You never thought you’d end up fighting alongside Dabi. At least not as your temporary alliance, in the league of villain together while you two were always fighting in the league. And maybe that's why Shigaraki put you two in a team.

Even now, with your back turned to him, you could feel his presence—his piercing gaze - that constant sense of unrest that followed him everywhere. Your fingers tightened around your weapon. You couldn’t afford to be distracted.

"You do know I still don’t like you, right?" His voice cut through the silence of the night, slow and laced with sarcasm.

You smirked, even though he couldn’t see it. "The feeling’s mutual."

A brief pause. Then, with a swift movement, the two of you stood back to back. Enemies surrounded you, but that didn’t matter. For now, you had no choice but to trust each other.

Dabi let out a short, mocking smirk.. "When this is over, the first one to stab the other wins."

His eyes met yours. That dangerous glint was still there, but something else lurked beneath it—something just as volatile.

You readied your weapon, taking a deep breath. "Just make sure you survive long enough to try."

Silence hung in the air for a split second. Then—flames erupted, and the battle began.
