Dabi POV

"So, if you had to choose to switch quirks with any one in our class, who would it be?" Mirko asks.

"Hmm, everyone in our class has good quirks," I say in reply "but I would pick Shun's quirk. It's almost too powerful if you know what you're doing"

"I would pick Shimura's" She sighs. Oh, my god. I am in complete shock.

"Wow... shocker" I drawl as the words drip in sarcasm.

She rolls her eyes "Not because of that, it's just a scary, catastrophic, cool-ass power".

I hum "Hmm, I don't think he likes his power much though.". It's true, all you have to do is to look more closely.

"How so?" she asks curiously.

"Well, remember when he decayed his water bottle?" I ask then explain turning a bit of my attention towards her "He crouched on the ground and just kept staring at it till I snapped him out of his trance. Signs of a panic attack if I ever had one". Which I did.

Plus, specimens are always to be monitored.

She nods "Hmm, come to think of it, decay would be a pain in the ass. Decaying everything you touch, like food, supplies, utensils, personal items...". I nod in reply.

There were a few seconds of silence until she tells me "This is the most fun I've had since getting into UA". Yeah, this whole thing was just on crack at every second.

I hum back as a response and she carries on "I still can believe that you lied to a policeman and got away" chuckling.

"Yeah... I can't believe he thought we were dating" I joke. That guy was probably not as dumb as we're making him out to be, as well as being suspicious before I lied about how I got my scars, but we still got away scot-free.

"Ha! As if!!" She scoffs. Wow... jeez...

"I thought we were close" I say playfully.

It takes her a few seconds to realise before quickly takes back it "Oh! Not that you're bad or anything, it's just that I feel like we can't get together because we're so close! Like siblings.".

Siblings, huh. That's a bit... ironic really. Is Mirko like a sister? Hmm, if so then I guess I have to fulfil my duties to repay the times I was a deadbeat, motherf*cker-

"Are you offended? Because I didn't mean it in a rude way" she says leaning forward to my face.

"Well, you're the one who basically said I'm your brother" I say glancing back at her quick. I swear if my eyes aren't on the road for 10 seconds this girl will attack me.

She smiles "Well it's true! For the scariest looking guy in our class, you are the most brotherly".

"Was this agreed on or something?" I joke but she replies "Yup, everyone in our class finds you caring for us most". Oh, well that can't be right. No way!

I look at her land roll my eyes back to the road "Nah...".

"Don't be modest" she scoffs happily "You have a different method for caring for everyone".

"Like?"

"Shimura and Kitsune"

"Everyone hates Kitsune and loves Shimura. You defend him as well. We actually make a good team on that". I joke again and she nods her head "Yeah, but still".

She then lists off "What about Sagi-shi?". But that's different.

"I didn't want Keigo to get scammed" I claim in defence. I don't see him as a little brother personally.

"What a brother would do" she mutters. Friends do it too...

I roll my eyes but then she asks "Can Shimura kill people?". Actually, I always assumed he could but then again, it could only be for non-living objects.

I crack another "Mentally or Physically? Because is it strange that I think both".

She laughs and says "No, as in quirk. Do you think it works on humans?".

"Well, there's argument A, that Shimura isn't dead because his quirk isn't effective on humans, and argument B, where Shimura wears gloves not to kill others." I explain "However they are both arguable that A, it could only be for his skin, and B, that him wearing gloves might be just him making his own life easier".

"Huh" she sighs "By the way, do you have anyone who your eyes are on?. The smirk she gave me was pure smug. The smuggest smug smirk.

I roll my eyes "No, not yet".

She slams herself to her seat and groans "Well that ain't a problem for you. Girls whisper about your cool looks all the time". Oh. Well, umm, I haven't noticed.

"But you said I was the scariest looking in the class" I respond, saving myself the fluster.

She just replies "Well, girls are into that, and you'll get a whole lot of them". I do not like the way this conversation is turning.

I mutter under my breath "Girls aren't what I'm looking for...".

I then see out of the corner of my eye Mirko's eyes widen as she bites both of her lips. Oh sh*t, was that out loud? Well ain't this just awkward.

