Eri shifted and stirred hearing the alarm go off on Izuku's phone. The sun was already up at 5:30 in the morning but she was none too pleased about having to wake up. Granted, the young girl had slept for 9 hours and didn't have any problems sleeping that first night. She did however notice where she was sleeping. She was once again curled up on Izuku's chest like a little kitten. Soon enough after the alarm increases in volume for a couple moments, Izuku wakes up from his sleep and leans over before tapping the cartoonishly large head on the All Might alarm clock next to his bed. He stretches upwards before rubbing his eyes and opening them. Eri looks up at her father through tired eyes before she feels him pick her up.

From there he sets her on the side of the bed before getting up to go to his bathroom to get changed. While he does so, she hears him humming as he brushes his teeth and hears the fabric of his clothes rustle and move as he gets dressed. Her attention shifts from the noise her father is making as he does his morning routine to the All Might memorabilia throughout the room. She studies the posters, the figurines, action figures, funko pops, curtains, etcetera and even more etcetera. As she's looking around she sees the music box from the night before, it at some point had stopped playing it's tune. She stands up on the bed before walking across the squishy fabric and climbing the headboard to get to the music box. Once she has it she falls back onto the fluffy bed before fiddling with the crank on the side. She spins it towards her and it feels like it loosens. She makes a face of annoyance at the small box before spinning it the other way. That was the ticket, and she starts to perk up as she hears it tick and tick as she cranks the handle on the small box. When she let's go, it once again starts playing the song she had heard the night before.

"Oh, you grabbed that. I think it stopped playing at some point in the night. You can bring it with us Eri but you need to get ready because we have to leave shortly." Eri looks over at him for a moment before shifting her attention back to the rotating metal gears and cylinder in the middle. "Come on, let's get you changed and something to eat, Mr Aizawa said he will be here soon."

"I want more pretty sounds." She responds listening to the music box.

"As in a new song or just to keep listening to it?" He questions before opening the door and walking back into his room.

"Both." She responds watching the cylinder rotate and the comb of the music box flick with each little knob on the cylinder passing it creating the sound.

"I'll see if we can get another one after the thing we have today. Are you hungry?" He didn't get a response from her but rather her stomach as it growled hearing the mention of food which caused the young girl to blush from embarrassment. "I'll take that as a yes, come on let's go get something to eat." He says picking her up, Eri still holding the music box.

As they get down stairs they are greeted by Izuku's mother watching some morning television chatting with All Might and Aizawa who had come by early to pick up the two. Eri was at first scared of All Might but when the former pro puffed up to his buff form she realised he was the same guy on the posters she saw earlier, she relaxes but still focuses on the music box. Aizawa hands Izuku a brown bag from a fast food place and says that there has been a villain incident and that they have to leave now due to the roads being backed up. He sighed in annoyance before giving Eri to his mother to have her get changed. After a few minutes, Eri returns wearing an All Might onesie with the little ears up and she comes bounding over to Izuku having refused to change clothes. He chuckles seeing her act much like younger him before turning to Aizawa and heading out the door with the pros.

Eri was none too pleased about all the people on the train ride over from Musutafu to UA. She hid most of the time from their gazes by burying her face into Izuku's shoulder. Her logic being that if she can't see them then they can't see her. Unfortunately that's not how it works and most of the train occupants just minded their own business staring at their laptops or phones paying no mind to her. As they get to UA, Izuku finally decides to dig into the bag of food that Aizawa had got for them and pulls out a couple of Onigiri balls for himself and Eri. He hands her the large pyramid shaped bean paste and rice confection before handing it to the young girl. She reluctantly hands him the music box before grabbing the pyramid of rice. She stares at it for a couple moments before Izuku shows her to bite it and that it's food. Once she figures this out, she scarfs down the onigiri in no time before being handed a water bottle by Izuku.

