A Brief Reflection on Hope
One of the most rewarding moments of my life came when my wife started teaching one of my books in her college classroom. It wasn’t something I asked her to do or ever expected. She decided on her own that my short business parable, Endless Encores, was a good fit for her English language learners to be exposed to my particular take on management practices. I can’t well enough convey the joy I…

Get Outdoors at Lake of The Ozarks!
The Lake of the Ozarks is a beautiful place located in the midst of the Ozark hills. With 54,000 acres and approximately 1,150 acres of shoreline, there is a lot of space to cover! On a hosted trip I was able to get outdoors and enjoy the wonders of Lake, the resorts, dining and attractions that have made this area voted the “Best Recreational Lake in the Nation” by USA Today readers. My friend…

In terms of ugly Vegas hotels, Ballys might be covered in an ugly mall with a side of 70s, but the soulless appearance of Aria and Cosmopolitan deal infinitely more psychic damage. I look at them and feel my soul wither at how bland and soullessly modern they are. Even the interior of Aria made me nope out of there without fully exploring (Cosmo it at least slightly less bad)
#Luxor is the most aesthetic though#I like the bronze and butterflies and flowers of wynn/encore but I like the mysterious black pyramid with weird elevators and balconies mor#resorts world at least has colored glass that’s fairly pretty#I like the various metallic colored glass looks

Can I please have Yandere Aalto x reade headcanon?
Yandere Aalto Headcanons
A/N; Hiya, I'm super glad you asked for Aalto HCs because I love this character so much. The duo of him and Encore is just chefs kiss. But sidenote, apologies for taking like over a week to upload this. Thanks for your request! Also I may add to this later.
Warnings: Blackmail, manipulation, non-consensual relationship, NSFW HCs (There will be a warning before), Praise, degradation, possessiveness, isolation. UNEDDITED
Let me know if I missed any warnings :)
Aalto knows everything about you, of course, he is the best information broker around so it'd be shameful for him to not know every detail of your life when you're all he cares about (except for Encore).
He gets to know your family before you even realize. Building a strong connection to your family saying how Aalto is so sweet and considerate for giving them all sorts of information ranging from how best to take care of a plant to the best pharmaceutical advice when it comes to their health issues. And all he would ask for in return from them is some details about you, like your favorite flower or meal. Once he got closer with your loved ones, he'd start asking for a meal to share with him and Encore which leads into him being invited fairly often to family dinners and get togethers.
Your family would also bring up how adorable his relationship with Encore is, he'd make a great father one day wouldn't he? Make such a great spouse. He could take care of you because have you heard how much money he makes from some of his deals? Aalto this, Aalto that, Aalto would be on your mind and he would never leave it. Just like he wanted.
But if your family trying to get the two of you together doesn't work then he'll use his backup plan, blackmail you. Any information about you that's dark and humiliating enough to ruin your career and connection with your loved ones is ready for him to use against you. He didn't want to resort to this, but you just wouldn't listen to your family about how perfect he is. But he does find the look of pure embarrassment and fear on your face as he reveals what he knows, oh you're so cute. The way tears brim the corners of your eyes, pupils dilate and cheeks flush, its so adorable that he pulls you right into his arms, petting your hair and whispering how it's better this way. Besides it's not like you can pull away, that would be violating your agreement and Aalto doesn't take kindly to that.
The overall agreement he makes with you is that you become his loving, loyal and affectionate partner. But never tell anyone about this deal, otherwise all of your secrets will be revealed. And of course, you agreed to this because being his partner can't be bad right?
The relationship would start off sweet and cute, one that many other couples would adore and envy. He'd be such a gentleman, get along well with your family, take you on the most memorable of dates with gorgeous views and delicious food. He knows all the best spots. Whenever he'd return home from a job, he'd bring you flowers or another gift he'd get as payment from one of his clients. He wouldn't push you into being physically affectionate with him until you were ready, only asking for kisses after dates and handholding. He wanted you to be affectionate with him on your own terms, to kiss him or let him hold you because you wanted to. Because you felt the desire for him. However, he'd pull you into a hug and pepper kisses on your face and hand whenever he couldn't help himself. He'd wait for you to give him affection but he can hardly restrain himself when he could finally call you his. And bonus, Encore is always fun to have around and he'd adore how well you two would get along although he'd get a little jealous if Encore is stealing all your attention. Frequently, the two would get into playful fights over who gets to spend time with you. And more often than not, Encore would win to Aalto's demise.
But as time passes, Aalto would start to isolate you. He'd cancel plans with your family, acting like its your fault and he has to take care of you so he seems like the kindest significant other. That family dinner you were supposed to go to on Friday? Oh sorry, you can't make it because you're feeling ill, but in reality you were perfectly healthy. He'd do this so much that your family stops inviting the two of you to meetings and meals so it's just the two of you more often. He'd even do this with your friends.
If anyone got suspicious of this new behavior of yours then Aalto would either flash his charming smile and send them right on their way or blackmail them too. Afterall, you can get people to do whatever you want with the right information.
You stay inside almost all of the time because Aalto fears the thought of you getting hurt by a TD or some bandit, and he wants to be the only one to see you. To be with you. (of course with exception of Encore.) It's just better this way. You're safe and have everything within your home, at least to everything you could reach. Oh, you didn't think he would simply just trust you wouldn't leave the house when he's gone, did you? He's not stupid. Which is why you have a chain on your ankle attached to the floor. The chain is long enough so you can access every place you need in the house such as the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and another room you use for your hobbies. If Encore asks about the chain then Aalto would be honest, it's for your safety. You can't protect yourself from the big scary world and you're just so naive that you'd wonder out by yourself.
While Aalto would prefer for you to stay home where it's safe, he'd still take you out on dates or even just to play outside with Encore. But you would never leave his sight.
----NSFW HC----
Poor man can hardly find time to be alone with you. It's either he has too many demanding clients or Encore is home. So he has to wait until the perfect opportunity arises when he has cleared out his schedule and Encore is gone on a safe mission or hanging out with friends. And this often does come often but not enough for his liking.
He loves to spoil you with expensive and sexy lingerie, bringing home multiple shopping bags just full of different sets. He would spend most of his money on spoiling you but then make up for it by taking extra jobs. He'd even buy several of the same set but in different colors. He would be adoring you and praising you for putting on a little fashion show for him as you try on each set he bought you. You wouldn't even finish the show for him because he'd have you go back and put back on lingerie you've already shown him over and over again. "The blue brings out your eyes but try on the red one again, I think that really brings out your...assets." Then when you wear one he claims as his favorite (mans has like fifty favorites), fashion show is cut off early because he throws you onto the bed and sees how you look in different positions with it.
Aalto has a breeding kink in the sense he has a primal and possessive urge to fill you and possess you by filling you to the brim with his seed. He loves the thought of seeing your belly swell up with his kid. But he doesn't want kids yet.
He loves the thought of it but he doesn't want it to actually happen. At least not yet. He already has a responsibility for Encore and she steals so much of your attention that if another kid were added to the mix then he would never have time alone for you. Note, he classifies as spending one whole day alone with you as hardly any time with you. Maybe in future when Encore is older or he has so much money that he doesn't have to focus on his job anymore.
He loves to mark you up with love bites and hickies. He mostly does this right before the two of you go on a date, making them in the most visible places possible. He'd make it a point to mark your neck down to your collarbone and even add one or two to your chest/breasts if you wore an outfit that showed off that area. If you wore a skirt he'd mark up your thighs too, fighting with his urges to go down on you while doing so. He'd smirk at whatever passerby noticed the marks on your body, absolutely reveling as it was so obvious you're his despite your possible grievances with this.
He can not make up his mind on whether or not he wants to praise or degrade you. He'd go from calling you his good girl to his naughty slut within a span of thirty seconds.

Grand Festival : Reprise
Second, but final set of Grandfest drawings… there was initially going to be three but I figured I should move on to making other things. So lets have Leonard and Seymour for an encore.
The resort was invited to help sort out event planning, so Leonard was invited to bring in frequent performers from the resort, as well as to set up a temporary bar for Seymour to work at.
