30 minutes rewind

Spinner, Toga, and Shigaraki were out running errands.

"I don't understand why we can't just steal all our groceries Shigaraki!"

"Spinner, explain it to that airhead for me. I'm sick of talking to her, she annoys me!"

"Toga, you keep forgetting that we are renowned criminals in all of Japan! If someone recognizes us it's going to be hard to get away from heroes! That's why we're also using fake names! I'm Jerry you're Gretel and Shigaraki is Tom!"

"Ugh fine... Why did I have to be Gretel though..?"

They went into a grocery store and scattered around to find what they need. At the checkout, Toga spotted a chocolate bar.

She looked around before quickly chucking it into her pocket. As they walked out of the store she pulled it out and started pulling the wrapper.

"Gretel what are you doing? Wait did you steal that?!"

"Don't worry, this store doesn't have a detector."

As soon as she said that an alarm sounded around the store and they looked around and noticed that the store had gotten detectors.

"Hey stop right there!"

A fence appeared out of nowhere blocking the exit for the villains.

"TOGA WHAT DID YOU DO!"

"Tom remember fake names!"

"Toga? Oh my god, it's the League of Villains!"

"My perfect plan!"

Shigaraki turned around and decayed the fence that was hindering them and they ran away.

"Everyone split up. Spinner take the groceries and get the hell away from here while I and Toga distract the heroes!"

Spinner put the groceries in a backpack, jumped on a random building, and slithered away. Shigaraki and Toga ran in different directions but soon enough heroes were on their tails.

"Everybody move out of my way or I'll kill you!"

As Shigaraki pushed through a crowd of people he suddenly felt a harsh punch knock him to the ground. His nose started to bleed and as he looked up he saw the hero Fourth Kind in front of him.

"Hand yourself in and I won't make this more painful than it should be."

He quickly got up and started running again. Suddenly, a slab of wood lunged in his direction. He was able to dodge it but the pro hero Rock Lock kept throwing it at him.

Shigaraki knew he couldn't fight off 2 heroes so he decided to threaten to kill someone instead.

The problem was that the pro hero Backdraft was stopping him from getting to any bystanders and stores and restaurants were closing left and right and all doors were closed until he spotted a café that didn't seem to close yet.

He ran full speed into the cafe but Rock Lock's slab broke the glass door making him trip and fall.

Current time.

Shigaraki was looking around and spotted a young woman with pink hair staring at him in shock.

He grabbed her and held her in a chokehold.

"Stay back or I'm gonna kill her!"

The heroes stopped and listened to his orders.

"Oh my god! Are you actually Tomura Shigaraki?"

"Yeah, got a problem?"

"No on the contrary! I'm your biggest fan! Will you sign my forehead?"

"I'd love to but I'm kind of busy right now!"

Rock Lock tried to discreetly throw his slab at Shigaraki but it only hit y/n, getting stuck in her wig and pulling it off.

"Ah, shit!"

"Wait a minute... That girl is a runaway, she was on the news!"

"Damnit you blew my cover! Oh well, wanna escape? I have a plan."

"Why would I trust you?"

"Because I'm your biggest fan! You don't have to but I'm gonna get out of your arms, grab my bag and make a run for it. Follow me if you want."

Before he could decide she slid out of his arms. Grabbed her bag that lay on the floor and ran away while grabbing his wrist.

"Haha just kidding! You didn't have a choice in the first place!"

Rock Lock's slab came flying but y/n activated her quirk.

Bones, it gave the user the ability to use their own bones to their will without feeling that they're gone but if used for too long the user will start to lose control of their limbs.

A bone came out of her hand stopping the slab as they ran into the kitchen.

"This place has a back door that leads to an empty alley."

A table came flying in their direction but they dodged it. The cooks in the kitchen were hiding behind the cabinets and shrieking at any noise.

Y/n kicked the door open and started running through the street.

"I'm gonna die I can't run any longer!"

Shigaraki started to slow down but y/n kept the grasp on his arm.

"Just a little longer!"

Y/n took a sharp turn and there it was. An open manhole.

"Get in get in get in!"

She basically pushed Shigaraki down the manhole and put on the manhole cover.

They could hear the heroes pass them as they went down the manhole. Shigaraki was still out of breath once they were in the sewers.

"Thanks for saving my life...uhm?"

I took a bottle of water out of my bag and drank from it before passing it to Shigaraki.

"No problem, I'm Punchline but you can call me y/n!"

Through his gulps, Shigaraki tried to speak.

"Yeah...thanks y/n. But why...did you...do that?"

She smiled at him, and he sensed something sinister in her face.

"I told you didn't I? I'm your biggest fan!"

Those words were the last he heard before passing out.
