Fluid Hope // Nomu Deku AU

silly heroes! // Part 3

A few weeks had passed. Deku had been training. He had grown to get used to his quirk, and often helped Kurogiri in keeping the others calm..
And of course helped him in the bar.

"Deku."
I looked up from the glass I was polishing, dropping the cloth and placing the shimmering drink onto the counter.
"Yes Shigaraki?"
I smiled, my glowing eyes half-closed.
"Dabi and Toga want you to come with them to get food and maybe kill somebody."
"Sounds fun! I'm in!"
I excitedly turned, exiting the bar as I stared at my teammates, ignoring anything else Shigaraki had to say.
"..Deku you may need a disguise."
I stared at Dabi, before looking at myself. I was in a bartender suit, and my glowing fog-like features were displayed. I nodded and slipped back inside.
"Kurogiriii can you teleport my hood from wherever you keep hiding itt?"
I whined towards the older and more purple version of myself, smiling as one of his familiar portals dumped my hood. I slipped it on, allowing it to drape over my head and cover my bare hands with its long sleeves. I thanked him before turning and exiting, slipping a disguise over my face. It was more or less sunglasses and a face mask, but it concealed me the best it could.
As me and the disguised Toga and Dabi exited the alleyway, I nearly bumped into a taller figure, making me shrink back. They continued walking, one small glance towards me. I heard Dabi's breath hitch.
"That was a hero, Deku. You gotta be careful."
"Of course Dabi."
I nodded, before following the two quietly behind, as they walked so casually through the streets towards the store. 
As far as I knew, I had to buy a new cleaning cloth and a book, as it was my only interest and entertainment.
I was lost in my thoughts for a moment, before nearly bumping into Toga as she stopped, murmuring something excitedly to Dabi.
I ignored it and nudged myself next to Toga, keeping my head held low as I looked at the store to our right. We were going in right?..
"Hullo? Store right there?"
"..Right."
Dabi spoke up to what I said, even though it sounded like a question. We turned and entered the store, earning a casual stare from the store clerk. We came ever so often, so they were used to us and our disguises.
"Deku, be careful. There are.. heroes in this store. Go grab your stuff, and meet us at the counter."
I looked around. Where were the heroes?.. I shrugged and walked towards the 'cleaning products' aisle, searching the shelves for the correct cloth. Once again, I nearly bumped into somebody, but ignored their annoyed grunt as I reached up for the cloth. The sleeve of the hood slightly slid down as I stood on my tip-toes to reach it, bringing the cloth down. I had grabbed two? Eh..
"What's with your hand?"
I looked at the person who had spoken up, folding my sleeve over my hand again as I looked up at the older person above me. They looked confused, annoyed and tired at the same time.
"Just my quirk. Not your business anyways sir."
I turned and skipped joyfully towards the book aisle, attempting to pick something out before I heard the shuffle of feet behind me. I turned to see the same person, staring suspiciously down at me.
"Uhm? Sir? Do you need help?-"
"Your 'quirk' reminds me of a somebody. A villain, to be precise."
I blinked, before turning my back and continuing to find an interesting book.
"Well, I'm sure I'm not a villain. Just born differently. Please leave me alone."
By now I was sweating, if I were able to do that. Why were they so concerned? Were they the hero Dabi had mentioned? They didn't look like one I knew..
I heard an annoyed grunt and fading footsteps. Good, they had left me alone. I grabbed a book before turning to walk to the counter, meeting up with Toga.
"Where's Dabi?"
I muttered, looking at her. We were around the same height, so I didn't have to commonly stare up at her like I did for most.
"He said he was gonna find some oil for Shigaraki."
I giggled.
"That crusty, musty, bossy idiot really needs some. Plus some lip balm."
Me and Toga continued to laugh about the other LOV appearances until Dabi returned, looking slightly annoyed.
"Why the face?"
"I can't find any of his damn oil-"
I covered my face, muffling my laughter.
"Sucks to be you. You can tell him you couldn't find it."
So, trying not to attract attention by simply running away like idiotic children, we payed for the items and skipped back to the bar.
Halfway through the way back I felt a feeling settle on me. Like we were being watched. Followed even.
"..don't go to the bar, we're being followed. Continue on."
I muttered, staring wide-eyed at the other two beneath my disguise.
They tried to act casual, Dabi slipping his hands into the pockets of his coat and whistling under his face mask, whilst Toga and me acted like children, holding hands and skipping around Dabi happily. 
During each turn we circled around Dabi, I took a look towards whoever was following us. 
A hero? Yeah. That costume looked like dog shit, had to be. 
It was a bright yellow suit with yellow traces and a black face mask. Looked like one of those comic heroes.

We turned a corner, and whilst the others continued on, I waited.
As soon as the hero turned, expecting us to be further on, I took his head and shoved it into the wall, watching blood splatter onto it from the force. Yet, I continued, banging the heroes head into the wall until I could feel his skull shatter.
I chased after the other two, skipping with my arms held wide.

"Silly heroes!"
I giggled as I joined Toga once again.
