Chapter Twenty: Angel With A Shotgun (by The Cab)

Chapter Summary: Hizashi and Hawks move in on the Omega Trafficking Ring after months of trying to find the location. Dabi gets into a fight with Endeavor. Shouta is adjusting to life with Eri, Dabi, Shoto, and Hitoshi.

It had taken a month of careful and considerate planning as Hizashi and Hawks mobilitized for the biggest mission they have had up to date. Hizashi wasn't exactly sure why Hawks had been the first person he called. He vaguely remembered Dabi telling him something along the lines of Hawks working on a case against his father. That had to be it. Speaking of Dabi, the villain had been M.I.A. completely since he had gone through the warp gate with Eri. Neither him or the rest of the League had heard from him. Hawks mentioned that both him and Eri were safe within U.A. but that was it. The tension was killing him.

He stood still for a moment, just looking at himself in the mirror. It had been so long since he had seen himself dressed like this. His hair was gelled up with his signature yellow sunglasses and headphones. His hands were gloved with his fingerless gloves. He wore his leather jacket, leather pants, and boots along with all of his accessories. And finally, his directional speaker. He hadn't been dressed in this way for months. Not since that day.

He looked like Present Mic again and everything about it felt right. Out of habit, his wallet containing his ID badge from U.A. and hero license resided in his back pocket. A part of him feared going out for this and someone seeing him as Present Mic. Present Mic was a wanted criminal. At the same time, he wanted to do this as his hero persona and not Hizashi Yamada, the son of the man causing all of this pain.

His mind ventured to Shouta for a moment. The Omega's beautiful face appearing before his eyes before he forced himself back to reality. Had Shouta never won the Sports Festival, he wouldn't of ever been involved with him. There were times he wished that he never agreed to go to U.A. but if that happened, he wouldn't have his beautiful children. Even then, his children didn't deserve the pain that he has put them through for his own existance. Shirakumo would still be alive. Shouta would probably be working in a hero agency next to Shirakumo and Kayama. Eri wouldn't of been subjected to the pain and torture at the hands of Overhaul. Hitoshi wouldn't of lost his father. Bakugou would of never of been kidnapped, at least not by his own words.

In the end, all of this stemmed down to Kaede. Hizashi believed with everything he had that she was the brains behind the operation. His father was brute strength but he wasn't exactly the smartest cookie in the jar. He ran off of his Alpha's desires. The desire to mate and create pups but with the lack of protective instinct. The man was possessive and would kill for whatever he wanted.

Hizashi made his way through his apartment, Kaede's journal burning a hole in his pocket, before coming face to face with Hawks. The Winged Hero standing by his window with an unreadable look on his face. So much about Hawks intrigued him. The man was only twenty two, ran his own agency, and was personally trained by the Hero Commission. The same man that was willing to drop everything to help him despite knowing that Hizashi was Kenzou's blood. It could possibly be down to Shoto Todoroki and Touya Todoroki. Or Hawks' heart in general. Hawks was a hard man to understand or even read. A lot of people in the hero world saw Hawks as arrogant but even Hizashi could tell it was a facade. It could possibly be because of Hizashi's own lies but Hawks was probably smarter than even himself despite his high intelligence. Hawks was cunning and far-sighted. He was the perfect man for hero undercover work aside from possibly Shouta who operated the underground.

But there was something else... something that Hizashi couldn't place about Hawks. Hawks didn't react like a normal Alpha would in any aspect. He was too collected and empathetic. Dabi told him about going into an Omega Frenzy and how Hawks had reacted to it. The ash blonde had reacted with words and compassion aside from an Alpha's instinct to dominate and overpower a frenzy.

Everything about the Number Two hero confused him.

"Ready to go, Hawks? It's almost sundown." Hizashi stated, pulling the hero's attention to him.

Golden eyes fixated on him and with a nod of his head, they headed for the door. Hizashi and Hawks had spent the better part of the month tracking down victims within the book and towards the back had been a list of addresses that were unknown. Most of them being abandoned apartment buildings or warehouses. The perfect places to be keeping victims and their children. Hawks suspected that any children born within the ring were kept within the apartment buildings while the Omegas and, in some cases, Betas were in the warehouses.

