Chapter Text
UA, the #1 hero school, the school that produces some of the top heroes, including the current #1 hero, All Might. You had never understood the "hero/villain" society. The constant fighting, the labeling, the hatred...the ranking. It all seemed pretty pointless, but in the end, everyone chooses a side. Everyone gets hurt in the end. It was all so tragic, like love never existed.
Now you're joining UA as a student to become the very thing that you hated... a Hero. It wasn't that you despised them, but the meaning of hero faded and the difference between hero and villain became a very fine line.
You had joined the League of Villains when you were 15, well more like saved by the League. Now you're 20, and a leader and member of the League. During those 5 years, you tried to regain your memory of your past, but it was always too painful. All you could remember was that AFO found you in what was your home, you could only remember fragments of what really happened. Each time you remembered your body felt as if your veins were twisting inside, your head spun, and the pain almost unbearable to the point you would blackout. Tomura Shigaraki, leader of the League, kept you in the shadows, knowing your full potential, knowing you're the perfect wild card, but also kept you from hurting yourself and others. Shigaraki kept you safe, despite him being a villain it felt he truly cared. Unless all he cared for was your quirk and power.
You rarely used your quirk because you were unsure what it was, and each time you did it was painful and if you used it past the pain you would immediately blackout and forget what happened. Although You knew truly little about your quirk, but one thing you knew was that it kept you ageless. You still looked like you were in your mid-late teens, never aging into an adult. But you knew there was more to your quirk, you just had to remember your past. To help you try to possibly remember Shigaraki put you on this mission, to infiltrate UA and plan the end of #1 hero All Might. He trusted you and knew you were ready to come out of hiding, and this was the perfect opportunity. You were ready for a serious mission, well you thought you were...
-----
You were put on the mission with the newbie, Denki Kaminari. He was a young kid that was specifically recruited for this mission. To seem less suspicious, you and Denki entered UA in different classes. You were placed into Class 1-B as (y/n) a "quirkless" girl with remarkable hand-to-hand combat and analysis skills. You entered as quirkless to not risk being caught, or unintentionally hurting others, but also this was your comfort zone, not having to be pressured to use your quirk that you barely knew how to use. If you were to enter using your quirk, you wouldn't know what to expect or who you might hurt.
Denki was placed into class 1-A, the hero course. He used his given name because he was unknown to society as a member of the League, to be honest, no one knew who he was. His quirk, electricity, caught UAs attention quickly in the entrance exams, so he was placed into 1-A immediately.
FIRST DAY
To keep your cover, you and Denki moved out of the LOV hideout into apartments a few blocks from UA. It was small and functional, a definite upgrade compared to the musty villain hideout. You had finished getting ready in your new UA uniform. "Ugh I guess this is what I'm wearing for the next year..." you said as you looked at yourself in the mirror. Your shoulder-length white hair was half up into a small bun, your UA uniform on with the tie loosened around your neck, and your backpack was thrown over your shoulder. You then looked directly at yourself in the eyes and saw your piercing red eyes look back. You siged, "I better put the contacts on to avoid attention". You grabbed the contacts and put them on disguising your red eyes. You looked again and saw your eyes were now (ur eye color). You shrugged and went to the kitchen to grab a piece of bread and a box of strawberry milk. You then heard someone outside.
"Hurry Up y/n" called out Denki outside your window. You rolled your eyes at him from above and rushed down to meet him.
"Well slow down Denks we're early, and also who said you can boss me around," you said with a smile and gave him a glance which gave Denki chills. He didn't know what your quirk was, no one really did, but knowing that Shigaraki noted to him that your quirk could possibly be one of the strongest to be known, he knew not to underestimate you.
For the mission, Denki is your adoptive brother since you were 8 years old, and came from the States to attend UA, but really you have known him for only 6 months...
(Flashback 6 months before the mission)
It was an average day at the LOV hideout. The hideout wasn't much, it was a rundown warehouse with abandoned furniture and a torn couch which you were laying on. It was always freezing and smelt like burned rubber, probably because of Dabi. He was always burning something. It wasn't like the LOV was rich, just an average villain group that lays low and has big ambitions.
