ᴍɪꜱꜱᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ? | ᴅᴀʙɪ/ᴛᴏᴜʏᴀ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ | ᴘᴀʀᴛ 1: ʙᴀᴄᴋ ʜᴏᴍᴇ

(AN: feel free to skip this first part of the AN, slight spoilers for the story ahead!: Okay so before we start some quick notes:

Reader and Dabi are 25 presently, Dabi is the eldest sibling with the others being their canon ages.

(I’m mentioning this next part here because I couldn’t figure out how to add it to the title eue) Reader and Touya went to school together since their first year of middle school.

She had gotten pregnant at around 15 with Touya’s baby (this all gets explained!) but given this follows the Touya theory he ‘died’ so she’s a single mom.

I was sorta iffy posting this fic, because I wasn’t sure if it would get any attention, but I’m also excited to do it so... Here you go? lol

Reader’s quirk: Mirror: The ability to make a large force field spanning up to 30 feet or smaller force fields to protect people within it/them. When projectiles hit the fields they are deflected, when non ranged attacks hit them they bounce off. )

[F/n’s POV]

It’s been 10 years already, since I last saw Touya Todoroki. Even now it feels like almost yesterday his ashes were found in his room at the Todoroki house. I still remember Fuyumi calling me in tears, sobbing nearly to the point she was inaudible and she had to repeat herself more than once. I was 15, pregnant, and finding out my boyfriend for a little over a year had cremated himself, I went into shock before I broke down. My mom was there fortunately, and held me as I shook with sobs.

“I didn’t even tell him, mom!” I remember screaming over and over until my voice gave out. It was a bad dream, it had to be right? I hoped that every night for a year that I’d wake up to a call from him telling me to get up, that he was outside my house waiting to walk to school.

But the calls never came, I only saw and talked to Fuyumi and later Natsuo after that; like me they seemed so numb, after all their mom had been sent to a hospital shortly before, their little brother was a complete stranger thanks to their father, and then Touya was gone… I was there for them as much as I could; my mom shortly after Touya’s death moved us a few cities away too, resulting in me changing schools to attend a normal high school. UA became a far away dream along with my future as a hero; this baby became most important to me, it was going to be the last connection I would have to Touya.

After Kaoru was born it became hard to focus on school and homework, but I pushed through, my mom and older sister Rina helping me with him along the way, and soon enough I was graduated and working towards a career in the police force. Becoming a hero then… It stayed a faraway dream, plus I still wanted to help people.

“Are you sure about this? Rina and I have already said-”

“Mom,” I stopped her, smiling while I fed a then 3 year old Karou,”It’ll be fine, plus my quirk will help with hostage situations and raids no matter what. I’ll be a hero in a way still even if it isn’t a pro.”

Even with my words and smile I don’t think she believed me, but she helped me either way. She was a single mom young, raising Rina and me by herself, so she understood.

I eventually told Natsuo first about Kaoru and let them meet so long as this big news was kept from his father. Fuyumi was next, and while she tried to convince me to let Kaoru meet his grandfather (if you can even call him that, much less a father) I told her I wasn’t comfortable with it. Especially when Kaoru’s quirk came in: My force fields along with his father’s powerful fire? Not an easy combo when your son wants to try out his new powers. Last to meet him was Rei, and surprisingly Shouto who was visiting his mom, last month; Karou by this point was 10, and while I was surprised to see Shouto so grown up from the pictures I saw (and feeling bad it took so long to bring Kaoru to finally meet his other grandma) they were even more shocked by the little redhead clinging to my leg.

Kaoru… Looks just like a mini version of his dad: messy, wild red hair, bright blue eyes, pale skin (with a slight mix of my (skin color)), just like Touya. The only thing resembling me is the streak of (hair color) in one of his bangs. Rina and Natsuo have taken part in jokingly calling him ‘Chibi’ but it doesn’t seem to bother him much; he’s a calm little guy, a lot like his dad in personality too although he gets his brains from me.~

Now 25 I’m a police officer, working mainly on tracking cases and hostage situations. Kaoru and I moved back to Musutafu two weeks ago due to me transferring to the station there; with his problems handling his quirk I was hesitant but it made it easier for him to see his other family and I’ve considered asking Shouto if he or one of his friends can help his nephew learn to conquer this power.

