Eeeeek we're getting closer to the end! I can't believe I've made it this far. Thank you for sticking around! I hope this chapter is okay :)


Her Peace

The LoV stood quietly as Tomura rewound the cameras to the past thirty minutes.

"Is there audio to this?" Mr. Compress spoke up.

"Of course," Shigaraki scoffed as he turned the sound up.

"That's hot," Magne giggled as they watched the intimate moment between Dabi and Ginsui.

"Toga, I don't care to watch those idiots makeout. It's disgusting," Shigaraki added.

"Stop watching them and pay attention to the alley!" Himiko encouraged.

"Oh my, she's right. There's someone over there," Mr. Compress stated, pointing to the camera focused there instead of towards the street where Dabi and Gini could be seen arguing.

"He's kinda cute," Magne began again.

"Everyone shut the fuck up. What did she say before I walked away?" Dabi asked, shushing his gossiping family.

The group quieted at his insistence while Tomura rewound the recording again.

"Please don't go away. I'm pregnant," her soft words were almost deafening in the closet they stood in.

They didn't even have time to react to the news. Kai was already stepping over to the woman.

"I... I can't watch!" Magne cried out, pushing the others out of her way to leave.

Himiko covered her ears. It was easier to stomach the recording if she couldn't hear the bird-beaked man's words. Once the deed was done, the League stood in gruesome silence. Dabi's heat radiated the fury everyone felt within.

"Everyone to the bar. Let's stay cool and collected. We can't think about what we need to do next if we're going to be irrational about it Dabi and Toga," Tomura commanded.

"Toga, did she give any indication on where she was running?" The leader continued once everyone was settled in the bar area.

"It looked like she was headed west—"

"—Our place is that way," Dabi interrupted, already headed to the door.

"What do you mean 'our place'?" Shigaraki asked, "Oh nevermind, I'll worry about that later. Dabi stay here! I can't risk you going out and giving us away so soon!"

Dabi's icy stare burned through the younger man.

"She's hurting and you want me to just stand here? Fuck that, man," he coldly replied and walked outside.

Seconds later, he was back in with smoke dancing around him.

"Godfuckingdamnit. There are Pros everywhere. Some kind of widespread panic happened and now I can't go find her without getting myself caught," he explained as he poured himself a strong drink.

"Toga do you think Gini had anything to do with that?" Kurogiri asked as Dabi chugged the whiskey and poured another glass.

"...yeah. I tried to follow her, but her quirk reactivated after she hit the cop. The hatred she gave off was so intense that I started to stabby stabby and I ran in here so that I wouldn't go too far. She'd be so upset with me if I killed again..."

"Has anyone heard from Twice or Spinner?" Tomura moved on.

"Twice is searching for recruits and Spinner picked up the last job offer we received," Mr. Compress answered.

He didn't know Gini as well as the others in the room with him; however, he could tell that she played an important role in their lives and it was painful to watch them fall apart. Perhaps Spinner or Twice would be able to help.

Tomura sighed as his phone began to ring, "Twice? Oh you did? Yes, we will be at the meeting place tonight then. Are you sure he'll come with you? Fine."

"What's up?" Dabi asked, his words starting to slur now that his fourth drink was almost finished.

Kurogiri squinted at the drunk man. Why bother with a glass, if he was going to drink the entire bottle?

"Apparently Twice thinks he's found a potential accomplice. Dabi, why don't you contact Spinner and help him get the job done sooner. You need the distraction."

"No, I'm going home once the umm...the umm..." he tried to argue but passed out mid-sentence instead. He slumped in the stool and fell to the ground while Magne muttered an "oh dear".

She rushed over and tried to pick him up. Unfortunately, he woke back up and wanted to walk on his own.

"My babygirl has a baby you guys," he snorted, the trauma his girlfriend had experienced being completely ignored.

"Yes, she does. She's going to be the prettiest mommy. I can't wait to see her baby bump!" Magne added, dragging the slob over to sit on the couch.

"Dabi, you piece of shit. What are you doing sitting there being an idiot? Shouldn't you be plotting something nasty?" Shigaraki huffed.

"Why would I do that when I'm so happy right now. My kid's still alive, Shiggy Shigs."

"Maybe it's a good thing he's too drunk to remember what happened after her confession..." Big Sis mumbled.

"Turn on the news, Kurogiri. Let's see if they have any information we can go by."

The warp user quickly obeyed.

"A sudden explosion of anger hit the old Higashi Naruhata town. The Silver Sorceress was seen running from the onslaught as it seemed to chase her. Various reports from witnesses claim that she stopped at some point and faced the wreckage before they felt a pulse of calm rush through them. Our camera crew caught the hero in an odd discussion with the Pro, Eraser Head..." the news anchor spoke as a recording of Gini asking Aizawa to return her quirk so that she could continue to fix the mess.