Hawks, Sir Nighteye, Fat Gum, and Endeavor's agencies had joined together on the case. Hawks' sidekicks and Sir Nighteye's would go for the apartment buildings while Endeavor's and Fat Gum's would raid the warehouses. That left Hawks and Hizashi to get the main house where they believed that Kenzou is recovering and Kaede might be hiding out. Ever since the day Hizashi had rescued Eri alongside the League, Kaede had also vanished.

Within the contents of Kaede's book, they believed that eighty two children were being hidden at the apartment buildings, possibly under the care of some of the Omegas who had been in the ring the longest. The biggest fact that he had seen within the book were Omegas and Betas that either crossed the ring or brought use in other ways had their memories erased and released. However, only one Omega within the book still had their child. Shouta.

Also within the book, Hizashi believed that Minato and at least five other children resided at the main house. It made him sick to his stomach to think that he had six other siblings. From what he gathered, only children sired by Kenzou resided at the main house and were in the care of Shizuka and Kaede. The names echoed through his head and what surprised him had been they were all pro heroes with the exception of two. The pro heroes were all low ranking and only operated in local areas. He had barely recognized their names at first. The one thing they all held in common were the powerful emitter based quirks they had.

Hizashi was going to gut his father if that's the last thing he would ever do.

It had been a month since Dabi and Eri had been warped to U.A. Both of them were making progress in their training. Eri had been working alongside the young heroes to be within Class A and sometimes Class B whenever joint training started to take place. Dabi had been introduced to Vlad's students and the same as his own class, Shouta had told them of his past. Of course Monoma ran his mouth and ended up having to be knocked out cold by Kendo.

They had officially moved into the new house by Heights Alliance just days after its construction. It didn't surprise Shouta a bit that Shoto and Hitoshi both still slept next to him. Eri had found comfort with also curling into his side and going to sleep. Dabi slept in his own room near Shouta's with his door being right next door. In the middle of the night, Shouta would find the former villain in the family room staring at his phone but never using it. He had been given a new phone by Endeavor but had yet to actually use it. The device only contained four numbers: Shouta, Hitoshi, Shoto, and Endeavor. The detectives did tell Dabi that he was able to get in contact with the League to tell them that he was alive but he had yet to do it. Shouta never questioned him on why and partically wondered the reason why he didn't. He thought that it would be connected to the fact that his body had been reverted so any bonds that he held had been reversed.

It didn't surprise him, however, when he found out that Shoto and Dabi had rekindled their familial bond to each other. The two were practically inseperable since his arrival and reveal of his true identity. Dabi had even been made, according to Hitoshi, a member of the Dekusquad. Midoriya had welcomed the former villain with open arms. Oddly enough, such a Midoriya thing to do. It summed down to Shoto and he knew it. Midoriya was courting Shoto so the Alpha would do what he could to comfort his Omega.

Luckily, there hadn't been any serious incidents revolving around Dabi. Dabi and Bakugou would constantly get into a war of words with each other but never activated their quirks against the other unless they were training. Dabi's quirk had so far not given any signs of acting up and the Omega could activate it at will and continually use it. Showing no signs of what they feared. Yet, they still hadn't figured out exactly what happened to him. Shouta's theory ran that Dabi's constitution had been altered. Rather being weak, he thought maybe Eri's quirk had made it stronger. However, with how her quirk acted towards organic matter, it shouldn't of been possible. It should have just reverted Dabi's body back to a teenager.

Eri's progress had been slow going. They didn't want to rush her into anything to severe and her quirk was a dangerous one that they had found. They had discovered it thanks to Midoriya. Midoriya had been injuried during a joint training session and had a large cut up his leg. In what Shouta would define as fear, Eri hugged him and her quirk had activated. The same that he had seen the night with Dabi. His injury had healed but Midoriya had to activate his power and continually break his bones until Shouta had arrived to deactivate her quirk. With Shouta's pregnancy, he was in a different room away from them competely with Vlad King and All Might monitoring had the normal base.

