An Hour Glass Of Memories

De-aged Dabi

(12:34am)

Dabi stumbled into the bar soaking wet, rain dripping off his coat. The smell of fire and his signature scent of peppermint tea which he drank specifically, lingered around him.

Shigaraki looked up along with Kurogiri.
"Woah, what happened to you? You look like crap." He said narrowing his eyes at the raven.
Dabi spoke in between laboured breaths,
"Quirk- killed him. S'all fine now..."

By this point it was pouring down with rain outside and Dabi looked extremely tired. Shigaraki stared at him for a moment,
"Quirk? What quirk? Your not dying right-" he was cute off when Dabi passed out hitting the floor with a bang.

Compress looked up from his book and took one of his headphones out. He sighed getting up to go check on their pyromaniac who apparently just fainted.

All eyes were on the magician as he bent down to check the ravens pulse.
"Well he's alive. Probably just over exerted  himself again." He started checking for any wounds or visible bruises on him. "I'll take him to his room, he can sleep there."

He picked the arsonist up carrying him to his room before putting him down on his bed. He knew Dabi would hate him for it in the morning but it was better then being on the floor in the coldest room of the house all night.

He laid a blanket over him and turned the lights off leaving his room and closing his door.

(10:21am)

Compress was sitting in the main room reading his book when he heard someone leave their room. He looked up only to see a child stood in the main hallway looking terrified.
"Where am I...? Who are you..?" They whimpered. 

Everyone turned to look at the kid and sat in shock for a few minutes before Shigaraki spoke up.
"Who the fuck is that?" He said. Kurogiri scolded him,
"Language Tomura!"

Compress closed him book sighing and got up going over to the child and getting down the it's level.
"Hello, I'm Atsuhiro Sako. You are?" He said offering his hand out to the child.

They took his hand looking at him nervously,
"I'm Touya. Touya Todoroki." He said sheepishly.
"Do you know how you got here Touya?" He asked ignoring the last name he'd given. He had heard about Touya a while back. A supposed death in the Todoroki family.

He shook his head his hair going in his eyes before he moved it out of them.
"I woke up in there Mr." he pointed to Dabis's room.

Compress nodded at him before standing up and going into Dabi's room to ask him if he knew where Touya had come from. When he opened the door though no one was in his room.
"Dabi? Are you in here?" He asked but no response.

Compress knelt down on the floor facing the child,
"Where did you wake up?" He asked before noticing what the kid was wearing. It was the same clothes Dabi was wearing last night just they looked big on the child instead of fitting nicely.

Touya pointed to the bed and looked back at Compress.
"There Mr Sako." He said quietly.

Compress realised that this must've been Dabi he was talking to but her didn't know how it would've happened. He thought back to what had happened the day prior. Then he remembered, Dabi had said something about a quirk. This must've been it.

Compress lead the child out into the hallway and to the front of the main room. Everyone looked at him waiting to hear what he would say about the situation.
"Everyone meet Touya. He is Dabi just a kid I think?" He said looking down at the child who was holding his hand tight.

Toga squealed and ran over to Touya and Compress,
"AW! Little Dabi is so cute!" she said. Touya jumped back and his behind Conpress nervously.

Compress sighed,
"Toga be carful your scaring him, he's new to all of us so we've got to be cautious." Touya peeled out from behind him.

Toga stopped for a moment,
"Aw I'm sorry little Dabi! Don't be scared!" She cooed. Touya stepped out from behind Compress and ran over to her hugging her.
"Don't be sad!" He said screwing his eyes shut.

Toga smiled at the child.
"I'm not sad Touya!" She said hugging the kid back. Touya let go and went back over to Compress holding his hand tight.

Compress smiled at Toga before looking down at Touya again.
"Shall we get you into something more comfortable?" He asked the child lifting him up. Touya nodded smiling at him.

He chuckled at the excitement of the kid and took him into Dabis room.
"I'm sure you don't want to wear Togas clothes and Shigarakis the smallest one out of all of us so I'll ask him to borrow some for you." He said ruffling the child's hair and leaving the room to ask.

He came back with a hoodie and some small clothes for the child and handed them to him. "Do you need help getting changed?" He asked and Touya reluctantly shook his head. Compress nodded stepping away to let the child change on his own.

He watched as Touya struggled to get what he was already wearing off of himself since it was way to big for the child.
"Do you need some help?" He chuckled and Touya nodded.

Compress when over and pulled the hoodie over the child's head so it was off. He looked down shocked at the fact the child has burns and bruises all over his arms and stomach.

He knew Dabis quirk hurt him when it was used but that didn't explain the bruises. Touya looked down following his gaze and it seemed to click .
"Daddy makes me train and says I need to become a hero like him!" The child smiled.

Oh how he wanted to kill Endeavor. What monster hurts a child like this?! And for 'training' purposes?
"Touya is it alright if I bandage these burns to stop them hurting?" He asked the child putting his hand on his shoulder.

Touya must have sensed that it had made Compress sad to see them because he nodded quietly and looked down at his feet.

Compress lifted the child's head up so they were facing each other,
"Don't worry it's not your fault Touya, you won't have to deal with that ever again." He smiled at the kid and Touya's face lit up.

Compress stood up and went out into the hallway and down to the main room to find the medkit before someone spoke up,
"What do you need that for?" It was Shigaraki.

Compress turned around holding some bandages signalling for him to come with him.
He walked into Dabis room where Touya sat on the bed.
"Here you are." He said carefully bandaging his stomach and arms so it wouldn't rub on the clothing he'd been given.

Shigaraki stood and stared at the child for a moment before clenching his fists,
"Who did that?" He asked filled with anger.

Compress turned to him after bandaging the child ,
"Endeavor." He stopped speaking after he said that turning back to the child and helping him change into the clothes he had.

Shigaraki looked angry and went to leave the room before he was stopped by Compress,
"Shigaraki how about instead of going out and failing it kill Endeavor for what he did we try and make Touya have a good time while he's here?"

Shigaraki looked at him annoyed for a moment before stopping,
"How?" He asked glaring at him.
"Just go play your video games with him or something you know." He said leading Touya over to Shigaraki and giving him his hand.

Shigaraki nodded leading the kid out into the main room and getting something to eat for the both of them before sitting down and teaching him how to play his game.

(10:32pm)

Compress walked into the main room get Touya to put him to bed but instead was greeted by Shigaraki fast asleep on the sofa with Touya curled up next to him.

He smiled slightly seeing as they didn't normally get along at all it made him happy to see them resting.

(And that is another chapter done)
