Chapter 2: Start of the Reaction
The Dimension Princess settled into the projection booth; a small enclave tucked away at the back of the theater. Surrounded by the soft hum of machinery and the flickering light of the projector, she operated the controls with practiced precision. With a subtle gesture, she selected and projected her chosen videos onto the large screen before the seated audience. Each image and scene danced across the canvas, casting a mesmerizing glow in the dimly lit theater.
"This first scene might be a bit intense, so be prepared," the Dimension Princess warned."

Shoto Todoroki sat frozen in his seat, his eyes widening in disbelief. Memories surged, connecting the fragmented pieces of a long-standing mystery. "Touya..." he breathed; his voice barely audible amidst the murmurs that rippled through the room.
Natsuo Todoroki clenched his fists, his expression a mixture of shock and anger. His gaze flickered to Endeavor, who remained stone-faced, his jaw clenched in denial.
Fuyumi Todoroki turned pale, her hand covering her mouth in horror. "It can't be..." she whispered, her voice trembling.
Endeavor was equally stunned, his shock palpable. "My little boy... he's alive," he muttered, his gaze turning to Rei, who surprised him with a soft smile.
Tomura Shigaraki's eyes narrowed as he processed the revelation. "Touya... so that's your real name. Interesting," he muttered, a mix of surprise and understanding coloring his tone.
Mirko furrowed her brows, narrowing her eyes at the screen. Recognition dawned on her face as she exchanged a brief glance with Fuyumi, silently acknowledging the weight of this revelation.
Izuku Midoriya tightened his grip on Shoto's hand, concern etched across his features. "Shoto..." he started; his voice filled with worry.
Hawks remained composed, though his eyes betrayed a depth of emotion. He had known this truth since their first encounter years ago, during his mission to infiltrate the League. The bond between them, akin to that of red-tailed hawks who mate for life, had left an indelible mark on his heart.
The Dimension Princess observed their reactions keenly, her ethereal eyes reflecting the emotional turmoil that filled the theater. As the video concluded, she spoke softly yet firmly, "This is just the beginning. There is more you need to see."
Before she could continue, Rei intervened, turning her icy gaze to her eldest son. Dabi felt a shiver run down his spine, reminded of his mother's formidable presence when angered. He gulped nervously, bracing himself.
"Todoroki Touya!" Pretendingto be surprised, Rei's voice cut through the room with icy precision. "How dare you fake your own death? I couldn't care less if you became a villain, but what on earth are those clothes? And I forbid you from getting any more piercings! And why are you so thin?" She turned sharply to Shigaraki, whose eyes widened in surprise. "Are you not feeding him anything in your little group?"
Shigaraki stammered, visibly taken aback and at a loss for words.
First to break the silence was Natsuo's laughter, so hearty that tears streamed down his face as he clutched his stomach. Fuyumi tried and failed to stifle her giggles, while Shoto chuckled softly. Soon, everyone else couldn't help but join in, the room filling with laughter.
After everyone had calmed down they turned back to the screen.

Once again, laughter erupted.

"You had to call your stuff?" Izuku asks Shoto confused. Shotos eyebrows pinch „I don't even remember that..."
"Aw, baby Shoto! How adorable!" Rei cooed, earning an embarrassed "Mom!" from her son as he blushed.
"We never went on vacation," Natsuo chimed in, looking bewildered, while Endeavor added, "We definitely didn't have a station wagon."
"Say my parents are great? Never!" Shoto protested, but then shaken by his mother's glare he says, "I mean, uh, Mom is great!"
Laughter erupted as everyone recalled Shoto's stint with a pogo stick.
"We did spend loads of time in the yard," Dabi mused, nodding as Natsuo and Fuyumi giggled. Shoto pouted.
"You stared at the sun??"
Dabi and Natsuo chuckled, abruptly stopping when they heard their mom's stern voice.
"You nearly blinded my baby! Touya, Natsuo, never dare your brother to stare at the sun!" Rei scolded fiercely.
"The worst part was always being the first kid sent in to calm Mom down!" Dabi exclaimed, while Hawks chuckled, "Shut it, birdie!"
"Oh, I remember that" Rei sighed, while Endeavor rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb. "You broke your brother's arm?!"
"No!" Fuyumi interjected, as Dabi quickly added, "He did it all on his own!" which earned an exasperated sigh from Endeavor.

"Every time!" Endeavor groans annoyed and turns to his wife with a betrayed look as she laughs.

"I don't even know where to start..." Mirko said between fits of laughter.
"Hawks, you traitor!" Endeavor shouted angrily, while Hawks just shrugged.
"Is no one gonna mention that Hawks eats KFC?" Izuku asked, looking perplexed.
Dabi shot his secret boyfriend a disgusted look as he called Endeavor "Enji," to which Hawks simply winked.
"I'm not gonna eat Tokoyami!" Hawks squawked irately, quickly covering his mouth as everyone stared at him in surprise.
"Did you just squawk?"
"... No?" Hawks said timidly.
"Hey, I'm there!" Izuku exclaimed excitedly, prompting everyone to turn back to the screen as Hawks sank into his seat, sighing in relief. Dabi discreetly stroked the feather he was wearing, knowing it calmed his nervous bird. Hawks shot him a thankful smile.
"You took Eri's bike?!" Izuku said, turning on rage mode.
"You took a little kid's bike?!" Rei sighed disappointedly.
Mirko turned to Endeavor. "You called Shigaraki?" she asked incredulously, while Shigaraki simultaneously asked, "You called me?" He then declared, "I want Heelies! I will be unstoppable!"
"All For One is a part-time Uber driver?" Shoto asked, baffled.
"That surprises you?"
"All For One is Izuku's dad?!" Shoto yelled incredulously.
"I don't mind living with the League of Villains," Rei noted, smiling softly.
"Next, who wants to see Shoto dance?" TheDimension Princess asks.
"Shoto can dance?" Fuyumi asks, giving her youngest brother a puzzled look. Shoto just shrugs "Mina taught me."

Everyone, minus Endeavor and Shigaraki, claps and cheers.
Natsuo whistles, whooping supportively "Go get it little bro!"
Izuku is a blushing mess.

"... that is your class?" Endeavor asks Shoto, who grins proudly, in disbelief. Meanwhile Natsuo and Hawks are rolling on the floor, dying of laughter.

(they don't notice Dabihawks, it's not time yet 🤫)
Shigaraki doesn't know whether to laugh or sigh in disappointment. Dabi is laughing while Endeavor and Mirko are confused as to why Hawks is with the League of Villains in the first place.
