Lying on the sofa bored out of your mind, absentmindedly tossing a ball you had found in your hand while the tv played some random music channel you didn't care about. All the news channels had been hidden it seemed they had done it on purpose so there was no way to know what the hell was going on out there or if Keigo was allowed back out to do hero stuff... You already knew there was no way they would let Dabi or Celine go.

Humming the tunes as they went on a radio station you found, occasionally you'd sing aloud if you knew the song well enough until one came on, you stopped the ball in your hand and held it there, singing  while tears started to fall from your eyes. It was the song you always sung when feeling a bit low, Celine sung it to you one day after a super shitty thing happened and it became your thing to sing it to everyone after bad days, you even remembered singing it to your best friend Touya before he vanished...

You sang to help release some of the sadness in your heart, sitting up, crossing your legs and letting all your emotions out in the meaningful lyrics, your voice rang out through your cell and didn't care one bit. Eric could hear you, he slowly rose from his seat in his office to stand in the doorway, opening the door he was hit with just how much you could project your voice, he wondered if this was your quirk working but could tell it wasn't. 

He went back to the office and flicked 2 switches, the security cameras moving to your position and a little red light flicked on. He felt bad and didn't know what else to do, you were trying so desperately for your voice to reach everyone through the vents and to the winds, where ever your friends where. To Rumi and Toga, Dabi and Keigo, even to Celine and Mochi but also to one friend you missed more than ever, Touya Todoroki. 

After the song finished, you lied down and cried yourself to sleep quietly, unaware of what Eric had just done. He was quick to go back to the office and re flick the switches before leaving to do something he thought was important.


-----------------------------------------------------------

Keigo was trying to escape his restraints but couldn't make the damned things budge, he decided to ignore the food and water that had been pushed through the door flap to keep him alive to focus on getting to you, making sure you were okay. Before he could register what was going on he heard a click and a hidden screen showed itself in the wall, his eyes widdened at the sight and sound. 

It was you. His Y/N. Singing sadly and crying. His expression softened, seeing how the area you were in was actually nice, they kept their word he guessed, but why were you sad? And then he heard the chorus, it was THAT song, the one you'd sing on bad days, his eyes widdened as he watched your secret performance of loneliness and heart ache.

"Y/N" He whispered your name, standing up and keeping his eyes fixated on your face. It gave him more determination to get out of here. It felt all too soon that as quickly as you came onto the screen, you lied down and were gone from his sight once more. He cried before screaming out with anger, he tried even harder to get out, forcing his wings to try and break the ties keeping them contained, he could hear commotion outside but didn't give two shits. They had just fucked with his songbird for the last time.


-------------------------------------------------------------

"Fuck sake, these things aren't gonna do shit" Celine grumbled aloud again. Dabi ignored her but kept working on trying to get the mostly broken staples to open the locks. It was starting to seem impossible but he wouldn't give up. He'd burn this entire facility to ashes with everyone inside it. 

"Just keep trying" He told her, keeping his focus on the stupid bared door in front of him. He heard a sigh before looking up for a second. "Stop staring at me"

"I can't help it, who knew you looked human once" Celine chuckled, leaning back on the crappy excuse for a bed, giving her hands a moment of rest, watching Dabi's eyes move from her to the wall as he decided to give himself a rest as well. Moving his body so she couldn't see his face anymore, he knew what would happen now and wasn't prepared for it.

They soon heard a click and were quick to stand up, pushing themselves against the bars so they could see the shitty old tv on the wall above the only door in and out of this hell pit turn on, Celine took a deep breath in as Dabi's jaw dropped to see you, crying while singing your heart out. Celine's hand went to cover her mouth while Dabi let a rouge tear escape his eye, he knew that song too well and had flashbacks to when he was younger.

Celine couldn't help but glance at him to see both his hands gently holding the bars as a tear fell down his now unscarred cheek, she could have sworn she knew his face from somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Casting her eyes back to the screen of you to watch you let out your emotions the main way you knew how, she bit her lip as she tried so hard not to cry to then hear Dabi's voice, he was singing it too, the same song, harmonising with you beautifully.

Before they both knew it you lied down and your frame heaving, it was obvious you were crying and the tv went back to black, silence deafening them once more, Celine looked to Dabi whose head was lowered, she couldn't see his face through his hair but she could see a different colour in his hair, he dyed it? Was that his natural colour? She decided to save the questions for later, she now had more determination than ever to get to you. And nothing would stand in her way.

She tried to fill the little keyhole with some powerful radiation and set a small fire into it but it didn't work, she kept trying this for several minutes while Dabi tried to melt the locks.

"That won't work" Came a voice as the door opened, they stopped for a second as footsteps came closer. "I'm here to help" Eric said, he looked tiredly at the pair, Dabi managed to grab his coat and pulled him against the bars, his arm around his throat cutting off his air supply slightly.

"Why the fuck should we trust you?" Celine growled.

"Because" Eric struggled to speak. "I'm her... personal handler!" Dabi soon let him go but didn't believe him.

"Prove it" He snarled, scaring the smaller man as he stood tall and menacing. Eric brought out a remote and clicked a button, showing your sleeping body on the sofa flash up on the tv.

"She wants to know where you are but if I tell her then she'll do something silly and get hurt but if I help you guys I can't get in trouble and neither can she..." He explained. "They'll kill us all before letting us go but they won't kill her, they want to use her quirk as much as possible to instantly heal heroes on the front lines against the league of villains"

"Make a plan then four eyes" Celine grumbled, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall.
