Love The Way You Lie
Author's Note: So this chapter picks up directly after the end of the last chapter! Half of this chapter had already been written by the time I posted the last one. I split the chapters in two because of how long the other one got. So the last chapter was showcasing more of Dabi/Touya. This one will be Shoto/Eri/Hitoshi/Hawks. Cause I can't just not show you what happened with Hawks. Eri was actually supposed to happen last chapter but with how long it got, I split it. So it will be here. I'm doing Shoto and Shouta's conversation first followed by a small scene between Bakugou and Katsuki and then it will be her. It will also clear everything up regarding Eri. Hers will explain what happened during the time skip and what she's been up too. I didn't forget our precious cinnabun! I promise!
Additional Notes: It was mentioned in the comments but Eri's scars. My dudes, I forgot she had physical scarring from the experiments from Overhaul. I was already to the last chapter (the one before this one) when I was rereading the manga and I remembered she had scars. So in this, she doesn't have the physical scars cause her quirk just reversed them in this. I feel like it's already to late to fix this but she does still have a lot of psychological scars.
Also, I am doing a rewrite of this fic! It will be under a different name but it will follow a bit closer to my original idea for this fic but this fic will remain up and I'm going to finish it. It's actually going to have quite a bit of changes to it. Including the biological child of Hizashi and Shouta. I'm also doing a "what if" version if Hizashi hadn't decided to change from villainy.
So much is going to be happening in this chapter. I'm ready to get my head ripped off in the comments. Author has no regrets though.
WARNING THIS CHAPTER GETS DARK AND ANGSTY!

Chapter Twenty One: You Haven't Seen The Last of Me (by Cher)
Chapter Summary: Shouta and Todoroki have a talk following Endeavor's departure. Eri's still clouded by Overhaul's influence on her as Shouta and Class A try to help her. Endeavor and Shouta have a talk regarding Touya and Shoto. Meanwhile, Hawks is at the hands of Kenzou.
The two walked in silence as they started for the new house. Shoto was still trembling next to him as Shouta peered over to him. Shouta severely hoped his suspicions were false and this talk with Shoto would clear any of it. He still had to reprimand Touya later for acting out against Endeavor but that could wait until Shoto was completely calmed down. Endeavor was sent off of campus and Touya would be taken care of by the others or himself. Shoto was his concern in that moment.
Hitoshi had sent him a message that Endeavor wanted to see Shoto and showed up at Heights Alliance and he had been too late to stop any confrontation between the eldest Todoroki child and their father. He had caught Endeavor's words right before he had made his presence known. He had heard the entire conversation between Endeavor and his students thanks to Hitoshi's quick thinking of putting him on a call while it was going down. He had just came through the entrance after the fight had stopped by Shoto's screams. Endeavor's words haunted him.
"Shoto knows how to be a good boy. You obviously don't." Those words could mean a number of things but his mind instantly went to the worst possible case scenrio. And that terrified him.
He could understand why his students were cautious with allowing Endeavor to be near either Shoto or Touya. Touya had recounted a short version of their past to them. It was no secret to him that his students carried the bonds of a pack. They would protect their own, even if that person meant no ill intentions.
Endeavor had hurt Shoto in the past and Shoto's therapy had been bringing up the old, buried memories of Endeavor's abuse to him. His father had warned him that he could possibly react to Endeavor until they got through the new form of therapy. He had tried to warn Endeavor before not to announce his presence to Shoto without him present in the case if he were to have one of these reactions. Shoto had been reliving all of his past abuse and Endeavor standing before him at that time wasn't going to help him heal. Endeavor didn't understand it as much. With what he had found out from the hospital where Rei resides, Endeavor visits the hospital but doesn't physically see his wife to keep her from spiralling in her mental health. Endeavor didn't see it was nearly the same situation with his son.
Endeavor's presence alone could of caused distress to linger off of his son and his classmates had reacted. He hadn't been there to see exactly what happened and he didn't question his class. He just needed to get Endeavor away for the moment and he probably did it in the cruelest way possible for the new Number One. He could see the internal battle that Endeavor was having with himself. He knew about Endeavor's past of neglect and the abuse. With how he was reacting now, it was clear to him that Endeavor was trying for some form of atonement.
"So, what happened in there?" Shouta questioned, finally cutting through the silence.
Shoto sighed softly, wrapping his arms around himself. It was common to see on the teenager lately. He was trying to sheild himself from the world. "It just happened so quickly. My father came through the door and I just froze. Next thing I knew, Bakugou was out of his chair and in his face. He wanted to talk to me... the others wouldn't let him by and that voice he used... I just couldn't move." Shoto whispered.
