"Look who I found?" Toga said giddily as she pushed Momo into the room. She made sure to keep the blade uncomfortably close to Momo's neck, preventing her from making any actions herself. Her gaze was hard, expression closed off, as she looked around the room.
They weren't all here. Bakugo had given her a lot of Intel on the league of villains and she could name everyone in the room with her. Dabi was sitting on the couch when they'd entered, but stood up as at Toga's announcement. Twice was occupied with something at the far end of the room and while he glanced over at them, he didn't actually stop what he was doing to investigate.
"What's this? Another U.A brat?" Dabi asked with a frown.
"I found her outside," Toga said happily. "I bet she's here for Baku-baby."
"Don't call him that!" Momo said through gritted teeth.
Dabi's lips split into a wide grin. "Oh? So you are here for that hot tempered prat? What are you, his girlfriend?"
"That's none of your business," she told him. She wanted to use her quirk right now, break Bakugo out, and go. But there was a plan and she had to play it cool. Her quirk wasn't as fast as the knife pressed into her neck and Dabi seemed like the trigger happy sort. She couldn't risk it.
"Aw, that's so cute!" Toga cooed, leaning closer, moving her knife closer as well. Momo tried not to flinch as it broke skin and she felt the tiniest bead of blood begin to drip. Toga leaned closer. Momo wanted to twist away, keep this lunatic from getting her blood, but she forced herself to stay still. "Baku-baby is ours now, you know? If you want to see him, you'll have to be ours to."
"Alright," she agreed easily. Her heart was beating too fast in her chest. None of them could it though, not even Toga, close as she was. Momo knew what all of their quirks were and she repeated this information to herself over and over again. She had to stay calm if this was going to go right.
"What do you think the chances are of there being two brats willing to betray U.A?" Dabi asked. He held up a hand and Momo couldn't help it, she flinched as it burst into blue flames. "Because I'm willing to bet the odd are pretty slim."
"I'd do anything for Katsuki," Momo told them. She met Dabi's eyes, wished she didn't. All she saw in them was the cold, dispassion of a killer. He would set her on fire without even blinking. It was worse than the friendly mania that Toga wore, more unpredictable. She couldn't control the shiver that ran through her.
"No fair!" Toga pulled back slightly as she whined. "He let's you call him by his first name?" The knife was back, pushing too close into her skin. There was a steady trickle of blood from her neck now. That was too much blood to be losing in a place like this to a person like Toga. "Maybe I should borrow that liberty?"
Dabi tilted his head as he watched her. As abruptly as he'd lit his hand, he extinguished it. "This could be amusing. You want to join us so badly? Beg."
"Please," she began immediately, only to be interrupted by Toga kicking the back of her knees, forcing her to the floor.
"Don't you know how to beg properly?" Dabi asked. "Try again."
Momo pressed her hands to the ground, moving onto her knees as she bowed. "Please…"
The weight of Dabi's boot came down on her back, forcing her even lower. "Once more."
Momo bit her lip, keeping her eyes to the ground lest they see the hatred that filled her eyes. It was almost time. Not much longer now, she knew it. She took a deep breath, she lowered her head until it was touching the ground.
Then the back wall exploded with an enraged cry. Momo had never been so happy to hear that voice in her lift. "Get the fuck away from her!" Katsuki yelled.
Momo didn't hesitate, using the distraction he'd caused to create a staff and jam it upward into Dabi's thigh. He tripped off of her and she swing it again until he was down.
"Baku-baby!" Toga exclaimed before she had to duck to avoid an explosion to the face as he came to stand beside her.
"If you fuckers ever touch her again–"
"I knew it was too good to be true!" Twice yelled. "It was a set up all along!"
"How could you do this to us?" he asked in a slightly different voice.
Neither of them had time to answer. The area around Dabi exploded with blue flames as he picked himself up from the ground. "That… was annoying," he said.
"You idiot! Don't set this place on fire!" Toga yelled.
"You'll get over it," Dabi told her.
Momo had planned to do this from the start, had researched for this mission just for this eventuality, but she was still surprised when she did it. In one motion she stepped in front of Katsuki, quickly creating a gun in each hand and pointing them at Dabi and Toga. "We're leaving here unscathed," she told them. "Or at least one of you won't be leaving at all."
Dabi stopped in his tracks. The fire wasn't extinguished, but she didn't see him making anymore. "What kinda hero are you, huh?"
"I told you I'd do anything for Katsuki," she said.
She felt Katsuki wrapping an arm around her waist. Supportive, ready to take off at a moment's notice if they had to. They'd talked about this plan from the beginning and even if neither of them liked it, they had agreed. He had the reputation, so he had to be the one to infiltrate the league, but if he was going to be the one in more danger, then she was going to be the one to get him out of it by any means possible. If Katsuki could betray his own morals for the mission, so could she. So he was a traitor and she, is she needed to be, would be a murderer.
"You won't do it," Toga said. "She won't do it!"
"That's a dirty trick!" Twice yelled. "It's a-okay!" He gave he a wink and a thumbs up.
"I'm calling your bluff, Dabi said, lunging forward at them flames first.
Katsuki's arms tightened around her waist.
Momo pulled the trigger.
