A few weeks and accidents later I brought Kacchan to the base for the first time. Shiggy was skeptical but agreed on taking him in under the conditions that it wouldn't distract me from my work.
"Yeah, yeah. He won't." I groan in protest, Shiggy raises his eyebrow and reminds me of the last time Kacchan had distracted me, this being the reason I almost died a few days before.
"That was different and we will not talk about that." I protest, grabbing a pillow and chucking it at my brother (Shiggy). "sure. Anyway, there's gonna be some people coming in here to see if they can join us." I look up. "What does that have to do with me?" I question somewhat sheepishly. Shiggy rolls his eyes and throws me my mask.
"Go get ready for work dumbass!" OK, ok, calm down crusty man. "Whatever, Kurogiri, can you take Kacchan home?" Kurogiri nods and opens a warp gate to what I hope is close to Kacchan's place.
"Cya at school tomorrow." I mutter, gesturing to the portal for him to leave. "Bye." Is all I get back before he does as I say.

"What a dog. Anyway, the first people will be here soon so get changed and do your job bartender." He said the last word as if it was an insult. I shrug and go to my room to change.
We had agreed to the fact that Kacchan would be staying at his own place until we found a right time to make him disappear. What a tragedy it would be, two best friends both disappearing never to be found.. lol.

I come back into the bar, now wearing my usual suit and mask. I can already see two people introducing themselves. When I glance out the door I see a small line of people.
"Jeez, since when are we famous?" I question, gesturing to the line. The two unfamiliar people turn to me, one with big eyes, the other with admiration.
"Since the Stain thing, apparently people think we're associated with the asshole." Shiggy answers somewhat annoyed. I mean, are we not? I shrug and start pouring a drink for myself.
"No alcohol asshole." Ace comments, grabbing the drink from my hands. rude. I shrug and grab a soda, with a straw so I don't have to take off my mask.
"You're a dick." I whisper, trying to be quiet as to not disturb the interview. I look over and see a lizard dude and a masculine looking lady, maybe trans but if I wasn't told she was I wouldn't know.
"What are your quirks?" Shiggy asks them, not displaying any form of emotion.

"Magnetism." The woman answers, I had just caught her name being 'Magne'. "What does it do?"
"My quirk allows me to apply strong magnetic polarity to people around me within a 4.5-meter radius. I can magnetize a person's entire body or specific portions. Men are polarized south, and women are polarized north. I can't magnetize myself" She explains quickly without hesitation. Shiggy nods and gestures for her to sit down. She does so at the bar and immediately orders a drink from me.
"Can you serve alcohol?" She asks after a while, she had already finished her drink at this point. I nod.
"Yeah I can, no it's not legal but I'm a villain so nothing I do really is." Magne just shrugs and orders another one. After a while Shiggy also recruits the lizard guy and two other people. Some kind of magician and a boy who looked around my age.

"Names?" I ask, obviously I hadn't been paying attention to the interviews Shiggy had been doing so I make them repeat everything they told him.
"Mr. Compress." The magician states, I look up while pouring a drink for the obviously underaged boy next to him.
"Calling yourself 'mr.'? That's lame. You?" I glance at the boy. "Mustard, don't mention it." I nod and hand him his drink. "Should you be drinking alcohol?" I ask somewhat skeptically.
"No. Should you be serving it?" I crack a smile and shake my head.

When the last two people enter the room my attention gets dragged to the conversation.
"Name?"
"Himiko Toga and.. Dabi?" Giran states, the last name in a more questioning tone. "Yeah that's correct." The older guy of the two says. He looked like a fucking dick, scars lining his chin and under his eyes, the edges of the scars lined with surgical staples.
"Hey Staples! He wants your real name, not some made up one." I inform the enormously tall guy. "That's all you're getting for now." He groans, annoyance seeping into his voice. I groan to myself and pull a knife out of my pocket.
"Well too bad then." I mutter, stepping onto a small ledge on the side of the bar, I had placed it there personally for reasons like this. Before the guy knew it he had a knife at his throat, though I was being stopped by Kurogiri, who sighed in disappointment and grabs the knife from my hand more violently then you'd expect from him, the blond girl next to Dabi giggles and also tries stabbing him, she also gets stopped and her knife taken.
"Why is it always the tiny ones." Ace laughs, grabbing my knife from Kurogiri.
"Keep your child in check Ace." Shiggy tells him, looking annoyed at the fact his interview was being disturbed.
"He is not my child!" I laugh and pull myself out of the numerous warp gates Kurogiri had created. "Ass." I mutter, trying to grab my knife back, lets just say I failed seeing my blue haired parental figure had turning it into a playing card and showed it to me with a satisfied grin. Compress looks at it for a moment, then asks how to get it out again.
"I just have to snap my fingers." Ace explains, showing how to do it, and stupidly giving me the chance to grab my knife back. Ace yelps slightly but gives up on getting it back. Meanwhile the interview had gone on without my noticing.

"Quirks?" They both explained it quickly, Toga had some kind of shapeshifting quirk where if she drank someone's blood she could turn into them, Dabi had a fire quirk.
"Almost like Endeavors.." I mutter, taking notes in my notebook, nobody was ordering anything so I didn't have any interruptions. Dabi just stared daggers at me for a while but then turned back to the interview.