Figured I’d share the reasons for their teams as well…
Leonard chose Team Past because he figures he’s… well past his prime. So what if he still gets chicks on his lap while nearing the age of 50… he thinks his life has been thrown off rails ever since the resort was placed in his fins.
Seymour chose Team present for the simple reason of knowing he can’t change the past, but he also can’t see the future. Living in the moment is important to him, and as much as he enjoys hearing past stories from customers, or hearing about their future aspirations, he sees them as the person they are at the moment.
Thanks for being here to read my semi-rambly Grandfest posts haha, I’m still emotional about it.

More than 50,000 service industry workers in Las Vegas voted on Tuesday, September 26, to authorize a strike that could impact 22 casino resorts on the Strip — which means bartenders, cooks, cocktail and food servers, guest room attendants, porters, bellmen, laundry, and kitchen workers statewide could hit the picket line at any time. The Culinary Workers Union Local 226, one of the largest and most powerful unions in the country, represents 60,000 workers across Nevada. 53,000 members are based in Las Vegas and are in active negotiations with casino and hotel employers for a new five-year contract. As of September 15, roughly 40,000 workers employed by the three largest gaming employers in the state — MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Encore Resorts — are working under an expired contract.

“Never in a million fucking years did I think I would play here,” an overwhelmed Louis Tomlinson told a sold-out crowd at London’s legendary O2 Arena last night (November 17) during his “Faith In The Future World Tour.”
A lot of people probably felt the same some years ago. If you had asked your average music fan around the time of One Direction’s hiatus if Tomlinson would be able to fill all 20,000 seats at the famous arena, they’d have probably placed a bet on other members. Tomlinson? Not a chance.
Well, this is where the Doncaster-born star has proven critics and music snobs wrong and shown that he is the underdog, once again. Following the release of his No. 1 sophomore album, Faith In The Future, released last November, the 31-year-old has spent a good portion of 2023 on a world tour, performing in venues where nosebleed seats exist.
Tomlinson’s ongoing success cannot simply be credited to the fact that he was one-fifth one of the biggest boy bands of all time. While, yes, those fans he first gained over 10 years ago still remain in support of him, it’s clear that his following have a personal connection to his own music outside of One Direction. This is particularly evident when he’s performing on stage. Throughout his 21-song set, screams and tears filled the venue as if each song was a monster hit. His fans knew the words to every song and you could see how much his music meant to them.
Opening with the loud drums of “The Greatest,” Tomlinson’s show was one ball of energy from start to finish. Personal highlights: “Kill My Mind,” “Drag Me Down,” his cover of the Arctic Monkeys song “505,” “Written All Over Your Face,” (HOW WAS THIS NOT A SINGLE?!), and his rocky rendition of the 2017 single “Back To You.” My only critique: “That’s The Way Love Goes” was nowhere to be heard 🙁
Giving full credit to his fans for making everything in his career possible, Tomlinson’s sincere and humble demeanor shined every time he spoke to the audience. It’s evident that his humanity plays a big part in his fans coming back for more. Their mutual respect for one another is transparent, and that was wholesome to see.
Wrapping up the European leg tonight at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena, Tomlinson will kick off 2024 with more shows in Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, to name a few.
Full Setlist:
“The Greatest”
“Kill My Mind”
“Bigger Than Me”
“Holding on to Heartache”
“Face the Music”
“We Made It”
“Drag Me Down”
“Chicago”
“High in California”
“All This Time”
“She Is Beauty We Are World Class”
“Copy of a Copy of a Copy”
“Walls”
“Written All Over Your Face”
“505” (Arctic Monkeys cover)
“Back to You”
“Angels Fly”
“Out of My System”
Encores
“Saturdays”
“Where Do Broken Hearts Go”
“Silver Tongues”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1: Are We There Yet?
"Again! Encore! Encore!" Toga squeals as "Love Is An Open Door" ends on the Bluetooth speaker for the eighth time.
"NO! IF YOU TWO DON'T STOP SINGING, I'M GONNA PUKE FOR REAL THIS TIME!" Dabi snarls, tightly gripping the seat beneath him as he rolls down the tinted window. Toga and Twice cross their arms in frustration as Toga reluctantly chooses a different Disney song.
"Will you keep it down back there?! I'm trying to concentrate on the road!" Spinner gripes as he hits another pothole, jarring the entire van. They'd managed to hotwire an empty van with enough space to carry everyone and were headed to the "Art of Animation" resort. Toga and Twice picked it out, but everyone got to choose which section they wanted to stay in and who they wanted to room with.
"C'mon, Dabi. Where's your Disney spirit?" Hawks chides, punching him in the shoulder. His teasing stare is met with a cold glare from his boyfriend, and he shrinks back into the seat next to Dabi. Dabi, Hawks, and Mr. Compress are all packed together in the backseat while Toga, Twice, and Shigaraki sit in the middle seats of the van. Shigaraki is too absorbed in his Nintendo Switch to be bothered by their singing. Kurogiri rides shotgun while Spinner hastily drives through the busy streets.
"Of all the times of the year. I wasn't expecting spring to be so damn crowded," The lizard gripes as he screeches the vehicle to a stop. Dabi shuts his eyes and shoves his earbuds in his ears as Mr. Compress pulls up the room numbers on his phone.
"You're just lucky that we all brought masks to wear so it'll be harder to recognize us. If everyone behaves accordingly, we should be able to have an enjoyable trip without getting arrested. This is why we're at Disney World and not Tokyo Disneyland. We have less of a chance to be discovered here. I doubt they even pay attention to what goes on in our news," Kurogiri remarks as he opens up his paper map that leads to the hotel.
"Why didn't you just warp us there?" Dabi snarls, and Kurogiri turns back to look at him.
"All for One said we aren't allowed to use our Quirks here. That was the condition. If we use our Quirks, we're more likely to be discovered," Kurogiri explains.
"Oh, like Birdbrain isn't going to be obvious?" Dabi snarls, turning up the volume on his phone to drown everyone out as he closes his eyes.
"Pfft. They don't know about the Number Two Hero, here. All they know is All Might and Endeavor," Compress comments.
"Hey, I have a following in America!" Hawks huffs, and his wings ruffle, getting in Compress and Dabi's faces. They both promptly shove his wings out of the way.
"How much longer? I wanna finish this level before we get out of the car," Shigaraki pipes up, and Spinner checks his GPS.
"Ten minutes," Spinner answers as he revs the engine.
"Speedrunnnn," Shigaraki mumbles under his breath as he starts erratically mashing buttons.
...
"OH MY GOD WE'RE HERE!!!!" Toga squeals as Spinner turns past the Art of Animation sign. Her scream jolts Dabi awake, who realizes that Hawks fell asleep on him. He reflexively pushes him off, and Hawks yawns before blinking awake.
"Fake ID's ready?" Kurogiri asks to the general crowd, and everyone nods. Toga unzips the pink backpack at her feet and pulls out a set of Minnie Mouse ears that she slaps onto her head, awkwardly pushing back her space buns. Spinner swerves into a parking space and jumps out of the car before popping the trunk open.
"Everybody OUT!" The lizard orders, and everyone scrambles out of the car. Spinner pulls his brown hiker backpack over his shoulders as Kurogiri grabs a singular black suitcase from the trunk.
"Move!" Shigaraki grips as he snatches a Spider-Man backpack from the top of the pile and carefully places his Switch inside it. Twice grabs one black and one pink duffel and hands Toga a glittering pink tote bag while Compress takes his modest brown briefcase from the side compartment. Finally, Dabi reaches to pull his purple rolling suitcase when he notices the number of remaining bags in the car.
"Dude. I told you to pack light," He growls as Hawks nervously walks to the trunk.
"I did!" He insists as he grabs the final three giant red duffels. Dabi takes out one of his earbuds and tucks it in his T-shirt before pulling up his hood. Spinner unceremoniously slams the trunk shut before the group makes their way to the colorful building to check in.
...
"Did everyone get checked in okay?" Kurogiri asks as he does a headcount. The rag-tag bunch is crowded in front of the gigantic "Nemo" themed pool. Toga stares at the giant turtle statue with an awestruck expression, and Twice dances from foot to foot next to her.
