Chapter Text
Izuku opened his phone as he lay in his bed, listening to Tsuyu's calm breathing. She had fallen asleep almost as soon as Izuku had released his hug, for which he could hardly blame her.
He opened up the chatroom he and his girlfriends shared, which Mina currently had named "Separation Anxiety can Kiss My Ass".
Hottest Piece of Ass at UA: So, how was your guys day?
Hottest Piece of Ass at UA: Oh my god Mina why
Queen Bitch: Hey hey Midori!
Hottest Piece of Ass at UA has changed their name to Izuku
Queen Bitch: Awww that was a great name!
Izuku: You being the admin of this chat was a mistake
Queen Bitch: I guess you're right, that title probably belongs to me
Queen Bitch: and it was not! I run this chat like a well oiled machine
Tall GF: Is that what it is?
Tall GF: Oh

Queen Bitch has changed Bad Dragon's name to Big Dragon
Queen Bitch: Sorry typo
Tall GF 2: MINA
Big Dragon: I guess this is fine
Queen Bitch: Oh wait
Queen Bitch has changed Big Dragon's name to BDOC
Queen Bitch: The D stands for dragon
Tall GF 2: I don't know why you needed to clarify that
Miruko Cosplayer: cough
BDOC: Anyway
BDOC: Ochako that name
BDOC: Did you get your costume?
Miruko Cosplayer: See for yourself!
Miruko Cosplayer has sent an image
Izuku's eyes went wide as the picture loaded, showing off her new Miruko-inspired costume. He felt his quirk growl in approval and a tightness grow in his chest as he ran his eyes over the way the costume emphasized her body.
BDOC: Oh my god
Tall GF 2: Oh my god
Queen Bitch: I can't believe I have to wait until Saturday to have you crush my head between those thighs
Tall GF 2: …
BDOC: Big same
Miruko Cosplayer: Thanks guys
Tall GF 2: …
Miruko Cosplayer: I'm blushing so hard rn
Queen Bitch: Its okay Momo this is a safe space, you can be horny here
Tall GF 2: I don't know if my thoughts are appropriate for this chat
Queen Bitch: Those sound like exactly the type of thoughts I want to hear
Miruko Cosplayer: Momo I want to kiss you so badly
BDOC: Also same
BDOC: But Ochako that's pretty bold for you
Miruko Cosplayer: I guess Miruko is rubbing off of me
Queen Bitch: I know I want to rub on you
BDOC: Can anyone else change the name of the chat?
BDOC has changed the chatroom's name to Real Horny Mina Hours
BDOC: neat
Queen Bitch: Rude
Queen Bitch: But also very true
Queen Bitch has sent an image
Mina had sent a picture of herself in the mirror, showing off her own new costume. The slit in the cheongsam exposed and emphasized her healthy, toned thighs and generous backside, which was further highlighted by her pulling her shorts halfway down and exposing her supple pink skin.
Izuku flexed his quirk across his legs out of reflex.
BDOC: Oh my god
Miruko Cosplayer: Oh my god
Queen Bitch: HA! Now you're all horny too
Queen Bitch: What do you think Momo
Tall GF 2: You won't judge me, right?
BDOC: Never
Miruko Cosplayer: No
Queen Bitch: Nope
Tall GF 2: Okay...
Tall GF 2: Mina I think I want to spank you
BDOC: Mo
Miruko Cosplayer: I can't blame you, that's a whole lotta butt
Queen Bitch: And here I thought I couldn't get hornier
BDOC: Mo I love you so much
Miruko Cosplayer: Mina you can always get hornier
Tall GF 2: I almost threw my phone across the room after I typed that
Queen Bitch: Saturday can't come soon enough
BDOC: Okay, sorry to bring the mood down but I gotta change the subject
BDOC: Uh, how was your guys days
Miruko Cosplayer: It was good
Queen Bitch: Ryukyu and Hadou are monsters
Miruko Cosplayer: I have new bruises on top of my old bruises but I feel like I'm learning a lot
Queen Bitch: Midori how do you keep up with these women
Queen Bitch: I hurt in places I didn't know I had and they barely look tired
Miruko Cosplayer: She's teaching me how to land so I don't rely on my boots as much
Queen Bitch: Momo are you typing a novel there
Miruko Cosplayer: We went on patrol today and she had to hold back pretty hard to let me keep up but seeing her in action is amazing
Queen Bitch: Oh I totally punched a villain in the jingle bells today it was awesome
Tall GF 2: Sir Nighteye is a stern, but effective teacher. I have so far avoided being subjected to the 'Tickle Machine', perhaps because I threatened to press charges if he did. He's helped me think about things that I hadn't ever done before and pointed me toward some new creations that could help shore up some weakness he's identified. On the other hand, Togata is one of the nicest men I've ever met. He's a shining example of what a hero should be and he's helped me notice some other problems I have. Their experience is invaluable and I can't wait to show you all what I've learned.
