Father Figure (BNHA)

Bunny

Iida stared at the two villains. The green one was bent over Stain's body, whispering something under their breath to the dying man. The red one, however, seemed to be used to the others behaviour and approached the paralysed hero student.

They crouched down and nodded his head towards the hero, Native. "Is he dead? Not that it matters. It's just a body. Nothing to worry about right? I wasn't even the one to do it. It really doesn't matter. Ignore me."

"Hey, I think he's dead now." The green villain called, poking Stain's body as he lay, lifeless, on the cold, stone floor. "Serves him right for denying us, and I put so much effort into persuading him too."

The red one stood up, ignoring Iida as he turned to the other. "He could probably tell you didn't like him. How many of your kills did he get credit for? At least two right."

The green one shrugged. "Two or three of mine. One of ours. Don't forget to include yourself on that one, I couldn't have killed Endeavour without your help."

Iida felt another ball of rage digging into his chest. These villain talk about killing as though it were nothing, talking about killing the number two hero as though it was as unimportant as doing their homework.

Not to mention, the green one, who now stood, tall and proud, above him, had killed Tensei.

"Hey, what do we do with him? Do we kill him?" Iida felt a foot dig into his side as the red one spoke.

He felt four eyes focus down on him, piercing into the back of his head.

"No, I don't think so. Besides, if he dies, then he can't tell anyone who really killed his brother, and Endeavour, of course. We should probably give him villain names, though I don't really have one. Dad doesn't like people knowing about me."

Dad? So, a villain family? Did this mean Tensei was killed by a kid?

"Huh. Me neither. I'm still pretty new to it."

"Well, it's been a few months, though I guess you haven't done much yet. Any ideas?"

Iida could feel their eyes digging into his head. Who ever they were, they seemed to want his suggestions. He had to name the villains that killed his brother?

"He isn't talking. Do you think he'd answer me if I stabbed him?"

"I thought we were keeping him alive."

"Maybe his hand?"

Something pricked against Iida's skin and he wished he could yank his hand away from them, to get away from the monsters that stood over him.

"You're both monsters." He managed to say, and the pick on his skin disappeared.

"Hey, that gives me an idea. How about Pheonix, for you. And-"

"Bunny. Or Rabbit."

Even from where he was lying, Iida knew how the green one was glaring at his partner in crime.

"You jump around a lot when you're fighting and you're really fluffy and-"

"I'm not cute."

"Didn't say you were." Though he seemed to be laughing as he spoke.

"No, don't tell anyone I'm called Bunny. I refuse to be know as-"

"Time to go, Bunny!"

"No!"

Iida could hear shouting as Pheonix dragged Bunny after him.

Todoroki sat with a grin on his face as he read the news the next morning.

"I hate you." Izuku sat opposite him, slowly eating his cereal.

"No you don't, Bunny."

Even the usually stone cold Kirishima cracked a smile as he read Izuku's new villain name.

Tomura found it hilarious too, though he was more careful about laughing in front of Izuku. Poor kid was going to get laughed at plenty, with a villain name like that.

He also had more urgent things to worry about. Izuku and Todoroki, or, rather, Bunny and Pheonix, were now known to be responsible for Stain's death.

And they were getting new recruits today, ones that followed Stain and his ideals.

If Bunny and Pheonix were connected back to the league, not only would they loose any new recruits, but they would also become a target for Stain's fans.

Which meant that Izuku and Todoroki were going to need new outfits, villain names, and everything else that would connect them to the murder.

This was going to be annoying to organise.

Giran practically spent the whole day travelling to and from the league's bar.

First, he had to supply new weapons, then, new villain costumes (rather boring, ordinary ones. Basic black clothing, with hoods and lines of red or green, outlining the panels of fabric and simple masks). Then, he had to bring the recruits in, one group at a time.

Currently, he was bringing in the final group. Twice, a villain the league had previously used, Toga, a young serial killer who Giran suspected may work well with the three children who seemed to be in the league, and Dabi, who one of the children had previously asked about.

This was the group he was the most certain would work in the league, the one he felt would fit in most. And most of the previous recruits he had brought in had been accepted, so this group should be fine.

Toga ran into the bar, in front of the others. Giran tried to call her back, but she seemed too excited. Perhaps he shouldn't have told her about the three other villains around her age.

By the time the other three arrived, Toga was already talking to one of them, who was wearing the same black and green outfit he had brought in earlier that day.

The green villain didn't seem so keen on the conversation, and the red and black villain seemed even less pleased.

"Ah! Giran! These are the last ones?" The green villain shook Toga off the first chance he got and walked up to Giran while the red villain stood on, victoriously.

"Nice to meet you! No it isn't!" Twice shouted.

Dabi stayed silent, eyes scanning the room carefully.

"Twice, nice to see you again. And you must be Dabi. Thank you for bringing him, Giran, I've wanted to talk to him for a while."

The red villain seemed to perk up at the villains name and he walked forward too, until he was stood directly in front of the burnt villain, his face unreadable under the faceless mask.

"I'm Hemlock, this is Sub-zero." He indicated to the villain, still staring up at the blue flame villain.

"He is." Sub-zero muttered. "It is him."

Hemlock looked up at Dabi. "I thought so. The quirk matches up, plus following Stain. It all lines up." Hemlock suddenly turned to Grian, as though he just remembered he was there. "You can go now."

Giran shrugged and left, unaware of what was about to happen.