"HEY MIKA, let's go." Said the scar-faced villain named Dabi. He was such a cold-hearted villain, you never knew what he had planned. Although he always seemed emotionless you always knew there was more to him. He was broken...a broken hero just like every other villain.
"Ugh... just die will you" you say tiringly as you sit up from the couch. You never slept at the hideout. You were either on a mission with Dabi or Shiggy to get some extra cash, or Shiggy wouldn't shut up and stop playing video games in the middle of the night. Sleep just seemed to never exist as a villain.
"Not today sweetheart, maybe another day, now common we gotta go out hunting," said Dabi with his annoying, yet iconic smirk.
You got up quickly grabbing your leather jacket to go over your white tee and jeans. You grabbed your black boots and quickly tying them to catch up with Dabi who was already heading out the door.
"REALLY HUNTING?!" you said excitedly with a glimmer in your eyes.
"No, you psycho, Boss wants us to go recruit a partner for your next mission."
"Aww, no fun... why does he want me to have a partner, I can go in alone." You say with a pout, knowing that going in alone for a long-term mission wouldn't be an option.
"Really now? Remember last time we sent you on a mission alone?" he says with a smirk.
"WHAT? HE LOOKED AT ME WEIRD. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, THERE WERE 15 PEOPLE DEAD AND A FIRE."
That one mission was just a simple bank robbery to get some cash, but one of the bank-tellers gave you a look. All you wore was just a simple leather jacket a white crop top and jeans, yet his eyes looked at you with pity and lust. The eyes of people that underestimated you annoyed you the most and his perverted look was the last straw. Because of his look you set the bank on fire and everyone in it with a simple match. In that mission, you didn't use your quirk once. Missions went smooth when you didn't use your quirk, hopefully, you didn't need it in this next mission.
You then thought to yourself, "maybe it is best if I had a partner"
Dabi just shook his head as he walked past you, "Tch, Good thing you're on our side."
"Always," you said with a smile running to jump onto Dabi's back.
You had been staying with Dabi, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri for about 5 years. To be honest, who knows how long it's been. One thing was for sure is that you found your home. As Your past memories slowly came back, they become less painful when you're with them. You could never repay Shigaraki, he was the one to take you in at your lowest when he could have killed you then and there. Now you are his right hand. You could never leave them. Even though the heroes may say we are villains, we still have a heart, not for everyone, but at the least for each other.
You finally arrived at the recruiting destination. It was a rundown warehouse a few blocks from the hideout. Outside was a line of around 100 lowlifes coming out the warehouse door. They all stood there at the side of the building, waiting eagerly to become a big-time villain. Apparently, Kurogiri sent out invitations into the underground villain world calling all those that had no life, unknown to society, and notably intelligent, he told them that they would be apart of the death of All Might. Every villain wanted to kill a Top Chart Hero. It was like the ultimate status for a villain.
Dabi went in first so that you wouldn't be seen with the notorious villain. Ever since you joined them, they had kept you a secret from society, you were a nobody, and being a nobody is useful in your guys' line of work. You often kept your head low and constantly changed identities, but being a nobody was going to end once you started this mission.
Before you went into the warehouse, you observed these potential partners and members of the League of Villains. Most were petty villains only in it for money, fame, or other shitty reasons. Out of these 100 that claim to be villains, only 5 were worth looking into. Without even approaching them you could easily analyze them with accuracy. From their threat rate to their possible weaknesses.
As you were observing everyone, a yellow-haired boy with a black streak running through it approached you with a big smile and said flirtatiously, "Hey sunshine, what you are doing at an event like this?" You rolled your eyes and showed him a scar that you had on your neck. He took a step back in shock and said "NO WAY....SORRY BOSS" he then ran off to get back in the line.
The scar was a mark of loyalty in the LOV, it was actually your idea when you first joined. Only a few live to see the mark and it's one thing the heroes don't know about. Luckily this kid was one of the 5 that caught your interest, or else he wouldn't have lived to see it again.
