Chapter 1: The Beginning

I was in an alleyway behind the building where my friend used to live when I activated my quick to see the wild blue flame when it got out of control and I could feel my skin burning when I saw a man run over to me and try to calm me down.

"Breathe kid breathe, my name is Dabi what's yours ?"

"... I'm um I don't remember."

"How ? I'm not gonna ask, how about toya ?"

I liked that name. I liked it alot, "ok."

. Once that is over he sees the fear in my eyes as I realize my arms and legs are burnt. Dabi picks me up and carries me to one of the LOV's hide outs .There he wraps my arms up and puts in a burn cream that he used to use. A girl who introduces herself as Toga comes in and comments on how adorable I am and tells me not to worry because I'm here now.

" Look at your hair it's adorable reminds me of Izuku except yours is white like snow.``

Dabi leaves the room while I'm're taking a nap to talk to shigaraki about what to do with me. He fears I'll be abused like he was if I go home. In my head I know I don't have a home. He comes back to see I'm awake and asks where I live. With my small voice I tell him I don't have a home because I burnt it down one day with my parents when my quirk manifested. I see him take a deep breath and tell me, I can stay with him and he can teach me how to use my quirk.

The next day Dabi I troduces me to shigaraki who takes the hands off because he can tell they scare me. He tells me who he is, what his quirk is and what the LOVE is trying to accomplish and how they will protect me. I think he's a little scary but seems okay.

Next is twice he of course has two totally different reactions one is aww dabi is taking in a child who has the same quirk as him and two is probably going to be very annoying. He gives me a hug and explains his quirk and runs to the store to get me ice cream for being brave.

Compact is next and he does the same as shigaraki except for explaining what LOV represents and instead shows me a cool trick.

Last is spinner. He starts talking about how this isn't something the hero killer would want but before he could explain dabi gives him a deadly glare. Spinner gives me a high five and promises to show how to work a sword after I'm healed

Dabi said Mag was out on an errand she had to go get toga pads. When I asked what they were he just shushed me.

"Hey kid wanna tell me why a 6 year old was in the back of the alley way? " Dabi asked back in my room.

" One I'm not a kid, two because that was my home ."

" You're a kid, and where are your parents?"

"Well I burned them really bad and they went to sleep then I was at a foster home where they didn't feed me."

"Jeez kid already commiting murder, I'm kidding it's okay, ok ? Things happened, did you know a hero called 13 killed her parents with her black hole ? Did one of your parents have a fire quirk?"

" I didn't know that... Neither of my parents could do the fire thing one had ice the other had freezer burn."

" So there was an interesting mutation. "

"Dabi could become a hero one day."

"You could but I'm afraid you would make an even better villain."

"Oh well that cool too ! Will I be like you ?"

" Yea but if you wanted to become a hero you would have to go to school. That's a stretch but you could get really close."

" School was boring well for the two days I went there. No way I'll beat you !"

" Well see tomorrow I'll check your bandages and if you're good I can show you a couple of things."

" Ok dabi !"

That night I had nightmares about getting burnt alive from my quirk. When I woke from my nightmare there was a small flame on my wrist that danced against the pitch black room. When I looked around there was dabi at my side. I didn't see him at first because I was captivated by the blue flame.

"The flame doesn't get old does it ? Have a bad dream kid ?"

"I guess I've had it for a year. Yea I was getting burnt all over my body to a crisp."

" That won't happen okay? Want to know why ?"

"Why ?"

" Because I'm here to teach you how to use your quirk without getting yourself burned."

"Ok... I also dreamt of the day I burned down my house and my parents were calling for me then I sank into the ground and saw their bodies."

"How long ago was this?"

"3 months ."

" I'm sorry kid, these nightmares are going to happen for a while, can I get you anything?"

"Can you stay with me for tonight I swear it'll only be for tonight ."

"Of course kid ." He got into the bed with me and after a few minutes of back rubs we both fell asleep.

When we awoke Dabi was still sleeping. In fact the whole building was quiet except for the occasional mouse running across the room. I suddenly felt the urge to pee but when I tried to move my arms to help me get up they were really stiff. So instead, I tried to use momentum to get up without waking Dabi. When I got up I thought I was in the clear when I saw Dabi still sleeping. I was wrong, when I reached the door I hear,

"Where are you going kid ?"

"T-to the bathroom."

"Do you even know where that is kid ?" That's when it hit me, I don't know where it is.

"No," I said letting my head drop down, "but I can find it."

"I'm sure you can kid, but since I'm already awake I'll show you," Dabi got up, grabbed my small bandage covered hand and led me or maybe dragged is a better word to use. On the way I mesmerised how to get to the bathroom- right after togas room then a left then a right.