"Voice?" Shouta questioned.
Shoto nodded. "That Alpha voice. He wasn't... angry until they wouldn't let him near me."
"Then Touya came in the room." Shoto nodded. Shouta hummed softly. "He most of been egging him on to see what he would do. He was already annoyed with you students so he lashed out at the best possible target." The teacher muttered.
Shoto nodded. "I think he just wanted to see me... I don't think I can see him yet. With Dr. Shinsou, everything is coming back. He said a good support system would help. He said that my father could trigger more of these memories while I'm trying to get past it. I guess... I just reacted to my father."
Shouta sighed softly, reaching over and putting his arm around the teenager's shoulder. "It's okay. You've gone through a trauma and with what happened in your past, therapy is bringing that back to the forefront of your mind." The teacher paused for a moment. "I was harsh with Endeavor back there cause he needs to know for you to fully heal and want that relationship with him... he needs to back off of you for now."
Tears came to Shoto's eyes as he leaned into his adoptive father. "I had wanted him near me all those times after what happened to me... I don't understand why it changed now."
Shouta pulled the teenager tighter against himself. "You are his son still. Endeavor had been there for you when you needed him. Since we are trying to help you cope with all of this, your inner Omega is working as a defense mechanism until then. Right now, your Omega is seeing him as a threat to your mental health so reacting the way you are isn't uncommon. It's a natural reaction when old memories come forward."
Shoto pulled his face away from Shouta's shoulder to look the older man in the eyes. "So this won't last forever?"
Shouta smiled at him and shook his head. "No, it won't. I know you will overcome any obstacle in your way. What you have been feeling, it's temporary. You have to recover. From all of it. Taking Endeavor out of the equation while you are feeling from his actions was the rational thing to do. Once you deem yourself ready, I will call Endeavor and let him see you. I'm not keeping you from him if you do want to see him. He still is your father no matter if the law says you are mine now." The man explained. "Shoto, it is your decision if you want to let him continue to be in your life. My adoption of you had been the best option for him as well as for you. He would of been facing serious charges for his abusive nature to your family. He still needed to face the consequences of his actions. With All Might retired... the world needs him. I might not like Endeavor and him being nice is the weirdest thing on the planet right now. I do think he's trying to change himself. He's just got years of memories to try and overcome himself."
Shoto smiled slightly at him. "You think so?"
Shouta nodded with a hum. "I also think what he said to Touya the night they came face to face for the first time... I think he was sincere but tonight he had been angry and reacted to seeing Dabi. Not Touya."
"His hair?" Shoto questioned to which Shouta made a noise of confirmation.
Shouta sighed, pulling away and putting his more serious face on. "But that isn't why I pulled you out here. Shoto, I heard what Endeavor said at the end of the fight." Once again Shoto tensed. "I'm going to be blunt. Did Endeavor touch you inappropriately or assault you in any way?"
The tears that had been in Shoto's eyes spilled over. "I don't know. He would call me that whenever he would use commands on me..." The teenager's voice dropped to almost a whisper. "He would command me but I can't remember anything after he used them... but he would call me a 'good boy' and tell me I did good. He told me it was training to keep myself from falling victim to an Alpha... but I don't remember anything so I don't know."
Shouta nodded. "From what you remember, was there any indication you can think of that would represent it. Pain in your lower areas. Fluids?"
Shoto shook his head. "I know my body would be in pain but it usually happened while we were training so I already hurt but I didn't feel any different. It didn't hurt." The teenager stated.
"Do you think he did?"
Shoto swallowed the lump in his throat. "I don't think so. He had always been so adament about me remaining a virgin until I found the right Alpha. He told me that I would just know cause my inner Omega would agree."
Shouta hummed. "That's actually good advice. It would be best if you mentioned this to Dr. Shinsou. I've heard of Alpha commands causing memory loss in some cases but that also means anything could of happened in that time. It's usually caused when a Beta or Omega is trying to fight back against it and it messes with the memory of it. So to be safe, I'll call Dr. Nakamura and have him go through one of those with out to be sure. Do you remember the last time it happened?"
Shoto nodded. "Maybe a month after I started here but before the training camp." Shoto eyed the man for a moment.
"I have a feeling that it was a form of training. Back when you were in Recovery Girl's office before you met Dr. Nakamura... Endeavor had been beyond furious to find out that you had been assaulted." Shouta paused for a moment, returning Shoto's gaze. "I also think that this might be what is causing you to be so timid around your father. With your past trauma with him coming back for your recovery and those times being almost non-existent, it's making you react in fear to him." Shouta hummed for another moment before giving his adoptive son a smile. "Let's go get Eri."
