"Good morning."

Tomura walked into the kitchen to see a three tier chocolate peanut butter cake.

"How did you get the shit to make that?" he asked.

Izuku shrugged, "The store I guess? I walked down to the mini mart and bought everything. I went disguised though. You have nothing to worry about."

He squinted at him waiting for the 'but' to that situation but there wasn't one.

"Our villainous ways are rubbing off on you?"

Izuku chuckled, "Perhaps. Or I got tips from Dabi."

The hero cut the cake and handed his fiance his plate.

"Like he would know about being a villain."

Izuku laughed.

"Oh yea.... Dabi is hitting on Uravity by the way."

Izuku dropped the plastic plate onto the table.

Did I hear.... did I hear that right?

"What?"

"He's been sneaking off trying to keep it secret."

Izuku sat down and hummed like he was really thinking about it.

"Doesn't that bother you?" Shigaraki asked.

"I guess not? I mean.... She's an adult and if she really likes him I say go for it. To be honest I thought Dabi was asexual or something like that. He never talked about anyone like that other than saying Camie was hot but... I just kind of thought he wasn't interested in such things."

"He's picky about who he sleeps with. I guess we got lucky there since he wasn't fucking everything that walked. Being in the League of Villains didn't leave a lot of time for dating so he probably felt no need to look anywhere until now."

"Oh."

That's true.

"Cake!"

The couple jumped upon hearing Himiko's voice.

"Thank you Izuku!"

"You're welcome," he said flashing her a smile.

"Hey, who does Dabi like?" Shigaraki asked, just trying to make a point.

"Ochako, why?" she asked.

Izuku handed her a plate of cake and she sat down. He gave his fiance a weird look.

"Just proving a point."

"He's been asking what girls like! I'm so excited for him! He's been wanting babies for a few years now and he offered to help babysit! I suppose once this is over, I'll have to get a job. Jin and I were talking about it last night."

"Dabi.... Dabi? Our Dabi?" Tomura said looking surprised.

"Yup! He's a family man!" she said with a smile full of cake.

"I'm here for you guys until you get on your feet," the hero said with a smile.

"Awww Izuku!" she said grabbing his arm.

She pulled him over and kissed his cheek.

"How's your back?"

"It still stings some but it's looking better."

"Kurogiri had asked that chick to come back and heal you."

"Oh...."

Izuku looked conflicted.

"We would be meeting her though. Kurogiri warped her here last time so she has no idea how to get here."

"Ah ok."

"It's because she's from another country."

They ate in silence until Dabi came out of his room next. He had a big grin on his face that he couldn't hide.

"So, I take it Ochako is doing well?" Izuku asked.

Tomura and Himiko snickered like idiots as Dabi's face fell.

"What? What the fuck- you told him?!"

"I'm ok with it."

Dabi stared at him.

"What? I am. Want some cake?"

"I do!" Jin said taking a seat by his girlfriend.

Izuku got up and cut a few more pieces out and handed them off.

"I suppose Shouto is ok with it since your texting for all of us?"

Tomura had decayed all of their phones just as a precaution and Dabi had gotten a brand new one just for that reason.

"Why does it matter to you if he's ok with it or not?"

A weird smile appeared on his lips.

"The thing is, we are really protective of each other. If you were to hurt Ochako even a little bit, I'm sure Shouto would freeze you to death. I would have to break your arms and legs for hurting her. Before you say anything, it's not a threat.... it's a promise I'm willing to keep. I haven't said anything to Tenya yet but Ochako begged me not too because I wanted to give him a piece of my mind."

Dabi didn't even blink.

"Apparently someone had already talked to her about her problems with Tenya. They have convinced her that it wasn't even a relationship since they were hiding it without good reason. She said she was pretty upset but the wine helped some then she had sleepover but wouldn't mention who. I wasn't going to press for it but now it makes sense."

Dabi rolled his eyes in response.

"That's why I'm ok with it. Just be careful. She's really open and sensitive. Also, she's got a mean streak so I would be careful. She could also float you into outer space to kill you so.... be careful."

Shigaraki was enjoying this more than he should have. It was hardly ever that he saw a much darker side to his fiance who was practically the sun.

"I'll keep that in mind. I like a woman who can keep me on my toes."

