[twice hates that he has to do this to his friend, but hawks' message was important. and twice trusted him. he trusted all his friends. and hawks has earned a spot in his heart. he was going to do as the hero asked without question.
and dabi did look pretty bad. hawks did too. he wished they'd both would get some help. but, hawks stayed back, and twice starts to carry his fellow villain down the hall.
momentarily, there's some heat, but it doesn't last long. dabi struggles though, attacking uselessly at his back. he pats the villain's thighs to try and comfort him.]
It'll be okay, Dabi! Let's get you healed up now! Just trust us. We're going to ruin you!
[he hums, turning from hall to hall, leading them closer to ujiko. a part of him is worried about hawks, but he has to do this. for dabi, as hawks had said in the message.]
I won't let anything bad happen to you. Just hang on. We're almost there.
[twice doesn’t detour from his objective, only holds tighter until dabi stops struggling. he’ll come to understand.
at least, twice hopes it all works out. hawks doesn’t have his wings and he’s heading on his own.
no. twice trusts him.
the villain does give a glance to the legs he holds onto, mind thinking back to the previous night.]
You set his building on fire, killing the people inside of it. They showed a video of you running with him, saying you kidnapped him. Then, you set fire to three more buildings south of there, killing more people. The ones who escaped said Hawks saved them, but only about ten people were saved.
[twice isn’t sure whether he believes it though. just didn’t seem dabi’s tactic. plus, hawks was on their side, so why kidnap him??]
[ dabi won't come to understand any of this shit, especially with the two of them planning against him... or leaving him out. whatever. he's in a bad place without any recollection of what happened.
maybe jin trusts hawks more than he does right now, because he's starting to get more and more suspicious. ]
I don't fuckin' remember any'a that shit. What the fuck did Hawks say to you?
[he's so angry that hawks left him right now, especially when they came here for a reason. it feels like everything is falling through his fingers.]
And what about the surveillance? What the fuck was that? We need to get the fuck outta here. Something's wrong, can't ya fuckin' tell? We're probably gonna be raided any minute now and Hawks is gonna be leading 'em through the goddamn door.
[was jin's room this far away? he doesn't remember it being this far away, but he's about ready to shove himself out of his arms and get out of here if he doesn't get some solid answers. the problem is, hawks is the only one who seems to have any... and he took off the other way, so dabi is feeling pretty damn bad about this right now.]
[twice considers telling dabi what the message said, just to calm his friend down. but, then again, hawks did say to not tell the other villain. it's a conflicting situation!
but he is worried for dabi's memories. twice doesn't know what happened either, naturally. only hawks would. but they're supposed to trust each other, right? yet, the more his friend reacts, the more twice listens, until he can't help but stop in the hall.
carefully, he sets dabi down, pressing his hands to the villain's shoulders.]
You don't trust Hawks? I thought you liked him.
[it was pretty obvious the two were...together. twice remembers a fight they both had and he was made to play matchmaker to get them talking again. not that he really did a good job at it, but the next day, they were acting normal, so he considers that a victory.
not to mention, dabi vouched for the hero before. if the villain didn't trust him, then, was hawks really untrustworthy?]
He's confronting Re-Destro about the surveillance that was put on him. If you need me to, I'll order him captured. If he's not one of us, he shouldn't be here, right? We're on your side, not the heroes.
[ when he finally gets set down, dabi shoves himself away from the other man. he doesn't like being manhandled. jin is lucky that he's alive right now after pulling that shit.
he goes to yank some of the bandages that are hanging now from all of this, and he feels like he might puke again. if he does, he's really gonna murder jin just so he won't be embarrassed yet again.
jin has him pausing though, glaring as much as he can while having trouble seeing the other man. ]
I don't fuckin' like him.
[this is stupid, and once again they're out here in the open where anyone can hear them. why can't they just get somewhere safe where they can talk? that's all dabi has been trying to do since last night.]
He's what? This ain't the fuckin' time to do that! I can't even fuckin' see right now!
[he has to admit. this is why he hates people. it's like one incompetent thing after another, and it's all falling right through his fingers. hawks was a mistake. all of this was a mistake. all he wanted to do was work things out with hawks and now.... this. whatever the fuck this is. he doesn't even know because hawks hasn't told him, and it seems like he won't ever do that.]
