Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Chapter 4: A Burning Pain

"C'mon Dabi! We're late!"

"No, we are not. Calm down." Dabi said as he and Izuku were walking towards the door of the Todoroki Residence. Well, he was walking. Izuku was rushing to the door, telling him to hurry up.

"But we will be if you don't hurry!" Izuku said and his older half-brother yawned.

"Right, right. We don't want to worry your mom if we are late." Dabi had met Inko in other occasions and had saw how caring the woman is and how much she can worry over little things.

Izuku nodded "Good. Now let's- Hey Shoto!" Izuku interrupted himself when he saw his other brother sat in the couch reading something.

Izuku got next to Shoto "Hey, we are going to see my mom, want to..." Izuku started but Shoto interrupted him when he stood up and left "...come with us..."

Izuku looked how Shoto left with a sad look. Dabi patted his shoulder to call his attention. "Let's go kid. We are late."

Izuku nodded and followed the teen out of the house. They walked a couple of streets before Dabi had enough of Izuku down attitude. "Kid, drop it."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Look; Shoto has more issues than you and me combined. So, he sometimes can be a jerk. We just need to give him some space that's all." Dabi explained and Izuku nodded.

"But wouldn't be better if he talks to someone about it?"

Dabi shrugged "Maybe. But with who?"

"Me!" Dabi looked at him from the corner of his eye.

"Yeah. That won't work."

They went the rest of the way with a smirking Dabi and an angry Izuku, asking him what does that supposed to mean.

*Midoriya Residence*

"Izuku! You arrived. And you too Toya! Come in, come in." Inko said as she opened the door and saw her son and his half-brother at the doorstep.

Izuku nodded as he rushed inside and Toya entered at a slower pace. "Thank you Mrs. Midoriya/Mom." Said Dabi and Izuku respectively.

Inko nodded with a smile as she closed the door. Dabi and Izuku sat on the couch while Inko went for some drinks for them. "Here you go. What are you two going to do today?" Inko asked and Dabi shrugged.

"Don't know. Maybe to the park or something like that."

Inko smiled and Izuku got an idea "Hey mom, why don't you join us? It's been a while since we hanged out."

Inko put her finger on her chin "I don't know..."

"C'mon Mrs. Midoriya. I can't be the only one to keep an eye on the brat."

"Hey! I am not a brat!"

"Whatever. So, you're coming?" Dabi asked again and Inko smiled.

"Well if you insist, I'll go!"

Izuku grinned and Dabi smirked. "Great! Mom is coming!"

Dabi smirked and Inko giggled at the little kid's excitement. It didn't take them too long to leave the house and head to the park.

*Hours Later*

"That was fun! Wasn't it?" Izuku asked and Dabi rolled his eyes.

"Sure. Why not?"

Inko smiled as she watched how Izuku and Dabi were talking. She was glad that Izuku was adapting well to Enji home. He didn't seem to be sad or depressed. Besides, Toya took care of him.

As she was focusing on those two, she didn't notice the out of control truck that was going at full speed at them.

Dabi did as he grabbed Izuku and jumped out of the way "Mrs. Midoriya, move!"

But it was too late.

"MOM!"

*Hospital*

"Don't cry. She will be fine." Dabi comforted the crying boy as they waited in the lobby of the hospital for any news on the condition of Inko.

She was hit with full strength of the truck and when the paramedics arrived, she was barely alive. Izuku was still sobbing but he nodded.

He needs to be strong! Like Dabi or Dad!

It took hours until the doctor came out to give them the news. News that broke Izuku's heart.

Izuku hugged Dabi that hugged him back. Izuku was crying on Dabi's chest as the teen tried his best to reassure him.

He looked up as he listened to some footsteps. It was their father wearing a broken expression.

"Let's go. Both of you."

The car trip back home was painfully silent. No one talked and the only sound heard was the rain pouring down and Izuku silent cries.

Once they arrived, Enji send them both at their rooms. They obeyed without any question, not feeling good with what just happen.

*Next Morning*

Izuku woke up when his door was opened with a bang. He looked up to see the angered face of his father as flames danced on his shoulders.

"Dad? What's going on?" Izuku asked sleepy. Enji only went to him and gave him a hard slap on the face.

Izuku looked to the direction where he was slapped as Enji glared down at him. "You... You killed Inko..." He growled out as Izuku felt tears to his eyes.

Enji grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of his room to the training room. Dabi, that was just waking up, heard the noise and went out to check what was going on.

"Oi. What are you doing with him?" he asked and Enji didn't stop and tightened his grip on Izuku's arm.

Dabi grabbed him by the arm "I asked you a question." He said in a low tone and Enji glared at him.

"This is none of your business boy. Now go back to your room!" Enji barked at him and Dabi glared at him.

"You are hurting my lil' bro. It is my business now."

Enji threw Izuku to the side and before anyone could react, Dabi was covered in bright, violent flames. Izuku couldn't mutter a word. He was petrified.

He burned Dabi.

His cool older brother.

His strong older brother.

Now he was screaming in pain.

"Leave my house and don't come back! I am done with you Toya!" Enji barked as he grabbed the still agonizing Dabi and threw him out of his house.

"D-Dabi..." Izuku muttered and Enji continue to drag him to the training room. Where he had 5 of the most painful minutes of his life.

*Nighttime, Izuku's Room*

Izuku was under the covers of his bed with a black eye. He didn't know why dad was so mad with him and Dabi all of the sudden. Now mom is gone forever and Dabi might be too.

He heard his door open and he jumped at the noise. He looked to see that it was Shoto. "What you want?" Izuku asked him, not wanting to deal with him now.

"I heard what happen. With Toya and your mom." Izuku looked down to the covers as tears threaten to leak out. "I'm sorry."

Shoto got closer and sat on his bed. "What did I do wrong?" Izuku asked as tears started to fall.

Shoto watched him in silence. This wasn't the arrogant, spoiled kid he first met and knew as his 'bastard brother'.

This was Izuku Midoriya. A hurt boy, months younger than him, that just like him, he lost his mother and just recently, a brother.

"Nothing. Father is like that. A bad person." Shoto simply said and Izuku snorted.

"I thought you were his favorite." He said with a small shaky smile.

"Just power wise. You were his favorite until now." They both shared a small laugh and Izuku looked at him.

"Friends, bro?"

Shoto nodded "Friends, brother."

*Streets*

"Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!" Dabi screamed as he limped with fresh burns all over his body. He was leaning against a wall in an alleyway as he glared to the ground.

"That bastard..." He cursed thinking about Enji and what would he do to Izuku now "I need to save him... he can't stay there..." He muttered ready to turn back as a voice interrupted him.

"I don't think you can go anywhere like that kid." He turned around to see a man looking at him with red eyes.

"Fuck you! I need to go... he needs me..." Dabi gave some shaky steps as he collapsed to his knees due to the pain.

The stranger walked next to him "It is clear that you want to help someone. But like this... it would be impossible."

"Then what should I do? Eh!? Stay here and lick my wounds while he suffers!?" Dabi screamed at the man that rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"No. I can take care of them. Then, you can go. Only after I train you." The stranger said and Dabi raised a brow.

"Train me? Who the hell are you?"

"People call me Stain. And I want your help to reform this society from fake heroes, Toya Todoroki."

Dabi starred wide eyed at the Hero Killer before grinning. "Please... Call me Dabi."
