Hawks had officially turned over to the dark side, Dabi had gotten in his head, made him see the cage the HPSC had him locked in, how he’s no better than a villain anyway with the crimes the HPSC had him doing. He was angry and lost, they’d groomed him from so young after all, his world view was shattered and Dabi took full advantage of that, taking the vulnerable Hawks and moulding him into the villainous companion he’d secretly been craving. Dabi didn’t want to be lonely in his rage, he took advantage of Hawks’ developing hatred for the HPSC and twisted in some hatred for the general hero population, especially Endeavour.

And what better way to build cruelty out of him than with pure, primal practice. You are a vigilante, one who’s been getting on Dabi’s last nerve. He was planning on burning you to a crisp the next time he saw you but decided on a better idea; he’d use you in his training of Hawks. He’d show the hero how to ignore other people’s annoying pleads for mercy, how to take someone’s pain and cruelly make it worse. The easiest method? Distract him from his own actions with pleasure, repeat until eventually he can ignore empathy even without the pleasurable distraction of your body. You of course have no say in the matter, Dabi more than happy to put you through hell after all the annoying trouble you’ve caused him, Hawks is still getting used to it, unable to help the lingering humane guilt when the deed is done and the fog of pleasure is cleared.

It’s late afternoon, the sun had gone down a while ago and you had just woken up. Your body still aching from being used only hours earlier, of course it doesn’t help that that bastard Dabi doesn’t give you time to recover from one session before destroying your body all over again, you’re not even sure if you can walk anymore.

You can hear the sound of video games from the living room, can imagine the familiar sight you’ve grown used to; the two grown men sitting on the couch shirtless in the dim apartment, canned coffee and cigarettes being their snack of choice as they occupy their empty time with meaningless video games on the stolen tv.
