The unknown hero (BNHA)

34

Todoroki visited Deku everyday. Each day Deku got colder and further away. He had to keep reminding himself about what Todoroki had dine, what he Gadsden Winnie own eyes. He still couldn't believe it. It still seemed wrong to him. A far off dream he could barely remember.

One day, it could have been a week after Deku's arrival, maybe two or three? It was hard to keep track. Todoroki came into the room, smiling so widely that Deku couldn't help but want to smile back.

 "They agreed to let you out for a bit! You'll be staying with me, Nine and Touya, don't call him Touya though, the others don't know yet, call him Dabi." The note that Nine left clutter through Deku's mind, "My brother's name is Dabi.", it had read.

 Deku was lead out of the room and down a twisting maze of rooms. He tried to keep track, left, right, right, straight on, second left, third door, left, up the stairs, second door on the right, he could hardly keep track.

Finally they entered a lit up room. "Turn the lights off!" The room went dark and Deku was sat down next to Nine. She smiled at him briefly before turning to Todoroki. "Come on, Shou! Hurry up!"

 Todoroki stuck his tongue at her and sat down in the middle of the two of them. Deku then noticed Touya sat behind them, his eyes watching the screen exitedly. Deku felt himself gag. If a villain was this excited, then what could it be that he was there for?

Nine pressed the remote and the TV started. Deku looked around the room, watching the faces of the three villains in the moving yellow light. He quickly looked back at the screen in surprise as he recognised the opening music to Aladdin.

The villains had released him so they could watch a Disney movie.

Todoroki offered him some popcorn. Deku reluctantly took some, the villains were eating it so it should be okay. Nine stood up as "friend like me" started and began to dance around the room, singing along.

Todoroki threw popcorn at her as Touya sat there laughing. After the song was over Nine collapsed, surrounded with laughter. Todoroki took an unpopped piece of popcorn, beating it up in his left hand. It popped and hit Touya in the face.

Touya picked up a handful, dousing them in blue flames. Nine caught a load in her mouth but the rest landed on Todoroki and Deku. "Stop it!" Nine hissed "I love this bit!"

They just seemed so normal. Like any other group of friends, or even a family, sat down to watch a movie. Deku was finding it hard to remember what was so wrong about them.

He closed his eyes, pictures of Asui's room charging through his head. The blood and the words across the wall. They had done this and clearly they were trying to play mind games with him, trying to make him like them.

Was this what they did to Todoroki, who now sat there, eating popcorn and singing along to "a while new world" with them, the people who should be his enemies.

Deku sneaked a glance at Touya. Maybe he went through a similar thing. Todoroki had describe show nice he was, how kind. Could a person like that he a villain? He then looked at Nine, barely concealed rage boiling up in him.

It was all her fault.
