Mystery from Another World--MHA

Part 111: Dabi slips

Shine got the call about 20 minutes after leaving...

"Oh no..." she said.

"What?" Wally said.

"They waited till we left to attack...how do they time this so perfect? We have to go back before they get all of them," Shine said.

"Right. On it," Wally picked her up and ran.

* * *

"We're coming--" Shine was saying on the phone when a ninja knocked it out of Mirko's hand.

Then they crushed it with their pole.

"No calling in back up," they spoke for the first time. "Just you and us, huh 5?"

The two villains didn't count, apparently...well they were useless.

"That's the way l like it," Mirko refused to show fear...though she didn't feel as confident as normal.

She could take them, but they just kept coming.

Now they had them in a dead end...this was what came of not knowing the area you were in.

More were on the roofs on both sides in case she tried to jump.

Maybe she could still make it, but those two losers wouldn't be able to.

"Why didn't you stop my quirk?" she asked, trying to bluff, maybe Hawks would come over and be helpful for once.

"Oh, do you not get it?" the ninja said. "How cute...you're kind of stupid for a pro."

"You like to talk a lot for a ninja," Mirko kicked them into a wall.

Dabi snickered. That was kind of funny.

"Heard you were strong enough to take on nomu single handedly," another ninja taunted Mirko from overhead. "But even you can't fight a whole army."

"Give me the chance," Mirko rubbed her arm. "Hard to believe so many quirkless freaks exist around here."

"She's really mean," Dabi said to Shigaraki in a low voice. "Even for a pro. How did you even work with her?"

"I've been asking myself that since I started," Shigaraki replied dryly. "But for once, this could work for our advantage...they're awfully chatty. Don't ruin it."

"I'm not complaining," Dabi muttered.

"You look down on us so much," one ninja landed in front of her. Staff in hand. A smallish woman, it looked like. "But what makes it so much better to have a quirk? You're so desperate to keep it you'd help bloodthirsty killers? People who never should have been born."

The ninja looked at the two villains.

"All kinds of rumors go around...Devil child."

That didn't make any sense to Mirko, but Dabi saw Shigaraki flinch like he knew what that meant.

Dabi had been called worse since leaving home, but he knew Devil Child was a common thing to call kids with bad quirks. 

"We're doing them a service, really," the ninja said. "It's a pity you can't see it, hero. You're the problem, you're the ones who encourage people to 'make the most of their quirks' whatever it is you say. When do you ever remember there are people out there without quirks? We're less than nothing in this world...Even villains make a name for themselves with their quirks, but what can we do? Yet, we're the only true humans out of all of you...you're all devils, really. Just some are worse than others. You can't bear to give it up, can you? You're sick."