Things seem… Okay. But moving back I can’t help but get this feeling something will change. I just can’t place my finger on it.

[X][X][X]

“Alright, Kaoru, do you have your bag?”

“Yes mom.”

“All your books inside? Did you double check?”

“Yes mom.”

Smiling I hand Kaoru his bento to also slip into his bag after I tuck mine into my own.

“Good, I made some yummy stuff this morning, there’s some extra so if Hari-chan wants to try any of it you should share a little,” I tell him while slinging my bag over my shoulder. I watch his cheeks turn pink at the mention of his best friend/crush and bite my lip so I don’t giggle. So cute.~

The two of us leave the apartment and start walking to the stairs, the morning peaceful at least as we head down the steps and start on our way. People pass the two of us as we weave our way through the crowds, people going to their jobs or schools just like Kaoru and me; it’s silent between us, although Kaoru doesn’t talk much normally but Natsuo has been trying to get him out of his shell.

“What do you want for dinner tonight?” I ask him, glancing down while we wait to cross the street. He shrugs, meeting my eyes.

“I don’t really mind anything, I guess oyakodon?” He replies, the crossing light changing and the two of us following the crowd.

“Oh that sounds delicious! Alright then, I’ll pick you up from Hari-chan’s house after I get off work and we’ll head to the store to get anything we need, okay?” I tell him, Kaoru nodding while the breeze blows through his crimson locks. Looking down at him I sigh, patting his head feeling his hair. “I keep telling you to brush it, Kao,” I smile, the little guy tilting his head away from my hand and scratching the back of it.

“Natsu-oji said it looks cool, he said it’s how dad started to do his…”

I go stiff immediately, remembering him again. My eyes watch ahead as my brain swirls with memories I had pushed to the back of my mind a while ago; I keep him in my thoughts of course, it just is painful to regularly remember Touya. Kaoru looks more and more like him as he gets older, from his messy crimson locks to the way he smiles, which makes me both happy and a bit depressed. He never got to see him, he’ll never get to see him grow… My chest tightens thinking about this.

“Mom?” I stop abruptly and meet my son’s eyes, surprised and coming out of my stupor. He’s pointing to the left at another crosswalk and says,”We need to go this way.” I glance at the street sign realizing I was about to pass where we need to go while so lost in thought. Shaking my head I step next to him and wait, my mind steadily repressing those feelings and thoughts. Kaoru seems to have noticed my shift in mood as I feel his smaller hand take mine and hold it, my (eye color) eyes peering down in surprise. He doesn’t meet mine but I can tell he’s trying to comfort me as best he can while we’re waiting and giving his hand a squeeze we begin to cross when the light changes.

We reach his school first and kissing his forehead goodbye (much to his embarrassment) I wave as I hurry off to work.

[X][X][X]

“Heyyy (F/n),” a voice that makes me inwardly groan speaks up. I stop what I’m typing to look up at Nanaka-san, another officer who’s only been here a few months more than me. He’s younger and seems to know what he’s doing, his quirk giving him the ability to suck in gases and fumes and use them to his own advantage, but he also, from what I’ve seen and heard, has done a few shady deals in the past. I try to steer clear of doing anything more than talking to him while at work. He grins down at me and turning in my chair to face him, he continues,”We’re all goin’ out drinking after work today, you free to join us?” ‘He knows I’m not…’ I think, rubbing my neck and shaking my head.

“Nanaka, I told you not to ask,” Ira-senpai says, coming over as well. “(L/n)-san has a kid, remember?”

Nanaka, while trying not to show it, I can see he’s annoyed she even came over, replying,”Well he has other relatives, right? Can’t they pick him up and watch him?”

“They work and stuff so I try not to bother them. Maybe another time, okay?” I smile, hoping he gets the hint this time. Fortunately he sighs, shrugging and going off to talk to another coworker. A sigh I didn’t realize I was holding releases while I sit back. “Ira-senpai, thank you. I can’t seem to get him to understand,” I tell her, the older woman’s arms crossed and a chuckle escaping her lips.