The rest of the morning waiting for the other to wake up. Instead of just lying around Dabi checked my bandages and put on more burn cream. Dabi told me, I was healing really fast. I'll have some scarring but it won't be like the ones on Dabi quite yet.

When Toga woke up she brought me to her room While Dabi was making pancakes to show me her knives and how to hold them. I had a deep fascination with the way the knife shined in the sun and how I could perfectly balance the throwing knives. In the kitchen area I could hear Dabi yell out Toga's name, she took the knives while promising how to throw them and places where it's best to cut someone. She picked me up and ran me to the table where she found me. When she walked away she kept teasing Dabi about how protective he is of me.

"Shut it kid before I put you in time out."

Toga gasped, "You wouldn't, no way shiggy would let you."

" Wanna see ?" Dabi pulled out his phone calling who I thought was shigaraki, " Hey boss Toga is showing the kid knives and teasing the kid," Toga protested in response to that last part. I couldn't hear what Shigaraki said from Dabi's body language. It seems he has won.

" Shigs said i can put you in time out whenever i please so take the kid again and it's into the corner you go." Toga let out a huff and walked away winking at me while pulling up a knife.

" Do you want to learn how to throw knives, kid ?"

" Yea, couldn't i use knives to control my quirk better too by lighting them on fire before i throw them?"

" Look at you kid, a genius. We should let your arms heal before you can even think about touching a throwing knife." Dabi said with a serious face.

" Awww ok, " I groaned.

" Here kid eat up." Dabi said, putting a stack of pancakes in front of me, I took a bite and it tasted just like my mother's.

" This very yummy Dabi,"

"It better be, it was my mom's recipe, when we're done eating I want you to come with me to meet with some potential members, how does that sound ?"

"Will I have to use my quirk?"

"Maybe but if the people were meeting don't give us trouble then you'll be fine. How are your arms feeling?"

" ….they hurt this morning but now they feel better." I said smiling. Dabi seeing this, he smiled back at me. The two of us sat in contempt as I ate the delicious pancakes that reminded me of a time before my quirk came in, before my own family thought I was a monster.

After breakfast Dabi sent Toga out to get me some clothes. She came back with 3 skull t-shirts, 3 dark blue t-shirts, a jean jacket along with a skull patch along with a knife patch, and 5 jeans and lastly 3 shorts. I chose one of the skull t-shirts and the jean shorts. While I got dressed twice put the patches on my jean jacket and he embroidered "LOV" on the shoulder. He wanted to put blue fire on there as well but by then I and Dabi had to leave. Dabi drove a fairly new looking car to what looks like an abandoned factory. We went through a hole in the fence, the factory looked like it was haunted. I walked alongside Dabi until I saw the people we were meeting. There are three people, the one on the left looks like a rhino and a human mixed together, in the middle there is a woman with fire wings and on the left is a guy who looks normal but I guess we'll see when they use their quirk.

"Who's the kid," the girl in the middle asked.

" The kid is with me and found him in an alley," Dabi said as I backed behind him and held tight onto his jacket. The three people without a name nodded in acknowledgement.

" You three are the ones who wanted to meet here so tell me what can you contribute to the league of villains. '' Dabi asked.

" People, that's what and Ron here can bulldoze through walls, I can fly. I doubt you have anyone in the league who can fly." The girl with fire wings said.

" you are right we do need more people and Ron and you Jodee would be useful but what about mr. silent over there."

" It's Mx. Silent, and my quirk is telekinesis, but if I use it too much I get a headache."

" Hm ok ill bring you back to headquarters, the man your about to meet is the leader don't fuck it up, let me call him." Dabi said, I was still behind him but not holding onto his jacket as much. Dabi gives me a look that says, come with me. We go to the door while he tells the hand man about the 3 people. When Dabi motions for the people still in a triangle formation to follow us to the car. I sit in the front while the 3 sit in the back. Before we drive off he threatens the 3 strangers. I don't know how to feel about them, they seem dangerous. I start to scratch at my hands because I have this temptation to just stare at strangers while we drive but Dabi puts his hands on mine and promises me ice creams for being so good today. When we get there Dabi sends me with spinner when he leads the 3 strangers to the bar room. Spinner took this opportunity to show me his dual swords. He let me hold them while he was adjusting the ribbons on him. After I handed him the swords not getting the same satisfaction from Toga's knives. For the rest of the time, Spinner taught me about hero society and all the problems associated with it. I had always thought heroes were the best people ever because they saved people from villains. But all the villains want is to be able to live out their lives and use their quirks without being labeled a monster. I guess that's why people who have mutant quirks are more likely to become villains.

