Dabi's backstory is not cannon.

______________________________________

"How was your day?" I hear Magne ask as soon as I walk through the door .

"Chaotic." I reply feeling tired just thinking about it.

"How so?" Dabi asks from the other end of the room. I sigh taking a seat as kurogiri offers me a glass of water.

"I was at the beach like usual and left a little early so I decide to go see how my mum was doing. Then out of nowhere I was attacked by some disgusting sludge villain and nearly died."

"Was it the same one from the news not that long ago." Mr Compress asks clearly worried, I nod and he calms down a little. "You okay?"

"Yeah I was saved by All Might. He-"

"All might?" Shiggy pipes up interrupting me, only now noticing my presence.

"Yes All Might saved me, but could you not interrupt me, I'm not done speaking." I hear a groan which I'm 99% sure came from Shiggy. I ignore it and continue. "Anyway, like I was saying I was saved by All Might, then the quirkest bastard straight up told me a quirkless person can't become a hero-"

"Wait he really said that?" Toga says this time.

"What did I say about interrupting, you can ask questions at the end or we'll be here forever. Continuing what I was saying again, he told me a quirkless person couldn't become a hero, left me on a roof, let the villain that attacked me escape, although that might have been my fault. But whatever, then that same villain attacked Kacchan as I was making my way back here-"

"Woah seriously, is this coincidence or fate?" It was Mustard now in a sarcastic manner, obviously trying to get on my nerves.

I glare at him before continuing but he's totally enjoying this. "None of the hero's did anything just stood there watching him die, so I told him to aim for the eye and he managed to escape. That wasn't even the most surprising thing it's what happened after."

"what happened after?" Mustard again. I sigh, accepting my fate. You'd think he was just engaged into the story but he's just a little prick.

"After the attack he comes up to me and thanks me for helping him, then apologises for all the bullying. I didn't even know he was capable of saying thank you and sorry. Like before I wouldn't be surprised if it physically hurt him" I stop talking, replaying the unexpected conversation in my mind, still questioning if it was real.

"You done?" Dabi asks noticing my silence. I blush a little out of embarrassment.

"Yeah, i guess."

"So let me get this straight this Bakugo kid knows that it was you?" I nod not understanding what he means. "Then what the hell was the point of this whole disguise and faking your own death-"

"Forget about that, what about All Might." Shiggy cuts in, completely ignoring the glare Dabi sends his way.

Ignoring him once again and answering Dabi I say, "Everything is fine it doesn't matter. Apparently Kacchan has been hallucinating that I'm still alive after my 'death' so even if he did tell someone they wouldn't believe him."

"Seriously, is that even a thing." Toga asks with her finger to her chin in deep thought, atleast I think she is.

"No one cares about that, tell me about All Might!" Shigiraki slams his hands down on the table, disintegrating it into dust. Atleast it got everyone's attention, even if a table was sacrificed to do it.

"You know you should really get some kind of glove or something to cover your fingers so you can atleast have some level of control. Mabey if it's made with some of your hair it shouldn't disintegrate, might work." I suggest but I can tell it was clearly not appreciated.

"Allll Mighttt." He's literally snarling now.

"Okay relax. Like I said before I was attacked by a villian and he saved me." I say. He's so focused on me right now, taking in all my words like a drain, it's creepy.

"And then?"

"And then as soon as I regained conciseness he was going to leave so I latched onto his leg like an idiot and tried to stop him from leaving but he took off."

"I see your still as much as a fanboy even after becoming a villian." Dabi grins, earning another slight blush from me.

"Y-yeah. Anyway we landed on a roof then I asked him if a quirkless person could ever become a hero and he said that I shouldn't mix reality with dreams because a dream is all its ever going to be." A scowl has grown on my face now creating an uncomfortable tension in the room with it.

"Is that all?" Shigiraki asks, completely oblivious to the mood and a little disappointed, glad to know how much he cares about All Might over me.

"Yeah I guess... oh..wait no I remember now"

"What is it?" Shigiraki asks instantly perking back up.

"Before the harsh words he accidentally revealed to me his greatest weakness."

"Really! What is it!" Shiggy is basically bouncing in his seat now.

"He's really badly injured, he's even missing his stomach which has gotten him so weak that now he's got a time limit on his quirk"

______________________________________

A time limit.

It's as soon as he spoke those words that I realised how much of a blessing he is to this league. I expected him to come back, a little tired from cleaning up the beach but enthusiastic as always and ready for training. What I didn't expect was for him to get attacked, then saved by All Might, the very person we're targeting. As if that wasn't great enough his grestest weakness was revealed to him and he's growing a hatred for All Might which is only going to make him more motivated.

Stumbling across this middle school student, about to jump off the roof was probably the greatest thing that has ever happened to this league. Shigiraki most definitely agrees because for once you can see the overwhelming excitement and joy in his eyes. Although it's weird and kind of creepy.

Silence floats around the room as everyone tries to absorb this new information. Breaking the silence is none other than Shiggy as he jumps up towards Izuku, his happiness practically oozing out of him.

"Did I ever tell you that your my favourite person." He says.

