Shigaraki knew today was an off day.

He had felt it when he first woke up; it's strange; normally, it's Dabi who has off days.

Today, though, was any normal day.

Shigaraki is seated at the bar, talking with Kurogiri, who was making apple juice for Toga.

Dabi's playing video games with Twice, and Toga bounces up and down while watching.

"Kill 'em, Dabi!" She cheers.

Something was off.

"Do you feel that, too, Kurogiri?" Shigaraki randomly asks the Nomu.

Kurogiri frowns.

"I'm not sure what you mean. If you are feeling off, maybe Dabi can help you? He usually knows what that's all about."

Shigaraki nods, turning his head to see Dabi.

The ashtray appeared the same, expression as flat as always.

Right before Shigaraki can speak, however, a loud thump echoes throughout the bar.

"Do you hear that?" Toga asks, watching the wine bottles shaking on the shelves.

Dabi nods, quickly turning off the Xbox. He stands, swaying closer towards Toga.

Shigaraki went into action; he knew something was off today; he knew it! 

"Toga, take Twice into the other room, Kurogiri, you head with them. If it's pros, their main goal is to capture Dabi and me. I don't want you three to be put at risk," Shigaraki commands softly.

Toga takes her knife, along with Twice's hand, and runs into the hallway connecting the bedrooms to the bar. Dabi watches them leave, worry lacing his face.

"Please stay safe, Shigaraki Tomura. You too, Dabi," Kurogiri wishes before he follows the high schooler. Shigaraki nods, turning to Dabi whence Kurogiri leaves. 

"What if it's not pro's?" Dabi asks, standing straight.

Shigaraki shrugs, placing his father on his face.

The door suddenly bursts open, ripping the whole wall with it, burning fire sweeping through.

"Shit," Dabi curses, getting ready to hit with a counter-attack.

Endeavor walks through the flames, some sidekicks behind him as well.

"Villains. Where are the other three?" Endeavor impatiently asks, crossing his arms.

Shigaraki peeks a look to Dabi, who appears scared shitless, but excited.

"They're not here. Only us, Endeavor," Dabi teases, flames starting to admit from his body.

Endeavor huffs.

Shigaraki sighs, his guard up as well.

"You will tell me where they are. I want to make this as easy as it can be, but you fighting will make it difficult," Endeavor warns.

Shigaraki cracks his neck.

"Dabi already told you. Toga, Twice, and Kurogiri aren't here."

Endeavor's eyes roll. 

"Seach the place; I'll deal with these two." 

"But Mr. Endeavor, sir-." 

Endeavor flicks his hand, forcing the sidekick next to him to topple forward.

"O-oh kay, sorry, sir!" 

How the fuck do these people not quit the agency?

"Treating your co-workers like your kids now, are we?" Dabi scoffs, "That isn't any way to run a business." 

Endeavor sets out an attack, fire coming straight for Dabi. 

The villain smirks, tilting his head. 

"Did you forget my quirk, old man? Or has it been too long?" Dabi stays put, not an added scratch on his body as Shigaraki smirks.

Endeavor shoots a quick look of confusion while Dabi sends a flaming attack.

Distraction.

Shigaraki quickly darts behind Endeavor, ripping his glove off and rushing to touch the man's neck, when a heavy hand throws him halfway across the room.

He hears Endeavor laugh and Dabi panting. 

Talk about abuse. It feels to Shigaraki as if Endeavor had beaten humans before.

Shigaraki wobbles as he tries stands, pausing when he sees blue flames light the air. 

Dabi rushes towards Endeavor, not a fear in his eye anymore. 

"You'll pay for what you did to him." 

"To who, villain? I've taken many to jail before, beat up a few more," Endeavor laughs. 

Dabi jumps, kicking the hero in his stomach. 

Endeavor grabs his wrist; twisting is until Dabi makes a small whine, then throws the villain into Shigaraki, who's now a bowling pin. 

Dabi groans, muscles aching already.

"Fuck, why are you so light, ashtray?" Shigaraki asks, hand on his head.

"Fuck if I know." 

Endeavor continued to beat and beat and beat the two villains until Shigaraki had no more hands (except his own) on him, and Dabi saw fuzzy black dots everywhere.

"I don't even have a scratch on me. Talk about the most powerful villains, ha! What a sick joke," Endeavor taunted. He waved his hands in the air, fire dancing along. 

Shigaraki was too exhausted to stand, his head lay flat on the concrete, but Dabi longed for another hit on the no.1 hero. 

He shapes his hands, then shoots out a blue flame. He stumbles back a bit, trying to regain balance. 

Shigaraki hopes Kurogiri sent Twice and Toga far away.

Endeavor finally is pulled back, but not by Dabi's quirk.  

Dabi laughs, relieved. 

Thick material is wrapped around the heroes' torso. 

Eraserhead. 

Aizawa runs into view, eyes have gone wide as he sees the situation. 

"Shit," he curses. 

More heroes run into the bar, some holding Endeavor back, other scouting the area. 

Shigaraki laughs to himself; the only option in this situation is a cell waiting in jail. 

He watches as Dabi falls, eyes fluttering shut as he silently curses to himself. 

Aizawa catches the villain, slowly bringing him to the ground. 

"P-please don't p-p-ah-put him in jail," Shigaraki pleads.

Aizawa nods. 

A pro runs over to him before Shigaraki closes eyes.

He's officially seen someone worthy of their title as a hero.

Finally.

He hopes Dabi can find the others and live.

Live.
