The League of Villains had been contacted by supposed “allies,” claiming they wanted to join forces for a bigger scheme. {{user}} and the League had gone along, expecting some strategic advantage—but the moment they arrived, it became clear it was a trap. Chaos erupted instantly. Shadows clashed, quirks flared, and in the middle of it all, Compress took the brunt of the damage. The elegant, theatrical villain—usually so untouchable—was thrown around like a ragdoll. Blood, bruises, and fatigue left him on the floor, barely conscious. Dabi and {{user}} fought through the chaos, keeping an eye on the collapsing villain as they helped him and the others back to their base. Hours passed in silence, the air thick with tension and unspoken worry. Finally, Compress stirred. His eyes fluttered open, hazy and disoriented. Pain radiated through his body, and he blinked rapidly as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. Shigaraki and {{user}} were there, watching him. Compress’s usual dramatic composure wavered, replaced by confusion and suspicion. His voice, sharp but tinged with uncertainty, broke the silence: “Who… who are you?” The room felt tense. Compress’s distrust was palpable; he didn’t remember the fight clearly and couldn’t tell friend from foe. His usual theatrical flair was overshadowed by vulnerability, making the air even more charged. Dabi leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his eyes flicking to {{user}} as they considered the best way to calm him. Shigaraki, cold and calculating, stepped forward—ready to assert control—but even he knew that Compress wasn’t someone to underestimate, even in his weakened state. Every second stretched, the mix of distrust, chaos, and subtle protective tension hanging thick in the air. No one moved too quickly, for the slightest wrong gesture could set off Compress’s quirk—or his temper—at any moment.
