Izuku returned to the Batcave, his suit a charred and torn ghost of its former self. He needed a new suit before he could go out crime fighting again. Fortunately, he had created a spare in case of emergency. This suit was significantly more manoeuvrable that the older one and was more intimidating. There was no blades on the gauntlets and the Batsymbol was detachable. The suit was totally bulletproof but the cowl did not have a rebreather built in as a retractable feature. There are small grappling hooks built into the gauntlets and the cape can morph into a wing suit to allow for faster and more precise flight. 

Unfortunately, his servings of vengeance and justice went on for longer than expected and it was already Christmas Day. Well, just past midnight but whatever. He had promised Kyoka he would be in bed with her before midnight but he couldn't ignore the call. But since he fought some villains and stopped some petty crime, he would have to deal with an angry girlfriend who missed out on her highly valued snuggle time.

After giving himself a quick stitch up and applying some first aid for his wounds, Izuku made his way to Kyoka's room. He decided to enter through the window to avoid the locks on her door clicking and waking her up, especially since her quirk gave her super advanced hearing. Being extra careful, he snuck in and slowly made his way to the bed to crawl in next to her but he immediately noticed something was wrong. The thing in the bed had no pulse, breathing and was stuffed to fill the shape of Kyoka. No sound came whatsoever until he released a sigh and muttered under his breath.

"Shit." The light then flicked on and next to the switch stood his girlfriend with an angry look on her face. Villains, psychos, cannibals, serial killers, a roid-raging man in a bdsm mask and Karens? No trouble for him. An angry girlfriend however was an entirely different matter. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

"You're damn right 'shit'! Where have you been? You said you would be back before midnight for snuggles. I know you have to do your whole 'I'm vengeance!' thing but you promised me snuggle time mister! And now I have been standing her since midnight waiting for you to come in and if you don't give me a good excuse for why you are late, your ass is on the couch!" Izuku just stood there, frozen more than his encounters with Freeze.

"I was following up on Sionis to try get more intel on who sent All Might after me and expose their corruption. I found out the League was involved and All for One was partnered with Black Mask. I had a lot of them corners i their hideout and was ready to bring them in until some guy with a purple suit and clown make up came in and blew the place up. They all got away but my suit was damaged and I've spent the last half an hour stitching up any cuts I have and stopping bleeding. That's the truth and I'm sorry I wasn't back in time." Kyoka narrowed her eyes as she looked over his body and checked on him. His freshly sewn wounds had a little blood still present, a result of preforming medical attention on oneself. He does make a bloody mess. (If you recognise that reference you are a legend)

After checking his body over, she gently ran her dainty hands along his toned muscles. Her fingers traced the well defined lines of his abs and her other hand rested on his left peck as she looked up to him, a teasing and loving smile across her face and a glint in her eyes. Kyoka's jacks draped over his shoulders and then around his neck as he took her hips into his hands and pulled her close with a smirk on his face. The two felt their hearts starting to race as their lips collided in an explosion of love and passion. Their kiss was long and had been needed by the lovers. Kyoka felt Izuku's hand travel from her hip to her back as he pulled her closer and tilted her back slightly to deepen the kiss. Izuku on the other hand felt Kyoka's fingers and jacks running through his hair as she leaned and melted into the kiss. Their tongues fought for dominance but Izuku won and she was at his mercy. Eventually, after a lengthy make out session they broke for air and embraced each other, heavily breathing to catch their breath.

"I take it this means I'm staying in the bed tonight?" He asked, holding his girlfriend and greatest love closer to him. She enjoyed the closeness and tightened her hold on him to make up for the lack of snuggles earlier.

"Oh no, your ass is still on that couch for depriving me for so long." She said with a small giggle which he simply chuckled at in response.

"Alright. Oh and Kyoka?"

"Yes Izu-" she once again found herself in the passionate clash of their lips and began to give herself to the passion. After a short while, Izuku broke the kiss and stared into the amethyst gems of his lover.

"Merry Christmas."

The day went about how you would expect for a Christmas. The whole class had Christmas dinner, had a gift exchange and had a great time with each other. A few people even kissed under the mistletoe and most questioned why Izuku was sleeping on the couch when they came down. Regardless, everyone was having a good time but something felt different to Izuku. Like something was missing. While everyone was distracted by Mina and Toru singing, Izuku exited the room and made his way to his. Nobody seemed to notice except of course, Kyoka Jiro. She followed loosely behind as he entered his room and sat in his chair in utter darkness. She slowly opened his door, allowing a sliver of light to enter and she caught a glimpse of him staring at something. He had noticed her presence and turned to face her as he stood up. When she looked to his hands, she saw a photo of him and his parents when he was younger.

