[ it's embarrassing to say the least, but that's the least of dabi's problems right now. his whole body aches when he pukes, but then it's like they have an audience as well. just twice, but still.
dabi looks up at him with a half hearted glare and normally he might flip him off as well, but he doesn't have the energy. that, and jin is basically just a blur in front of him. ]
My message?
[he should have checked his messages. maybe that would have cleared some things up. but keigo needed his phone to speak, and that was more important at the time.]
We gotta get to Ujiko. Tell him to prep for burns, and if he tries anythin' funny I'll burn him alive.
[he knows he can't but it still feels good to say. he doesn't really want to tell the rest of them that he doesn't remember what happened, but he knows he'll have to in order to fix whatever the hell is going on. keigo's burns are his first priority though.]
Come on. Let's take the back way to his lab. I don't wanna run into anymore shitheads.
[the glare doesn’t even phase the other villain it seems, who just continues to grin within his mask.]
Yep! Told us to evacuate. And when we tried calling you, it never connected. We got worried! The news said you kidnapped Hawks and killed a lot of people. You scoundrel! I’m jealous!!
[keigo tenses up, looking more confused than ever. kidnapped? he could understand the evacuating, if dabi’s reaction last night is anything to go from it.
the other villain comes over, inspecting the two of them briefly before keigo tries to pull dabi towards twice for help. he can walk. or try a little better. dabi needed it more though. the man was practically blind.
twice thankfully can read what he’s trying to say, and takes dabi, slinging an arm around the villain’s waist and tugging one of dabi’s over his shoulder.]
This way then. Skeptic and Re-Destro are also looking for Hawks. Not sure why. Hawks, you’re too famous!
[carefully, twice starts to lead them down a back hallway, pushing away some hiding bookcases in the way. keigo knows very well why he’s being searched by those two, and can’t help but slide a little closer to dabi and twice.
there’s so many questions, and he can’t ask anything yet. but twice is here, and he can help protect them from ujiko if the old man tried anything.]
[if he sent those messages they were for a reason. And yet these idiots are still here? Now he wonders if coming back here was a mistake and he looks at Hawks a bit warily. Does he not know what's going on either? He wouldn't have let them come back here if he knew something was very wrong? ...would he?
Dabi has a bad feeling about this, and he can't help but feel suspicious.
His suspicions are put on hold when he realizes what Twice says, though.]
Kidnapped Hawks? Fuck.
[Worst possible outcome. Now all the pro-heroes and everyone are going to be gunning for him. This is really bad and his head is swimming. He lets out a furstrated sound as Jin takes a hold of him. He wishes he could remember. Everything feels so fuzzy and confusing.]
Something's wrong. Feels like we're walkin' into a fuckin' trap.
[Dabi stops them from walking, looking at Keigo. ]
Do ya know what's goin' on? Why are they lookin' for ya? Why would they think I kidnapped you?
We can’t evacuate without Shigaraki’s approval. He’s still in that power supply, with Ujiko. And we need you. No we don’t!
[twice shakes his head, but holds tighter to dabi anyway. besides them, hawks looks deep in thought. twice is noting the burns though, and he has so many questions. why hasn’t hawks answered??]
You set Hawks entire building on fire, apparently. That must have been some firepower!
[immediately, hawks grabs twice by the arm and shakes his head, looking determined, yet still silent. so...did dabi not set the building on fire?? twice tilts his head, about to ask, but then the hero turns to look at dabi, grabbing him by the wrist.
he pulls, trying to stop them both. twice does so, trusting the hero enough. he begins to motion with his hand, none of which twice understands. then, the hero points at dabi’s pockets, urgently wanting whatever was in there.]
If I was textin' you idiots to do somethin' it was probably important enough to do it.
[his frustration is growing, and the heat is building inside his already battered body. he tries to calm himself down, because he needs some time. just like keigo's wings growing back, he needs time before he can use his quirk again. this isn't a good position for either of them to be in right now.]
I did what?
[he set hawks' building on fire... he could have if he was angry enough. he knows how he gets. but hawks shakes his head no, and dabi tries to believe him because he's sure hawks would have told him that if he had burned his damn building down.
he wonders if jin is catching on that he doesn't remember shit. he's too upset to hide it. he doesn't want them to be out in the open like this though, especially while being so suspicious.
dabi had already stopped them from walking when he asked hawks all those questions, so he's just staring hard at him, pulling his phone out to hand it over.]
You should have called or answered us. We all got worried. We definitely don’t care!