Queen Bitch: Oh you were typing a novel
Miruko Cosplayer: 'The jingle bells?'
BDOC: That sounds amazing, Mo
Queen Bitch: He deserved it, don't worry
Miruko Cosplayer: How did your day go, Deku?
Tall GF 2: Yes, I'm curious as well. How is Tsu doing?
BDOC: Uh… well…
Queen Bitch: Spill it, Midori
BDOC: Let's say that Mina won the bet.
Tall GF 2: Bet?
Miruko Cosplayer: Oh about telling her your secret?
Queen Bitch: What happened.
BDOC: Well, we just got back from UA, actually. I had to take her to RG for healing
Tall GF 2: Oh no!
Miruko Cosplayer: Did something happen?
Queen Bitch: Are you okay?
BDOC: I'm fine, thanks to Tsu
BDOC: I had another episode
Tall GF 2: You mean…?
BDOC: Defiant got out of hand, yeah
Miruko Cosplayer: Explain. Now.
Queen Bitch: ...
Tall GF 2: He's been typing a while
Queen Bitch: I can't take the suspense
BDOC: We got a report about a group of pirates and we went out after them. Turns out they split up, so we had to split up too to find them. Tsuyu and I found a sinking ship and she rescued the crew inside, but got trapped as the ship collapsed. I saved her, but I had to cut her hair to do so. We got back on the trail of the pirates and found the leader. We grabbed his henchwoman and tied her up, then went to confront him. I tried to talk to him and get him to abandon the cargo, but he surprised me and smashed me into the side of the boat. By the time I got back to my feet and got my bearings, he had broken Tsuyu's arm and was threatening her life.
BDOC: I lost control
Miruko Cosplayer: That's horrible!
Tall GF 2: What happened?
Tall GF 2: Wait
Tall GF 2: Tsu stopped you, didn't she?
Queen Bitch: >"I'm fine, thanks to Tsu"
BDOC: I was about to maybe kill that villain when yeah, she stopped me.
BDOC: It's the nickname again
Miruko Cosplayer: Izuchan
Queen Bitch: Thank god for Tsu
Tall GF 2: I'm so sorry that happened to you
Miruko Cosplayer: I'm sorry we weren't there to help, but I'm so happy Tsu was able to
BDOC: I didn't know if my instincts would latch onto her before this week, but they've… yeah
BDOC: She's claimed. Hard.
Tall GF 2: So she knows everything?
BDOC: Basically, yeah
Tall GF 2: Does this mean that she's going to be joining the relationship?
Queen Bitch: Only if we all agree to it
Miruko Cosplayer: That includes you, Momo
Tall GF 2: Really? But I'm so new, I'd hate to get in your way
Queen Bitch: Say something like that again and I will get Ryukyu to fly me over there so I can slap you
BDOC: You're as important as anyone else. There's no seniority or anything here
Miruko Cosplayer: We wouldn't do anything like that without your ok. You're part of our team now
Tall GF 2: I'm not sure if I deserve it, but thank you
Queen Bitch: THAT'S IT I'M WAKING UP RYUKYU
Tall GF 2: Please don't! I'm sorry
BDOC: All in favor of cuddling Mo all day on Saturday
Miruko Cosplayer: Aye
Queen Bitch: Aye
Queen Bitch: The spanking can wait
BDOC: bangs gavel
BDOC: The motion passes
Tall GF 2: I'm actually tearing up a little right now.
BDOC: I love you, Mo. I mean it.
Miruko Cosplayer: We're not your girlfriends for show
Queen Bitch: Exactly! You don't have to have your walls up around us
Tall GF 2: Thank you all
Queen Bitch: I'm gonna hug the shit out of you when I see you next
Miruko Cosplayer: You're gonna have to beat me there
Tall GF 2: I think there's enough of me for all of you
Queen Bitch: Careful what you say, I have quite the appetite
Miruko Cosplayer: So does Deku
Tall GF 2: And you don't? I saw you Sunday morning
Queen Bitch: OH HO! I like this Momo
BDOC: I'm gonna have to wake up early tomorrow…
Queen Bitch: Ha! We made the dragon horny
Miruko Cosplayer: Hornier*
Tall GF 2: My heart is actually pounding a little, this is exhilarating.
