[sekoto]

[ Try telling scratchy boy to not do something. It's like telling Deku not to save people, just with added tantrums. ]

'It was fun while it lasted' and all that. Would have made one hell of a villain, though. Enough conviction to save this fucking mess heroes have left.

[blastedass]

[Damn. He'd actually get that similarity. Still snarl about comparing the two of them, purely out of pride and spite.]

Yeah, had a fucking blast with you losers.

And you would've been a great hero.

But we're gonna not only fix the mess we're in, but we'll do it by saving each of you. Even if that means kicking your ass.

[sekoto]

[ There's a bit of a pause as that ache is in his chest again, hollow and dark and full of shattered glass. A hero. ]

Maybe I would have. We'll never know.

There's no 'saving', Bakugou. Maybe you can get that through Shoto's stubborn skull.

[blastedass]

[It's a thought he's had the more he's matured. What could have been. What's truly been taken.]

Can't tell the future.

Different kinds of "saving", Crispy. And you know as well as I do there's no getting through that thick head of his. Half-n-Half Bastard's gonna chase after you till he can't.

[It's what family does.]

[sekoto]

[ Future. Fucking hell, like his future is anything but self-immolation before Tartarus or death row. ]

You really don't get reality if you think I have a future, Blasty.

It'd consider it a win if he stops treating me like I'm still 13.

[blastedass]

[He's probably right and Bakugou's not going to insult his intelligence by saying it. That said, it's not what he's implying.]

You've got a future. It's up to you how short or long it is.

Oh yeah? What's he doing, trying to ground your ass or giving you a curfew?

[sekoto]

Even if I gave up being a villain or not, I've been burning to death since I was a kid. It's not going to be very long, I'm running out of body that isn't burns. Rather spend what I have left making people pay and do something worthwhile.

Trying to give me Christmas and birthday presents. Talking to me like I'm not an adult. Like he's the big brother.

It's complicated.

[ Why is this shitty kid the one he opens up the most to? ]

[blastedass]

You've learned to regulate your flames; Bird Brain told me that. Pretty sure the Support Corps could help with gear to keep your body from burning.

But that's your choice.

The fuck? If you don't want them, he should piss off. Or just give you cash.

[He suspects Dabi secretly does like gifts (mostly just not the person giving them), but that's his opinion.]

You're an adult, but if he talks to you like you're an asshole, it's cause you are.

[Who knows? His attitude?]

[sekoto]

Fucker needs to shut up about what isn't his business.

Why do you keep telling me it's my choice? If I decided to stop what I was doing and turn to 'the good side' nothing would come of it. It's not a choice. No support people is going to help me, no wonderful rise to heroism will happen. I'd be locked in a cell for the rest of my life, nothing more. There is no saving me.

I don't want anything from him.

[ The only gift he's accepted here was the med kit from Hawks, and he hates that fucker, too. Besides, Shoto got him the most Hot Topic backpack and it's pissing him off every time the kid tries to shove it on him. ]

[blastedass]

Good luck in that shit.

Right, just like you didn't think you could walk into a medical center and "ask" for painkillers and a stapler. But you did. Got them too.

I'm not sugar-coating shit. You'll do time, dunno about death row, but in the situation we're in, you help us, we help you. You say no one would, but you know Deku's a fucking bleeding heart and Half-n-Half's himself.

Your actions are your choice. Whether to burn someone to death outta revenge or melt a hole in the wall to save someone's life.

All that shit aside, it'd be fucking awesome to fight beside you before "jail" comes up.

[Phhht, hot topic backpack. No wonder he's pissed. (You're very Hot Topic, Crispy.)]

[sekoto]

[ It's a terrible backpack.

There's something bittersweet about reading how Bakugou believes in his society. That heroes will do the right thing, that the system won't kill him. He's murdered more people than Moonfish, especially during the PLF fight. Maybe in not as sick and depraved ways as that guy, but he's also a terrorist and a hero-killer.

He'll get life if he's lucky, and then he'll spend it in a straightjacket, quirk-dampening cuffs on and automatic guns against his head 24-7. If he doesn't die from burn hypothermia due to losing his cold resistance, he'll lose his mind completely.

Burning yourself alive sounds a lot less painful. He made his choice when he joined the League and he doesn't regret that.

