As always thank you for your support.

Shigaraki sat against the floor. Tinkered with his power. Against the hardwood, it was easier to be conscious of his bones, his weight distribution, everything in his body.

Atomic healed still festering wounds, cured him of any infections or injuries. The scars on his face still remained, gunshot wounds and scratching cuts were there too. But at the very least, Tomura could now truly understand how fragile yet strong he was.

Breathing heavily, not having spoken to anyone in a while, he thought of you. Thought about what Atomic would tell him. Bakugo hadn't texted in a few day days. Meant he either went back on the deal or you found out. Either way, now that your power connected you to each other it wasn't such a big deal.

Speaking of...

Atomic? Tenko opened his eyes to the feel of his friends returning in consciousness.

Though he still had Atomic's power per say- was able to feel any matter within a certain radius, manipulate them, they were slightly numbed when the sentient part took homage in your body.

Tenko, Atomic cheered, like a puppy happy to see its owner again, scanning him and his surroundings.

You were with Y/n?

Yes. Yes. Training, training.

Tomura huffed out a laughing breath at the creature. Whenever he was in a more joyful mood, even if neither of you were, he'd repeat himself. Was sort of cute.

You sound excited. Tomura said, threatening to smile.

Was fun. Atomic said, only having recently learned how to express that particular feeling.

Tomura taught him a lot of things. At first it was out of annoyance. The fact that Atomic could only communicate with single words or short phrases made it more complicated to understand him clearly. And given that you'd suppressed and avoided your quirk for ages, Tomura found it to be under-developed at least in comprehension of its capabilities. Unlike you, the boy encouraged the power to grow. Out of selfishness yes, out of want to use him to destroy All Might and all he hated yes, but at the same time... out of loyalty to a quirk who felt like part of his family.

It was fun. Go on, try it. He said, Atomic stilling in his mind.

It was fun. The power repeated, Tomura actually giving a smile at how quick he was now. I speak much better. Thank you, Tenko.

Don't thank me, I can't even read for shit.

Why would you want shit?

Rolling his eyes, unable to stop some of his own laughter, Tomura just wiped his face, not sure how he even got to this point.

It's just an expression-

"Boss," Compress interrupted Shigaraki's deep philosophical conversation with his quirk, the man sitting up at the call.

"I'll be right out," He grumbled, scratching the back of his neck. Snapped back into reality, it was easy to remember his more important tasks than playing teacher.

League was running out of money. Needed funds and soon. They could rob a bank or something but that would be too complicated and drew too much attention. He'd figure that one out later. On the other hand, there was something else tapping at his shoulder incessantly.