"Look at her go with my baby. She's glowing she's so beautiful and strong and brave and just look at her go," Dabi slurred as the staples around his eyes began to strain from his misplaced grin.

Mr. Compress knew it was only a matter of time before the man sobered up and got angry again. He hoped the building would remain intact whenever that happened.

The camera cut back to the newscaster.

"As you can see, she admitted that she was calming down the strange behavior so that the other Pros could step in. Without her, who knows what could have happened."

"I don't know, Daikaku, you don't think she had something to do with why the chaos ensued to begin with? Eraser Head wouldn't have stopped her quirk if he didn't suspect," a co-host voiced before Tomura shut the television off.

"Kurogiri, you've been quiet this entire ordeal. Do you have any opinions on what we should do about this?"

The man did not reply. Instead, he dismissed himself to his room. He sat there and debated going out and finding Gini himself. She was notorious for her secrets; yet, he had kept a big one from her.

The day she first showed up, he looked after her for Aizawa's sake. He had talked Tomura into keeping her away from All for One. It was hard to believe that they had known each other as teenagers. He joined the A class his second year and she had been the first to greet him.

She wasn't as close to him as Hizashi or Shouta had been, but she was still friendly. His laugh always sent her into a fit of giggles. She had said that it was contagious, that laugh. The few times he shared it in her presence as this new creature, new person, she had been too drunk to notice.

He was a monster, but his past was suddenly waking up after being in deep hibernation for so long. And all it took was seeing her argue with Aizawa. What did she call him back in those days? ZaZa? They were good together. They were healthy together. They would still be that way had he not helped Shigaraki at the USJ.

Kurogiri felt sorry for the scarred man in the other room. He would have been a good match for her too if he hadn't been so...broken and altered himself. Dabi, as he asked to be called, wanted the woman but had no idea the consequences he would face after getting the girl. It was meant to be a disaster from the start, and Kurogiri just silently let it all happen.

I'm a monster. Oboro thought desperately as he sank back into the abyss of Kurogiri.

"WHAT THE FUCK DABI," A hissing Shigaraki interrupted the warping villain from his thoughts.

"I said let me go. I just remembered that I still need to burn that officer to the bone. The prick. And when I find Overhaul, he's dead," the man drunkenly cackled.

Kurogiri sighed. He could smell the smoke already. They would have to relocate again, it seemed. Blue flames peeked under her door as he began to warp the members to another location.


-GINI POV-

The sunset-eyed woman sat in Kai's office, debating her next move. The Hassaikai members present in this base were already on her side even if they were unknowingly so. She had been too brash though, too forward. She should have stayed home. Dabi would have appreciated that. She could have used that extra time to process what had happened to her. She was still running on adrenaline.

If her lover was furious before, then her current predicament was going to be what pushed him to cut her off. Maybe it was better that they would no longer be together. Why would he want to touch her after...after she was just used by someone else? She was gross. She was unclean. Dabi wasn't going to want her anymore, so why not "pay her debt" like Kai wanted. What else did she have to lose?

She had lived a pleasantly boring life for the past decade.

In less than one year, she had broken up with her high school sweetheart, a man she thought was her soulmate. She had gotten involved with the Pro Hero society she hated again, she had fraternized with a growing criminal organization, and then she ended up hooking up with one of those members that just so happened to be the dead son of a man that ruined her professional career to begin with.

But she didn't stop there, no.

She then got pregnant by the self-dooming man, inserted her 17-week-pregnant self into the Shie Hassaikai despite her father abandoning it for her sake, and had literally zero idea on what the hell she was going to do next.

Would she go through with her plan on turning the criminals on themselves and watch them bathe in blood as they killed themselves off? Would she simply walk back out and ignore the calls the thugs would surely send her now that she convinced them that she was the boss? Would she just act like she came to get her inheritance and go if Chisaki let her?

Who the fuck knew? She sure as hell didn't.

If she had been told last year that this is where she would end up, she would have laughed. She snorted at her insanity as she skimmed through Chisaki's business files, completely disregarding her fears of the future.

She sighed as she began deleting evidence of her intrusion. An idea began to form. She could still ruin Kai's plans. She needed to find the drugs he had made, replace them with fakes if she could, and then slowly work her way out of his debt.

He was a man set on control. She only needed to give herself to him, even if she was putting on an act. She pulled out her phone and keyed in "how to be submissive" into the search engine. The first site "The Ultimate Guide to Being a Submissive" seemed promising, so she dove in.

They crave being used and need to serve.

She raised an eyebrow as she thought of Dabi. She could be used by him all day long and not feel any shame. To be that way with Kai, though? Jesus Christ on a cupcake she would not make it.

She looked over some of the words associated with it: slave, property, pet. There it was, the word that loathsome man had addressed her as. Pet.

They are obedient and accept discipline when needed.

