Dabi grabbed Midoriya's limp body by the legs and Toga grabbed him by the shoulders as they carried him back to their base. His arms dangled limply but seemed to tense up whenever Toga leaned down and licked the blood off of his face. When the trio went under a streetlight right outside the abandoned building Toga and Dabi lived in they finally saw the state he was left in. His left arm was bending the wrong way. His head was bleeding profusely. He had one of his ribs slightly protruding from his chest. He left a trail of blood back to their base as it dripped from his back which was torn to shreds. His left shoe had a nail running through it that he stepped on in his concussion induced march through the city. His pants were soaked in blood and torn by his ankles revealing a gash in his right leg. His mask and tie were starting to look crimson as they loosely hung onto his body. His torso was bruised in different shades of purple,blue,and green. His arms had a series of bruises and cuts going up and down. His knuckles were split open and bleeding. His eye bags were so deep from his lack of sleep that they were darker than some of his bruises. In every sense of the word he looked dead.
"Jesus fucking christ. We need to fix this guy up." says Dabi.
"Can I clean his cuts?" asks Toga excitedly.
"You want his blood don't you?" asks Dabi as they make their way inside.
"Yup." says Toga happily.
Their home is poorly lit with candles that burn with a blue flame. It is dusty and their isn't much for furniture. Just a beat up couch, table with only one chair and three other doors. One door had a large T cut into it, the other had a B and the last door had a D. Dabi and Toga set Midoriya on the table and Toga runs into the B room and comes back with a first aid kit. Toga gets to cleaning all of the gashes on Midoriya's back as soon as Dabi pulls out the pieces of concrete with tweezers. It takes a while but all of Midoriya's wounds are empty and disinfected. Toga happily looks at her bloody cloth while Dabi works on stitching Midoriya's back. Once Dabi finishes that they flip him onto his back and work on the cuts and bruises along his arms and legs. They have Toga clean them before Dabi stitches them shut.
"Toga, call Giran and tell him we found his guy." says Dabi.
"Yep." says Toga cheerfully.
Toga calls Giran and puts him on speaker before setting her phone down and getting back to work.
"Hey. Did you find him?" asks Giran.
"Get over here." says Dabi and the line goes dead.
Once they get rid of all of the wounds on his arm Dabi bandages Midoriya's head wound and hopes he doesn't.
"What's next?" asks Toga.
"I don't know." says Dabi.
"What do you mean?" asks Toga.
"I don't know how to fix bruises or set broken bones, especially not bones that are sticking out of the body." says Dabi seemingly uninterested in what he's doing.
A knock on the door snaps the two out of their conversation. Dabi walks over to the door and peers out of the peephole in the door and sees Giran pacing worriedly.
Dabi opens the door and says, " Hey."
"Where is he? Is he okay?" Asks Giran as he pushes his way past dabi and into the house.
"Hey Giran." says Toga.
Giran ignores her and rushes to Izuku's side.
"Shit kid." Giran mutters before speaking at a normal volume although it was done frantically, " Do either of you know how to set broken ribs?"
"No." says Dabi.
"Sorry boss." says toga.
"Damnit." whispers Giran.
Giran reaches over to check Midoriya's pulse. He waits for a while with his hand on Midoriya's wrist and feels nothing. He sighs deeply and painfully.
"Shit kid. I wanted you to be a vigilante because you were a good person who deserved better than what they had. I never meant for this to happen to you or your mother. I'm so sorry." whispers Giran.
Toga gently wraps her arms around Giran in an attempt to comfort him. Dabi puts his hand reassuringly on Giran's shoulder. Neither of them had seen the man express emotion. It was hard to believe that he could. They both wondered what made this vigilante so special that it actually hurt Giran to lose him.
"It's going to be okay." whispers Toga.
"... Yeah. He never said it but I think this is what the kid wanted deep down. He was such a wonderful person. He was easily the purest person I've ever met. If life had been kinder to him he would have made the world around him a brighter place. His smiles lit up a room even though they were fake his smile actually made me feel something. If they were real smiles I doubt even I'd be able to say no to him." says Giran.
Once again Toga and Dabi found themselves shocked at the way Giran was talking about this guy. They wished they could meet him. The sound of a phone ringing cut through the air like a bullet. Giran found that the source of the ringing phone was Midoriya's pocket. Giran looked at the phone and noticed two things one is that the phone was cracked and the other is someone named 'Auntie' was calling.
"What should I do?" asks Giran.
"Answer it." says Toga.
"I can't answer it." says Giran.
"Of course you can." says Toga as she reaches up and answers the call.
"Hello." calls out a feminine voice.
"Hi." says Giran uncertainly.
"This isn't who I thought it was." says the voice.
"Oh well. I guess you have the wrong number." says Giran.