No. Don't... don't fuckin' have him captured. We just gotta get outta here. We gotta go now.
[dabi really was a strange one. or, maybe twice didn't exactly understand the relationship between dabi and hawks. the hero seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve, at least in regards to the villain.
but twice could be reading it wrong. very wrong. dabi did a lot of things on his own, so this could be tied with that, right? twice still trusted him though. more than anything.]
You don't?
[he doesn't try to pester him any more than that. he does look back over his shoulder, worried more than ever. what do they do from here? should he just trust what dabi says? that's a no brainer. he does trust dabi. he trusts all of the league. he's coming to trust the meta army. he thought he trusted hawks.
[ maybe it should be more alarming to Jin that he can barely see right now, but he supposes everything is confusing right now. the thing is, he's just as in the dark about this as Jin is, and that's pretty fucked up.
hawks left him, and now he doesn't know what to think. even less than he did before, and that was barely anything at all. ]
Ya really wanna talk about how much I fuckin' like or don't like Hawks right now?? Why are we talkin' about this here? Weren't ya takin' me back to your room?
[why he has to be the one leading everything right now is beyond him, but it seems like that's all he ever does anymore, even when he has no clue what's going on and can't even see what's happening around him. it's a damn joke, and dabi just wants to get out of here so he can think.]
I don't fuckin' know. I can't remember shit.
[maybe he should just leave by himself. he always meant to do this on his own anyway and now that everything seems to be falling apart, what else can he do? he hasn't felt this alone and this confused in a long time.]
Get the rest'a the League and get outta here. Or stay with Shigaraki. I don't fuckin' know. I just know that if we stay here like this? Shit's gonna go down and we're gonna lose. We can't trust anyone.
[not even hawks, apparently. it's twisting him up inside but he doesn't know what else to think. and now that everyone thinks he kidnapped hawks? things are going to be so much worse for him. all the pro-heroes will be after him with full force. he's gonna have to hide himself underground for a while.]
I'll go alone. I'll get back in touch with ya when I can figure out what's goin' on. Make sure Hawks gets help with his burns.
[he isn't worried about ujiko being a freak with hawks. he knows the shitty old doctor is only fascinated with him because of everything that's wrong with him, and all the shit he's had to do to his body to stay together. as much as he doesn't trust hawks right now, as angry as he is that hawks is keeping him in the dark, he wants him to get help, especially if he's the one who burned him.
unless he meant to burn him, but dabi can't remember why.]
[the plan is reckless at worst, insane at best, and twice is starting to think that something is messed up in that thick skull of his. especially coming from someone like him. he doesn't like the plan one bit, but he also gets it.
dabi must be worried about that threat on his head. but why would he be? he's killed plenty before, right? not to mention, twice would protect him. the others would protect him! they've come too far to lose someone like dabi. twice didn't want to part with anyone else.
they've already...lost so much.
he doesn't want to lose more.
so he shakes his head, fingers curling into fists. dabi still needed help with his burns. hawks did too, as the other villain reminds them. but he'll march over and grab hawks if that's what it takes. he just...he refuses to lose anyone else! he won't!]
No. You're not leaving. Get lost!
[stepping forward, he braces his hands on dabi's shoulders in a strong squeeze. if..if the villain fights him on it, he'll just carry him to ujiko. he can have one of the others hunt for hawks, because he promised to not leave dabi unattended.]
You're coming with me, to Ujiko. Please. Let me ask Mr. C. to grab Hawks, okay? Just, stay here with us. We can work it out.
[if heroes really were coming, they needed to wake up shigaraki. they needed a plan!! they can't do it without dabi! his burns and eyes needed to be looked at.]
We don't have time then. Let's go.
[he ushers dabi with a light shove, desperately hoping he won't need to carry him again. he doesn't want to fight with his friends.]
[he hisses angrily when jin grabs his shoulders. he wants to wrench himself out of the hold, but he's starting to feel like every turn will get him nowhere. is this what he gets for being with a hero? is he going to fuck them all over because he was too weak? ]
You're an asshole, ya fuckin' know that?!
[dabi tries to bring his flames forward, but he doesn't have the energy and what he does try is too painful. that, and he might end up burning this whole place down because he can't see. or hey, that might be a good idea anyway.
