Hello everyone!

This fic is already posted on AO3 under the name "Into fire you can send us/ From the fire we return" and I don't know why just keeps deleting slashs and comas?

FF. Net does not have a system of tags so I warn you here this fic talks a little about child abuse (but that's expected)some Mental health issues and notably suicide. It also contains light manga spoilers (Toga's quirk in C2). The triggering parts will be signaled before (there are none for the first 3 chapters)

Title is from the song "Violent Heart" from Nine Inch nails. As for now, fic is written until chapter 5 and this first chapter is just a prologue. Will be updated twice a month.

I'm not a native English speaker and I don't have any Beta so feel free to point out any mistakes:)

The world of Shoto has narrowed to the little blue stone that was falling thanks to Aoyama.If I could just reach it, I could save Bakugo. Just a little more. He heard Shoji sighing of relief ; he managed to catch Tokoyami. Midoriya was behind because of his body failing him at the worst time. He was the only one able to save Bakugo.

But just at the moment where his hand caught the piece, a big hand covered in scars and burns ensnared him. He tried hard to escape this grip but the black-haired villain -don't look into his eyes don't- tried to force him to release Bakugo by twisting his hand. Shoto's other hand came to force the villain to leave him but a second burnt hand came to overpower him.

The other had more physical force and the UA student was losing. Midoriya was screaming in the background. He has to win for him for he was deeply indebted to him, for he was his friend, for losing "Kacchan" would be heartbreaking to him.
"Dabi this little armwrestling is nice but could you just cut it off? I don't have much time left. " the villain who makes the portals asked impatiently.
"Understood" The youngest Todoroki shivered ; like the eyes, the voice was too familiar. It's impossible it can't be him. He's dead.

Blue flames came directly out from Dabi's elbow. Shoto tried not to let Bakugo go but the heat was insufferable and he was not immune to someone else's Fire Quirk.
"TODOROKI!" Midoriya and Shoji screamed. The villain moved his head and blue flames burnt them.
" You don't gotta interfere in others' feuds." he muttered angrily. « And you couldn't you just let it go? »
Their eyes met and Shoto felt the urge to throw up. He could not pretend that the man before him did not have the eyes of his brother. But it was impossible. And even if it was him, he could not let his personal fears and feelings get in the way like at the Sport festival. He owes it to his teammate, Midoriya, Yaoyorozu and the others who gave all they got.
"Dabi now we really must go. "a villain reminded.

The aforementioned narrowed his eyes and moved his hand. " Don't blame me for what happens next" he whispered. But instead of trying to force Shoto to let Bakugo go like he did before, he caught him by him arm and by his hair and dragged him into the portal. The youngest struggled kicked and tried to bite but the other was stronger even if he didn't use his fire anymore. He knew he was on the hit list according to the other strange villain, so it would be better not to be dragged. He wanted to live! He wanted to be able to talk to his mother and to make her proud, to read with his sister, to eat with his brother- the one who was alive and mostly well. He wanted to bring flowers to the grave of his dead brother. He wanted to become a great hero in public and in private and to fight again along Iida and Midoriya!

He was now completely in the portal and somehow Dabi managed to separate him from the blonde and to catch him by the neck.
"Mr Compress please release them so that we could check. "
The other mumbled something about his show being ruined and snapped his fingers. Bakugo appeared at the right of Dabi and Tokoyami fell down on Shoji.
"Checkmate. " Dabi grinned while tightening his grip on the two students.
" TODOROKI! KACCHAN! "
"Stay back Deku. "The blonde mumbled, obviously scared.
"NO!"
"Don't follow us!" the red and white-haired screamed. Better two deaths than three.
The last thing he heard before all went black was an inhuman scream of despair and Dabi whispering in his ear "How noble from you Todoroki Shoto. But now it's time to sleep "
