To Mura (Shigadabi)

10.

💧

It was late afternoon, and Dabi was heading back to the hideout. The fast meeting with Hawks just pissed him off, he didn't exactly got any valuable information just the bird man's insults and tossing.
He wasn't in a mood for that. The winged hero asked him for permission to let him meet Shigaraki - again, it was already a habit of his.

Dabi never cared, he knew his boss wasn't fond of the idea to meet with anyone other than the League or if it's necessary, the MLA members, so he didn't stressed it.
But now even that stupid request hit somehow different. Because there was no Tomura to meet with.
No one knew they would be able to see their boss or not, or how long will this state be valid,
how long can they be with Tenko.

And Dabi was sure he won't let that pure and sweet boy to be involved in any villain stuff.

When he got back to the base, he went to the bar first, where the other members were discussing the exact same topics Dabi was thinking about.
How they should cope with the missing of their boss.
They all agreed they won't ask Tenko to impersonate him, even if with some wig and makeup, he would be the exact copy of the leader.

Their best plan was to lead the organisations from the shadows, and if someone maybe from the MLA wants to meet the boss, Twice can make a double and Compress can make some magic tricks to make the act even better.

Dabi agreed with that. He poured himself a drink - he felt like he needed it so badly.

"So that's the final. Twice's double of Shigaraki is sitting at a throne or whatever placed into the shadows, maybe we should put some veils too. And then Compress, you can imitate his voice somehow, and Kurogiri will help you to formulate the sentences he would say" - Toga tried to sum up their ideas.

"Wow, you trying to assassinate me and take my authorithies?"

The blue haired male just came into the bar out of nowhere.
He looked at his subordinates with an amused but inscrutable gaze as he sat down - on the bar stool which was the farthest from Dabi sitting there as well - to drink something. He acted so casually, like he'd never disappeared for days at all.

All the League members were staring at him as if they were seeing a ghost right now. They thought it was a possibility that somewhen their boss would came back .. instead of Tenko?

"So you are here..." - Dabi was the one who spoke, surprising both himself and the rest of the League by that.

"As you can see" - the answer was heard after a while.

For minutes there was a silence between them at the bar. There were too many unspoken questions in the air - even the breathing felt so heavy.
How he got back? Where he was? And most importantly- where is Tenko now?

They all wanted to know the answer for that last question. All different reasons, but there was one in common - they cared for the sweet boy a lot.
Even they were villains, outstanding from the society, despised by the people and even the heroes, they felt that meeting Tenko brought some unexpected changes in their life.

The boy's sweetness and niceness was like an incarnet good indeed. The excessive cleanness coming from him gave the villains comfort and almost ascension from their own 'sea of sin' - Tenko was the bridge who just conjured a shore what the villains weren't able to find or even see before.

When he was asking them questions about their life, how they became a villains and what did they do before, but it never felt like an inquiry, more likely they got some relief- after they could speak it out.
He never judged them - none of them, no matter what they committed. He fondly talked with all of them, he comforted them if they needed it.
