"Now back to our top story. All hell broke loose in Hosu City last night when the League of Villains attacked the center of the city. Many pedestrians were caught up in the destruction but the actions of the heroes controlled the chaos that ensued and saved many lives. During the attack The Hero known as Native, and The Hero Killer, Stain were both murdered by one of the members of the League of Villains known now to the world as "Karma."

"Hey Queen," Twice called for Izumi who locked herself up in the bathroom with the water running. "You're on T.V."

"Leave her alone, Twice." Dabi said with a hardened stare. "She's trying to come down from the high and your praise isn't helping."

"Hah? I wasn't praising." Twice waved his hand in denial but then gave a thumbs up. "She's just awesome!"

"Will you two shut up with the banter." Tomura turned the volume up. The Reporter that stood in front of the alley where they found the bodies. "I can't hear what they're saying."

"There's been no official statements from the police, but there's been speculation about the League of Villains overall goal. According to eye witness Tenya Iida, a U.A. student interning with the hero Manual, the two villains had been collaborating in the attack on Native but a difference in morals had Stain turning on Karma. The young woman killed the Hero Killer and spared the young hero in training leaving him with only minor injuries before leaving the premises. Shortly thereafter the monsters vanished and all signs of the attackers with them."

"Tch," Tomura clicked his tongue. "I wanted kill at least one hero before calling the Nomu's back, but Karma insisted on retreating for the day."

"The damage was done, Stain was dead." Dabi shrugged. "Had we stayed any longer the heroes would have just gathered allies and probably destroyed the Nomus."

"The real question is now..." Kurogiri kept his eyes and ears trained on the screen. "What does the world think of us now that we've eliminated heroes and villains alike?"

"While it's unclear why Karma chose to spare Tenya, what we can be sure of is that the league is dangerous." Manual told reporters looking stern and grim. "With their motives and goals so chaotic and unclear no one should consider themselves safe in their presence. I implore all civilians if you have any information on the League please notify your local Pro Heroes immediately."

Tomura turned the T.V. off with a short laugh.

"There you have it. Chaos and confusion... it's freaking perfect."

"How is this perfect?" Dabi stuffed his hands in his pockets. "The goal was to align ourselves with Stain, but now that Karma has killed him no one knows what our motivation is and that's a problem."

"Is it?" Tomura stood up and pat the top of the T.V. "I think it's exactly the kind of reaction we were looking for. We're not heroes or vigilantes looking to seem noble or just in our actions. We're here to change the world, turn it on its head so that no one knows what's up and what's down. Karma's a fucking genius."

Dabi scowled and glanced back at the bathroom door. He wasn't sure the queen shared her King's sentiments.

~Izumi~

SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!

Izumi ran the water hot over her body, staring at her hands unable to get the sight of Iida's blood and traumatized expression out of her face.

What in the hell had she done?

Her plan of giving her team of villains structure and cause had failed spectacularly. Her motivations and Tomura's clashed at such a finite level that it was causing chaos and that wasn't the plan. She wanted to SAVE Tomura, she wanted to show him that there were people in this world that could understand him, befriend him, and support him in his endeavors. Just what sort of people would she bring under the league's wing if she was showing off nothing but chaos and confusion?
