Chapter 5

When they drop into the hotel room, Harry immediately puts up a silencing charm as the newly named Dabi-san is cursing up a storm. "What the fuck was that?!?" "That, Dabi-san, was called apparation, it's part of my quirk." He looks uncomfortable and say's, "Just call me Dabi, none of that honorific crap. What's your name?" "Fine with me," Harry responds, "and call me Harry."

He helped him onto the bed before placing Teddy into his crib with a few toys, which seems to be the first time he notices him. "Oh shit, you had a kid with you? Ah, excuse my cursing." "It's fine, he's so young, it won't mess with him. So, mind telling me what cut you? So, I can have an idea of if there might have been poison or something on it."

"It was a quirk gun, thankfully it feels like my quirk is coming back, so it seems it was the temporary version." Harry nods and asks, "Did it exit, or is it still in you?" "It exited." Harry hums and goes through his larger trunk of medical stuff.

"Keep talking, I don't want you passing out." Harry could tell he was losing too much blood from the way he was slurring his words. "I don't know what to talk about."

"Why don't you tell me about yourself, do you have any family, friends, significant others?"

"I used to have a family, but I couldn't stay cause my father was an abusive fuck. I would have taken my little brother, I knew he was who Father would turn his attention to next, but I didn't know if I would be able to keep myself alive, much less both of us. I couldn't call the hero's or police, because Father's a hero too. Only in it for the money."

Harry finally has everything he needs and says, "Well you managed to get away, what do you do now?"

"I'm a part of the League of Villains with my Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shiggy and Toga are great. Shiggy runs our part of the league. He seems like a bastard, but he really cares about everyone in the league and is secretly a softy." Harry chuckles and asks, "Is he a tsundere then?"

"No, it's just a defense mechanism. He was abused too. Doesn't let a lot of people close."

"What about Toga then? What is she like?"

"She's crazy. But she's sweet, and when she isn't being a little vampire, she likes to obsess over kids. She loves kids. Wish Shiggy or I could give her one but we're villains. What kind of life is this for a kid?"

"Did you want to be a villain?" Harry asks as he pulls Dabi's shirt up and off him before starting to clean the front wound. "No, I just needed the money. We have rules though. Only fight those that can fight back. We steal, and we fight hero's, but we don't hurt kids. We don't hurt civilians. None of us want to be villains, that's just one of the only options we had. Some of us were homeless, and the league gave us food, money and a roof over our heads. Protection that the open alleyways can't give us."

Harry gives a small warning and pours the muscle and skin regrowth potion on the wound. The skin starts to stitch itself together, and Harry repeats the process on Dabi's back, before giving him a blood replenishing potion. Once everything is done, Harry uses a Scourgify and repairs the tears on the now clean shirt, while waiting for Dabi to recover.

After a while Dabi regained color in his face and sat up slowly. Harry hands him his shirt and says, "You can use the shower before you go. I also have an offer for you and the others who don't want to be villains." Dabi looks slightly suspicious. "You're not going to use any of the information I gave you while delirious against us, are you?"

"No! Consider it Patient-Doctor confidentiality. I have quite a bit of money. Do you think you and the others would like to get out of villainy? I'm not asking you to be spies or anything, just, I plan on buying a large place to live, and I was planning to turn it into a half-house. But, hear me out, what if I got permission to turn it into a kind of villain rehab, with permission from a judge, I could have a way to integrate you back into society without having to go through trials. Or go through trials and just have you 'sentenced' to my program."

Dabi looks at Harry unbelievably, before he seems to think about it. "That sounds ridiculous. However, it might just be strange enough to work. Get the house first. Fix it up. I'll talk to the league and see how many would be interested. Then I'll contact you for a meeting to tell you our decision."

"Just know that I'll be giving you everything you need to survive and live comfortably. Food, clothes, a good place to sleep. You just won't have to steal for it. Or fight. I might have you do classes either someone I hire or myself teach, so you can eventually survive on your own without having to resort to crime. I might also require therapy sessions for some of you."

Dabi grimaces and nods. He stands up and asks where the bathroom is. He goes in and Harry hears the water from the shower running. Harry opens the laptop the hotel provided and starts looking for apartment buildings that could be repurposed or manors for sale. He finds a few candidates and notes down the real estate agencies numbers.

"I need a phone." Harry talks to himself. He looks through the map and finds a technology store. He plans out his next day and hears Dabi stop the shower. He comes out and stares at Harry for a second. "You completely healed the bullet wound."

"Yes, I did."

"Do you think you could heal where my skin is burnt?" He asks, gesturing to his skin grafts.

"Probably, but it would take a while to make the stuff needed for it. It would take about a week to make it from the moment I start. If you want me too, once I have the building bought and in good enough shape to stay in, I'll start making the salve you'll need for it."

Dabi thanks Harry and looks toward Teddy who has been playing with his toys. "What's his name?" "Teddy. He's a month and half old and has his mother's quirk, though it must be stronger since it showed way earlier than hers did." Dabi looks in surprise to Harry and Harry stands, waving his hands around the crib to make sure nothing could happen to him in the few minutes he would be gone.

"Do you know the coordinates to your base, or somewhere close by? If I don't have the coordinates or have seen it before I run the chance of hurting myself and my passengers." Turns out Dabi did know it. I get him to hold onto my arm before turning in place. We arrived in the middle of a bar where a bunch of people were gathered. "Dabi!" a female with messy blonde twin buns runs and seems to want to jump him. Dabi holds his arms out and she tackles him.

A male comes over with a hand on his face and grabs Dabi by the shoulders, seeming to check him over. "Toga, Shigaraki, this is Harry. He found and healed me. Then he was able to bring me back here." Harry waves and says to Dabi, "Hey, I can't leave Teddy alone for long. Do you want me to come back in two weeks to bring the salve and meet up for your answer?" Dabi nods and I salute them and apparate back to my room.
