Todoroki's POV
"Kuroiro I'm betting you five dollars to sneak into Bakugou's room and steal one of his hoodies." I suggest to him and he glares at me playfully, a smile grin appearing on his face.
"Is my life worth only five dollars to you?"
"Perhaps."
"....turn it up to 15 and we have a deal. Actually, 15 dollars per article of clothing." He says sinisterly and holds out his hand for a handshake. I glare back at him but shake his hand reluctantly.
"You're lucky my dad is rich." Our hands part and Kaminari and Tsuburaba look at the two of us, confused.
"Are you guys dealing drugs??"
"Yeah and without us??" Kaminari asks and Tsuburaba adds on. We stare at the two boredly and begin to answer, but we're cut off by Fukidashi.
"Nah, Kuroiro Just prostitued himself." Fukidashi says and it subtitles onto his speech bubble, earning him a smack upside the bubble from Kuroiro.
"Hey! No violence on the train!" Fukidashi laughs.
"Yes, please no violence on the train... and Kuroiro, I will give you all of my allowance money if you steal his whole ass wardrobe." Izuku looks at Kuroiro with a smug smirk and confident gaze.
"That's... unexpected. But deal." Kuroiro does some quick finger guns at him and Izuku does them back; the language of bisexuals.
"Wow, Shihai, you're Midoriya and Todoroki's prostitute but not mine? I feel betrayed." Honenuki laughs and Kaminari, Tsuburaba and Fukidashi each let out a quiet "oooooo."
"Juuzo don't-"
"No, it's fine, I see how it is. You don't get any teeth smooches tonight."
"Nooooo!"
"You guys are gay."
"Shut it, Goat boy."
"oooooo."
"Guys, knock it off, the train is stopping." I cut them all off and, right on time, the train stops the doors open. Everyone in our classes join hands and we all walk out, forming a small herd as we walk back to the school campus.
"So should I steal from his wardrobe tonight or???"
"Yes. After he's asleep."
"When does he sleep?"
"Eight o'clock sharp."
"Wow what a weakling."
"I know right?"
"But how do I sneak in without getting caught?"
"Yeah you're right.. man if only we had someone with like.. a warp portal quirk."
"True true... I think I'll just sneak in later at night. Prepare your wallet."
"Sounds like a plan." We highfive and go our separate ways to each dorm building. We all enter the building and I finally get a good look at the time, it's about 7:30. Which means Bakuhoe will be going to bed soon, but because of the multiple wars that went on today, and the huge dinner we had at Gang Orca's house, everyone's so tired out that they head back to their rooms. I see Bakugou go behind Kirishima and hook his arms around his neck, leaning against him as Kirishima leads them up to their floor.
"Ei I'm too fuckin tired to go to my room... can I crash in yours?"
"Anything for you, Katsuki." He laughs as they take the elevator.
Perfect. Kuroiro can basically steal anything from his room now.
"Hey Sho.. can I sleep over in your dorm tonight?" Izuku yawns and rubs his eyes, looking up at me adorably.
...Whelp, duty calls.

Dabi's POV
"My first son... born with a fire quirk!"
"Touya, what is wrong with you?! You're weak!"
"When will you learn being naive and kind gets you nowhere?? You need to be strong!"
"Leave. Get out of my sight. You're no longer worth my time."
"Hey Touya! Come play with us!!"
"Touya!! Look!! Our new baby brother, Shouto! Isn't he great?"
"Yeah.. he is!"
"Did you see Shouto's new quirk? He has ice and fire! Like mom *and* dad!"
"Fire..like D-Dad..?"
"I haven't seen Shouto in months... where is he? What's dad doing with him?"
"I don't know... I'll ask when I see him."
"It's been a year... did you ask dad about Shouto?"
"He won't respond to me.."
"T-Touya... why is mommy in the hospital..?"
"I.. I don't know, Natsuo."
"Touya! Did you see what happened to Shouto's face???"
"No! What happened??? Please stop crying, it'll be ok!! I promise!! I'm here for you.."
