Before I start this chapter, let me clear up any misunderstandings from the previous chapter. Dabi was fighting Shouto but he became overwhelmed with anger that Shouto turned into 'Endeavor' in his eyes. To make things clearer, I'll be using 'Endeavor' with the quotation marks to show that it is Shouto and not the real Endeavor. Hope this clears up any misunderstanding.

Shouto POV

'Tsk. It's bad enough that I failed the hero provisional exam, but now I have to attend the remedial course with Bakugou? Could this get any worse?' Shouto thought to himself as he got ready to go for his morning run. It has been a few weeks since they started attending their remedial course at XX location where they had to do some stuff with 2 others that failed the exam. (don't worry, no spoilers) It made sense that the pro heroes were cautious and wanted to accompany them while commuting to the venue to ensure their safety. Moreover, Eraser Head clearly stated that if anyone wanted to leave the dorm, they had too be accompanied.

As he reached the door of the dorm, he saw Bakugou there all dressed in his running attire. "Shall we go?" Shouto monotonously questioned. "Wait. Shitty hair's coming along." It was rare for Kirishima to join them for their morning runs as everyone knew that he wasn't a morning person. Merely shrugging it off as Kirishima wanting to keep fit, he tightened his shoelaces while waiting for the red head to arrive.

"Bakugou! Todoroki! Sorry I'm late!" Kirishima's voice rang out from the corridor behind them. After Bakugou chided him for being late, they didn't exchange any other words and took off in the direction of the park.

The whole journey from the dorm to the park, the trio ran in silence with Bakugou occasionally giving Kirishima a heads up before they turned. It was really peaceful and Shouto hoped that everyday would remain this way. He knew that it was impossible with villains running loose everywhere but that's why they are training to improve themselves to ensure the peace.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a blue spark. Before he could register what was going on, a line of blue flames came directly at them. The trio instantly jumped out of the line of attack. Blue flames, there could only be one person behind this. Coming out from behind the trees were the Warp and Dabi. Seeing that the Warp was targeting Bakugou, he felt somewhat at ease knowing that Kirishima was with Bakugou. Kirishima attaining his hero license would be able to protect Bakugou if needed. Yep, Bakugou would be fine. Putting that thought aside, he nearly dodged a fire fist to his face. This was no time to be distracted or worried about the other two, he would have time to do that after ensuring his own safety.

Dabi was attacking him relentlessly, not giving him any time to rest. Shouto had been using his ice to protect himself when he wasn't able to dodge completely. He knew that he would get into trouble for using his quirk without permission but he had no choice. Somehow with Dabi continuously pushing him back, they were now separated from Bakugou, Kirishima and the Warp.

"Todoroki Shouto. You seemed to have powered up since the last time I saw you in that forest. But you can't defeat me." Dabi said with a smile on his face as he continued his onslaught of attacks. Aiming ice at Dabi, Shouto asked, "What do you want from me villain." Seeing that his attack missed it's target, Shouto clicked his tongue inwardly. "What else? You keep messing with our plans so I'm here to get rid of you. I'll ease your suffering some." Dabi merely stated as he shot another blast of blue flame at him.

At this point, Shouto was starting to feel a strain on his right hand. He must be reaching his limit soon, but that also meant that the same was for Dabi. Seeing this as a chance to quickly end this, Shouto decided to use his fire instead and activated his left side. Shouto wasn't used to using his left side as much so he knew that his limit was much shorter than that of his ice so he had to end this quickly and rendezvous with Bakugou and Kirishima.

Suddenly Shouto felt something was off, from the moment he activated his left side and Dabi dodging that attack, Dabi had stopped attacking momentarily. Shouto decided to take a closer look at his enemy and what he saw shocked him. Dabi was shaking, his irises were shaking as well and his fist were balled up so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He basically seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

Without warning, Dabi yelled and charged towards Shouto with this blue flame ready to be used anytime. 'Wasn't he reaching his limit? How can he still fight?' Shouto thought to himself as he shielded himself from the blue flames. Shouto knew that Dabi's blue flames were stronger than his own flames. He also knew that he was being pushed back but he had reached his limit with his ice so all he could do now it try to defend against those blue flames.

Shouto must have tripped on a stray stick as the next thing he knew, his back was on the ground with Dabi on top of him. 'This is not good, I need to get help, I need to get away.' Shouto thought as he looked around, hoping to see Bakugou or Kirishima but to no avail. Shouto crossed his arms and braced for an attack and as predicted, Dabi started punching him without using his quirk. He must have reached his limit as well.

"Hahahaha. Look at you. And you call yourself a hero. What a joke! Whatever you're getting now is payback, it's karma coming back to bite you." Dabi stated as he continued to punch Shouto. Looking up, Shouto was shocked to see tears began forming in Dabi's eyes.

"You are the one that destroyed my family. It's your fault that mom is in the hospital!" I destroyed your family? I put your mother in the hospital? What is he talking about? I've never destroyed anyone's family nor put anyone's mother in the hospital.

"It's your fault that I don't even know how my siiblings, how Fuyumi are Natsuo doing!" How is it my fault that you don't even know how your siblings are doing... wait... did he just say Natsuo-nii and Fuyumi-nee? How does he know their names?

With tears rolling down his face, Dabi shouted "It's your fault that Shouto... that Shouto... THAT MY LITTLE BROTHER IS SUFFERING SO MUCH! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Hearing everything, Shouto was beyond shocked. Ignoring the fact that Dabi was still punching him, his brain starting turning and all sorts of questions popped in his head.

Who exactly is Dabi? How did he know Natsuo-nii and Fuyumi-nee? He called them his siblings, but they are MY siblings? And the last part, he definitely said Shouto. It can't be that he Shouto he said and I are the same person. I don't even know him. But he said that Shouto is his little brother. Ya I can't be his little brother, I only know Natsuo-nii, Fuyumi-nee and Toya-niii. He said that his little brother is suffering. Wait. Wait wait wait.

The dots were connecting.

Let's say what ever he said is true.

1. Natsuo and Fuyumi are his siblings, means he has to be a Todoroki. Tick.

2. Mom in the hospital. Yes mom is hospital. Tick.

3. Family destroyed. Well my family could potentially fall under that. Tick.

Dabi is a Todoroki. Or was. Doesn't matter now. Everything he said points to my family but only my family knows about whatever happened... it can't be...

"Todoroki!"

Shouto heard someone shouting his name and that jolted him out of this thoughts. Looking back at Dabi, Shouto saw that he was now crying while punching him. Shouto swallowed a lump that had somehow formed in his throat and stuttered, "To...Toya-nii?"

Dabi's eyes immediately shot open and at that moment, it felt like all time had some to a grinding stop.
