Control (Overhaul X Reader)

Chapter 13

Your ears still hurt after a myriad of reporters asked you about the kidnapping of your sister. You were just relieved the Shie Hassaikai managed to pull you out of that mess as you drove away from any potential prying eyes or ears, and for the first time ever, you found solace in Overhaul's mere presence beside you. 

"Shigaraki Tomura... What is he like?" You asked.

"Not as mature as you would think. He's very vocal about his goal of destroying the hero society but has no concrete plan. It was a little unexpected to find him leading the League of Villains but coming from an organization consisting of crazies, it shouldn't be too surprising. The only reason why I believe many villains have joined and stayed is because they want to follow Hero Killer Stain's vision... "

You nodded slightly as you took a mental note of this. You had always been interested in meeting All for One before he was thrown into Tartarus but you supposed meeting his successor should be intriguing as well. If he was immature, you would have to be patient and show understanding. 

"Did he tell you what he wanted to see me for?"

"No, but I suppose he'll most likely want your financial support for his organization."

"What would you think if I chose to support them?"

"I think you should definitely accept their offer. Right now, they are the biggest known villain organization in Japan, and it would be a waste not to take that to your advantage. They have many promising members that can help carry out difficult tasks for you. Having both the yakuza and the League of Villains behind you would make you the most powerful woman in this country."

You raised your brow, surprised he was encouraging you to work with a potential rival.

"You have no qualms about me working with them? I know you've partnered up for now but eventually the villains will want to be the ones to rule the underworld. Unless you find a way to coexist peacefully..."

You doubted that All for One's successor would just let the Shie Hassaikai rule the underworld without a fight and you weren't fond of the idea of being stuck in between.

"I appreciate your concern but that's not something you need to think about now. We'll handle it. What matters now is that you manage to get their support."

"Unlike the yakuza, most of the villains are known and wanted. It would be even more risky for my reputation if anyone catches a connection between us."

"I've considered this, and not only could it harm your name but many of the members aren't stable. They torture and kill for fun and won't even care what their victim could offer them. They're sick. It would be way too dangerous for you to deal with them directly, especially since you are quirkless. Let me manage them for you. I know how to use them efficiently."

"You're setting quite a daunting task ahead of you."

"Have I ever let you down?"

"No, you haven't."

"Then leave it to me."

You nodded, feeling a little calmer now. It was strange to think that your most trusted advisor now was Overhaul. Of course, you didn't trust him completely, but when it came to assigning him tasks, he always fulfilled them. And if he had even more capable members from the League of Villains, who could possibly stop you with them on your side?

Much to your confusion, you noticed you were heading towards your home.

"Why are we going to my house?"

"You need to wear something else." Golden eyes trailed over your body disapprovingly. 

"My clothes are the least of my worries right now. We shouldn't let Shigaraki wait since he could still kill my sister if we dawdle too long."
