As the biddings went on, Y/n couldn't help but feel extremely bored. The gruesome objects being out for display didn't bother her in the slightest and she only begun to wonder when was she actually going to do something.

Every bone in her body made her want to find the entire group herself right now or at least someone connected to them but she knew she couldn't, the whole reason she's wearing such a disguise is to slowly scout a connection without raising any suspicion. Yet the feeling of the blue flame users thumb rubbing circles on her hand for his own comfort made her more sleepy then she'd like to admit.

Her hands have always been cold but his were warm so she couldn't help but allow herself to slightly relax and having some sort of comfort in such a boring place.

Just as she was about to send a signal to Theo so they could leave, the lady on the stage brought out one more thing, "And for the grand finale we have the best weapon in our arsenal!" A cloak seemed to cover a huge box as everyone stared in anticipation. Most were already out of money because they've already placed bets but the villains couldn't help but wonder what the best was, as a man in a suit and a mask ripped off the thin black material they were met with a little boy.

Y/ns heart seemed to have dropped at just the sight of the boy. He looked to be around seven, eyes covered with a thick black cloth but she didn't have to see his eyes to know he was terrified. His entire body shook from anxiety and fear as he sat in the farthest corner in the cage, head facing the floor from the uproar his appearance caused.

People began to shout and whistle out of joy, taking pleasure of the scared little boy, "This fine specimen can kill with just one look!! He has the power to suck the life out of anything alive, successfully killing it!" That seemed to earn ooo 's and gasps from the audience, "However he can be easily controlled with just a blindfold, as you can see." Everyone seemed to have find that joke funny because many began to chuckle however Y/n couldn't have felt more disgusted the more the lady talked.

"The bid will be starting off at-" Before the lady could finish her sentence, Y/ns auction paddle was raised. "Oh! We got ourselves an eager one! To number 138 for 550,000!"

"Yo! This wasn't what we were planning Y/n! Not only are you drawing too much attention but have you seen the price?!" Theo fussed in her ear, of course he knew she would go to any lengths for children in need but she was doing more harm than good for what she wanted. If she kept this up the villains around her were gonna start questioning who exactly she was and he couldn't afford the one lead he found after a long time to be lost, "You're gonna get yourself killed idiot!"

Others began to raise their boards but as the money kept increasing, people lost interest. As it continued to go on, the last two who were left was Y/n and Yori. The man seemed relentless but that only made her push further. She knew the worries Theo had for her and completely ignored them. This kid was scared and in danger and she couldn't just leave him to get handed off to some random person not even for a second, especially if it could be Yori.

Dabi beside her couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in shock while finally slipping his hand out of her hold so that the attention brought to her wouldn't drift onto him. This was the most serious he's ever seen her, her face straight along with her eyes narrowed in such sheer determination. Just looking at her face he knew that Yori wasn't going to get that child and yet he couldn't help but want to laugh at her face for such heroic actions in a villains den.

Only now did the stark contrast between them become so apparent. She would spend a million dollars on a child in need without skipping a heart beat and he would kill a child that looked at him in any particular way. That thought alone hardened his resolve and caused him to back away, easily turning around and leaving the girl to fend for herself in hopes of never seeing her again but he knew things would be that easy.
