Rock Lock: Oh yeah you right! Aye Deku!!
Our green hero snaps out of his muttering to give Rock Lock his full attention.
Rock Lock: We are about to go to the recording booth. You ready to head out?
Midoriya: Heck Yeah!
As they make their way to the Recording studio in the building, Rock Lock looks at Midoriya for a minute. Ever since he met the kid, he was surprised by the amount of strength and courage he had. After the raid he really evaluated how he sees heroes both old and new. Midoriya Opened up his mind to a whole New World. It's not the age that makes the hero. Is the world to keep fighting.
Rock Lock: Yo Midoriya.
Midoriya: Yes sir?
Rock Lock: How's Eri doing?
Midoriya: She's doing great. I don't know if you know this, but I'm kinda raising her at the moment. She calls me dad and taking care of her is a handful, but I do have help though. She smiles a lot more and is constantly learning something new everyday.
Rock Lock: Hm. That's good. I'm glad to hear that.
Suddenly, Rock Lock Stops walking. Ryukyu and Midoriya turn around to see Rock Lock with a serious look on his face.
Rock Lock: Ryukyu. Go ahead and go to the studio. I need to talk with Deku for a few minutes.
Ryukyu looked at Rock Lock, looked at Midoriya, and then at Rock Lock again. She smiles and nodded her head. She turned on her heel and kept walking toward, leaving the two there by themselves. Midoriya, puzzled why they stopped, decided to speak up.
Midoriya: Is everything okay sir?
Rock Lock: I have you here because I wanted to personally talk to you. I want to, from the bottom of my heart, apologize for how I treated in your classmates in the beginning. I don't know if you know, but I have a wife who prays that I make it home every single day. We just had a kid and the kid looks just like me. Not a day goes by where I don't think about my son. I seen you in the rest of your classmates walk into the meeting and I look at you guys and thought that you were just kids. I was never trying to be insulting. I looked at all of you as if I was looking at my own son grown-up and I didn't wanna put you guys in harms way. My wife tells me I have a big heart, but I always come off rough. I thought that maybe it would been too much for you, but you and your classmates showed me that you guys have more heart than a lot of these heroes in the world. I am man enough to say it, but you made me put my foot in my mouth. Sir Nighteye Was right to put his trust in you. I thank you for not just saving Eri, But me as well so I can make it back to my family. You are the best damn hero this world has to offer.
Midoriya didn't know what to say. He knew that rock lock comes off a bit aggressive, but he didn't expect this type of apology. It made him think about everything that he's been through, everything he hasn't seen yet, and everything that made him stronger. In the eyes of not just a great hero, but a world renowned DJ, he was one of the greatest heroes and he is grateful for that. Feeling his eyes water up, Midoriya held his tears in and gave a determined face.
Midoriya: Thank you sir! I'm glad I could help and continue to do the best I can!
Rock Lock: Cool. And enough of the sir bullshit. I think we're okay enough to call me Ken. Shit or stick to Rock Lock, but remember if we were to ever talk in public, it's DJ Kagi.
Midoriya: S-sure! Would you l-like to call me Izuku?
Rock Lock: Nah! Deku is cool with me. It's the name of a hero after all.
Midoriya has a big grin on his while Rock Lock stands there grinning.
Rock Lock: C'mon. We got art to make.