He doesn't say that, though. He'll let kid live with his dreams. ]

Explosions and fire, huh? That would be something.

[blastedass]

Explosions and fire, huh? That would be something.


[... Okay he would've blown that shit up. Or demanded the receipt for a return/refund. That's just fucking wrong. You're emo edgy, Crispy, not fucking punk death rock.

The only argument Bakugou has towards Dabi's idea on his death is that the heroes never put All for One to death, despite all the atrocities and murders he did. But he has no recourse to suggest anything fairy tale ending either. Perhaps they'll just release the villains and let them deal with people wanting revenge? He doesn't know.

Maybe a villain buddy program, where heroes and ex-villains team up and help deal with others who continue to stick on the destructive path. In exchange for shortening the sentence. Community service where the ex-villains actually get to use their Quirks and see how they can help rather than hurt, given the chance and help to be who they could've been instead of who they feel society pushed them into being, instead of remaining shut away in a dark cell, ignored and abandoned forever.

It's not the kind of idea Bakugou would've had when he first started U.A. Back then, he would've told Dabi off and said he deserved to get splattered all over the wall. But now he'd rather save the guy. One way or another.]

No shit it'd be something. I can work with turret types.

[sekoto]

[ Shoto seems to think that it comes off as accepting of his 'style', but that's really not helping their issues.

As for not executing All for One... that one's pretty easy. Do they even know how to kill him? Plus the man probably have information about a lot of things. The rest of the LoV are a lot easier to process that way.

Buddy programs, community service? It's cute ideas, but the government isn't going to spend money on letting villains walk around in the open, even with hero supervisors. Cheaper and safer to let them rot.

Still. Lots of growth there, kiddo. ]

I still wanna kill the fucking Malachite thing so we'll work together in some way eventually.

[blastedass]

[Half-n-Half should fucking ask instead of assuming. Especially since he knows jack shit about his brother's likes. Idiot.

He assumes it's more the latter than the former. With Quirk suppressants and other ways of at least knocking the fucker out, it shouldn't be that hard. He's still human. Mostly. Quirks don't act--shouldn't act--spontaneously on their own. But hell if Bakugou's done much research into that.

You know how much it costs one city to house one person on death row for a fucking year? A Lot. Especially when that person is likely doing nothing to contribute to society while rotting away in there. (Granted their removal from society could be considered a contribution, but then... blame game again.)

Nothing was every changed without someone trying something different. A villain like Dabi should recognize that comment/idea/intent very well.]

No shit. Fucker's gonna be tough to take down, it'll take more than one person to do it. We'll need waves.

[sekoto]

[ It wasn't long ago he wore dumpster clothes, let him be a late emo bloomer with his edgy coat and don't judge all of him from it, Shoto.

This is all a circular argument and it's really not going to change anything... unless they overthrow and/or change hero society. For that, they have to do more crime. That's trying something new, isn't it? Shaking up status quo.

Shigaraki going a bit bonkers wasn't really part of that plan, but new things always grow in ashes and here they are. ]

Better start with seeing what can actually hurt it.

[blastedass]

[Considering Bakugou's over here wearing grenades, explosions, and all black like a teen with a tude, he's not really one to talk. (Doesn't stop him from mocking people he feels are worth his mockery, cause he's an asshole.)

There are ways to go about shaking up the status quo that doesn't involve a "reset to 0" razing. Bakugou doesn't have any dreams they'll settle this with sitting down to a peaceful chat over food. No, this is going down with punches, kicks, and other anger-venting methods. This is war.

What he does hope, however, is what comes after, when they "win" and save your sorry jerkass-got-a-point asses, they can work together to create the new and better the villains have definitely pointed out.

But yeah, they're gonna have a throwdown no matter what. And he's ready for it.]

So far no one knows. It doesn't make appearances often and the one time I got close enough to slug it in the fucking face, it just turned me into a fucking 12 inch midget!!

[sekoto]

[ Hey, he's a hero. Gotta ham it up for the people and all that, showing off 'Dynamight'. Dabi just likes his edgy coat, and the shirt is loose and a material that doesn't catch on his staples. (It's all got a lot of flame retardant on it.)

It's war, yes... and they're fighting for the same thing in different ways. How many heroes are even aware of that, huh? Who's fighting for reformation and who is fighting to just splatter villains? No, it's better to raze it to the ground.