Jin gives him a shove towards the lab and he smacks at his hand, but he turns and heads that way, trying not to crash into the wall. ]
Fine, I'll fuckin' go, but I... I don't fuckin' trust any of 'em right now, though. Get Mr. C to grab Hawks. Tell him to be careful. Keep the hero in a different room until he wants to fuckin' tell me what's goin' on. After that I'll decide if I'm leavin' or not.
[if it gets dabi to get some help, twice would agree to anything. he doesn't find the words to be insulting, just glad to have dabi walking towards the doctor. he does try to steer the other villain away from the walls though, worried he may crash into them due to his poor eyesight.
with his free hand, twice follows the order, texting mister compress to capture hawks and lock him up, until the hero is ready to talk to dabi.
at least this would keep dabi from running off too quickly without a plan.]
Your plan is in place. It sucks!
[with a few more corners, they finally reach the doctor's office. twice knocks, and when given the proceed to enter, he opens the door, pressing gently to dabi's shoulders to lead him inside.]
[ for once, dabi agrees with all of Jin's personalities. it really fucking sucks, but he doesn't know what else to do. he feels stuck and that's the worst thing of all. if he has more information maybe he can figure this out, but now he's flying blind. pretty literally.
he hates that he needs Jin's help to even go down the hall, but the faster they do this the better. he doesn't mean for compress to lock hawks up, but maybe it's better that way for now, until he can figure out what's going on.
he wants hawks to get help from ujiko first, though. he still fucking cares about that stupid bird of his, no matter what. ]
Yeah, I fuckin; know, alright? Just gotta go with it for now until we can figure out what's goin' on. Tell Toga to stay close and not to trust those liberation fuckers.
[better to be safe than have all of this fall apart completely. he heads into ujiko's lab, already tense and wary. he hates this asshole, but he has to admit, the man gets things done when they need it. that's the only reason he's here.]
[twice tries shaking his head, to disagree that the plan wasn't too bad. well. it wasn't great but wasn't bad. they've had worst plans. hell, twice lead that overhaul guy to their base under the idea the man would join with them, and instead, wrecked them up and killed sister magne. not a day goes by that twice doesn't regret that.
this was far from bad ideas. twice trusted dabi.
first though, getting the villain healed up was the biggest priority. he was definitely leading and protecting the league while shigaraki was getting powered up.
once in the doctor's room, watching him fit around dabi, despite the villain's order, twice at least sends toga a message. given how she felt last night, she probably already didn't trust them. she was pretty smart. twice looked up to her so much!
just as the doctor comes to press to the front of dabi, lifting up his shirt in amusement, eager finger touching over the scars and new burns, twice comes closer, standing close to dabi. he eyes the doctor warily, like hawks asked of him. he never noticed how much interested the doctor was to his friend. how long has this been going on?
worriedly, he looks to dabi. is it too much? should he pull the doctor back?
the doctor makes an offhanded comment that he'll check out the hero next, but obviously needed to assist dabi first. he also says slyly that he needs dabi to fully undress for him to see the extent of his burns.]
[Dabi realizes now how stupid he's been to let himself get so distracted by anything else other than the goal he's had. He's supposed to be in charge while Shigaraki's out of it and instead he's been fucking around a whole lot with Hawks.
He has a job to do here and he's been shit at it. He wonders again if that was Hawks' plan all along.
Having Ujiko flit around him when he can't see so well is even more unnerving and he's thankful for once that Jin is here. He can feel those hands over the fresh burns and he winces inwardly, not want to show his discomfort. That's not his style.]
Just overdid it with my quirk, doc. Ain't no big deal. What I need ya to check are my eyes. And maybe my head.
[the last part he says reluctantly. He doesn't want the doctor all up in his head, but he doesn't really have a choice here.
Dabi moves back to sit at one of the lab tables, away from Ujiko's prying fingers. At least for now.]
[twice is a little bit unnerved watching the doctor, but dabi seems to handle him enough. he crawls his fingers up dabi’s chest to his jawline, taking the fire villain by the chin while inspecting him.
the eyes are looked at briefly, then dabi’s head is tilted, combing another hand through the soft hair. twice doesn’t like it, but he hasn’t touched inappropriately more than that. the doctor starts to order dabi to lay down, smirking wide, taking some enjoyment out of this.
it’s a practical chaotic mess watching the doctor go back and forth, grabbing what he needs, and starting the process of cleansing out dabi’s eyes. he makes offhand comments how pretty dabi’s eyes are, how maybe one day he can add them to his collection.
twice stands over his friend, eying every move of the doctor. he wrinkles his nose as the doctor even says how he wishes he could make a nomu from dabi.]
