Heal Our Past, Change Our Future

Chapter XVII

It had been a few days since that night, Izuku didn't dare go near either of the Alphas, their murderous glares were already enough to tell the boy that he was unwelcomed in their presence.

However, once again the two were placed in the middle of the room with Bakugou in his restraints and chair, while Kirishima was once again chained to the floor.

Izuku could faintly hear the chatter from some news reporter on the TV, everyone else around him watched with interest, and he did his best to not turn his back and face the two eyes that he could feel boring into him, clearly trying to murder him with their gazes.

He focused on the dishes he was helping Kurogiri dry.

"Hehehehe," Shigaraki chuckled, clicking the TV remote to turn off the news, leaving everyone in the still silence without the meaningless background noise to tune it all out.

Every villain from the League was gathered in the small bar. Shigaraki had just shut off the TV, which had been playing different news stations. Each channel focused solely on the incident at the training camp, all of them giving negative remarks towards UA and the Pro Heroes.

All of them were disrupting the hero society in their own way with each new talk show or news update, and the villains in that secret bar were living for it.

"I'm so grateful to the media for all of the free publicity lately," Shigaraki sighed in contentment, swiveling in the barstool to face what the other villains were facing.

"Right?"

Kirishima and Bakugou glared at the man from their places in the middle of the room, though only Bakugou could bare his teeth aggressively, seeing as once again Kirishima was required to wear the muzzle in order to keep everyone from losing a finger.

But to say the least.

They were pissed.

"Isn't it nice, Katsuki Bakugou? I think your dog would like it too. If you told him to behave."

Forget it.

They weren't pissed.

They were murderously outraged.

Izuku internally face-palmed at Shigaraki's taunting, he saw no point in it. The two Alphas would never join, especially not now, he had made sure of it. But still, the man refused to give in on his attempts.

It was becoming aggravating.

"I'll ask you one more time, Katsuki Bakugou, aspiring hero," Shigaraki rasped.

"Will you join the League of Villains?" All villains in the bar leaned forward slightly, and Bakugou bared his teeth.

"Go throw yourself into traffic," He sneered. Shigaraki's eyes narrowed, and his voice was rough as he laughed a little.

Something far worse was definitely about to begin.

Shigaraki clicked his tongue in annoyance, and Izuku looked at his leader, his expression almost hopeful behind the mask. The blue-haired man then looked over to Izuku, and the boy felt his heart drop into his stomach once he met the Alpha's eyes.

"Tenshi, take these two away for a while, Sensei tasked you with convincing them to join, didn't he? Make them." It was an order, a direct one meant solely for him. Though how Shigaraki knew Izuku was supposed to be making the redhead and the blonde join the league was painfully obvious.

And a part of Izuku prayed that All for One hadn't revealed any further details as to why Izuku was assigned the task.

The boy stepped closer to the two, only to receive snarls and growls as their responses. And a part of Izuku was thankful they were chained up.
