When Shinso went for my pressure point, I dodged it by an inch just in time, causing him to only press down on the side of my neck. I then pretended to fall unconscious, so that he would leave, which gave me the opportunity to go find Eri myself, I don’t need them protecting me. After he left, I went in a different direction than he did, that way I could still make it to Dabi’s house, but also avoid running into Shinso, dad, and papa. As I walk, I start to think of a plan. I would trick Dabi, make him think I’ll go out with him, then when he gives Eri back, I’ll leave and hopefully avoid him and fighting!

I reach Dabi’s house and kick down the door, I don’t really care about his door. “Ok, Dabi, you win, give me Eri and I’ll go-I’ll go out with you,” I sigh, even saying it makes me want to vomit, even if it wasn’t true. Dad, and papa walk in right as I said this causing them to gasp. I ignore their gasps and keep my focus on Dabi, “give Eri back!”

“Nah, I got what I want, now I gotta keep her as leverage,” he grins, wickedly.

I growl and use my quirk, screaming I send a sonic wave towards him, causing him to drop Eri, papa runs and catches Eri before she hits the ground, causing Dabi to growl. “Well Dabi, this was fun, but it was all a trick,” I grin, turning around, only to see a horrified sight. Eri who was in papa’s arms, was now Toga who was grinning up at papa, out of shock he dropped Toga on the ground.

Dabi grins, “did you think we were stupid? We don’t have that girl, someone else does!”

“Tell us where Eri is!” Dad demands, glaring.

“That's no fun now is it?”

“Mic, go get Shinso,” I hear dad whisper. Papa nods and dashes out of the house. While he’s doing that, I jump on Dabi and dad focuses on Toga. “Sonic mania!” I shout, an extra loud sonic wave at Dabi. While he’s distracted, I use this chance to punch him in the face but he catches my fist?

“Fuck,” I mutter, as he throws me into the wall. Groaning, I stand up and run at him again, only to be kicked in the stomach. Blood flies out of my mouth as I send another punch towards his side this time. While I was fighting, I saw dad throw Toga against the wall, waiting to see if she gets back up. I focused my attention back on Dabi, but I heard a sonic wave, tilting my head in confusion, I jumped back to focus on it without fighting as much. As I focused more on it, I realized it was papa trying to send me a message. We’ve developed a morse code out of sonic waves, so we can communicate if we aren’t near each other.

“Shinso and I are on our way back, try to keep them busy but conscious until we get back, pass this message onto Shota.” Papa says through sound waves.

“Got it,” I sent back, before glancing around to see dad breathing heavily leaning up against a wall, and Dabi running straight towards me with his fire! I don’t have time to dodge, so I bring my arms up in front of my face and brace for the impact but it never comes. I look up confused to see Dabi staring at his hands in confusion until he realizes what happened and focuses his attention on dad who had erased his quirk. I look back at dad and realize he’s almost at his limit! I duck under Dabi’s arm and run to dad, “dad!” I exclaim, “are you ok?”

"I'm fine, has Hizashi contacted you yet?"

"He has, he told me to tell you that we need to keep them conscious for a bit, he's on his way back with Shinso now."

Dad sighs and nods, getting ready to fight Dabi since he had Toga down." I take a stance and help dad with Dabi, trying not to knock him out.