“Just ignore him or let his words go in one ear and out the other, alright, (L/n)-san? He set his sights on you the moment you entered the office but as long as you deflect his advances he’ll move on,” she replies, patting my shoulder. “Tell Kaoru-chan I said ‘hi’ alright? I have to go check out some things on the League of Villains case.” With that she heads off to her desk and I watch her go before turning back to my work. The League of Villains… I too have also been looking into them but given my being new they’ve kept me a lot out of the loop. I only really know their names and appearances and the like, pulling them up in the database I glance over the information that’s accessible to me and read through them.

‘They’re kind of like boogeymen,’ I think, getting a look at the photos we do have of them. ‘Powerful yet elusive, they give nightmares to parents and children alike, and people are starting to wonder if they’ll be caught…’ I reach one specific person of interest who stands out: Dabi. His name, ‘cremation’, most likely derived from his quirk which… Uses bright blue flames allegedly powerful enough to cremate. The rest, for the most part, have their true names as well as their villain names but no one seems to know who he is. No crimes beyond the work with the league, no age but appears to be early to mid 20’s, no image but a description of black hair, messy, blue eyes, and scars lining his body along with staples seeming to keep his skin in tact maybe? After reading all of this I decide to check out any articles pertaining to the League, but all I find are mostly discussing ‘Tomura Shigaraki’, the attacks on the UA students, their involvement in the Shie Hassaikai situation, and All Might’s retirement.

I do find some murder cases where the victims were burned alive, including the hero Snatch, but they’re unsolved and there’s no suspect yet. Still, I keep it bookmarked for later.

Standing I sigh as I pop my back. Sitting for most of the day can really take a toll on your body sometimes, especially when you’re used to going on missions regularly. Seeing I have about an hour left before I can head home I go grab some coffee before jumping back into filing case notes. I get halfway to the break room when my cell phone starts ringing and furrowing my brows I see it’s Hari’s mom calling me, which is a bit odd given she knows what time I’m off.

“Hello?” I answer, pressing it up to my ear.

“Oh (L/n)-san, thank goodness you answered!! It’s Kaoru, he’s having trouble controlling his quirk again!” Her voice is panicked and my eyes widen.

Ever since his quirk came in he’s struggled to control it, and hearing Hari yelling trying to calm him down in the background I say,”I’ll be over soon!” I hang up and hurry to my boss’s office, knocking on the chief’s door. He luckily isn’t busy as I almost barge in and I’m guessing he can read my expression as he immediately looks worried. “Sir, am I okay to leave early? I hate to ask, b-but my son is in trouble!”

Luckily he understands, this isn’t the first time Kaoru has had this problem since we moved here, but he replies,”Yes, you’re fine to leave now. But (L/n)... You might want to find a way to help him control it, before something happens.” The way he says it I look away and slowly nod, knowing better than to reply in case I say something I shouldn’t. Shutting the door I rush to my desk and grab my bag, logging off my computer, then running out of the station going as fast as I can to Hari’s house.

When I get there it seems like things are under control again but I clearly see the damage; not only is Kaoru burned on his fingertips and hands but a wide circle of dead grass sit in their yard. Hari and her mom are rubbing his back when I arrive, all three on the front steps of their house and looking up when I'm jogging up to them. My son looks terrified, hiding his hands and having trouble meeting my eyes.

“... I’m sorry, mom,” he mumbles, the crack in his voice leaving a tightness in my chest. I quickly lean down and pull him into a hug, rubbing his back.

“It’s okay, Kao, go get your stuff okay?” I tell him pulling back and getting him to look at me. He nods and turns, going inside to grab his things while I step back and run my fingers through my (hair color) locks. “Tsuachi-san, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t worry, (L/n)-san,” Hari’s mom smiles sympathetically. “We’ll get the yard taken care of, I’m more concerned with Kaoru but he wouldn’t let me bandage him up.” I sigh, glancing at the ring again, knowing there’s nothing I can do but still trying to think of a way to fix that. “But (L/n)-san, I’m worried for when he’s at school,” she continues, and turning back to her I’m confused for a second. “Has he gotten any sort of training or something to help him learn to control it? I hear many kids struggle so have you thought about getting him maybe help from his dad’s side of the family.”

