Not A Villain

III

Katsuki's head perked up as sudden alarms blared throughout the school, glancing over at Shoto and Eijiro as they both looked at him. What would cause the alarms to sound? He'd only come back to eat lunch before he went back out, but what was going on now? He growled as he hurried over to the dorm's front door, Eijiro and Shoto quickly followed him, the three charging over to the main school building and halting in their tracks as they saw every single teacher of the school surrounding someone that they couldn't yet see.

"I suggest you turn right back around and leave," Eraserhead called to the intruders, his binding cloth drifting into the air as he held onto it.

"You two have no place showing your faces at this school," Midnight added.

Katsuki took in a sharp breath as he recognized who spoke next.

"You idiots wouldn't even help us if we came looking for it?" Dabi questioned, clearly struggling to keep holding Tomura. "You really are fake."

Eraserhead's eyes glowed red as he canceled the two's quirks. He gripped his cloths harder as he prepared to fight. "You two made a mistake in coming he-"

"Wait," Katsuki spoke as he walked over, his hands in his pockets nonchalantly.

Eraserhead glanced over at his student with fury in his eyes. "What are you doing? Go back to the dorm."

Katsuki shook his head, sighing. "We should help them." The teachers all glanced at each other. Eraserhead took in a breath to speak, only to be cut off once more. "Look, I guess I should explain everything that's happening, but these two clearly need our help."

"They're villains," Eraserhead hissed. "They killed All Might."

"That doesn't mean we should ignore them," Shoto called out, moving to stand next to Katsuki.

"Yeah!" Eijiro exclaimed as he moved up on the other side of him. "It's our job to help people!"

Eraserhead simply stared at Katsuki before sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose. Cementoss glanced between Dabi and Katsuki.

"You wish for us to trust these two members of the League of Villains?" He questioned.

"Yeah," he replied. "And I'm not asking."

"Look," Dabi said, and all attention was directed toward him. "We wouldn't be here if there was any other option, but one of us is already dead, and Tomura's injured pretty badly."

"And who would be so powerful that the League would turn to us for help?" Cementoss asked.

Dabi opened his mouth to respond, but Katsuki butt in. "Midoriya," he responded. "That's what he's been doing."

The heroes all went silent.

Katsuki clenched a fist. "He's not himself. He's completely snapped." He paused, looking over at the two so-called villains. "And if these two truly were villains, I would've been dead two days ago."

Tomura suddenly mumbled and shifted in Dabi's arms, his eyes slowly opening as he brought both arms up to hug Dabi's neck. The taller sucked in a breath as he felt both of his hands place down onto him, yet nothing happened. Tomura's hands dropped again as he lifted his head, wheezing as he breathed in.

"Ow..." He mumbled. Dabi grunted as his weight shifted significantly, until he nearly dropped Tomura as his arm gave out.

Luckily, Katsuki was there to catch him despite the amount of hesitance he had about it, supporting Tomura as he gasped in pain and nearly doubled over. Tomura gripped onto Dabi without realizing once more, his arm around Katsuki's shoulders but his hand not touching him at all.
