Chapter 53; Dabi
"Dad! It burns! Help me!"
A young boy with red hair stared at his arm. The appendage was coated with furious blue flames that spiraled out of control. Endeavor watched as his first born son was covered completely in the blue fire until his screams faded into nothing and all that was left was a pile of ashes. He left the pile to inform his other children of their brother's death. The ashes on the ground reignited with a small ember. That tiny blaze grew until Todoroki Touya was back with no scar tissue or bruises to be seen.
Touya frantically patted down his body but the previous pain had already faded from his mind. Touya realized that his quirk was more than hellish blue flames that were so similar to his father's. Still though, Touya was terrified of what kind of grueling work his father would put him through if he found out. So being a young tween, Touya ran. He didn't stop for anything. Not his phone, his clothes, or even the siblings he loved so very much.
His whole life he was groomed into being the perfect successor for the vile Number Two Pro-Hero. Well, Touya figured the best way to spite the bastard was to become the complete opposite. Instead of becoming the Number One Pro Hero, he would become the world's most vicious villain. But, like with anything, you had to start at the bottom. And the bottom of "World's Greatest Villain" was nothing more than a petty thief and pickpocket.
So that was what he did. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. On his third month into his petty thievery, he tried and failed at robbing the Blood Hero: Vlad King and his daughter while they were on a Daddy-Daughter-Date.
Touya - "Give me you money and you won't get hurt."
Sekijiro - "Son, what do you think you're doing?"
Touya gritted his teeth and held out his hand. A small blue flame hovered in his palm, searing the skin black. An unfortunate downside to Touya's quirk, he can't form calluses so the pain was very present in his mind. He flung the ball of fire at the small girl with the cutest blonde pigtails. Kan Sekijiro had no issue blocking the weak attack and then knocking the weak fourteen year old unconscious.
Sekijiro - "Come on Himiko, we're going to visit Uncle Nezu."
Himiko - "Yay! Uncle Rat is sooo cool!"
Touya was hauled onto Sekijiro's back in a piggy back with Himiko walking next to her dad with her tiny fist holding on to the bottom of his coat almost guiding him back to their car. On the car ride to the school, Touya's hands were bound behind his back and he had washable marker whiskers drawn on his face. He regained consciousness when Himiko drew on his face but the guilty smile on her face made him think of his own little sister. She gave her a soft smile and let her continue to color on his face.
Sekijiro watched his baby girl giggle and draw on the "villain's" face and the boy, despite not being able to do anything to stop the childish "attack" sat there quietly and let Himiko draw away with occasional praises and words of encouragement. Once or twice he called her Fuyumi, but quickly apologized and asked for her name.
Himiko - "I'm Kan Himiko! What's your name?"
Touya - "...I'm Touya. It's very nice to meet you Kan-chan."
Himiko - "No! I'm Himiko! You have to call me Himiko!"
Touya - "Okay Himiko."
The car came to a gentle stop outside the school. Sekijiro turned around in his seat to face the children.
Sekijiro - "Himiko, want to go tell your Uncle we're here?"
Himiko - "Okie Daddy! See you soon Touya!"
Himiko raced out of the car with boundless energy and a thousand watt smile.
Sekijiro - "Son, I can tell you're no villain. Why would you be so stupid and rob people on the streets?"
Nezu - "Because the poor boy is homeless. After an interesting discovery about his quirk he ran away from home and has been on the streets performing as a petty pickpocket and purse snatcher to survive."
Touya faced the small rat-bear-dog with a giggly girl standing behind him petting his head.
Touya - "How the hell do you know that?!"
Nezu - "Japan has a great number of surveillance cameras everywhere. Now Sekijiro, what brings you and young Touya here today?"
Sekijiro - "Just wanted to know what options I can take regarding Touya."
Touya - "What do you mean, "regarding me?"
Nezu - "Well before three months ago Touya was officially declared dead due to a quirk malfunction, so what I can do is create new government documents for Touya as your oldest child."
Touya - "Wait, hold on -"
Sekijiro - "That sounds good. Kan Touya is a good name. Himiko, sweetheart do you want an older brother?"
Himiko - "Yes! Touya is Nii-chan now!"
Touya - "This is now kidnapping."
Sekijiro - "Sounds about right. Want to become a Kan, Touya?"
Touya - "Doesn't sound like I'm being given a choice, but whatever. Just don't send me back to the streets or to that bastard."
Nezu - "Worry not. Endeavor will have no legal claim to you. After today, you will be Kan Touya."
And he was. After Nezu spent a few minutes on his computer, Touya was legally Kan Sekijiro's oldest child. When Touya and Himiko were old enough, Sekijiro sent them both to the National Hero Academy in America. Despite his plans to become a ruthless, cutthroat villain, Sekijiro was right. He didn't have it in him to become a villain. He loved helping people whether it be in a soup kitchen, a burning building or studying for a tes, helping people was just apart of his nature.
When he and Himiko graduated as Valedictorians, they went back to Japan to work in their father's agency. Sekijiro now worked at UA as the Class 1-B teacher so the new Pro Heroes, The Phoenix Hero: Dabi and The Shapeshifting Hero: Toga rose through the ranks without their fellow heroes and sidekicks finding out their father owned the agency.
