LoV

Iylla's POV

When I walked through the portal, I left the burning woods behind me and stepped into a disgusting bar. Alcohol replaced the smell of the blazing fire behind me.

"Here, take these," Lilly laughed, slapping another pair of quirk canceling cuffs on me. "Since you lost the other ones."

The high schooler, Toga, ripped off my neck bandage, put her face right up the wound, and drooled over it. "Blood."

I shoved my shoulder into her chest, giving myself some space. She landed on her butt, crying about being treated poorly.

"Hey! No one pushes Toga like that!" The fully masked man complained, offended. "LOL, I wish I got that on video! Toga, you look ridiculous!" The same man held his belly in manic laughter. 

"Look at this hair," Dabi moved in, whispering in my ear as he ran his hands through my hair. "Very beautiful; too bad it got a choppy cut."

"I'm sorry," His scarred face was inches in front of mine, sending chills down my spine. I slammed my foot down on his, pushing him away. "Did I say you could touch me?"

Unlike Toga, Dabi didn't fall to the floor. He merely staggered a few steps back, a menacing smile finding its way to his face. 

"Oh?" The way he lazily stalked toward me gave me a sense of deja vu. "You don't like that do you? Well, how about this?"

He grabbed my hair in a fist, yanking it above my head and using it to force me into the wall behind me. I groaned as my head hit the hard surface. Lilly took an unconfident step in my direction but thought better of it and looked away instead. The other villains watched, amused by the show.

"Don't get cocky, Dabi. I'll get out of these cuffs eventually."

Ignoring the threat, he leaned in, running his hands across my body. "Where's your tracker? I know you got one, so unless you want me to search for it on my own..."

"Get off of her; you burnt chicken nugget!" The familiar angry voice both raised my spirits and lowered them. In one hand, I was glad I wasn't entirely alone here, but in the other, I wished I was.

"Hmm, strange. I thought you already had a lover boy." Dabi moved ever closer. I turned my head as his nose traced my jawline. "And I know my eyesight isn't what it used to be, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him."

"Yeah, and it ain't you either." I struggled against him, trying to push him off me, but he wasn't going anywhere so simply. "Get away from me, or I'll make you."

"And what do you think you're going to do about it?" He teased me by intertwining his fingers with mine. "Your hands don't do anything right now. My hands, well, they do this."

His cold hands heated up until blue flames erupted from them. I screamed in surprise, trying to separate myself from the pain, but Dabi held tight. The ends of my hair burned, but Dabi never let his flames claim more than a few inches. 

"Iylla!" I think, somewhere out there, I heard someone calling my name, but that couldn't be right. The only person here who might care about my pain was Bakugo, and he didn't even call me by my name.

Instead of trying to fight Dabi's grip, I matched his strength. I twisted his arm until it nearly broke. At the mercy of the way I forced my knee into his lower back, he released both my hand and hair. I thrust him into the ground, gently holding my arms against my body.

"Stop." Lilly finally spoke up, but she wasn't speaking on my behalf. I froze, unable to move at all. "Give us your tracker."

My uninjured hand reached into my shirt, retrieving the tracker from my bra. I threw the tracker at Lilly's feet, Dabi laughing under me.
