Todoroki had lost Izuku in the mall.

Appreciate you all! ~BP

I kid, I kid. I just left this idea open for soooooo long that I had to make a joke about it…

Todoroki had lost Izuku in the mall.

"I'm dead. Literally, so dead when Aizawa-sensei finds out about this." Todoroki muttered, checking the bathroom stalls frantically. He accidentally opened a door that wasn't locked, and, well, that was mentally scarring.

He checked the food court, and the kids' toy store, and the Build-a-Bear, and the Hot Topic, and the anime store, and the…

Todoroki was contemplating whether it was worth it to go into the Victoria's Secret when a tiny body collided with his legs. "Todo!"

Todoroki quickly scooped Izuku up. "Please don't run away small human, dying via angry father is not how I want to go out."

Izuku giggled. "Look what I found!" He showed Todoroki a round rubber ball. "It bounces!" Izuku explained, dropping the ball.

Todoroki felt his heart stop as the child dropped the bouncy ball. The ball hit the floor and shot out into the mall. Izuku wiggled out of Todoroki's arms and chased after it.

"No- Izuku!" Todoroki jerked forward to grab Izuku, to prevent him from being lost in the crowd again, then immediately froze. Izuku had crashed into a stranger's - no, this wasn't a stranger. Fuckfuckfuck.

Scarred arms scooped up the toddler and handed him the ball, whispering a "don't drop it again". Ocean blue eyes flicked from the little bean sprout to Todoroki.

Todoroki's eyes went wide as, for a second, his mind flashed to his father's eyes, and the next second, he recognized this man, this man was one of the villains-

Todoroki would have done something, anything, if it hadn't been for the ft that they were in a public area.

"Todoroki Shoto." Dabi greeted. "An odd place to meet again, but as the Americans say, it's a small world."

"Yeah, sure." Todoroki's voice stayed even. "Thank you for catching him." he held his arms out expectantly.

Dabi smirked. "Don't lose the kiddo again. Next time, you won't be getting him back." Dabi handed Izuku back over to Todoroki.

"I won't," Todoroki sighed in relief. He hadn't expected Dabi to actually give Izuku back. "But don't think we'd just let you villains take him."

Dabi rolled his eyes. "Sure." he started walking away. He gave one of those anime half-waves. "Say hi to Dad for me."

Todoroki's brain short-circuited.

You can pry Todoroki!Dabi from my cold, dead hands.

Thank you for all of your reviews! Sorry about the late chapter, but as I said before, I went camping last weekend. There was no Internet connection.

SO! If you happen to be reading this, I have a very important question: what should Izuku's quirk be? Please keep in mind his bio-father in AfO and his bio-mom is Inko.

Your choices:

Able to steal quirks from a distance (Inko and AfO

Temporarily steals quirk if he doesn't blink (AfO and Aizawa

Simple pull things toward him (Inko)

Tears (kind of joke in fandom/legitimate theory)

Healing and Youth (AfO, basically Izuku has a healing quirkand ages slowly)

Quirkless

So vote! If you have other suggestions, do tell. I have final say, but I am easily swayed. It's a flaw of mine. Every vote counts, democracy and all that!

If you have anything you want to see, tell me in a PM or review! Though it may take time, I'm kinda swamped…

Appreciate you all! ~BP
