"I'm going to Tijuana, do you guys want anything?" says Izuku.
"Can I come?" asks Dabi.
"Sure, I don't see why not." replies Izuku, "Toga, Eri, will you be fine with us gone?"
"I'll manage." says Toga.
"Alright. We'll be going now." says Izuku, "Oh shit. Toga, Eri, before we go!"
"What, what's wrong?" asks Toga.
Izuku does heart hands, "I'll miss you."
Izuku and Dabi head out.
"Your dads adorable." says Toga.
"Like me?" asks Eri.
"Naw, you're way cuter." says Toga.
Dabi and Izuku hopped in the car and drove to Kurogiri's bar.
"Kurogiri. We'll take a couple of bud lights and a portal to Tijuana." says Izuku.
"Sure." says Kurogiri.
"How you doin'?" asks Izuku.
Shigaraki shoots him a thumbs up, "Who's this goon?"
"He's a friend of mine. We're gonna go down to Tijuana. Whatcha thinking? We gonna fight while we're down there or do you just wanna go places?" asks Izuku.
"I just want a sombrero. Those are cool." says Dabi.
"We'll get you a sombrero. Anything else?" asks Izuku.
"I wanna see a luchador." says dabi.
"That'd be pretty cool." says Izuku, "How bout' you shigaraki? You want anything?"
"I'm fine." replies Shigaraki.
"Cool." says Izuku.
"Your portal is ready." says Kurogiri.
"Thank you kurogiri." says Izuku.
"My pleasure." says Kurogiri.
Kurogiri is a very polite guy.
"Well Dabi, what're your first impressions?" asks Izuku.
"I thought Mexico was more desert." says Dabi.
"Honestly, same here. This actually looks like a pretty substantial city." says Izuku.
"So what do we do now?" asks Dabi.
"You speak spanish right?" asks Izuku.
"Fluently." replies Dabi.
"Where did you learn to do that?" asks Izuku.
"I was flirting with a spanish girl and she taught me a thing or two." says Dabi.
"How'd that go for you?" asks Izuku.
"She was studying abroad but she had to go back so it didn't really go anywhere." says Dabi.
"Well at least you learned spanish." says Izuku.
"Yeah that was kinda neat." says Dabi.
"Anyways we're gonna go buy some sombreros and maybe some cool ponchos. We'll fit right in if we wear those." says Izuku.
"You think so?" asks Dabi.
"Not in the slightest." says Izuku.
"Cool let's go." says Dabi.
Hell yeah. They got some sombreros and cool ponchos.
"Well what now?" asks Dabi.
"Well we left kinda late so it's already getting dark… we could go villain hunting." says Izuku.
"We could, but should we?" asks Dabi, "Do you think it's the best way to find the vigilante."
"Sure I normally just run into whoever I'm looking for. I just gotta move around a lot. Maybe ask a couple of people. She normally works around this time." says Izuku.
"Well alright let's go… actually I don't have a mask. This was kinda spur of the moment so I didn't really bring anything." says Dabi.
"I have a spare mask in my bag." says Izuku, "If we're here for a while you can borrow some of my clothes."
"You sure? Cause I'm gonna bleed on whatever I'm wearing." says Dabi.
"I'll wash them." says Izuku.
"If you're sure." says Dabi.
"Put this mask on and we'll get going." says Izuku.
The two of them start looking around. Not really finding anything. They found a petty thief trying to pickpocket them who got scared shitless when he recognized Ketsueki. They just let him go with a threat and a promise to stop. If he's that desperate there's no sense in doing anything too rash. Man they've actually been looking for a while now. It normally doesn't take this long. It's like 2:00 in the morning.
"What do you say we call it a night and try to find a hotel? You probably need some sleep right?" asks Izuku.
"We could do that… or." says Dabi.
"Or what?" asks Izuku.
"I've seen a bunch of flyers for a wrestling thing. There was a luchador on the front." says Dabi.
"And you'd like to see the luchador?" asks Izuku.
"Yes." says Dabi.
"Do you know how to find the place?" asks Izuku, "Actually isn't it kinda late for that."
"It's a little late but it's in like thirty minutes. Also I put the address in google maps. I can get us there with like ten minutes to spare." says Dabi.
"Alright let's go. It'll probably be a cool experience." says Izuku.
"Hell yeah. You should try to see more stuff when you travel." says Dabi.
"I've got plenty of time. I'm gonna stop aging in my twenties. I'll get around to it." says Izuku.
"That ever scare you?" asks Dabi.
"Not aging?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah." says Dabi.
"Being a vampire has its perks but it has its downsides too. It's weird knowing I'm gonna outlive my daughter. Honestly looking back on it. I took it for granted." says Izuku.
"Mortality?" asks Dabi.