"Didn't seem like it after you got stabbed yesterday." Izuku remarks, a bit startled at the sudden outburst but I can see the hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Forget about that, all has been forgiven. Right now we need to tell sensei about this." He says, stars practically sparkling in his eyes, he's like a little kid. It would be cute if it wasn't super creepy, happy Shigiraki is so out of place.

"I heard." Suddenly came a voice from behind me and I turn towards the TV in the corner of the room.

Like always it was blank and said audio only making me wonder what the person we're working for actually looks like.

"Well done Izuku, you did an excellent job, you are a very valuable member of this team and I'm glad to have you."

"T-thank you." Izuku barely managed to squeak out. This wasn't the first time he's talked to sensei but I understand that the man seems rather intimidating, even if we've never actually seen him.

"This information is going to be very helpful for you Tomura. I'm currently still working on a Nomu that can take on All Might, it should be ready in a few months. Thats more than enough time so tell me Tomura, what is your next line of action."

Shigiraki freezes for a second deep in thought. "If he's got a time limit we should attack once he's used it all up or about to run out, preferably in public or it won't make much of an impact." He lookes up at the screen like a child getting praised by their parents, "Is that right sensei?"

"Yes, thats a very good plan Tomura, and as Izuku gathers more information the path to success will become even clearer. You can do that right Izuku."

"Y-yes sir." He's still stuttering, and he was talking so clearly not that long ago.

"Good. I'm leaving it to you then. Other matters aside, there's a certain someone who's been getting in our way recently, Dabi I trust you to take care of it." He says now directing his words at me.

"Yes sensei."

"Good." The TV switches of and we're left staring at a blank screen. Silence fills the room for a second more before the atmosphere turns back to normal and everyone is chatting again.

"So Izu, you wanna add more chaos to this mess of a day." I ask flashing the greenete a grin.

"I'm not killing anyone." He says bluntly. I sigh, I guess not even his new found determination can get him to kill someone.

"Well we did say you didn't have to didn't we."

"Stay close by my side, okay." Dabi says as we near an alleyway closes to the bar that our target is currently in. I nod and Dabi leans against the wall as we wait for the target to appear.

It's silent for a while so desperate to ease the awkwardness I ask, "Dabi, what made you become a villian?"
He pauses for a second clearly not expecting that question. He says nothing deciding if he should tell me or not. Eventually though he sighs and gives in. "It seems like we've got some time so I'll tell you. I don't know why I'm going to tell you this, I've never told anyone before."

"You don't have to." I tell him, waving my arms around in a panicked motion.

He chuckles. "No I want to tell you, it would do me some good to get it of my chest and to be honest I trust you the most out of everyone in the league."

"Really, even though I just recently joined." I ask staring at him in awe.

"Yeah even though you recently joined." He takes a seat on the floor but still paying attention to the door of the bar, I do the same. "Where should I start, I guess I should actually tell you my real name first before anything. My real name is Touya Todoroki."

Todoroki? Why does that sound so familiar, then it clicks. "Todoroki, as in your related to Endeavour?"

He nods, "I'm his oldest son."

"Eldest son, but didn't his eldest son die."

"I'm sure your aware of how easily one can fake their death." I try not to blush as I realise how stupid that comment was. He laughs once again before continuing, "Ever heard of quirk marriages?"

"Q-quirk marriages? You mean what they used to do in the past, is that still even a thing now."

"When you have money anything is possible." He says.

"S-so you were the result of a quirk marriage." The words fall out of my mouth before I can stop them and I flinch at how blunt that was. "S-sorry didn't mean to say it like that."

"It's fine, you're correct by the way. As you know Endeavour is the no.2 hero and its been that way for quite some time. Eventually he realised that he wouldn't be able to beat All Might, so what did he do, he decided to make the perfect masterpiece that would surpass All Might instead. And thankfully I was not it. I had the worst possible combination from my parents, I inherited Endeavours flames but my mothers resistance to heat, and considering she has an ice quirk burns affect me more than normal people."

"So your quirk hurts you?" He nods. "What happened with Endeavour then."

"He mostly just ignored me, I wasn't worth his time. It was the same with my other siblings as well, Natsuo and Fuyumi. They didn't have quirks that suited him, but then there was Shoto. Once Shoto was born we were ignored completely and isolated from my younger sibling. It became unbearable eventually, I hated how cold our family was and how I was treated like I wasn't even important. I don't even think you could call us a family, it definitely didn't feel like we were, I hated staying in that house it was so suffocating. So I faked my death to take away any slight chance of someone looking for me. So just like you I am officially dead to the world." He smiled a little as he said that last scentence but his eyes are filled with pain.

"I'm sorry you were treated like that. Compared to you my reason for becoming a villian seems rather stupid."

He laughs, the sorrow in his eyes easing up a little. "That's not true, considering how you were treated all your life how could anyone blame you for being a villian. Although this mission right now will probably be the first villainous thing you do. All ways stay a cinnamon roll okay, I don't know how I would handle it if you became as crazy as some of the people in the league."

I laugh and look back over to the bar so Dabi couldn't see the faint hint of red slowly creeping up my face. "I promise."

At that moment our target exited the bar, instantly getting into action we proceeded to do, according to Dabi, 'the first villainous thing I'll do' since joining the league.

I might have not killed anyone but my hands are now most definitely stained red. There's no turning back now, not like I'd want to anyway.