"So alot of heroes are bad but are in the top ten, but people like you and Dabi are looked down upon because you guys believe the hero system is bad ?" I asked making sure i was right.

"Exactly little dude, you'll understand as you grow up, whats your name again little dude ?"

" Its Toya, Dabi gave it to me since I don't remember my own name."

" Didn't your friends know your name?"

"All my old friends became scared of me and before that they all called me nicknames same with my parents…" Spinner gave me a look I didn't understand.

"Oh...well since your starting a new life i think a new name is pretty fitting, plus Toya sounds badass, we'll find you a cool villain name when you turn 12 ok ?"

" Why 12?"

" Well, at least until you have better control over your qurik, and I doubt Dabi or Shigaraki will let you go on missions with us."

" Oh ok then i'll get super strong."

" Of course you will, you have me to look up to, do you want a cupcake, i think Twice made some cupcakes." He said as he motioned for me to follow him to the fridge. I opened up the fridge hoping to find cupcakes but there were none. I was really hoping for a cupcake.

"Freaking twice of course he didn't follow through."

"Its okay, is there ice cream?" I asked, pointing up to the freezer. Spinner opened up the freezer and took out the carton of strawberry ice cream. I went to sit on the couch looking at my arms still covered in the white cloth. I went to look at the skin under the wrapping when Spinner came behind me and warned me not to look.

Spinner told me the meeting went on for 2 whole hours. Now thats alot of time. When Dabi came back I told him about what Spinner told me and he knelt down and said,

"It's all true kid and you know if you don't like Toya i'm sure Toga would love to help you pick a new name."

"No I like it Dabi, I really do, besides Toga would probably give me a girly name." I said sticking out my tongue at the end. Dabi chuckled a little and ran his hands through my hair. He stood up and grabbed my hand and walked me to the bathroom. When he took off the bandages he didn't grab the roll or the burn creme. Finally now I can start to become as strong as Dabi and Spinner… Then i looked down at my arms and they looked like a reddish purple and weird kinda like Dabi's.

" You told me my arms wouldn't look like your arms yet?"I asked feeling disappointed. Then Toga walked in,

" Wow kid those are some crazy scars, did your scars look like this too as first Dabi?"

" Why are you here kid, and yes they did," he turns to me, " Listen kid our fire is blue, meaning it's much hotter than regular fire meaning it's going to burn everything much faster and make the burns deeper. I don't want to scare you kid i'll explain more tomorrow." Dabi said with such seriousness it almost scared me. As much as I was scared I listened very well. I already know how dangerous my qurik is thats why i never use it or at least I don't mean to use it.

"Will I look like you one day ?"

" Maybe but hopefully not, I've lived this long and have been okay." thst maybe makes me hopeful.

"Can I play now ?"

" Yea, yea you can, Toga can you watch the kid I have to change somethings in his room."

" Of course boss I love the little guy."

" I'm not little !" I said in protest, it's true I'm big now.

" You know being little has its advantages you can crawl through vents." Toga said I didn't want to tell her she's right. Instead I pulled her hand to go get a baseball twice brought me when he was running errands.

"Kid ! Can you come here for a minute ?" Dabi called from what seemed like my room, I think half an hour passed of Toga and I playing catch. When I got to the room I went in and saw there was a night light and a fluffy blanket on my bed.

"I decided to get you a night light so you won't have bad dreams and a nicer blanket don't tell anyone I got you that blanket."

" Thank you… you didnt have to do that "

"I know, but I want you to be able to sleep without me just in case I have to go on a mission at night."

"Oh….want to play catch with Toga and I ." Dabi smiled at that and nodded. I grabbed his hand and led him to where Toga and I were.

We played catch for about an hour before shigaraki came in and announced,

"We have to move."

" Why shiggy ?" Toga asked.

"Because the heros are starting to get on our trail and we need to act fast so we are going to a warehouse in another city about an hour away. Since kurogiri doesn't know the exact location in relation to us or knowing what the place really looks like we are driving."

"Won't we be caught ?" Twice asked...wait where did he come from.

" Twice and magne are going to drive the cars at night to a disclosed location and kurogiri is going to teleport us to the ally adjacent to the car along with out things, we leave at midnight. "

"That's 3 hours." I say.

"Good job kid already knowing math." Shiggy said.

"Thank you shiggy."

"Come on kid let's go get you pack so we have time to eat." Dabi said holding out his hand for me to take.

We go to my room to pack my things, it's a good thing I don't have many things. It all fits in a backpack Toga got for me. It has the characters from my favorite Disney movie, lilo and stitch.

Before we leave through the portal, a big scary man with hair that makes him look like a bunny breaks through the wall.

