If there was one thing you loved more than anything, it was blowing something up and seeing the hellfire rain down on your enemies. You welded a tightly controlled and powerful explosion quirk, giving you massive blasts and could easily take down most heroes, even a few villains who got in your way. So, one day, after you pulled off a successful heist, you drove back to your house in the suburbs with a smile on your face. Most of your neighbors believed that you were just a simple business administrator, not suspecting anything wrong with the world or yourself.

You stepped out of your car and waved to your neighbor. They waved back with a large smile on their face as they went back to work in their gardens. Once you walked into the house, you flipped your lights on and walked on into the kitchen. You whistled a little as you placed your keys on your countertop and placed your recent stolen case on it as well.

You smirked as you peered inside the case, seeing the contents within. You then heard some light clinking sound and quickly turned around and raised your hand to ready your quirk. You quickly glanced over and saw a woman standing in your living room wearing quite the revealing costume.

(Y/N): Who the hell are you?

Dusty: Name's Dusty Ash. Pleasure.

You glared at her a little, still keeping your arm raised at her.

(Y/N): You a pro hero?

Dusty: Ah hell no. I wouldn't be caught dead with that kind of license. Now then, I have an offer.

(Y/N): Oh yeah.

Dusty: My boss wants you to come work with us. We could use a guy like you. Master thief, explosions, hiding in plain sight. Seriously, You are perfect for the job.

(Y/N): I'll pass.

Dusty: Excuse me, what?! You don't just turn down an offer from the Volcano Thieves you little bastard. You want to get richer, we can go ahead and help you out with that!

(Y/N): You assume I want to be busted by the heroes. Listen Angel Dust-

Dusty: Not my name!

(Y/N): Look at me, you think I care?! Now listen, you can go tell your boss to politely screw off and get the hell out of my house! Or are we going to have a problem here?

Dusty: What are you going to do? Use your quirk on me?

You glared at her, but she did have a point. If you used your quirk, not only would your neighbors find out, but the cops would as well. Which meant that your entire shtick would be up like that. You sighed and walked over to her. She offered up a smirk and you stepped closer to her.

Dusty: As I take it this is an accepted offer?

(Y/N): That's one way of saying it, yes.

Dusty: Good. Come along then. My car is out back and-

As she walked past you, you grabbed her arm and squeezed down. She turned back to you and with a shocked expression, watched as you picked her up and slammed her down onto the ground. She rolled back as you stood back up and glared down at her.

Dusty: Fine then, hard way!

Dusty emitter some ash from her skin and grabbed it, threw it at your face, and ran up to attack you. You dodged some of the ash and saw she was going in with an attack to your cheek. You stepped out of the way and pushed her arm to the side. She jumped onto your wall and backflipped and pushed a kick forward to try and attack you again. Once again, you dodged the attack and let her land on the floor behind you.

She released more ash from her leg, blinding you slightly. She proceeded to kick up and push you into the wall. As she went in to attack again, you stepped to the side and grabbed her leg, and forcefully pushed it down to the ground. Dusty winced in pain slightly but ducked under your attempted swing kick. She rolled backward and extended her bo staff and swung it around and attacked you again. You ducked under the staff and blocked it with your forearm again and glared at her.

(Y/N): Ready to give up?

Dusty: Ready to have your teeth kicked?

(Y/N): My, aren't you a fiery one.

Dusty: All part of the charm.

(Y/N): Care to elaborate?

Dusty: Are you serious suggesting THAT??!!

(Y/N): You are the one that decided to wear panties as part of your suit.

Dusty blushed, her face becoming redder by the nano-second. You quickly took advantage and pushed the staff away. You charged forward and pushed Dusty Ash into your countertop and quickly picked her up and slammed her back down onto the ground. She groaned out in pain and then you placed your knee down onto her stomach and your hand over her mouth.

(Y/N): So then, we are going to try this again. YOU are going to go back to your boss and tell them if they want to make an offer, they come to me. Exclusively them. No more agents, no more underlings. Either the top brass or nothing at all. And the next time I see you!...We'll have a lovely chat and catch up. But if you try to kill me, I will slaughter you! One blast can easily break apart that body of yours. And don't you forget it, got it?

Dusty Ash nodded her head silently at you. You removed your hand from her mouth and got off of her body. She winced a little before she got back up to her feet. As she walked to your back door, she stopped herself and turned back to you.

Dusty: Next time...make it worth my while. Especially if you hit like that again.

(Y/N): Well, if you're into that stuff, I can get you in contact with a girl I know.

Dusty: And that is something I'm not into.

(Y/N): Good to know. Seriously, don't ever threaten my house again.

Dusty Ash rolled her eyes and gave you the finger. She opened the door and ran out along the backyard and jumped over your fence. You rolled your eyes and looked back to your house. Ash was all over the floor and some of your wall was dented. You then looked over and saw the case was slightly open. You raised your eyebrows and ran over to the case and saw it was empty. You grumbled a little as your plan developed.

Several weeks later, Dusty Ash is inside a warehouse, the hideout of the Volcano Thieves. With her is Gust Boy, counting some money in a case.

Gust: Seriously, this is what the boss got last raid?

Dusty: It's not much, I know. But you cannot deny that he at least tried this time.

Gust: You kidding me? We're losing profit. We need to step up our game and faster.

The door of the warehouse opened and a shadowy figure of Volcano is shown.

Dusty: Boss!

Gust: Listen, man, we gotta talk.

Volcano stayed still until he fell forward, completely knocked out. They looked up in shock, both getting their powers ready. However, Dusty stops as you slammed your foot down on Volcanos back and stand up over him. You were inside your villain costume, glaring at the other two. You walked forward as Gust Boy ran forward to attack you. You raised your hand and blasted the ground before him and launched him back into the wall and form a crater into it.

(Y/N): Listen up! I'm in charge of this operation from now on. And if anyone has a problem with that, you can take it up with me. Now then, we have work to do. UNDERSTAND???!!!

Gust and Dusty looked over at you in shock but nod nonetheless. Dusty gave you a wink as you nodded at her. You then walked off and began to explain plans with the Volcano Thieves.
