Who Are You?

  (Y/N) walked quietly through the empty alleyway, that was nothing short of dark and creepy. You were walking back to your house after you had picked up a few groceries at the convenience store that was something close to a mile away.

  The sound of approaching footsteps caught your attention, before you gripped a bit tighter on the two bags that you were carrying.

  You didn't look back, as you didn't have the nerves to. Though, something was tugging at you to turn around and look to see who it was. This continued for a good ten minutes before you finally gave in to your urges.

  You turned on your heel swiftly, only for your eyes to be met with the emptiness of the alley.

  Maybe I'm just being paranoid...

  Sighing once more, you turn around before you stifle a scream. A man with deep black hair and violet burns under his eyes stood right in front of you, as if he had always been there. You could smell the aroma of something burning on him, but you couldn't quite place it.

  Attempting to back up, the man quickly grabbed your shoulder and held his hand over your mouth. You dropped your bags and pulled your leg back, swinging forward with full force, aiming at the family jewels.

  The stranger unhanded you and side-stepped, avoiding your direct attack. He then resumed his hold by getting right up behind you, covering your mouth once more before he held another hand in front of you. A light blue flame appeared in his palm, before he whispered against your ear in a deep, husky voice, "If you move, or make a racket that draws attention to us, I'll burn you alive. You understand me?"

  You quickly nod your head, face paling out.

  "Good. Now you're going to walk quietly, and do everything I tell you to do. Now.."

  You felt Dabi remove his hand from your mouth, as he stepped back a few paces to allow you your space.

  "Drop the bags."

  You hesitated for a moment, before complying to his demand, as you dropped the bags to the ground.

  I can't outrun him, he'll just incinerate me.. But I can't just obey his every wish..!! I need a way to get somebody's attention without him noticing.

  "Hey. Did you hear what I said? Step forward."

  The deep voice growled behind you before you were suddenly shoved forward with brute force.

  "A-Alright, alright!!"

  You walked forward, before the man pulled his hood over his head. You glanced back, as he suddenly took his place right at your side. A lit cigarette hung from his mouth, and his eyes were looking at you with a piercing concentration of cobalt blue.

  "Forward, until I say stop."

  You obeyed his command, as you suddenly began to walk forward. He looped his arm around your waist, in which you did not need him to be doing. You gave a warning jab of your nails at his hand, before he backed off. As you shot a glare at Dabi through the corner of your eye, you were able to catch him smirking before he looked up, "Take a left."

  You were getting sick of all the commands. You were your own woman and no one could tell you otherwise! Well.. Almost, no one.

  Taking a left, you noticed the lights coming from a run-down looking bar just down the alley.

  "Forward. We stop at the door. I'll go in first, and no sudden movements. Clear?"

  You nodded your head in response. The two of you approached the door before the man's hand went over your stomach, holding you back. He glared back at you with those fierce eyes, before he opened the door slowly. The thick aroma of tobacco and alcohol filled your senses as you were lead into the cozy waiting area of the bar.

  "Why are we-"

  "Well, look what the cat dragged in."

  Before you could even finish your sentence, you were cut off by a rugged looking man that had a severed hand clasped firmly over his face.

  You recognized this man to be Tomura Shigaraki, the main villain that lead the attack on USJ a while back. He was also supposedly behind the kidnapping of one of the students attending UA.

  Dabi rolled his eyes and pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, approaching a table that had one extremely thick glass tray placed on top of it.

  Flicking off the excess ash, the man blew a cloud of smoke in front of him, giving him a somewhat dangerous aura. You couldn't help but freeze up when he spoke once more, "Do I have to introduce you myself, or are you capable?" He spoke in a monotone voice, before you felt your face flush.

  "I am perfectly capable, thank you very much."

  You cleared your throat as three more people walked into the room. A man known as Kurogiri, Himiko Toga, and Twice, stepped in and took their places. The wisp of a man went behind the counter, and went to cleaning the glasses that were spread out across the bar. Twice sat right in front of Toga in one of the booths that was placed further back into the establishment.

  "My name is (Y/N), and I have a few questions I want answered-"

  The man with a hand clasped over his face raised a hand in objection, "We'll be asking the questions here, thank you."

  You could make out a smile behind the hand, before the stapled man stepped forward, pulling you into a chair.

  "Don't move."

  "Dabi, play nice, now. She could be a valuable asset, and until proven otherwise, you will have to wait your turn to mess with her."

  Thank you.

  You spoke inside of your head, but didn't dare say the words aloud.

  "Tell us about yourself."

  Is this guy serious??

  You took a moment to collect yourself before carefully planning out each word, pausing here and there.

  "My name is (Y/N), and I am 17 years old... I was on my way back to my house when your, erm... Friend, took me back here. I was just running an errand, and to be quite frank.. I have no idea why the hell you brought me here."

  The blonde girl giggled as she toyed with her knife, "I like her already!"

  Resisting the temptation to throw the nearest object at her, you reverted your gaze back to the man who had demanded your introduction.

  "We brought you here because you might know more about the students at UA, and what they are doing currently. Tell me.. What do you do for a living?"

  None of your goddamn business, you so badly wanted to say.

  Swallowing your pride, you spoke once more, a bit more cautious with what words you were using.

  "I am a coordinator for UA highschool."

  You didn't want to give too much information, because you knew it was risky. Already being associated with UA was bad enough, but if you were to let the villains know too much, well... Let's just say your job wouldn't be the only thing that you would be losing.