"Touya.. please... you can't just.. *leave* us..."
"Fuyumi, I-"
"What will Natsuo think? He looks up to you! And little Shouto!"
"I can't, I just ca-"
"Think of mom, Touya! She loves you! You can't leave her- leave *us* behind!"
"...Goodbye, Fuyumi."
"No... Touya! TOUYA! TOUYA!!"
I wake up in a cold sweat and tears pouring down my face, stinging the open wounds and dead skin on my face as the salt pours onto it. I rub my eyes viciously, trying desperately to make the stinging sensation stop. It burns.. it burns! Who's Touya?!
Once I rub all of the tears from my eyes and dry the wet spots on my face, I look around. Oh yeah, I'm in that infirmary thing in UA... and confined in some metal cuffs... no problem. I flash some fire around both of my wrists and ankles, the cuffs melt only after a short while, and I pull out both my wrists and ankles before the hot metal has a chance to touch me. After escaping from them, I rub at my wrists and ankles, the stinging already starting to begin from where I summoned my fire.
"What was that dream... who's Shouto? And Natsuo? Fuyumi? ...who's Touy- aGh!"
I grip my head as it pounds painfully. I'm lightheaded, and I see... some odd flashbacks play for mere seconds in my head, before disappearing. I see continuous flashes of white and red, some blues and purples were in the mix... but not much... what's happening to me?
I stand up at the side of the bed and nearly collapse from the pain in my head, gripping the nightstand next to me and trudging slowly around the infirmary. This place will have Pills in the cabinets... so I drag myself up to the closest medicine cabinet I could find and use the counter beneath it as leverage. The more I reach out to open the cabinet and grab a pill bottle, the more it feels like tiny needles are stabbing the backs of my eyes, and someone is jackhammering their way into my skull.
"Ibuprofen... ibuprofen..." I mutter to myself while going desperately through the pill bottles, ecstatically grabbing the last bottle labeled 'Ibuprofen'. I open it immediately and pour out about 5 in my hand, throwing them into the back of my mouth and swallowing them dry, grimacing at the taste.
'I need to get out of here...' I think to myself and stand as straight as I can, my bones snap, crackle, popping as I do. I make my way to the door and look out of the window to make sure no one is there, and sneak out of the room. It's pitch black out here and I can't see a goddamn thing. Regardless, I try and make my way down the stairs of this huge-ass building, and walk out onto the first floor.
'That was too easy.' I think to myself as I casually walk out onto the grass in the front of the school, heading straight for the exit. Until, I see a patrol out on the front lawn. I can't tell who it is, but regardless, I run in the opposite direction, stepping as quietly as possible. Looking back, I see the security bot caught a glimpse of me, and I full on sprint into the nearest building, opening the door, and shutting it quietly behind me. Hopefully that bot didn't register that I was comepletely there...
Looking around, I see I'm in a familiar area, and memories start to flashback painfully once more.
...
"Touya, you know I'll always be there for you right?"
"I know, Natsuo... Fuyumi too."
"Exactly, so you can talk to us whenever you need to. And little Shouto, too!"
"Yeah I'll... be sure to do that."
...
They... depressed me, saddened me. Like I could feel whatever this Touya-guy was feeling... why did this feel so real? Who are these people? Dammit Shiggy, Kurogiri, Where are you?
What's happening to me?
Kuroiro's POV
"Operation: Sneak is a go, lads." I whisper to myself like a completely sane person as I go into Bakugou's room and snag all of his clothes, putting them into a trash bag. After successfully loading it up, I walk out of his dorm and close the door behind me silently, sneaking around the corners and taking the stairs to walk down to the common room and then nyoom out of here.
I step foot into the common room, until I hear someone else's footsteps near the door. On instinct, I run back to the darkened hallway and completely blend into the black scenery. I look to see who ran into the dorms, and see a man with black and spiky hair, purple dead and burned looking skin stapled to his body.
...wait. He's from the training camp.
He lit the huge fire that nearly burned down the forest!