"Alrighty. Toga, Twice, Compress, you three will be staying in 'Finding Nemo' suite. Toga gets dibs on the master bedroom so she can have her privacy. You two will have to fight over who sleeps on the sofa bed or the table bed," Kurogiri explains as he gives out their Magic Bands.
"OH! I WANNA SLEEP ON A TABLE! No, the sofa is definitely the better option," Twice argues with himself as Kurogiri walks towards Hawks and Dabi. He pulls out Dabi's other earbud, which makes him snap to attention, and a thin curl of smoke rises out of his ear.
"You two. 'The Lion King' Suite. Do whatever you want, I don't care. Just please don't be too troublesome," Kurogiri sighs as he hands the bands to Hawks. Dabi sniffs as he takes the black magic band from Hawks before helping him put on his red one.
"That leaves Spinner and Shigaraki. You'll be staying with me in the 'Cars' area," Kurogiri drones as Shigaraki starts jumping up and down.
"DO I GET TO MEET THE LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!" Shigaraki cackles excitedly as he pulls on both of his protective gloves.
"Wow, didn't know our fearless leader was some car's biggest fan," Dabi snickers, and Shigaraki shoots him an indignant look.
"Lightning McQueen is not 'some car'! He's a legend!" Shigaraki snaps.
"You know it's just a movie right? He's just computer code," Spinner comments, only for Shigaraki to kick him in the shin.
"Hey! No fighting! This is going to be a nice bonding experience! Now everyone get unpacked and we'll meet up for dinner at the cafeteria. We're waiting to go to any parks until tomorrow. I was able to book us a full week here," The wispy man clarifies before the three groups split off.
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Jungle
"Did you pack everything you own, Featherhead?" Dabi growls as he drags his rolling suitcase down the walkway leading to "The Lion King" area.
"Of course not," Hawks retorts as he grapples with his duffels. The sun sets over the resort as the two walk side by side, dodging sprinting toddlers in swim trunks as their parents try to corral them toward the "Nemo" swimming pool.
"OOOOH! Dabi, look it's Mufasa!" Hawks gasps as he points to the giant lion statue that looks out over the Pride Rock structure. Dabi, however, doesn't hear him as he already put his earbuds back in. He walks a few feet away before he realizes Hawks is no longer by his side. Dabi's eyes narrow as he turns around to see Hawks taking a selfie with the statue.
"Hawks!" He growls, gripping the handle of his luggage tighter as he leers at him from under his sunglasses. Hawks' smile fades as he slowly puts his phone back in his pocket and skips back to Dabi's side. The two walk past an archway with Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa, past the towering green, "forested" buildings towards the Elephant Graveyard.
"Ughhhh, why are we close to all the bad guys," Hawks groans, "I wanted to be near the Hakuna Matata section."
"I like the hyenas, jackass," Dabi snaps, taking out an earbud so he doesn't lose the feathered hero again. "All I want is just two minutes. Of uninterrupted punk music. Just two fucking minutes," He growls under his breath as they walk behind the giant replica of the Elephant Graveyard and the three laughing hyenas. They walk up to the automatic doors and are immediately hit with AC and the smell of fresh linens.
"Third floor. Perfect view of the graveyard at night. I think Toga said it glows red in the cave," Dabi mutters as they strut to the elevator. Hawks struggles to shove all of his bags in as Dabi awkwardly positions himself next to the buttons and pushes the number three.
Ding!
The elevator doors open, and Dabi roughly pushes Hawks out of the cramped elevator.
"Hey!" Hawks grumbles as Dabi struts down the hallway, following the pawprint pattern on the carpeting until they reach their room. Dabi holds his black Magic Band up to the gray sensor above the door handle, and the light flashes from red to green as a resounding click sounds from the door.
"Home sweet home," Dabi sighs as he opens the door, and Hawks follows him inside. Hawks' eyes widen as he takes in all of the references to the Disney movie as Dabi heads toward the bedroom. The small living room has stools with lyrics on them, and a table bed with a picture of Simba inside rests just to the left across from a small bathroom. Dabi throws his suitcase on the Queen bed in the bedroom and unzips it, getting out his leather jacket and various band T-shirts as he pulls open one of the drawers on the dresser. Hawks hefts his duffel bags into the room and grunts as he sets them on the ground.
"So, am I...I...sleeping on the pull-out couch?" Hawks stammers, and Dabi raises his eyebrow as he looks over his shoulder.
"Do you want to sleep on the pull-out couch?" Dabi says flatly, and Hawks vigorously shakes his head.
"I thought it was implied that we'd both be sleeping in here," Dabi shrugs as he hangs up his jacket in the closet.
"Just making sure," Hawks smiles, clapping his hands together before he starts unzipping his bags. The scarred villains yawns as he falls backward flat onto the bed, stretching out and putting his hands behind his head.
"You gonna be okay not using your Quirk for a week?" Hawks pries as he starts putting his clothes away in the closet.
"It'll be a relief. Less pain," Dabi mumbles, closing his eyes as he waits for Hawks to finish unpacking.
"Why do you feel pain exactly when you use your Qu-" Hawks starts as he puts away his last athletic shirt.
"What did I tell you about asking me that," Dabi snaps, getting off the bed and walking up behind Hawks.
"Sorry," Hawks mumbles as he turns around and comes face to face with his boyfriend. Dabi pulls down his black mask and suddenly grabs Hawks' chin before roughly kissing him. Hawks' wings flutter, but Dabi ends it almost as quickly as he started.
"Let's get going. I don't feel like getting bitched at by Handjob," Dabi says as he pulls his mask back up over his nose to hide his scars and slides his sunglasses back on. Hawks swallows hard and nods as Dabi walks out of the bedroom, and he swiftly follows him, a few feathers floating to the ground behind the Pro Hero.
Chapter 3: Under the "Frozen" Sea
"Alllllrighty! That's the last of my Disney ears! Twiiiiiice! Did you bring all our pins?" Toga calls as she finishes arranging her various themed ear headbands on her dresser.
"Yup! Right here, Toga!" Twice beams as he brandishes a box full of enamel Disney pins from his black duffel. It makes a terrible jingling noise from all of the collectibles sliding against one another, and Compress cringes. "I'll put them on the little green seats by the sofa bed!" He calls to her as Toga digs through her duffel bag to hang up her outfits.
"Hey, Twice. You know that movie you and Toga love so much?" Compress pipes up as he sits down in the corner chair, scrolling through articles on his phone.
"Encanto?" Twice raises his eyebrow, and Compress shakes his head.
"Brave?" Twice asks again, but Compress waves his hand.
"No, no. It's that one. The one that you were singing in the car all the way down here," He snaps his fingers, trying to remember the name.
"Frozen!!" Twice exclaims, jumping up and down, and Compress nods.
"Yeah, there's actually some pretty interesting theories around it," Compress drones as Toga eavesdrops on the two of them from the bedroom.
"Theories?" Twice jumps onto the table-bed and puts his chin in his hands, eagerly listening.
"Yes, theories. As in, some believe that Walt Disney himself has been frozen somewhere underneath the park! There's some secret vault that conspiracy theorists believe to contain his frozen head!" Compress says as Twice encourages him to continue. Toga's heart skips. She loved blood, but she hated creepy stories. She continues listening intently as she unpacks her makeup and puts it on her bathroom counter.
"A frozen head! That's crazy! No way that's real! It sounds believable to me!" Twice drones in his dual banter as Compress continues his conspiratorial tirade.
"People say that the reason it's named frozen is so, if you Google 'Disney's Frozen' or anything like that, the rumors regarding the vault and head won't pop up! Instead, your feed will be filled with that lovely movie!" Compress's eyes widen as he continues, and Twice gasps.
"Holy shit! That's so cool! Creeeeeepy!" The morph-suited man laughs nervously as his head twitches back and forth. A chill runs down Toga's spine, and she anxiously scratches her elbow.
'So much for sleeping tonight... Ugh... All I can think about is that creepy guy's icy dead head, now...' She thinks to herself as she cringes, shoving her hair ties into a drawer. She pulls her phone out and opens up her text messages with Dabi. Toga starts typing as Compress begins describing the rumored vault and powerful figures behind the conspiracy in detail.
Toga: Dabssssss. Compress & Twice are being suuuuuper creepy.
Immediately, Dabi starts typing.