The next generation looks less shitty, anyway. ]

Oh, it turned into you?

[ Dabi you might be 4 centimeters taller but you're literally the Todoroki tiny. ]

[blastedass]

[It's called having a fucking theme and being instantly recognizable by shit people who wanna do shit things! Your theme is Stitches and Staples, Crispy, considering you got them all over your coat and pants like an broody video game character does with too many unnecessary belts.

A lot more than the villains would like to admit, but unfortunately beating on each other is not going to give them time to shout out ideals and try to understand each other in the middle of trying to kill each other (that's more from the V side, not the H side). Rest assured, most of the gloryhogs and villain splatterers are no longer in the picture, having retired (QUIT like a Coward) due to the public pressure.

Compliment him more. He might give you a look for it.]

It couldn't be that awesome.

[FUCK YOU, CHARCOAL BIT!!]

[sekoto]

[ Hey, he's working with what he's got. It would be weirder if he just ignored the way he looked and wore a fucking suit or something. Intimidation is a thing when you deal with riffraff.

It's not as much a compliment as it is something to think about. You A-1 shitheads are growing up in a vastly different world than your teachers. If there are no heroes any more, at least you have the brains to manage a new society. ]

We'll keep looking for a weakness, then.

[ Fuck you too, boom-boom boy. ]

[blastedass]

[All for One wears a suit. He's pretty fucking intimidating. Though it might be his giant cranium... Either way, looks like they both dress for intimidation, so that's something in common.

It's something he has thought about, something he knows will have to shape the way things are done afterwards. There's more to it than heroes kicking villains in the ass. It's people versus people. And even if they have the brains to handle the path to a new society, giving up on those who came before them would be fucking stupid. Learn from the past; don't abandon it or shut it away.]

It's what we can do. I try to look for the portals that bring new people here while I'm out getting those extras off the planet. No fucking luck.

[He'll get taller than you and put his chin on your head JUST to be a dick about it!]

[sekoto]

[ AFO looks like a damn Mr. Potato Head, if people didn't know who he was they'd be amused. If someone saw Dabi and didn't know who he was, he'd still be intimidating. Even if it's homeless emo intimidating.

Learn for the past, huh? It's not like Dabi's able to erase his own when he built his entire life around it. ]

Figures. Probably not gonna be Kurogiri-obvious. Still, if that shit goes down, I'll fight with everyone. Doesn't mean I'll switch sides.

[ Hope you like your chin fried, kid. ]

[blastedass]

[If Mr. Potato Head got fused with the production factory. Though without all that shit on his head, yeah. He looks like a god damn nutsack with a smile. Homeless emo intimidating is still intimidating. There's angry badass intimidating on this side, so go figure.

There's learning from the past and then there's become so completely consumed by it you can't function in the present without it, much less see any sort of prospect in the future. But that's tunnel vision for you. And Dabi's issue.]

Right now, we're all on the same side: kidnapped and captive. We can get back to kicking each other's asses when we get back home.

[Sorry, did the tiny little man do something?]

[sekoto]

[ Angry revenge-filled tunnel vision is a bitch. That's the trauma for you. Thanks for the sociopathic personality, dad.

Their world needs to invent therapy that isn't held by a dog. ]

Fair enough.

[ ...he's gonna find your house, break inside and burn down your stove. ]

[blastedass]

[You are what your parents and experiences make you, to a point. Then you have to start admitting to and taking agency for your own actions. Dad not included. Sorry, but that's the world, buddy. Blame game only goes so far.

Or at least better therapy than what they have. That aside, if they did, Bakugou doubts many of the villains would even take it. Who wants to be told they're "wrong" all the time?]

If you ever want to spar or train, kill some time, let me know.

[Lucky him there'd be a leather-coated staple-faced replacement at the scene of the crime.]

[sekoto]

[ He's not really able to do that. Not yet, maybe not ever. Definitely not back in their world.

Here?

...we'll see how long he can keep himself out of the deep end. Trying to get Shoto over on his side already showed how easy he snaps into something unhinged. ]

No thanks.

[ He's not gonna go so far to be friendly. Being civil with each other is already a stretch.

...and if you don't think he's cooked food on his body before, you're very wrong. ]