"Well, the council is in the principal's office talking with Nezu. All we have to do is tell them who Nighteye named as the caretaker of Eri then go through the legal process of you adopting Eri." All Might says as they walk through the entrance to the student services building then towards Nezu's office.

"Who exactly is on this council anyways?" Izuku asks the two older pros.

"Son Gohan aka The Great Saiyaman, Clark Kent also known as America's number one pro hero Superman, Steve Rogers AKA Captain America and lastly Saitama The Bald Cape. They are only 5 of the UN's Council of Heroes but they are here to oversee this unique circumstance. I am also a part of this council but I have named Gran Tornino as my substitute for this particular instance." All Might explains as they enter the room. "All five of them also know of One for All."

"You and that magic quirk, should have realised that is what Problem child had on the first day. I may have actually expelled him if I knew." Aizawa jokes, causing the other five pro heroes in the room to turn and look at them.

"Well well, how have you been Toshinori. It has been quite some time hasn't it." Clark greets as they walk inside and take a seat in front of the desk where the pros are seated.

"Indeed it has, you still owe me a rematch." All Might jokes as he sits down next to his successor.

"Well, you must be young Eri. You remind me a lot of my own daughter. She's about your age now I believe." Gohan greets, addressing Eri who clutches to her music box and green bunny. "You're alright young one, none of us here are going to hurt you."

"I'm down for whatever, just so long as we go get Udon after this. I'm hungry." Saitama mulls as Eri squints her eyes from the light reflecting off his bald head.

"Well then let's get started, you whippersnappers. I'd like to go home and take a nap." Gran Torino mumbles before putting in his dentures.

"You're not that much older than me Torino." Steve pesters with a cocky grin on his face only earning himself a whack on the head from Torino.

"Alright well, We need the council's approval for Eri to be taken into the protective care of UA. Normally the hero agency responsible for rescuing any children separated from their parents would take responsibility, Nighteye's agency is now defunct since his untimely death. However he has named UA as the benefactor and caretaker to any and all children saved during the raid that cannot be returned to their next of kin." Aizawa explains handing each of the older gentlemen a copy of the documentation.

"I see, now what of her biological parents? Have you tried to get in contact and or find them?" Superman questions reading through the document.

"We have found her biological grandfather but he is to be taken off life support in 3 days due to an unknown illness he has fallen to. As for the girl's biological parents, we have found no leads or signs of them anywhere."

"D-don't send m-me back t-to the b-bad lady. Sh-she c-called me c-cursed." Eri whimpers, gaining the attention of all 8 pros in the room. Izuku pulls her close to him then winds up the music box for her. Hearing the sound she begins to relax slightly.

"Hmm... that complicates things. With her biological parents either deceased or unknown and from what she had stated are abusive that is not an option. What about finding a foster family for her while she's at UA?" Steve asks.

"There's a problem with that sir. The doctors at the hospital had a child psychologist review her case file and without even meeting Eri the psychologist has already determined that she suffers from severe PTSD. She had a near panic attack even seeing a plush toy that looked like a cartoonish crow. Not to mention she only seems to trust one person and one person only." Izuku responds by getting some of the older pros to scratch their chins or hold poses as if they are thinking.

"I'm going to go ahead and assume the fact that she almost instantly calmed down after being handed that green rabbit and the music box that it is you. Are you sure you are up for this Young Midoriya? Being a father is a difficult job, especially when you are young. Plus I am not aware of if you have a significant other to rely on as well. Are you up for the challenge?" Gohan asks and earns a definitive and precise answer.

"Yes sir."

"Well it's settled, Eri will now be under the custody of UA and it's Benefactors and will be under the primary care of Midoriya Izuku and any of who he so chooses as a significant other or others. The council is adjourned." Saitama says slamming a gavel on the table so hard it snaps both the wooden mallet and the table. "Oh... I broke it."

"How is that guy so strong?!" Izuku shouts internally as Eri pays no mind to the senseless destruction of a mahogany desk.