I look up ahead in the embarrassment. Finally, there it is. UA. Eraser is gonna rip the sh*t out of us. Correction: out of me. Ugh, oh well, my actions do tend to have consequences for some reason.

I stop outside the forest and park the car in a teacher place. They'll move the car anyway. Me and Mirko both get out the car.

I open the doors and pull her out of the way as the kidnappers roll out of the van, splatting on the floor. They groan and I pick them up as we walk through the forest.

"Odds on Eraser ripping our limbs, eyes and probably ears out?" I smirk to Mirko by the thought of it.

She smirks back "Odds on our classmates squeezing us to death with questions and hugs?".

"100%" we both say in unison.

Shimura POV

Well, this isn't how anyone of us expected to be spending our day.

I itch my neck hard as I stare at the window in space, everyone else chatting and whispering. The teachers, my Dad and the detective were all talking to one another quietly about the whole thing.

Damnit Dabi, you're sometimes too difficult. I mean, sure you got kidnapped, but like couldn't you just... Argh! I don't know! I can't say be normal and panic because if you did, you and Mirko would be god knows where!

A friendly voice comes up behind me and lightly tugs on my shoulders. I turn around and see Kiego, smiling warmly "Are you okay?".

I smile back "Yup, just re-thinking everything". I glance out the window and sigh "I notice you were trembling throughout the whole assembly".

He nods "Yeah, I don't know what I would do without Rumi. Dabi too.".

"Same..." I say longingly, "I already miss them both". It feels like we've been waiting for them for years now. All of us in the same place for a reunion.

I look back to the window and ask "Do you think they were scared? Like at all?".

"Naahh" Keigo chuckles softly "Knowing them, this was all planned".

We both laugh and he puts his hand around my shoulder "How does Dabi know how to drive though?! Like what?!".

I joke "Dabi probably knows how to hack into government files for all I know!".

"Or something else like doing a whole ass brain surgery by himself!!!" He carries it on.

Our laughter gets louder and more genuine. No way those guys are dead or something. Nothing can stop them!

We both slowly stop and I take another peek at the window. Wait, is that them? I spotted them! They were wearing their casual clothes and were holding onto two men in black, tied in ropes hopping with them.

I point them out to Keigo and his eyes lit up. We both then instinctively run out the gym, yelling together before we got to the door "They're here!!!" alerting everyone else.

We both run to the UA entrance, catching each other's dust. We go around buildings and pass training grounds, scaring the cleaners but what the heck?

Finally, they were in our vision and stop seeing us. They then both push the dudes behind them, causing them to fumble over and put their arms out.

Keigo yells their names a few seconds away from both of us bashing into them. Woah-oof. I think I tripped on someone.

We were all on the floor and me, Mirko and Hawks start laughing and rejoicing.

Dabi then groans "Get off, you two".

We do and we help them get up. The two brush themselves off and then Mirko hugs us both happily "It was an experience, before you ask".

I chuckle, hugging her back.

"You two are crazy..." Hawks says after she lets us go.

But before anyone could say anything else, something pierces through the space between us and goes ahead of us like a bullet. It was Aizawa Sensei's scarf. We look around and see where it hit. Turns out, the kidnappers were trying to make a grand escape by hopping, foiled by Sensei's scarf and were tied up while already being tied up. You have to feel some sort of empathy for the guys, despite them kidnapping my good friends.

The scarf pulls them over and they just give up. We all turn around to see Sensei, with his goggles on, with his scaf in hand. That's so cool.

Suddenly, behind him our full class emerges and rushes to the two, with happiness and cheers. We all jump around them, asking if they were okay and stuff.

Kanji yells "You two are badass!".

Miran agrees "Yeah! With the whole kidnapping the kidnappers thing!!".

We all laugh but were cut short after Sensei's infamous coughs happen to interrupt it all. Oh sh*t, they are in the deep end now.

We clear through as he walks over angrily to them, yelling "You two are in serious trouble". This is the most emotional day I've seen for him. He usually just duly lectures us when something happens and make us feel bad.

