The League of Villains didn't have many members, didn't have much motivation and didn't exactly have the most competent of leaders. 

Shigaraki was trying, he really was but his teacher loved to speak in riddles. The advice he gave was always 'let me assist' and then within the hour the villain would just do it himself. This prevented any real personal growth from Shigaraki. 

Kurogiri was suffocating too. Always forcing food and water on him and constantly telling him to consult teacher about everything. So Tomura had taken some time to himself. 

Except when he started his walk he had forgotten what a horrible part of the city the bar was in. He had barely walked 5 blocks and entered the red light district which was never pleasant. Currently the situation was particularly unpleasant. On all his other visits to the deplorable part of the city he had never before been approached by a sex worker. 

"So, no offense but you don't look like the type to hang around here.". That was another part of it. The particular prostitute he was talking to was, well, male. And nosy too. Unusual enough to get the villain's attention. Shigaraki scratched the back of his neck a little and glared at the man. 

"I'm not." He said through gritted teeth. The man just smiled and giggled a little causing the loose yukata he was wearing to slip further down his shoulders. Tomura cringed and scratched more. 

The man was strange looking to begin with. Long, straight black hair that was tied in a ponytail and blood red eyes. His face was like a porcelain doll. He looked like exactly the type of person Shigaraki couldn't handle well. "Um, are you alright?" He asked, sounding genuinely concerned about Shigaraki's scratching. 

The villain's eye twitched at the voice. It was much higher and softer than how he had been talking before. It had lost the quality that made the man's voice sound like, well, a man. Looking at the impossibly thin frame and short height Tomura realized this person was definitely a minor.

Not seeing Shigaraki's inner monologue questioning why a minor was a prostitute, the boy kissed his own finger. Carefully he reached out to Shigaraki's neck and tapped one of the largest sores. The villain quickly grabbed the finger with 4 of his own and glared at him. Suddenly the pain from that area disappeared and with a panicked expression Tomura looked down to find the irritation was gone. Even the base of his neck and shoulder had cleared up. 

Quickly he grabbed the boy's shoulder and dragged him down the street away from any witnesses. "What did you do?!" Shigaraki seethed. The boy's eyes were wide with fear and he began shaking a little. The hand held ominously over his face didn't help in the slightest. 

"I'm sorry." The boy stuttered out "Its my quirk, you looked like you were in pain so I just-". He looked so scarred but the short boy was attempting stand up fully. 

Somewhere in the blind rage of having someone use their quirk on him Shigaraki realized this could be exactly what they needed. "Do your employers know your a minor? Does your family know your doing this?". 

"Would I be doing this if I had a family?" The boy gritted out, tightening the yukata around him. His eyes were slanted upwards and filled with an expression Tomura recognized well. "What? Never heard of quirk trafficking before? They're my owners not my bosses.". 

Tomura smiled. He had just found the solution to his plan's greatest fault.  

------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- 

"So, you want me to join the League of Villains? That's why you dragged me away?" The boy said, letting Shigaraki's words sink in. He was under a blanket that had been offered to him by Kurogiri with his first mug of warm tea in years. The dingy bar didn't even phase him, at this point very little did. Besides being asked to join the most notorious criminal organizations out there. The media was still talking about the U.S.J attack. 

Shigaraki nodded, looking even stranger to the boy now that one of his hands covered most of his face. "Your quirk would be of good use to us. Don't you want back at the heroes that didn't save you?". 

The boy's eyes darkened at the thought. "I like to think they're coming someday." He mumbled with his mouth around the mug. Shigaraki laughed at his foolishness and shook his head. 

"Heroes today aren't true heroes. You were sold to another human being like you were nothing, doesn't that make your blood boil? Don't you want to see them crumble for their arrogance and pride in their 'safe society'?" The villain tested. Shifting in his chair, the boy met his eyes. 

Kurogiri as one pair of red eyes met another and waited for the boy's response. He had no clue what was so good about the boy that made Shigaraki risk their location and motives with him but he had to trust his charge's judgement. "If you join us, my teacher can help you. Kill your owners if you'd like. I know they saw me take you away. Don't you want true freedom?".

"You don't even know how my quirk works and you're willing to let me in? Just like that?" The boy questioned. "I thought you'd be used to people wanting your quirk by now?". He visibly flinched at Shigaraki's comment. 

"So how are you different? You're just a slave owner with ideals." The boy said simply, taking another sip of his tea. 

"I wouldn't own you, I just want someone to help fight for our ideals. With the added bonus of ridding you of whoever held you hostage before." Shigaraki explained, getting a little impatient. A warning look from Kurogiri made him sit back down but did nothing to the man's attitude. 

"What do you say, kid?" Shigaraki said with a creepy looking smile plastered on his face. 

"What other option is there?"

Welcome to Newbie, my first villain centered fanfic! It'll mostly be about the league behind the scenes and the ideals of hero society. I did consider making this a villain deku story at first but I think it works better this way. Feel free to tell me if you'd like Deku to be featured as his evil self though. 

I hope at least one human enjoys this as that's the point of publishing this here and not just writing this and leaving it in drafts for years!