Dabi: Pedo creepy?
Toga groans, moving her fingers as fast as she can.
Toga: NO! Like scary creepy. Scary stories creepy.
Dabi: Toga. You sleep with a knife under your pillow.
Toga: I can't use it if I'm asleep and exposed. I'm sleeping in a room by myself.
Dabi: They're literally right outside your room. You'll be fine.
Toga: Can I crash with u and Hawks tonight?
Dabi leaves her message on read, and Toga sighs, shoving her phone back into the pocket of her navy skirt. She tries to ignore Twice and Compress's excited voices, but all she can think about is Walt Disney's open eyes staring at her through an ice block in some steel chamber. She grabs one of her eyeshadow brushes from her makeup bag and grabs one of her red eyeshadow palettes.
"Don't ruin my favorite movie, dumb magician," She gripes under her breath as she reapplies the sweeping red smoky eye to her face.
Ding!
Toga pulls out her phone and sets her brush and palette on the countertop. It's a message from Dabi.
Dabi: Are you guys coming? Hawks and I are the only ones here. He's trying to drag me into the gift shop. SOS
Toga gasps.
"TWICE THERE'S A GIFT SHOP!!!!!!!" She screams at the top of her lungs, shattering the men's conversation.
"WHAT?! No, we can't spend any money. LET'S BUY EVERYTHING!" Twice's voice pitches up and down as his attention is completely torn away from Compress.
Ding!
Birdman: Dabi won't let me get anything. If you and Twice get over here we can overpower him. I'll buy you cotton candy at Magic Kingdom.
A blissful smile spreads across Toga's face as she darts out of the bathroom.
"Hawks is buying me cotton candy, let's go!" She giggles as she grabs her pink Magic Band and promptly runs out of the ocean-themed suite. Compress sighs as he watches Twice sprint out of the door after her. The magician grabs his cane and slowly follows them, deciding to hold off on the conspiracy rants for the time being.
Chapter 4: KACHOW!
"WHAT?! THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!" Shigaraki screeches as he stands in front of the statue of Lightning McQueen and Sally from Disney's Cars.
"Tomura, surely you didn't expect him to talk to you. It's just decoration for the theme," Spinner sighs, putting his hand on his boss's shoulder.
"Well...they...they have other characters in the parks that you get to meet and talk to. I thought I could get his autograph or something," Shigaraki frowns dejectedly, adjusting the hand on his face.
"I believe there's an attraction in the Hollywood Studios park where he actually talks. Perhaps that would be of interest. Now, come along," Kurogiri says before leading the two villains into the building marked "Cozy Cone Motel". Shigaraki mutters under his breath as he fidgets with his protective gloves. Kurogiri touches his silver Magic Band to the gray bar above the door, and the green light flashes, allowing them inside. Shigaraki's eyes widen as they enter the Cars themed room, and he removes the hand from his face in awe.
"Woooow. It's like we're in the movie!" He beams, and Spinner shakes his head, trying to hide the smile on his face. Spinner finds it odd that their boss acts like a child; something must've happened in his childhood for him to remain in such an immature state. Tomura was the second youngest in the group, only older than Toga. The only thing that made sense for him to lead was his Quirk. He runs up to the table and pulls the bed down, revealing a picture of Tow Mater.
"I CALL THIS ONE!" He squeals excitedly as he throws his Spider-Man backpack onto it. Kurogiri moves toward the main bedroom and begins to unpack his things while Spinner starts unfolding the pull-out couch bed.
"Oooooh! Spinner! Wanna stay up all night watching movies!" The crusty villain says excitedly, clapping his hands together.
"No. Everyone has to be in bed tonight at a reasonable time so we can get up early tomorrow," Kurogiri orders, and Shigaraki whines.
"Who made you the boss?" He snaps.
"All for One," Kurogiri retorts calmly, and Shigaraki shuts up.
Spinner slams his hiking pack on the bed with a resounding creak and unzips it. He calmly slides a katana out of the backpack (that looks like it definitely shouldn't have fit) and slides it under his pillow.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Shigaraki points out, but Spinner just shrugs.
"Haven't died yet," The gecko smirks, and Shigaraki shakes his head as he pulls out his Nintendo Switch and plugs it into the nightstand by his bed.
"I guess I have to wear these stupid things the entire trip," Shigaraki growls as he scratches at the protective gloves. They were specially made to sensor his Quirk, allowing him to freely touch things.
"Will it really be so bad to actually wear them? Hell, you can boop doggos on the snoot now," Spinner laughs, and Shigaraki cringes.
"Never say that again. You're too old," Shigaraki snarls.
"I'm only one year older than you," Spinner mutters under his breath.
"Alright, you two. Let's meet up with everyone else. There's a large cafeteria where we can get food," Kurogiri says excitedly as he walks out of the bedroom and opens the suite door.
Chapter 5: Be Our Guest
"I miss the bar," Dabi growls as he finishes off the bottle of ginger ale.
"Awwww, is someone being nostalgic," Hawks teases, and Dabi pulls his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose to glare at him.
"No. I want alcohol," He snaps, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Hawks rolls his eyes and puts his head down on the table dejectedly, taking a bite out of his last chicken tender.
"Can we go to the gift show, now?" Hawks begs, and Dabi shakes his head.
"HEYYYYYYYYY!" Toga's squeal is audible over the blaring DisneyMania music as she skips over to their table. She's holding a souvenir cup full of pink lemonade in one hand and a plate of chocolate crepes in another.
"Togaaa! Wait up!" Twice calls after her, holding a tray both of his and Compress's food as the masked magician follows closely behind.
"Toga, you're gonna be up all night with all that sugar," Dabi sighs as she slams the plate down in the booth on the other side of him.
"Whatever, you're not the boss of me," She sticks her tongue out at him before she starts scarfing it down.
"Good luck," Dabi smirks at Compress as he sits across from Hawks at the big round table. The older magician sighs and shakes his head as he takes off his top hat.
"There you idiots are," Shigaraki calls as he, Spinner, and Kurogiri spot the rag-tag bunch. Once everyone gets settled at the table, Kurogiri unfolds a paper from his pocket and places it in the center.
"Alright, so. Tomorrow, we're going to Magic Kingdo-" The wispy man starts.
"OH MY GOD YAY!!!!!!!!" Toga squeals, squirming in her seat.
Kurogiri clears his throat before continuing, "Yes. Magic Kingdom. Then, Tuesday, we're going to Animal Kingdom. Wednesday is EPCOT. Thursday is Hollywood Studios. Friday is back to Magic Kingdom. Saturday we can go to any of the waterparks, and then Sunday we're flying back to Japan."
"Cool. So is there gonna be a designated buddy system or something?" Shigaraki yawns, sipping out of his twisty straw. Kurogiri shrugs.
"No one should be by themselves at any given time," Kurogiri explains.
"Well, I guess Dabi will be attached to his pretty little pro the entire time, huh," Shigaraki sneers, looking at Dabi and expecting a witty comeback.
Dabi starts muttering lyrics under his breath and stares off into space, completely zoning out as Shigaraki speaks to him.
"Hey! Burn victim! I'm talking to you, Hot Topic!" Shigaraki starts snapping aggressively in Dabi's face, but he doesn't even flinch. Toga cups her hand to her ear and listens to the music playing in the cafeteria before her eyes widen and she nods.
"Yeah, you're not gonna get anything out of him until this is over. It's 'Surface Pressure' from Encanto," Toga shrugs before sipping her pink lemonade.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Spinner huffs.
"Did you not pay attention to him when that scene was playing? Dabi was totally going through some kind of connection or weird awakening with that song. It's no wonder he never talks about his family if he relates to it," Toga explains ambivalently.
"I know how to snap him out of it," Hawks smirks before sticking his finger in his mouth and pulling it out. Toga cringes as Hawks suddenly jams his finger in Dabi's ear.
"AGH! WHAT THE FUCK! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Dabi suddenly screams, grabbing Hawks by the throat and shoving him into the booth. Toga giggles psychotically and claps; Kurogiri looks around nervously, making sure they aren't drawing too much attention to themselves.
"Sorry," Hawks gargles as Dabi squeezes his throat, his eyes burning into the winged Hero.
