Walking through those familiar hallways was one of the weirdest things I'd done these last few days-if you're not counting that i basically ran away with fugitives- I'd abadoned this house with the thought, i'd never set foot in it again. Yet i had always kept it in my name, i had someone take care of it once in a while. Spare one room in the house, no one had set foot in there since i had moved away all those years ago. Toya and I arrived at the door with my name carved in a name plate, it was just a plain gold one, no decorations on it, just plain gold.

"Did I ever tell you that my mum never thought I'd become a hero?" I spoke up, not yet opening the door. Toya crossed his arms and shook his head, "Heh, of course I didn't," I scoffed before continuing, "She thought my quirk was too weak or some shit, I don't know." I shrugged, "She and I had a tough relationship and and an even worse one with my father. He abused me, my mother did nothing about it, like she didn't even care, though she did." I grabbed ahold of the doorknob but i didn't open it yet.

"Mum had it tough when my dad had finally left and in that time she would ask me why i was even born and that my quirk and I didn't even a use. She said i was useless and a disgrace."

I opened the door and looked away. I took a small step back to let Toya step inside.

"She did this after my graduation," I explained, "I send her to a mental hospital not long after, she died there."

Dabi stepped further inside and that made me finally look up and into the mess of what used to be my room; posters were ripped apart hanging lose from where i stuck them to the wall; pages of books were scattered across the floor, the spines of the books lying amongst them; shelves were torn from the walls; drawers had been emptied and had created piles of my old clothes thrown all across the room.

"I've never known why she did this." I finally spoke up, my voice only slightly shaking but even more so when i said the next thing, "I was scared to walk through these halls, first because of my fathers hard fists, then because of my mum who said horrible things. But you know, i still loved her, and she had her nice moments." It wasn't an excuse for her, no far from that, I had accepted a long time ago that my mum hadn't been a good mother, but she had loved me in her own fucked up way and I had made peace with it.

I looked around the room again, the sheets on the bed were ripped apart, feathers from the pillows were lying helplessly on the torn sheets. I wanted to turn my head away from it but i noticed something shining in the dim moonlight that come through the window. In the wood of the bed was a dagger stuck. I slowly made my way through the room, grabbed ahold of the hilt and pulled it out of the wood. I inspected it with a curious eye, in the blade was my family name- iTakami- ingraved. I hadn't noticed Dabi had followed me into the room and slightly jumped as he put a hand on my shoulder, "I didn't know about all this." he said sadly. I shrugged.

"I had never told anyone about this before, Rumi knows part of the story but not much," i rubbed my forehead with my hand. "You're the first person i told this too,"

Toya pulled me with a careful hand out of the mess I used to call my room, i clutched the dagger in my hand.
"Sorry." i said once he closed the door behind him. "What're you sorry for?" Dabi asked.

I shrugged again not answering. "You're such a pain in the ass sometimes." He stated and he shook his head at me. I only chuckled slightly before we went downstairs again to grab our bags, I put the blade in my bag safely, and i grabbed a bottle from the plastic bag.

"We're gonna head to bed." Dabi announced before we went upstairs again. I led him towards my mum's old bedroom. It was a plain but big room. In the middle of the room was a huge bed with the headboard against the wall, a wardrobe on the left side against the wall, a work table on the right. I put my bag down on the table before jumping onto the bed spreading my sore limps.

"So tired." I whined, closing my eyes. The bed creaked and another weight sat down on the bed. "Me too." Toya said and he yawned. "Wanna drink though?" i asked as i sat up with a grin, i held my hand up which was holding the bottle.

Dabi managed a half smile and nodded, "Sure why not."

I got rid of my jacket and threw it somewhere on the floor, I kicked my shoes off too. Dabi did the same and crossed his legs and made a move to get the first sip of the alcohol. We passed the bottle back and fort until it was nearly empty.
"You know, we always get drunk when we're together." i said and Toya laughed, "When we were younger we didn't."

I lied down and Dabi followed me down soon after. He groaned a little. "Are you okay?" i asked softly as it turned on my side to look at him. He was lying on his back, one arm resting carelessly on his chest while the other touched the fresh wound. He turned his head to look at me.
"They healed it mostly, it's just sore." he answered.
I shuffled closer to Dabi, pressing my forehead against his shoulder. He rolled his eyes before also rolling on his side and pulling me against his chest.

I took a deep breath, finally allowing myself to relax. Everything that had happened was dissapearing from my mind for just tonight, it'll be tomorrow me's problem. I fell asleep not soon after.

I woke up the next morning feeling well and rested, but i realised almost immediately that the bed was empty. I grabbed my phone which was dead, i had no idea what time it was but judging from the sun that was streaming through the curtains it was late morning. I sat my phone back down on the nightstand as i got up slowly.

I had just pulled my shirt off when I heard slow footsteps approach the door, i perked up an eyebrow as the door opened. Toga was revealed and somehow i wasn't surprised she was wearing Hello Kitty pyjama. "Keigo, Rumi said to get you, breakfast is ready." Her golden eyes were dark and it showed that she had just woken up.