“Of course, I’ve talked to his uncle about it, but he’s just in high school… He said he’d help him when he has the time, but lately he hasn’t…” I trail off, crossing my arms and looking down as I start to get lost in thought. Maybe I’ll go visit Shouto again or text him, see if he has any availability or if a friend of his is willing to help. His friend Midoriya offered too when I was talking to their group, maybe I can go talk to him too. I blink out of my thoughts and look up to see Kaoru is saying goodbye before facing me. He’s still having trouble looking at me, and I ruffle his hair as we start walking away, saying goodbye.

[X][X][X]

The walk home is silent, people passing us and the streets not as busy since many people seem to still be at work. I glance at Kaoru a few times, not knowing what to say while he trails a step or two behind me still looking upset about earlier but trying to hide it. I rub my neck in thought, looking up at the sky and humming.

“So how was school?” I ask, looking at him again.

“It was okay,” he mumbles. I nod, and again the awkward quiet settles.

“Did you like your lunch?”

“Yeah.”

“Kaoru, you know… Hari and her mom weren’t mad at you,” I say, deciding talking about earlier can’t be avoided. I catch the way his brows furrow and continue,”They’re just worried.”

“I can’t help it mom,” he says back, making me go quiet as he finally starts to say more than a couple of words. He looks at his hands as he continues,”I-I keep trying, and trying, b-but it’s so hard, I don’t want to hurt anybody, a-and I’m scared…!” His voice cracks again and I can tell he’s trying to stop himself from crying. My brows furrow and I pet his hair, giving a soft smile.

“Kaoru-” I go quiet when my phone buzzes and I pull it out, checking it while I keep walking. I hear my son stop in his tracks a few feet behind me.

“A-are you really going to ask Shouto-oji to help me?” he asks. I halt too and look back at him, nodding.

“Yep, in fact he just text me back,” I let him know, looking at my phone again. Luckily it looks like Shouto may be available this weekend so I start texting him back, telling him thanks and letting him know what times I’m open to meet and ask where he’d like us to go to do the training. “Uncle Shouto said he can probably do some training with you this weekend, what do you… think…”

My voice trails when I look back at Kaoru; he’s standing next to an alley between two shops and staring up at something. While that is already a bit alarming the expression on his face is what I notice the most. His blue eyes are wide and while he does look stiff he doesn’t look all that scared, more like he’s looking at something that’s left him frozen in place and curious. My brows furrow, my motherly instincts kicking in immediately as I start to come back over, asking,”Kaoru…?” But he blinks and looks at me suddenly, replying,”O-Oh really? I miss Sh-Shouto-oji, his ice is fun to slide on…”

I don’t say anything for a moment and move in front of him, peering into the dark alley, hands ready to use my quirk if needed, and looking around. Notably I see the black marks almost like a fire had recently burned here, but other than that nothing. I’m confused, my eyes scanning over everything for any movement but again, nothing. That doesn’t stop me from taking Kaoru’s hand and saying,”Yeah… I’m sure he misses you too, honey…” I pull him away from the alley, wanting to hurry home.

I don’t know what it was, but even if I couldn’t see anything in that alley… I could feel us being watched. I just hope my gut feeling earlier about moving back isn’t a bad sign.

(AN: Part 2 is already halfway done (Dabi comes in too!) so if this does well I’ll post that too. I have a looooot of ideas for this, and WARNING it is going to follow canon like.... Only a little. Like mentions to activities going on in the universe will happen but given this is about Dabi/Touya, (F/n), and Kaoru it’s obviously gonna stray from canon lol

Anyways I hope you guys enjoy! Let me know if you wanna see more, maybe?)

Black Star: *drenched* -_-

tsubaki: we finally made it... *phew*

Black Star: *looks up* "This is the shrine?"

-the shrine is awfully quiet and dark, like no one has visited in years, yet there seems to be vague signs of life.-

Black Star: "??? I can't feel anything in there--but I can see footprints..." *looks in the mud*

tsubaki: ....hello?

-her voice echoes-

Black Star: <Hey, anyone in here?!>

*water from the shrine's roof vibrates--and splashes onto him*

Black Star: -___-#

tsubaki: *looks up* seems someone's at least working on patching up some of the holes in the roof...looks fairly recent too....*sniffs* do you smell that?

Black Star: *sniffs* "...Smells kind of burning."

tsubaki: *steps further into the shrine* !!!

