Villains Rise

I stood over my latest victim, his blood pouring over the rain battered concrete. I had killed Minoru Mineta. Proud of what I had done, I walked away. Solo is my way of life.

Thinking about my next target, I was confronted by a shadowy figure. It looked like a girls sillouhette. I looked a bit closer and realized my confronter was Himiko Toga. The girl had had a crush on me ever since I became the number one villain.

Another familiar figure stepped out behind Toga. “Shiggy,” I exclaimed running towards him in a hug. “Did you forget me, Deku,” another voice asked. I smelled the familiar smell of cigarettes coming from Dabi, I ran out to hug him and he returned it.

Just then, I saw the all too recognizable void of Kurogiris portal. “Sorry guys,” I said, “I’m going solo this time.” There was a pained look on Shigarakis face, I never meant to hurt him. I went up and gave him another hug to let him know I loved him. What a fool I was.

Tomura pulled me into the portal with him, and not long later, Dabi joined us. Then Himiko. I knew they wanted the best for me, but this wasn’t it. I wanted to go solo, so I wouldn’t get caught by the U.A, they didn’t understand that. They never even had the chance to become heroes.

It’s not like I blame them for not understanding, they just don’t know what it’s like to be afraid of being forced to go back. Everyone thought I’d be a great hero, how wrong they were. Kacchan is the reason I’m here right now. As well as my no good father, and sister. I never knew them, they took off as soon as I was born.

Not long after that, we reached the LOV base. Twice and Overhaul were waiting for us. It felt weird to be in the building again, I felt as if I was walking in a memory, and it pained me. Dabi must’ve realized I was in pain, because he put his arm around me and told me I’d be fine.

Seeing Overhaul scared me because I knew I had fought him to save Eri. As we walked past, he scowled at me. In return, I stared into his eyes burning the inside of his body. “Deku,” Shigaraki said, warning me to stop. I did.

As we walked to Dabi and Shiggys room, Kurogiri stopped at the bar so he could bartend. Toga went to hang out with Hero Killer Stain. I pretended I wasn’t there for my own comfort, but inside, all I knew was that I was.

When we reached Dabi and Shiggys room, the first thing I noticed was the decor. The room was covered with Shiggys hands which made me laugh to myself. Along the wall, was a fire place burning with Dabis blue fire. There was a dresser near the back of the room, it had a wooden clock and a box labeled “Anti-Chapstick” I’m guessing it was a box of chapstick from Toga.

There was a white bed pushed against the wall with a nightstand on either side of it. And in the corner was a tall wooden closet.

The first thing Dabi did was grab some clothes from the closet, and leave for the bathroom. Shigaraki stares at the box of chapstick for a split second before yelling: “Himiko!” I laughed out loud knowing how much trouble Toga would be in.

Shigararki then looked at me with a smile on his face. He looked towards my arm and his smile faded away. “I don’t think blood splatters in straight lines Deku,” he said with a far away look on his face. He turned around and went to find Dabi. I knew that I’d be in a bad position if Dabi came in as well, so I ran out the window behind the bed.

I could hear both of them calling out my name, but I didn’t turn around or even look back. I then heard a familiar sound and took off in a run. Not long after that I felt the hand of Kurogiri holding me back.

“Come back,” he said, “Shigaraki and Dabi are getting worried,” “No,” I told him. But little did I know that Kurogiri wasn’t the only one talking.

In just a few seconds, I was completely under the control of Hitoshi Shinsou. I hoped he hadn’t forgotten the sports festival, because I sure hadn’t. With a little bit of One For All, I managed to pry myself out of Shinsous quirk.

I ran as fast as I could away from them. But I was too slow for Kurogiri. He plopped his portal right in my path, and just as he planned, I fell in. I soon found myself back in the LOV parlor and Shinsou was standing in front of me. “Leave me alone,” I said,”I’m going on my own this time.” A smile creeped across his face and I was under his control once more.

I knew that this cycle would just be on repeat, so I gave up and let Shinsou lead me back to Shigaraki and Dabi. After I was in the room, Shinsou let me go and I fell into Shigararkis arms.

Dabi was standing in the corner crying, but immediately looked up when I entered the room. I felt kinda bad for leaving them, but I knew that they would start asking questions. Just like my mother.

Dabi came towards me and hugged me tightly. “You knew that we knew, why’d you run,” he asked. I didn’t answer, I knew that they had more questions. I didn’t want it to be awkward between us, so I tried to avoid the questions they were asking me.

But one of the questions I couldn’t avoid. “Why did you cut yourself,” Shigaraki asked. I pressed my lips together while holding back the answer. I shut my eyes tight and backed away. Shigaraki grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back towards him. He looked at me somehow forcing me to open my eyes. “Why,” he asked again. “I don’t wanna talk about it,” I replied. And back I went under Shinsous control. “Why,” he asked. “I’m not doing anyone any good and I’m always on the run, no one loves me and I shouldn’t deserve love,” I replied against my will. Shigarakis eyes teared up and he looked away, Dabi just stared at me in shock.

Shinsou let me go and I looked at my boyfriends in shock. “Why don’t we just go to sleep,” Shigaraki said. Dabi agreed, but I stayed silent. We silently changed and climbed into the bed. I stayed in the middle while Dabi and Shigaraki lay on either side of me. Shigaraki dozed off quickly, as usual. Dabi wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him, he pet my head and kissed it. “We love you,” he whispered, “Shiggy and I,” I burried my head into his chest and cried. I cried myself to sleep beside him.

I woke up at about 4:58 in the morning. I tried to get up, but Dabi pulled me back down. “Go back to sleep,” he whispered on my neck. “O-ok,” I replied. When I woke back up, both of them were gone and Toga was standing at the doorway staring at me like I was a plate of pancakes. “Hi Deku~” she said. “H-hi,” I said cautiously. “Come on Toga, you’re scaring him,” another voice said, I then noticed that it was Shinsous. “Fine,” Toga replied with a disappointed look on her face. She spun around and walked away.

I made sure no one was there any more, then I started for the window. Before I could escape out of it, a purple hand pulled me back inside. “Don’t try to do that again, or I’m bolting bars to every window in the house,” Kurogiri said to me. I looked down to the ground. “Come on,” he said to me, “let’s go have breakfast.”

I followed him relentlessly to the dinning room and sat down next to Dabi and Shiggy. Dabi put a strawberry in front of my face. “Want a strawberry,” he asked me. “No..” I replied with a far away look. Shiggy looked at me and smiled in hopes of cheering me up. I forced a smile back at him.
