"We want you to join us." Shigaraki finishes his grand speech. In his seat, Bakugo sat, seemingly frozen, but his shoulders are shaking with something, wrath or fear, Dabi doesn't know. But either way it doesn't matter. His attention really wasn't on him honestly, the Bakugo boy isn't all that interesting. Kimura, though... He glances at the slumped girl, she's been out for quite a while, huh, wonder when...
The girl shifts before he could finish the thought, and Dabi raises an eyebrow.
Oh, well, how convenient. He approached the chair, looking for more movements or signs that the girl's awake. She grunts softly under her breath, it was barely a puff of air, but he heard it nonetheless. Well, why not give her a wake up call?
He kicks the chair.
"Wakey wakey sunshine," He drawled, as Kimura jolted, eyes snapping open wide with alarm. Her head snaps up as the chair sways dangerously, but she managed to catch her balance and avoid landing onto the floor still tied to the chair.
"The Fuck— " still dazed, she looks around with confusion, eyes hazed over, "Where-" the words were interrupted by a series of violent coughs, and the girl finally calmed down.
"Aha!" Shigaraki exclaimed, moving away from Bakugou, "Kimura Akemi! You finally wakes." The man grins wickedly at her, bending over to look at her at eye level, "I've heard a lot about you, girl."
The girl seemed a little blank at first, staring at him with an empty expression, before it darkens, and Shigaraki bend over with a grunt.
Dabi snorts. Next to him Twice laughs while Spinner has to stifle it, as for Toga, well she didn't even bother to hide and just giggled. With her leg still extended, Kimura looks down at the disintegrator with a sort of cold anger on her face, before she snarls.
"That's for my little sister, bitch."
"Ooh~" Toga hums from her perch on one of the stools, "You have a little sister? That's cute~ What did Shiggy do?"
"He nearly decayed her wrist." Much to their surprise, Kimura actually replied. Her voice was... well, indifferent and a little bland, but sort of even? Not as much anger as they'd expect from someone they'd just kidnapped. "No one messes with my sister, and gets away with it"
"Aww, Shiggy, that's meeeean." Toga said, in a sing-song voice, clearly just trying to piss Shigaraki off. Kimura paid her no mind this time, and instead looked around the room, a leveled look on her face before she locked eyes with Kurogiri, and asked in a surprisingly civil, though still a little shaky voice.
"Well?" She said, tilting her head, "Let's get this over with. What do you want."
Dabi raises an eyebrow.
"You're being a little too nice, for someone who's just been kidnapped." He comments. That earned him a flat stare from Kimura that partially screams 'Are you retarded?', as she raises an eyebrow of her own. "Well?"
"I thought I was asking the question here, but," She scowls, "Well take a look here. You've got like seven villains in this room, including a wrap gate. And I'm exhausted, my quirk ain't working, and the only ally I've got is this angry lil' bitch—"
"CALL ME THAT AGAIN YOU— "
"And unlike him I ain't stupid." She ignore Bakugou, staring at him flatly, "You kidnapped me, that means you need something from me, not to kill me, because if you wanted to kill me you would've already done that. So the most logical diction here is to not be uncooperative." She pauses, "That. Doesn't mean I'll be cooperative, but I ain't stupid enough to pull an escape stunt like, right now."
"I thought that you would've hated us, like him" Compress comments.
"I don't really have a choice, y'know." She deadpans right back, sending him a tired glare, "Get this over with."
Meanwhile, Shigaraki, who has just recovered from the crotch kick (Protective sisters really are badass) shot the girl a glare, before he pulled his fist back and punched her.
Kimura's face whips to the side, but otherwise her expression doesn't change. She tilts her head slowly and looks back at him, staring straight into his eyes.
"I'm afraid you'll have to try harder if you want to make me hurt." She said with an eerily empty smile, "Punches just don't do it anymore."
Shigaraki fumes. But the girl doesn't look away, she simply stared deep into the man's eyes, face fixed, with eyes like those of a caged animal.

I dreamt that Dabi isn't a Todoroki last night. It was surprisingly terrifying.
Yoooo! Today's my last day as a sixteen-year-old!!! Can't wait for my birthday! Also dreading my art exams tmr...
My wrist is a lot better now, I can write a little, but I'll still have to let it rest for one or two weeks. I'll try to keep the updates up and going still, see ya tomorrow for my birthday special!
Onto the comment(s)!
To ShardAura: Todoroki! Got it! Also, thank you so much!!! It makes me happy that my story is engaging enough for people to binge read it, really, thanks a bunch!
To Guest (who asked about the vote ratio): the cackles usually means one or two of three things: Glee, looking forwards to drinking tears, or knowing something you don't. Sometimes all three. As for the votes, I seldom get votes from guests really, most are from users, and about half of these are from the poll on my profile so there might've been people who voted in reviews then on the poll again, I guess, we will never know. As for the love triangle, well actually, when I first planned this fic out, it was a Todoroki x Akemi x Bakugou love triangle? Um, later I developed it a little more and just decided not to because I, uh, don't really write romance.
To Guest (most likely the one who asked about Shinsou): oh no worries my hand is a little better now, bandaged and stuff but better. Still hurts though.