Izuku grinned evilly, "Maybe she'll give you a lap dance too."

Tomura was roaring with laughter now.

"Fuck you both."

"I don't think you could handle me," Izuku said coolly, "I wouldn't do that to Ochako either. If she likes you that quickly then that means she really likes you."

"Good morning everyone."

They all turned to Kurogiri.

"Ah, cake. How nice, thank you Izuku."

"You're welcome."

"We are going to meet that healer around one. I'm sorry for asking for extra help from someone we didn't know but your back was pretty bad. If you don't mind, once we are done eating I would like to look."

Izuku nodded.

"We do need to talk about Sako."

"What's the plan?" Jin asked, "You want me to send out some clones?"

The mist man shook his head, "No, because Bakugou already saw your face. I think the best thing would be for Tomura and Izuku to go back alone and hunt for him until we get a lead from Midnight or Shouto."

"Did you need your medicine?" Shigaraki asked looking at Jin.

"No, Dabi got them when he went to feed Fishstick."

"Alright then."

"Dad is watching our apartment," Dabi said with a smile.

Izuku chuckled, "How funny."

Tomura reached up and scratched his neck lightly. He hadn't done it in a while but how could he be ok with exposing the love of his life to a world that may hurt him again?

"Are you ok-

Tomura pushed back the chair he was sitting in and went to his room. He slammed the down leaving them all baffled.

"I'm sorry for having to bring you here."

"Where are we? It's cold," Izuku said hugging the coat he just bought, against him.

He had no idea why Kurogiri had suggested it.

"We are in Russia."

Izuku stared at him.

"What?"

"I have read there are more healing quirks in this country than others for whatever reason. There wasn't much about it otherwise I would tell you because I know you would love to hear it."

Izuku nodded and smiled.

"I haven't had the chance to tell you thank you," Kurogiri said.

"What do you mean?"

"For everything you have done. For the things you did for Tenko."

It was a little odd to hear someone else use Tomura's given name.

"Oh.... well it was a good accident."

"His life was rough."

Izuku looked into Kurogiri's yellow eyes.

"He keeps it secret and I'm not even sure if he told Dabi about it. I am the only other person who knows since his master is gone."

"Are we talking Todoroki rough or worse?"

"Worse."

Izuku bit his lip.

"Those hands are the only thing that he ever kept but it was sick. It was a reminder of what he had done even by accident. He hasn't told you but the two of you aren't very different at all. When he's able to tell you, you'll see why."

After twenty minutes of waiting, a short haired woman showed up in a big furry coat. She was speaking another language so Izuku couldn't follow what she was saying but Kurogiri was very fluent in it. The hero shouldn't have been surprised but he was. Kurogiri was able to go anywhere in the world if he wanted. He was a brilliant man.

"Alright, we are going someplace else and she can heal you there."

"Alright."

What the healing woman done was a lot more painful than what Recovery girl would do. He almost screamed as she ran her fingers over his back but he stayed still. Kurogiri saw the uncomfortable look on his face but he stayed quiet. The woman had warned him it would be painful but he was out cold from the burns on his back the first time she did it.

She started talking. Kurogiri nodded and talked to her leaving Izuku feeling a little left out as his back was racked with pain. Come to find out, her quirk required her to dig her extended fingernails into his skin into his back to actually work.

Once the painful healing was finished, they walked outside. Izuku was feeling a little dizzy from the horrid healing placed upon him. Kurogiri patted his shoulder like he was trying to apologize without actually saying it. They walked for a while in silence.

"Once you know the truth about Tenko, you won't believe how similar you two are."

The hero stopped in his tracks. It really was cold and the wind was blowing snow around.

"Similar? What do you mean?"

"He hasn't told you but once he does...." he trailed off.

"Once he does what?"

"There are horrible things that he will tell you but I want you to understand.... It's dark. You would understand since you had said it yourself that you could've been a villain. It's not giving him an excuse for being one but I understand why."

Izuku hugged his body.

"I'm kind of one now."

Kurogiri chuckled.

"I have no doubt you would be the greatest hero in the world even more than All Might. You decided to walk the hardest road of life. Even if the world shuns you after all this this, you'll still be that hero called Deku. Quirkless or not."