"Alright I'll be down in a minute." She nodded and yawned in her hand before and disappearing again. I quickly changed into a sleeveless turtleneck and the trousers of my hero suit.

I walked down the stairs and nostalgia hit me once again, the house smelled like bacon and eggs, the same breakfast my mother made when she had been in a good mood.

"Morning," I chirped. Rumi stood by the stove and grunted a response, Dabi was outside smoking his morning cigarette and i was about to join him outside but i realised i couldn't leave, the others, spare Rumi- and Shigaraki who i guessed was still holed up in one of the guest rooms-, all had their eyes on me once i said 'morning'. Did they expect me to have some master plan ready? I coughed awkwardly as i sat down. I tried to stare back at Mr Compress but the intensity in his stare made me turn my head away from him.

"So how did you get eggs?" I asked Mirko instead, "Compress went out for them, people don't recognise him if he isn't wearing his mask so we have at least one person who can go outside unnoticed." she answered and Compress hummed in agreement as he finally looked away and sipped coffee.
"I can go outside unnoticed when i turn into someone!" Toga said. "Oh yeah and then you take the risk that you run into that exact same person." Dabi said when he entered the kitchen and his cold stare made everyone go quiet. Toga grumbled under her breath, slumped in her chair and she crossed her arms.
"We need to lay low for a little, we can't do much about anything but the heroes are onto us." I said, it wasn't a master plan but it was all i had.

"How long?" Twice asked, i shrugged. "I don't know." i responded doubtfully.
"So we need to wait till we continue the plan?" Compress asked, he meant Shigaraki's plan, of hero destruction and blah, blah, blah.
I took a deep breath before continuing on more dangerous ice now.

"I don't think we should continue the plan at all."

Destroy the symbol of peace is what Shigaraki wants, it's what he pretty much managed to do already with All Might no longer being strong enough to be a hero. Destroy the people who want to become heroes, he wants to so bad but it wasn't the right thing to do.

Dabi's eyes widened but he kept quiet, we locked eyes, i continued not breaking eye contact with him, "Y'all are good people, people who have been mistreated by the society," I turned away from Dabi and looked at Toga and Compress, they had been mistreated.

"People who didn't get any help when they needed it," I looked at Twice, he had needed help, he had almost turned insane because of his quirk and almost lost himself.

"And people who've been abused by their parents." I looked at Dabi again who was still looking at me fiercely.

"You want us to give up?" Dabi asked as he frowned. "No I--" i turned to Mirko, "We want to give you something different to fights for, to give you all a second chance."

They all stayed quiet glancing at each other.

"We did some horrible things, we can't just turn back to society now." Compress broke the silence.
"Yes you can, I'll help. I promise." i said, Mirko nodded. "We want to support you." She said.
Dabi slammed his hands down on the table angrily.

"So you're just gonna let everyone who did something go?" he snapped, sparks of fire flew from his hands.

"No, I didn't say that!" i argued back, i knew who he was talking about.
"Sure sound like it!"
"To-- Dabi," i almost slipped his real name out, "You know, i hate him too, he deserves to suffer but it won't help if you keep being a bitch about it. We can start a trial on him with your siblings' help!" I argued, he scowled at me.

He didn't have anything else to say to me so he kept quiet and crossed his arms. Toga looked hopeful at me, "So you promise to help us? To help us get back?"

I nodded but before i could say anything Mirko interrupted me, "We promise."
"How are you going to do it?" Compress asked, "I'll speak with the number one hero of course, he fucked up at least one of your lifes."

Dabi glared at me and got up slamming his hands on the table again, leaving hand shaped burn marks on the wood, "Fuck you." He spat, before pushing the chair he was sitting away aggressively and disappeared through the back door, into the forest.  

"Wow. You really chose someone who gets angry fast, huh Keigo?" Mirko said with a sadness set in her gaze.
"Shut up, Rumi," i snapped at her, she looked taken aback and instantly felt guilty, "I'm sorry," i apologised. She shrugged and turned back to the villains. 

"I don't know how we are going to fix it but we're gonna try, we can't guarantee that you won't be punished but we can at least try to lower the punishment." Mirko continued, we had spoken this over yesterday while we walked to her house, only in not so many words. 

Surprisingly they all nodded at us. I hadn't expected any if them to agree to this so fast, i had expected at least a bit more of fight like with Dabi, though now the others had agreed he would too, he already has even if he hasn't said so himself and stormed off angry. Now the tricky part was to convince Shigaraki.

"Would one of you want to talk to Shigaraki about this?" i asked, both Mirko and Compress stood up, "I'll do it." She said she eyed Compress as he said, "We'll do it, you go get Dabi."

I nodded, "Thanks for believing in me." and i stepped outside into the garden. For the first time in a while I actually felt useful, like a real hero, helping people in need. Now there was only one soul left to save. Toya.

I just read somewhere that someone said that we should call Dabi x Hawks instead of Dabihawks or Hotwings, Firefly and i love that. Also i don't know if this chapter makes sense at all let me know if it didn't✌️
