Together We Rule

Welcome In

It's been a little over a week since Shigaraki and I had met up with Toga and Twice. Shigaraki hadn't heard anything from them yet so he assumed they have yet to complete the tasks he had given them. Through the time waiting for the 2 weeks to pass I'd mainly been playing video games with Shigaraki, though when not doing that I was starting to come up with the beginning of my plans to take out Endeavor. I'm patient and can wait for it to happen, but I'd still prefer for him to be out of the picture as soon as possible.
Today was one of those usual days of Shigaraki and I playing video games while Kurogiri was off doing his own thing around base. We were in the middle of a Mario Kart race when Shigaraki's phone rang. He sighed as he paused the game before reaching into his pocket and answering the phone. The conversation lasted for only a few seconds before he turned to me with a smile on his face. "We're meeting with Toga and Twice later, they said that they've completed their missions."
I nodded, "We going now?"
"Nah, they need an hour or so to get to the meeting place. Toga said that she'll call again once they're there so we can warp over." Shigaraki replied, "Now, let's get back to this race, Patchwork."
---------------------------------------
   When the phone rang again Shigaraki yet again paused the game and answered it. When he hung up he told me that we were going to finish this round then go meet up with Twice and Toga.
   Once the game was finished I shut off the console while he went off to find Kurogiri and get a warp gate. A couple minutes later they came into the living room and Kurogiri opened a gate immediately. Shigaraki and I went through it seconds later.
   On the other side of the gate I found Shigaraki already face to face with Toga and Twice so I quickly moved to join him. "So, you've finished everything I assigned you?" Shigaraki asked, glaring at them as he spoke.
   Toga eagerly nodded, "Yep! Everything's done on Jin's end and I got all of the information you asked me to gather." She replied as she handed Shigaraki a file.
   Shigaraki started to flip through it, a smile appearing on his face the farther he got. "I'm impressed, this is all so much more than I thought you would provide. Well done, you two have earned your places in the league."
   Toga cheered and pulled Twice into a hug. "Thank you so much Shigaraki! I'm really looking forward to this!" Toga said.
   "I am too! I'll never join you creeps!" Twice added.
   "Before I bring you back to base I suppose a couple things should be mentioned." Shigaraki began, "This right here is Dabi. Dabi's my second in command and his orders should be taken almost as if they're my own. Throughout this we'll also be taking on a mission that I agreed to help Dabi with in order to have him as a recruit. When we go back to base I'll show you to your rooms. In no circumstances are you to enter my room or any rooms that are locked, understood?"
   Toga and Twice nodded, "Yes sir!" They said in unison.
   "Excellent. Now then, follow me." Shigaraki replied as a warp gate appeared behind us. Shigaraki began towards the gate, me and the others close behind.
At the other end of the gate Kurogiri was waiting for us. "Welcome to the League of Villains." He said once Toga and Twice were through the gate. Toga was quick to thank him while Twice started spewing his contradictions.
"Dabi, I want you to go through these for me and come up with a plan. Toga, Twice, follow me." Shigaraki instructed, handing me the file before taking off to show Toga and Twice to their rooms. Once they were gone I opened the file and found multiple pages with information on students from UA High, interesting. I decided to continue this in my room and quickly took off.
When I got into my room I sat on my bed and spread out all of the UA files in front of me, one student catching my eye instantly. The file of Shoto Todoroki. I hesitated but slowly picked up the file, thoroughly reading every single word that was on the page. I knew that Shoto wanted to be a hero, hell, all of us did. I'm just scared that he's getting forced into this by Endeavor.
   I thought back to the last time I saw Shoto, those 6 years ago when I left and he came out to see what I was doing. I often wondered if he felt guilty for not being able to stop me or anything like that, but I don't regret leaving. I only regret that I couldn't take him and my other siblings with me.
I decided to push thoughts of my little siblings aside for now, there's always time to think about how to free them from Endeavor's grasp later. For now I knew that I had to do what Shigaraki had assigned me to do. Though he didn't give me many details I knew what he expected. I was to figure out who would be the best target to kidnap and make a plan on how to do so. Setting Shoto's file aside I got to work and began to carefully read through each file.
   A few hours later there was a knock on my door and Shigaraki walked inside seconds later, "How's it going?" He asked as he walked over to where I was sitting.
   "I'm making progress. I've come up with a short plan and a couple good targets to go after, I just need to put a little more thought into it." I replied as I grabbed another file, this one on their teacher.
   Shigaraki walked over and grabbed Shoto's file, which I had placed away from the others. "Why's this one over here? Is he a target?"
   "No-" I replied, a little too quickly. "I um- sorry, no, he's not. If possible I'd like to leave him out of this."
   Shigaraki looked at me, confused. "Why?"
   I stared at the file in his hands for a few moments, "Can I tell you later? I'd prefer not to talk about that yet." I replied.
   Shigaraki sighed, "Fine, but you're telling me eventually. Don't overwork yourself, I'll check back in on you in the morning. Goodnight." He said as he walked out the door, Shoto's file still in his hands.
   I let out a breath of relief and anxiety, not knowing when he's going to make me talk about this. Instead of sinking farther into my anxiety I just focused on the task at hand, coming up with more variations of the plan along with back up plans. I've also narrowed our target down to 3 people and continued to work out the rest of the details as the night went on.