"Calm down, guys! BEAT HIS ASS, BRO!" Twice's dual-toned banter sounds off. Dabi's lip curls as he slowly lets Hawks free, and the hero promptly goes into a coughing fit, rubbing his neck.
"Okay. Everyone settle down. Please," Kurogiri pleads, and Dabi straightens up.
"Sorry," He mutters sarcastically.
...
Everyone else has already retreated to their rooms, but Hawks, Twice, and Toga are still running giddily through the gift shop.
"Ooooooh! Look at these, Twice!" Toga trills as she picks up a professional drawing of Merida fighting Mor'du.
"Oh to be a princess fighting a bear!" Twice sighs as Hawks comes up behind them in oversized Minnie Mouse sunglasses and a Powerline bomber jacket.
"Do you think Dabi's gonna be mad?" He says sheepishly, showing off the yellow fake leather.
"Na. He'll probably just say you look like a highlighter," Toga shakes her head as she runs over to more Disney Princess merch.
"I didn't know you liked A Goofy Movie," Twice remarks, and Hawks smiles.
"Oh heck yeah, bro. Dabs and I watch it all the time. Don't tell him I told you this, but he knows every word to 'Stand Out' and 'Eye to Eye'," Hawks winks as his voice gets more hushed, and Twice snickers. Toga returns with a sweatshirt that says "Let It Go!" on the front.
"Okay, let's get out of here!" She smiles as she skips to the checkout line.
Chapter 6: Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Dabi and Hawks both freeze mid-kiss as Toga bangs on the door of their suite, her face drenched in tears.
“Who the hell is that?!” Hawks whispers, panicked.
“No idea. Stay here,” Dabi reluctantly growls as he pulls away from his boyfriend and releases his grip on his shoulders. He pulls on his gray boxers and tattered navy sweatpants before walking to the door. Upon looking through the peephole, he sees Toga intensely pounding on the door in her Lilo and Stitch pajamas. Dabi groans before he cracks the door open.
“What do you want Tog-” He starts, but his voice catches in his throat when he sees the tears streaming down her face.
“I’m sorry I know you and Hawks wanted alone time which is why you’re all the way over here but I had a really REALLY bad nightmare and Compress and Twice won’t stop talking about the frozen Disney head and can I just sleep in here tonight?!?!?!?!?” Toga rambles in a single breath as she frantically wipes her tears away. Dabi’s harsh expression softens and he rubs the back of his neck.
“Uhhhhh,” He mutters, staring at the floor to think.
“Please?” Toga sniffs, making the best “puppy dog” expression she can manage. Dabi sighs and mutters something under his breath before dragging his hand down his face in exasperation.
“One second. I’ll be right back,” He says before slowly shutting the door and walking back to the bedroom.
“It’s Toga,” Dabi mutters, his eyebrows furrowing as he stands in the doorway, leaning against the frame.
“Is she okay?” Hawks raises his eyebrow as he covers himself with the comforter.
“She…she needs to stay with us tonight. Bad dream. The guys aren’t helping,” Dabi explains as he walks in the room and jerks open a drawer.
“Guess that means we’re putting this on pause,” Hawks mutters, rolling his eyes.
“I’m gonna sleep on the couch so I’m out there with her. She’ll feel safer that way. You cool with sleeping in here by yourself?” Dabi asks as he pulls an old white T-shirt over his head.
“Aw, what? The hell, man?” Hawks pouts, and Dabi just shakes his head.
“This is one night. We have the rest of the week. Once we hit the parks she’ll be too distracted and will completely forget about it. Trust me. And then, I'll be in here with you all night long,” The scarred villain smiles before walking back to the bedside.
“Goodnight,” He whispers before swiftly kissing Hawks on the cheek and then shoving his face away. Hawks mutters dissents under his breath as he rubs the spot where Dabi pushed him, his eyes narrowing as his lover leaves the room and shuts the door behind him.
Dabi takes a deep breath before opening the door again, this time completely wide open.
“Come on,” He says with a tired smile, and Toga darts into the room and immediately leaps onto the table bed. Dabi shuts the door and begins throwing off the couch cushions so he can pull out the foldable bed.
“Oh, you’re not gonna be with Hawks?” Toga says with a hint of relief in her voice.
“If anyone tries to take your head in the night, they’ll have to deal with me first,” Dabi smirks as he turns off the light and climbs into the creaky sofa-bed. Toga smiles to herself as she wraps up in the thin sheets and spare blanket on the small mattress.
“They’d run as soon as they’d see your scary face,” Toga giggles, her fangs glistening in the moonlight flooding through the curtains. Dabi rolls his eyes.
“The last person that said something about my scary face ended up burning in an alley,” He yawns, scratching at the staples on his neck as he lies down.
“Hawks seems to like your face,” Toga points out, and Dabi tries to hide his smile.
“Yeah. Yeah, he does,” He whispers to himself, attempting to get comfortable on the makeshift bed.
“I wish Izuku or Ochaco would like my face,” Toga pouts, sniffing.
“Hey. You have a wonderful face, Himiko Toga. Anyone who tells you otherwise will have a whole league of villains to deal with,” Dabi says encouragingly, cracking his knuckles for emphasis. Toga smiles brightly.
“Thank you. For everything,” She whispers.
“Of course, sis,” Dabi yawns absentmindedly as he drifts off to sleep.
…
“Hey, Dabi?”
Silence.
“Dabi?”
More silence.
“PSSST! DABI!” Toga whisper-screams, and the burned man turns to face her.
“ What?! ” He snaps, clearly exhausted. He hated being woken up.
“Do you really think there’s a frozen head under Disney World?” She stammers. “Of course not, Toga. That’s horse shit,” Dabi yawns, rubbing his eyes as he moves to face the wall again.
“Oh. Okay,” She calmly says, and Dabi starts to drift off to sleep again.
“Hey, Dabi?” Toga whispers again. “Toga, go to sleep,” He says flatly, closing his eyes. If he didn’t see her as a younger sister, he would’ve kicked her out by now. It was getting irritating.
“How’d you get your scars?” She pries, curiosity in her tone. Dabi’s eyes snap open, but he says nothing.
“Dabi?” Her voice echoes off the walls, but he remains still as a statue. He holds his tongue and stares into the dark nothingness.
“Guess he fell asleep for real this time,” Toga mutters to herself before snuggling into the blanket and falling into dreams. Dabi, on the other hand, is now struck with insomnia.
‘Great,’ He thinks, ‘Now I’m going to be the one that has a nightmare.’
Chapter 7: Take Small Children By The Hand
BANG! BANG! BANG!“ Fucking shit! ” Dabi gasps as he jolts awake, sitting straight up. His left palm suddenly ignites as someone bangs on the suite door. Hawks bursts through the bedroom door in nothing but bright red boxers and brandishes one of his sword feathers, a half-asleep look on his face. Toga, on the other hand, remains fast asleep in the bed with the pillow on her head. Her mouth hangs open as she snores.
“DABI! HAWKS! OPEN UP! TOGA’S GONE!” Twice’s voice screams through the door. Dabi groans and mutters curses under his breath as he stalks toward the door and jerks it open.
“She’s in here, you crazy bastard. Let the whole resort know she’s missing why don’t ya. Shut the fuck up,” Dabi snaps, pointing toward Toga’s sleeping form. Twice sighs in relief and wipes his forehead with the back of his hand.
“Oh thank God. Compress and I were so worried when we checked on her this morning and saw she was gone,” He whispers, anxiously twiddling his thumbs.
“Well maybe if you morons weren’t creeping her out with your dumb theories, she still woulda been in there,” Dabi seethes under his breath.
“Huh?” Twice cocks his head, not sure if he heard Dabi correctly or not. Dabi just rolls his eyes and slams the door in his face. Hawks groggily puts his feather sword back into his wings, and Dabi just looks him up and down.
“What? Couldn’t put on a pair of pants?” Dabi mocks him, and Hawks’ face turns bright red.
“I-I didn’t know if you were in danger or not,” Hawks stammers, flustered.
“Uh-huh. Okay. Go get dressed,” Dabi snorts before pushing Hawks back into the bedroom and shutting the door. He yawns and stretches, wincing at the stretching staples in his back and abdomen before he goes to the table-bedside.
