Chapter 1
Golden cat-like eyes followed Dabi from the shadows as the flame user explained to Spinner what he had done wrong.
"You're still using too many weapons at once," Dabi sighed gesturing to mound of sharp blades that were impossibly fused together on a single sword handle. "Maybe you should consider breaking it up and using a single sword instead."
Spinners face flushed a deeper shade of green. "Stain used multiple blades at once and he got the job done."
"You're not Stain!" Dabi yelled fed up with the Spinners attitude towards her attempts to help him only to regret it a moment later at the hurt that flashed through the lizard's eyes.
Sliding out of her hiding spot Himiko skipped silently over to Dabi grabbing the older woman by the arm and hugging her before things had a chance to escalate any further.
"Da~bi," she giggled sweetly noticing her prey freeze up slightly before relaxing when Dabi realized who it was exactly who was hugging her. "Tomura wants to see you."
Dabi sighed and with a quick head pat and a 'thanks brat' she left the two to go see find out whatever it was that Shigaraki wanted this time. As soon as the cremation user was out of sight Spinner turned to Himiko surprised to see that there was a soft smile on her face. Knowing that the transformation user had been watching Dabi just as closely as he had Spinner felt she was the perfect person to bring up his concerns to.
"Am I crazy or is something wrong with her?" Spinner asked wrapping his sword up making plans to hide it somewhere so Dabi couldn't break it apart.
"Silly Spinner," Himiko giggled. "We're all crazy here."
"Maybe but Dabi is going the extra mile lately," the pink haired swordsman said pointing one finger accusingly at Himiko. "And I don't tell me I'm imagining things cause you've been stalking her too much not to see it also."
"Rude." Himiko pouted sticking her tongue out slightly.
"Look she's training me to fight better," Spinner said pointing towards the pile of mud Twice had made of the cremation user so that the real Dabi could observe the fight from a safe distance. "Helping the Boss make plans, meditating with Twice and she even had Giran teach her how to take care of Compress's arm before he took off. It's. Not. Normal."
"Well she hasn't been helping me with anything," Himiko fibbed knowing that Dabi was, in fact, doing the same thing for her that she was with Spinner.
Truthfully the only difference in their training was Himiko was being taught how to kill more quickly and quietly so that any infiltration missions she was sent on could go more smoothly. Truthfully Himiko preferred more up close and brutal tactics when it came to fighting but she was starting to see the benefits when Dabi compared her to a ninja. Ninjas were awesome and much cooler than when she had to fake being yakuza member for that bastard Overhaul.
Spinner gave her a knowing look. "Listen at first I thought that after the Meta Army thing and how sick she was afterwards Dabi was just being cautious but now I'm starting to worry that something is seriously wrong."
That got Himiko's attention and her yellow eyes zeroed in on Spinner like a laser beam. "Wrong how?"
"I don't want to be the one to say it, but what if Dabi is … you know dying."
Himiko felt the blood in her body suddenly turning ice cold.
"That's not … she wouldn't …"
"I know you heard Ujiko trying to get information from Giran about her same as me," Spinner said looking uncomfortable now. "Dabi's quirk is dangerous, one wrong move and -"
Spinner didn't even get a chance to finish before he found himself pinned to the floor by the blonde one of her knives dangerously at his throat.
"Dabi. Is. Fine." The blonde hissed pressing the blade a little harder and drawing blood.
The two stayed like that staring hard at each other neither willing to back down until they heard a cough. Turning towards the door they saw Twice standing there with only a bandana covering his lower face.
"Mr. Compress is back! Gross, he brought vegetables." Twice announced before coughing and taking a deep breath to collect himself like Dabi had shown him to these last few weeks. "Giran is with him and trying to break up a fight between the Boss and Dabi."
The pair instantly separated and got up Himiko taking the time to kick Spinner in the shin hard before skipping out of the training room intent on finding Dabi and getting answers out of her just so she could prove Spinner wrong once and for all.
"And I keep telling you not to get a big head," Dabi hissed from the other side of Giran as the broker tried to keep the pair separated. "Just because you beat Re-Destro and barely I might add doesn't mean you can break into Tartarus."
Shigaraki glared at the woman who had become second in command in all but name since Kurogiri got captured. "Don't question me, I'm the leader here Ugly not you."
"Yeah the stupid leader who's going to get him and his party all killed on a suicide mission." Dabi sneered back.
"Ok children that's enough," Giran said stepping in now and looking at Shigaraki seriously. "Listen, kid, I would love nothing more than to help you but Dabi's right. Beating a prick like Yotsubashi by the skin of your teeth doesn't mean you can break into the most secure prison in Japan."
"But we need to get Kurogiri back," Tomura argued. "He knew the most about Sensei's network other then Ujiko."
"Which is why I was here to tell you that in a few months he's going on trial," the businessman smiled widely showing off the new gold tooth he had made for himself from the melted down from ring that was once Re-Destro's family crest. "We have time to make a plan and bust the good bartender out if you can calm down."
This news seemed to pacify Shigaraki enough that Giran could move away from in between the pair giving Dabi a stern look as he did. "And you, stop antagonizing the brat, I know it can be fun to get him worked up sometimes but right now isn't one of them."
Dabi clenched her fists and nodded knowing that right now she couldn't risk pissing Giran off, she needed him.
Shigaraki noticed the change in attitude and smirked. "Your daddy issues are showing."
"Says the Creep who got a little teary eyed just now at the mention of his beloved Sensei," Dabi replied running her middle finger down her face.
Shiaragki flushed a violent shade of red and reached for the flame user grabbing her coat with all five fingers and decaying it instantly. Normally the destruction of anything Dabi's would make him happy but Tomura was shocked by the look of sheer terror that made its way to the cremation users face. Using the split-second of disbelief to her advantage Dabi let her hand fly out and deliver a hard-painful slap hard to Shigaraki's face.
Stepping back in case he tried to grab her again Dabi hugged herself and tried to squash down the flames of her quirk all the while glaring at the shocked face of Shigaraki as he held his face from where she had just hit him hissing venomously at him.
"Don't you ever touch me again."
Turning on her heel Dabi quickly made her escape from the room passed the stunned faces of her comrades.
Notes
Not sure when I'll have a chance to update next but I'm aiming for the next two weeks.
In the mean time it would really mean a lot to me if you would review and tell me what you think of my story so far. This is my second My Hero Academia story and the first time I've ever gender bended a character like Dabi so feed back would be appreciated.