Midoriya had offered himself up in helping Eri control her power since his powers were powerful enough that he would break his bones. It took All Might talking him into it for him to allow Midoriya to do it as well as contacting Inko Midoriya. Inko wasn't pleased but of course, her son talked her into it saying that he had to help this little girl. All Might was also assisting in her training but Shouta wouldn't let him get to far if it came to Eri trying to use her quirk on him. She wasn't ready yet. They had agreed.

U.A.'s Big Three consisting of Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado often stopped by to spent some time with Eri. The three had been apart of the raid team that were meant to go after the Shie Hassaikai before the League had gotten involved. Togata had met Eri before alongside Midoriya on their work study. Shouta knew that the third year felt guilt over letting her return with Chisaki but he didn't condemn him for his actions. Sir Nighteye's agency was working on taking down the Hassaikai when they discovered her existence.

To Shouta, it seemed like fate knew that Eri belonged with him. Nighteye had stated if Eri's rescue had been taken place by the heroes, she would of still been brought to U.A. under his watch due to his quirk and her quirk's instability.

Shoto's mental state was still unstable as well. The teenager still sitting out of training classes but working alongside Shouta and All Might after school to make sure that he remained caught up with his classes. Every time the teenager tried to train with his classmates, he would be sent into an anxiety attack. The boy wasn't getting nightmares as much anymore but Shouta did notice quickly how whenever Endeavor would visit the campus that his nightmares would intensify. He also noticed that he would go into panic attacks whenever Endeavor showed up or left. A large part of Shouta wondered if something more happened within the Todoroki household that Shoto wasn't letting on.

He had discovered the physical abuse clouded as training and the mental and emotional abuse at the hands of Endeavor. The neglect of his other children as well as abuse to Shoto and his mother. With the information he could gather from Dabi, he had filed for permenant custody turned adoption of Shoto. When Endeavor found out, he hadn't said a word about it but rather signed the paper to do so. Dabi, All Might, and Midnight had all been present when Tsukauchi and his lawyer gave over the paperwork. Tsukauchi had given him an ultimatium, sign over his rights and allow the adoption to go through or he would be facing jail time and he would have both Dabi and Shoto as witnesses as well as bringing in Rei from the hospital.

Endeavor still stopped by the campus from time to time but never announced his presence to Shoto or even Touya. He stopped by to talk to Shouta and that was it. Shoto's inheritence was still intact and Endeavor still paid for him financially despite the fact that Shouta didn't need the help. Coming from money himself and having saved up every dime within his life. He could easily pay for all of his students and kids plus some. Money wasn't a problem for him.

His problem children that were his students surprisingly were more well behaved lately. Midoriya, Asui, Uraraka, Tokoyami, and Kirishima continued to do their work studies. All five of them being cleared by U.A. and the hero commission to continue their work studies at their chosen agencies. Midoriya with Sir Nighteye. Asui and Uraraka with Ryukyu. Kirishima with Fat Gum and Tokoyami with Hawks. It gave him some relief knowing that his problem children were alongside the Big Three and the Number Two hero. The newest case for three of them left them to stay at U.A. with the agencies they were working for working on the case against Kenzou which Shouta quickly put his foot down too. All three pro heroes understood immediately and put them on temporary leave until the case was finished. From what he heard from Nighteye, there was going to be a raid of the locations that the the ring were suspected to operate in.

Shouta sighed as he leaned back in his office chair. His hand laying over the swell of his stomach. He still had about three months left of his pregnancy. He had been attending all of his required appointments with Recovery Girl since U.A. and the police agreed that he shouldn't leave campus unless he absolutely has too. His pregnancy was going smoothly and no complications so far other than the dizzy spells he got from time to time.

He turned his head, looking at a picture hanging on the wall. The picture was taken by Toshinori of him, Hitoshi, Eri, Shoto, and Touya. None of them had noticed that the former hero had taken the picture until Toshinori gave it to him. A small smile lingered on his face.

This was his new start.

"God, why does hair dye always stink?" Dabi stated, curling up his nose as Ashido applied the rest of it to the back of his head. He had been itching to redye his hair black ever since his body got reverted back to that of his teenage years. In irony, he was still taller than Shoto. He did miss his height though. He had always been so small as a child and pre-teen years. He was sure he would get it back though. Asui had picked up the box of hair dye for him on her way back from a work study which he now loved the frog girl for. She just told him that he looked uncomfortable and constantly tried to hide his hair.

