Midori the Villain

Bad Mass Communication

"Are these the new recruits you mentioned?" Izumi sat on the bar, her legs crossed and her hands casually sharpening one of her throwing knives.

"Yes, the two on my right took interest after I told them which Hero death they'd be involved in. The other two are just looking for a solid team to partner with. Allow me to make introductions." Giran motioned to them one at a time.

"The name's Twice, nice to meet you!" The masked man said cheerfully and flipped them off at the same time. Izumi raised a curious brow at the gesture but smiled nonetheless. Villains often had a quirkiness about them... she'd just accept the gesture as is.

"Mr. Compress..." Giran motioned to the man beside Twice.

"I've seen your wanted posters..." Izumi murmured and leaned back on her hands eyeing the man carefully. Like her, he wore a mask that covered his face, and an elaborate magician's costume. "You specialize in thievery and escapes."

"That's right... I'm a master illusionist. A professional of my craft..." he stepped towards her with a knife... Dabi moved in to shield her but she held out her hand and motioned the man forward. He tossed the knife in the air and it became an elegant bouquet of roses. "For you, my queen." He bowed before her presenting her with the flowers.

"I would have preferred the knife as a gift..." she teased but accepted the bouquet slipping one rose out to mock sniff. "Still your chivalry and showmanship are appreciated. I can use a man of your talents for the stage I'm about to set."

"So I've heard..." He remained bowing. "I look forward to making magic with you, dear lady."

"And I you... Hmmm?" She looked to the final two. One man stood holding a camera bag over his shoulder, a traditional Japanese looking man with his only discernible feature being his wide black eyes that looked twice the size of a normal person. The second was familiar to her... taller and clearly a foreigner with his bright blonde hair, silvery gray eyes, and designer clothes. "I've seen you before. You're a reporter aren't you?"

"Yes he is ..." Giran jerked a thumb in their direction. "These are the ones I picked to meet the items on your criteria."

"Oh?"

"Their real names are Louis Koijirou and Jethro Utsushimi. However they're also well known throughout the black market as "Ace" and "Broadcast." Giran explained. "They head a small gang of informants that deliver dirt on heroes to other villains."

"It's a pleasure Miss Karma." Ace smiled and walked up to extend his hand out to her. "Giran says you've a plan that'll make headline news. I'm anxious to be a part of it all."

"If you're here to meet my criteria that must mean one of you has a truth inducing quirk... I take it as the reporter that's your expertise?" She smirked behind her mask.

"It is..." He removed his slender frame glasses. "Shall I demonstrate?"

"Not on her..." Dabi immediately stood in front of Izumi. "The Queen is off limits."

"Not as fun... but I'll take what I can get." Ace looked him directly in the eyes. "What's your name, sir?"

"I go by Dabi... but my real name is Touya. I'm the eldest son of Enji Todoroki." Dabi blinked and his face twisted up when he realized what was happening. "The hell?"

"Oh, is that so?" Ace smirked.

Villain Name: Ace

Quirk: Sincere Stare, once a person looks directly into his eyes they find themselves spouting the truth. The quirk only lasts for up to five minutes, but can be used multiple times in a row.