[ he's kinda glad it's not hawks in here watching ujiko do this. who knows how this would go. there's a reason dabi hasn't killed the freak doctor just yet. they need him far too much, even if he doesn't like this shit.
he hates how touchy-feely the old man is. he already hates doctors for everything they ignored when he was a child, and now this is a whole new added level of discomfort. the worst part is, the doctor really knows what he's doing.
dabi reluctantly lays down so he can get check out some more, but he glares hard at all the comments until his eyes are being checked. he tells ujiko to shut the hell up, but it's mostly muttered under his breath. he hopes the cleans will help, and it does a very little bit, but he has a feeling he damaged something because of the heat of his flames. hopefully it's not permanent and it'll just take some time to heal. ]
Fuck you, asshole. Ya ain't turnin' me into a nomu.
[dabi grits out, because just the very thought of that sends chills down his spine. he's seen those creatures in their oversized test tubes. he'd rather be dead.]
There's shit I can't remember, doc. Everything's all fuzzy from a day ago.
[the doctor comes to laugh at dabi’s reaction, but at least he’s not going too far with his ministrations. a small comment of dabi being a beautiful nomu come up, but then the doctor finishes his work with dabi’s eyes. “you need to rest them. stop staining them for now. you burnt them pretty badly. we’ll give it some time.” he says about the villain’s eyes before continuing.
the doctor perks up at dabi’s admittance and starts to comb through the hair like earlier.
“no damage on the outside. i’m interested to test if your quirk worked against your body’s defiance to heat and fried your brain. your body is working against your quirk. it’s rare to be in this position. you’re a beautiful specimen.”
the doctor hums, brushing some of dabi’s hair out of the way of the villain’s face. “maybe consider giving me a sample of your dna so i can research into you.”
and as he talks, the feather on dabi’s person moves hard and urgent, the tip sharp.]
[ rest his eyes. right. as if he has time for that in all this madness. he certainly isn't going to rest here though. he'd never close his eyes around this man.
he glares and tries to lean out of the doctor's touch, glaring at him some more. it's hard to rest his eyes with all this glaring. he tenses when the doctor goes into his quirk damaging his body. he knows that's what's happening, but he's reluctant to let the doctor delve deep into it. maybe he can help him, but at what cost? especially when ujiko calls him a specimen. ]
Don't fuckin' call me that.
[he feels the feather in his pocket move and he tenses up hard, shoving his hand into his pocket to feel around for it. it's hawks, and dabi quickly slides off the table, trying to slide out from between it and ujiko.]
Nah, I ain't given you my DNA. Gonna go check on Hawks, why don't ya come with me? I think he's hangin' with Compress next door.
[he looks to Jin for confirmation, his sight a little clearer than before after getting washed out, but not by much.]
[the doctor only chuckles at dabi’s reaction, but doesn’t seem to dare do it again. he is hungrily looking over the villain though while allowing him to slip away.
twice nods his head at dabi while coming close to offer his hand if the other need it. the doctor was packing up a to-go bag, offering a small tube to dabi. “for your burns. now, next door?”
twice is about to take lead, digging his phone out of his pocket to confirm that mister c. did in fact follow the order that dabi gave, but he comes to see several missed calls and several text messages. quickly, he reads them, until stopping at the doorway.]
Re-Destro has captured and locked Hawks up in the cells in the basement, according to Mister C. We’re not allowed to see him. Re-Destro is citing that since we can no longer vouch for Hawks, he is to be enslaved until further notice. Also said you’re not allowed to see him either, Dabi.
[the feather only pulls more frantically, shaking in dabi’s pocket.]
[ dabi takes the stuff from the doctor, looking it over before shoving it into his pockets. he'll trust that much, at least. ]
Yeah, next door.
[where they should have gone in the first place. hell, hawks should have come here with them right away. dabi would have felt more confident with what was going on if hawks had stayed with him, but maybe that wasn't the plan.
when jin stops them, reading the message, dabi's anger flares immediately.]
