Chapter 19

Lisa's POV

It was tiring at first, living out in the wild and doing all the chores only those who guarded the area helped me while the others headed off for 'training' I made breakfast every morning, fluffed out all the blankets and sheets, stocked the two main fires. One inside the cabin and the main one outside, I hand washed all the clothes, checked the greenhouse over and counted our resources, wrote lists, refuelled the generator, collected water, cleaned up the inside of the tents and prepared lunch and dinner, on top of healing everyone every morning and night. It was exhausting and eventually I got used to this routine, the one who stayed to safe guard the camp grounds would help me by cutting up firewood and carrying heavy things, they tended to run errands on top of keeping an eye out and I noted they all took care of me first. They kept me warm, helped me out, gave me most of the food and let me eat first, they also all interacted with me one way or another well except for Giran, he left already.

Winter had been hell to say the least but I was lucky that Dabi was my sleeping partner sometimes including Hawks, we all shared especially when learning Hawks had sleeping issues. My heart nearly broke for him when learning he had a daughter and her life was dependant on his co-operation with the commission, no wonder he was a double agent but really with the league. I had enjoyed watching the snow melt away as spring began to crop up new life, forests turned to green, animals returned to their lives, flowers bloomed as did the fruit and veggies I grew. Soon it was no more fire unless at night, and we all woke up with a shining and bright sun, we all noticed the 'happier' attitudes of everyone, I walked around giving everyone good morning kisses, in reality I was very much healing them, but it wasn't as needed as it was in winter.

"Okay next," I called a wide basket filled with warm water out in front of me, one at a time I washed everyone's hair, brushed it out and wrapped it up, drying it, it was obvious that Dabi had red hair, he had asked me to not tell anyone else.

I knew he was hiding his real identity and that was his wish so I abided by what he wanted, it however made him mysterious and dare I say dangerous in a way, he was not ceasing in his advances and I was slowly cracking. It was so hard to stay strong, handsome and warm man who wanted me, I just wanted to keep him at arm's length. The words of my mother and grandmother 'be careful around boys, they tell you lies to get what they want and leave once they have achieved their goal.' Being older and wise I trusted my elders in my family, that then made me think of Nana Karin, I had to turn off my phone because my mother kept calling and texting, I chose to shut it off so it couldn't be tracked, while the others were safe and no one knew their numbers mine could be tracked by the police.

I had originally stuck close to Hawks, I trusted him, and I knew he would not allow harm to come to me after all he had already saved me twice prior. But I couldn't help but like everyone, Twice was funny with his multiple personality while I was told it was not as bad as it had once been he still slipped into his alter ego so to speak. I also really liked Shigaraki, he was kind to me, asking if I was okay, trusting me with things to do and his order of "Bambi comes first, if she perishes we all perish, we keep her safe in every way" it warmed my heart and was a reason why I kissed him more on the lips, unlike Toga and Dabi who begged for my attention and affections he simply liked me because I was a part of their family now. I felt happy here, sure I missed my family but…I was so accepted I tended to forget that I am technically unable to leave, I had become so accommodating, nurturing and caring to them all that I followed all orders to. Even allowing Toga to take my blood, she enjoyed being able to look like me, she had been a little hot and heavy while she turned into me but still she enjoyed it, when out and about in towns she turned into me, and had access to my quirks too.

Hawks had a special place in my heart as my good boy, my little winged hero who wouldn't let me fall, I liked his positive attitude, he was funny and could always make someone smile, typically me, also there was Dabi, oh Dabi, he tried so hard but never pushed, he wanted so much but never wanted to reciprocate. I found him mysterious he was unique, hurt and dark but a good soul deep down and caring, I could tell from the way he helps Toga do her hair that he had or has a sister unless he did it for his mother. I watched Spinner sharpen all of his knives, he wasn't flashy or strong like the others with their quirks so he pulled his weight by doing as asked and offering help where he could, Compress went to the edge of town every month where a freight crate of items were left for us to pick up thanks to Giran, it was how we got other necessities and some specialties such as bread, soft drinks and junk food but also a bathtub, which was set up outside and we filled it with heated water, something that used to be done in the late 1900's of England.

Toga was more calmed now that she had my blood, she helped me with simple things like food prep and storing items, but most of all besides being with Twice all the time as they had become a strong couple she was either with Spinner as they talked about weapons and practiced their skills.

I looked to the new crate that we would need to open, being a metal freight cargo container meant it took up a lot of space, we spent a solid day of training and just unpacked it all, seeing it was a day's walk to and from the Deika city it took Compress a day there and back with it and then another two to return the container to be picked up by the truck driver. Every time we got it we would contact Giran to let him know, we had more safety measures set up to protect us all and stay within communication as well. I listened to Shigaraki as we sat around eating breakfast, "you found what I want?" he made an annoyed sound shortly followed by an excited sound like a child promised candy after dinner, "alright keep up the good work Giran," he ended the call and placed the phone down to conserve battery. "Well apparently with the news of Hawks joining us, the heroes control shaking making it harder for them as all kinds of villains are coming out of the wood works, however most are useless." He waved a hand like it didn't matter, "but something promising?" Dabi asked with his bowl of cereal, he was happy to have milk once more, many were happy that orange juice, apple juice, tea, coffee and soft-drinks were back, I had asked for a red wine, and others wanted whiskey or beer, yes we were now becoming more indulgent. That included other things, such as Toga and Jin getting condoms for their personal bonding time, I also kept a close watch on Toga; she was NOT to fall pregnant as per Shigaraki's wishes.

