When hawks was finally done with his mini melt down he came back with 3 big buckets of fried chicken as izuku had predicted.

" We'll start your training after we eat lunch!!"

Izuku just sighed and took one of the buckets from red feathers offering it.

" Really how is it that whenever you buy fried chicken you get the most leg pieces whereas whenever I buy it I would be lucky if it contained one leg piece."

" I am pretty popular you know~ top 10 in the hero chart if I say so myself. It has its perks"

" Damn stupid hero privileges" Dabi muttered as he ate from his own bucket of chicken.

They are now all seated on sofa by the wall. Hawks had brought it when they made it their hideout. Izuku was pretty sure Hawks had bought it by how good the condition of the sofa was. It didn't matter anyway. they each have various stuff in here to make it more comfortable for themselves and he is fairly certain Dabi lives here. They have fixed the lock so only they can access it anyway.

" Anyway I have something to tell you guys" izuku started eating as he talked. It isn't a very good habit to talk with food in your mouth but no one here is going to judge him for it.

" What is it?" Hawks asked with a mouth full of chicken.

Dabi too was looking at him with the raised eyebrow and he continued eating.

" I have a quirk now"

Dabi wasn't exactly surprised as he had seen him activating his quirk but hawks was shocked if the chicken he dropped was anything to go by.

"W-what?"

Izuku just chose to show it rather then to say it again. He closed his eyes as he activated one for all. Soon red vains appeared after being replaced by crackling green energy throughout his whole body. Izuku opened his eyes to see their reaction.

" Oh my god, kid!! That's awesome! " Hawks was happy for his baby bird but..." Does that mean you won't use swords anymore?"

After asking that question his wings drooped as a few of his feather fell down in slow motion. Izuku had noticed that keigo would sometimes do it when he's particularly sad or upset.

" Really that's what you care about?" Dabi just let out an exasperated sigh as he rolled his eyes and kept eating.

" I will keep practicing with you and keep it as a support weapon in my future hero costume if that's what you're asking."

"Yay! That means I can keep kicking your butt in our sparing matchs."

" Yeah yeah what ever you say " izuku just smiled as he eat his food. Dabi and him chose to ignore how keigo's wings fluffed up again.

" Aww he's so cute!"

" He's really excited about swords...."

' he is, isn't he? He sometimes has insecurity and abandonedment issues. We are working on it. He's scared we'll leave or we won't need him anymore. It's not just about the swords. '

" And it's all because of them I suppose"

' obviously '

After they finished eating Dabi just sat on the sofa playing with his phone and izuku and hawks started doing stretches.

After a few rounds of fighting with both swords and hand to hand combat they took a break.

Izuku just plopped down on the floor and got the water bottle hops sent fly his way as he listened to the one for all vestiges bickering with each other.

" I told you he should have used a left hook and an drop kick."

" No round house kick was the right answer. It gave him an opportunity to move away from his position that way hawks attack won't hit him."

' as helpful as you guys are, can you please give advice one at a time? It gets confusing sometimes '

 
" Yeah sorry about that. Well keep that in mind next time"

" We're used to commenting on the current users combat technic and how to improve them but since none of us actually managed to find a way to connect to them like we are to you, so we aren't really used actually having our advice being listened to."

" We can also try not to talk if that's what you want?"

'no no no! I actually like getting pointers to improve myself. I really appreciate it, so please keep giving me advice.'

"Ok. Nine." Izuku could practically hear the fond smile in yoichi's voice so he couldn't help but let out a smile of his own.

"You're doing it again."

Izuku quickly snapped his gaze back to dabi to see him watching him with his chin on his hands. A curious sparkle in his sky blue eyes.

"Doing what?" Izuku smiled at dabi as he asked what an innocent look on his face.

"..."

Dabi wanted to roll his eyes so bad at the green gremlin whenever he had that innocent expression on his face. Does he really expects him to actually fall for that trick again? Yeah never in a million years.
