Just Another Number

Chapter Five

I walked into the Leagues bar hideout, a hand wrapping around my neck, one finger not touching. "What the hell are you doing here?..." he croaked out. I grabbed his wrist gently and his grip loosened slightly.

"I heard your taking new people?... I can be quite the informant. Or spy on others, only reason I'm not in jail with Stain is because the police are idiots. I made a 'deal' with them, they think I'm just some dumb kid down the 'wrong path'. I'm close with them, I can tell you what you want." I did air quotes with each over exaggerated word, he thought for a minute before letting me go and stepping back.

"And why would you help me?..." he began peeling off his skin on his neck. "I'm more interested in chaos, it's like watching mice in a closed off maze. Plus with me in the mix it's like calling a cat an oversized mouse. They won't even notice that I'm still on my original 'path'." His peeling stopped, he was thinking again. "How do I know you aren't lying?"

"Shigaraki, I'm a murderer. And I was denied my kill, I'd do almost anything to get the feeling of fresh blood on my hands. All I want it to destroy. "

"I think we'll get along just fine... How do you feel about spying on class 1-A?"

"The top hero course at U.A.? What type of info do you want?"

"I want to know the quirks, weaknesses, and who would most likely become a villain. Be aware I have someone else on the inside."

"Go it."

I walked to the police department, opening the door and walking to the back, meeting up with the cop I was with in the car.

"Anything?"

"He wants me at U.A., class 1-A. Wants to know quirks, weaknesses, and personalities."

"Class 1-A huh... I'll have it arranged, and hey, maybe you'll learn something."

"Hell no... Wait, learn?... YOU MEAN I ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO TO CLASS!?"

"You do. Maybe this will help you figure out what you want to do."

"But-"

"No buts, now let's go I'll take you home."

I was finally sent the U.A. Uniform, I left the blazer in my locker, just wearing the undershirt. I opened the doors to the class since the bell was about to go, I just walked to the back and waited, noticing the quiet class. I watched as someone pointed to a group not to far away and I looked over, seeing Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya standing. I was going to approach but the rest of the class went up to them to ask questions.

"You were lucky Endeavour showed up and saved you guys."

I thought back to the chiefs monologue, sighing at the idea that we got no credit. But at the same time I understood why it had to be this way. "Yeah, that's right - he saved us." I began to move forward but more students began talking.

"Did you guys hear about the Hero Killer? Everyone's been saying that he was somehow connected to the League of Villains. Can you imagine how frightening it would have been if that creep had been there when they attacked the USJ?"

"He's scary yeah, but did you see him in that weird video it's all over the internet."

"I didn't even know there was a video of him."

"Oh yeah, Stains a pretty evil villain, but like super tenacious, he's almost kinda cool don't you guys think?"

"Kaminari!"

"He isn't cool." I spoke up, the class finally noticing me. "He is a killer, he prided himself on 'fixing' heroes but he didn't fix anything. He was blinded by his own power and he hurt a lot of families. He is not cool." I gently glared at the boy who said he was cool, my anger and pain washing over my need to be alone.
