Two days later, Shigaraki went to this Overhaul and talked to him again, this time alone. We others stayed here. I was sitting on the ground with my back against a crate, and Dabi was sitting on the crate, looking down at me and sometimes hitting me with his feet out of boredom. While I complained at him that he'd almost hit Ash again, who was sleeping on my shoulder. That was until Shigaraki came back and entered the room. "Work with the Hassaikai?!" Twice asked confused. "Yeah, don't make me keep saying it. Their plan has enough potential. Toga and Twice you two are Yakuza from today on." Shigaraki told us. "That's an unfunny joke. Sounds interesting, Shigaraki!" Twice saida rguing with himself. "They almost took Kuroiri too, but I held out. Anyway, that guy's got his own important job to do right now. You'll be moving through an underground route." Shigaraki got stopped from talking by Twice. "Can you be the leader if you just pretend to keep cool? Are you being influenced by the masked bastard?!" Twice asked. "That guy killed Big Sis Mag! He blew away Mr. Compress's arm. He's the guy I brought carelessly to us..." He then took off his mask, showing his face with his blond hair. He was a mess. "I'm human too, you know, Shigaraki. Toga, you too! Say something!" He yelled at Toga.

"What are we to you, Tomura?" She then asked him. "To me, the league is a place that's comfortable. Mr. Stainy is what brought me to you. I want to make the world a place, where I can do what I want and live easily. I'd like to do that if I can." She said and danced over to Tomura, as she then held a knife against his throat. "Hey, Tomura, why do I have to do something that's hard that I don't want to do?" She asked, and Shigaraki suddenly took off the hand on his face.

"Well...It's for me and for you guys. They probably want to restrict the League's mobility and win you useful guys over gently at the same time. I want you to flatter them from up close and conquer them." Shigaraki said, and Toga slowly put down her knife. "I never thought of them as equals. Twice, you said you want to take responsibility, right? This is one way to do it..."

"I...trust you guys." He ended his speech, and I looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "Aww, I spoke, and they looked at me. "That was so nice of you, Shigaraki." I grinned. "If you guys asked me, you're the family I'd never had." I smiled at them happily. Toga looked like she was about to cry and threw herself at me.

Toga wrapped her arms around me tightly, her warmth enveloping me like a comforting blanket. "You really mean that?" she whispered, her voice shaky but filled with emotion. I could feel the sincerity in her embrace, and it filled my heart with a strange kind of joy.

"Of course I do!" I replied, returning her hug with equal fervor. "You're all my family now. I never thought I'd find a place where I belong, but here we are. We're in this together!"

Twice stepped back, a wide grin spreading across his face despite the tension in the room. "I guess we're all stuck with each other then, huh? A family of misfits, the League of Villains!" He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

Shigaraki watched us with a mix of annoyance and relief, his expression softening as he observed the camaraderie growing among us. "Focus, guys. This isn't a joke. We need to take this seriously. The Hassaikai could be powerful allies, but we can't let our guard down," he reminded us, his voice steady but not unkind.

"Right, right," I said, nodding as I pulled away from Toga and wiped away the remnants of her tears. "But we can still support each other through this. We're stronger together, and that includes sticking together through the tough times."

"I don't trust Overhaul," Dabi said, his voice dropping slightly. "He's dangerous, and I don't like the idea of working with someone who's willing to throw people away when it suits him."

"I get it," I replied, meeting his gaze. "But this could be our chance to show that we're not just villains in their eyes. We can flip the narrative on them. We'll go in as a united front, and they won't know what hit them."

Toga nodded, her previous worry replaced by determination. "We'll show them! They won't take us down so easily."

"Exactly," I encouraged, feeling the adrenaline start to pulse through me. "And if anything goes wrong, we'll back each other up. Always."

"Yeah, let's show them how strong we really are," Twice added, his excitement infectious.

Shigaraki smirked, a hint of pride evident in his expression. "You guys are getting it. This isn't just about surviving anymore; it's about making our mark on this world. Let's make them regret ever crossing paths with us."

The room filled with a renewed sense of purpose, and I could feel the weight of our shared resolve settling in. We were a band of misfits, sure, but we had each other's backs, and together, we could take on anything.
