◆Diamond Flower◆Dabi◆Boku no Hero Academia◆

"By the way, Dabi. I'll be prepared if I were you." Dr. Kibou said to Dabi as a word of reminder. 

Dabi did not understand the doctor's words. 

"Shall we go down? Crowding outside the patient's room is not good for their wellbeing. Please come this way." Dr. Kibou lead the way and she lead the other three down one level. 

Dabi was alone and he wondered if he should head inside. 

"My Quirk can heal external injuries, not internal ones." Dr. Kibou was re-doing her hair bun as she spoke to Kurogiri and Mr. Compress from downstairs. Shigaraki was there too, but he was more interested in the various candies that were displayed at the closed shop. 

Dr. Kibou checked her bank account from online banking to see if the payment was made. She smiled kindly when the payment was made. "As for her internal injuries, it includes a badly bruised cervix. She may experience bleeding, spotting, nausea, and back pain. I've given her pain killers to relieve the pain, she should be okay in two days or a week." 

"That Dabi..." Mr. Compress was so angry, he didn't want Michiyo to suffer anymore. "Disgusting...!" He wanted to kill Dabi for what he did, but he knew the League needed him. "Why would little diamond still want to see him?!" 

"I do not know that. I just know she's holding onto that tattered coat. The label in the coat had Dabi written on it." Dr. Kibou's explanation made Shigaraki chuckle.

"Isn't it obvious? Because that girl still sees Dabi as her hero." After hearing much of the story from Kurogiri, Shigaraki was able to determine what kind of person Michiyo was. "In society today, if a hero does one wrong thing, he or she is slandered right away by the media and people start looking at them with indifference if they dirty their status and name. They will just set their admiration on another hero." Shigaraki grabbed a jar that contained colorful candies and he took out a blue one and a pink one. "She is this naive girl who held strong feelings for someone she saw as a hero but what sets her apart from the foolish people out there is the fact she believes in the hero just for her, even if everyone else badly labels him and slander him. She really is pure like a diamond." Shigaraki opened the wrappers and he put both candies into his mouth. "It's stupid, but that stupidity is worth admiring because she is walking on a path everyone wants to deter her from but she is convinced that is the only path for her." 

"Shigaraki Tomura, so you HAVE been listening when I talk..." Kurogiri said to him. 

"Just because I was playing video games at the time, it doesn't mean I wasn't listening. If you ask me, I don't think that girl is suited to be a villain...but she does have some uses. That's why I am not killing her." 

"What?!" Mr. Compress shouted. 

"What? She knows about what Dabi's doing, what the League is doing. After the shit he pulled, killing her makes a lot of sense. Still, given that she sees Dabi as her very own hero, at least I know she will always be loyal to the League of Villains in an indirect way." 

"If you're going to say something irrelevant at this moment, I suggest you don't say it." Kurogiri was really like a dad. He then turned to Dr. Kibou, "Why did you tell Dabi to prepare himself?" 

Dabi was hesitating to open the door. He was holding onto the cold metal of the handle, taking deep breaths. The way he was hesitating to go in mirrored the exact way how Todoroki hesitated to open the door to see his mother. Still, just like Todoroki, Dabi opened the door. 

Michiyo was still holding onto Dabi's coat with the tattered collar and sleeves. She was staring out the window as if she was admiring the beauty of the stars and the moon; there's nothing but a cloudy night sky.
