Burn

"She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell." ~ Nikita Gill

Three days had passed since the newscast of the pro heroes essentially declaring war on you had been broadcasted, and you had ended up stuck in the new League of Villains run down hideout. Magne, Twice, Mr. Compress, Kurogiri, Toga, and Spinner had all been sent to recruit new members.

Dabi was originally supposed to be part of that group, but being as stubborn as he is, he basically told Shigaraki to fuck off. You should have figured he would have reacted that way, considering the very real threat looming over you like a storm cloud.

Today, you would be meeting up with the rest of the league at some warehouse Shigaraki knows about, the reason for this meeting was thanks to Twice. He had called Shigaraki, and mentioned something about a possible new recruit, naturally the boss had set the location, and the three of you are finally arriving to the dark building.

"Hey Shigaraki, you realize my quirk needs electricity to work right? This place is completely dark, I'm powerless here."

The male in question looks over his shoulder as you and Dabi follow him into the building, the words that leave his mouth surprise you.

"Yes I know, but you've done enough lately. I need you in your best condition if we are going to take down the heroes."

He almost sounds like he cares in his own twisted way, but you were not about to argue the topic, you know you'll be needed for much bigger things. Entering the warehouse your eyes land on Toga, Magne, and Mr. Compress. The others must still be looking for recruits, Twice's voice rings out from outside along with another male voice you're not familiar with.

The warehouse door opens revealing Twice, and a man in a green jacket with a hood that's lined with purple fur, the thing that stands out the most about him though is the large maroon and gold bird mask covering the lower half of his face. Dabi snickers at the man's over the top fashion sense, which results in you elbowing him in the side.

Dabi smirks down at you, and slings his arm over your shoulder, pulling you up against his left side. Shaking your head at his antics, you eye the stranger suspiciously, the aura he gives off is unsettling, Shigaraki is the first to break the growing tension.

"Looks like you brought us a pretty big catch, huh Twice?"

The masked man scoffs at Shigaraki's words, almost as if he's offended by not being given enough credit for something. Magne notices this reaction, and questions Shigaraki about the importance of the man.

"Is this guy famous or something?"

"My master showed me his picture once, he's Yakuza, the young head of the Shie Hassaikai."

That's why he's so unnerving, he's a gangster, and no doubt a dangerous one. All of your attention remains on him, you couldn't give a damn about what is being discussed, this man is in front of you and you're completely powerless.

"Sorry mafia boy, but we didn't come here to serve under anyone! The other day I met up with a friend of mine she's shy and kind of timid but, she's still my friend, knowing who I am, and what I do. I'm here because I want to live free! We get to decide where we belong."

In a swift motion, Magne unveils her weapon and charges the man, activating her quirk she renders him unable to move. As fast as everything happens, it suddenly stops when Magne freezes in place, small bumps appear on her skin before a massive spray of blood shoots into the air.

Your eyes widen as you watch her lower half collapse to the floor, shoving Dabi away from you, you stalk towards the man responsible. Before you get to reach him, Shigaraki yelling for Mr. Compress to wait, and the man himself barreling past you in an attempt to capture the masked man stops you in place.

A sloshing sound is heard followed by a pained scream, and blood spraying across your face. You swiftly grab Mr. Compress, and drag him towards Dabi as Shigaraki charges the man, only for him to call one of his goons to jump in and turn to dust the moment Shigaraki touches him.

The next thing you hear is the sound of a wall being broken down, revealing others wearing the same masks, shock courses through you as you remove your shirt and wrap it tightly around what's left of Compress's arm. You pull the wounded man as close to you as possible, hot tears rain down your cheeks at the events that just transpired.

Someone you considered to be family just died violently in front of you, while another person you care for just lost an arm to the same man, and you couldn't do anything except watch. Gently moving Compress to the floor you stand up, and lock eyes with the bastard responsible for all of this, the arrogance in his golden eyes would be enough to have him dead on the ground if this was any other setting.

"Shigaraki, he needs to die right now."

"No, let them leave."

Shocked, you whip around to face your boss, he's just going to let them leave after everything he just did? Anger flairs up inside of you as you grip Shigaraki's shirt with both hands, the determined look in his eyes catches you off guard.

"Fine, but if I see him again I don't give a shit where, he's dead on the spot."

Scarred arms wrap around your waist as you release your grip on Shigaraki, pulling your head into an equally scarred chest, Dabi drapes his jacket over your bare shoulders. The deep rumble of his voice calms you down ever so slightly, wrapping your own arms around him, you squeeze tightly.

You're never going to forget about what happened here tonight, no matter what it takes, that monster will burn by your hands for what he's done.