Shoto nodded. His mind flooding with the thoughts of their conversation. Could the Alpha commands his father used on him just of been training and his mind was making his body react differently? Or the words that Endeavor used made it seem worse then it possibly was? The teenager took in a deep breath. He needed to know and Dr. Nakamura hopefully had the ability to help him. From his time at U.A., Shouta was hardly wrong when it came to his instincts. On the other note, he hadn't been present when Endeavor had been notified of his miscarriage. Shouta had been there with him so the Omega teacher would know his reaction better than him.
"Hey, um..." Shoto's voice made Shouta stop in his tracks. "We... um all of us... were wondering if we could have a sleepover in the common room and maybe have Eri join us."
Shouta eyed him for a second before nodding.

Bakugou wasn't saying a word as he pulled out the first aid kit and grabbed some ice from the freezer. Dabi sat in an awkward silence as he cradled his injuried hand. The blonde stayed silent as he walked over and pulled the former villain's hand toward him and started to clean the opened up skin.
"This was my fault." Bakugou finally broke the silence as he grabbed the bandages and bandaged up Dabi's knuckles and placed the ice over the bandaged skin.
"What are you talking about?" Dabi questioned, holding onto the ice as Bakugou pulled away.
Bakugou sighed, his back turned to Dabi as he packed up the kit away. "Endeavor came in and just asked to speak to Shoto for a moment. Said it could happen in front of all of us." He paused for a moment, bracing his hands on the counter. "Icyhot just froze and his face... I've only seen that look once and I reacted to it. Everyone just kinda followed me in trying to get him to leave. Endeavor kept insisting to speak to Todoroki but we lashed out. Endeavor didn't lash out until we got aggressive."
Dabi nodded. "Then I came in and it just broke the dam basically."
"Yeah. I wasn't expecting Endeavor to call you a villain."
The Omega sighed. "I could ignore my old man calling me a villain. I was one but Shoto looked terrified. I just got so angry." Dabi replied.
"I should of just let Endeavor talk to him. It's not your fault. If I hadn't of gotten into Endeavor's face, this probably wouldn't of happened." Bakugou whispered.

Eri had been terrified since the minute she had arrived at U.A. The girl plagued with nightmares of her time with Kai Chisaki and the Shie Hassaikai. Shouta would get to sick to his stomach as he learned more information of her time with the yakuza. The girl had been subjected to experiments over her quirk and her own flesh and blood being used to great quirk destroying bullets. Even the non-finished product had been used against Tamaki Amajiki and Kirishima while they were on a patrol with Fat Gum. Amajiki, luckily, had regained his quirk after sleeping off the effects overnight. The bullet that went for Kirishima had bounced off of him thanks to his hardening.
From the raid on the Hassaikai headquarters, Sir Nighteye had found and confiscated what was believed to be the finished product. Fat Gum's agency had analyzed the bullets from both the incident from his patrol and from the headquarters. The analysis came back that it was indeed from Eri.
Shouta noticed quite quickly that she didn't smile and even when she tried, she would immediately break down into tears. His sweet little girl couldn't even smile because of Chisaki. He had read the entire report from the findings of the battle between the League of Villains and Shie Hassaikai. According to one of the yakuza members, Hari Kurono, the League had came for them in revenge of an incident between them previously. Magne had perished during the fight due to Overhaul's quirk and Mr. Compress had lost one of his arms. It was revenge for the villains. Shouta, in all honesty, didn't blame the League for their retaliation against the yakuza. From reports, the League were a pack and from Dabi's words, they had created bonds together following the raid at the bar.
At the same time, the League had agreed to work with Hizashi to rescue Eri. Eri's whereabouts had been confirmed by Kaede. Which terrified Shouta. It also confirmed so much for him.
From watching Eri's interactions with his students and with Dabi, it was clear that her quirk was powerful but also dangerous since it wasn't properly trained. Eri was lost and no idea of how to control herself or her quirk. So, Shouta decided to keep her close. Eri attended classes with him and would work alongside All Might while he watched on with the rest of his class. Nemuri had also agreed to attend his classes with him in the case if Eri needed him.
He could see the fear in her eyes. The uncertainty. There were nights that she would wake up screaming in terror and cry for hours on end. Chisaki had called her a cursed child. It made anger flare up within in him hearing the words come from the small child. She was terrified of her own power.
With the incident with Dabi and reversing his body back to the state of a teenager. It was clear to him that had he not of arrived, Dabi would probably of been reversed right out of existence. Eri's quirk was the power to rewind. She could rewind anything she touches back to a previous state. Within the few moments between Dabi and Eri being warped from the yakuza headquarters and U.A, she had reversed Dabi's body back by ten years.
