The usual alarm went off at 5 a.m. signaling Izuku to get up. It only rang a couple of times before he slammed down on the button to turn it off. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, firmly planting his feet on the ground. Standing up, he trudged his way over to the full body mirror that leaned against the wall. He took in his reflection and pulled on the clothes he laid out the night before - a black t-shirt and baggy cargo pants paired with scuffed sneakers. He examined himself once again as he adjusted his messy green hair.

Straightening his posture, he made his way to the door. He opened the wooden door to the hallway, stepping into the dimly lit area that led to the living area. Once he made his way to the bar, he stood against the wall with his back straight and his hands in his pockets. Minutes later, the other members sleepily made their way to the worn couches that sat in the middle of the room. He's only had a few interactions with the others besides Shigaraki. He wasn't very fond of a few of them solely because they were too energetic for his liking. Surprisingly, he got alomg decently with Dabi. Probably because neither of them spoke much, but whenever they saw each other, they would nod in acknowledgment. He's never considered himself a part of the League. He sees himself as more of a weapon than a member. Even being a tool that they could dispose at any given moment, he wasn't bothered. In fact, he was content with his position.

He stayed in his standing position, not moving, while they spoke about an upcoming mission. He listened quietly to their plans until Shigaraki, which he refers to as 'Master', spoke directly to him. "You are going to be the diversion." He stated as he looked at the stiff boy. "Yes, sir." Izuku replied in a monotone voice.

They continued to speak about their plan, which happened to be an ambush. Izuku's role in this would be to distract the pros and lead them away from the scene while the others took out a high-ranking official. All in all, it seemed very simple.

Once they finished up with the details, they put the plan into motion. Kurogiri made a warp gate to a local park that was close to the site of the ambush. Izuku was the only one to go through this gate. He had no weapons and no disguise. His quirk alone should be strong enough for his role.

He found a nearby tree to lean against while he waited for the others to signal that they were ready. His eyes wandered to the building that the ambush would take place and patiently waited for his queue. Once an explosion went off on the 3rd floor of the building as planned, he searched for each pro. They all ran towards the building, hoping to resolve the issue as fast as possible. When they got close enough, he stopped them.

He used his quirk to stop several heroes from advancing. He made it known to them that he was the one causing it in hopes that a few would trail him. Releasing the grip he had on them, he broke into a sprint towards a nearby alley. The sound of footsteps chasing him were significantly less than he had hoped.

Once he was deep enough in the alley, he turned to the people in a fighting stance. The heroes who followed him were none other than Midnight and Erasurehead. This was the worst possible combination he could think of. There are only a few ways to stop him, and two were standing right in front of him. Nonetheless, he didn't back down. This is the role that was assigned to him, and he would perfect it.

He charged at the two, pulling his arm back in preparation for a punch. Before he could land the hit, his arms were bound with capture tape. He snarled at Erasurehead and pushed off the floor with his feet aiming a kick at the hero, which connected with the older man's torso. He stumbled back as he regained his balance. Midnight tore her outfit, releasing the pink fog towards the boy. He sucked in his breath and continued to fight.

In an attempt to get Midnight to stop using her quirk against him, he tried to use his quirk to stop her. When she didn't submit to his control, he refocused his attention on Erasurehead, who sure enough was using his quirk to suppress his. "Damn it, Erasurehead. You don't know when to fuck off, do you?" Izuku growled at the man. He charged at the hero and tried to kick him in the head, but his effort was blocked.

"You're just a kid. Why are you fighting us?" He questioned, pain evident in his voice. "Cause it's my job. Why else?" Izuku retaliated. He pulled his leg away from Erasurehead's arm and flung his head forward in an attempt to headbutt him. Izuku's head didn't connect because before it could, he was kicked in the gut and sent backward. The sudden jolt forced him to gasp for air, which resulted in him breathing in Midnight's quirk. He got extremely lightheaded and wobbly but still remained standing. "Just go down, kid! I don't want to hurt you!" Erasurehead yelled desperately. Izuku ignored his desperation and charged him again, this time much less coordinated.

Now, his wrists were free of the restraints, so he used that to his advantage. He swung weakly at the pro, who effortlessly caught his fist. He gripped the boy's wrist and spun it around, pressing it to his back. Erasurehead pushed the boy on the floor and held him in that position until he finally succumbed to Midnight's quirk.
