Dabi's POV

This seriously sucks. When I first joined the League I didn't know what to expect but it certainly wasn't following around some Yakuza creep like Overhaul. Twice and Toga had been carted off to the Hassaikai headquarters whilst I spent my days following the beak wearing bastard around all day.

I wasn't able to track his movements whilst he was at their base but his everyday activities outside were driving me mad. Like how much hand sanitizer does one man need, especially one who wears gloves all day?! It's not like we are in a pandemic! He had wandered around seemingly without aim for the past hour and as the sky began to darken so did my mind.

Is this seriously my life now? The League on the verge of collapse, the hero society I tried so hard to disband remaining in tact, and worst of all Kimi becoming nothing more than a memory of the life I could have had.

The reflection of the dim streetlights danced against the damp concrete ground like pale orbs casting a supernatural glow across the street. I had grown accustomed to my role as the silent stalker. I had followed Kimi, Fuyomi, Natsuo and Shoto enough times to know how to not get caught. But unlike with my previous pursuits, my mind burned with hated when I glared at Overhaul. He slowed his pace momentarily before walking towards the central hospital, probably to steal some hospital grade hygiene products the annoying bastard. But before I could roll my eyes for the millionth time today, he knocked on the side door and stepped back, his steely gaze remaining locked on the metalic door.

"You're early." Came a weasy voice as a four armed man stepped out to greet Overhaul with a displeased glare.

"No you're just late." He replied nonchalantly.

"Well unlike some ganglords I actually have work to do." He countered all four of his hands clenching in annoyance.

I felt myself freeze. I knew this creep, he works with Kimi so what the hell is he doing with Overhaul?! I had kept tabs on Kimi for years and this guys in particular always seemed off but I never once suspected that he'd be involved with the Hassaikai.

"Do you have the samples or not?" Overhaul asked in a bored tone.

"Yes, though I don't like handing over samples to those who don't know how to use them properly. I will stop by next week to review your findings and examine the girl for myself." He replied bitterly handing over a refrigerated container.

"I understand. What about your test subject?" Overhaul asked with distain.

"She still doesn't know so we don't have to worry but I would be interested in seeing how we can fully utilize her and if we go too far we can always restore her with your quirk."

I felt a lump forming in my throat. They have to be talking about Kimi. I know for a fact she volunteers at the hospital and donates blood samples for scientific research. Overhaul's quirk destroyed Magne, there is no way in hell I'm letting him anywhere near Kimi. I would sooner watch the world burn.

"Thank you for your time this evening. I'll inform you of any updates. Goodbye doctor." He called walking away with the container in hand. For a moment I remained frozen behind the brick wall I had used for cover, all thoughts of my tailing him gone. I have to tell Kimi. Shutting Overhaul down whilst the League are so involved will only mean she is more likely to fall in with Shigaraki again. I need to warn her.