[twice frets from the buildup of worry. throughout the night, they expected a raid of heroes, even warned re-destro of it, but the man had done his best to calm them. it was about that time he requested to be notified if and when hawks arrived.
he had seemed pleasant to twice, but toga had insisted something was up and to wait until dabi got back.
although, now, twice is lost more than ever. didn’t dabi remember setting the entire building on fire?? what about the other crimes he committed the night prior?? twice is getting more curious and worried by the second.
something is definitely wrong with dabi’s memory. hawks isn’t speaking much, but the villain is quietly noticing the extent of the burns on the hero. something happened. something serious.
hawks takes dabi’s phone though, and the hero types fast before turning the screen to face them. there’s no audio, and after reading the message, twice can understand why.]
Dabi’s room is probably being bugged with a mic and camera. Skeptic told me that Dabi ordered a camera and mic to be placed on me. I agreed to a tracking device instead. I told Dabi about it last night, and destroyed it.
Don't ya think I fuckin' would would have if I could've?
[he growls lowly, rubbing at his eyes again to the point where he nearly tears the staples out of his unscarred skin.
something bad happened. really fucking bad. dabi knows he set some fires but hawks is saying he didn't set fire to his building. so then who did, endeavor? someone else? are the heroes coming for them?
dabi is so torn as he looks at hawks. is he in on it, or is he getting just as fucked over by the heroes because he's with the league now? dabi hopes it's the latter, but with all this confusion it's hard to tell.
he almost goes to head towards his room, but he can tell hawks is trying to show them something. he squints but he can't see, and he grabs at the phone again, putting it closer to his face to try again. he's about this close to burning this whole place down, too.]
Why didn't ya fuckin' tell me this before we got here?? You know that I can't...
[dabi hisses lowly, cutting himself off at the end. he couldn't remember. why didn't hawks fill him in on the details he did know? he wouldn't have come back here if something was off. but now he's torn. they need ujiko's help, but clearly hawks isn't telling him shit.
he tosses the phone back to hawks and narrows his eyes at him.]
Didja bring us back here to walk right into a trap, Hawks? If we go to Ujiko, is he gonna fuck us up worse, or what? If ya had some fuckin' important shit to tell me that we couldn't talk about while we are here, then why didn't ya tell me before?
[just like before... only dabi doesn't remember that. except it really is like what keigo was doing before all over again, and dabi can feel that frustration in his bones, even if he's confused as hell.]
[twice is silent as he thinks over the message. there’s so many questions he has, and hawks struggling to talk was going to impact that. still, how can they discuss everything going on if they’re being watched?
and why watch them? weren’t they on the same side??
they really could do with shigaraki’s guidance.
hawks looks offended as he catches the phone, but to twice, the glare is harmless. more like how angry toga can come off as. the hero shakes his head in denial to dabi’s words before typing again.]
No trap. You need help. You’re hurt! Twice, take Dabi to get healed up. Don’t leave him at all. Even if Ujiko insists.
[the villain reads over the message, and trusting the hero, nods his head. he honestly trusted ujiko, but if dabi and hawks are wary of him, then twice would be the best body guard for his friends.
he salutes in acknowledgement, gripping a little tighter to dabi, fully intending on dragging the other villain along.]
You should see him too. Even your hair is burned. What a completely intriguing way of shortening it!
[hawks looks worried for a brief second before writing another message, one shown only to twice. he reads it and nods, taking back dabi’s phone and pocketing it.]
Are you sure? Is that safe?
[hawks nods his head, offering a small smile and steps back.
following an order on the message, twice turns and lifts up dabi’s body, tossing the villain over his shoulder. he quickly sends a thumbs up to hawks before starting to walk away, heading to ujiko.]
Please bare with this a little longer, Dabi. We’re going to get you patched up. Doctor Twice will take care of everything.
[ Dabi can't read the message yet again and he's starting to reach his limit. they shouldn't have come here, but they had to. Hawks needs help and he needs his memory back fast... if that's even going to happen. as for his sight... he's trying not to think about that too hard, because he knows what his flames are doing to him.
maybe his eyesight is just the next thing to go. he just didn't expect for it to happen so soon.
most of all he just wants to know what happened and what hawks isn't telling him. it doesn't feel like they have much time, and maybe they came back to the wrong place... but maybe that was hawks' intention from the start. he doesn't want to believe that though. not after everything. ]
We came back so you could get help too, Hawks. That's the main fuckin' reason.
[he says as he tries to push away from Jin to get back to Hawks. they really need to talk. and while he can't quite see everything that's going on, he sees hawks showing his phone to jin, and then his phone disappearing into the other villain's pocket, and he tenses up hard, looking between the two of them.]
I can't fuckin' read that shit! What are ya saying!
[and then he's been hauled up and over jin's shoulder, and he very nearly hisses like a feral cat, his body heating up. that's as far as it goes though. he can't produce his flames so he just punches at Jin's back]
Hey! What the fuck?! Ke...Hawks! Where the fuck are ya going?! Hawks! Jin, what the fuck?!
[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.

My message?
