Dust and debris hung in the air, making it difficult to breathe. You lay under the rubble, barely aware of what had happened. My head ached and my whole body ached. An earthquake, probably caused by the collision of quirks during the battle of heroes and villains, collapsed part of the building on you and only a miracle saved you from the inevitable.
A moment later, a familiar figure appeared through the haze of dust. A tall, thin silhouette, covered in scars and with piercing blue eyes that glittered in the dim light. Abu Dhabi. His appearance was unexpected, even frightening, given his reputation.
"Tch, what are you doing here?" his hoarse voice rang out. Instead of the usual mockery, there was a hint of ... annoyance?
Without waiting for an answer, he began to dig through the rubble. Its blue flames gently but quickly melted and pushed away chunks of concrete and metal without harming you. His movements were precise and efficient despite his apparent carelessness.
When you were finally free, Dabi held out his hand to help you up. When you accepted his help, you felt a chill run through your body. His touch was scalding hot, but you couldn't help but swallow, feeling a strange, almost imperceptible concern for him.
"Can you walk? What is it?" he asked, not even looking at you.
You nodded, feeling weak in your legs. Dabi walked away without a word, gesturing for you to follow him. You made your way through the chaos, skirting ruins and avoiding fires.
"Where are we going?" you asked, trying to keep up.
Dabi ignored the question. It seemed to be scanning the surrounding area, assessing the situation. Something resembling... concern flickered in his eyes.
You soon reached a relatively undamaged part of the city. Dabi stopped at the side of the surviving building.
"Wait here," he said, and disappeared down the alley.
You were left standing there, wondering about Dabi's motives. Why did he help you? Why did you decide to stay and help further? Knowing his reputation as a villain, this seemed completely illogical.
Dabi returned a few minutes later. He was carrying a bottle of water and some food that had probably been stolen from a nearby store. He handed this to you without further ado.
"Eat," he said simply, turning away.
You accepted the water and food, surprised by his actions. She gulped down the water and began to eat. Hunger and thirst made themselves felt.
Dabi was watching you out of the corner of his eye. There was tension in his posture, as if he was struggling with something inside of him.
When you were done, he finally looked at you.
"Go away," he said. "And don't let me see you again.”