*looks to be a pot boiling*

Black Star: "Food?" *sniffs* "Not a bad smell..."

tsubaki: ok, someone is undoubtedly living here...

Black Star: "But where are they? And they'd need more than just food." *looks along the floor* "Nothing wet on the floor, so they haven't been in or out in a bit."

tsubaki: hmm....

Black Star: *listening for any sounds* "..."

*it sounds like a door is knocked opened*

tsubaki: !!

*the door is kicked opened as someone walks in, seeming to support themselves upright with an umbrella*

tsubaki: *hushed tone* hide!

Black Star: "!!!" *ducks down below a statue in the room*

???: *knocks the umbrella down to shake off some water before depositing it in a container next to the door...* *shakes themselves before tugging on their hood* <...AH!>

Black Star: "?!" ("They saw us?!")

tsubaki: *covers her mouth*

???: "--CHOO!" *sniffles* "..." <Ugh. This rain is stupid!>

*They sound...young?*

tsubaki: ??

Black Star: "..."

-a low roar is heard outside-

???: *pulls back her hood...she does look pretty young, with snot coming down one nostril* -_____- *sniff*

tsubaki: ....

???: *stretches, shaking off more rain off her cloak, as she drags herself over to the pot* <Looks about ready...> *sniffle* *wipes her sleeve under her nose* <Hmm...> *picks up a bowl off the table, right above where Tsubaki is hiding*

tsubaki: 0x0;;;

???: =~= *sniff* *picks up a bottle of something that looks really red* <This should help, too...Just add a bit more, then...> *slight chuckle* <Yes, this should solve my problem...>

tsubaki: ._.;;;

???: *she unscrews the top as she walks by the statue where Black Star is hiding--and some of the powder falls out, landing on Black Star's face*

Black Star: >_<

???: <Now to mix it in...> *sprinkles some of the item into the pot...*

Black Star: "..." *his eyes are watering and getting red* Q_____Q "Ah...Ah..."

tsubaki: *puts a finger to her lips* o~o;;;;

Black Star: *clutching his eyes in pain*

???: *chanting as she stirs* <Bring forth the fire...Bring forth the pain...Through suffering, there is healing...>

Black Star: *whimpering, slapping his hand down on the floor*

???: "?!" *looks down* <More rats again?!>

tsubaki: >~<;;;;

Black Star: *knocks into the statue as he slams up, clutching his eyes* "It burns! IT BURNS SO MUCH!"

???: "?!!!" *lunges to catch the dragon statue, just getting it before it hits the floor* <AH!>

tsubaki: *facepalms* U~U;;;

Black Star: "Out of my way!" *jumps for the door--and instead crashes through the open window, landing in a mud puddle*

???: "... ... ..." <What the devil was that about?>

tsubaki: *siiiigh*

???: <?!> *aims the bowl at Tsubaki* <Who are you?! Why did you let a monkey into this shrine?!>

tsubaki: eep! <s-sorry for the intrusion. we dont mean any harm.>

???: *smacks Tsubaki with the soup ladle* <Interloper!> *smacks her again*

tsubaki: *blade arm block*

???: "?!" <Weapon!> *leaps back*

tsubaki: <please, we arent here to harm you, honest!>

*SLICE*

*an icicle flashes by Tsubaki's face*

tsubaki: *wince*

???: *glares* <That is a warning. Be gone. This is holy land, not for Death's demons.>

Black Star: *pops up in the window, covered in mud* <Jeez, you're all formal and sound like an old fart for some brat-->

*a snowball smashes into Black Star's face*

tsubaki: <as i said, we have no intention of harming you. we're sorry that we came in uninvited, but we have a reason to be here.>

Black Star: -_-; *wipes his face* <Thanks for the clean up, kid. But yeah, what Tsubaki said: we just want to know why there's all this rain-->

???: <What business is a little rain of yours?>

tsubaki: <you see, it's flooding the village down below->

???: <Bah...> *dumps a bunch of the red stuff into her soup* <Their own fault. Ungrateful heathens who turn their backs on her...>

tsubaki: ??

