𝐇𝐎𝐖? ~ t.shigaraki

  "This is Y/N, everyone. She is interested in joining the League of Villians."

  You stood there awkwardly in front of 7 villians, including Shigaraki.

  "What's her quirk?" The teenager you now knew was Toga asked. You gave a small bow before explaining. "My quirk is indestructible. My skin doesn't get hurt. Say if someone punched me, I'd feel the punch but it wouldn't leave a bruise. If someone tried to cut me, I wouldn't bleed."

  "That's useless. If something hurt you bad enough you might just pass out from pain." Spinner, the one who looked like a lizard, said his thoughts loud and clear. "That's true. Shigaraki, she's weak. She has no usefulness to the League." Dabi glared at you as the words left his mouth.

  You barley knew their names and you already felt excluded. As much as you didn't want to admit it, their criticisms were true.

  "Should we test the limits of how much she can take?" Toga whipped out a sharp knife and gave you a devilish smile. The dark circles beneath her golden eyes only made her look even scarier and more deranged than she already was.

  "Let's not do that." You replied, giving a nervous smile. Kurogiri, a tall, shadowy figure, spoke this time.

  "Shigaraki you can't tell random people about the League. You also can't invite them to join us. Don't we have enough core members now anyway?" Shigaraki sighed, probably now regretting his choice, or so you thought.

  "Don't you guys see? She's the perfect choice! Y/N wouldn't be the one on the front lines, but doing the work luring the heros towards us! She can pose as a victim or captive to us and when the heros come running, that's when we act!"

  The League was silent. "Shiggy just wanted a cute girl to join us, anybody else already tied to the League could have done that job." Toga scowled at the blue-haired man and Shigaraki was not having it.

  "That's not the reason at all. Her quirk is perfect, if one of us messes up or gets hurt, she'll always be there to drag us away!"

  "Why not someone with a super strength quirk? Or someone with a quirk who was less likely to be slow-downed by the pain of an attack? You really didn't think this through." You looked down at your feet as Dabi's ice-blue eyes bore into you. Nobody seemed to like the idea of you joining the League of Villians, and their reasons for thinking so were completely understandable.

  "Well I'm still in charge, and Y/N's joining." The room fell silent again. Despite the warm glow of dim lights, the bar was ice-cold. All eyes were on you, and none of those eyes had looks of hope or admiration, only disappointment.

  Shigaraki turned to face you. "Make yourself at home. Until everyone can trust you, you have to stay here. It's to make sure you don't squeal to any cops or heros."

  You didn't notice because you had only just met him, but Shigaraki was being noticably soft with you. The 6 other people in the abandoned bar knew how he usually acted, and this wasn't it.

  "He must have something special he wants to do with her." Spinner mumbled to Toga, the blonde girl nodded in response.

  "I actually don't mind her joining- I HATE HER!" Twice suddenly belted. It was the first time since you entered the room that he had said anything.

  "Sounds like someone's warmed up to the idea of you." Shigaraki took a seat at the bar's counter. You were stuck in place and didn't know what to do now.

  You were officially a villian and you now had to spend your days with villians. Everything was so sudden, it happened very quickly.

  You wanted to go sit next to Shigaraki as he's the one who has shown you the most kindness, but you didn't want to come off as a suck-up. As a new member, you thought to yourself, you should stay away from the leader and get to know your partners in crime.. literally.

  Shigaraki had said something about Twice warming up to you, so you decided to strike up a conversation with him.

  "You go by Twice, right?" You ask the masked man. The top half of his covered face was grey and the bottom half was black. "Yes I'm Twice- NO I'M NOT!"

  You gave a sympathetic smile to the man. You didn't know exactly what was causing him to yell out contradictions, but you didn't like judging.

  "Y/N is a pretty name by the way. It's nice to have another girl in the League!" Twice was.. pure almost. You felt as if you wanted to protect him, and you wondered how a kind spirit like his wounded up as a villian. You had only just met him, but you felt connected to him. Hopefully you'd get along with the other members similarly.

  "Thank you. I'm assuming your real name isn't Twice, so what is it?"

  "It's Jin Bubaigawara."

  "That's such a unique name!"

  You and Twice carried on with small conversation until you noticed the sun coming up through dusty, cracked windows.

  "I've been awake for hours.. with little sleep." You yawned and looked around at everyone. Once you and Twice started talking, the other members around you guys slowly migrated over towards Shigaraki, presumably because they didn't want to engage with you.

  Seeing your face drop, Twice spoke up. "Give them time, they're not horrible once you get used to them- THEY'LL NEVER LIKE HER."

  You laughed quietly to yourself. "We don't have families outside of the League, so we are each other's family. Just give it time!"

  Even though the move from normal life to becoming a villian only happened within a few hours, something in you was ready for the future. You knew deep down that Twice wasn't lying, and you'd become part of the LOV family soon.