It broke his heart as he heard her apologize for her actions. Those actions being involuntary actions. With the instability of her quirk, he knew that they had to figure out what was activating the power. From observations, he and the rest of the staff along with his father had deducted that her horn was the source of her power. It had grown smaller over the first few weeks of being at U.A. before an incident with Midoriya had taken place.
They were at one of the various training grounds. This specific training ground being the one that All Might had used during his first class back from internships. The students not involved within the matches remained on the platform near the entrance to the training ground. All Might, Vlad King, Class B students, and Eri were present on the platform.
Class A and Class B had been divided in teams to verse one another in training scenarios. Shoto continued to sit out, finding his emotions and judgement still unsafe to fight against his fellow students, remained next to Eri. Hitoshi also was next to her, waiting for his own match. Shouta was in a building near the middle of the training grounds in the case that his quirk was needed and he needed a head start compared to the other teachers. His movements becoming slower with his growing pup.
Midoriya had been in the myst of his match when he had slipped and fallen from Monoma copying Bakugou's quirk. Causing the green haired Alpha to fall from on top of one of the many buildings. He had barely managed to catch himself but had cut his leg on nearby metal. Bakugou and Yaoyorozu were quick to get him off of the training grounds and back to the platform.
Eri had watched the entire thing. The girl had rushed over and wrapped her arms around the green haired Alpha. Unknown to her that her quirk had activated at the time. Shouta had rushed from his location to get back to the platform. Knowing that he needed to check on his problem child that was Midoriya. It had been a couple shock, but at the same time informing, when he arrived and saw the familiar golden glow surrounding Midoriya and Eri.
He was quick to deactivate their quirks. His daughter fell against Midoriya as her temperature had spiked. Eri had been taken to Recovery Girl by Hitoshi while Shouta had questioned Midoriya about what had happened.
Eri had kept repeating the same line. "Please don't hurt him." His heart had broke when Midoriya had told him what his daughter had said. Midoriya told him from seeing what happened with Dabi that his best chance had been to activate his quirk at its full power until he arrived. According to the teenager, he didn't feel any pain throughout Eri's quirk activating and being erased.
Midoriya had been quick to offer in helping Eri train her quirk when it finally came to using her quirk. The time that Eri spent with All Might during classes had mostly been used to talk about what she felt and what was happening within her at the time of her quirk activations. So far from what Shouta could tell, it was activating at the sight of someone being hurt. Dabi had been injured in her rescue and Midoriya, being someone she had met before U.A., got hurt in class. Both times her quirk activated.
Shouta feared training her quirk. It was dangerous and so far appeared to only work on people. They were sorely lacking information on her powers that could be vital in assisting her growth with her quirk. So far, she was getting through the basics of feeling her power within her. The first time she had used her quirk since she arrived had been with Midoriya's injury.
What did his problem child do? Said the words that Eri definitely needed to hear while her quirk was activated. "Your quirks' a blessing." Dabi had thanked her before for helping him but it seemed that Midoriya saying those specific words while her quirk was at work, helped her self-confidence.
All Might had tried to talk Midoriya out of wanting to help train her quirk, since it could be potentially dangerous but the Alpha stood his ground. Shouta had to give him props for being persistent. He wanted to help, especially after running into before and being unable to help her when they first met. Inko Midoriya, had of course, also tried to talk Midoriya out of it. She had been concerned with Eri's quirk hurting her son. After saying no, immediately Midoriya had fought against it and All Might assisted him. Cause of course All Might would do anything for his favorite student. Soon, Inko had caved and allowed Midoriya to assist her.
Now, Midoriya assisted her when he could. She still wasn't training fully with her quirk. Whenever her quirk would activate, it would cause her to spike a fever. Thankfully, ever since that day with Midoriya, Shouta had been nearby in case if something happened with her.
On most days, Eri would spend her time with All Might and Mirio Togata. The third year being the other person who had been present at the alleyway that notified the heroes of her existance. She would spend a lot of time with her older brother, Dabi, and Shoto at the house as well as Midoriya when he would stop by. He had a habit of bringing her over candy apples since the girl had a sweet tooth. Mirio came over often after classes and the two would play games together. He had been the boy from the alleyway alongside Deku. Every part of her screamed for help that day but Overhaul had given her the signal that he would hurt them. She could let that happen.