???: <...> *points at the statue* <The rain dragon god? Hello?>

tsubaki: <ah...>

Black Star: *craws back into the room through the window* <So the dragon is making all this rain? Why? It need a sacrifice or something?>

???: -_-; <Nothing so crass, you welp.>

Black Star: -_-# ("Isn't she, like, a teen?")

???: <Tell me something. How did you get here? I bet in some mechanical contraption...>

tsubaki: <we hiked here. it took a while, but we did make it.>

???: <And what did you notice on your way? Probably just looking at your destination--and nothing on the sides.>

tsubaki: .....

Black Star:

???: *smacks Black Star with the ladle* <To know your surroundings, including what's in front of you, what's to your sides--> *smack smack smack* <all of nature!>

Black Star: "GRR!" *snatches the ladle, smacks the witch*

???: >_< *encases Black Star in ice*

tsubaki: !!!!

Black Star: *his mouth and nose exposed* "F-Fucking freez-z-z-ing!"

???: *sips her soup* <...> *dumps more of the red stuff in* <The dragon is displeased. This shrine, when I found it, was covered in human filth. Literally--trash, refuse, garbage, rotten food, littering everything here.>

tsubaki: <maybe if we help clean it up->

???: <I've been doing that on my own. Just how useful can you as a non-magic being be at cleaning?>

Black Star: <Sh-She's really good at cleaning up other people's messes...>

tsubaki: ^^;

???: <...I can believe that. As for you, I don't see much value to you, so--> *pulls out an icicle--*

tsubaki: <wait! dont hurt him! sure, he has his moments, but he has a good heart.>

???:

Black Star: >_< *stretches, shattering the ice around him* <Nah, no need for that!>

tsubaki:...<by the way, i dont think we got your name, miss....?>

???: <Nisa Agama.> *shoves a garbage bag into her hand*

shinoa: akane, we know you're upset and need to vent, but you cant just isolate yourself.

Yoichi: *crying* "It-It's not your fault..."

hyakuya: that doesnt stop me from feeling responsible....

Yoichi: "I-I know...So, what can you do right now?"

mitsuba:....this is just my opinion, but feeling responsible for someone's death and actually _being_ responsible are two different things.

Yoichi: *nods*

mitsuba: tell me, was it _your_ reckless actions that got them killed?

hyakuya: no! w-we were going to escape, but....ferid tricked us...

mitsuba: then it's ferid's fault, right?

hyakuya:....yuu.....he told me to run...

mitsuba: then he was willing to take the risk to make sure you survived.

Kimizuki: "Wait, you all got pizza?"

Kimizuki: "Huh...I had brought some nutritious snacks to improve her health..."

shinoa:....*knowing smirk*

Kimizuki: "Here, start with this yogurt with fruit--the probiotics will help your digestion--"

shinoa: awwww, you do care~

Kimizuki: -_-; "She is on the mend--of course I'm concerned."

shinoa: yet is was you by her side when she awoke. it's like something from sleeping beauty. ^^

Kimizuki: "That's just so fascinating--and I'm sure you are super exhausted, so how about you go to sleep, too?"

hyakuya: heh.....*laughs, wiping tears away*

Kimizuki: "..." *weak smile*

hyakuya: thanks guys....

Yoichi: *smiles* *nods*

hyakuya: ^^ s-sorry for lashing out just now....

Yoichi: "It's okay--I get it..."

Nisa: <Hey, you missed a spot...> *sniffle*

Akitaru: *nods* "A lot of these things take time...Heh, I remember bad dates I had when I was getting started."

shinra: *listens*

Akitaru: "This one time, I took a date out to a punk rock concert...Then in the mosh pit, she got an elbow to the nose."

Akitaru: "Yeah...We managed to stop the nosebleed, but she never did return my Crue shirt we used to stop it..."

karin: yikes.

Akitaru: ^^; "Yeeeeeah...I figured out after that maybe coffee first is a better first-date location."

karin: i can relate, the first date i ever had was to a monster truck rally. my date was a bit overwhelmed, but i found it pretty awesome.

saki: *whips riding crop, summoning lightning*

Airi: "Murderers...When Yuuri was lost, I made a wish--to become her, to avenge her."

saki: she'd become a wraith and was endangering people, so we had to put her down!

Airi: "YOU LIE!" *fires*

mirai: that's what happened to illegal contractors! they become wraiths! if she had officiated her contract, then she'd still be alive!