"I'm prepared to lose everything. I have for a while. If they do shut me out, I would like to helps other villains like Tenko. Those who went down the wrong path because they felt like that was their only choice. I want to help kids too. The ones who feel like no one understands them."

Kurogiri smiled.

"You think he'd go for that?"

"Possibly," Kurogiri said with amusement in his voice, "He wouldn't tell you this but for some reason kids like him. Even when he has all those hands on them, a lot of kids have flocked to him. That's why he calls them brats."

Izuku laughed. The image of Tomura being covered in five year olds treating him like a jungle gym was just too pure for him, it was hilarious.

"Are you ready to go back?"

"Yea."

"Tenko was very furious I would suggest sending you out to help but I felt it would be best. The two of you can protect each other."

"I wish he would've protected himself against Kacchan. I don't know why he didn't."

"They didn't want to kill him by accident. It would've upset you and everyone else."

The hero stayed quiet.

"Let's get back. I'm sure your fiance is worried."

"Alright dumbasses, pay attention!" Dabi barked.

Izuku sat straight up.

"Since neither of you know how to be a villain," Dabi said with a grin, "I'm going to give a quick lesson before you head out and look for Sako."

"Fuck you, you raisin looking mother fucker-

Izuku placed a hand over Tomura's mouth.

"Go on," he said with a grin.

"Alright, I bought you a throw away phone."

"Bought or stole?" Tomura snapped.

"I'm trying my best to be a good boy and you have to purchase the fucking phone for it to activate you idiot."

He growled but stayed quiet.

"I programmed one number. It's mine and you are to decay it the moment you find Sako or end your search."

"That sounds good to me."

"For one, cover up your fucking broccoli looking hair," Dabi said, "You are way too noticeable now. Don't even think of your weird green bunny costume."

"Hey-

"You," he said turning to Tomura, "Cover up your face completely. You're fugly face is too recognizable. I want you both to wear black and that means no fucking out there either. You are to only reveal yourself to Sako or an ally. If you come across Blasty McAsshole then get the fuck out of there."

Izuku started snickering.

"Go get dressed so I can tell you both how bad you are at disguises."

"I will decay your fucking face one day I swear."

"I can't wait!" Dabi said with fake enthusiasm to piss him off further.

Much to Dabi's surprise, Izuku had nailed it. Shigaraki on the other hand.... he did not give a shit. He wore his black hoodie and black pants with bright red shoes..... that oddly matched his fiance's shoes. Dabi rolled his eyes.

"We are trying to be stealthy you fucking idiot."

After listening to them fight for thirteen minutes, Izuku and Tomura walked through the warp back into their home city. It was a nice considering Izuku was freezing his ass off not long ago.

"I miss being here," the hero said closing his eyes.

"Are you sure you can do this with your back like it is?"

"Yea. It's not as painful as it was. That lady's nails hurt worse than the actual burn."

Tomura stared at him.

"Her nails were part of the healing quirk remember? It wasn't like that," he said turning bright red.

"Oh..... um yea I knew that."

They began their walk around the city looking for just a glimpse of Mr. Compress. Tenko was beginning to feel like maybe he was dead or he left the city. They had to hide a few times because of a few heroes that had passed by but no one gave them a second glance. It was very nerve racking.

"Are you ok?"

Izuku jerked a little and nodded.

"Y-yea."

"Being a villain isn't that easy."

He cracked a smile that made Tenko's heart flutter.

"It's ok, I would be more confident in a city where I didn't know people."

"Oh, so if I whisked you away to another city you would rob people blind and commit various acts of villainy?"

"If this doesn't work, I might."

The villain snickered and shoved him playfully, "Shut up. You wouldn't do that."

"Oh really?" Izuku asked starting to cocky all of the sudden.

"Stop it otherwise we will do something stupid and Dabi might actually burn us alive."

Izuku nodded but the devious grin was still on his face.

Tomura took him to every single hideout they had and it was blowing the hero's mind. They had place every where. It was mind blowing honestly about how close they really were to UA. How close they were to his own apartment with his mother.

"Fuck this is really annoying. Where is he?"

"Where is who?"

Izuku felt his blood run cold. The couple turned around to see Katsuki Bakugou standing there in his hero costume and a pissed off look on his face.
