something to think about.

Eventually, though, the time came for me to leave. It was already nearing midnight, and Izuku looked like he could fall asleep any second at this point.

Inko let me off with a 'You're always welcome here'. It was quite nice of her.

Makes me think of what could've happened if she did manage to adopt me. Maybe I would've developed differently. (probably not by much)

Well, that was about the way I spent my night, I warped myself to bed. And Toga did her usual, koala hold on me as I drifted off to sleep.