"Humanity." says Izuku, "I never realized it was something I'd miss or something I could feel. But now that it's gone, I kinda miss it. But at the same time I can lift a car now. I don't have to take shits either. That's one of my favorite parts of being a vampire."
"Yeah, that sounds pretty convenient actually." says Dabi.
"Oh it totally is. But at the same time I can't shower so I'm stuck bathing." says Izuku.
"That's kind of a bummer." says Dabi.
"Oh for sure but it's not that big of a deal." says Izuku.
"Hey, we're here." says Dabi.
The two of them paid for entrance. Well Izuku paid, Dabi didn't have any pesos. Izuku didn't mind, he was actually making some decent money these days. Izuku never thought he'd see the day he became the rich friend. Then again his friends were homeless before he met them. The two of them took their seats to the left of the ring. They waited a little for the match to start. Two luchadors came out to the ring to fight. That one looked pretty familiar actually. Oh wait. That's the vigilante he was looking for. What a coincidence. She was actually pretty good at fighting but that probably should have been expected. She finished her match pretty quickly. She raised her fist and looked around the crowd. She froze when she saw Dabi. She did heart hands and waved as she left the ring.
"Was… was she the girl you mentioned?" asks Izuku.
"No. The girl I mentioned had red hair. Not like a redhead her hair was actually red." says Dabi.
"Could she have dyed it?" asks Izuku.
"Maybe but it still wasn't her." says Dabi.
"She thinks you're cute." says Izuku.
"I guess." says Dabi, " I've always been told I'm grotesque."
"We should talk to her." says Izuku.
"I don't really do relationships. I just fuck." says Dabi.
"You don't gotta date her and besides Giran showed me a picture of who we're looking for and I'm pretty sure it's her." says Izuku.
"Oh… Well in that case let's go." says Dabi.
The two of them make their way to the locker room and wait outside.
"Should we knock?" asks Izuku.
"Go for it." says Dabi.
"Hey… I liked your match." says Izuku.
"Are you that cute blue eyed boy from the crowd?" asks the luchador.
"Just a second." says Izuku, "Buddy, she's asking for ya."
"Hey." says Dabi.
"Hey cutie." says the luchador.
"How ya doin'?" asks Dabi.
"Good, you remember me?" asks the luchador.
"... Maria?" asks Dabi.
"Sort of." comes Maria?
"That's kinda weird. What do you mean sort of?" asks Dabi.
The door to the locker rooms opens and she comes out.
"It's a bit of a story. Who's your friend… wait I know you. You're that musician." says Maria?
"Didn't realize I'd be popular all the way over here." says Izuku.
"How long are you guys in town?" asks Maria?
"I don't know, a couple of days." says Dabi.
"Come to my place. We've got some catching up to do." says Maria?
A while later they were in Maria's living room.
"So for why I said sort of." says Maria?
"Yeah I've been wondering about that?" asks dabi.
"Remember my quirk?" asks Maria?
"Yeah, your sweat works like a steroid so you get stronger the longer you fight." says Dabi, "I always thought it was pretty cool."
"Yup. Well a couple years back I met this girl with a real interesting quirk. She has a lot of personality. You'd have loved her. We got married about a year ago." says Maria?
"Wow, good for you." says Dabi.
"I know." says Maria?, "Well that interesting quirk I mentioned was the ability to fuse two people as long as they've got a genuine bond. Her name was Margaret so I put them together and now I go by margarita."
"That's a cool quirk." says Izuku, " Is it possible for you to do more than two?"
"Sure but I usually don't let other people fuse with me. I can let you two fuse if you want to." says Margarita.
Dabi and Izuku look at each other and shrug.
"Okay." says Izuku.
"Sure." says Dabi, "What do we have to do?"
"Just dance together. It doesn't matter how you dance as long as you have some synergy." says Margarita.
Izuku and Dabi get up to dance. Izuku used to suck at dancing and so did Dabi, but Toga taught them to dance. She had a really interesting way of dancing. What was the word for it? She used her hips a lot and so did they. They were getting into it. They actually did have a lot of synergy coming from vaguely similar backgrounds and spending a lot of time together. A burst of light took place between them.
Holy shit this felt weird.
He took a little look around his new body. They felt taller. Were… were they supposed to have four arms? Margarita didn't have four arms. This kinda hurt. He had all of Dabi's pain from his burns and Izuku's joint pain that even vampirism could get rid of. Speaking of vampirism, did this make him a vampire or a human? Or a Dhampir? No… he was something new. What should he call himself? He'd stick with Midoroki? Tozuku? Toku? Yeah that was it. He'd go by Toku.
"Uhm." says Toku.
Woah his voice sounded weird. It was lighter like Izuku's but still gravely like Dabi's. It was kinda creepy. Come to think of it they probably looked creepy.
"How is it?" asks Margarita.
"It's-" starts Toku.
Another burst of light and Izuku and Dabi find themselves on their backs.
"Woah." says Izuku.
