Dabi trudged through the maze of alleys, Fuyumi close behind him. He'd helped her bring Mirko back inside and pretended he didn't see her write her number down and set it gently near the blacked-out woman. Now, he had to bring her to the League hideout because she wanted to meet his 'friends'. Dabi had tried to tell her he couldn't bring her there but she persisted. Now he was leading her through a maze, making the path more twisted and turned in the hopes that she wouldn't remember where the base was. He wouldn't count on it though since she'd always had an amazing memory.
"Why do you need to meet my friends, 'Yumi?"
"I already told you."
"I still don't get why."
"Well, I wanna know who you've been hanging out with for the past 10 years."
"It's only been one year." He muttered.
"What was that?"
"We're here!" He then led her to the building the League had refurbished the best they could. He hoped they wouldn't be around so he could sneak 'Yumi in but he knew he'd be disappointed. He opened the door and poked his head in to check. 5 pairs of eyes stared back at him. One immediately jumped at him, causing him to need to quickly duck back out and close the door. A loud thump could be heard from the other side.
"Is everything ok?"
"It's fine." He said. Fuyumi did not look convinced.
"Can't we just go inside? Is something dangerous inside?"
"Well, considering who my 'friends' are, I feel right in being worried. Especially since one just jumped at me with a knife."
"Oh, that makes sense." They stood there for a couple of minutes.
"Ok, we should probably go in." He opened the door again. This time, everyone was sitting quietly and nobody jumped at him. They were still staring until Shigaraki broke the silence.
"Where the fuck did you go, you oven-baked bitch?"
"None of your business. I did bring a guest but only because she invited herself. No touchy."
"Ooh did you get a girlfriend? Hahaha, you're gonna be single forever ."
"Ew, no, she's not my girlfriend."
"Then what is she Dabi?"
"Y'know what, I'm not gonna answer any more questions," he leaned back outside. Then he walked further inside with a woman in tow. She waved at them.
"Hello," She greeted. They all kinda stared at her. Then Toga opened her mouth.
"You're that pretty lady that was singing! Dabi, how'd you get her to come here!?"
"I already said she invited herself." He replied, crossing his arms. He spared a glance at Fuyumi who looked a bit embarrassed. "You good?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She addressed the League, "I did invite myself here. T-Dabi isn't lying. I wanted to meet his friends."
"But- why would you want to meet his friends?" Spinner inquired. Dabi looked away.
"Oh! I remember now! You said that song was something you and your brother wrote, right?" Toga exclaimed.
"Yeah." She didn't say anything else, just looking at the group expectantly. They all kinda sat there, pondering before Toga gasped.
"Dabi's the brother!"
"You brought your sister here!?" Shigaraki said, looking at Dabi.
"Twin. And she invited herself."
"You look nothing alike?!" Shigaraki was kind of right. The only obvious similarity between them was their glowing teal eyes. It was a bit weird to see two pairs of those unnatural eyes when it was already a bit odd with one. Dabi gestured to Fuyumi and motioned up the stairs. They both walked away and upstairs. There were some shouts from behind them but those were ignored. Dabi led Fuyumi into a small bathroom and rummaged around before pulling out hair dye remover. It was pretty good quality and his dye was pretty shit. He showed it to her and also showed her the extra box he kept. He silently made her agree to get him some more dye remover off of their sperm donor's credit card. Anyone watching the exchange probably wouldn't understand much but they understood each other completely. Easily slipping back into communicating non-verbally since Dabi used to deal with points where he couldn't get any words out. They made their way back downstairs with some of the remover put in a little bottle. The League immediately started questioning before Fuyumi shushed them.
"I would like to direct your attention to Dabi. You see, he is about to perform a magic trick." Dabi then tipped the bottle over his head. The dye ran down his face and he moved his hands underneath his face, framing it sort of. Fuyumi moved her hands to be like she was presenting something, fingers splayed. They fixed the League with matching dead expressions.
"Ok, yeah, I see the resemblance." Spinner said, staring slightly shocked like the rest of the League. They were all looking at Dabi's head of mostly white hair, with a few flecks of red like his twins. The red in his hair was way less pronounced though. Toga seemed to have been looking something up before they came down. She blinked out of her shock quickly and continued whatever she was doing.
"Why were you with Endeavor?" She asked, showing off her burner phone screen. It was open to an article about the hero gala. One of the pictures was of Fuyumi, sort of hidden behind his large body. She was sort of embarrassed that they'd caught a picture of her hiding behind her father.
"He asked me to be his plus one?"
"And you agreed?" Dabi asked. He looked annoyed.
"Well yeah."
"Why would Endeavor ask you to accompany him to a hero gala?" Compress asked.
"Ah. Probably because I'm the only one who tolerates him."
"What do you think he'd do if we pretended to kidnap you?"
"Probably try to get me back. He has sort of changed since Kamino but they won't forgive him. I'm still a bit on the fence myself though so I can't blame them."
"Damn. Bastard got what he wanted and now he's trying to change? That's rich."
"Truly."
"What are you two talking about?!" Shigaraki shrieked. He looked very annoyed.
"Ah, apologies. I forgot to introduce myself. Todoroki Fuyumi." She gave a bow. The League just kinda sat there, buffering. Then they looked between her and Dabi. The moment it clicked they both broke out in matching Cheshire grins. Shigaraki looked incredibly pissed and jumped at them. Fuyumi quickly swiped her foot, creating a small glacier, freezing him in place.
"Sorry Handymandy, can't exactly have you killing us because of a sperm donor. 'Yumi's gonna be staying for a few days probably." He turned around, heading for the stairs with Fuyumi in tow. "Oh right." He turned back around and melted most of the ice. Not enough to let Shigaraki free but enough so he wouldn't freeze to death. "So, 'Yumi' whaddya think about being a part-time villain?"
"Sounds delightful. I'll need a good disguise though. Maybe we could do matching ones!"
"Like what? Matching masks and suits? That'll be too revealing."
"Ah true. At least, if I'm spending more time here, I can help take care of your burns."
"You don't need to keep doing that."
"I did promise I would always be here to care for your wounds. Do you still like your bandages wrapped the same way?"