-meanwhile, a black mass surrounds kazumi's head, growing arms and a chef's hat?-

Airi: "That's not possible! You could've saved her!" *fires*

saki: i know, we could have gotten there sooner, but it was too late for her. we truly are sorry for your loss, but your grief doesnt excuse your own actions!

Airi: "My actions will make this right! Now die!"

Aizawa: "Okay, settle down and pay attention."

jirou: like what?

*there are cardboard cut-outs of police around a jewelry store*

Bakugo: -_-#### "This...is just some bullshit. IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL HOSTAGE SITUATION!"

Izuku: ^^; "Just think of it as play-acting!"

Bakugo: "I DON'T WANT TO PLAY PRETEND! WHAT ARE YOU, FIVE?!"

Iida: "Do you spot the hostage taker?"

momo: yes, he's standing by the door.

Todoroki: "Who did they cast as the villain?"

momo: ..... -_-; remember the USJ training with all might?

Todoroki: "... ... ...Oh not again."

Izuku: "!!! Really?! Is it the same uniform? Did he alter it? Is it a variant?!"

Bakugo: *looking at the roof* "I wonder if I could jump off..."

ochako: ^^;

Bakugo: *groans* "Let's get this over with..." *starts charging up his gauntlets*

tsuyu: so what's the plan?

Bakugo: "Simple--I'm going to blow up the doors, punch the villain in the head, and knock him through the wall."

Todoroki: "..." *facepalm*

jirou: how about you, todo?

Todoroki: "I think there are better options, such as first getting the criminal talking...You think you can keep him talking?"

-and so-

jirou: *listening in*

???: *click* "I said I didn't want to talk to any supers."

momo: if you'd please give us a moment to speak, perhaps we can solve this without anyone getting hurt.

???: "HA! Typical heroes--so selfless...So stupid. Listen. I already told the pigs what I want--I need a helicopter out of here, or you're going to have a mess to clean up."

momo: but what about your family? your friends? what would they think of this?

ochako: credit where credit is due; he's a darn good actor.

???: "HA HA HA! I have everything I care about right here--COLD DIAMONDS! ROCKS! PRICELESS GEMS!"

Bakugo: "What threat? He's dead."

ochako: EHHHHH??!

momo: *looks* !!!

*The villain, AKA All Might, is collapsed on the ground*

Izuku: Q_______Q

Todoroki: "You let glass cut into his heart?"

Bakugo: -_-# "No, stupid! Look at the knife wound!"

All Might: "..." XwX *slight giggle as Tsuyu's hair hits his nose*

tsuyu: he's alive.

Iida: "??? I mean, for the purposes of this exercises, yes, he's 'alive.' But the knife wound looks like it's intended for us to pretend he's dead?"

Iida: *walks back from the back room* "There's no other exit--the front door was the only one."

momo: we should check the cameras.

Iida: *nods*

*they keep yelling at each other*

Izuku: ._.

midnight: im just a customer.

ochako: so what happened?

Cementoss: "The villain came in, barricaded the door, and demanded all the money in the register, followed by as many jewels as he could, and I quote, 'Stuff in my drawers before high-tailing it to Cancun.'"

ochako: i see. and then?

Present Mic: "HE TIED US UP AND SAID IF WE MOVED HE'D STAB US IN THE HEAD!"

midnight: ...

Bakugo: "SO WHICH OF YOU KILLED HIM?!"

midnight: EH?!

Present Mic: "WHACK!"

Cementoss: "B-But no!"

Bakugo: " 'CAUSE THEY'RE A FREAK!"

Cementoss: T~T "I want to go home..."

Izuku: "Hmm...Something doesn't make sense. Jirou, are the phone lines working?"

Izuku: "Then whoever called the cops couldn't have done so inside--and if Midnight was the last to enter...Ma'am, may we see your most recent calls on your phone?"

midnight: oh yes, here.

Izuku: *scrolls through* "Yes...There it is! She called the police."

midnight:.....

Izuku: "...You knew the villain, didn't you?"

midnight: *bites her lip*

Izuku: "Who was he?"

Midnight: *covers her face, sobbing* "It's true--it's all true..."

Izuku: "I think she is telling us--this was someone she was in love with."