The two of them specialized as Underground Undercover Heroes. They infiltrated villainous operations like drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and even some yakuza organizations to name a few. Kan Sekijiro was immensely proud of his children and rewarded them with a big family meal after a successful operation.
The newest mission? Infiltrate the League of Villains.
<~>
Dabi stood by the stairs as the strange, pale, red eyed man wearing the orange hoodie locked a gorgeous woman with wolfish ears and tail in the holding cell. She was unbelievably pale, with golden colored hair and fur, black finger and toenails that were slighter sharper than normal. He could make out pearly white sharpened canines between her lips. He was entranced by the dark gold eyes the second they opened. Deep pools of molten gold that hooked him and refused to let go and he was damn sure he didn't want them to.
Toga - "Oooo! Fresh blood! I want to make her bleed! I want to see her blood!"
Dabi - "Go back upstairs. I don't need to hear your crazy ass this late at night."
Toga - "Fine~ I'll up some new videos about my darling Izuku~"
The pale haired man was dragged upstairs by Toga, leaving the two of them alone.
Nova - "Nova."
Dabi - "Excuse me?"
Nova - "My name is Nova."
Dabi - "You can call me Dabi."
Dabi picked at the skin on his face. To sell his new villain persona, the lower part of his face going down his neck was scarred black from his quirk. His hair was dyed black, he had staples literally holding his face together so talking was hell. He had his eyes pierced with simple black studs and a sterling silver eyebrow piercing that he stole. If it wasn't for his face and lower arms being held together by staples and stitches, he would've loved this look.
Nova - "You're a good person Dabi."
Dabi - "Oh? How can you say that when you're locked in a cell for an evil scientist?"
Nova - "Because Souls' never lie."
Nova made a 'come here' motion with her hand and Dabi's soul emerged from his chest.
Nova - "Your Soul is...unique to me. Orange, light cyan, and yellow. Bravery, patience, and justice. Honor, how interesting."
Dabi saw a floating semi translucent heart floating in front of him. The main color was orange fading into a yellow. Swirls of a light cyan color moved through the heart.
Nova - "I can tell what kind of person you are based on your Soul. However, I can also tell when someone is trying to be secretive. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You might want to knock me out."
Dabi - "I will get you out of here one day."
Nova - "I know you will. You don't have the Soul to be an evil man."
It killed Dabi a little to render her unconscious, but ultimately he was glad he did it. No sooner after he did it, the pale man returned with the know-it-all evil scientist guy from another world.
Gaster - "Well well. Isn't this a pleasant little twist to fate. You, wake it up."
Dabi inwardly scowled at his words and backhanded the woman awake. She looked around frantically and locked eyes with the scientist.
Chara/Papyrus - "Hey Dings, I found this one in town. Do you know her?"
Gaster - "Well well. I presumed you to be dead."
Nova - "Well, Daddy Dearest, you're the one at fault for assuming things. You made an ass out of you and me."
Dabi had to bite his tongue to stifle a snicker. This girl had some bite to bark.
Gaster - "You always were quick with a sharp tongued insult, 001. Tell me, what do you think of 003 "Papyrus?" It is made completely from my own D.N.A."
Nova - "Go to hell."
Dabi was proud that Nova spat at the pristine lab coat. She had a fiery personality and would never back down from a fight.
Gaster - "It brings me great satisfaction that you have not lost your personality, 001. You have quite the mind and I do so longed for our chess games."
Nova - "Like hell you did. What are you planning?!"
Dabi jumped back from the bars as she lunged to try and tear off the irritating smug grin on the scientist's face.
Gaster - "Oh, nothing worth mentioning to an experiment. However, I do have some questions for you. You see, in recent days, 002's magical signature has been altered or changed or hidden entirely."
Dabi watched Nova as she froze. She knew what he wanted and he saw the terror grow in her golden eyes.
Gaster - "So, 001, NOVA. Where is Experiment 002, SANS?"
Nova - "I'd rather die protecting my brother than ever tell you anything."
Gaster - "So be it. I will return in precisely thirty minutes. I have some finishing touches to add to the M.R.C and S.T.M."
Nova flinched at the mention of two acronyms, but kept her glare hard and venomous. Soon it was just Dabi and Nova again.
Dabi - "Family reunion?"
Nova - "Story of my life."
Dabi - "You're really pretty - I MEAN PRETTY COOL!"
Her laughter was like little twinkling bells that danced in the cell.
Nova - "Thanks. You're pretty and cool too Dabs."
Dabi - "Eh heh heh...Look, it'll be a long while before I can get you out of here, but I'll try and help you as much as possible."
Nova - "I appreciate it, but don't do anything that can compromise your position. And don't interfere when Gaster does anything. The less he knows about you the better. And do not trust 003. Papyrus is not currently himself. He's possessed by...something. And if we both survive this ordeal, I'll take you on a date, deal?"
Dabi's face lit up in an array of bright and dark reds and pinks before he laughed.
Dabi - "Sure thing, Puppy. I'll take you out on the best date of your life when this is all over."