What?! I'm gonna kill 'em. I'm gonna fuckin' kill em all. They don't get to fuckin' tell us what to do. I'm in charge here and Hawks is mine.
[he pushes past jin, heading out the door, pulling the feather out of his pocket as he rubs his eyes, trying to see clearer once again.]
Try and stop me, fuckers. I'll burn this whole place down.
[twice frets over the message, unsure how dabi would react, and maybe he should have expected the anger. he’s upset to! hawks was still a friend, even if dabi was also apprehensive of the hero.
he follows after his friend, hearing the doctor coming along as well. hopefully hawks was okay. he can’t imagine that they would hurt the hero. not without their permission. hawks was their responsibility.
well, maybe dabi’s.
he does wonder why they specifically said to keep dabi away??
down the hall, he helps to lead, only gently tugging dabi where they needed to go. he’s spent endless times walking these halls, especially with yoga. she seemed to favor the cells at the bottom floor.
once they come to the last door, there’s two meta guards. there’s obvious scuffling going on within the room behind the door, whispered voices. the feather shifts in dabi’s hand, as if trying not to sharpen, but trembling, trying to tug the villain to the guarded room.]
[ hawks should have stayed with them. stupid bird, making his own plans when it's always gonna be dabi bailing him out in the end anyway. dabi is beyond angry, especially at the orders to keep him out. no one keeps him out of anything, especially not here.
dabi may not be able to see very well, but it's almost as if the feather guides him along. jin is there to lead him along as well and dabi's once again kinda grateful for it. maybe he'll even tell that to jin later, if they get out of this mess. ]
Get outta my way.
[Dabi says lowly, threateningly. He can hear the scuffling going on behind the door. he lifts his arms, palms up. these two meta fuckers should already know what he's capable of.]
Do ya really wanna find out how hot my flames are?
[the two guards at the front initially arch up, about to shoo them away, but then that threat from dabi gets them to tense up. they look at each other and apparently not having a death wish, they immediately bow their head and move out of the way.
twice steps forward quickly, worriedly, taking the door and pulling it open. there’s laughing in the air, two different voices, not hawks. but it wasn’t like hawks could talk before he left them either.
turning a corner, within the cell, hawks has his arms up, chained above him. there’s a collar around his neck, where a meta army soldier holds and tugs. his legs are spread, but hawks struggles and kicks, but there’s a hand in his hair and both soldiers have their cocks out, trying to push it desperately into his mouth. his lips remain shut, as does his eyes, head fighting to keep turning from the soldiers.
feeling the feather so close finally gets his eyes open, and golden eyes immediately set on dabi, looking fearful, desperately seeking the villain’s aid.]
[ it's a good thing the guards move, because dabi isn't sure how much fire power he can produce, and maybe Jin could help, but he's not quite sure about that either.
at least they know who he is and what he can do by now, and with a threatening look he follows jin into the cell and the laughter in the air turns his stomach something fierce. he doesn't like it.
when he sees the sight in front of him, he freezes, and it's as if every last bit of his heat rushes through him in such an intense wave, that nothing could hold him back. it's a wonder they even work right now, but they certainly do, ripping through him as he grabs one of the guards away from hawks, burning him where he stands.
the other is just about next, dabi grabbing him with burning hands, giving him a good shake. ]
[keigo never feels so relieved than seeing dabi and twice there. the doctor comes in after, but keigo pays him no mind, more focused with keeping his lips sealed. not that he can produce words or sounds, just small gasps and choked breaths.
more than anything, he wants to be freed of the collar. it irritates his neck, rubbing against the burns there.
it took everything from him to get dabi here, all the concentration and he's glad his lover is able to read the signs he gives. he knew he lost control a few times, sharpening the feathers without meaning to. he can only hope he didn't cut dabi in the process.
the sudden heat of blue fire is all he can focus on, the smell of burnt flesh next. keigo doesn't mind, but he can't stop the way his nose wrinkles from the strong smell. at least he can stop kicking and struggling, stop placing pressure on his neck, as he watches dabi grab the second meta guard. the man yells, one hand on dabi's hot wrist while he tries weakly to pull away.
keigo uses the opportunity to use his last feather to take the keys at the man's belt-loop, holding it out for dabi. with enough distance. he didn't want the last feather to be set on fire. keigo still wanted dabi to keep it.]

