(Song not mine)
That Friday we returned to the base and I immediately noticed the bar was empty, besides Kurogiri of course but I refuse to see a cloud of smoke as an official person. Though, there was music coming from Ghost's room. the melody was sung by a woman and the only thing I'm asking myself is how it snuck a woman into its room. I gestured for Azarel to be quiet as I lead him up the stairs to Ghost's room, this is the first person to use the second floor.
The song got louder and louder and now we could also hear a soft humming in the background which definitely wasn't coming from Ghost. I open the door, which lets out a loud creak. What I see is somewhat surprising, the only person in the room is Ghost, who looks at me in surprise and resentment.
"What are you doing here?" He asks angrily. I look around, searching for the people who had been singing.
"Hey! Get out!" I look back at Ghost. Who's eyes only reflect annoyance.
"I-I'm sorry I don't know what he's on about- El let's go, we still have homework to do." Azarel pulls on my arm but I easily shrug him off. I make the gesture for 'song' which is tapping my ear a few times.
"I didn't hear any music." Azarel looks at Ghost. It sighs and holds up its hand. The song starts playing once again and I see a black haired woman signing. The humming I heard earlier comes from a blue haired man.
"How are you doing that?!" Azarel yelps in surprise.
"It's my quirk. I can project my own memories onto thin air. This is one of the last memories I still have of my parents." Right, Midoriya said Ghost suffered from memory loss.
"Ah.. I see, I'm sorry!" Azarel yelps, still trying to pull me out of the room. Instead I sit down next to Ghost on the bed. It starts humming along with the song for some time, before remembering that we're still there as well.
"They always sang my sister to sleep with this song. Her name was Delilah." The memory shifted into something else fatser then any of us could realize. Now you saw Ghost sitting next to a black haired girl, blood on its hands. It's singing something similar to what the older man and woman had been singing.
Even Ghost seems shaken by the sudden change.
"A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they've got planes and trains and cars. I'd walk to you if I had no other way. Our friends would all make fun of us but we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have been this way. Delilah I can promise that by the time that you get through the world will never ever be the same.."
There's loud bangs on the door and for a moment I think it's on the door of Ghost's bedroom, but then I realize it's in the memory.
"This is right before they took me away." Ghost states before the memory fades out of the air and it's quiet again.
"Ouch.." Azarel mutters after a while. Ghost shrugs, still looking shaken itself.
"I can't really control what memory pops up when I activate my quirk. Usually I can't even control when my quirk activates and it just does this when I'm feeling emotional." It explains carefully. I nod and leave, I just wanted an answer to my question, all it had to do was explain where the music was coming from.
"You need to stop invading people space like that El." Azarel mutters. Why? I just wanted an answer, I didn't do anything wrong as far as I know, and either way personal space isn't a thing in this family. I shrug and sit down at the bar, drop my school bag and take out a knife.
"You're not supposed to take those to school y'know. You have your training knives and that's all that's allowed." But that's boring. And those aren't sharp anymore so they don't do shit against humans.
After studying for an upcoming test for a while the bar door opens and Dabi enters. I make the sign for welcome back as I get up to change for training. Azarel follows me into my room, the room I now share with nobody, Toga moved to a different room ever since Azarel stays over almost every weekend. Which is funny seeing he's not even part of the league.
I take off my shirt and Azarel stops talking, I hadn't really been listening but it's weird for her to not talk.
"I hate seeing those.." He mutters, the bandages had loosened a bit, revealing the more fresh scars. A shiver runs down my spine as I feel Azarel's cold hands on my shoulder. I feel my ears redden and try hiding it by taking the hair tie out of my hair, letting loose the long white strands. I feel Azarel's eyes on my back and quickly pull myself away from him, putting on one of Midoriya's old sleeveless shirts. Azarel just then realizes what she'd been doing and turns redder then Kirishima's hair.
"I am so sorry- I know you don't like physical touching or-" I silence him by pushing his face away and leaving the room. Honestly, I don't like physical touch from anyone.. but when she does something stupid like this I don't even mind.. What's going on?