[he should have checked his messages. maybe that would have cleared some things up. but keigo needed his phone to speak, and that was more important at the time.]
We gotta get to Ujiko. Tell him to prep for burns, and if he tries anythin' funny I'll burn him alive.
[he knows he can't but it still feels good to say. he doesn't really want to tell the rest of them that he doesn't remember what happened, but he knows he'll have to in order to fix whatever the hell is going on. keigo's burns are his first priority though.]
Come on. Let's take the back way to his lab. I don't wanna run into anymore shitheads.

Date: 2021-05-05 02:29 pm (UTC)Yep! Told us to evacuate. And when we tried calling you, it never connected. We got worried! The news said you kidnapped Hawks and killed a lot of people. You scoundrel! I’m jealous!!
[keigo tenses up, looking more confused than ever. kidnapped? he could understand the evacuating, if dabi’s reaction last night is anything to go from it.
the other villain comes over, inspecting the two of them briefly before keigo tries to pull dabi towards twice for help. he can walk. or try a little better. dabi needed it more though. the man was practically blind.
twice thankfully can read what he’s trying to say, and takes dabi, slinging an arm around the villain’s waist and tugging one of dabi’s over his shoulder.]
This way then. Skeptic and Re-Destro are also looking for Hawks. Not sure why. Hawks, you’re too famous!
[carefully, twice starts to lead them down a back hallway, pushing away some hiding bookcases in the way. keigo knows very well why he’s being searched by those two, and can’t help but slide a little closer to dabi and twice.
there’s so many questions, and he can’t ask anything yet. but twice is here, and he can help protect them from ujiko if the old man tried anything.]

Now he wonders if coming back here was a mistake and he looks at Hawks a bit warily. Does he not know what's going on either? He wouldn't have let them come back here if he knew something was very wrong? ...would he?
Dabi has a bad feeling about this, and he can't help but feel suspicious.
His suspicions are put on hold when he realizes what Twice says, though.]
Kidnapped Hawks? Fuck.
[Worst possible outcome. Now all the pro-heroes and everyone are going to be gunning for him. This is really bad and his head is swimming. He lets out a furstrated sound as Jin takes a hold of him. He wishes he could remember. Everything feels so fuzzy and confusing.]
Something's wrong. Feels like we're walkin' into a fuckin' trap.
[Dabi stops them from walking, looking at Keigo. ]
Do ya know what's goin' on? Why are they lookin' for ya? Why would they think I kidnapped you?

Date: 2021-05-05 04:46 pm (UTC)[twice shakes his head, but holds tighter to dabi anyway. besides them, hawks looks deep in thought. twice is noting the burns though, and he has so many questions. why hasn’t hawks answered??]
You set Hawks entire building on fire, apparently. That must have been some firepower!
[immediately, hawks grabs twice by the arm and shakes his head, looking determined, yet still silent. so...did dabi not set the building on fire?? twice tilts his head, about to ask, but then the hero turns to look at dabi, grabbing him by the wrist.
he pulls, trying to stop them both. twice does so, trusting the hero enough. he begins to motion with his hand, none of which twice understands. then, the hero points at dabi’s pockets, urgently wanting whatever was in there.]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-05 09:28 pm (UTC)[his frustration is growing, and the heat is building inside his already battered body. he tries to calm himself down, because he needs some time. just like keigo's wings growing back, he needs time before he can use his quirk again. this isn't a good position for either of them to be in right now.]
I did what?
[he set hawks' building on fire... he could have if he was angry enough. he knows how he gets. but hawks shakes his head no, and dabi tries to believe him because he's sure hawks would have told him that if he had burned his damn building down.
he wonders if jin is catching on that he doesn't remember shit. he's too upset to hide it. he doesn't want them to be out in the open like this though, especially while being so suspicious.
dabi had already stopped them from walking when he asked hawks all those questions, so he's just staring hard at him, pulling his phone out to hand it over.]
Not here. Let's go to my room.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-05 10:21 pm (UTC)[twice frets from the buildup of worry. throughout the night, they expected a raid of heroes, even warned re-destro of it, but the man had done his best to calm them. it was about that time he requested to be notified if and when hawks arrived.
he had seemed pleasant to twice, but toga had insisted something was up and to wait until dabi got back.
although, now, twice is lost more than ever. didn’t dabi remember setting the entire building on fire?? what about the other crimes he committed the night prior?? twice is getting more curious and worried by the second.
something is definitely wrong with dabi’s memory. hawks isn’t speaking much, but the villain is quietly noticing the extent of the burns on the hero. something happened. something serious.
hawks takes dabi’s phone though, and the hero types fast before turning the screen to face them. there’s no audio, and after reading the message, twice can understand why.]
