"I can't believe I moved out."
Mei stared at her work on her desk.
"You'll still see me here."
She glared at Izuku.
"You're being used. Don't you know that?"
"I don't mind."
"I suppose this is your way into the hero world."
He didn't say anything.
He didn't want that anymore.
The way Himiko cried to him, her best friend needed saving. He had no idea he was being drawn back into the life he had escaped. Tomura was drawn in probably by sweet nothings whispered by Dabi. Katsuki could do whatever he wanted with him. He had to save his ex boyfriend before he did something stupid and Stain would probably finish him off anyways once he caught wind.
"I'll see you later, ok?" Izuku said.
Mei watched as he left. She stared down at her work, unmovtiated by the shit storm going on around her. She didn't want Izuku mixed up in the bullshit that was about to happen. Tenya was supposed to come by her new place later but she just told him no. He was very upset but she couldn't tell him she was mad at Tomura for running back to his villainous ex boyfriend.
"I'm too old for this shit..." she groaned.
The shop door opened and Tomura walked in.
"Hey."
She only stared at him.
"Should I go home?" he asked.
"You mean Dabi's? I hardly call that home."
He wrinkled his nose but stayed quiet.
"You have ten builds today. Go ahead and get started."
"Alright."
She got up and went into the break room, slamming the door behind her.

"This is so cool."
Izuku stared at himself. Himiko smiled at him. It was so trippy.
"You know the plan right?"
Himiko cracked her fingers.
"Rob the neighbor three doors down. Which is actually a decoy apartment."
"Damn straight."
Katsuki stared at Izuku.
"Good luck Himiko."
"You didn't tell Mei about you waiting on the roof?"
"Nope."
The hero sighed.
"She's going to kill me. She already threatened me with death."
"She would."
"Let's get this shit started."
After twenty minutes, they came upon Dabi's apartment building. Izuku's swallowed hard. He wanted to scream and kick down their apartment door once he laid eyes on it. He didn't even realize he was grinding his teeth until Katsuki bumped his shoulder giving him a weird look. Himiko handed Izuku an earpiece.
She was him, dressed in all black with a black hat that showed off his green hair. He lent her a copy of his red shoes so it really looked like him. Tomura was no idiot. Izuku wasn't sure this was going to work but once Katsuki explained he paid the whole floor to stay out for night lying that there would be a drug bust, he felt more comfortable. They even placed their own camera in the hall to get pics of Himiko robbing the decoy apartment just in case Tomura and Dabi didn't leave the apartment.
Izuku and Himiko scaled the building quickly with equipment Mei had given them. Once on the roof, she went through the roof top door and disappeared inside. This was it.
Even though this was ploy to get Dabi, Izuku felt uncomfortable with it.

Himiko found the floor she was to be on and she made her way to the third door down. She had been seeing Dabi while Tomura was at work 'plotting' to bring back the League of Villains. She stared at the red shoes given to her. Izuku had explained they had wires that attached to her muscles and would amplify her strength if she needed it too.
Time to get this shit done.
She lifted her foot and kicked in the door, breaking it in half. Her eyes widened. She never felt so much power course through her body before. No matter how many quirks she had taken, this was the most powerful she felt. She grinned evilly and started ransacking the apartment. In the midst of her destroying it, she heard a door open.
Himiko walked to the living room. Dabi stood in the door way with a pissed off look on his face. She smirked at him. The villain did not appreciate that at all.
"Who the fuck do you think you? Some of us are trying to fucking sleep!"
"Do I look like I give a shit?" Himiko said.
"Stupid, cocky bastard!"
Dabi came into the apartment and that was the worse mistake he made. Himiko kicked him in the stomach with enough force to knock him the hallway wall. The villain puked onto the floor.
"You fuck head," he coughed out.
Tomura came out next to see his boyfriend on the floor by a pile of vomit. He went to help Dabi when he locked eyes with Izuku. His heart pounded in his chest. He couldn't move.
"What-
Himiko smirked at him, blew him a kiss and took off at a neck breaking speed.
The plan worked.

