When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

Chapter 5: It's a never ending Story

The last days were a little weird and chaotic for Class 1A. A little girl named Eri was rescued from the bad guys recently and she was now staying with them for protection. Eraserhead was the one responsible for her because he is the only one who can stop her quirk from getting out of control until she learned how to use it properly.

She had been staying at the dorms for a while now and slowly started to warm up to everyone when there was an incident. Eri was at the park with Aizawa, Midoriya and Togata when there was a Villain attack and the little girl was gone suddenly. They searched everywhere for her but she was gone.

They went back to U.A. at one point. Aizawa had a worried frown on his face while the students with him glanced at the floor in frustration. They had lost her again and they wouldn't forgive themselves if something happened to her.

Aizawa informed the staff at U.A. so they could keep an eye out for any villains that could have taken her. They wanted to investigate the League of Villains mostly.

Eri was scared. A big scary looking person with a mask and a weird girl with messy buns had taken her with them and locked her in a dark room with only an old, worn looking bed in it. She could hear them talking about her behind the door. They wanted her because of her quirk. Aizawa had warned her about that before after she was rescued. She let out a quiet sniffle, wanting to go back to the dorms were everyone was nice to her.

"Well someone has to watch her. What if she tries to escape? Kids are annoying like that" Shigaraki stated irritated. "Tomorrow we'll start searching for ways to recreate that quirk erasing bullet thing but it will take some time so someone has to watch her." "Well not me. I'm no babysitter." Twice declared immediately. "Toga's just gonna try making her bleed I'll do it." Dabi spoke up, his tone flat. "Wonderful. Then let's move it we have a lot of work tomorrow." Shigaraki turned to leave.

Once Dabi was alone and sure everyone had gone to sleep he opened the door of the room Eri was in and found her sitting on the floor shaking slightly. The fire quirk user sighed slightly, shrugging off his coat and putting it around the girl. This caused her to jump and scramble away in panic.

Dabi crouched down. "Relax kid, I know I'm not the prettiest face around but you'll have to bear with me for now. Listen, I'm getting you out of here ok? So you have to be very quiet." He stretched a hand out to her.

Eri looked at him cautiously. "Why are you helping me? Maybe... you just want to hurt me too..." "Trust me, hurting kids is a line I won't ever cross. Because I know what it feels like. Let's just say my father wasn't a very good person. So I won't hurt you I promise." "Your Daddy hurt you too?" The little girl came a little closer. This took the Villain slightly off guard. "Well I... yeah you could say that."

Nothing could have prepared him for what the girl asked him next, no one had asked him that in a long time. "Are you ok?" Eri actually looked a little worried for him now. He just stared at her in utter shock before he caught himself again. "No... I guess I'm not really ok but it's better than before. He won't hurt me anymore. But now we have to make sure that at least you get to be ok right?" He offered her his hand again. She gave him a very small smile and nodded her little head before finally taking it. "Ok"

Dabi took her out of the hideout and they walked down the empty street. It was dark, the only light guiding their way came from the street lamps all around. "So your father wasn't that great either huh?" Dabi finally broke the silence. Eri shook her head. "No... maybe because he wasn't my real daddy but I don't know what my real daddy even looks like..." "You don't need them. Just find your own way kid." "Ok. But my name is not kid. It's Eri." She told him looked at him slightly confused as to why he would call her something else. The villain chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind." "What's your name?" //If I tell her I'm Dabi there's a chance she might have heard of me and get scared// He thought about his options for a moment before finally muttering out "I'm Touya, it's nice to meet you Eri." The girl smiled her faint smile again and they continued down the street.