As expected Dabi is already waiting for me in the training room. He had taken off his coat, revealing burn scars on his arms. He didn't have those yesterday, which is confirmed by the fact that there's no staples around them.
"No quirk training today. Speed test." I shrug and take off my shoes, I do this because they would slow me down on the climbing wall. The Doctor said I was fine to train full time again and a speed test is needed anyway. I throw Dabi one of my guns and make my way to the climbing wall. I wasn't as tall as most people in the league and this wall was made for Midoriya's height when he was my age, which was like five inches taller, so it's somewhat difficult to reach the nubs. Though, I've done this before and I know how to do it. But I'm also still tired from school training, despite Kirishima still not letting me train full time.
(If you don't remember what a speed test is in LOV principles:
Trained (Which is in this case Dabi) gets a gun and tries to shoot the one getting tested (Elias). Tested has to climb up the wall before falling, getting shot, or both. of course usually you don't end up with lethal wounds.. usually. shootings will be in the leg on hand.)
Azarel enters the room and sees what's going on. He counts down from 3 to 1 and the test begins. I jump up to the first nub and grab it easily, not wasting a second I pull myself up and swing myself to the right, where there's a lower hanging nub I can place my foot onto.. If I had been taller.
I hear a loud bang and now there's a hole in the wall right next to my head. Azarel scoffs.
"Are you trying to kill it Dabi?" Dabi chuckles and fires another shot, this one to my hand right as I'm about to grab one of the higher nubs. The bullet scratches my hand only slightly so I keep on climbing. Dabi groans in annoyance as I swing my now wounded hand onto one of the last nubs. and then my foot slips. Azarel yelps but doesn't do anything as I'm hanging from the wall with one hand. I vaguely hear the door open but don't mind looking at who entered. That is until I hear Midoriya say something to Dabi, when I look over he subtly makes my gesture for 'go on'. I crack a smile behind my mask and start swinging my whole weight back and forth, eventually getting enough momentum to throw myself onto the finish platform. I get up with some difficulty but ring the bell, signing the end of the test. Dabi stops talking and turns around.
"Kid. I'm gonna kill you." Midoriya laughs and jumps out of Dabi's reach. I jump down from the platform and quickly grab my gun from him. Dabi rolls his eyes at my dad's childishness. I mean, he is known as 'the playful villain' what did you expect. Azarel laughs and pulls me away from both the grown men who are now playfighting around the room. I've never seen Midoriya laugh like that. The door opens again and I see a red haired man enter, Kirishima.
"My gods- How did that happen?" I crack a smile as Azarel explains. Kirishima raises an eyebrow and looks back at his husband and.. friend? They
"As if Dabi didn't do that for Izu." He mutters. Dabi activates his quirk as Midoriya pulls a knife. Immediately the fight stops as Dabi flinches and stops moving in general.
The concern in my dad's eyes was real.
"Dabi?" The fire in his palms went out, revealing red, burnt hands. Dabi didn't say anything. Even Kirishima seemed concerned now.
"What's going on?" He asks as Dabi keeps looking at his own hands in disbelief.
"Dabi?" Still silence.
"Elias go get some ice from the bar. Dabi!" I nod and run out of the room. Shigaraki and Aizawa are sitting in the bar and look up when they see me enter.
"Didn't you have training with Dabi today?" Aizawa asks, I just nod and jump over the bar, grabbing ice from the freezer under it and running out again. Aizawa saw the icepack and I think he immediately knew what was happening because he followed me back to the training room, where Dabi was still quietly looking at his hands and arms. I'd seen the burn wounds get worse over time but I hadn't actually seen him burn himself.
"Touya?" Hearing Aizawa's voice he turns around. Aizawa curses and runs to his boyfriend, grabbing the ice from my hands as he passes me. I stay watching what's happening as Aizawa tried calming the usually calm guy down.
"Elias, take Azarel to your room and stay there. Training's over." I nod and make my way to my door, Azarel following close behind me.
"What's happening?" She manages to ask after a long silence.
"Dabi's body isn't made for his quirk. it's made for colder temperatures, which explains the burns and the reason I was ordered to get ice." I write down quickly.
"I see.."
