Villains lurk in the shadows

________________________________

In a dark dilapidated apartment, trash was strewn about, and the smell of blood that could even deter the rats hung in the air. However, surprisingly a man was still living inside it. Leaning against the window he watched people out the window while smoking a cigarette.

The filled ashtray next to him showed it was often he gazed out of that window, the yellowing ceiling hinting about his unhealthy habits.

"That guy... He always goes to work the same way" The man breathed a mouthful of smoke, his voice was surprisingly not very raspy. But that wasn't much of a surprise as he was relatively young.

The man's name was Jin Bubaigawara, and as you probably guessed he is the villain known as 'twice'. Due to the fact All Might hasn't retired yet made his deteriorating mind a bit more stable as he still clung to the hope he might be saved by him but--

"Nonono- he wasn't there yesterday! Of course, he was! Oui dumbass use your eyes!" Jin suddenly began arguing with himself, his shattered personality fighting amongst itself.

******************************************

It's been 3 months since that incident... And ever since I haven't gotten any quiet... No, it was 2 months no! It was last year! Ugh... Now all I'm getting are constant headaches. I feel like I want to put a bag over my head to shut them up... Rude...

What happened? Well, my quirk is very unique... As the doctor called it, it allows me to create a copy of anything I can accurately imagine. And by copies, I mean almost the same thing, and you wanna know the most powerful part? I can create living things. And lo and behold I thought I had a great idea

Create clones of myself to be my workers... They do my chores while I sit there and do nothing... But I guess being able to copy things meant copying feelings too. As my copies began opposing my views

Soon enough they began believing themselves to be the original... And then a fight broke from said belief... The good thing about the clones is their reduced durability... But seeing them rip each other's limbs apart...

Soon I was the only one left... Am I even the original? I don't know anymore...

Calm down... Pfft weak... I'm hungry.. stop talking... Haha... Do you think we should get a job? Where would we get--

I held my head again, those voices won't shut up. I chose to run away and hide... Maybe I hope someone saves me... Like I don't know... Uhhh All Might but...

["There has been a noticeable reduce in All Might's sightings... Is there something strange going on? This evening on-"]

Yeah, scratch that... As if he'd go and try to save me pfft... You can always hope... Like All Might would want to save you eck.

Putting out the cigarette I put on a jacket before going outside... I need a breath of fresh air... Ironic

....

Ever since the League of Villains attacked the hero's side of things have been starting to look bleak. You no longer see as many enthusiastic heroes running around, most of them just look like they're going to work.

I wouldn't blame them either, All Might isn't as active anymore, and Endeavor... Well he isn't exactly a good model

*Crash* *WeeeWoooWeeeWooo*

****************************************

Right in broad daylight the shop down the street was robbed, smashing out of the window the robber held the entire cash register in his hands. But the pedestrians didn't even run away, some even pulled out their phones.

Jin, too just stayed and watched, a cigarette in his mouth blowing smoke as the villain ran away... For his size his speed was impressive. Fortunately, a hero went in front of him trying to stop the villains

"Stop! You are under arr-" but before the hero could even get his words out, another villain hit him over the head with a pipe. Climbing onto a truck they all began to run away, not before announcing their villain team...?

Jin, seemingly completely uninterested began making his way down an alleyway. His gaze seemed empty but still deep in thought however it was interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing

"Hello?" Jin asked on the phone

["It's been a while Jin, have you considered my offer?"] The voice on the other side was none other than Giran, working for the League of Villains.

"Uh... Maybe... No! Yes huh? Dammit, shut up!" As soon as Jin was about to answer he was hit with another headache as voices flooded his mind, collapsing onto his knees he tried his best to keep his phone from slipping from his hands

["I see you are having trouble---"]

"I accept! I accept your offer! Dammit," Jin shouted out loud, not knowing his impulsive decision just decided his fate. Giran, who was smiling over the phone promptly ended the call

Jin, who finally had time to breathe leaned onto the wall before pulling out a mask, staring at it intently he finally put it on

"Exposed we fight each other... But covered up we become one... Twice..." Twice muttered before coming out of the other side of the alleyway, right in front of a horrifying scene. The truck that just committed robbery was flipped upside down, half its body missing and lit on fire.

But the most upsetting this was the villains... Or rather their corpses. As if welded to the steel the skin seamlessly blended with the car or rather.... As if someone overhauled it.