"Are you Giran?" asks the voice.
"...I am." says Giran.
"Well I know Izuku is a vigilante and that you are his informant." says the voice.
"Who are you?" asks Giran.
"I'm Ruby. Now tell me where Izuku is. I saw everything on the news how hurt is he? Asks Ruby.
"... He doesn't have a pulse." says Giran.
"Yeah, he never has a pulse." says Ruby.
"Wait so is he still alive?" asks Giran a little too loudly.
"I'll check soon to make sure. Where are you?"
Giran tells her the address and she makes her way over.
"So is he alive?" asks Dabi.
"He might be. Someone he knows is coming over to find out. He doesn't have a pulse no matter what he's doing. He might just be unconscious." says Giran.
"From what I know he's tough. I'm sure he'll make it." says Dabi.
"Yeah… Does she know how to set ribs?" asks Dabi.
"I don't know I've never met her before." replies Giran.
"Oh." says Dabi.
"Are you sure it's okay to bring her here?" asks Toga.
"...Not really but she was saved in his contacts so she probably will be." says Giran.
A knock on the door alerts them to the elder vampires presence. Giran looks through the peephole and sees a tall, black haired woman in her twenties. He opens the door and greets her.
"Where is he?" asks Ruby.
"Over here." says Giran as he guides her to the table.
"You did a pretty good job with the stitching." says Ruby.
"Thanks." says Dabi, Ruby looks back at him in surprise as she hadn't noticed him or Toga.
"Is he okay?" asks Giran.
Ruby puts her hand over his head. Her hand seems to vibrate and her eyes dilate. She suddenly aggressively pulls her hand away from him.
"What did you do?" asks Giran.
"I looked for any brain activity." says Ruby.
"And… is he okay?" asks Giran.
Ruby sighs deeply before saying, "I'm sorry but he's dead."
"No." says Giran in shock.
"He won't stay dead." Ruby reassures.
Giran looks at her for a moment before leaning in and whispering, " did you turn him into a vampire?"
"Yeah." says Ruby.
"So how do we bring him back?" asks Dabi.
"He needs my blood to be willfully given to him." says Ruby as she cuts her wrist with her claws and lets her blood roll off of her fingers into his open mouth.
"What now?" asks Giran.
"We wait for him to wake up. His wounds will heal and push the stitches out of his body. He'll still feel the pain from dying so we should treat him gently but without pity. He's going to be cold. Freezing actually, do you have any spare clothes to cover his upper body?" says Ruby.
"Nothing that would fit him." says Toga.
"I have an old jacket but that's it. We aren't what you'd call rich." says Dabi.
"Knowing him he'll more than make up for it." says Ruby.
"I'll be right back." says Dabi
"I've never seen him wear anything else." says Toga.
"So… how did you find him?" asks Ruby.
"Giran's directions." says Toga.
"Okay , how did you find him?" she asks Giran.
"I put a tracker in his shoe and I think he stepped on a nail or something and broke it, But I knew about where he was." says Giran.
"Yeah, we pulled a nail out of his foot." says Toga.
"Here you go." says Dabi as he walks back in with a small jean jacket.
"That's not gonna fit him ya dingus." says Toga.
"It's the only other article of clothing I own." says Dabi.
"It'll be fine." says Ruby as Dabi puts the jacket on Midoriya.
"Is he gonna wake up soon?" asks Toga.
Midoriya jumps of the table screaming the word, "FUCKER" while sharpening his claws and extending his fangs. He looks around for a couple of seconds and sees Dabi and Toga in front of him and misses Ruby and Giran behind him. "Who the hell are you?"
"Ketsuiki." calls out Ruby.
Midoriya turns and sees Ruby and Giran standing in front of him, " Am I safe here?" asks Midoriya.
"Yeah." replies Ruby.
"Oh good… also why am I in unbearable pain?" asks Midoriya calmly despite feeling like he's dying.
"That's a side effect of what happened to you." says Ruby.
"And what did happen to me?" asks Midoriya.
"You were fighting the villains muscular." starts Ruby.
"After that I heard two voices then I blacked out." says Midoriya.
"Those may have been our voices." says Toga.
"Okay you were the light voice." says Midoriya.
"Am I the deep voice?" asks Dabi.
"Yeah, you are." says Midoriya, "Okay so I blacked out… then what happened?"
"... You died again." says Ruby.
Everyone in the room pauses to process this information except Midoriya.
"Alright, well I'm tired and dead both inside and out so I'm going home." says Midoriya.
"Well there are still a lot of things I need to tell you." says Ruby.
"Can we wait until we get to my house?" asks Midoriya.
"Yeah, but what are you in such a rush for." asks Ruby.
