First Job

The call came in just as I was heading to meet Natsuo for lunch. I immediately changed direction and started heading towards his frat house as we discussed, we have a bag of first aid supplies hiding there since no one was sure where everyone would be at any given moment. When I arrive his door is cracked open. "Last chance to change your mind Y/NC" he says as I enter. I shake my head picking up the bag and head out without waiting for him to follow. If he wants to back out that's fine, but I'm not leaving the man I love. I smile when I feel the bags weight lift from my shoulders. "It's pretty far away, if we hurry we can make the next train and be there in about 20 minutes." I nod that is the fastest way to go about it, we're likely to miss out on all the action, but we have a heads up on a meet up location so long as they aren't arrested. It's way better than coming in after everything is said and done. My heart is pounding and I feel like I might vomit, but I'm happy. I'm no longer being left out, no longer in the dark, I know where my god is right now, that he is ok, that I will see him soon.

When we arrive at the location Shigaraki sent us Toga and Twice are there. "Oh hey, it's Dabi's Baby and her friend, glad to have you aboard. We don't need you losers." I take a look over at them, they've got a few scrapes but seem ok. "Hi Twice, nice to see you again. You ever get a phone?" Toga looks a little annoyed to be ignored. "Why you wanna get together sometime without Dabi around? No I don't really like phones." I nod looking over at Toga "So did you get to see your crush today?" Her whole face lights up "I did, he's so cute. He got all covered in delicious blood. You should have seen it." She nearly swoons just thinking about it. It's too bad this Midoriya kid will likely never give the poor girl a chance, what with his obsession to become a hero and her being a known murderer who works with the LOV. "Not sure how much longer it'll be before grumpy pants Dabi gets here" Toga says as she wraps her arms around on of mine tying to drag me away from Natsuo "Let's get to know each other better." Natsuo lays a hand on her letting it get cold "Let her go, or find out how it feels to be in a block of ice." She looks at him delighted and I feel like maybe he shouldn't have revealed his quirk to her. "One of Izukus friends can use ice you know, his name is Todoroki." Natsuo lets go of her unperplexed. "Good for Todo whatever the fuck."

Just then Compress walks in throwing a marble in the air over and over before catching it, humming a pleasant tune to himself, he's followed closely by Shigaraki also pleased holding a box careful not to allow his pinkies to touch it, then Spinner. A good two or three feet behind is Dabi, holding his stomach and walking unsteady, I rush over thinking he's hurt and a little pissed the others don't care. "Hey baby, I'm ok, fucking lizard can't drive worth a shit, just car sick is all." I relax immediately, we weren't really needed today, but I don't care, next time when we are we'll be there. "Why aren't you covered up so no one can see you?" He won't be happy to know I still haven't found a costume. "I thought that was only if we were going to be in the public eye, I'll be better next time I promise." He gives me a wobbly nod, still feeling sick from what I can tell. "Come on, let's get you some water and lay you down for a bit." He bends over to kiss my head, a smile rising on my face. Natsuo watches us with joy in his eyes.

"We really need a code name for you tall ass white hair guy." Shigaraki stares at Natsuo with interest "Something better than pretty boy, that's what Twice has been calling you." I giggle, he's used to that one, but he rolled his eyes anyway. "Call him Zero" I call over, Dabi chuckling with his arm still covering his eyes. "Don't fucking call me that, you're not as funny as you think you are." Dabi and I are now both laughing to the point we can't breathe. "I don't know ice boy, kinda fits, my arm is still cold where you touched me." Everything goes quiet and Dabi sits up quickly staring at his brother. "You have a quirk and never said? You could be doing more than med stuff if you have a powerful ice quirk." Natsuo catches Dabis gaze before answering. "It's not powerful, I can reliably cool down beverages or other items within seconds, but that's pretty much it, wasn't even good enough for anything outside of general studies." Shigaraki sits back in his seat disappointed before looking at me. "What about you DND? You got a quirk you're keeping from us?" Dabi moves quickly to wrap me up into his arms. "Baby has a quirk, but it's specifics are none of your business. She'll be no help in a fight." Shigaraki stands walking over to Dabi and I. "What are you keeping from me leather face?" Dabi stares him down not answering, when Shigaraki looks to me I open my mouth only for Dabi to cover it quickly. "We can talk about this later, just the two of us, you'll understand why I'm not eager to share with the class." Shigaraki shakes his head, "not later, now. Let's step outside and talk about it."

I sit with Natsuo while the two go out to talk, I'm not sure what it is Dabi is going to tell him, but I wasn't included and I know better than to try to insert myself into anything. Everyone keeps looking at Natsuo and I, eyes wide, obviously wondering about my secret quirk. "So Zero, is it really not very powerful or are you just trying to stay out of things?" Mr. Compress' face is behind that mask as always so it's difficult to say if he's just curious or suspicious. "It's really not. My quirk is so useless even my own father never gave me the time of day." They all nod seeming to understand and no longer push the issue. "I want to know baby's quirk. No Dabi wouldn't like that." I smile at Twice, I realize both sides truly mean what they say, it must be difficult for him to live that way day in and day out. Shigaraki comes back inside alone, I look for Dabi and feel uneasy he hasn't come back inside as Shigaraki approaches me, leaning over to whisper in my ear. "I get it, Toga would bleed you like an animal if she knew. Welcome aboard DND. Happy to have you." I let out a sigh of relief when Dabi walks in carrying a pack of water bottles. "We forgot these in the van" He says sitting them down before joining Natsuo and I, my perfect comfort returning as he puts his arm around my waist and lays his head over mine.