I took their dirty dishes one at a time, beginning to package food and cold items into a little fridge and freezer connected to the generator which ran the electricity to our lights and fridge and freezer, we also had the chargers for our games and phones, mainly the boys versed each other and sometimes when I had some time to myself I would sit down playing Donkey Kong on the Nintendo 3DS or Pokémon, there was a serious competition on who will fill their pokedex first. "Jump you slack little shit!" I cursed smashing the button to make sure the small monkey made the jump but he didn't and I groaned sitting my head back on the seat of the couch as I was sitting on the floor, I saw the menu go back to the start of the entire level and I turned it off, so annoyed I wanted to throw it across the dam room. Instead I got up putting it on charge, there was not much to do here, either work, something that has exhausted me, I was over rough housing it in the wilderness even though we were living pretty nicely all because of me. But I wanted air con, a proper bed, real food and kitchen and not having to do cook over a fire or gas simple stove top in a decrepit kitchen which was more for storage.

I sort of wished they would just defeat the beast they were fighting, I sighed noting my frustrations were getting to me; I knew I would technically be starting up uni again however with the events of recently that was out of reach now. I had been branded a murderer and part of the League which technically I was by default of Hawks but still, I had nothing to read, nothing to do that was fun or a hobby, I did get way better with survival skills and my Quirk was so good now. I used much less of my energy for healing and stamina, skin repair like Dabi's case was easier and I found it less exhausting, my concentration was on point too. I had however nothing to do, I worked and played games when I had a moment of free time, there was no fun things like us playing a sport, instruments to play, pen and paper to write and use or books to read, I had turned to gardening, cooking and for crying out loud bird watching, it was so fucking sad that my frustrations were mounting to a new high, I wasn't even allowed to sleep alone so I couldn't use the old hand trick to help reduce stress through masturbation, something which I used to do back before joining.

It didn't help that I was learning more about all of them, I didn't want to go back, they spoke of their hopes and dreams, I could see what they were fighting for and why, Dabi was passionate about taking down the heroes, many deserved it. I could tell that a hero must have personally spited him in a way, Shigaraki spoke of his quirk killing his whole family and then when he was a damaged and lost kid wondering the streets, not a single person helped him because of how he looked all left him thinking a hero or officer would step in, but they didn't. Toga was called creepy and resented due to her love for blood, which was natural as it was a part of her and her quirk, once hearing that I was a little less resistant to her, giving her blood and letting her bite into me, I could heal easily so it didn't matter, but now that she was with Jin 'her rock' she let up on her pursuing. Compress kept to himself he was gentlemanly and although I could have a whole conversation with him, he wouldn't delve too much into his past, Spinner followed those who inspired him, not having much to offer he was best as a follower. Giran has from what I can tell always been diverse into the black market and underworld of society, Twice was a man who used his quirk so much his own copies tried to kill him after he offcourse got mixed up and hated by all of society and has attachment issues, I knew nearly nothing about Master or Kurogiri except for the face that they were in Tartarus the super max jail.

I laid contemplating what to do, I made lunch and sent it off to them so they could eat between trying to get Gigantomachia, Shigaraki complained all the time about how he helped them out massively even following orders while in Deika but ceased the moment they were all healed.

I wanted something more exciting to do, the phone began to ring, it made me jump, normally it was very quiet around here so loud ringing was new, I jumped up collecting the device of charge and seeing it was Giran who was calling. "Hello Giran," "ah morning Bambi, say would your leader be around?" "He's still training but I will get Dabi for you, he's here with me today," he didn't respond to say if that was okay or not but I assumed it was better than speaking to me, as I knew nothing of the specifics that they always talked about other than resources to be gathered and sent to us. "Dabi," I called out noting he was topless and chopping wood, his new tungsten steal staples lasting longer and sturdier in his skin, little gifts from Giran seeing there was better income now. He paused I handed him the phone, he knew automatically who it was seeing no one else called us at all, I stepped away checking the clothes and bedding I had on the lines we strung up.

After taking off, folding up and putting the clothes, towels and blankets and sheets away I returned to see Dabi putting the phone back on charge and collecting his own, "going somewhere?" I asked having a dropping feeling in the pit of my stomach, "yeah, don't worry Bambi I won't be gone long." He gave that nice smile and came up to me, rolling his thumb along my cheek "I'll be back before you know it," he huskily whispered it against my forehead while leaning in and kissing me there. I pulled him back by his jacket before he could entirely pull away and kissed him on the lips giving him stamina and other healing so he would be up to the task. "You better be," I had not expected those words to pass my lips, but I noticed the sick worry within my person swell, he smirked "oh your acting awfully like a girlfriend would," he pulled me in by my hips, planting a proper kiss on my lips, he hadn't done that for a while, always wanting me to take the first step. Once we pulled back he simply walked away not saying anymore, I didn't think he was angered with me for kissing him and him returning it, I actually really liked it. For some reason kissing Dabi on the lips was nothing like kissing another person on the lips, even when healing, it was always accompanied with emotions and pleasure and a lack of concentration, and the need to let go and actually just kiss and delve into the sensations, I would miss him.
