My eyes wide as my heart pounded, I stared at the now empty alleyway. Not even fifteen minutes ago, we were happy go lucky, living life. We finally had the happy friends and family we longed for! Now, I was alone as footsteps grew louder as they approached, closing me into the alley. Cornered and alone, I put my hands up. Erasure Head stiffened, erasing my quirk. He was ready for me to attack, but I just lowered my head in surrender. Even if I had any fight left in me, it wouldn't be the same without them.
As the hero came closer skeptically, I put my facade up once more," Aww, what's little Erasure doing our by himself? Get ditched?" He growled,"I could ask you the same thing, Dabi." I flinched at the thought. I knew they wouldn't have forgotten me, but I still hoped. He paused,"Where are they?" I raised my head confused,"Who?" He growled," You know who I'm talking about, villain!" My ears twitched at his sudden change of tone. "If you're talking about the league, I don't know!" I cried out, shaking. My legs gave out and I fell to my knees, unable to keep up my act. At my quick movement, Erasure wrapped my body up with his scarf. I forced my tears away as I lowered my head to look at the camp concrete below my body. Leaning back against the wall of a building, I watched the hero inch closer out of the corner of my vision. My arms were held to my side as I began to struggle against the grey fabric, attempting to prevent him from touching me. His rough fingers brushed my cheek, before I growled at him. It was a nervous tick I had picked up as a child, and it had stuck with me as a young adult.
The hero jumped back, his quirk activated. I met his stare coldly," I'm not going to attack you. Just don't touch me!" He didn't say anything else as he used his scarf to pull me to my feet, and walked away. I was frozen to the spot, lost in my own thoughts momentarily, before he tugged on his scarf. Suddenly hit by reality, I snapped out of my daze. I followed behind him obediently like a dog on a leash. It was about time to turn myself in anyways.
Around twenty minutes of walking later, we were stopped by a man's sudden voice from above our heads," Hey Erasure!". I looked up to find the winged hero known as Hawks. I tensed immediately, burning Erasure's scarf too quickly for him to erase my flame in time. I grabbed at the hood of my cloak, pulling it over my head as an attempt to hide my face. Erasure restrained my arms again. Hawks landed in front of me, a bright red feather pointed at my throat," What was that about, Dabi?" i looked down, "My-My ears got cold." Erasure spoke up," You could asked for help instead of burning my scarf." I growled," Keep your hands away from me!" He tightened the grey restraints instinctively, and I fell silent. Hawks seemed to notice my discomfort but didn't say anything about it. Erasure stepped closer to us, causing me to step back. Not paying attention, I bumped into Hawks. I turned sightly," Sorry!" He stared at me," No, you're okay. It was an accident." He turned to the other hero confused," Anyways... I came by because Nezu was concerned with how long you were taking." Thebscarffed hero replied," Well, usually is be back by now, but I can't carry another person with my scarf. Obviously, taking public transportation isn't an option." Hawks pursed his lips, glancing over at me. My eyes widened as realization hit me," No. No! Hawks!" He smirked, moving closer before picking me up.
The air blew through my hair as it hit my cheeks roughly. My eyes were squeezed shut tightly, as I smacked and kicked aimlessly at him. I hoped that by making it harder to fly, he would land and allow Erasure to escort me to prison instead. I'd much rather have my arms restrained so tightly that they were sore, than to be at the hands of Hawks' reckless flight. Eventually, he said something that made me rethink my idea,"If you don't stop that nonsense, I'll end up dropping you!" I froze suddenly, clutching to his tan jacket tightly with my eyes still closed.
As soon as I felt us land, I reopened my eyes and jumped from his arms. I immediately sat on the ground, thankful to be alive. Once my head stopped spinning and my ears popped again, I looked up at the prison only to find it was UA instead. Lost, I turned to the hero who had been watching me intently," Why-why are we at U-UA?!" He blinked, before grinning, " You'll be attending UA from now on as a student! " He did jazz hands before turning towards the pristine school to admire it, " With a few extra precautions obviously, you being you and all. " I stood slowly, before taking the opportunity to escape. I sprinted away, entering the wood that surrounded the school, hoping the treetops would conceal me from Hawks' sight when he realized I was gone. I knew that he would most likely be in trouble for letting me escape, but I refuse to go back to the past. Pausing to allow myself to catch my breath, I heard water rushing...
