Dabi made his way back to meet with the rest of the League of Villains with Riptide in tow. He didn’t need to fight her to realize how powerful her quirk was. It was obvious in the control she displayed when she doused his flames in the bar. He decided to introduce her to Shigaraki and let him decide if she would be of use.

“So, you are taking me to your boss?” Riptide asked.

“Yeah, if you want to back out, now is the time,” he replied.

“No way handsome, this is too interesting and I’ve been bored lately,” she giggled.

Dabi looked over at the woman walking beside him. When he talked to her in the bar she came across as fairly sane but now there was something about her now that seemed just a little…off.

“I gotta warn ya, some of us are…”

“Odd?” she interrupted.

“You could say that,” he replied.

They continued walking down the dark street. Riptide followed close behind as Dabi turned down a side street where a lot of shabby old buildings stood looking as though they had been abandoned. He made his way to one of the smaller buildings and tapped lightly on the door.

“STAY OUT! Why don’t you come in?” a voice came through the door.

“Twice, it’s me,” Dabi said.

“How do we know it is you? Where you been buddy?” Twice said as he opened the door.

“Where is Shigaraki?” Dabi asked as he stepped inside.

“He is waiting for you in the kitchen. HE LEFT!” Twice answered. “Who is the chick?”

“Which one of you is asking?” Riptide asked with a serious face.

“Oooo, I like her,” Twice said as he led them to the kitchen.

Dabi noticed that Riptide’s demeanor had changed again. The far-away look in her eyes and smile was gone, replaced by one that was serious and on guard.

“DABI IS BACK!” Twice yelled as they stepped into the kitchen. “He brought someone with him.”

“Dabi, it took you a while… you found someone?” Shigaraki asked as he sat on a stool at the counter.

“This is Riptide,” Dabi said and nodded his head in her direction.

“And what is your real name?” Shigaraki asked. Riptide glanced his way a smirked before walking around the room. “What, not going to answer?” he asked.

“What’s the point? Do you really need to know it?” she replied as she continued to study the room.

“How rude! Do you know who you are talking to?” Compress asked.

Riptide turned to the villain and locked eyes with him, staring him down as everyone waited for her to say something. She blinked and turned to look at their leader. “Tomura Shigaraki, quirk, decay, leader of the League of Villains and successor to All-For-One,” she rattled off as she walked up to him.

The others looked at Dabi. “I didn’t tell her anything,” he shrugged.

Riptide stood between Shigaraki’s legs and smiled down at him. “There is a lot of buzz about you out on the street.”

“And what about you?” he asked.

“I just got back to town,” Riptide replied as she turned and walked away.

“Why did you come here and what do you want?” Kurogiri asked.

Riptide glanced at the warp villain before walking over to where Dabi was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. “I followed him,” she replied as she leaned into Dabi and cupped his cheek with one hand. “He piqued my interest.”

She began tracing his bottom lip with one finger and he grabbed her wrist. “What do you think you are doing?” He glared at her.

“Being forward,” she smiled sweetly.

“Stop it if you don’t want to be burned,” he warned.

“I would love to see your flames,” she purred back. Dabi pushed her away and Riptide walked off like nothing had happened.

“I don’t like her, can I stab her?” Toga asked as she pulled out one of her blades.

“Little girls shouldn’t play with knives,” Riptide glared.

In a flash Toga rushed Riptide, throwing two blades and pulling out a third as she aimed for her throat. Before the others could react Riptide grabbed Toga’s wrist, twisting and making her drop the knife before slamming her face down into the table with her knee in the villain’s back. Her other had was at Toga’s neck; water formed a fast spinning blade around Riptides fingers as she held them to her throat.

“Like I said, you shouldn’t play with knives, you might get hurt,” Riptide said as she nicked the villains neck.

“Enough!” Dabi stepped forward.

Riptide immediately let go and Toga stood up, holding a hand to her bleeding neck. Twice ran forward with a cloth for her. “What the hell was that? Are you crazy?” he yelled.

“Don’t kid yourself, all of us are crazy,” Riptide said with a cold tone. She looked at Shigaraki and smiled. “You need more powerhouses and long distance fighters. Lucky for you I fill both categories!”

“So you will fight for us?” Kurogiri asked.

“I have one question. What is it you all are fighting for?” Riptide asked.