Get the rest'a the League and get outta here. Or stay with Shigaraki. I don't fuckin' know. I just know that if we stay here like this? Shit's gonna go down and we're gonna lose. We can't trust anyone.
[not even hawks, apparently. it's twisting him up inside but he doesn't know what else to think. and now that everyone thinks he kidnapped hawks? things are going to be so much worse for him. all the pro-heroes will be after him with full force. he's gonna have to hide himself underground for a while.]
I'll go alone. I'll get back in touch with ya when I can figure out what's goin' on. Make sure Hawks gets help with his burns.
[he isn't worried about ujiko being a freak with hawks. he knows the shitty old doctor is only fascinated with him because of everything that's wrong with him, and all the shit he's had to do to his body to stay together. as much as he doesn't trust hawks right now, as angry as he is that hawks is keeping him in the dark, he wants him to get help, especially if he's the one who burned him.
unless he meant to burn him, but dabi can't remember why.]
no subject
dabi must be worried about that threat on his head. but why would he be? he's killed plenty before, right? not to mention, twice would protect him. the others would protect him! they've come too far to lose someone like dabi. twice didn't want to part with anyone else.
they've already...lost so much.
he doesn't want to lose more.
so he shakes his head, fingers curling into fists. dabi still needed help with his burns. hawks did too, as the other villain reminds them. but he'll march over and grab hawks if that's what it takes. he just...he refuses to lose anyone else! he won't!]
No. You're not leaving. Get lost!
[stepping forward, he braces his hands on dabi's shoulders in a strong squeeze. if..if the villain fights him on it, he'll just carry him to ujiko. he can have one of the others hunt for hawks, because he promised to not leave dabi unattended.]
You're coming with me, to Ujiko. Please. Let me ask Mr. C. to grab Hawks, okay? Just, stay here with us. We can work it out.
[if heroes really were coming, they needed to wake up shigaraki. they needed a plan!! they can't do it without dabi! his burns and eyes needed to be looked at.]
We don't have time then. Let's go.
[he ushers dabi with a light shove, desperately hoping he won't need to carry him again. he doesn't want to fight with his friends.]
no subject
[he hisses angrily when jin grabs his shoulders. he wants to wrench himself out of the hold, but he's starting to feel like every turn will get him nowhere. is this what he gets for being with a hero? is he going to fuck them all over because he was too weak? ]
You're an asshole, ya fuckin' know that?!
[dabi tries to bring his flames forward, but he doesn't have the energy and what he does try is too painful. that, and he might end up burning this whole place down because he can't see. or hey, that might be a good idea anyway.
Jin gives him a shove towards the lab and he smacks at his hand, but he turns and heads that way, trying not to crash into the wall. ]
Fine, I'll fuckin' go, but I... I don't fuckin' trust any of 'em right now, though. Get Mr. C to grab Hawks. Tell him to be careful. Keep the hero in a different room until he wants to fuckin' tell me what's goin' on. After that I'll decide if I'm leavin' or not.
no subject
with his free hand, twice follows the order, texting mister compress to capture hawks and lock him up, until the hero is ready to talk to dabi.
at least this would keep dabi from running off too quickly without a plan.]
Your plan is in place. It sucks!
[with a few more corners, they finally reach the doctor's office. twice knocks, and when given the proceed to enter, he opens the door, pressing gently to dabi's shoulders to lead him inside.]
no subject
he hates that he needs Jin's help to even go down the hall, but the faster they do this the better. he doesn't mean for compress to lock hawks up, but maybe it's better that way for now, until he can figure out what's going on.
he wants hawks to get help from ujiko first, though. he still fucking cares about that stupid bird of his, no matter what. ]
Yeah, I fuckin; know, alright? Just gotta go with it for now until we can figure out what's goin' on. Tell Toga to stay close and not to trust those liberation fuckers.
[better to be safe than have all of this fall apart completely. he heads into ujiko's lab, already tense and wary. he hates this asshole, but he has to admit, the man gets things done when they need it. that's the only reason he's here.]
