    Summary

    Tomura had no idea what he would do. He was destined to be a villain. To some, he already was. And really, could he blame them? His quirk was as deadly as they came.

    But he didn't want to be a villain.

    Truthfully, he didn't know what he would be. If he was lucky, he would fade into the background, his past forgotten, his face one among millions.

    However, fate had different plans. Or maybe he was just lucky. Really, he would never know.

    Himiko Toga appeared one day. Downtrodden, alone. Just like him, told she would be a villain. Was ALREADY a villain, truthfully. Her second chance was fleeting, her fate seemingly hopeless.

    But she still had a smile. If not on her face, in her soul. She was determined to make a change, however she could.

    Shigaraki didn't know why, but she filled him with drive. Ambition. A single goal in his mind, without direction, but with tenacity and determination.

    He would be a hero. He would prove to everyone that he wasn't what they said of him, no matter the cost.

     

    (This is a rewrite of the original No Matter The Cost, which... has some problems. You don't need to read that for this to make sense.)
