truth only hurts when you want to believe a lie

drama, trauma, & a dead mama

Standing in the center of the field was none other than All Might, a huge smile on his face.

"Fuck." Dabi whispered, exchanging a glance with Toga before they both stared at Rabid.

"Sir, what is All Might doing here?" Kaminari Denki pointed at the blond hero while his classmates nodded along.

"He is here as backup in case our three newbies decide to try and run." Aizawa explained briefly before turning to the three villains. "Okay, here's how it's going to go. Dabi and Toga, since we know your quirks, you two are going to spar first. Winner of that fights Rabid. Got it?"

"Uh, didn't you say that our quirk canceling bracelets were going to stay on?" Toga tilted her head, scratching behind her ear.

"They will stay on, unless it is during training." Aizawa took the bracelets off the blonde girl and the scarred teen before he nodded to the field. "Now get out there and don't kill each other."

"No promises!" Toga squealed, running to the field with Dabi following slowly after her.

"Whoever loses has to let Tomura give you a full handed backrub!" Rabid yelled, snickering when his friends scowled at him.

Class 1-A stood a couple yards away from Rabid as they observed the two in the field, getting into battle stances. The heroes in training were shooting Rabid worried glances as he watched his friends while stretching casually.

Toga made the first move, pulling a knife out of her uniform sleeve. She leapt at Dabi, the male villain dodging the swinging knife. He retaliated by igniting his hands with blue flames, shooting some at the blonde girl.

Backflipping out of the way, Toga landed in a crouch a few yards away, licking her lips before running back at Dabi.

Dabi let her get close, igniting his hand once more when she slashed at him with the blade. He grabbed her wrist with his still flaming hand, making her drop the blade out of instinct. Dabi lifted his other flaming hand, holding it before her face. "Yield."

"Okay, okay, fine." Toga huffed, yanking her wrist away. She went to pick up the blade again but it was snatched away with Aizawa's capture gear. "Hey!"

"I don't know where you got that blade but you aren't getting it back."

"Nedzu gave it to me!" Toga cheered, skipping to stand with Rabid. "Didn't I look cool?"

"You looked like a moron." Rabid replied.

"Hmph! I'd like to see you take on Dabi then." Toga pouted.

"You're turn, Rabid. Get out there." Aizawa gestured to the field where Dabi still stood.

"I don't want to fight Dabi." Rabid spoke evenly, jerking a thumb towards All Might who was standing off to the side. "I want to fight him. With my bracelets on."

All Might heard what was said and had started to walk over before Aizawa tried to shut Rabid down. "No, absolutely - "

All Might put a hand on Aizawa's shoulder, whispering in his ear. "Let the kid do it. He might be more cooperative if we knock his ego down a few pegs." Aizawa grunted but didn't argue. All Might clapped him on the back. "Alright, my boy, let's spar. If I win, you answer some of our questions."

"And if I win, you answer some of mine." Rabid cracked his knuckles, waving Dabi off the field as he walked towards the middle of it with All Might trailing behind him.

Dabi stood next to Toga, shaking his head as he watched Rabid stop in the center of the field. "He is such a show off."

Bakugou Katsuki scoffed. "That pathetic villain is going to get his pride shoved down his throat by All Might."