"You have to clean that up mister shiny head." Eri says turning to see what all the fuss is about.

"And make me a new desk Mr Saitama. That doesn't exclude the four doors you ripped off the wall earlier either." Nezu complains seeing as a perfectly good 200 year old mahogany desk is now nothing but fancy carved firewood now.

"Yeah... Sorry about that."

"I accidentally break my and Videl's plates and doors all the time so you're not the only one Saitama."

"I walked through the door to my house this morning because I woke up late and had to get here quickly." Superman smirks as all the pros start chuckling at this.

"Ah yes. Doors, The mortal enemy of all heroes the world over." Aizawa says sarcastically as he is the only ordinary sized adult in the room.

"Wait a second, can't you fly? Why were you in such a hurry?"

"The misses and I are on an anniversary trip to Kyoto and we almost missed the flight she wanted to take. She doesn't like flying when she's not in a plane." Superman sheepishly explains.

"Do you hear that Eri? You get to stay with me." Izuku says to the young girl.

"Oh... That's good?" She questions.

"No strangers, some new and very kind people, but most importantly just me and you."

"Last thing you need to sign young Midoriya. The adoption papers." With that statement from Nezu, the rodent handed Izuku the papers and a black pen as the One for All User gladly took both and signed his name at the bottom of the page.

"And there we are. It's done." The principal of U.A said as he clapped his hands together and applauded Izuku for taking this huge step. "Congratulations young Midoriya, you're now officially the proud father to little Eri Midoriya here."

"I like how you're the one calling her little mister 2 feet tall." Aizawa mocks getting the stink eye from the principal.

"Right. I'll remember that remark the next time you come crying to me about all the students you have to teach and that you don't make enough money. You regularly get raises you greedy cat stealing hobo."

Aizawa simply rolled his eyes with Izuku and Eri able to walk out. As they did, the OFA user obtained a text from his mother. "Look Eri. Grandma sent a text message with a picture of a kitty."

"....What's a kitty?" A black aura filled the room to startle all the pros a bit to calmly stay as far away from Izuku as possible. They might be able to take on threats that could destroy the world, but they dare not fuck with a raging father.

"A kitty is a cute thing that makes 'meow' noises. When they're happy, they purr. Some are also very fluffy, like this little one and some are funny looking with curly hair or no fur at all. The hairless ones look like a wrinkly potato."

"Or shiny head man?" Everyone looked at Saitama for him to immediately put on a cap out of annoyance and make the room less bright by a notable difference.

Izuku kept reading down the text message before finding out something rather important. "Seems grandma got you a stress kitty. That means this cat is yours. Actually... Multiple kitties, three of them."

Eri looked at the color of the long haired black cat with two more pictures of a pure white haired cat that had a smaller limbs than the first but did have a similar long fur coat as the a bluish grey cat that looked rather small compared to the other two with the last being a darker white to the point it looked almost gray. Though it was smaller, it did look more husky than the other two to give a bit of an original charm to it."They're pretty."

"Mom says that they're three different types of cats. The white one has two different colored eyes, is called a Turkish Angora and she has long white hair like your Eri. Plus she is known as a munchkin cat meaning her legs are smaller than a normal cat's legs. The silver looking chubby one is a British Shorthair and his eyes are copper like this coin." Izuku says holding up a copper yen coin. "The last one is special because he's a big boy, he is a Maine Coon which is the largest cat breed and he is all black with emerald eyes like me."

Eri stares at the pictures of the three cats on Izukus phone then holds up the music box for him to reset. The other heroes in the room either smile or observe the interaction between new father and daughter as he picks her up and sets her on his shoulders before tinkering with the music box. Once done, he starts cranking the small turn key before handing it back to her, Eri not saying a word and merely watching the cylinder turn inside the box.

"She really likes that thing doesn't she? That's Jupiter right?" Gohan questions, Izuku pockets his phone before turning to the older pro hero.