Hawk'll be next door. Go check him out first.
no subject
this was far from bad ideas. twice trusted dabi.
first though, getting the villain healed up was the biggest priority. he was definitely leading and protecting the league while shigaraki was getting powered up.
once in the doctor's room, watching him fit around dabi, despite the villain's order, twice at least sends toga a message. given how she felt last night, she probably already didn't trust them. she was pretty smart. twice looked up to her so much!
just as the doctor comes to press to the front of dabi, lifting up his shirt in amusement, eager finger touching over the scars and new burns, twice comes closer, standing close to dabi. he eyes the doctor warily, like hawks asked of him. he never noticed how much interested the doctor was to his friend. how long has this been going on?
worriedly, he looks to dabi. is it too much? should he pull the doctor back?
the doctor makes an offhanded comment that he'll check out the hero next, but obviously needed to assist dabi first. he also says slyly that he needs dabi to fully undress for him to see the extent of his burns.]
no subject
He has a job to do here and he's been shit at it. He wonders again if that was Hawks' plan all along.
Having Ujiko flit around him when he can't see so well is even more unnerving and he's thankful for once that Jin is here. He can feel those hands over the fresh burns and he winces inwardly, not want to show his discomfort. That's not his style.]
Just overdid it with my quirk, doc. Ain't no big deal. What I need ya to check are my eyes. And maybe my head.
[the last part he says reluctantly. He doesn't want the doctor all up in his head, but he doesn't really have a choice here.
Dabi moves back to sit at one of the lab tables, away from Ujiko's prying fingers. At least for now.]
no subject
the eyes are looked at briefly, then dabi’s head is tilted, combing another hand through the soft hair. twice doesn’t like it, but he hasn’t touched inappropriately more than that. the doctor starts to order dabi to lay down, smirking wide, taking some enjoyment out of this.
it’s a practical chaotic mess watching the doctor go back and forth, grabbing what he needs, and starting the process of cleansing out dabi’s eyes. he makes offhand comments how pretty dabi’s eyes are, how maybe one day he can add them to his collection.
twice stands over his friend, eying every move of the doctor. he wrinkles his nose as the doctor even says how he wishes he could make a nomu from dabi.]
no subject
he hates how touchy-feely the old man is. he already hates doctors for everything they ignored when he was a child, and now this is a whole new added level of discomfort. the worst part is, the doctor really knows what he's doing.
dabi reluctantly lays down so he can get check out some more, but he glares hard at all the comments until his eyes are being checked. he tells ujiko to shut the hell up, but it's mostly muttered under his breath. he hopes the cleans will help, and it does a very little bit, but he has a feeling he damaged something because of the heat of his flames. hopefully it's not permanent and it'll just take some time to heal. ]
Fuck you, asshole. Ya ain't turnin' me into a nomu.
[dabi grits out, because just the very thought of that sends chills down his spine. he's seen those creatures in their oversized test tubes. he'd rather be dead.]
There's shit I can't remember, doc. Everything's all fuzzy from a day ago.
no subject
the doctor perks up at dabi’s admittance and starts to comb through the hair like earlier.
“no damage on the outside. i’m interested to test if your quirk worked against your body’s defiance to heat and fried your brain. your body is working against your quirk. it’s rare to be in this position. you’re a beautiful specimen.”
the doctor hums, brushing some of dabi’s hair out of the way of the villain’s face. “maybe consider giving me a sample of your dna so i can research into you.”
and as he talks, the feather on dabi’s person moves hard and urgent, the tip sharp.]
no subject
he glares and tries to lean out of the doctor's touch, glaring at him some more. it's hard to rest his eyes with all this glaring. he tenses when the doctor goes into his quirk damaging his body. he knows that's what's happening, but he's reluctant to let the doctor delve deep into it. maybe he can help him, but at what cost? especially when ujiko calls him a specimen. ]
Don't fuckin' call me that.
[he feels the feather in his pocket move and he tenses up hard, shoving his hand into his pocket to feel around for it. it's hawks, and dabi quickly slides off the table, trying to slide out from between it and ujiko.]
Nah, I ain't given you my DNA. Gonna go check on Hawks, why don't ya come with me? I think he's hangin' with Compress next door.
[he looks to Jin for confirmation, his sight a little clearer than before after getting washed out, but not by much.]
no subject
twice nods his head at dabi while coming close to offer his hand if the other need it. the doctor was packing up a to-go bag, offering a small tube to dabi. “for your burns. now, next door?”
twice is about to take lead, digging his phone out of his pocket to confirm that mister c. did in fact follow the order that dabi gave, but he comes to see several missed calls and several text messages. quickly, he reads them, until stopping at the doorway.]
