Dabi had always been a little amused by the public's opinion on Endeavor. They disliked him - fearful of the flaming ‘hero’. Dabi couldn't wait for their reactions when he finally exposed how much of a flaming piece of shit the number two hero really was. The fear, outrage and all the other reactions he was going to pull from the public of hero worshipping nobodies.

However, there was one person. Dabi thought they were…special. A vigilante - already a lawbreaking nuisance in the eyes of the heroes and police. Oh, but they went out of their way to be a nuisance to his shitty father especially. A true thorn in the side of Enji Todoroki. Rushing in to save civilians as Enji is about to - also, not leaving before they landed at least how blow on the hero. Dabi even tuned into the news when he noticed a story about the partially vigilante.

It was entertaining to watch but something always made Dabi’s eye twitch as he watched. This person was a vigilante - how long till they got the wrong idea and thought they could take Endeavor out? How long till they took away Dabi’s revenge plan? He couldn't let that happen. He wasn't willing to give up his newly recognised birthright - snuffing out his father’s life under his boot.

So, he did the only reasonable thing. He tracked them down. All the way back to their stupid and very cramped apartment.

Dabi entered the room - a bit of forced entry on this side of town never hurt anyone. Never got reported either. Too much other shady shit going down. A smirk came to the scarred man’s lips. Too easy. This was too damn easy. He took in the space of the apartment - raising his eyebrow at the boxes of takeout but its not like he was anywhere near a clean person himself. He took his time in making his way over to the secondhand-looking couch and plopping himself down on the piece of furniture. He waited - even lit up a cigarette.

Mid-inhale when he finally hears the jingle of keys leading down the hallway outside the apartment. ‘Show time.’ - Dabi thought to himself.