Despite every thing they tried, Eri was still clouded by Overhaul's influence and memory. She was so unsure. Lost. She didn't know what to do. She often hid behind someone's leg whenever she was in the presence of other people. Usually Shouta's. Even with all of the fear, it was comforting to see Eri starting to open up. Even if it was a brief moment. The girl was more relaxed around a handful of people. Shouta's scent was the most calming to her. Almost natural. She didn't understand bonds but the nice lady, Recovery Girl she was told her name was, said that she held a natural familial bond with Shouta so she would remain the calmest she could be near him. Hitoshi was similiar. According to Shouta, he was her older brother.
All her life, all she had ever known was pain and darkness. She wasn't sure of his real name but the Boss of the yakuza had been the only man who had showed her any form of kindness. A part of her knew that the man wasn't her father but he did act like one to her before he had suddenly fell ill about a year prior. During that time, she had been placed into the hands of Chisaki and that is when the pain had started after her quirk had activated against one of the nannies that helped take care of her. That's when the experiments started. The fear had been placed into her. His words still haunted her. Haunted her dreams.
In her room, it was filled with various new toys and clothes just for her. She barely touched them but her siblings would often come in and play with her whenever they weren't at Heights Alliance. Other times, she would join them at the dorms and watch movies with them. Most of them had been musical type movies whenever she was around. More than once the others broke out into dances, dancing along to the songs and singing along.
The pink skinned girl, Mina, had been showing her the dances to some of the movies. Kyoka would sing along to a lot of the songs. The others would too but her voice always stuck out to Eri. It was so beautiful.
She always had a lot of fun on these nights. She would start giggling and smiling alongside of them but it never seemed to last long before she would go to sleep and be back within the darkness.
Despite having her own bed, she found herself sleeping next to Shouta on his king sized bed that held the man and her siblings. Shouto had told her that he has nightmares too and Shouta's presence always seemed to help him. Hitoshi had told her he stays in the room based off of his own fears of seeing something to happen to him so being near them made him feel better.
Her nightmares weren't as bad whenever she slept next to her family. If she woke up from a night terror, Shouta would be awake next to her and pull her as close as he could while running his fingers through her hair and softly singing to her.
When she told Shouta for the first time of what Chisaki would say to her, the Omega had broken down into tears and held her. His words to her, "You are not cursed. You never were. You are a blessing in our lives, Eri."
The words had comforted her. Made her feel better. Shouta always seemed to know the right thing to say whenever she was ready to give up on herself. She would practice with her emotions for her quirk while he was teaching. The frustration with the mixture of fear and anxiety would fill her whenever she talked about it and he would be with her in a moment. He would have her stop her 'training' and All Might would take her to go get some of her toys and she would play for the remainder of the class. Afterwards, Shouta would give her a smile and tell her how good of a job she was doing. Tell her how proud of her he was.
All Might sat not far from her as she built a small house out of blocks. A small smile was playing on his face as she recounted one of the many dance breaks that she and Class A were involved in which ended with Kaminari stuck between the couch and wall. The door opened effectively pulling their attention from the blocks to Shouta and Shoto who were standing at the door.
Eri jumped up, running over and wrapping her small arms around Shouta's leg. Shouta smiled down at her, ruffling her hair. "Thanks, Toshinori-san." Shouta stated.
"It's always a pleasure." Toshinori stated as he pushed himself up off of the floor. Toshinori quickly said his goodbyes and gave one last smile to Eri before making his exit.
"We are having movie night again. Want to come Eri?" Shoto questioned, looking down at her.
Eri gave a quick nod of approval. She turned her attention back to Shouta for the moment. "Shouta?" Her voice was still timid as usual as Shouta kneeled down to look her in the eye. "Is it bad to be happy one second and sad the next?"
Shouta gave her a soft look, reaching out and moving some of her hair from in front of her face. "No, it's not. You've been through so much. I have days were I just want to curl up and hide from the world but you pups give me a reason to smile every day." Shouta stated.
Eri nodded, taking her arms away from Shouta's leg and wrapping them around herself. She could still the lingering feeling of whenever Chisaki would cut into her skin. The way her blood felt against her arms. The days that passed before suddenly the marks were gone in an instant. To her, despite no marks on her skin, she could still see the wounds. "I can still see him... when I close my eyes." She whispered.
Shouta let out a soft breath, pulling the girl close to him. "This takes time. I wish I could just make it all go away but you went through torment and abuse for years, Eri." He whispered. "Right now, I just want you to see what we see in you. You are so kind, caring, selfless. You've reacted just like a hero would at times. With Touya. Midoriya. Now, go have some fun and dance to your heart's content." He stated as he pulled away, wiping away the tears that had started falling down Eri's cheeks.
"Do you think I will be able to control my power one day?" Eri questioned, reaching up and wiping off the rest of the wetness in her cheeks.