Re-Destro has captured and locked Hawks up in the cells in the basement, according to Mister C. We’re not allowed to see him. Re-Destro is citing that since we can no longer vouch for Hawks, he is to be enslaved until further notice. Also said you’re not allowed to see him either, Dabi.
[the feather only pulls more frantically, shaking in dabi’s pocket.]
no subject
Yeah, next door.
[where they should have gone in the first place. hell, hawks should have come here with them right away. dabi would have felt more confident with what was going on if hawks had stayed with him, but maybe that wasn't the plan.
when jin stops them, reading the message, dabi's anger flares immediately.]
What?! I'm gonna kill 'em. I'm gonna fuckin' kill em all. They don't get to fuckin' tell us what to do. I'm in charge here and Hawks is mine.
[he pushes past jin, heading out the door, pulling the feather out of his pocket as he rubs his eyes, trying to see clearer once again.]
Try and stop me, fuckers. I'll burn this whole place down.
no subject
he follows after his friend, hearing the doctor coming along as well. hopefully hawks was okay. he can’t imagine that they would hurt the hero. not without their permission. hawks was their responsibility.
well, maybe dabi’s.
he does wonder why they specifically said to keep dabi away??
down the hall, he helps to lead, only gently tugging dabi where they needed to go. he’s spent endless times walking these halls, especially with yoga. she seemed to favor the cells at the bottom floor.
once they come to the last door, there’s two meta guards. there’s obvious scuffling going on within the room behind the door, whispered voices. the feather shifts in dabi’s hand, as if trying not to sharpen, but trembling, trying to tug the villain to the guarded room.]
no subject
dabi may not be able to see very well, but it's almost as if the feather guides him along. jin is there to lead him along as well and dabi's once again kinda grateful for it. maybe he'll even tell that to jin later, if they get out of this mess. ]
Get outta my way.
[Dabi says lowly, threateningly. He can hear the scuffling going on behind the door. he lifts his arms, palms up. these two meta fuckers should already know what he's capable of.]
Do ya really wanna find out how hot my flames are?
no subject
twice steps forward quickly, worriedly, taking the door and pulling it open. there’s laughing in the air, two different voices, not hawks. but it wasn’t like hawks could talk before he left them either.
turning a corner, within the cell, hawks has his arms up, chained above him. there’s a collar around his neck, where a meta army soldier holds and tugs. his legs are spread, but hawks struggles and kicks, but there’s a hand in his hair and both soldiers have their cocks out, trying to push it desperately into his mouth. his lips remain shut, as does his eyes, head fighting to keep turning from the soldiers.
feeling the feather so close finally gets his eyes open, and golden eyes immediately set on dabi, looking fearful, desperately seeking the villain’s aid.]
no subject
at least they know who he is and what he can do by now, and with a threatening look he follows jin into the cell and the laughter in the air turns his stomach something fierce. he doesn't like it.
when he sees the sight in front of him, he freezes, and it's as if every last bit of his heat rushes through him in such an intense wave, that nothing could hold him back. it's a wonder they even work right now, but they certainly do, ripping through him as he grabs one of the guards away from hawks, burning him where he stands.
the other is just about next, dabi grabbing him with burning hands, giving him a good shake. ]
Where the fuck are the keys?
no subject
more than anything, he wants to be freed of the collar. it irritates his neck, rubbing against the burns there.
it took everything from him to get dabi here, all the concentration and he's glad his lover is able to read the signs he gives. he knew he lost control a few times, sharpening the feathers without meaning to. he can only hope he didn't cut dabi in the process.
the sudden heat of blue fire is all he can focus on, the smell of burnt flesh next. keigo doesn't mind, but he can't stop the way his nose wrinkles from the strong smell. at least he can stop kicking and struggling, stop placing pressure on his neck, as he watches dabi grab the second meta guard. the man yells, one hand on dabi's hot wrist while he tries weakly to pull away.
keigo uses the opportunity to use his last feather to take the keys at the man's belt-loop, holding it out for dabi. with enough distance. he didn't want the last feather to be set on fire. keigo still wanted dabi to keep it.]