The pink skinned girl giggled at him as she worked the dye through his hair. "Of course it does." She replied. They were in the girls' shower rooms. Yaoyorozu and Uraraka were also in there with them. None of the girls minded since Ashido had announced that they were dying his hair in there. He had already told them a few weeks prior that he leaned more towards guys with his attractions. The girls were beautiful but he was still had his mind of an adult. He would never go as far as to make them uncomfortable.

"I definitely like the black hair better than the red. It suits you." Uraraka stated, swining her legs from where she was sitting on the sink counter. "Maybe that's because I'm used to seeing you as Dabi with the black hair instead of Touya with the red hair."

Yaoyorozu gave him a small look. "Did you originally dye your hair cause your family thought you were dead?" The girl asked.

Dabi returned her look but was careful not to move his head. Ashido would probably throw acid on the back of his neck if he tried. So far, he learned this girl is very picky when it comes to giving makeovers. Normally, he had Toga help him with this for the parts of his head he couldn't reach. "Partically. Red hair and blue eyes is a trait of the Todoroki family." He paused, looking back at his reflection. He had been told about Shoto's mental breakdown about his scar and Dabi now understood. Every time he looked in the mirror, he didn't see himself anymore. All he saw was the kid who was too weak to take on his father. Who's quirk was too strong but a body that was too weak. He actually missed his scars. At least then he didn't have to worry about what his quirk did to him. His quirk just burned his already ruined skin. "I had been wanting to dye my hair for years before the incident. When I would look in the mirror... all I saw was that bastard. Red hair. Blue eyes. Mom had dumped boiling water on Shoto's face because of his left side looking like him. I guess that was the final straw for me. For all of it." He stated.

At this point, he wouldn't be surprised if Shoto dyed his hair so he could look like Aizawa. He no longer had his scar but the only difference would be his dual colored eyes. Aizawa had gone through the process and had officially adopted Shoto a few weeks ago after Tsukauchi practically blackmailed Endeavor into it. Which made Dabi feel a lot better. Endeavor had no more legal standing over Shoto and legally not him either. He is twenty five years old biologically and mentally even if he didn't look it anymore physically.

Yaoyorozu nodded before smiling at him. "From the time that you've been here, I can say with confidence that you are nothing like Endeavor."

Dabi snorted. "Because I was a villain."

Yaoyorozu shook her head. "It's not that. Yeah, you were the villain known as Dabi but the more we interact with you. The more we see just how much you care about your siblings. Your mom. How you actually wanted to help people before you reached your breaking point." She explained.

The former villain sighed softly. "That doesn't excuse anything I did."

Yaoyorozu giggled. "Of course it doesn't but you told Endeavor yourself that you are going to be the person you want to be." She paused for a moment, kneeling down so Dabi wouldn't have to continue to look up to her. "The entire time you've been here, you haven't attempted to attack any of us once. You let Bakugou release his frustrations on you. I don't think you are as much of a villain as you let on." She finished.

"FINISHED!" Ashido announced before Dabi could reply to the Class Deputy. "Now it has to stay on for twenty five minutes and you will wash it out and done!"

Dabi turned his head and smiled at her. "Thanks, Ashido."

Ashido grinned at him. "So who did your hair before?"

"Himiko."

Uraraka's face flushed over. "As in Himiko Toga?" Dabi nodded. "Oh wow. I wasn't expecting that."

Dabi chuckled. "Himiko is... was my friend. We met on the streets before we went to the League together. We just stuck together." He sighed as he leaned against his arms on the back of the chair. "Himiko might be the craziest bitch I've ever met but she's like me."

Uraraka gave him a confused look. "What do you mean?"

Dabi took in a deep breath. "Himiko's family hated her because of her quirk. When her quirk manifested... she ended up with an obsession with blood. Which you probably figured out from the camp... but I can't really blame her. Her quirk literally has her drink blood." He paused for a moment, remembering when Toga had broken down in front of him and told him the story of what happened with her family and ultimately school. "Her parents abused her... severely. Wanted her to be normal. Whatever you want to call that in our society. She quickly became an outcast... bullied for her quirk... until she killed a classmate. She went on the run and we just happened to bump into each other. Literally."