You took note of the 5 that caught your eye before heading inside to meet Dabi. Once you entered, the smell of burned wood hit you, that smell always seemed to follow Dabi. You noticed a large crate where Dabi sat on top of, he was playing with his blue flames in his hands. The rest of the warehouse was empty and cold, and the sound of your boots hitting the cold pavement filled the room. Dabi waved for you to come next to him and once you were beside him all the participants entered. You looked at Dabi and gave him the piece of paper with names.
He opened the note and read the names. He looked at you with a puzzled face and said, "Are you sure?", you simply nodded a yes, "Alright then."
"ALRIGHT LOSERS", Dabi announced to the group. Everyone stood in silence as you took the list from Dabi and stepping forward to speak,
"Welcome everyone, My name is Mika I am the second head of the LOV, my quirk well that's a secret that no one lives to tell" You said with a grin. The silence became cold as everyone's eyes stared at you. They were all so serious, seeing you as the biggest threat in the room.
"hm guess they didn't like that joke" you thought to yourself. You then continued,
"Alright I'm going to call names and if your name is called step forward, once I am finished everyone else go into that room." You announced as you pointed toward a room at the back of the warehouse and then began to read the list.
"HIMIKO TOGA"
Quirk: unknown, but could be lethal
Threat rate: 7/10 (depending on quirk)
Weakness: bloodlust
Her bloodlust atmosphere caught your attention, although it is her weakness. Bloodlust could be blinding, but we can fix that when she joins the league. She's a young blonde girl that had a crazy look in her eyes as she stepped forward. It seemed her choice of weapon was a knife. "hm I feel like we would get along, but she can't enter UA" you noted to yourself.
"TWICE"
Quirk: possibly cloning or split personality
Threat rate: 6/10
Weakness: himself
He was an interesting guy. Older than the others, but he had the energy of a child. It seemed he had a split personality, often seen talking to himself. His quirk was being able to make clones of himself or others. It was a useful quirk, one that shouldn't be wasted, yet he's too old for UA.
"SPINNER"
Quirk: Lizard
Threat rate: 5/10
Weakness: Loyalty to stain.
He was some type of lizard dude. He was interesting, I guess. He was loyal to Stain, like most of these wannabe villains. But he wasn't a potential partner, he stood out too much. Although He could be useful in the future. He seemed smart and possibly good at planning attacks.
"MR.COMPRESS"
Quirk: my guess Compress
Threat Rate: 7/10
Weakness: wants attention
He was a masked man that seemed like he was formerly a magician and performer. His quirk was well, compress. He would be especially useful in the future, especially for get aways. From the looks he would stand out and could possibly be older than he seems
"LASTLY, DENKI KAMINARI"
Quirk: electricity
Threat Rate: 7/10
Weakness: unknown
The yellow-haired boy that you met in line. He was young, around the same age as Toga. He had a bright atmosphere, friendly, unexpected for a villain. "He is a perfect partner for the mission." You thought as you saw his bright hair come forward as he took his place beside Mr. Compress.
"only five were chosen that's only one-tenth of the people here" yelled someone from the back. The crowd mumbled in agreement. You rolled your eyes at this kid's comment, might as well have fun with it.
"AHH I see it does seem a little unfair... how about this...pick one of these 5 to fight and if you win... you take his or her spot."
This kid must have either wanted to show off or was really confident. "That's why he wasn't chosen," you mumbled. He went forward and said "I ACCEPT, AND I CHOOSE DENKI KAMINARI."
You were kind of shocked by his choice, with this kid's stature he was well built and could easily physically win a fight with Himiko Toga. But Toga's atmosphere when she entered a room is filled with blood lust, which threatens anyone coming her way. His choice of Denki was like a wild card. Denki's atmosphere was almost childlike but unpredictable. It was warm, so what is a kid like him doing here. His unpredictability and warm atmosphere are what drew you to him. He is the perfect wild card.
