Unbalanced

Well, it finally happened.

Midoriya Inko has been arrested for multiple charges and Izuku felt some weight leave his back until the day of the hearing. According to what Ophelia said, they are going through a lot of evidence so the encounter will not happen until later in the week.

Mitsuki was mad as all hell with the charges and when she found out about the exploitation she wanted to kill her former friend. He doesn’t blame her one bit, though her outburst scared both him and Katsuki.

“Exploi-? That sick bitch! I’m going to fucking kill her!!!”

Katsuki chuckled nervously as he had seen this side of her before, as he was careful to not cross that line. He learned that a few years ago.

“K-kacchan, she hasn’t killed anyone before, right?” Izuku asked timidly and gulped when the blonde shrugged.

“Who knows, Nerd. Though I think she can, I don’t care to find out.”

Izuku chuckled. “R-right.”

Their room door opened and Recovery Girl, Mitsuki, and Ophelia came through. Immediately the duo can tell that she was still boiling but the greenette was grateful that she did not round on him for not telling her. She wanted to though, but even she knows some things like that are delicate to talk about.

“Alright, Izuku, everything is all set up and got your treatments for you to leave. Both you and Katsuki are free to leave the hospital, but you will be coming with me until the hearing for your protection.” Ophelia said, giving a copy of the paperwork to Mitsuki. “I forgot to mention I have a daughter living with me too, she is a little eccentric but she knows when to keep some space if needed. Are you comfortable with that?”

“A-A girl?” Izuku asked and when Ophelia nodded his stomach did a backflip. He never really talked to a girl and if he was going to be there a few days it made him nervous. However, since he can’t be with the Bakugou due to the protection laws there is nothing much he can do, especially if Ophelia was the only person he could trust. “Is she nice?”

Ophelia nodded. “Yes, she is nice. Her name is Eevee, and yes if you heard of Pokemon, that Eevee. You will see why when we get to my place.” 

Katsuki looked at the greenette and he could see that he was nervous and hesitating. He clicked his tongue. “It is only for a while, Nerd. Besides, having company with people around the same age is better than just hanging around with an adult.”

“Katsuki!” Mitsuki said and slapped him on the back of the head, causing him to lurch forward and shake in anger. 

“What!? All I am saying is to give it a try! It will only be a week or two right?” 

Izuku blew a raspberry to try to prevent himself from laughing but failed miserably. The duo looked at him with surprise and happiness that he did not lose all of his personality. 

“I-hahah, I’m sorry.” He said, regaining his composure. “K-Kacchan and Aunt Mitsuki are crazy!”

“HEY!” The two of them yelled and this caused Izuku to laugh even louder, eventually causing them to admit defeat and laugh alongside him.

So with resolve, they all went their separate ways and Detective Tsukauchi picked up Ophelia, Recovery Girl, and Izuku and drove them to her house on the edge of Tattooin. Izuku again had butterflies and unconsciously grabbed the Serpentine’s tail, again going into deep thoughts of negativity.

Will I really be safe there? What if this is just a dream? Is this mom’s way of punishing me for disobeying her? What will happen once I get there? Torture? Death? Oh my god, I do-

Izuku suddenly felt fingers graze his cheek and he immediately snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at the serpentine, who was looking back at him with some worry. 

“You doing alright, Izuku?”

Izuku gulped and took a few deep breaths. “I-I’m fine, it’s just…everything is so surreal. Is this really happening, or is this a dream? Everything is now all topsy-turvy so I am having a hard time knowing what is good or bad.”

Ophelia nodded in understanding. “I know that what you have been through and what is happening now is a huge change. Having been living in some type of darkness with no light in sight, it is natural to feel afraid or wary of something you may not have experienced. Right now it is like Yin and Yang on a scale, the Yin is heavier than the Yang but over time we hope to balance it out or make Yang heavier.”

Izuku looked out the window, thinking about what Ophelia was saying. “I had a light at the end of that darkness, then it shattered.”

The trio looked at him in curiosity. He had a light of hope before but it was extinguished?

Izuku contemplated if he should continue, as he still thought of the other's consequences. “That was not the first time I encountered the Sludge Villain that day, and I was saved by All Might. I looked up to him, thinking that he was a beacon of hope and brought fear to those dwelling in darkness. He was not what I thought he was.”

Tsukauchi and Recovery Girl tensed at the information. “What happened, Izuku?” Tsukauchi said, keeping the strain from his voice. 

“I-I am not sure if I can continue, he is an Idol to Japan and I don’t want to break his image. He must have been in a bad mood when I caused him to lose the Villain he had captured.” Izuku said after a few minutes, now locked in his thoughts once more. They decided not to press.

“You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to, Izuku-kun.” Recovery Girl said finally, but she will ask All Might personally. If he caused the boy some pain, there would be hell to pay.

“Hai…”

Ophelia then wiggled her tail, tickling the boy's chin and causing him to laugh. “Things are changing, Bunny. You will no longer be chained to that darkness, I will make sure of that.”

Izuku smiled a pure, grateful smile, and the trio melted in his cuteness.