Uraraka nodded, a sad look coming over her face. "So she connects blood with who she likes too? She mentioned that at the camp."

Dabi smiled at her. "As weird as it is, yeah. She likes to say she wants to become the person she loves. Cause technically, she can. She just needs their blood." He paused, smirking at the girl. "She has a crush on Stain, Midoriya, and you."

Uraraka's face completely flushed as she waved her arms around almost comically. "What?"

Dabi let out a hearty laugh. "Don't worry, it's just a crush. Himiko is actually a really sweet and caring girl if you ever got the chance to get to know her. I miss her if I'm being honest."

"So is the League like a pack or something?" Ashido questioned, the curiousity on her face.

"Yeah, we are. Well, they are. I don't feel my bonds to them anymore." Dabi muttered, leaning his chin on his crossed arms. "Himiko and I had a bond before we joined the League. Kurogiri and Tomura had one too. We all just kinda mixed in together following the raid on the bar. Detective Tsukauchi and Aizawa's dad told me that I could contact them to tell them I'm alive if I wanted too but I can't bring myself to do it." He added.

Yaoyorozu gave him a soft look. "Why can't you? We all understand the pack dynamics. Class A has been a pack since the USJ thanks to sensei actually. We just kinda bonded together."

Dabi felt tears come to his eyes. "I never told any of them who I really was. Not even Himiko. I can't face them knowing that I lied to them for so long. I guess if I talk to any of them... I would want it to be her. She was the one who was always by my side through everything."

Ashido kneeled down on his other side with a smile. "Why don't you? I'm sure she would rather hear from you and know that you are alive than believe that you might be dead. Bonds seperations can be emotionally draining. We watched Hitoshi and sensei go through it." She said softly.

Dabi sighed. "I suppose you're right."

The timer on Ashido's phone dinged, signifying that the time had passed for his hair which they backed away from him as he stood up and starting towards the door. "I'm going to shower in the boys locker room. I feel weird in here." He paused completely and turned to face them and gave them a soft smile. "Thank you. All of you."

The three girls just smiled at him as he turned and walked out of the showers and started for the boys. The hall was empty as the rest of the class were in the common room and the showers were empty as he arrived.

His mind wondered as he stripped out of his clothes, careful with his hair not to touch the clothing before stepping underneath the lukewarm spray. He tried to shoo away the memories and thoughts as his mind ventured to the League. Tomura had been the Alpha who helped him through heats despite the fact that he has been infertile and gave no chance to giving Tomura a pup. They had a love, hate relationship together that had started from hatred to each other before it developed into something else. Dabi didn't love him but had been loyal to a fault to him. Toga was basically his sister. He had a biological sister but he had always treasured his bond with Toga. His relationship with Twice was similar to that of Toga's. He had been close to Natsu growing up and Twice had managed to wiggle his dual personality life into his. Mr. Compress was a good friend of his and he had been beyond angry when his arm had been taken. Him and Spinner had a love, hate relationship like fighting siblings. Kurogiri was basically the group's father figure. Tomura was basically the fussy child you had to keep happy. Magne had been the big sister of the group. Thus her nickname. Her death had affected all of them. Dabi had voted for them to kill Overhaul and he wasn't sure if Overhaul was dead or alive. He at least hoped they managed to inflict some pain on him at least.

Rather than being at the League, now he was at U.A. posing as a hero course student. He wasn't here to get a hero license and he had no intentions of getting one. He didn't want one. He would rather go back to the League than join the case of the Hero Commission who clearly had to of known about Endeavor's past with his family and didn't care. The hospital knew but everything was covered up. He would rather kill Endeavor himself and go to jail than become a hero.

But at the same time, he wanted to carve his own path and change hero society. He wanted to create his own future with the second chance that had been given to him. He could ask Aizawa if he could go for a hero license since his alias as Dabi was dead in the eyes of the world. He had seen the announcement himself. The Hero Commission had announced his death a few days after the League attacked the Shie Hassaikai. He could recreate himself. He had at one pointed wanted to be a hero but he was lost. He wasn't sure what to do anymore.

