Dabi POV

He couldn't control it. The tears were spilling from his eyes onto 'Endeavor'. Staring at the man under him, all he saw was red yet his heart arched thinking about his family members. As if on cue, he heard someone calling out his family name. It sounded distant but it had managed to grasp his attention. 'That was strange, why would anyone call out his family name out of nowhere? No one addressed Endeavor with his family name. Could it be that a family member was nearby? I can't let them find out that I'm a villain, not like this anyways.'

Despite all the thoughts running through his head, a stuttering voice managed to pull him out of his thoughts. "To...Toya-nii?"

Those two words, although said softly, blocked out all other sounds in the area. Hearing that, he snapped out of his angered state and looked down at the man below him. There was no way that Endeavor would know his true identity. No one knew Dabi's real name, not even Shigaraki Tomura. Who called his name? His vision was clouded and blurry with all the tears but he managed to pick up traces of white and red. Blinking a few times, the tears obstructing his vision fell off and it was then when he realised that he was staring straight into the eyes of his youngest brother. At this point, it felt like all time had come to a complete stop.

'Shouto? When did he get here?' Thinking back to the things he said in his state of anger. It all made sense. He wasn't fighting Endeavor, he was fighting Shouto all along but the anger made him lose his sense of reasoning. If that was true it means that Shouto had heard everything that he said. 'Wait. Did Shouto just call me Toya-nii? Could it be that he figured out my true identity? That's impossible! That's bad!'

Noticing Shouto's confused expression below him, he concluded that Shouto was only guessing that he was Toya. Seeing that, Dabi inwardly released a breadth that he had been holding. He was glad that he did not hurting Shouto too badly in his delirious state.

"Get away from him!" Dabi turned to the direction of the voice, barely dodging at attack at him. Coming into view was none other than Eraser head, Bakugou and the red head. At that moment, a warp opened behind him. Noticing that he had no chance of winning, he decided to retreat. "Till we meet again... Todoroki Shouto." Dabi said in Shouto's direction.

Stepping into the warp, Dabi was instantly transported from the park back to the villain hideout. He knew that Shigaraki Tomura was going to mention something about them failing their mission and he was too tired to deal with it. Therefore, before anyone could say anything, he said to no one in particular "I'll succeed next time."

Dabi sauntered back to his room and lay down on his bed. Thinking back on everything that has happened, he was 70% sure that Shouto would figure out his true identity. Shouto was pretty smart after all. The thought of Shouto knowing that he was Dabi made him excited yet afraid. He was excited as there was a chance where he could reunite with his family again after so long. Yet, he was afraid. Afraid that they would call him a villain and not accept him for who he was. Afraid that Shouto would tell his friends and risk them getting hurt from doing reckless things.

Dabi closed his eyes and let his thought run wild in his head. 'I really messed up this time...'

Shouto POV

It was a strange sight really. Seeing a villain look so lost, afraid, sad and angry at the same time was something new for him. What made him really confused was the sudden change in behavior after merely mentioning two words. Although he called out Toya-nii's name unconsciously, he didn't expect anyone to hear him nor get any response. Looking into Dabi's eyes, he could only see that he was clearly confused with a subtle hint of fear. A response that he did not anticipate.

The both of them stared deep into each other's eyes hoping to find the answers they were respectively looking for. After a while, Dabi seemed to release a breath that he had been holding and was that a smile? It wasn't his normal sinister filled with evil smile. It was more of a 'relief' smile, a gentle one.

There was so much going on and so much to take in that Shouto didn't notice that Bakugou, Kirishima and Aizawa-sensei had reached.

"Get away from him!" Aizawa-sensei's voice broke their silence and he noted sensei's cloth reaching to hit Dabi. Ah Kirishima was the one shouting his name. He continued looking as Dabi was pushed back before disappearing into a warp behind him. "Till we meet again... Todoroki Shouto." Was it just me or did Dabi say the second part in a different tone from the first? It seemed much softer if not gentler.

"Todoroki. Are you hurt?" Kirishima asked as he skidded to a stop beside him.

"No.. I'm fine..." Shouto was still in his state of shock and was trying to absorb everything that has happened.

"What happened?" Aizawa-sensei's voice shook him out of his state of shock and he turned to his teacher. Leaning on Kirishima's offered arm, he stood up and swiped the dust off him.

"What else does it look like, we got attacked by villains!" Bakugou finally spoke up

"Bakugou, watch your tone..." Kirishima gently chided at the exposive boy only received a 'tch' as a response.

"Let's get back to the dorm to treat your injuries." Aizawa-sensei looked at his students and were glad that they did not suffer from any serious injuries, they were strong.

"Sensei why'd you come find us?" Kirishima asked.

"Explosions." Aizawa-sensei only said one word which explained everything. He heard Bakugou's quirk going off.

The rest of the walk back to the dorm was quiet with Kirishima and Bakugou exchanging a few words and Aizawa-sensei on the look out for any other attacks. Shouto's mind traveled back to the fight that just happened. There were so many things running through his mind. So many questions. Yet the biggest question to sum everything up was:

'Who is Dabi'