“Toga. Wake up. We gotta get ready to go. Twice is outside looking for you,” He whispers as he gently shakes her awake. Toga sleepily blinks awake and slowly lifts her head out from under the pillow.
“Morning, Dabiiiii,” She sings, smiling, “No nightmares.”
“Good. Now go with Twice so you can get dressed for the park. I figure you’ll wanna bring your princess headband ear things,” Dabi says softly as he tears the covers off.
“Okay, I’m going. I’m going,” Toga grumbles as she leaps off of the bed and opens the door.
“TOGA! I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE OKAY!” Twice shouts before wrapping her up in a bear hug.
“I’m fine! Sorry that I had to leave last night! Y’all were just being a little too scary for me. I’m excited!!! Let’s go!” She squeals before the two best friends run off skipping arm in arm together. Dabi closes the door and sniffs before walking to the bathroom to shower.
…
After breakfast, the group clamors onto one of the Disney Parks buses to get to the Magic Kingdom.
“Now, we must always stay with a buddy at all times throughout the park. We’ll go to Tomorrowland first after we get a picture in front of the castle,” Kurogiri explains, but only Spinner and Compress are listening. Shigaraki plays his Nintendo Switch while Toga, Twice, and Hawks look out the window. Dabi is half-asleep with his hood and mask pulled up, his earbuds blaring music at such a volume that it’s a wonder he’s even able to sleep.
“OOOH! OOOH! I SEE THE SIGN!” Toga squeals excitedly, grabbing Twice’s arm and shaking it.
“The most magical place on Earth! This is gonna suck,” Twice beams and then gripes, his head twitching back and forth. The bus takes a wide turn, making Dabi smack right into the pole, and he jerks awake. He takes out his earbuds and shoves them in the pockets of his black hoodie before looking out the window.
“Mess him up, Pikachu. Or I swear I’m going to evolve you,” Shigaraki mutters under his breath as he furiously clicks the buttons on his gaming system.
“Shigaraki. You can’t be on that the entire time. If you don’t put it up yourself, I’m going to take it away,” Kurogiri reprimands Tomura. The leader just growls and saves his game before sliding it into Kurogiri’s giant backpack. He was the designated “stuff-holder” for the trip because he was convinced his colleagues would lose everything. They would forget their heads at home if he wouldn’t remind them to put them on their shoulders.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please gather your personal belongings, watch your head and step as you exit, and take small children by the hand,” The bus-speaker sounds, promptly causing Dabi to grab Toga’s hand.
“Hey!” Toga frowns.
“You’re gonna look at me and tell me you’re not a small child?” Dabi teases her, and Toga pouts.
“I know what I am,” She sticks her tongue out at him, and he laughs before standing up. Kurogiri places his hands on Shigaraki’s shoulders to make sure he doesn’t wander off as they all step off the bus.
“Okay. Now, we have to go through the metal detector and the bag check,” Kurogiri mutters as they all begin walking from the bus stops toward the gates of the park.
“The, uh, the what now?” Toga mutters, suddenly nervous.
“Toga. Don’t tell me,” Dabi groans as he lets go of her hand. Hawks sighs.
“Did no one check her?” The winged hero remarks. Kurogiri takes a deep breath and walks up to Toga.
“Himiko. I’m going to warp all your knives away. I have to. We can’t go through the bag check. They’ll be in your room when you get back to the resort,” Kurogiri says authoritatively, and Toga reluctantly complies. The group crowds around the two to shield them from view as Toga gradually hands over all of her weapons to the wispy figure. A full five minutes go by before they’re all gone.
“Alright. Now, to Magic Kingdom!” Compress declares, and the group starts following the giant crowds.
Chapter 8: Main Street
“Where’s Dabi?” Twice suddenly asks as the group gathers behind the check area.
“He’s yelling at the cast members and calling them ableist fucks for inquiring about all the surgical staples and metal,” Hawks says flatly as he watches his boyfriend making obscene gestures.
“He’s gonna get us kicked out. Why is he so cranky?” Spinner complains.
“He’s always cranky. That’s his thing,” Shigaraki replies, but Toga shakes her head.
“No, it’s because of me. I don’t think he slept much last night because I kept asking him questions,” Toga admits, scratching her head where the Princess ears are rubbing.
“I’ll go handle it,” Kurogiri sighs as he walks over to the fuming twenty-four-year-old and the nervous cast member. The group watches Kurogiri step between them and relay something to the woman while Dabi holds his tongue, clearly irritated that Kurogiri is talking for him. Whatever he did, it seems to have worked, as the two walk back to the group.
“What did Kurogiri say?” Hawks raises his eyebrow.
“That he’s orchestrating a retreat for troubled individuals. Isn’t entirely a lie. And that I have anger issues. Which also, not entirely a lie,” Dabi growls before shoving one of his earbuds back in.
“I WANNA GO SEE THE CASTLE!” Toga whines, jumping up and down excitedly. “LET’S GO! LET’S GO!” She grabs Twice by the arm and the two begin skipping away.
“Well, shit. We gotta keep up or we’re gonna lose them. Come on,” Dabi sighs as he grabs Hawks’ hand and sprints after them, dragging the startled Pro behind him.
“We’ll meet you guys there!” Spinner calls out as he, Shigaraki, Compress, and Kurogiri stop by the map station.
…
“Alright, smiles on three! One! Two! Three!” The photographer says as he takes the group’s picture in front of the castle on Toga’s phone.
“THANK YOU SO MUCH!” She squeals as she checks the picture quality. "Are you suuuure no one wants to stay and watch the parade?" She pleads hopefully. All the boys groan and shake their heads.
“Is everyone ready to start heading to Tomorrowland?” Kurogiri asks as they start walking toward the bridge of the futuristic land.
“OOOH! OOOH! I wanna ride Astro Orbiter!” Twice jumps up and down, and Toga immediately joins him.
“YES!!!” She squeals in unison.
“Astro Orbiter? That sounds like it could be fun. Whaddya say, Shigaraki?” Spinner elbows him, and the leader just nods.
“Sounds cool. Sure, whatever,” He mutters, and the four of them sprint toward the center of Tomorrowland to stand in line for the red elevator.
“I feel like the Carousel of Progress will be quite thrilling!” Compress declares, and Kurogiri nods.
“I was thinking the exact same thing. You boys care to join us?” Kurogiri motions towards Dabi and Hawks.
“I’d rather eat glass,” Dabi says nonchalantly while Hawks’ eyes dart to the “Buzz Lightyear” ride.
“HOLY SHIT! DABI! LOOK! COMPETITION! OUR FAVORITE! LET’S GO!” Hawks squawks before dragging his boyfriend to the obnoxiously long ride queue.
Chapter 9: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Hawks taps Dabi on the shoulder as he stares at all the bright colors in the ride queue, completely in his own world.
“What?” He groans, turning away from the animatronic Buzz Lightyear to face Hawks.
“Why don’t you hold my hand while we’re in line?” He stammers, anxiously tapping his foot on the ground as he looks back at a couple several feet ahead of them. They’re being over-the-top lovey-dovey and giggling in the line.
“What are you talking about?” Dabi rolls his eyes before following Hawks’ gaze. He snorts and shakes his head.
“Are you ashamed of me or something?” Hawks pouts.
“Of course not, idiot,” Dabi retorts, standing up straight instead of leaning on the railing. Now, he’s looking down at Hawks rather than being eye-level, making the hero’s heart race. Dabi’s eyebrows furrow for a minute, and he seems to struggle to find an explanation. “I’m just…not used to being all…romantic or whatever…in public…is all. Are you really jealous of a couple of strangers?”
“Maybe,” Hawks mumbles, and his wings droop as they move forward the next few feet with the line. They’re almost to the room where they’ll get in the cars. Dabi sighs and looks straight ahead, but he can feel his boyfriend’s disappointed gaze.
“Ugh, fuck. Fffffiiine ,” Dabi growls under his breath before abruptly grabbing Hawks’ hand. Hawks makes a high-pitched surprised noise reminiscent of a dog toy squeaker that makes the scarred villain smile beneath his mask.