Shouta smiled at her. "Absolutely. Right now, you are still learning on what is activating your quirk. If we can discover what is causing that, we can move on to helping you gain control of how to shut it off. You are starting later than other kids your age so it's going to take a bit more time." The man explained.
The girl nodded. "That's why, Toshi-san talks with me while the others are working?" Shouta nodded to her. "He asks me what I felt when I saw Touya get hurt and Deku."
Shouta smiled. "Yeah, we think it has to do with your emotions. You saw two people get hurt before your eyes and that flood emotions hit and activated your quirk." He paused for a moment. "We are going to try a few things out with your quirk once we get a handle on just how it's activated. I've been brainstorming about your power, right now it appears to only work on people but I wonder if it works on all things organic so I want to try using plants or trees to see if I'm right."
"That way Deku doesn't have to overuse his quirk?" Eri questioned, to which Shouta nodded to.
"Midoriya wants to help, especially after what happened in that alleyway. I think this is his way of trying to make it up to you." Once again Shouta paused, standing back up to his full height. "If I'm correct about it, I think it would be better for your mentality to do it this way. The downside, we have to wait until your quirk activates again to know for sure. I would rather not put you in a position that would cause it to activate. Just let it build up a little and give it a try on some of the flowers in the garden."
Eri nodded with a smile. The feeling that she had boiling in her started to simmer down from his words. "Okay. Can we go watch the movie now?" She said, looking over to Shoto.
"Yeah, c'mon." Shoto whispered, holding his hand out for her. "Hitoshi's already there helping get everything set up."
Shouta smiled at her, watching as she broke out of her bubble for a moment as he got out of his kneeling position. She was getting better by the day but it was still a long road. He had no doubt that she could do it.

Shouta watched on for a moment as Eri and Shoto disappeared into Heights Alliance before he turned and entered back into his home. He paused for a moment as the hairs on the back of his neck stood. Eri had been at the teacher's dorms so he had just arrived back at his own area. Shouta walked into the home, slipping off his boots and slipping on his house shoes before turning and practically jumping as his eyes landed on Endeavor.
Endeavor no longer had blood on his face and his nose was fixed, so most likely he had went and seen Recovery Girl before coming here. "Endeavor, what are you doing here?" Shouta questioned. He had more questions but this was the most important to him.
"Nezu said I could wait here for you." Endeavor stated.
Shouta nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. "Why did you think it was a good idea to go talk to Shoto without me present?" He questioned.
Endeavor sighed, leaning his arms against his legs as he looked away from the Omega. "I just wanted to check on him. Make sure he was okay."
Shouta sighed as he uncrossed his arms and walked further into his family. He took a seat on his couch and looked over to the Number One hero. "I've told you what's going on with him. With his past with you, while he's recovering from it. It's best you stay away for now."
Endeavor nodded. "I know but I needed to see them."
Shouta smiled softly. "I can understand that."
"I don't even know why I lashed out. Especially at Touya." Endeavor chuckled, almost in disbelief. "I promised myself the day I learned that Dabi was Touya that I would do what I could to make sure I keep him from villainy. He came into the room with black hair and I just let it slip."
Shouta hummed. "It was a major slip up. Touya's trying his best to keep out of a villainous mindset. He still has his reservations in thinking you aren't changing your ways. You can't start to rebuild any form of relationship between the two of you if you target him for his past mistakes."
Endeavor took in a deep breath, rubbing his face with both of his hands. "He hates me either way. I don't even know what to say to him."
Shouta snorted. "Well taunting him isn't going to help anything. Your words mean nothing to him. You have to show him what you are trying to prove." The Omega stopped for a moment, leveling a glare on the man. "I heard the entire thing and I'm going to ask you point blank." Endeavor looked up to him, gone was the cold look from before and replaced with geniune concern. "Shoto's reaction to you calling him a good boy. Did you sexually assault your son?"
Endeavor's face twisted in disgust. "Absolutely not. I would never do that to any of my children."
Shouta's eyes narrowed on him. "Then tell me why he remembers you using Alpha commands on him but not remembering the events of what happened during that time."
Endeavor sighed, realization coming to his face. The Flame Alpha looked down to the floor. "When I found out Shoto was an Omega... I knew how hard it was going to be for him in this world. How many people might try to take advantage of him." He paused for a second, taking in a shaky breath. "Touya wouldn't let me do this type of training on him but I would have Shoto fight against my command. That way if someone tried to do it to him in the future, he wouldn't be controlled by one."
Shouta contemplated for a moment. Listening to the sound of Endeavor's voice and watching his body language. Endeavor didn't give an indication of lying. "Why would you call him a good boy for it?"