"You miss them. Don't you?" Kyoka asked as she approached slowly.

"You know, this is the first time I've celebrated Christmas in years. I miss them everyday, especially at the holidays. The holidays is a time for family and being together. Mine are dead. For a long time, I've had no family. That was until I met everyone here and Eri. I wish I could change the fact they weren't here but I can't. I can't change the past and every time I put on the suit I wonder if this is the life they would have wanted for me." He placed the photo down. "If they would have wanted me to destroy myself every night, delivering vengeance onto the criminals of this world. Ever since the night Batman was born, I haven't been able to put the cowl down. But I do this for them and I would give anything to tell them that their boy is ok."

"I wish I could have met them Izuku, they raised a fine man. The man I love. Not Batman, Izuku Midoriya. You may not have been able to spend as much time as you wanted with them, but you have a new family that will take care of you." She wrapped her arms around him as she hugged him and buried her head into his chest.

"You're right. You're my family now and I will always protect and love you all." They stood in their embrace for a while until he could feel the tears stop falling. They began making their way downstairs and back to the common room when they were met with a surprise.

When they arrived downstairs, Izuku and Kyoka came face to face with someone they hadn't seen for ages.

"Eri!" They both yelled as they ran up to and embraced their adopted daughter.

"Mama, Papa! It's so good to see you!" Eri replied as she returned the hug. The two were stunned when they heard her refer to them as her parents but accepted it and hugged even tighter. It was a nice Christmas present from Aizawa. A family reunited.

"Oh Eri, we have missed you so much." Kyoka said with a tear rolling down her face.

"I missed you too Mama. And... I'm sorry about what happened to you."

"It's alright. I mean obviously it isn't alright that he did that but thank you for the concern sweetie."

From that point in the evening, they spent the time catching up with what had been happening here and how Eri's training had gone. She had spent a while training with all sorts of masters of fighting. 

"And then Master Shaggy was attacked while he was eating a sandwich which made him drop it so obviously he was furious. Then he unleashed a measly 0.000000000001% of his power on them." Eri laughed as she told a story from her training.

"I really pity whoever caused him to drop that sandwich." Izuku spoke up, recalling how when he trained with Shaggy he used even less of his power and absolutely destroyed him.

"I think the guys name was Matt. I can't fully remember." Throughout the rest of the evening, the small family ate cookies, exchanged some more stories and Eri caught up with some of the class too. Mineta told her about what he had been learning from Izuku, Mina and Toru asked if she had met any boys she was interested in, Bakugo talked about destroying things and Momo was spoiling her with candy when Izuku and Kyoka weren't looking. Eventually, the rest of the faculty came to see her as well. All Might was in his skinny form and on crutches with half his left side and head bandaged up.

"What the hell happened to you?" Eri asked. All Might was about to answer but then Izuku gave the Batglare.

"I... fell down all the stairs in the school." He replied a bit quietly.

"Oh, you should be more careful. You never know when you might fall again. By the looks of things you got lucky." Izuku warned All Might, knowing full well he did this to him.

After a few more hours passed, everyone decided to go to bed. Everyone except Izuku. He watched as Kyoka slept in his bed, so innocent and adorable. Her purple hair spreading across her pillow as her chest slowly rose and and lowered. He then looked over to the smaller bedroom where Eri was laying asleep in her bed. So peaceful. He had not seen her in so long and had not spent a night properly with Kyoka in a while. He looked at the cowl in his hands and decided that for tonight, vengeance would not be needed. For once, he could be normal. A family man. So with his mind made up, he set down his cowl on the rest of his suit and closed the compartment housing it. He removed all but his boxers and climbed into bed with his beautiful girlfriend, holding her petite frame closely in his arms. To his surprise, she turned around to face him, eyes wide open and kissed him on the cheek.

"I was beginning to think you weren't going to get in bed." She said, moving closer to him. In response, he chuckled quietly and brought his lips to hers as the embraced and he felt what it was like to once again be part of a real family.

AN - Hey guys, I'm not dead. Just been real busy. Sorry about that. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter since you have been deprived for like a month or something. Regardless, let me know what you think and I'll see you in the next one which should hopefully be sooner than last time. Take care.