"Yes. Eri was super scared of everything when we first met and doesn't even understand what being happy is, let alone how to smile. The music box was the first song she ever heard and someone was playing one at the toy store yesterday and she became obsessed with it. That particular one is the one I used to have when I was her age to help me sleep. Now it helps calm her down when she's nervous. Jupiter is the Bringer of Jollity or Joy and it seems like the perfect song for her." He explains as Gran Torino scratches his chin in thought.

"I'm going to head over to Tartarus to see if they can expedite his execution sooner. We don't need another psychopathic villain with megalomaniac tendencies ever having the chance of escaping. Less of a headache having one less mass murderer and child abuser on the planet." Torino grumbles walking past them with his cane. Luckily Eri isn't paying attention to what the old man had said and is merely focusing on her music box.

On the way back from lunch with the council, Izuku had asked if they could stop off at that same toy store that they had gone to the day before. All Might agrees and soon pulls into the parking lot of the small shop. Once inside Izuku leads Eri towards the small music boxes and let's her pick out the next one she wants. However there's a problem, the store had set up a feature of the crow plush toys near the entrance. This caused Eri to start hyperventilating and crying seeing the crows. Izuku merely picks her up and walks back to the car, one of the employees rushed out to talk to them to see what was wrong. All Might merely explained that the young girl is very scared of crows and it was not their fault. He manages to get her to calm down showing her more pictures of the cats that his mom had got for her. Eri almost instantly forgot about the evil plush toys and took Izuku's phone to stare at the pictures of the cats.

As they arrive back to the apartments, Aizawa grabs a small stone and chucks it at a group of crows that were eating some garbage by the dumpsters before he let Eri out of the car. She paid no mind to the cawing of the angry birds that were disturbed from their meal as she was carried by Izuku up the stairs and to his apartment with his mother. As they open the door, Izuku has to quickly block the opening with his leg as the tiny white cat tries to make a break for the door. He scoops up the cat before turning her around and placing her on the couch as he lets himself, Aizawa and All Might inside. Eri stares wide eyed at the large black cat sitting on the coffee table, the cat almost as big as she is. Both the cat and her stare at each other for several minutes before the big boy walks over and paws gently at Eri's cheek greeting her with a trill.

"He big." She says as the cat sits next to her on the couch and is actually taller than she is when she is sitting.

"Very big, would you like to name them?" Inko asks, holding the chubby english short haired cat.

"No. I just want to pet him." She responds merely scratching the face of the large feline.

"W-well then. That wasn't the answer I was expecting. I did have names for them in case you couldn't think of anything. This big boy here is Mayonaka or Midnight. This sweet little boy here is-"

"Neko." Eri interrupts pointing at the silver coated cat.

"Ok, well he is Neko and the last one?" Inko

"Amai. Sweety." She says as the white munchkin cat jumps up in her lap and flops over in her lap before stretching and pawing at the larger black cat.

"How did the hearing go?" Inko asks, petting the face of the large fat cat.

"They approved of UA taking care of her and Nezu had given me the adoption forms to finalise everything. So, officially Eri is now my daughter." Izuku announces as he shows his mother the adoption paper.

"That's amazing! Oh we should celebrate! I know, I'll make some Katsudon. You two are welcome to stay for lunch Mr Aizawa and All Might." Inko says as she gets up from her spot and makes her way to the kitchen.

"There's no need for that Mrs Midoriya, I have some matters to attend to at UA. Cementoss and I have to expedite the changes to problem child's room so Eri can live with him." Aizawa waves her off before petting the large black cat that is now laying over top of Eri and smushing her into the couch. He bows as he leaves their apartment, heading back towards UA.

"Why does he call you a problem child?" Inko asks with All Might also raising an eyebrow.

"It would take too long to explain why. But to some it up, it's mostly because I'm reckless." Eri snickers from underneath the large cat that has now curled up around her. Mayonaka is so large compared to the small girl, his body envelops most of Eri with only her feet and head visible under the large black cat.