"I left my cigarettes in my old suit also I want whiskey and cat videos." says Midoriya.
"That sounds fun can I come?" asks Toga.
"I guess." says Midoriya.
"Dabi are you coming too?" asks Toga
"Hey you both look really skinny. When was the last time you ate?" asks Midoriya.
"It's been a while." says Dabi.
"You're both coming to my house getting food and getting out of this freezing abandoned building and warming up. It's the least I can do cause you save my life and all that." says Midoriya.
"Sounds good to me." says Dabi who finally shows a little excitement.
"Hooray." says Toga.
The four of them went back to Midoriya's house and Midoriya played cat videos on his laptop that he set up to his T.V. He was in the kitchen cooking some of the meals his mom taught him how to make. He was gonna make a buffet for them.
"Hey kid." says Ruby.
"Hey." replies Midoriya.
"So we have to talk." says Ruby.
"Do we?" asks Midoriya, " We could just drink, smoke, and watch cat videos."
"Yeah, as great as that sounds we do need to talk." says Ruby.
"Alright but I'm gonna repress my emotions and use vigilantism to vent my frustration and I hope you know that." says Midoriya.
"I expected it." says Ruby.
"Good." says Midoriya, " So what do we need to talk about?"
"We need to talk about the effect dying has on your soul." says Ruby.
"And what effect is that?" asks Midoriya.
"It chips away at your soul. You'll start to lose your emotions then you'll lose your morals. I'm not saying that you have no room for error but try to be more careful and stick to villains you know you can beat… You remind me of the vampire that made me a vampire. His name was Vlad Tepes. He was a great fighter and stubborn. He was willing to die if he could save a life and he didn't seem to care whether he lived or died." says Ruby.
"Yeah. I see why I remind you of him." says Izuku.
"One day he bit off more than he could chew. I don't think dying scared him. But losing him scared me… I don't want to lose you to." says Ruby.
"...I'll do what I can to come home… well I was gonna see breathing but I don't do that so I'll just say living." says Midoriya.
"That's all I want." says Ruby, "... Vlad gave me a gift the second time I died. He said it was like a coming of age event for a vampire. I'll pass it down to you soon."
The two quickly finished conversing and brought food out to Dabi and Toga before getting plastered. Midoriya didn't know at the time but Dabi and Toga were basically moving into his house, and he wouldn't get rid of them for all of the peace and quiet in the world.
authors note
I don't think that this was a very exciting chapter I do however think that it did a good job explaining how vampiric semi-immortality works in my story. Also Midoriya is keeping Dabi's jean jacket to form his delinquent look. It's all about that denim. I think true immortality is too much so I made him need help and I made him lose something whenever he dies. Also I want to say that Midoriya's regeneration don't get rid of scars. They will cover his skin. As for Ruby's gift to Midoriya it will be based on something that a vampire from a show has. I won't say the show because that will ruin the surprise. Anybody who understands what she gives him gets Deku points. They have no value and they are also not real but that goes for all point systems. Also Izuku will call Aizawa soon.
Big-loaf-of-bread: I can't make him too strong without writing myself into a corner. He stops aging at twenty five but can choose to age whenever he wants. Also I plan on having Ruby be a lot older than 90. She is older than All For One.
AmadeusAmadeus: It was a good idea but I think my story should stay rated T. I think I'll call this ability bloodboost. I think it sounds pretty cool. I think they knew if he wasn't their they had no chance at living through the fight. I'm glad Toga and Dabi are in the story but I have no idea how to right dialogue for a crazy person but I guess I will just have to figure it out as I go. I'm really glad you pointed out that Dabi and Toga didn't know Izuku was. If it weren't for you I never would have done anything with the tracker in Midoriya's shoes. I like the blood trail idea but I want to do something with the tracker. I could probably reuse the tracker idea if I put Izuku up against any other big villains.
AtomicDragon59: For the water hose duo. I have a lot of roads I can take with this. I will choose one for next chapter to let you know which path I have taken. I think that dialogue between Izuku and Toga can be funny if I do it right. I think if I have it emotionally and mentally scar Dabi it will be a little bit funnier than it would otherwise. Imagine Dabi walking in on the two of them with their mouths on the other persons neck while blood trails down there back. How do you react to that? What do you say? Do you leave? Probably. Will Dabi panic and freeze up in fear and watch. Also probably. It's blood sucking time at Izuku's house.
Kakerot Bardockson: I enjoyed the update as well. As for adding more powers to Izuku's arsenal I like the idea. I have to keep the powers balanced but that's a part of the fun of writing. Both of the powers you suggested are fun and creative but I feel like they are two strong for me to add to the story. I have a lot of ideas for powers I could give to Izuku. I don't want to say for sure that I will give him more powers but I think it could be fun.
