Villainous Hero

23 | Meeting Them

I sent Kuro a sideways glance, he seems to be just as uneasy as I am. Both of us know what will happen if this keeps going.

"Kurogiri take care of these two. I can already tell they are exactly the kind of trash that I hate, a brat and a guy with no manners." Tomura gestured at the two strangers who stood in his bar.

Kuro spoke in his most soothing voice as if he was taming a cat who was about to scratch his human.
"Now now Tomura Shigaraki. They came all this way, the least we can do is hear them out. Besides this broker is respected in the Underworld. They're bound to be valuable assets."

Hearing himself being called "respected" Giran blew out a puff of cigarette smoke with a Cheshire like grin spread on his face.

"Like em' or not you still owe me a Finders Fee, in cash." Giran walked out from the doorway and stood with the two strangers.

"I suppose I could introduce the two of them before I head off." The grey-haired villain paused for dramatic effect. Then with the hand holding that toxic smelling cigarette, he motioned to the young blonde girl.

"This one looks like an adorable high school girl, right? She's actually the suspect in a series of deaths where all the victims bled out. So far her name and face have been kept out of the Media."

I spared a weary glance at Kuro. He was watching Tomura's reaction closely.

"Toga here! Himiko Toga! Life is too hard, I just wanna make it easier to live in this dumb world. I wanna be Mr. Stainy! I wanna kill Mr. Stainy! Come on Handy Man please let me join your League of Villains!" The girl exclaimed with a lot of enthusiasm.

There's no way I heard her correctly. Her voice and exited actions make her seem childish. Did she really just say those brash words while managing to make herself look childishly cute? She seems to be around my age too.

I am greatly disturbed.

"You gotta be kidding me, is she crazy?" Tomura spoke the words I wanted to say. For once we're on the same page.

Giran laughed at Tomura's statement.

"Well, she can hold a conversation, for the most part at least. Come on! She could be useful." He sounds like he's trying to sell her off to Tomura.

Buy one psycho and get this half fried murder free! No refunds.

I personally don't see how one crazed killer could be helpful. But it's Tomura's problem, not mine.

"And this guy! Hasn't committed any flashy crimes but has taken Stains ideology to heart." He gestured to the man with many scars.

His voice was as low and deep as I remembered it. I suppressed the urge to shiver.

"I don't like this, is your group really dedicated to the Hero Killer's mission? I can't imagine you are if you're gonna let this little psycho join you." Scarface stared pointedly at the girl beside him.

A sick short laugh erupted from my throat. Along with a sick smile as I gazed at the tall dark man.

"She may be a psycho but at least she knows how to introduce herself to people. Don't just stare what's your name?" Tomura spat out.

My sick smile widened to a toothy grin. This throwing around of insults is highly entertaining. Maybe I'll see some blood too.

"Right now, I'm going by Dabi."

"No, I want to know your real name." Tomura insists. Underneath the hand on his face, the bloodshot red eyes of his are squinting in a nonverbal death threat.