He sighed as he finally got the rest of the dye out of his hair and switched off of the water. He grabbed a nearby towel and ran it through his wet hair and over his body. He activated his quirk just enough that the heat radiated over his body and finished drying himself. He slipped back on the clothes that he had been wearing before since he didn't have a chance to get new clothes since Ashido practically dragged him into the girls locker room to do his hair.

He stopped at the mirror as he went to exit out of the showers and smiled to himself. He felt a bit more like himself down seeing the black spikey hair on him within his reflection. He placed his towel onto a nearby hook to dry before heading completely out of the room and starting for the common room.

It didn't take him long to get to the room but he stopped completely when he heard the range of voices echoing out. "What are you doing here, bastard?!" Bakugou shouted, followed by a couple of pops from small explosions that were probably just within Bakugou's palms.

"You need to leave. What do you even want with us? You have no reason to be here? Do you have some new obsession with sensei or something?" It was Midoriya.

"You aren't supposed to be in Heights Alliance." Iida added.

If Iida was going against whoever it was, Dabi knew it was bad. He rounded the corner, his guard up and stopped in a stand still as his hands landed on the form of Endeavor. His anger flared. He had seen the countless panic attacks that Shoto had whenever he was near and Dabi had a gut feeling on what it was. Shoto wouldn't talk about it but he was sure it was something terrible.

He briefly tore his eyes away from Endeavor to look for Shoto, to find him clinging to Hitoshi. More so Hitoshi's back. The fear was etched on Shoto's face as he tried everything to hide himself away.

"I'm his father." Endeavor simply stated.

That made Dabi's anger flare high enough that his quirk activated in his hands. "No you fucking aren't. Shouta is his father in every sense. Even on paper." Dabi growled. The hero turned to face him. Gone was the facade that he had put on before and returned was the same cold, merciless eyes from before.

I fucking knew it.

"Oh isn't it my villain of a son. Got some more words for me?" Endeavor snarked.

Dabi's vision was blinded red as he launched himself forward and his first connected with Endeavor's jaw. The force behind the punch knocked the hero completely off of his feet. The rest of his classmates were left in a stunned silence as Dabi effectively pinned the much larger man by hooking his feet on his legs. The former villain swung wildly, each fist hitting its target.

"Don't. fucking. call. me. that." His words cut off with each blow. "If anyone is a villain, it's you! You ruined our family. Used mom as your own personal birthing machine until you got Shoto." He screamed as Endeavor attempted to throw him off but by pure adrenaline, Dabi managed to keep him down. "I fucking hate you with everything I have. You are the reason I went to the League. The reason I almost died. The reason that mom is in the hospital. The reason that Shoto has nightmares." His voice raising higher as he felt his knuckles break open. "He reacts worse to you than he did with Kane and that bastard raped him!"

"TOUYA! STOP IT!" Shoto screamed. Dabi completely froze as he looked down at the beat form that was his father. Endeavor's nose was crooked and blood pouring down his face. His cheek now had a gash on it and his lip busted open. The former villain pulled away, looking at his now bloodied hands. He got off of Endeavor, who pushed himself off of the floor and leveled a glare on him.

"You expect Aizawa to let you continue to stay here after that." Endeavor cackled, wiping his bloody lip with the back of his hand. "Shoto knows how to be a good boy. You obviously don't."

Dabi growled. "What exactly do you mean by good boy?" Looking through the corner of his eye to see Shoto completely go tense. "What did you do?" He activated his quirk in his hand, grabbing Endeavor by the front of his shirt and pulling him down to eye level. Endeavor's face didn't waver but the look in his eye gleamed. "What the fuck did you do?! I will fucking kill you."

"No, you won't." The new voice made Dabi jump for a second before he relaxed. "Touya will remain within my class and you have no say. I made sure of that within the paperwork you signed when I adopted Shoto." Shouta stated, walking - waddling - up to Endeavor and Dabi. "Now, get the fuck out of my dorms and out of this school. Shoto is my son and Touya is too."

Dabi's eyes widened as he turned his head to look back to Shouta. Shouta didn't legally have guardianship over him since he was legally an adult but he did have the rights to his welfare. Dabi pulled away from Endeavor with a scuff. A second later, Shoto's arms were wrapped around him. He moved his arms to bring Shoto closer to him.