“You gonna shut up now, Birdbr-” Dabi is cut off by Hawks clinging to his arm like a toddler, almost making him run into the railing. However, the tiny flare of reflexive anger is extinguished when he looks down to see Hawks’ head resting on his shoulder.
“You just couldn’t stop at handholding could you,” Dabi sighs, trying to sound annoyed.
“C’mon, are you really surprised?” Hawks smirks as they reach the cast member.
“Honestly, not even a little bit,” Dabi replies as they dart on the moving sidewalk and hop into the brightly colored.
“Okay, prepare to looooose, burnt bacon bitch,” Hawks teases, cracking his knuckles as the car closes.
“Ohhh I’m gonna destroy you, chicken boy,” Dabi laughs as they both start shooting the targets.
…
“DAMNIT!” Dabi curses as he misses two of the Z targets. He’d managed to hit every single target so far and was practically smoking when his streak was ruined.
“Dabi! There are children!” Hawks scolds him as he continues shooting the fake laser gun.
“WHAT THE FUCK! I HIT THAT!” A parent two cars ahead of them screams, and Dabi looks at Hawks with an amused expression. A flash goes off in Dabi’s peripheral vision, and he spots the fading glowing light of the ride camera as they near the middle of the ride. If Hawks was so upset with him not being over the top with P.D.A., he’d give him exactly what he wanted. Right as they near the spot with the flash, Dabi unhooks one side of his mask, roughly pulls down Hawks’ mask, and kisses him. It was very short, just enough to get it on the camera, and then Dabi immediately pulled both of their masks back on.
Hawks is completely frozen in the seat while Dabi continues shooting the targets.
“Wow, guess I’m gonna win by even more now. You still playing?” He teases.
“I hate you,” Hawks stutters before he grasps the laser gun and frantically tries to aim to catch up again. “You cheated.”
“I’m using my resources ,” Dabi smirks, “Besides, I was several hundred ahead of you, anyway.”
“Whatever,” Hawks mutters, stepping on Dabi’s foot.
“Pfft, you liked it,” Dabi snickers, ignoring the tantrum.
“Shut up,” Hawks says indignantly, trying to be mad and failing miserably.
“Never,” Dabi winks as his score continues to climb miles above his boyfriend’s.
Chapter 10: Astro Orbiter
"This is it? I thought the elevator ride was in Hollywood Studios?" Shigaraki grumbles as he crosses his arms in frustration. The group of four had been waiting in the ride queue for almost an hour now, and everyone but Spinner was growing impatient.
"I've heard you can see the whole park from the top!" Toga squeals excitedly, and Spinner checks the time on his phone as they move up a few more steps.
"The elevator takes us to the ride, boss," Twice beams, and Shigaraki sighs.
"Whatever. I just hate how long we've been standing here," He growls as they approach the cast member.
"How many in your party?" The Disney employee smiles, and Toga holds up four fingers.
"Right this way please," The man says, gesturing to wait in a small enclosed gate before the elevator.
"OOOOOOOH! THIS IS GONNA BE SO FUN!" Toga screams, hugging twice as she jumps up and down.
"It better be," Tomura complains, and Spinner just pats him on the shoulder.
"It'll be fun, Shigaraki. Don't worry," He smiles. The elevator dings, and the doors open. The cast member gestures for the group to head inside, and they all pack into the red elevator. Shigaraki eyes the walls uneasily as the elevator shoots skyward until it comes to a screeching halt. As the doors open, they all step out onto the platform.
"Oh, this looks like that Dumbo ride," Spinner remarks as they all begin to step forward. Shigaraki watches the spinning rockets in awe as the previous rides slowly come back down to Earth. As they disembark, the villains approach the ride. Toga and Twice force themselves into the rocket behind Spinner and Shigaraki.
"There's only one seatbelt?!" Shigaraki exclaims as he digs for one, and Spinner nods.
"Just hold on tight, boss. I won't let ya fall out," He chuckles.
"WOOHOOOO! LET'S GOOOOO!" Toga and Twice scream in unison, laughing as the cast member gives the OK to start the ride. However, as soon as the spinning machine begins to lift into the air, Shigaraki realizes just how high they are above the ground. They have a perfect view of the castle, but everyone in Tomorrowland looks like ants.
"OH MY GOD! GET ME DOWN GET ME DOWN GET ME DOWN!" He screams, but Spinner just smirks and makes the ship ascend higher into the air.
"It's alright boss. It's perfectly safe," He reassures Shigaraki, who is paling quickly beneath the hand on his face.
"FASTER! FASTER!" Toga cries out with glee as Twice makes their rocket erratically go up and down.
"GUYS! I SEE DABI!" Twice shouts as he points far below. Hawks is literally dragging him to one of the face paint stands, and Dabi rolls his eyes as he hands the cast member a bill as Hawks leaps into the chair.
"OH! THERE'S COMPRESS!" Toga waves to their companion down below as he and Kurogiri come out of the Carousel of Progress.
"I DON'T CARE! I WANT DOWN!" The leader screams.
"Shiggy, you ain't gonna last on any of the big rides if you're scared of heights," Spinner rolls his eyes, and Shigaraki glares at him.
"You idiot! It wouldn't be a problem if I was PROPERLY SECURED!" Tomura wails.
"It's completely safe, dude!" Twice calls as the ride slows to a stop, and all of the rockets return to the platform.
Shigaraki scrambles out of the rocket, leaving Spinner to climb out by himself. He sprints to the elevator, ignoring the cast member's reminder to walk for his own safety.
Chapter 11: On Your Marks!
“There you guys are!” Hawks beams as he skips toward Kurogiri and Compress. The side of his face bears Lightning McQueen’s racing number in a gold and red that matches his eyes and wings. Dabi reluctantly trudges behind him, muttering something about overpriced paint jobs.
“Where’s everyone else?” Dabi raises his eyebrow as he looks around. Compress and Kurogiri exchange concerned glances before they hear a sound similar to the stampede from The Lion King. Shigaraki comes barrelling past the ride queue for the red elevator and almost topples Kurogiri as he runs right into him.
“DON’T EVER LET ME RIDE ANYTHING THAT HIGH EVER AGAIN!” He screams, and Dabi tries to hide his laughter as Hawks stares uncomfortably at the situation. Kurogiri’s eyes narrow as Twice, Toga, and Spinner approach the group.
“Found out that Tomura’s scared of heights,” Spinner shrugs, and Compress adjusts his tophat.
“Can we ride something that’s on the ground?!” Shigaraki whines, and Twice immediately points toward Tomorrowland Speedway. “BOSS! BOSS! THERE’S RACING CARS!” Twice excitedly shouts, jumping up and down. Dabi and Hawks exchange competitive smirks.
“Gonna try to make up for your crushing defeat at Buzz Lightyear?” Dabi teases, and Hawks’ feathers ruffle.
“Eat my dust, bitch!” He laughs as he and Twice make a break for the line.
“HEY! WAIT FOR ME!” Toga squeals as she sprints after them.
…
The entire League is in line for the racecars, and Shigaraki and Twice can hardly contain their excitement.
“The track seems kinda short,” Spinner complains, but no one else pays any attention.
“Guys! Guys! It’s our turn!” Toga beams excitedly as everyone piles into their own cars.
“All right racers start your engines!” The cast member calls, and the ride suddenly roars to life. As soon as the green light shines, everyone slams on the gas pedals…only to discover that the cars don’t max out. The League members coast along on the track.
“WOOHOOO! THIS IS SO FUN!” Shigaraki and Twice yell, clearly the only ones having the time of their lives.
WHAM!Dabi turns around in the seat to see Hawks slamming into his vehicle with a triumphant grin on his face.
“OOOH! I WANNA CRASH INTO DABI, TOO!” Toga screams from the car beside him.
“Toga, I swear !” The scarred villain growls, but Toga whips her steering wheel to the side, only to stop moments before side-swiping Dabi.
“Aw, man! They’re on rail tracks! No fair!” She pouts, and Dabi slams on the gas pedal, trying to get away from them.
“I do rather enjoy this one,” Compress says to no one in particular as he and Kurogiri take the lead, nearing the finish line.
Chapter 12: Space Adventure! It's An Adventure In Spaaaace!
"Come on, Hawks. What are you a chicken?" Dabi teases his boyfriend as the group stands in front of the Space Mountain queue.
