Fell for a Villain?

A meeting

Dabi's POV:

The lair was quieter than usual, the air thick with anticipation as we waited for Kiamari L/n. I stood near the center of the room, my blue flames flickering lazily at my fingertips. Shigaraki was off to the side, slouched in his chair, tapping his fingers impatiently. The others-Toga, Twice, and the rest-kept their distance, aware that this was no ordinary meeting.

When Kiamari finally stepped through the door, I felt a flicker of something familiar-an old connection buried beneath layers of time and circumstance. He moved with that calm, composed energy I remembered, his eyes sharp as he took in the scene. Shigaraki straightened slightly, his red eyes narrowing as he studied our new guest. "Glad you could make it," I said, my tone casual but with an edge of seriousness. Kiamari's gaze shifted to Shigaraki, then back to me. He wasn't just here to catch up; he was here to assess.

"Didn't think I'd be invited to such an exclusive event," Kiamari replied smoothly. I could tell he was already sizing up the situation, calculating his next move. I gestured to the seat across from Shigaraki. "We've got big plans, and your unique skills could be a real asset," Shigaraki said, cutting to the chase. "From what we've heard you've always had a knack for turning your dreams into strength. That's something we could use."
Kiamari sat down, his posture relaxed, but his eyes were sharp, always thinking ahead. "You're aware of what we're after?" I asked, "I'm not just looking to be a cog in the machine." Before I could respond, Shigaraki leaned forward, his voice low and gravelly.

"We don't deal in cogs, Kiamari. We deal in power. If you're with us, you're not just another piece. You're part of something bigger, something that can reshape this world."
Kiamari's eyes flickered with interest, but he didn't let his guard down. "And what exactly is my role in this... reshaping?" Shigaraki's lips curled into a small, almost imperceptible smile. "Your quirk is tied to your dreams, to your state of mind. We can provide you with the environment you need to strengthen that power. In return, you'll help us tear down the society that's held us back."

I could see Kiamari weighing his options, the gears turning in his mind. This was the moment we'd been waiting for-would he join us, or walk away? I knew the stakes, and I could see that he did too. After a moment, Kiamari nodded, his decision made with a small smile. "I'm in," he said, his voice firm. "Show me what you have in mind." Shigaraki's smile widened, a rare expression of satisfaction. "Welcome to the League," he said, leaning back in his chair. "We have much to discuss."