When Denki heard his name he just shrugged and faced his opponent with a smile. The kid announced to him, "Sorry man I need this, so I'll try to end it quickly"
Denki then smiled at him again and said "Nah man don't worry about it...I also need this too so..." He pointed two fingers with his right hand like a gun toward him and electricity shot at the kid causing him to be stunned and fall back instantly. Effortlessly, Denki smiled and looked toward the others and said, "... I win."
"Not bad" whispered Dabi into your ear as he watched Denki.
You watched in awe and then replied," HA, yea not bad at all..."
You then looked at Dabi as you both started to step down off the crate, "I want him as my partner...but also keep track of the others they can be useful later."
Dabi just nodded and then continued to make sure the rest of the wannabe villains went into the room.
"Is that all of them?"
"Yea they're all there."
"Alrighty..." said Dabi as his blue flames burned in his hand. He then touched the room door causing it to light on fire, eventually burning the room and everyone in it. The 5 new members looked at you and Dabi with fear, but also astounded.
You watched the flames consume the rest of the building with you, Dabi, and the 5 newbies still inside. The fumes of the fire filled the building becoming intoxicating. The blue flames becoming overwhelmingly hot giving you an adrenaline rush through your veins. You could feel something in the fire, you couldn't explain it but it was...relaxing. You could hear the cries of the other villains fade and the coughs of the 5 newbies get louder.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?... SHES COMPLETELY SANE" said Twice
The others were in shock unsure what to do. Toga stood there coughing with a smile, and Denki was beside her calm and unbothered. It seemed Toga was just completely psychotic, but Denki he seemed that he trusted the League, or he was just as psychotic as Toga.
"I am clearly insane Twice, we cant just leave witnesses...now our exit should be here right about..." you paused for a minute looking at your watch.
"...Now" you said perfectly as Kurogiri's portal appeared. You step in first meeting Shigaraki's hand, as the rest followed. his hand felt dry and cold, it was something you got used to.
"Welcome back..." said Shigaraki as he pulled you through the portal.
"Nice to be back Crusty" you say as you give him a kiss on his dry cheek.
You sat beside Shigaraki at the bar observing the newbies, as they introduced themselves. Everyone went through their introductions; name, quirk, age, the reason they were villains, ya know all that boring shit. You didn't necessarily find it "boring", it was just that you already found out most of the information when observing them. Except for Denki Kaminari, he was a complete mystery. When you were observing, he never spoke about himself or shared any information. But at the hideout he surprisingly shared everything...
"The names Denki Kaminari, I'm 16 years old. My quirk is Electricity, it has some... downsides. When I overuse my quirk or pass my max voltage, I short circuit. And uh the reason I became a villain? Hmmm well I grew up in an Orphanage, a real shitty place. Everyone thought I was stupid, and my quirk was only for being a charger... I was more than that. Being a hero would've been stupid of me, the heroes couldn't even save my family, so why would I want to be one of them. I want to help create a world where I'm not looked down on, not by snobby heroes and their wealth, or by the people with more "suitable" quirks."
"Well nice to meet you Denks, I can call you that right? I'm Mika. I'm 20 years old, and well my quirk... I don't have one" you lied about your quirk. Only Shigaraki knew about your quirk, and it was best if only he knew until the time was right.
"WHAT!" Denki said in shock, about both your age and quirk.
Ever since then you and Denki spent time together. Training, talking, and going over the mission. He had become a little brother to you. You were happy that he was going to be your partner in your debut mission. He became more than just a partner. He became part of the League, which you also called family.
(End of flashback)
You both continued to walk to UA, talking about what the school will be like and who you'll get to meet but mainly of all you spoke about completing the mission, and emergency protocols. This mission was a huge risk. Infiltration isn't always successful, but you knew you can pull it off. You worried for Denki, considering he's new and he was so friendly, you didn't know his full motive for this mission. Did he really want to help the League, or will he get emotionally attached? This mission was most of all emotionally risky, but you were ready for any possibility even if it cost your best friend's life.