"Dabi you can stay here or twice can take the kid." Shiggy said

Dabi looks at me and looks at his surroundings, he ruffles his hand through my hair and nods to twice to take me. Twice picks me up before I can protest and runs through the portal.

"I know you don't want to go but Dabi needs to help. Damn it Dabi." Twice said he's funny that way.

" I understand I just hope he'll be okay." I say

" He will, he always is, now do you need anything ?"

" I'm thirsty, can I have some water ?"

" Of course kid there should be a bottle in the car, let's go in there." Twice said as he opened up the car door. The car was sleek and oh so shiny. The inside had a black leather interior and pretty blue LED lights.

" Twice, whos car is this ?"

" Dabi's, get in and we can start heading towards out of town."

"Ok." I got in the back seat and immediately found the water bottle. On the bottle there was a small note."

" Toya, I knew you would be thirsty so just in case here. - Love Dabi with a black heart," below the note was, "P.S Don't tell anyone I put this note on here." I took a mental note of this and burnt the note.

" Kid I know you have a cool quirk but please don't activate it in the car."

" Oh sorry Twice." I opened the water bottle and chugged it. Twice turned on music and immediately this song about dandelions came on. The music started to make me feel like im one of those music videos Toga showed me while she was babysitting me.

While Twice turned left the phone rang, Twice picked up and immediately turned around and started towards the old head quarters. When we got there Twice told me to hurrt and scoot to the middle. I did as told and the second after I got in the middle, Dabi and Toga got in beside me while Spinner got in the front.

" Twice, GO GO GO, GO NORTH, " Dabi yelled and twice accelerated so fast I thought i was stuck to the back seat. I felt an arm go across my stomach and I saw it was Dabi's. I was scared for a moment of the car flipping but we didnt flip. Eventually everyone in the car was cheering for joy as I saw the city limit sign.

" Finally, I never thought we would get out of that city." Toga said letting go of a breathe she may have been holding for god knows how long

" Um, why didn't you guys go through one of Kurogiri's warp holes ?"

" Oh kid, i'm so glad you got out of there," dabi said giving me a smile and running a hand through my messy hair, " We have to get that cut, but Shigaraki was caught after Kurogiri's metal vest thing was taken off and he vanished."

" I hope we see them again," I said hugging dabi with all my might. Dabi didn't say a word as he wrapped an arm around me.

" Twice, do you know where the new hideout is?" Toga asked.

" Yes, thats why i'm driving,"

" Good, since were out of the hero's range can I get some blood from someone "

" We will soon let us settle first." Dabi said.

" Where Big Mag?"

" She's also been-" Toga was cutoff when a bullet shot through the window. Dabi put my head down towards the floor of the car motioning me to go down. All i heard was gunshots both near and far. Then I heard the sound of fire, I know exactly what was happening. I heard spinner say something about asking twice to make a double of him, soon enough there was.

At the top of the car I heard the sound of a person or two on top then the sound of a person jumping off the car. The car filled with continues noises of various quirks, and gunshots.I looked up and the sun roof was open revealing the yellow glow of electricity combined with blue and red fire fighting together. In an instant the red and the yellow went away and I was pulled up as I heard the engine purr as we accelerated. When I looked back behind me,.I saw two cars engulfed in flames and a man with wings flying away in the distance. I was pulled down after a minute of looking.

"Ok change of plans now they suspect where were going, I know a spot west of here on the coast." Dabi said

" What are we going to do ?" I asked.

" Well kid I don't know, well see ounce we get settled."

" Twice, get off this highway and into highway 24."

" Okay, no I'm in charge," twice is funny like that, I guess whatever comes first is what he means.

No one talked the rest of the ride except for the occasional Toga singing to the radio. We got to the house and wow it looked like a castle. The inside looked like the typical japanese home except there was dust everywhere.

"Wow Dabi how did you find out about this place?" Toga asked dancing around the front room.

" It was my old man's he abdandoned this place and didn't lock the door."

"Yay for your old man." Dabi didn't respond to this and instead walked around. I followed him around not wanting to get lost. I regret this design when he hands me a broom.

"I'm going to assume you can sweep, you don't have to do all the rooms right now but at least do the kitchen, and the living rooms, then after well go outside and train a little." I nodded and started in the front room. Twice was going around dusting the place while Dabi took inventory of everything we had. Toga sweeped the rest of the floors. When we were done the sun was setting. I was tired and so was everyone else so Dabi brought out the blankets after he had shaked all the dust off of them and layed half on the ground and half on for blankets.

"Wait is my blanket in the car?" I asked.

"Yea go ahead and get it kid use your fire to light the way."

" Ok I'll be right back." I needed that blanket its one of the few things that are mine and remind me I kind of have a family now. After I got it We all laid around each other with Dabi putting a hand on me.