Dabi’s room is probably being bugged with a mic and camera. Skeptic told me that Dabi ordered a camera and mic to be placed on me. I agreed to a tracking device instead. I told Dabi about it last night, and destroyed it.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-05 10:45 pm (UTC)[he growls lowly, rubbing at his eyes again to the point where he nearly tears the staples out of his unscarred skin.
something bad happened. really fucking bad. dabi knows he set some fires but hawks is saying he didn't set fire to his building. so then who did, endeavor? someone else? are the heroes coming for them?
dabi is so torn as he looks at hawks. is he in on it, or is he getting just as fucked over by the heroes because he's with the league now? dabi hopes it's the latter, but with all this confusion it's hard to tell.
he almost goes to head towards his room, but he can tell hawks is trying to show them something. he squints but he can't see, and he grabs at the phone again, putting it closer to his face to try again. he's about this close to burning this whole place down, too.]
Why didn't ya fuckin' tell me this before we got here?? You know that I can't...
[dabi hisses lowly, cutting himself off at the end. he couldn't remember. why didn't hawks fill him in on the details he did know? he wouldn't have come back here if something was off. but now he's torn. they need ujiko's help, but clearly hawks isn't telling him shit.
he tosses the phone back to hawks and narrows his eyes at him.]
Didja bring us back here to walk right into a trap, Hawks? If we go to Ujiko, is he gonna fuck us up worse, or what? If ya had some fuckin' important shit to tell me that we couldn't talk about while we are here, then why didn't ya tell me before?
[just like before... only dabi doesn't remember that. except it really is like what keigo was doing before all over again, and dabi can feel that frustration in his bones, even if he's confused as hell.]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-05 11:23 pm (UTC)and why watch them? weren’t they on the same side??
they really could do with shigaraki’s guidance.
hawks looks offended as he catches the phone, but to twice, the glare is harmless. more like how angry toga can come off as. the hero shakes his head in denial to dabi’s words before typing again.]
No trap. You need help. You’re hurt! Twice, take Dabi to get healed up. Don’t leave him at all. Even if Ujiko insists.
[the villain reads over the message, and trusting the hero, nods his head. he honestly trusted ujiko, but if dabi and hawks are wary of him, then twice would be the best body guard for his friends.
he salutes in acknowledgement, gripping a little tighter to dabi, fully intending on dragging the other villain along.]
You should see him too. Even your hair is burned. What a completely intriguing way of shortening it!
[hawks looks worried for a brief second before writing another message, one shown only to twice. he reads it and nods, taking back dabi’s phone and pocketing it.]
Are you sure? Is that safe?
[hawks nods his head, offering a small smile and steps back.
following an order on the message, twice turns and lifts up dabi’s body, tossing the villain over his shoulder. he quickly sends a thumbs up to hawks before starting to walk away, heading to ujiko.]
Please bare with this a little longer, Dabi. We’re going to get you patched up. Doctor Twice will take care of everything.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-05 11:36 pm (UTC)maybe his eyesight is just the next thing to go. he just didn't expect for it to happen so soon.
most of all he just wants to know what happened and what hawks isn't telling him. it doesn't feel like they have much time, and maybe they came back to the wrong place... but maybe that was hawks' intention from the start. he doesn't want to believe that though. not after everything. ]
We came back so you could get help too, Hawks. That's the main fuckin' reason.
[he says as he tries to push away from Jin to get back to Hawks. they really need to talk. and while he can't quite see everything that's going on, he sees hawks showing his phone to jin, and then his phone disappearing into the other villain's pocket, and he tenses up hard, looking between the two of them.]
I can't fuckin' read that shit! What are ya saying!
[and then he's been hauled up and over jin's shoulder, and he very nearly hisses like a feral cat, his body heating up. that's as far as it goes though. he can't produce his flames so he just punches at Jin's back]
Hey! What the fuck?! Ke...Hawks! Where the fuck are ya going?! Hawks! Jin, what the fuck?!
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 12:13 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 12:23 am (UTC)[he yells, but then he's too tired to continue and he just beats at Jin's back weakly, growling at him.]
Put me the fuck down or I'll burn ya to ash ya fuckin' freak. What did he tell you? What the fuck is goin' on?
[he's sick of this shit. he's sick of all the secrecy and lies on top of how he already can't remember anything.]
What did the fuckin' news say, at least tell me that, ya piece'a shit!
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 12:43 am (UTC)[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??]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 12:51 am (UTC)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.]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 01:21 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 01:47 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 02:14 am (UTC)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.
now he's unsure.]
Tell me what you want me to do.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 02:35 am (UTC)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.]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-06 02:48 am (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 03:10 am (UTC)[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
Date: 2021-05-06 02:12 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 05:30 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 05:50 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 09:18 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 09:50 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2021-05-06 10:03 pm (UTC)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.
