Villainous

Chapter Eleven - Dinner

Maybe Ochako would tell the blonde about her quirk-enhancing mask being on display in a hero's museum.

Or maybe she could get it back for Toga? Prove herself to the League?

But could she really? Physically it'd be a cake walk. The guards were pushovers who couldn't become heroes, so they settled for the next best thing. And all cameras had blind spots and back doors if you tried hard enough.

No, Ochako was worried about whether she could morally do it. Stealing from heroes to give to a villain. But it wasn't just about being reverse Robin Hood for the day, what about the long term?

Firstly, this would boost Toga's ability to transform by leaps and bounds. She wouldn't have to go one by one, manually stealing blood. She'd be able to gather massive amounts in a moments notice. That was a terrifying thing to be caught on the wrong end of.

The next problem was the fact that every teacher, student, and miscellaneous faculty member would be right on her tail. Especially the ones who knew that she had this mission. It wouldn't take a genius to connect the dots, but that wouldn't stop Principal Nezu from helping. Forget extra security, the school would be locked down and searched! If Ochako wanted to be smart about this, she'd make it impossible to link back to her.

Morals be damned, Ochako was set on doing this, and she wasn't quite sure why. Of course, it would cause Toga to trust her more, and by association, the League to trust her more too. You don't just causally put a weapon of mass destruction into your enemy's hands after all.

But there was something else, too. When Toga smiled at her with that beaming grin, or laughed at a statement that wasn't supposed to be a joke, it made the hero a little happy. The way that the blonde would grab her hand and lead her forward, or pat her on the back and call her the "little hero", it made it hard to tell her no. Even if Toga wasn't there, Ochako still couldn't bring herself to tell the villain no.

Maybe that's why at 11:00pm, Ochako found herself trespassing into U.A's museum.

Let's rewind a bit, shall we?

Ochako arrived back at the dormitory in time to catch the ending portion of the impromptu meeting her classmates had gathered for. Most of them, save for the few who couldn't make it, were seated around the massive table they used for meals. It could seat everyone in Class 1-A at once, and then some. Ochako slid into the chair at the end of the table, not receiving any acknowledgment as she did so.

Everyone's focus was on Tsu, Deku, and Bakugo, who stood around a whiteboard the green-haired boy likely brought out. They'd drawn up some ideas, including the rationality and chance that the LoV had a new member. It was a resounding 'no' from the class, much to Ochako's relief. Several crude stick figures lining the board caught the gravity hero up to date on what they'd been discussing.

It seemed like they'd gotten most the story correct, with the woman's death being the fault of Himiko Toga, over stolen goods. The only differences being the fact that it was cash, which also seemed to be in speculation, and the very obvious one. Ochako was the one who'd killed her, not Toga.

"Does anyone else have anything to add?" Deku finished writing down Mina's idea, before turning to look at everyone. "Okay then. I'll make this a formal letter and send it to All Might and Principal Nezu." The green haired boy capped his dry erase marker and began wheeling the board back to his room. Everyone else dispersed afterwards, along with Tsu and Mina, who didn't seem to notice Ochako's appearance. That worked wonderfully in her favor.
