BRAINWAVE (Shigaraki x Fem/Reader)

Chapter 31

;) hehe

- Chapter 31: Addition & Subtraction -

Shigaraki gnawed at an open scab that resided upon his lower lip. It stung and blood would occasionally leak from the torn epidermis, though it went unnoticed as the villain scratched absent mindedly at his neck. Baby steps Tamura, baby steps.

With unevenly cut nails, his scratching intensified (much to Kurogiri's discretion) as time ticked by.

With a guttural growl of childish impatience, the crimson eyed criminal slammed his closed fist down on the bar top, rattling the contents of his nearby drink. "Kurogiri," Shigaraki glared through the fingers of father. "Where the hell are those side characters?" His tone was strained and spiteful as it always was. NPCs never know what they're doing! Even when the damned mission is imperative. His free hand resumed his scratching as he cocked his head to the side to allow himself more room for self mutilation. Stupid incompetent bastards...

Kurogiri, calm as ever, glanced to his leader. "I assure you Tomura, Dabi and Mr. Compress will make an appearance soon enough. No need to fret."

Shigaraki paid the mist like villain's words no mind as his eyes raked over a small piece of paper that recorded the nurse's sloppily scribbled work schedule. Resume. Resume. My game will resume with a new DLC. I just have to wait for it to install. The villain leader picked at the paper with his uneven nails.

Kurogiri opened a door sized portal causing the the blue haired male to scoff indignantly as patchwork and the magician sauntered through.

A piss poor look (as always) resided on the burn victims face. Mr. Compress's Visage was obscured as per usual, though his demeanor portrayed otherwise. The masked escapist was distinguished to say the very least (almost obnoxiously so). It pissed him off, but he'd surmise. Compress was a valuable player.

Shigaraki deepened his resting scowl. It was already late and he wanted to get this piss poor plan over and done with.

"Greetings Shigaraki. I do hope you're ready to commence tonight's ordeal." Mr. Compress gestured dramatically, his voice ever exuberant. "I must say, this will be quite exhilarating."

Dabi rolled his eyes with a sigh and received a vexatious glare from Shigaraki. He wouldn't doubt his skills, that much was certain, but FUCK did his very existence anger him.

"Let's go. I don't want to stall this side quest any longer." His words would've came out as a statement, but they were more an order than anything. Shigaraki slid off his bar stool (not bothering to push it in) and stood to height before placing father upon his face once more. He'd bring along the others, but that'd be overkill for a side quest so simple.

Kurogiri kept his eyes trained on All for One's disciple with unwavering attention, awaiting further instructions.

Shigaraki, with eyes so piercing they could kill, didn't bother to turn fully to face his second in command. "Take me to Fox Petal in Meguro." Kurogiri opened a portal, its swirling vortex of various shades of purple were almost hypnotic. "Gather the others. After all, there needs to be a welcome committee for a new player." A sadistic smile crawled onto the villain scarred lips.

The retrieval trio stepped through the portal as Shigaraki ran through the game plan in his head.

It was nowhere near great or even well organized. He'd factored in a variety of things as one does. Dabi was long ranged and could give them an out if need be, Compress was the capture, and Shigaraki would lead (more like babysit).