He carries on "When you get kidnapped, if you didn't know, you escape to somewhere far away, report it to heroes or police or even hide! Not what you two did".

Dabi shrugs and rolls his eyes as Mirko bites both her lips. Aizawa then put his hands to his heads "Could all the students please leave, we need to talk to these two.". Aww, but they just got here.

Everyone grumbles under their breath but before we could be shooed out, Dabi says "Mirko too, I'll just tell you what happened".

Nezu chimes in "We need both of your stories, I'm afraid".

He sighs irritatedly and starts listing off on his fingers "I was awake more than she was, we both experienced the same thing, I know what's going on-"

"You told me to blame it on society!" Mirko says turning her head to Dabi. I don't actually know whether those are wise words or not.

"Cause it's easy to blame them!" Dabi explains, pointing at the heroes. Oh sh*t... he turns to them and carries on "She also has a family that are worried about her.".

Mirko's eyes widen. I think she forgot about them, and Aizawa sighs "Alright, Mirko can go home too".

Dabi POV

I wave everyone off but Eraser drags me by the arm into the building by one arm and the kidnappers by the other. There's surely a limit to how harsh he can be to students, right?

He pulls me into the main hall, with everyone else behind us. He finally lets me go and says, a bit sourly "I'm mad, but that's not the point now. What happened?". He also gets his scarf off the kidnappers.

"Well," I sigh "Me and Mirko went out for McDonald's and afterwards we saw an old woman being pulled into an alley screaming. So we checked it out but got knocked out instead".

"Ok..." he says.

The detective takes notes as I carry on "I woke up first and we were in a truck, that I parked in the teachers' area, and untied myself because these stupid guys don't know how to f*cking tie a knot, and THEY decided to get some food.". I pause for comments.

Mic turns to the kidnappers and judges them loudly "What type of kidnappers are you? I mean, I have no experience in the business but I'm sure anyone else would have done it correctly!". Exactly Mic, so true.

I continue "Then Mirko woke up so we devised a plan to knock out the kidnappers. When we did I tied them up and then stole everything from their pockets". I stuff my hands in my own pockets and toss everything out on to the floor, making clanking noises.

Nezu then tells "I know there's something else that you missed out". Hmm? What was it... I wonder...

"Oh yeah!.." I finally click. I point to the detective angrily and scream "What f*cking files did you f*cking steal from AFO!?!?".

Yeah, I'm acting, so what? If I shift the blame on people I would truly suspect, I'm clearly myself out of the picture. So I have to exaggerate stuff normal people would, even if I wouldn't do it myself. I would've asked him in a more calmer way if I was actually confused.

He jumps at the sudden loudness but it turns to a horrified expression-along with Aizawa, Nezu and All might.

"Who's AFO?" Vlad King asks confused. Ooo, well, I ain't explaining sh*t to anyone.

Nezu puts his hand up "We'll explain later, but can you all step out for a few minutes, please?" requesting them to leave.

Before they could deny or hesitate, Eraser's scarf lassos them together and pushes them out the door with Midnight screaming "Alright, alright! No need to be all pushy!!".

I laugh but stop as the four look at me. All might asks "How do you know it's AFO who planned this?".

"It's pretty obvious" I respond "and these two were talking about it a lot during the ride.".

"Hmm, so you're a target?" All might says with uncertainty, "If so then-"

"Nope!" I interrupt with my finger "Not at all, turns out it's a coincidence that I got into this mess.".

"Good" he sighs.

"I don't know what files they're talking about..." the detective says, fist over his mouth "I checked the whole department for any hints.". I know, my friend, it's because they're happily sitting in my room on my table.

"Well, thank you Dabi for your cooperation. We'll hope to see you back here when school starts" Nezu says giving a polite smile.

I just clocked. I'm lying to the law and I'm obtaining evidence to a very important case/issue that might result in the end of the Japanese government and start a dystopian society where criminals can run free if it isn't taken care of properly. Oh well, I'll show them when the time comes.
