"You were my lightning, filled my clouds with your patterns,
Made the world disappear,liked it better,
Then you left me here to the forces of the weather."

Hawks moved the phone away from his ear as he clutched his head which stung with an awful ferocity.
Mirko's voice rang out through his room
"ARE YOU OK? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHO WAS IT, WAS IT DABI? HE HAS A FIRE QUIRK, WAS IT HIM?"
"...Are you only mentioning him because we had a meeting about it?"
He could hear Mirko scoffing on the other line.
"So I dont even know my villains now, huh? So am I not a pro hero to you?"
"...An irresponsible one"
"Says the one on bedrest"
"I'm not that injured, Mirko."
"I guess you dont need a whole month off from your job then, either?"
Hawks had half a mind to hang up on her.
"So are you even worried or are you just going to belittle me for getting hurt?"
"If you keep being a bitch of a rooster than maybe the ladder."
Hawks felt like he was punched in the gut.
"Did you just call me a fucking rooster? With all your screeching, you're the goddamn rooster-"
"Ok sure, keep clucking, rooster."
Mirko hung up on him before he could get a word out.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"Dammit, my head.."

Toga poked Dabi's cheek as he laid on the counter, barely conscious.
"Kurogiri, is he dead?"
Kurogiri nodded, ever so slightly.
"Can I eat him?"
"He wont taste good, Toga."
Toga pouted. "Your just a bad chef. I can cook him up real good, make some crispy skin like with a chicken."
"Yeah, a good chef'll make him taste like a 5 course meal!" "No, Toga is a horrible chef, and he'll taste like styrofoam either way." Twice added from the stool he was on.
Toga nodded "He gets it, Kuro."
"Nm.." Dabi grunted quietly as he slowly lifted his head and reached for the bottle of whiskey.
He swigged down about a half of what little had been left in it before basically throwing it back onto the counter and almost falling out of the stool he was on.
Toga scowled "Stupid food, don't fall, the floors dirty and you'll taste bad!"
"He's already dirty." Shigiraki said dismissively as he walked by.
Dabi scoffed and flipped off the passing villian as he reached for the bottle and chugged down the rest of it.
His head fell onto the counter as he let out a hiccup and glared at the wall like it insulted his mother.
"Stupid handyman... hic... needs some lotion..."
"So do you!" Said Toga, peeking her head over Dabi's.
"Oh 'shaddup... hic..."
Kurogiri looked over.
"The value of your kidney is decreasing."
Toga raised her hand. "I want his eyes!"
"I know, Toga."
"His eyes are the prettiest part of him!"
"I know, Toga."
Toga giggled, lowering her hand to cover her mouth.
Dabi scowled, closing his eyes as his breath slowly became more steady.
Somehow, with every sip of whiskey he felt more and more that drinking his days away wasnt affecting his feelings.
That was probably the first time in a while he'd felt scared.
He just hoped it wasn't showing.
