"It's You"; DabiHawks

Chapter 39; Offers Made In Tension

*Hawks POV*

I kept walking around the room looking for something to get me out. The doorway was blocked with something bolted to the wall or something. However, because I was tied down, I have a feeling that it was to keep whoever has gotten inside out of this room, not keeping me in.

There wasn't any sort of window either, which had to be a fire hazard or something. I had gotten the bag thing off my wings, so I had streched them out slightly. In my hand, I had one of the heavy bishop pieces, which I was fiddling with as I examined every nook and cranny of this room.

That was, until I heard the wall slide back out of place. I flattened myself against the wall with the bishop in my hand. As soon as the intruder got into view, I swung the bishop at them hard, getting them in the forehead. They crumpled to the floor and I realized who it was and brought the piece back above my head ready to strike again if needed.

"Goddamn it!" Tenko whispered, holding one hand to his forehead, blood slowly dripping down his face. He looked back up at me, but didn't make a move to get up.

"Get up." I said, not moving from my position. Neither did he.

"No, I'd rather just stay down here, thanks." He wheezed, closing one eye as blood started to drip onto his face. Slowly, he sat up and somehow moved the thing back into place effortlessly. "I need to say something before this."

"Really?" I scoffed. "And why should I hear you out?"

"Because, if you do, we can all get out of this predicament without a fight. I wanted to ask you after you opened back up a little bit more, but now will have to do." He said, hand still clamped tightly to his forehead, pinky lifted slightly.

"Go on." I said, slowly bringing the chess piece back down and looking at him.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked, focusing one red eye on my face. I nodded.

"Yeah, you're Tenko."

"No, do you know how I know Dabi?" I thought about it for a minute before shaking my head slowly. He pulled his hand away from his forehead showing the pretty nasty gash that I had made with the bishop. He was holding both arms up, staring at me with a smile.

"I," he started, his smile widening slightly, "am Tomura Shigaraki, leader of the League of Villains." I could feel my eyes widen against my will as he spoke. The bishop had dropped from my hands and clanked quietly on the wooden floor.

*Dabi POV*

I could hear things. Footsteps, whispers. But those were from outside the thin walls of this warehouse. I could hear Twice jiggle the door knob loudly and in response looked over my shoulder at the door.

"Yo Dabi, open up!" He yelled through the door. I walked over to the door and whispered through it.

"Shut up, they'll hear you." I didn't know if he heard what I said or not, but didn't really care right now. I had a one track mind right now. If I didn't get to Keigo, what would that crusty ass bitch do to him?

It just didn't make any sense. If his whole plan was to get rid of Hawks because he's my soulmate, why would he tell me to make up with him? Why wouldn't he just tell me to "straighten" up and forget about him? Why would he do that?

I heard something scratch on the ground and spun to look that way. There was no one. I decided to investigate, leaving the three who had come along outside. I didn't need them in my way.

There were so many sounds going off in what was supposedly a run down warehouse. It was really big for a ware house, which at this point in time was just annoying. Sure, if you want to hide something, it's easy. But it's not fun when the thing that's hidden within these walls is one of the only people you care about.

I heard something in one of the rooms beside me. It was mostly empty, but I checked anyway. Every single wall was checked for one of those weird sliding things before I was somewhat satisfied and left the room.

Suddenly, without any sounds in warning, a wall appeared infront of me. I fell back onto the floor in an attempt to not run into the wall. I heard a high pitched giggle that I could easily identify as Toga from the other side and rolled my eyes. The wall dissapered as if it was never there to begin with, revealing Toga laughing maniacly now while leaning on Aruna who had an amused look on her face.

"That was awesome!" Toga giggled, bouncing slightly like a child. I stood up and glared at Aruna.

"How'd you two get in here?"

"Same way you did silly. Twice is outside with Akari, this is a clone." She said, gesturing to the girl beside her.

"Too much of a coward to face off herself?" I smirked slightly, heading down the hall a bit more.

"Not in the slightest. I was made aware of the fact that I am far more likely to be killed by Shigaraki than you two. Toga and Twice wouldn't let me." The clone spoke with just the same amount of bitchyness as normal. I didn't pay it much attention though, because I had found a room with a mattress sitting on the floor.

Most of the other rooms had boxes stacked against the walls, but this one had them almost completely gone. The few boxes that were there were either opened or used as some sort of makeshift table. Papers were scattered around, but none of them had more than a few words on them. Nothing helpful.

I felt a surge of anger flood through me. I had checked through most of these rooms, but still couldn't find him.

"Ooooo, Dabi look!" Toga said with a huge smile pointing at the wall across from her. It looked just like the rest of the walls, except this one had a tiny hole in it, just big enough to fit a finger. A sliding wall.

*Hawks POV*

I had been in contact with the leader of the League of Villains? I had considered him some sort of friend? I felt these thoughts swim through my head and it took a lot of strength to pay attention to his words.

"I wanted to give you an offer. That's why I brought you here. An offer that would keep you safe from us." Tenko or Shigaraki or whatever said. I still didn't move as he put his hand back on his forehead to try and help stop the bleeding.

"I've been thinking about it ever sense I started texting you. The original plan was to kill you, but you aren't like that. You're not like all those other corrupt 'heros.' I personally don't want you to die anymore."

As he said his offer, I felt my heart rate quicken extremely.

"I want you as a member of the League."
