Katsuki looks so cute in this pic ^

Tomura stood silently as the members of his league frowned.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dabi asked.

"It means that this kid needs help and only we can give it" Tomura replied, adjusting his gloves.

"He was with the heroes was he not?" Compress added, sounding rather worried. "Why weren't they helping him? Aren't they supposed to be the good guys in this situation?"

"Heroes are all fake" Magne said, pushing off the wall to sit at a booth.

"We should help him. No we shouldn't!"

Tomura nodded, seemed like everyone was fine with helping out. He glanced at Kurogiri.

"I shall help him out"

"Ooh! Me too, me too! He's such a cutie!"

"Then, since everyone is in agreement. He's staying"

"I could teach him some magic tricks" He heard Compress add.

"When he wakes, I'll bring him out. Oh, and positive reinforcement is absolutely necessary. Anyone who doesn't use it will become a pile of ash" He heard Dabi give a low whistle and he rolled his eyes.

"Of course" Compress returned, ignoring Dabi. Tomura then heard a scream. Not the kind he usually dealt with. A scream of fear or pain he could handle. But this... This was a sound of pure horror. A sound that only years of repeated pain could produce. Tomura froze. That was Bakugou.

Before he could move, Compress was already out of the bar. Tomura ran after him. The magician was already at his door, waiting for him to open it. Tomura threw the door open. Bakugou was no where to be seen.

"Kid?" He called. Had Bakugou escaped? No they had established a mutual agreement that he would stay until the heroes came, then he would decide. So where was he?

"Shiggy?" A small voice asked. He couldn't tell where it came from.

"Yes?"

"Is mommy's friend still here?"

"No, no ones here but me, you an' Compress"

"Mister Compress?" A head poked out from under his bed. He almost cooed at how small and cute the boys was. " Does he do the marbles?"

"Yeah, he does"

"Do you wanna see one?" Compress offered, voice soft and kind.

Bakugou shook his head, "Wanna be in one"

Compress looked to Tomura for permission and he nodded. If that was wanted...

"Come 'ere kid. I'll put you in one" Tomura swore he never saw someone move faster. Bakugou was at the magician in seconds. And instantly, he was in a small little marble. Compress held it carefully.

"Now what?"

"Don't know. I guess we can leave him there for a bit" The magician nodded.

"He's cute. Like a little kid. But that wasn't he needed help for, right?"

"The useless heroes don't do shit. He'll stay with us" Compress nodded at him. They returned to the bar and were met with questioning looks.

"He's here" Compress said, holding up the marble Bakugou was in.

"Is he alright?" Magne asked, visually concerned.

"He's okay, probably. He just needs time and a positive environment. And just because we're gonna kill All Might doesn't mean we don't have a positive environment"

"Because we're positive that we're gonna take him down" Kurogiri said from behind the counter. Dabi spun.

"Did you just make a pun? What the fuck?" Tomura laughed at the scarred man.

"Can I come out? I'm otay now" He heard. Compress released his quirk, Bakugou reappeared.

"Hey honey" Magne started. "How 'bout you stay with us forever? We'll take good care of you"

Tomura looked into the blonde's face and panicked. He was little right now if his look was anything to go off of.

"Yeah!" Tomura looked up to avoid the stares. "Oh! Hi Shiggy!"

"Hey kid" He could help the smile. When he was little, Bakugou was adorable. He could charm anyone. Oh, they could use that...

"Crispy man. I don't know what you're thinkin' but I don't think it's good"

Tomura waved Dabi off, moving to grab Bakugou's chin gently. "Do you wanna help me on a mission?"

"A mission? Yeah!"

"Good. Toga, get him the most comfortable straitjacket you can find. Kurogiri, can you make him drink something before we go? Dabi, shut your mouth. Twice and Magne, go clean up the meeting room, we're gonna need it"

"What am I doing?" Dabi asked, "Shutting my mouth? I thought you liked my mouth"

"Don't start, pretty boy. You're gonna get a camera for me. We're gonna be filming something for the heroes"

"What 'bout me?" The boy asked, eyes shining.

Tomura bent down to face him properly. "You're gonna be acting for me.

"Like a movie!"

"Yeah, kid, like a movie"

Here KawaiWolfie, because you asked.