Endeavor finally looked up to him. "I would tell him how good he was doing. It was a mix up of words. I was so angry at Touya lashing out at me... I lashed out to him to but I never touched my son. I always told him that an Alpha should treat him right. After everything I did to his mother... I never wanted that to happen to him."

Hawks groaned as he started to come too, his body completely soaked in a layer of sweat. He noticed quickly that his jacket was gone and so were his headphones and shades. He forced his eyes to open completely. In an attempt to move his arms, he quickly realized that they were stuck. The Winged Hero forced his head to move, looking up above him to see his hands bound and hanging by chains to the rafters of the room. He moved his feet, noticing that they weren't cuffed to anything but he was dangling in the air.
He tried to call onto his wings and his eyes widened when his feathers and wings didn't move even a centimeter. The blonde moved his head slightly as cursed when he felt the ring at the collar of his shirt. The fucker had put a quirk nullifying collar on him. Exactly how long had he been out for. The room didn't look familiar to any of the rooms within the main house.
He struggled against the chains for a moment. Did his sidekicks notice that he never came out? Hizashi? The kids? Were they safe? So many questions ran through his head as he attempted to get his wrists out of the chains but let out a string of curses as he broke open his skin.
"It's not going to work little hero." Kenzou's voice echoed through the room followed by footsteps. Hawks chose not to reply to him as the man came into view, instead chose to glare at him. "Awe, not going to say anything to me?" Again nothing. "That's a pity. I was so hoping that you would scream for me?" Hawks' gave him a look of confusion. "You must be so accustomed to drugs in your system that you never realized that I did indeed drug you? It should be kicking in here pretty quick."
Hawks growled, kicking at the man as he got close to him. "What the fuck did you do to me?"
Kenzou laughed. "Just reversing what that so-called Hero Commission did to you."
The hero growled again. "They didn't do anything to me."
Kenzou smirked, reaching out until his hand was flat against Hawks' stomach. The hero attempted to kick at him again but he could feel his legs getting heavier by the moment. A shiver ran down his spine as fear flattered through him. Kenzou's face contorted in a wicked smile as he moved around the defenseless hero. Hawks felt his heartbeat rising within his chest as shivers ran down his spine as the Alpha's fingers ghosted over his revealed skin.
"So sweet." Kenzou muttered. Hawks bit back a groan as he felt the heat flare in his body, getting stronger by the second. "They were so scared of me, they hid their little slave from me. What a pity. You would make beautiful pups."
Hawks choked down the lump that had formed in his throat. With a growl, he said, "Fuck you."
Kenzou just chuckled, completely out of Hawks' sight. He could hear his heavy footsteps but could no longer tell where he was within the room. He willed his wings to react in any way, knowing that it was in vain as he moved his wrists, trying to get out of the chains holding him suspended within the air. "I really love the feisty ones. There is something about being feisty that just… turns me on." Kenzou whispered, his lips ghosting over Hawks' ear as the Alpha pressed his body into the hero's back. "You can smell it can't you? That scent you probably haven't smelt in years." Kenzou smiled, pulling a blade from his pocket and sliding the metal against the revealed skin on Hawks' arm, leaving a shallow cut. The villain moved around his body, picking a choosing small locations. Littering his arms, legs, and torso with small cuts. Cutting straight through the clothes that the hero wore.
Hawks had to bite his lip harder, busting the skin open and blood started to go down his chin. The sweet smell of cherries and vanilla filling the air, breaking through any scent blockers that he had on him. The stinging from the cuts as the blood spilt over the skin.
"Keigo, you really are beautiful."
He isn't trying to use that quirk on me. Maybe he knows I know about it and know how to counter it. If I don't look into his eyes… he can't use it on me. The hero thought as Kenzou finally pulled away from him.
"You will be even more beautiful when you start screaming." Kenzou added.
"Wh-" He was cut off as he felt liquid being poured down his wings. His eyes widened and his breathing quickened. "What the fuck are you doing?!" He exclaimed, the fear now clear in his voice as he struggled against the chains in attempts to get away from the villain. "What the fuck do you want with me?!" Kenzou ignored him for the moment, liquid now being poured onto his other wing. The wretched odor filled Hawks' senses, making him gag from the overpowering smell. "Don't do this, Kane. I will do whatever you want me to. But please… don't do this." He wasn't sure why he was begging. He was sure that the villain was getting off on the torture. Even if he wasn't in physical pain, the mental effect of knowing what was to come was terrifying in its own right.
"Little birdie.. Begging will only make it worse for you." Kenzou retorted. The Alpha moved around the hero, looking him dead in the eye, his eyes glowing the same bright green that Hawks had seen in Shouta's memories. Shoto's memories.