"I don't...really...like...rollercoasters," Shigaraki mumbles to Kurogiri, and Spinner and Compress nod in agreement. Hawks twiddles his thumbs, his face turning red.
"It's not that I'm a chicken...it's just...really dark in there. And my night vision isn't what it used to be...and...all the screaming and stuff...I'll just get too overstimulated in there," Hawks stammers to Dabi's chagrin.
"I'd be right behind you or in front of you, Birdbrain. There's nothing to be scared of," Dabi grumbles, but Hawks vigorously shakes his head.
"No. I'll just go on the Peoplemover with Spinner and Shiggy. We'll be able to see you guys in there anyway," Hawks says quickly, putting a hand on the leader's shoulder and a wing around the lizard.
"Peoplemover?" Shigaraki raises his eyebrow.
"It's like a little cart ride that goes around all of Tomorrowland. It's up that escalator," Spinner explains, pointing at the blue trolley that coasts above them.
"I believe the laugh floor might be a worthwhile attraction, Kurogiri," Compress whispers in the wispy man's ear, and he nods. The group splits off again, leaving Dabi, Toga, and Twice at the entrance to Space Mountain.
"Well, guess it's just us three," Dabi sighs, scratching the back of his neck as he turns around to face them. Toga and Twice are jumping up and down with excitement, absolutely ecstatic to ride the coaster. ...
The wait time for the coaster was an hour, and Dabi was feeling the repercussions of his choice. Nonetheless, he was determined to ride Space Mountain, despite Toga and Twice's incessant excited banter.
"Dabi! Dabi! Dabi! Are you gonna ride the teacups with us after?!" Toga squeals, poking the scarred man in the shoulder. Dabi leers down at her, his eyes narrowing.
"Not a chance in Hell," He shudders. The mere thought of that ride made him nauseous.
"Guess it's just you and me, then, Toga!" Twice smiles from ear to ear as they move up in the ride queue. They were all thankful that there was some cool stuff to look at in the line, but the trio was getting impatient.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I see the track names!" Toga giggles, jumping up and down in anticipation. Dabi and Twice follow her pointing to read the two signs: Alpha and Omega. Upon reading the names, Dabi snickers under his breath.
"What's so funny?" Toga asks, raising her eyebrow.
"Don't worry about it. Come on, the line's moving," Dabi ushers her forward, rolling his eyes. The trio reach the cast member, who directs them into the next car lineup.
"EEEK! I'm so excited!" Toga shrieks while Twice practically shakes with glee. Dabi absentmindedly taps on the gate as they see the coaster pull up, and their gates swing open. Twice sits in the front seat while Toga sits in the middle, leaving Dabi to climb into the back. They all pull down the lap bars as the rocket starts to move forward, and the cast member waves as they go into the tunnel.
...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Toga screams as the coaster swerves back and forth, climbing up and down in the darkness. Twice switches every other moment between laughing and screaming. Meanwhile, Dabi is looking around at all the fake comets and stars, smirking at the special effects and the feeling of the air whipping through his hair. He's definitely thankful he replaced his staples before the trip, otherwise he might've risked pulling one with all the jerking and speed. The coaster slows down through a blinking red tunnel, and Toga pouts.
"Aw, it's over already?" Toga mutters, removing her hands from her Minnie ears. She was holding onto them for dear life only moments ago. Dabi sharply inhales and leans forward, holding the ears to her head just as the coaster suddenly jerks again so they don't fly off.
"THANKS, DABI!" Toga cries out over the screams bouncing off the walls of the indoor coaster. She puts her hands back up on her head, and Dabi jokingly ruffles her hair as he lets go and leans back again. A few moments pass, and the coaster slows, curving down, and they begin to see light at the end of the tunnel.
"WOW! THAT WAS SO FUCKING COOL! I'm never riding that again," Twice switches as the car stops and the lap bars raise.
"TEACUP TIME! TEACUP TIME!" Toga shouts as they all scramble out of the carts. Toga and Twice link arms and begin skipping toward the exit walk-through while Dabi checks his phone. He has at least ten Snapchats from Hawks, and they're all pictures of him taking selfies with unsuspecting and oblivious Spinner and Shigaraki. At one point, it looks like Shigaraki is about to decay Hawks' wings in the background. Dabi groans before running after Toga and Twice.

Retour dans un passé compliqué. Parti de rien, avec des parents aux moyens modestes, divorcés et une jeunesse marquée par les difficultés financières et familiales, j'ai dû apprendre très tôt à faire face à l'adversité. Les souvenirs de très nombreux repas à base de raviolis en boîte, un frigo vide et les visites d'huissiers à la maison pour régler les dettes de mes parents sont encore bien présents dans ma mémoire. Malgré cette période difficile et la gêne de devoir recourir à l'aide sociale pour aller chercher des vêtements, ces épreuves ont forgé mon caractère. À l'âge de 16 ans j'étais papa, j'ai pris une décision qui allait changer ma vie. J’ai fondé ma première entreprise à 20. Aujourd'hui, à 73 ans, je suis toujours entrepreneur et même multi-entrepreneurs. En regardant en arrière, je réalise que ces défis de mon adolescence m'ont donné la détermination et l'énergie nécessaires pour réussir. J'ai cultivé un désir ardent de réussir, de m'en sortir, de tracer mon propre chemin et de ne pas reproduire les schémas du passé. Cette expérience m'a appris l'importance de la patience, de la curiosité l’envie d’être différent et de la persévérance. Pour réussir dans le monde des affaires, il faut être prêt à innover, à se dépasser et à toujours viser l'excellence et plus haut et encore plus haut. C'est ainsi que l'on peut véritablement s'élever et atteindre ses objectifs professionnels et personnels. Je crois que d'où vous venez, que vous avez été élevé avec une cuillère dans la bouche, ou malheureusement avec des obligations un peu différentes. Quand vous croyez en vos rêves, vous pouvez atteindre ce que vous avez envie de faire. Je pense que malheureusement beaucoup de gens baissent les bras trop vite, et pourtant il faut faire le contraire se battre. Je suis maintenant heureux de n’avoir rien eu quand j’étais jeune, d'avoir traversé ces périodes de ma vie. Les défis rencontrés dans ma jeunesse ont forgé mon caractère et renforcé ma détermination. Si les circonstances avaient été différentes, mon récit aurait été tout autre. Chaque épreuve surmontée m'a préparé pour les défis à venir et m'a guidé vers la réalisation de mes affaires. J’ai manqué de beaucoup de choses mais maintenant je peux m’offrir ce que je veux et c’est ça la revanche de la vie. Le travail est la clef de la réussite, l’avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt !
Return to a complicated past. Starting from nothing, with parents of modest means, divorced and a youth marked by financial and family difficulties, I had to learn very early to face adversity. The memories of many meals based on boxed ravioli, an empty fridge and the visits of bailiffs to the house to settle my parents' debts are still very present in my memory. Despite this difficult period and the embarrassment of having to resort to social assistance to get clothes, these ordeals have forged my character. At the age of 16 I was a father, I made a decision that would change my life. I founded my first company at 20. Today, at 73, I am still an entrepreneur and even multi-entrepreneur. Looking back, I realize that these challenges in my adolescence gave me the determination and energy to succeed. I cultivated a burning desire to succeed, to get by, to forge my own path and not repeat the patterns of the past. This experience taught me the importance of patience, curiosity, the desire to be different and perseverance. To succeed in the business world, you must be ready to innovate, to surpass yourself and to always aim for excellence and higher and higher. This is how you can truly rise and achieve your professional and personal goals. I believe that where you come from, that you were raised with a spoon in your mouth, or unfortunately with slightly different obligations. When you believe in your dreams, you can achieve what you want to do. I think that unfortunately many people give up too quickly, and yet we must do the opposite and fight. I am now happy that I had nothing when I was young, that I went through these periods of my life. The challenges encountered in my youth shaped my character and strengthened my determination. If the circumstances had been different, my story would have been completely different. Each ordeal overcome prepared me for the challenges to come and guided me towards achieving my business. I lacked a lot of things but now I can afford what I want and that’s the revenge of life. Work is the key to success, the future belongs to those who get up early!
