~Izuku's POV~

It's been a week since finding Shiggy and Toga, Eri, and Dabi finding out about my past. Everything has been going great and I feel that it has brought us all a little closer. Now my focus has turned to the LOV. Since Shiggy is no longer with them, he has helped me gain new information on not only them but also All For One. We're currently in my office now going over what he had to do while working for him.

"So what were the main things that you had to be in charge of while you were there Shiggynii-chan?" I ask while typing on my computer. It already has the information that I found on them so I'm just adding to it.

"I was mostly in charge of strategizing and looking over the business aspect of the LOV while staying at the hideout." He says.

"Oh, can you describe the hideout and where it is located?"

"Sure, it's a rundown bar on the east side of town. It's part of an old apartment complex with the bar being right underneath it. That's where most of the villains live." Shiggy states.

"Perfect. By the way, what was that thing I fought, I think you called it a Nomu?" I turn to look at him. He gives me an apologetic look, probably remembering what that thing did to me during our last battle.

"Yes I did. It's basically an experiment that was created specially to defeat All Might, although you had no problem taking it down." He mutters the last part. I give him an incredulous look. 'Does he seriously thing I had no problem fighting that thing?' I shake my head, pushing the thought away.

"So it was an experiment? Do you know how it was created?" I ask while turning back to my computer.

"I know the general idea of how they were made since that was part of the business side of being the leader. They were once originally human." He states. My hands freeze over the keyboard at that. '....What......'

"Hold on, Did you say 'they'? As in there is more than one; and what do you mean humans. Tomura Shigaraki, Did you kidnap humans to be experimented on?!" I yell the last part. He puts his hands up in surrender while giving me a frantic look.

"Wait Izuku, please calm down and let me explain." He says in a panic. I give him a suspicious look before I nod a yes.

"To answer your questions; yes, there are more of them and no, I didn't kidnap anyone. They were already there when I joined. Like I said before, I saw some dark things while being there and that was one of them." He said with a grimace.

"Was their anyway for you to help them?" I ask with a bit of hope.

"No, they had been there for years and the experimentation had become irreversible. Even if I wanted to help and set them free, they would just be braindead, a living puppet with no purpose." He says with sadness while looking down at his hands. I tear up slightly at him. 'God, the things he must have seen while being there.' I rub my eyes and take a deep breath to compose myself before I ask a question I'm not sure I want the answer to.

"Why humans specifically, I hate to say it but why not animals?" I ask.

"From the charts that I read, they started with animals but they weren't getting the results they wanted. One round of experiments were to much for them apparently, they needed a specimen that would stay alive. That's when they turned to humans, the first one being a prostitute that was sold to us by her drug dealer. From that point on, the experiments were becoming successful, although you wouldn't think that with the way they looked." He says. 

"Were there any requirements that the human had to have for the experiment to be successful?" I ask dreading the answer.

"In the beginning, no; but as they continued, they notice that the humans that had weaker Quirks had a higher rate of of succeeding."
