Toga wiped her lip after finishing off the vial, a mud-like substance building up on her skin. Her features melted away, twisting into that of a large man's.

After finishing, she wiped herself off, glancing at her fingertips. "Gah. This body is so not cool," she complained.

Dabi snickered, causing Toga to stick her tongue out at him.

"C'mon guys, we should get going," I sighed, giggling afterwards. "Oh, how fun this will be!"

Dropping down from the building, we made our way towards the hideout. I forced myself to relax more, shoulders drooping as my eyes dulled. Shoving my hands in my pockets, I continued at an even pace, just enough to keep with the others.

Dabi seemed to take the hint, as he began to do the same. Toga, however, feigned a powerful nature.

As we neared the door, we sped up slightly, eventually making it to our destination. Dabi and I halted behind Toga as she spoke, giving off a commanding presence.

The guards tensed up as soon as she opened her lips. "Let me in."

"Y-yes, sir!" One of the guards saluted, as the other stood firm.

"What's the code?" he tested.

Toga's eyes widened for a moment, before narrowing at the man. "Excuse me?"

He stepped closer, getting in her face. "What's the code, sir?"

"I don't have time for this," she growled, shoving past him. He, however, blocked her from getting to the door. "What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm going to need you to recite the code to us."

I noticed as she began panicking, so I stepped out from the side.

"Look, man. We're just here to apply for positions here or whatever. If we can't get in now, we'll just leave," I sighed, faking annoyance.

He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment before stepping to the side. "Alright...," he hesitated. "I guess we can't have you hearing the code until we hire you..."

The man's eyes became less sharp, gaining a sense of friendliness. He turned around and inputted the code, using his hand to block our vision.

As he finished, he spun around, stepping away so we could enter. The door rumbled, rising slowly to reveal a dimly lit room.

Both of the guards nodded at Toga, her doing the same in turn as we wandered in. Behind us, the door almost immediately shut, darkening the room further.

Squinting, I scanned the room. "I don't see anyone in here. Must just be an entrance-type area. We should just move along."

Toga dropped her shoulders, loosening up a bit. She stretched her arms over her head, yawning. "All right. We should get this done soon, though. I'm tired."

Dabi rolled his eyes before we began travelling up the stairs, shoes clacking against the cement as we ascended.

The next floor was brighter and more homey, with a ceiling light along with carpeting. However, there was still no sign of life, leaving me confused.

"What's going on here?" I mumbled to myself.

A chill went down my spine as I glanced around, a shadow moving swiftly around the room. "I think they've pegged us," I whispered. "One of the guards must've alerted them of our position. Looks like this won't be as easy as we thought."
Toga simply shrugged, pulling out a knife from her pocket as she melted to reveal her true form. She quickly covered up, then launched towards the shadow.

With a swift stabbing motion, she caught the figure dead on, causing them to collapse. They groaned, rolling out from the shadows. Only a grunt. Probably trying to spy on us or something.

"Finish him off, Toga," I said, averting my eyes as she grinned. When I looked back, I noticed blood splashed on her cheek, staining her clothes.

She giggled as she pranced back over to us, allowing all of us to move up further.

On the second floor, there were several more people waiting for us, with their positions easily spotted.

Dabi grinned, lighting his palms with blue fire as he stepped forwards, burning each of them to dust. I shivered as we continued upwards, keeping up the rhythm until we reached the top.

At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special, but the guards there clearly had better equipment, protecting a large figure in the back.

Each of them ran towards us, surrounding our little group in a circle. Toga took a battle stance, Dabi lighting his fire. I shook my head, raising my hand as a signal for them to stop.

They each looked at me, confused as I stepped forwards. A few of the guards spread out, revealing their boss.

I spoke coldly, "We're here to request that you cease your activities. We don't appreciate you tarnishing the League's name."

The man chuckled, smirking. "Alright, little boy. Exactly what will happen if we don't?"

-x- Third Person POV -x-

Midoriya tilted his head to the side, his breaths becoming erratic. He quickly snatched the mask off his face, releasing green curls to fall over his eyes.

As he glanced up, a wicked grin was revealed, his eyes wild. Pulling a knife from his pocket, Midoriya launched towards the hulk of a man, causing his eyes to widen. However, he quickly dodged him, seemingly angering the boy.

He began stabbing wildly, growling. Tightening his grip, he breathed outwardly, beginning to aim more carefully. With a precise slash, he cut the man's cheek, landing a few more hits as he continued.

The man stumbled backwards after another blow, but quickly steadied himself. He leaped towards the boy, causing him to react.

Without a second thought, Midoriya's arm shot out, pushing the man to the ground. In a swift motion, he jumped down onto the man and forced his arm behind his back, effectively pinning him to the ground.

Licking his lips, Midoriya grinned. "Whatever shall you do now?" he giggled wildly.

The man struggled from underneath, the boy's grip tightening as he did so. Midoriya clicked his tongue as the man's lackeys neared him, Dabi and Toga keeping them at bay.

"I just wanna talk, c'mon," he whispered into his ear, insanity tightly holding onto him. He brushed his fingers against the man's hair, chills running down the man's spine.

"Okay, OKAY!" he shouted, falling limp. "What do you want?"

He twirled his hair around his finger, smiling. "Most of all? For you to die," he giggled, adapting a cold look. "However... We'd rather you bring a stop to your use of our name. If you refuse, we'll return and slaughter you all." The boy clapped, a grin stretching widely across his face. "Got that?"

The man nodded slowly as Midoriya jumped off of him, stretching. "Let's go guys," he gestured towards the exit. They both nodded, somewhat surprised by his sudden changes in his attitude.

Dropping their arms, they met up with Midoriya, and each of them made their way back through the building, eventually finding themselves at the exit.

"Well, that was fun!" Toga giggled.

Dabi had the slightest hint of a smile on his lips, while Midoriya looked off into the distance, his eyes blank. "Yeah."
