⁴⁶all for your amusement

"Rise and shine, (f/n)."

Your eyes slowly open the next morning to see a pair of black ones staring down at you intensely. You sit up on the bed while massaging your aching forehead. No recollection from last night is in your head, however you do remember drinking a lot at the party so it's obvious that you got drunk. A groan comes from you as the pounding in your head gets worse in intensity and Alannah stares at you blankly.

"Good morning, Alannah." You say breathily after a yawn escapes your throat.

"Good morning." She holds out a tray of food to you. "Kami wants you to be the one who goes to the basement and feeds the Todoroki's."

You groan again. "Fuck no. I already have a headache. Out of everyone else in this building why did he pick me? Is he trying to annoy me on purpose?"

"Who knows?" She shrugs. "But still, someone has to go downstairs to feed them so it might as well be you. I checked on them earlier, their only half conscious and can barely stand to their feet without passing out. It's not like you have to fight them again, just give them the food then leave."

"Fine."

"By the way, me and Kenji are planning on going to an amusement park that just opened up a few weeks ago. It's villain friendly. If you want to come with us then we won't mind. We'll be leaving by twelve."

Only a few minutes later, you're standing in front of the basement door.

As soon as you open the door to the basement a strong and nasty smell crashes into your nose. You forgot that since they are stuck in their cage unable to leave, they might have pissed themselves during the time they were locked up since Kaji doesn't allow them to leave the basement. It's clear at least one of them did because the heavy scent of urine is strong in the air.

"Disgusting bastards." You huff behind your mask. "Why did I have to be the one that was forced to come down here."

Enji is the first to look up and notice you, then Shouto.

Your eyes linger on your sweaty husband, his eyes dull and lifeless. He's sitting up with his back against the bars of the cage. His wrists are locked into quirk restraining handcuffs that have a chain connecting it to the floor.

Enji is laying on his back. The somewhat rattled expression on his face is shocking. You didn't think the big strong man would start to break so easily.

What did Dabi do while he was down here yesterday?

You smirk, feeling slightly empowered by seeing your abusers restrained in cages. Just like the animals they truly are. All you can feel is cheerfulness along with a copious amount of freedom that you never experienced before. Shouto and Enji no longer have control but you do. That alone feels like the best thing in the world.

"I brought your food. I know you boys must be hungry."

"I'd rather die than eat shit from you!" Shouto shouts angrily.

Enji stays silent.

"C'mon don't act like you're not starving." You saunter towards Enji's cage. Your fingers reach into it then grab onto his jaw and pull his face to you, slamming his cheek against the bars. His eyes don't meet yours, still staring down on the floor. "At least this one isn't trying to put up a fight. I never thought I'd see the number one hero like this, though. It's a shame, really. You must feel so humiliated right now while your son watches your 'strong' physique stuck in a cage."