Endeavor growled slightly before starting for the door. "Oh and Endeavor?" Shouta said, forcing the hero to stop and look at him. "If you step one foot into Heights Alliance again, I will have your hero license revoked for disobeying the rules of the adoption. That you signed. Shoto doesn't have to see you unless he wants to."

Endeavor didn't say anything to him before he was out the door and down the steps under Shouta's watchful eye. Dabi felt the dread fill him as the common room went completely silent. Shouta let out a heavy sigh as he rubbed a hand over his stomach and turned to face Dabi. "Next time, call me and I will handle it."

Dabi blinked. "What?"

Shouta gave him a look. "You heard me. Call me next time so I can throw his ass in jail. I never liked him. This whole nice guy act is creepy." He paused, turning his gaze to Shoto. "Is there something you need to tell me? That I need to know about?" Shoto looked up to Dabi for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let's go."

Shoto pulled away from Dabi and followed Shouta out the door of the dorms. Dabi was left stomped as he looked back over to the others. The rest of them also left just as stomped as him. He was sure that would of cost him everything. But it would of been worth it.

Katsuki was the first to step forward, grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him towards the kitchen. "We have to fix up those hands. We still have more fighting to do." The blonde paused for a second and smirked at him. "That was badass." He stated before pulling Dabi the rest of the way towards where they kept the first aid kit.

They had managed to break into the house in complete silence. Hawks had used his feathers for any signs of life within the building. Counting nine people in total within the confinements of the walls. Hawks moved silently throughout the building, his feathers moving around to signal him when needed. He had his coms in his ear hiding underneath his headphones so him and Hizashi could contact each other. Hizashi had already called in to him saying that he found four of the two children and gotten them out of the house safely where some of Hawks' sidekicks were waiting.

Hawks rounded one of the corners, pausing at a large door where one of his feathers floated in the air. The door was cracked slightly as he peered in, he was able to spot two small children. One with blonde spikey hair and the other with long white hair. He carefully pushed against the door, stepping in as quietly as possible. The children looked up at him, both of them looking at him. The blonde had sparkling blue eyes while the other had a greyish-brown colored eyes.

The Winged Hero placed a finger over his lips in signal for them to be quiet. He kneeled down in front of them, his eyes venturing over them to check for any signs of injuries. He sighed in relief as he couldn't see any physically. "C'mon, let's get you out of here." He muttered softly. The children complied with him easily as he started for the window where he would send them down with his feathers. "My name is Hawks. What's yours?" He questioned as he got to the window.

The blonde looked at him. The blonde appeared to be the oldest, standing over a foot taller than the white haired child. "Minato." He replied.

So this one is Dabi's son.

Hawks looked over to the other child. "Koyuki." The child whispered.

"It's nice to meet you two. Now we are going to play a little game. My feathers here are going to let you fly and you are going to go see some of my friends, okay?" Both of the children nodded to him as he opened up the window, his feathers flying around him as the children watched in awe. The feathers got them by the back of their shirts and they went out the window and disappeared from sight.

Hawks let out a sigh of relief as he pulled himself onto the window seal. He paused for a moment as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He went to jump but was stopped as he felt his body get jerked back and he went crashing to the floor.

A foot landed on his neck, cutting off his airway. He clawed at the shoe as a round of chuckles filled his ears. The person bent down, smiling at him with a sadistic grin.

"Ken..zou.." He muttered as he forced himself to talk.

Kenzou stood above him, looking healthier than ever. "Oh, I've caught myself a hero." The villain stated, his eyes glowing green. Hawks leveled a glare on him as he attempted to move but was stopped by Kenzou's other foot standing on his wing. Kenzou kneeled completely down, a needle in hand as his face cracked bigger. "Say goodnight, Keigo Takami."

Hawks' eyes went wide as his birth name slipped off of Kenzou's tongue with ease. "How..." He didn't get to finish as a needle poked into the flesh of his neck and his eyes started to close.

"I've waited so long for this day." Kenzou's last words rang through his ears just as he reached unconciousness.
