UA Traitor (Denki. It's Denki)

Part 7

-Denki POV-

This kind of sucks. I mean, it's nice to be home, but I blew my cover, and now I'm sitting on the couch in the bar, watching a reporter interview UA students about me, the traitor. A picture of me is showed up in the corner, grinning at the camera. My eyes shift from the picture of Fake Me to the student that is talking.

It's Deku. "I guess that I knew there was a traitor since the training camp," he said shakily, "but I never would have suspected him- he was just so..."

He's gonna say it. He's going to say it was because I seemed to dumb. I really don't need to hear this right now.

"...nice."

Eh? 

I stared at the TV as he continued. "He was always there, he was like everybody's friend." It looked like he was going to cry. Good lord, please don't start crying.

The reporter switched students, beginning to interviewing Sero. I groan and sink into the couch. I don't miss them. They were all hero fakes- and none of them were ever my real friends, but why one earth did they all have to be so gOsH dArN... welcoming? Accepting? Tolerable? Nice? Determined?  Plus Ultra? I used to hate that stupid slogan. I still  hate that stupid slogan. It promises something that I can never have.

I grumble loudly and kick my legs like a little kid, trying to squash the thoughts to a mental box in my brain. As usual, it isn't very effective. 

"Missing your old classmates?" A voice asks asks softly from behind me. I jump, thinking someone had just read my mind.

 Dabi hops over the back of the couch, landing on his butt next to me. "So," he continues, scratching out, "you want to talk about it?"

"What would you know?" I ask.

"You'd be surprised," Dabi laughs a little bit. 

I wait for further explanation, but none is offered. 

"Sooo," I mutter, avoiding the conversation, "why are you up?"

He shrugged noncommittally. "Twice is in the room next to mine..."

"Ah," I chuckle, "say no more."

"Mhm. Why are you up?"

"The brainwaves aren't shutting down," I answer, having no idea how else to explain it. 

Dabi's head tilts to the side, but his eyes never leave the interview on the TV. "That's both the most confusing explanation, but also makes sense."

"What can I say, I'm very wise."

He snorts, and nothing more is said between us as we watch the rest of the interview. Dabi falls asleep next to me near the end of the program, but I must have been sitting there all night.

---Next Day (Denki POV)---

Most of the League was gathered around the main area. Kurogiri cleans glasses behind the bar, Shigaraki sits hunched over the counter with Dabi, Toga slurps blood through a straw while she bounces on the couch, Twice strikes a pose in the corner of the room and simultaneously tosses treats to a Nomu, Mr.Compress preforms card tricks for Spinner on the floor, and I hang upside down from the edge of the bar's counter, sipping a juice box.  

Shigaraki clears his throat, and most of us looked at him. Dabi was staring at the countertop and Mr.Compress was currently trying to keep the Nomu from eating his cards.

"As you all know," Shigaraki rasped, "Denki is no longer positioned undercover in UA."

"Wait he's not?" Twice cried, then contradicted himself, "Of course he isn't! Cover BLOWN!"

"As I was saying," Tomura continued, "we no longer have a mole in UA. Denki-"

"Yeah?" I answer cheekily.

He grumbles slightly before continuing. "Do you have any more information that we can use to move forward?"

I hoist myself up from my hanging position, and pull a flashdrive from my boot. "This should be the flash drive containing the copy of the school's blueprints, along with the files on the security detail and lockdown procedures/measurements, as well as the access info we'll need to hack into 'em. It's also got several dozen cat videos I uploaded from Mr. Aizawa's files."

"Good," Shigaraki says, plucking the flash drive from my hands, "but how did you keep ahold of this while you were imprisoned? And why the cat videos?"

"First, cat videos are always essential," I answer, "and two, I really don't think you wanna know."

Toga giggles and Shigaraki drops the flash drive like it's turned red hot. 

"Anyway," Tomura mutters, wiping his hand on his jeans, "we will be planning an attack, so we can strike the hero's society while they're still licking their wounds."

"Sounds like a plan, Stan," Twice says, shooting a pair of finger guns. "Who's Stan? I'm Twice. Aren't I?"

Dabi snores. He's fallen asleep and is drooling on the bar. Shigaraki wacks him on the back of the head, and Dabi squeaks indignantly. "I'm up! Jesus."

"Did you hear any of that?" Shigaraki inquires.

"Yeah, yeah," Dabi groans, "files, cat videos, flash drive up Denki's-"

"Don't," Kurogiri says pointing a smokey finger at Dabi. "We don't use those words in here."

"Plus, that is NOT how I held onto the-"

"Everyone quiet down," Kurogiri says, and silence falls. "I made churros," Kurogiri continues, "but we're saving them for the mission planning tomorrow, and I know exactly how many there are: three dozen, so don't go stealing any in the middle of the night. I'm looking at you, Twice. You too, Dabi, Denki."

"Churros!" Toga cheers, bouncing around on the couch, then flopping down. "Am I allowed to dip them in the blood of my enemies?"

Kurogiri sighs. "Yes, but you need to bring it yourself if you want it."

Toga whoops and chugs down the rest of the blood she's drinking. I'm pretty sure it used to be the pizza guy. He had a family.

"Well," Shigaraki raspes, "that's it. Meeting over. Go, like, mingle or go kill something."

I do a backflip off the counter and jog out of the bar. I didn't really feel like going hunting with Toga or committing arson with Dabi, and it was either that or watching Compress do card tricks for the next few hours. Plus, I had a attack to mentally prepare for. I hadn't seen any of my former classmates in several weeks, (when the Bakusquad came to visit me in the prison), and I was nervous to say the least.