The hero quickly closed his eyes, fighting against the feeling that was pooling in the pit of his stomach. Ignoring the rise in the air temperature. The scents in the air. The pheromones. He refused to let Kenzou win this. They had came so far in the case, this wouldn't be the end for him.
"They kept you caged up. Changed you against your will. Did everything to keep you in line for them." Kenzou whispered, soothing pheromones going through the air. Hawks held his breath, trying anything to keep from falling into the villain's trap. The man had him exactly where he wanted him. He couldn't afford this. He had to stall. By now Yamada would have realized that he was missing. Someone would come for him. "Now, let's have some fun." The villain chuckled, once again his footsteps ringing through Hawks' ears.
His eyes flew open as he heard a strike against a box and the scent of sulfur now lingering in the air. "No… no.. no no no." Hawks muttered, kicking in each direction and trying to pull himself up towards the chains.
He let out a scream as pain erupted through his wings. Every feather now becoming engulfed in flames. Tears involuntarily came to his eyes as the pain escalated, getting closer to the bones that kept his wings on his back.
"Now, that's more like it." Kenzou stated, chuckling almost happily as he walked around to look Hawks directly in the eye. His eyes still illuminated. "Calm down now. Relax. It will be over soon." The Alpha cooed, reaching forward for the belt around Hawks' waist.
"Don't fucking touch me!" Hawks screamed through the pain. His voice wavering as he attempted to cloud just how much pain he truly was in. "You won't make it out of this building alive."
Kenzou tsked. "If you say so." Gripping the belt and pulling it from it's loops before tossing it behind him. "Now, be a good little bird and calm yourself. I don't necessarily like doing this against people's consent."
Hawks gritted his teeth, the smell of his burning feathers filling his nose. "Fuck you. It doesn't matter if you think you had their consent. You raped them. You used that stolen quirk to get them to listen to you. They didn't want it. That's not consent." The hero stated.
Kenzou shrugged, grabbing ahold of Hawks' bottoms before pulling them down his legs. Making Hawks notice that his shoes were no longer on his feet either. The Alpha completely pulled the fabric away from him. Tossing the pants to the side before reaching up and undoing the chains. The hero fell limp to the ground. The flames on his wings now small and at the base. His body heating up by the second and the unfamiliar feel of liquid on his thighs.
Hawks let out heavy breaths. His back rising from the amount of air that he was forcing into his lungs. His body completely weak as he tried to fight his own instincts against the drug flooding his body. His mind hazey. His eyes were glossed over.
Well, fuck… I'm probably going to die.
Kenzou's hand slid up his leg and over his bare thigh. Hawks jerked away from him, only for his thigh to get grabbed in a harsh hold. The only thing between Kenzou's hand and Hawks' privates were his boxer briefs which were now completely soaked. "I love the scent of distress." Kenzou murmured, moving his hands up until they slid underneath the fabric. Hawks gasped at the touch, trying with the last bit of strength in his body to move away from the villain but ultimately slumped against the ground. "Like my new drug. It's much harsher than before. Now you can barely move. The hero who is known for being too fast is now too slow." Kenzou retracted his hand, fingers ghosting over Hawks' clothed bottom. The Alpha pulled the briefs away from the hero. The hero groaned as he shifted to try and keep them up but his arms were too weak to move to resist.
I can't move... my body is so weak... I can't fight him off.
Despite his body's unwillingness, he still attempted to move away. Kenzou chuckled at his attempts. His hips getting pinned to the ground by Kenzou's. A large hand in the middle of his back to keep him pinned to the floor. The other hand moving over his exposed skin. His head was lifted off of the ground and slammed back into the cement underneath him. He groaned quietly as his vision swam and his ears started to ring. He could barely hear the clicking of Kenzou's belt slipping off. Hawks braced himself for what was to come next.
But nothing came.
Kenzou was thrown off of him and went crashing into the wall, a knife in his shoulder. He couldn't hear what Kenzou was saying over the loud ringing in his ears before the Alpha disappeared from the room with one of his sidekicks chasing after him. A gentle hand placed itself on his shoulder, turning him over. The winged hero groaned softly as he was rolled to his side, careful of his burnt wings behind his back. Hawks found himself scooped up off of the floor, cradled gently close to a warm chest. "We need to get you to a hospital."
Yamada?
Hawks shook his head. "No. They won't catch him. Take me to U.A. I have to tell Aizawa what's going on." He muttered, barely having the strength to talk. He wasn't even sure if he said the words out loud before he was being carried out of the room. He let his eyes slip shut from the comforting scent of the Alpha holding him.