Just as you both stood at the UA gates you realized that you had been talking to Denki so much about the mission that you didn't realize that you were late. You then checked your watch,
"OH SHIT DENKS WE REALLY ARE LATE" you start to run and give a quick wave to Denki as you ran into the school bumping into a green-haired boy, who fell over. You quickly apologized as you ran past him.
"Damn it I can't be late on my first day...", you say as you roamed the halls lost. Everyone had found their classes already, so the halls were empty. Just as you were about to head into a classroom you realized the class said 1-A, so you turned around and sighed in frustration,
"UGH I DIDNT EVEN CHECK WHERE MY CLASSROOM IS " You yelled in the empty halls, taking a look at your class schedule. "Class 1-B" it said beside your name.
"ughh I'm so stupid" you sighed as you leaned against a wall.
"Yea no shit ", said a voice down the hall. It caught you off guard, so you quickly stood and look to see who was there. You walk over and it was a blond-haired boy with terrible posture and with his hands shoved in his pocket. As you got closer, he looked up and you noticed his eyes were red as rubies, but it was almost as if you got too close, he would bite you like some type of dog. He was surprisingly good-looking and very well built, but you could sense his temper was a problem. You took a mental note as you analyzed him,
Quirk: unknown
Class: 1A
Threat rate: 6/10 (physical strength only)
Weakness: temper, ego
You didn't remember when or where you learned to analyze this way, but it came naturally. That's how you were able to spot out Denki and the others. At first, you wrote everything down, but now you just memorize and visualize everyone's stats. This angry Pomeranian's stats weren't so impressive at a glance, but you noted to keep an eye out for him.
To mess with his ego, you replied with a sarcastic tone, "Well, if you're some type of smart-ass, can you show me where my class is?" He just stood there, smirked, and then pointed to the directory. You just scoffed and rolled your eyes and said thanks as you marched toward the directory.
"HEY DUMBASS"
You turn around quickly with anger and yelled back, "WHAT? YOU KNOW I HAVE A NAME? WOULDNT IT BE KIND OF YOU TO ASK?"
He then replied calmly, "Well, that's what I was going to do but now you're stuck with the name dumbass..." You looked at him in unbelief of what he said and just turned around to leave but then you hear,
"Hey dumbass, the name is Katsuki Bakugou, future #1 hero ... now don't expect to run into me anymore just because I gave you my name."
You just looked at him and laughed at how ridiculous his answer was, but you weren't surprised considering how big his ego is.
You looked at him and replied, "I hope I don't run into you anymore... and if I do my name is y/n, not dumbass you got that!"
You turned around to walk away but you had to say one last thing just to get on his nerves and show that you aren't just some dumbass.
"HEY BAKU! if we do run into each other again..." you then smiled and said "...you will be the one that knows the future #1..." you then said in your head, "#1 villain that is"
He was furious, sparks began to form in his hands, and he began to charge toward you yelling, "YOU DUMBASSS"
As he came toward you, you stood there as if he wasn't a threat and that angered him more. Just as his fist was about a foot away from your face a spikey redhead grabbed him. The red-headed boy turned solid, not that he wasn't already muscular, but he literally turned into a rock. Bakugou knew it was him so he swung his hand at his face and an explosion went off. The red head just took the explosion to the face like it was normal.
"Hm...his quirk increased his threat rate to 8/10... and this red head,
Quirk: hardening
Class: 1A
Threat rate: 7/10
Weakness: kindness
Ah his weakness is his downside. Would've been great in the league..." you sighed to yourself.
After the smoke cleared the redhead just did an apologetic smile with his sharp-pointed teeth and said, "Sorry about that, names Ejirou Kirishima and I bet you already know this hot head's name" Bakugou just grumbled beside him as Kirishima had an arm around his shoulder.
"nice to meet you I'm-, "the class bell interrupted you.
"well, we better get to class, nice to meet ya," said Kirishima with a bright smile and a wave goodbye, as he rushed off with Bakugou.
As they left you went to the school directory to find your class, you saw that your class was on a completely different floor. You thought to yourself, "Wow I am a real dumbass."