I glare and set aside the garbage bag of Bakugou's clothes, sneaking around and melting into a black coffee mug sat on the coffee table near him. Once I get close enough, I see that he doesn't look stoic, or smug, or anything... he looks disoriented and in pain. I don't feel sympathy for him, but it's just... odd. He looks like he doesn't even know where he is!
"Where am I...? How do I get past that bot...!"
...okay, so he really didn't know where he was.
Once he starts pacing around to find an escape and gets far enough way from me, I meld into the black remote right next to where I was standing before, and run back into the hallway, pulling out my phone. I immediately text Aizawa about the intruder, I love Dad King But Aizawa's more suited for capture, and also text Todoroki.
...
Private messages between BeCarefulMakingWishesInTheDark and IcyT H O T
BeCarefulMakingWishesInTheDark: I'm in the dorms. There's a villain on the main floor. Don't attack him, just meet me in the hallway connecting to the common room. Find a black rope and bring it.
IcyT H O T: Kinky
BeCarefulMakingWishesInTheDark: Todoroki I'm serious
IcyT H O T: I know I'm sorry I don't handle serious matters well.
BeCarefulMakingWishesInTheDark: This is not the time to say this but Mood
...
I put my phone away and wait for Todoroki to show up, sneaking back out to peak my head around the corner and keep an eye on the villain. He shows up not too long afterwards, along with Shinsou and his capture weapon, they both crouch next to me and Todoroki holds out the rope to me.
"Here you go, but what do you need this for?" He whispers.
"You'll see." I answer him back and melt into the rope, slithering out of Todoroki's hands and subtly across the floor, like a snake. I go off to the side so he won't see me, and once I'm close enough, I jump out at him, completely binding him with the rope. He starts to yell and shout but I slide the rope up and encircle it over his mouth to keep him quiet. Suddenly, I start to feel a burning sensation, and look down to see that he's activating his fire. Shinsou comes out suddenly and wraps his capture weapon around him. Oh yeah, that's right, Shinsou's capture scarf is intertwined with tungsten alloys, so it doesn't burn that easily. I slither our from beneath his scarf and leave the rope once I'm freed, looking down at the villain, who had a new, but fake, air of smugness to him.
"Great. It's the UA brats." He says while writhing in the capture weapon. We all stare down at him, completely stoic.
"Not responding, eh?" He smiles up at me and Shinsou, but his look falters when he looks at Todoroki. It falters into one of confusion, maybe a bit of heartbreak.
I look over and see someone walking towards the door through the window. Dressed in all black with long, dark hair. Mr. Aizawa. I run over to the front door and let him in.
"Shinsou got him in his capture weapon." Is all I say and lead him back to where we caught the familiar villain, he was now strung up on the wall from what looks like one of Todoroki's icicles stuck to it.
"Talk, goddammit!" Shinsou growls. The villains just looks cockily down at him, about to say something before he catches glance of Aizawa. His expression goes from cocky to sinister in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, I'll talk." He says and starts to talk louder so Mr. Aizawa could hear. What could this villain possibly want Aizawa to know?
"How about we talk about what you were doing up on that rooftop the other day, hm? After Ojirou died? What were you planning on doing up there, Shinsou? Up on the ledge and looking down? Didn't you just walk o-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH." He shouts through the croaky voice and tightens the bindings around the villain, nearly suffocating him. I look up and see Aizawa with a look of complete shock and sadness on his face, looking at Shinsou. I swear I saw his eyes get glassy. Both Todoroki and I were looking at Shinsou with worried glances. Did he really try to... jump off?
"What? Your dear old dad deserves to know, doesn't he? How you tried to kill yourse-"
"I SAID SHUT UP." He says with full tears running down his face and tightens the scarf once more, this time significantly around the villain's neck.
"Shinsou! Stop!" Aizawa shouts and the capture scarf almost completely loosens and falls. Shinsou stood rigid, not realizing that Aizawa heard everything.