"Wow." says Dabi.
That was weird… they saw things they probably shouldn't have. Things neither wanted the other to see, things that happened when they were at their weakest. But at least it went both ways. Still it felt horrible seeing that… but.
"Can we do that again?" the both ask in unison.
"Of course. And Dabi, you've got a cute boyfriend." says Margarita.
"We ain't like that." says Dabi.
"Oh sorry for assuming. It's just you guys held together longer than I expected for two people who aren't in that kind of relationship." says Margarita.
"Dabi's like a brother to me." says Izuku.
"That's really sweet. It's actually adorable." says Margarita, "So you guys wanna try that again?"
They both nod in unison. They spend the rest of the night fusing and crashing. They made sure that Margarita didn't mind. She said she didn't and that she was just glad to have someone to share fusion with. It was actually a really fun night. Just dancing and sharing experiences with Margarita cheering them on in the background. When they all woke up the next day they all realized that Dabi and Izuku weren't there but Toku was there instead. They could go patrolling like this. It would be fun and they seemed to have both of their powers mixed together. That and they had four arms to throw fire from or punch with. It was a little hard getting used to having four arms. It sort of threw they're balance off. Either way he knew he was gonna have some fun with this.
Authors Note
I loved this chapter. I've been toying with the idea of fusion for a while now. I never mentioned it because I was pretty sure I wouldn't do it but I decided to anyway. Maybe I should have asked what you guys thought but I really like it and I hope you do too. I sort of based Margarita's super strength off of bane. The luchador with the steroids, I liked it so I took it and slightly reinvented it. I could do a lot with fusion but this ones my Izuku and Dabi is my favorite. It's gonna put a whole new level of tension to Endeavors hunt for Izuku. There isn't a situation in my head were I could have Izuku fight endeavor without Dabi coming to save him. If they fused they could probably give endeavor a run for his money. Izuku's strength and Dabi's fire power put together has got to be hard to compete with. I'm pretty happy to be writing my 50th chapter and to finally be over one hundred and fifty thousand words. The next chapter or two is gonna follow Margarita and Toku's adventures in Tijuana. After that is gonna be Izuku reuniting with some classmates. That might take a whole chapter or I'm gonna add a concert into it. I don't know just yet. Then there is gonna be a small time skip. A couple of weeks or maybe months leading to Izuku having a large Vigilante following. Once Izuku has a big enough group to feel confident he's gonna strike against the syndicates. After that is gonna be the vampire arc. I'm pretty excited to get into all of that.
I'm really hyped for Izuku's school party thing. School shaped Izuku in a lot of ways. The walls he puts up how he pushes people away or changes subjects whenever he feels like he overshared. He knows his new friends have nothing but good intentions but he's so used to people using his emotions against him that he just expects it. Even before he was a vampire he tried to suppress the things that make him human. I'm not sure if I should bring Toga along for that chapter but I think it would be interesting to see his walls go down in front of her even if it's replaced by wall of anger its an emotion which he tries so hard not to show.
I'm probably gonna have a chapter in heaven or hell soon. I'd like Izuku to meet Dracula and get the whole story of what happened to him but I'd also like him to go to heaven and meet Alucard to hear his end of the story that completely paints Dracula as a monster. Then he could get to hell another time and get Dracula's side of the story. I know I want him to see both sides of the story but I'm not sure which order I want to present them in.
Sometimes I imagine Izuku just sings around the house. He sings when he's driving or doing work around the house. Sometimes he sings to Toga when he's feeling affectionate. Or he'll sing Eri to sleep when she's having trouble.
A little fun thing about this chapter I didn't originally plan on having Margarita know Dabi in any way. I just used the flirting story to explain why Dabi knows spanish. It occurred to me when I was writing about Izuku and Dabi's patrol that I could do that and I think it's a good decision.
I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for sticking with my story for so long and all the comments positive and negative they all mean something to me.
Atomic Dragon 59: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Dawg I've missed your coments so much. I'm super glad to have you back. I'm smiling as I write this and I can't stop. I've always wanted a pimped out van. I kinda put some of my dreams into the story but I stand by the midoriyamobile. I'm still work shopping Izuku and kyoka's jam session but she's gonna flip. I'm also work shopping a short with Izuku and All Might.
I also enjoy the masks Izuku shows people. I don't really like writing emotion but I figured out I can convey emotion by putting up masks. I get to express emotion with a lack of emotion. It's great.
tbh Izuku's scared shit less of Endeavor and Miruko. He thinks hawks has enough restraint not to go too far but after the last couple of Manga chapters I'm not so sure. I think if Miruko wasn't trying to arrest Izuku they'd get along. They've both got a lot of anger in them. You're right though it's definitely Miruko and Endeavor he's really got to look out for. I'm super excited to write Izuku vs. Endeavor mainly because I'm gonna do it through Toku.
