Gem is yet another villain bolstered by hero killer Stain. Having been outcast by her parents and society, her goal is to upset the system so that all can live freely. After Stain's arrest, Gem finds herself in front of the League of Villains in a d...
Shuffling down an alleyway and turning into a musty corridor, Giran brings me to the bar as a potential new member of the League of Villains. We just walk in, but he wastes no time lighting a cigarette and walking right back out, leaving me to the villain group without much of an introduction. He waved off, "I think you'll find her quite the catch."
A dude I'm told is their leader, Shigaraki, sat at the bar in front of me with Kurogiri by his side. I take a minute to look around, sizing up the place. There are only 2 other people here... does this even count as a 'group'? The place is dusty and unassuming but not seeing any bugs. 'I could get used to this', I think. 'Although what's with all those hands?' Giran didn't tell me much about these people other than they shared the same goal as me - dismantling hero society.

"Well? So far she's just standing there. What can she even offer us?", Shigaraki bluntly asks Kurogiri, ignoring me. This is my chance. Not savvy with words, I respond by rushing him, knife out. Before he has time to react, I cut a shallow wound on his chest while healing a scar patch on his neck at the same time. Kurogiri knows my quirk, but judging from Shigaraki's reaction he hasn't had the chance to inform them. I guess we arrived unexpectedly. It's true Giran pops by when he wants.
Kurogiri opens a warp-gate to prevent a lunging Shigaraki from using his decay on me. "If you attack me again", he warns, "I won't hesitate to kill you. Next time use your words first."
I smirk, "Where's the fun in that?"
I follow my sarcasm up with an explanation of my Quirk. All I ask in return is a place to stay and privacy. Shigaraki glares at me, still no reaction. What is this guys problem? Suddenly the girl, Toga, gets right up in my face introducing herself. "I'm so excited to have another girl around. Another girl who loves Mr. Stainy too!". This brings a groan out of Dabi, the burnt one, "Great, another goddamn maniac".
"You're one to talk", I hiss. "You look like Frankenstein's monster".
As Gem adjusts to the group, Shigaraki remains silent. What just happened? He thinks, reaching for his neck as if to scratch it out of habit, but it doesn't itch. In fact he feels... different. Is this feeling.. relief? His itch is usually subdued by killing people who piss him off, but it always comes back. He brushes off these confusing new feelings and stands up. "You're in," he mutters in his raspy voice, "only because we need a healer".
"While heroes profit and live lavishly, our numbers grow. Comrades, prepare to destroy Hero Society as it is".
