"Knock them out," Shigiraki demanded. He sat by the bar, shot glass in hand as he shook it lightly. The liquid circled as it hit the edge of the glass.

"NUH-UH, I'LL KILL YOU, BASTARDS!" Bakugo let out a yell.

"Now, now, I believe it's better for you to calm down," Shigiraki advised. He stood up, aligning himself face-to-face with the blonde as he raised his hand. "One touch from me, and it's over. I suggest you be careful." Shigiraki snapped his head towards his comrade. "Now Dabi -"

*𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚* *𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚* *𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚*

That was the only warning they received before someone burst into their hideout and everyone upped their guards, drawing their weapons or preparing their quirks.

"Damn, so you want to attack me!?" The black-haired male shrieked as he stepped foot into their hideout. He stood around six feet tall and had shoulder-length black hair that he had in a half-up and half-down style. He wore a black suit with a mask covering his identity.

The mask was a pale white, smooth on the right and cracked on the left. It had a wide-slit smile on the right, leaning towards a toothy shark grin on the left. The eyes were hollowed for his eyes to peak through, yet all you could see was black.

"What type of hospitality is this?" He scoffed, shutting the door behind himself. "You're not supposed to kill a guest as soon as they walk through the door."

"So you only decided to show up now..." Shigiraki hissed as he turned his attention to their visitor.

"I was busy; you know that, Tomura!" He slapped Shigiraki's shoulder, resting his hand upon it.

"You know you could've been useful tonight..." Shigiraki grumbled. "Give me a good reason why I shouldn't turn you to dust."

"Because I'm your only best friend, and secondly, I heard that you left three people behind. You didn't want to go back for your fallen friends, and I didn't want that to happen to me, so..."

"If Shigiraki leaves you, then technically, you weren't friends in the first place?"

"Yes, random blonde chick! But Tomura right here shows his love differently. When he says fend for yourself, it means you're my best friend!" He chimed.

"You're pushing it," Shigiraki warned, flicking his hand shoulder and shoving the man's hand off. "Now why are you here...?"

"To stir up trouble then leave..." He answered slowly.

"Well, hurry up then... I don't have all day. You got five minutes before I kick you out." Shigiraki said which earned him a smile.

"Aww, I knew you loved me!"

"What the hell is going on...? Emiko whispered to Bakugo. They stood quietly as the questionable interaction went on; it was like everyone had completely forgotten about them. But Dabi's piercing eyes that burned into the back of their reminded them that someone was keeping an eye on them.

"Like I care..." He whispered back, figuring he shouldn't shout. But they fell back into silence as the attention turned to them.

"So... Let's start with you!" He pointed at Bakugo, his finger hovering just above the boy's nose. "Hi, my name's Nemesis. What's yours?" He introduced himself, but he received the silent treatment. The blonde scowled, folding his arms and turning his head away. "You're no fun..." Nemesis frowned, his mood dampening as his shoulders lowered. "Well, I see why they want you! You should try not to be so angry all the time, but I guess that's what makes you Katsuki Bakugo!" He smiled, but an immediate frown returned to his face at Bakugo's continued silence. "Guess your parents taught you stranger danger... Hey Dabi, you can knock him out."
