Hawks sat on his bed at the LoV's hideout his pro hero jacket strewn across the floor. He scrolls through his phone, the small screen illuminating his face. After a few minutes he lies back, his wings spread out behind him. He thinks over how the hell he's gonna let the commission let him leave. Hawks texts the head to the commission, telling them he wants to call a meeting a week or two to talk about something. Of course that something will be his resignation as a pro-hero.

Do you really think that you can rehabilitate me?

@bluecremation

"I do. I firmly believe there are some criminals that are past a point if redemption or can not be Integrated back into society, but I do not believe you are one of them. You need help and you need support. Not a prison cell."

“You can’t rehabilitate me, I’m irredeemable really. Not to mention those bastard probably want me to disappear anyway.” Dabi fidgeted with the cuffs around his wrists that prevented him from using his quirk and they were also attached to the wall so he couldn’t attack anymore either. “Come on give me your best shot, I’m sure you want hurt me after everything I’ve done.”

@bluecremation to Saburo

"I'm not trying to rehabilitate you, Dabi. I know you're beyond that, you're too damaged. Society won't forgive you for your crimes of terrorism and mass-murder. You're going to prison, probably for the rest of your life. They won't kill you, that would make you a martyr. They're just gonna let you rot away in a concrete cell until you die and it's entirely your fault. Instead of doing something with your pain, you chose to inflict that pain onto everything else you came into contact with. You've ruined your life, I can't change that. But if you tell me what Enji Todoroki did to you, I can do my best to ensure he goes down with you, and you might do one good thing for the mother and siblings you once cared for." Saburo stated harshly, looking at Dabi from across the room in his chair. "Because I'm not one of those drooling, demented fools who thinks Endeavour is a good person. I know he's a child abuser, I just need your testimony. You said you wanted him to burn with you in hell, even if the charges don't stick, I can make him a social pariah. Nobody will want anything to do with him after this gets out. And perhaps if the courts learn of what happened, I might convince them to give you some leniency."

“Because Touya’s dead! Touya was weak! He burnt to ashes and Dabi had risen from the flames!” He had tried so hard to dissociate himself from his past life.

@bluecremation

Natsuo had managed to find the criminal 'Dabi' and still barely believed it himself. Could this man truly be Touya?

"If you are who you claim, then tell me why- Why didn't you let me know you were still alive? We had a funeral for you and I refused to believe you were dead, I thought maybe you just ran away... But when they found it, I knew that he must have had something to do with it," he admitted, referring to what had been left of his sibling's jaw bone. The only evidence that Touya Todoroki had, indeed, existed before he was proclaimed deceased.

The look in the other man's eyes makes him flinch, like he's being skewered by twin needles filled with venomous bile. Feeling the heat roiling from the flames gathered within palms that were little more than scar tissue, surgical staples, and pieces of grafted skin.

So much rage. So much pain.

"You've never been weak. You're the strongest person I know, Touya. You shouldered so much and I didn't listen. None of us paid enough attention to how badly you were hurting and I just... I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me and I know I don't deserve it, I don't-" he trails off, roughly scrubbing at his eyes with the heel of his right hand.

"- but, right now, I just want my brother back."