Ginsui gagged, but continued to learn all she could for the role. When this was all done, she was booking a flight to America. She was going to rekindle a relationship with her mother's family and be done with Japan as a whole. No Emi, no Aizawa, no Dabi, and no Chisaki freaking Kai.

She huffed as she debated on whether or not to call Shigaraki. She had no doubt that Himiko would have told them what had happened to her. Dabi would have found out by now, and she didn't want to deal with him. Not now, not ever. How could she ever look him in the face now?

Instead of pouting about the nasty situation, she opted to explore her new surroundings. She had come to this lair of thugs with the notion of conquering. Now, she was going to be submissive and destroy them in a more subtle approach. It was the safest thing.

And she was glad she went that route. She found herself in a room with a frail girl. What kind of role model would she be, what kind of hero would she be if she let her anger, hatred, and disgust rule her motives?

The closer she got to the small child, the more worried she became. It was all too clear that this kid was part of Chisaki's masterplan. The two pale-haired relatives ogled each other quietly in a mix of surprise and concern.

"Your hair is kinda like mine," the girl spoke up as Gini's eyes lightened to a sunny yellow.

"Are you a relative of The Boss?" Gini asked, lowering herself to sit in front of the girl. She could feel her lighten up, but it was a difficult task.

"He's my grandfather," Eri answered.

"Oh! He's my great uncle. That explains your reddish eyes too. See, my dad had copper ones, his brother had wine-red ones, and yours is something in between."

"Yours change colors. They were orange and pink, but now they're yellow."

"Yeah, they do that when I use my quirk."

"Your quirk?"

"Yes, my dad had the same kind. He said it was a curse. We feel what other people feel...and we can alter how they feel too. Right now, I'm trying to make you cheerful; although, I'm having trouble with it. Did something happen to you here? Did Chisaki hurt you?"

"I'm not...I'm supposed to talk about that. Who are you? Are you working with him?" Eri frowned, looking up at the corner of her room where a camera was located.

"I'm Ginsui, but you can call me Gini. What is your name?" The Silver Sorceress answered, thankful that Eri let her know that she was being recorded.

"I'm Eri. You should probably leave before he comes back."

Gini leaned in so that her whispers would go unheard by anyone other than the girl they were meant for.

"Eri, I am not with Chisaki. But, I'm going to pretend to be, okay? I'm going to stop the manufacture of his drugs. Then, I'm going to get us out of here, okay. No one can know that though. Do you think you can keep my secret?"

Eri nodded, slightly relieved. Her eyes lit up though as her savior's quirk began to settle into her fragile mind. Someone was going to trick Chisaki-san. She didn't know that was possible. It sounded silly to her, but it was hope. If anyone could save her, she had no doubt it would be this woman.

Ginsui still had a lot of work to do. She checked her phone and it read 12:33PM. When would the leader be back?

She took a deep breath and called him.

"Ms. Fukukado?"

"I need things here at your place. For someone who spent a decade planning for me to pay my debt, you really didn't prepare. Do you have a card or something I could use to go shopping with? The League left me a little poor."

Chisaki stopped what he was doing. She had gotten into his home and apparently without any hassle. But, his dream of her being there was finally happening.

"There's a card in the desk drawer of my office. The code to get in is 0509. You can use it only if you shop online. You cannot leave the house. Do you understand?"

Gini stifled a laugh. She knew the code because it was her birthday and she had already taken the card he mentioned before she had even gotten to this point.

"Also, I found a small child here. I didn't know I'd be babysitting. Can I buy her things too? She looks real frumpy in the gown she has on."

Kai paused again. She had already found Eri? He hadn't planned on her ever being exposed. He didn't want her to know what he was doing. That would push her away and that would be dangerous. He needed to give some slack. If he was too possessive too quickly, it would fuck it up. He wanted her to want him.

"Yes, of course. Try to keep the spending under a grand, please."

It was Gini's turn to be surprised. A whole grand? Hot damn, she could do that.

"I wouldn't dare spend that much! I'll see you...when exactly? I've spent most of the morning thinking about you," She asked, trying to sound needy. She wasn't lying though. She spent the day thinking about how she would slit his throat, but he didn't need to know all that.

"You won't be seeing me again until tomorrow. I'll make arrangements with the chef to prepare lunch and dinner for you. I have a list of requirements I expect you to adhere to starting tomorrow. For now, take a bath at eight and you are restricted to my room after that. Do you think you can manage?"

Ginsui bit her bottom lip in irritation. He was already being too bossy for her taste.

"I understand," she forced herself to say politely and hung up.

She wasn't going to go shopping online. It's not like he was going to know, now that she disabled the camera in the office so that it played her going through his files on repeat to look like she was shopping.

"Eri, come on. We're going out for a bit."

"But...but we aren't supposed to leave..."

"Honey, if we get caught I'll take the heat. He's not going to touch you again. Not as long as I am here."

Eri nodded in excitement. She was going to go out!