"You dumb bitch!" Katsuki screamed.
Himiko stared at him.
"I tried to tell you no fucking contact! You straight broke the damn wall! You're lucky we had people who can fix that shit!"
Izuku ignored their fighting and screaming. He watched the video again. The way Tomura just froze there staring at him- well Himiko as him. After Himiko disappeared from the hallway, he turned and he could see the ex villain's face perfectly. He looked so confused. It looked like Dabi finally got up and he looked pissed.
The ex villain stared into the broken into apartment and looked around like he was trying to figure it out. Dabi then started yelling it looked like and they started arguing. Izuku gripped the arm rest of his chair hoping Dabi wouldn't strike out at him. Tomura's face looked pink and he stormed down the hallway towards the camera. It looked like he was crying or going too.
Izuku stood up stopping Himiko and Katsuki from fighting and headed out of the hero agency without another word.
I didn't want them to fight. What if they actually fight? Tomura can and legally defend himself but if he's caught hanging with Dabi by another hero. What am I going to do?
"Izuku!"
He jumped at hearing his name. It was Ochako.
"H-hi. It's been awhile."
"It has. Have you thought about my offer much?"
Izuku looked away.
"I can't... I can't give an answer right now. Things are rough right now."
She looked disappointed.
"Well, I did come to up my offer. After some serious consideration and talking, I would love for you to be a hero at my agency. A two year program then internship with me."
"Wh-what?"
"So, is that a yes?" she asked with a hopeful smile.
"I... I..."
What did he want?
He stared at her blankly.
"Are you ok?"
"I... Ochako. I can't take it."
She looked shocked for a moment, "Katsuki always said you wanted to be a hero."
"He was right but I don't want that anymore. I love Tomura and if I can't go in being a hero with him then I would rather just be with him. He needs me more than anyone else. Everyone else has you guys. The pro heroes."
"Oh."
"Sorry, Ochako. You're a great hero and I would be honored. I have to decline."
"That's really disappointing."
"Sorry."
He went to walk away but she grabbed his hand.
"Hey... I'm glad you and Katsuki are talking again. You know... When we first got around to talking he had problems telling me things. It was finally revealed he didn't support you enough. That he treated you like a newborn puppy. He pushed me a lot. That's how I became so great. If it wasn't for you, I would've never made it this far."
"I'm glad my emotional suffering helped someone."
She snorted and gave him a playful shove.
"That's not what I meant."
She smiled and hummed.
"You made Katsuki realize not everyone is weak. He became a better person. If he hadn't been a better person, I may have been a subpar hero instead."
Izuku gave her a small smile.
"Well, you're welcome."
"I'll see you around and if you change your mind, you know where to find me."

There was a knock at Dabi's apartment door. Tomura sat up more quickly thinking someone from the police department was coming by to ask about what happened at the apartment three doors down from them the other night. Dabi got up slowly not making a sound and looked through the peek hole in his apartment door. He let out a sigh and unlocked his door.
Once he got the door open, he had a smile on his face.
"Welcome home."
"Whatever. Can I get in now?"
"Yea, come on in."
Tomura stared at Himiko. Her eyes looked weird. They were angry looking and it was enough to make Tomura wish he wasn't there. Dabi moved out of the way to let her. Those sharp yellow eyes, darted towards Tomura and her eyes looked... dark. She sat down across from him, crossing her legs as she stared at him.
If she stays tonight, I will be killed in my sleep. How does he not see she looks mad?
"Want a beer?"
"Hell yea."
She looked at him again but her eyes changed to their usual playfulness.
"I see you two are back together."
"Yup. I got my shit straight. I knew what I wanted and finally got it back."
He kissed Tomura on the cheek. Himiko's eyes flashed dangerously.
"Good. It's about time you stop acting like a fucking idiot."
Dabi chuckled.
"You do sound meaner, I didn't think it was possible."
She rolled her eyes and cracked open her drink.
"What did you want with me tonight anyways?" she asked glancing back at her best friend.
"Just to hang out like old times."
She arched an eyebrow.
"I don't think my boyfriend would approve. Considering you're still a villain."
"That hurts. I think I'm fun."
She cracked a smile but her eyes were screaming something else.
The three of them hung out for hours on end. It was about three in the morning before Himiko staggered out of the apartment while calling for a cab. Tomura offered to take her down and Dabi agreed with her. Tomura slipped an arm around her waist to help keep her up and the two of them made it onto the elevator.
"You alright? You did drink an awful lot."
She glanced at him weirdly, "I'm fine. Just can't walk well."
"Ok."
The elevator opened when it came to the apartment lobby.
"Are you ok with me and Dabi?"
She glared at him.
"I mean, as long you're finally happy right?" she sneered.
She really is drunk.
Even though he thought that, something didn't sound right. Nothing seemed right.
The two of them stayed quiet until the taxi cab showed. Tomura got her in and paid the driver for her trip back to her boyfriend's. Once the taxi drove off, he stood there on the sidewalk. Something made him feel uncomfortable about everything. Something wasn't right. After seeing Izuku the other night and the way Himiko stared at him.
Something screamed at him to leave but he went back inside to the one person he thought he wanted.