"...I'll take it from here." Aizawa says and wraps his weapon around the villain, Shinsou's scarf falling to the ground, along with Shinsou himself. He broke down in silent sobs, Todoroki sat next to him and hugged him, trying his best to calm him down. I joined the hug pile and got to his other side, wrapping my arms around him and patting his back.
"-Speaking of Ojirou," This bastard-ass gremlin of a villain says as if nothing just happened. "Doesn't he as well as dear, sweet Bakugou have trauma now? They freak out whenever they see fire, right? That might've been me, sorry." He says sarcastically.
"You're lucky I don't turn you into the police right now." Aizawa threatens him. He rolls his eyes.
"There's nothing those weaklings at the police station can do to me that's worse tha-" he starts but his eyes go blank, like he was brainwashed. Todoroki and I look down at Shinsou, but he just shrugs. Then, the villains falls limp. Still breathing, but unmoving.
"...Uhm..??"
"...I don't know."
---
"Touya!!! Stop teasing me like that!!!"
"Hah... sorry, Sho. As your big brother, it's my job."
"But you don't tease Natsuo!"
"Well, that's because I've already teased him and he's gotten used to it, you, on the other hand, are my newest victim."
"Nooo! I hate being tickled!!"
"What are you gonna do about it?"
"Hmph... nothing now... but once I get my quirk, I'll beat you!"
"I bet you will, little buddy. I bet you will."
I wake up again, but no cold sweat, no tears. I look around the room and... what's happening? Where am I?
"Uh... who are you guys?" I look down at the 4 people below me. Wait, below me?!
"Why am I up here?! Why am I tied up?" I struggle in whatever kind of weird rope this is.. I look back down at the four people, and see one of them is... familiar. Wait, It's Shouto! But.. he's all grown up! Well, older, but still. When I left he was only eight years old!
"Woah, Shouto! You.. why are you so much older??"
"Sh-Shouto?"
"Yeah, dummy. that's your name, isn't it?"
"How did you know what my name was??"
"What do you mean? I'm your bother! I know it's been like... wait, how old are you?"
"..S-Sixteen? What do you mean you're my-"
"It's been eight years?! How are you? How have things been since I left? How are Natsuo and Fuyumi? And... Mom?" I look at his face and see tears spill from his wide eyes.
"Mr. Aizawa! Let him down!" He shouts to a man with long hair and I feel the rope unbind around me and I fall, landing on my feet. Shouto stands and runs up to me, taking a good long look at my face.
"T-Touya...?" He whimpers, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"...yeah. It's me, little bro." I smile down at him and he basically tackles me with a hug, crying silently into my shirt.
"Wh..W..here have you been.. all this time..?" He sobs, tightening his grip on my jacket. I pat his head.
"I've been... everywhere, basically. But now I'm... I'm..."
"With the league of villains..?"
"Am I..? Oh- I.. I am.." we continue to hug, the other two kids on the floor around his age were staring at us, utterly bamboozled. But the older guy, Aizawa I think it was, just stared at us with a look that said 'finally.'
"I see the serum has been expelled from your bloodstream."
"..Serum?"
"Yes, serum. There were injections of.. an odd substance in your bloodstream that completely blocked your memory... you didn't remember anything before joining the league."
"I didn't...?!" I asked, horrified. I didn't remember my family?? The years of trauma??!?
"Yes, you didn't. We have no idea why, though." He shrugs and I think back. I remember back at the league.. the doctor, Doctor Ujiko, he would always inject us with this weird clear liquid... he said it enhanced our quirks, and we believed him, because it did make us stronger... but only by a little bit. We didn't question anything else about it.
"That... that doesn't matter right now. What matters is I'm back and... a villain.." I stare down at the ground.
"But you're still here, Touya." Shouto looks up at me with serious eyes, wiping his face. I feel myself warm up with a bit of happiness, as long as I have Shouto back with me, as well as everyone else, I'll be.. somewhat okay.
"Yeah, I'm still here, Sho." I hug him a little tighter.
"And I'm never leaving again."