"absolutely Disgusting"

**********************************************

"Welcome UA students, I am your favorite furry friend Nezu! Now today I woke up and my fur itched veeeerrryyy much! I found out I am lacking vitamin D! Remember to always make sure you have enough zinc and iron and---"

"Is this an actually serious announcement or what? I'll kick this rat's face in if it wasn't" I muttered while yawning. The cold morning winds blew my hair, brushing against Jiro and making her jolt

"And now I'll have Hound Dog deliver the next announcement" Nezu soon stepped down from the stage before snuggling up in Aizawa's scarf. Hound Dog climbed up the stairs before grabbing the microphone however only unintelligible barking sounds were heard from him.

"Sorry, What Hound Dog was saying is that we recently received news of students fighting on school grounds. We UA do not condone violence especially those using a quirk. The students were already punished but please remember... Don't try something" Glad who quickly covered for Hound Dog began saying, his voice becoming more and more menacing as he continued talking. The silence after the announcement was palpable

"You are dismissed"

........

"Oui Bakumaid, you got an announcement just for you"

"Shut up Rimuru, at least I won. That's all that matters in the end" Bakugo retorted exasperatedly, Rimuru teased him for who knows how many times and he won't fall for it again.

"You won? Didn't All Might have to intervene between your fight?"

"Who told you that? Bastard!"

"A passing by bird whispered me a song"

"Ummm Rimuru... Birds don't understand human speech" I was suddenly interrupted from my argument with Bakugo, I turned my gaze at Kota

"Why are you here?"

"This is the hallway"

******************************************

"Kekek! Did you hear? I heard that class 1-A had not one but TWO failures in the exams! Hahahahahahahhahah!" Walking by the locker room the class was stopped by the maniacal laughter of Monoma, of course, he was stopped by Itsuka's giant hand but it didn't stop the gazes from class 1-B from stinging.

Right outside the building as the UA students were returning to the building a trio of seniors were walking together.

"Hey hey! I heard the two students were from class 1-A! Did you know?" The senior continuously tapped on the other's shoulder until he enlisted a reaction.

"Hoho? so They're from the hero course, Nejire?" Mirio's face bloomed into a smile upon hearing her words.

.............

Class 1-A stared at Aizawa waiting for him to begin talking.

"Like usual today we'll be having regular classes starting today. I'm sure you've already heard this but we're starting to shift gears and focus on duties as students. So no outside curriculum for today." Aizawa finished up his words sighing a bit before continuing.

"While I may not like it but this semester you'll have to work much harder than before"

Mina who was listening suddenly though of an idea

"He's not talking about th-"

"Talking about what Ashido?" Aizawa's eyes glowed red as he stared with clear dangerous intent at Mina causing her to jump in her seat.

"No-nothing!"

Before Aizawa could scold Mina, Tsuyu raised her hand to ask a question. Putting a finger on her lips

"Can you explain what Nezu said during the opening ceremony. What's the Hero internships?" At the same time Momo raised her hand as well, continueing off of her question.

"They mentioned it had something to do with upperclassment. Are we going to have to worry about anything?"

Aizawa hearing their questions sighed deeply before starting to explain.

"The hero internships are just like the work studies you did a few months ago. Of course this time it will be closer to the real thing"

The class hearing 'the real thing' realized that he meant "being a real hero/sidekick" making them jump in excitement.

"Just remember that getting an offer is basically the same like the one during the sports festival... Don't test your luck" Aizawa added throwing sand at the fire in their hearts.

"I'm so f*cked"

Kaminari wiped a tear from his eyes. While Bakugo was having a serious case of PTSD from best jeanist

*******************************************

"Trash duties trash duties trash duties" Midoriya ran around the dorm building singing his little song. He was late to collect the garbage and now has to dump it in the collective garbage disposal... Wherever that is...

"Where is it?" Midoriya asked himself not expecting an answer, however a face on the wall was more than willing to answer

"It's straight and to the right!" Slowly turning his gaze like a fish caught out of water Midoriya stared deadpan at the human face sticking out of the concrete wall.

"Huh... Right..."

Not even asking any questions Midoriya went straight on with a deadpan expression however it all crumbled as the face suddenly appeared on the floor.

"It's so cool to finnaly meetcha! I was curious about your reaction so sorry for the scare teehe" Mirio smiled mysteriously while staring at Midoriya, the cryptic untone of his words caught Midoriya

"Ah right... Who are you?" Midoriya tried to ask however the face on the floor didn't act very cooperative

"You'll know soon enough! Attcha boy! You've got garbage to diss!"