Miruko Cosplayer: Good!
Tall GF 2: Zu, what did you mean when you said you cut Tsu's hair?
Queen Bitch: Don't think I don't notice you changing the subject
BDOC: Her hair got caught on something and I had to cut it off to get her free or she might've been crushed
Miruko Cosplayer: Such a hero
Queen Bitch: Chalk up another life he's saved
Tall GF 2: What is he up to now? It has to at least be over 6
BDOC: Please don't keep track of that, you've all saved me too
Miruko Cosplayer: That includes Tsu now!
Queen Bitch: How short is it?
BDOC: A bit shorter than her shoulders
Tall GF 2: Aw, that sounds adorable
Miruko Cosplayer: Show us a picture!
BDOC: I don't have any
Queen Bitch: Didn't you say you were sharing a room?
BDOC: I'm not taking a picture of her sleeping
Tall GF 2: Tomorrow then.
Miruko Cosplayer: Speaking of tomorrow, we should probably get to bed
BDOC: Agreed, I'm exhausted
Miruko Cosplayer: Goodnight everyone
BDOC: Goodnight
Tall GF 2: Goodnight!
Queen Bitch: I'm serious about that spanking
Miruko Cosplayer: Mina .
Queen Bitch: Goodnight!
Izuku smiled softly, feeling much better as he put his phone on the bedside table and rolled over to go to sleep.
Hopefully tomorrow would be a less exciting day.
Chizome heard a noise behind him in the alleyway, causing him to spin around and draw one of his swords in one motion. His eyes landed on a black and purple wormhole swirling lazily behind him, making him take a cautionary step back as he prepared to move.
The wormhole coalesced into a vaguely humanoid shape as a misty man wearing a tidy suit stood before him, his glowing yellow eyes staring straight at Chizome.
"Who are you?" Chizome spat, gripping a knife behind his back tightly.
The man bowed slightly. "My name is Kurogiri, and I have come here on behalf of my associate, Tomura Shigaraki. He wishes to speak with you and make you an offer. Should you refuse, I will return you here."
Chizome narrowed his eyes and stared the man down, watching for any crack in his facade.
"Fine," he said sharply, sheathing his sword. "But if you betray me, you will not live to regret it."
The man nodded and opened up another gate, allowing Chizome to step through into a small, dimly-lit bar. It was mostly empty, save for a glowing television in the back of the room and a dirty, blue-haired man sitting at the bar with what appeared to be a hand stuck to his face.
"You must be Shigaraki," Chizome growled as Kurogiri reformed behind the bar.
"Stain," the man hissed. "The so-called 'Hero Killer'."
Chizome narrowed his eyes, staring down the shorter man. "What do you want? I'm only here to sate my curiosity."
The man swiveled on the barstool so he was facing Chizome. "I want you to join my party."
"Your party."
"Yeah," Shigaraki sneered. "My group. My League of Villains."
Chizome grit his teeth and one of his hands drifted down to his knife. "You're a villain? To what end?"
"To what end?" Shigaraki repeated. "Right now, I want to kill All Might. I want to destroy anything that pisses me off, like this bastard."
He held up a picture of a green-haired man with horns growing from his forehead.
Not just any man.
A Midoriya.
Chizome knew of him. He had his eye on him since the festival. He knew his whole family well.
The Dragons .
Fakes, all of them. They cared for money, first and foremost. Sure, they made a showing of acting noble in front of the public, but he could tell.
He saw the ways their eyes glowed when money was mentioned in interviews or in passing. He saw it in the subtle ticks on their faces and the way they spoke.
Chizome doubted the boy was any better.
"I was a fool to come here," Chizome snarled. "Your motivations are that of a child. What meaning is there to killing without real conviction? Scum like you is the worst in this society."
"Kurogiri," another voice began firmly, coming from the television in the back of the room, "if he makes a move, return him to Hosu."
"Yes, Master."
His eyes snapped to the glowing screen and then back to Shigaraki. Who could that be behind the curtain?
Did it matter?
Shigaraki narrowed his eyes as his fingers twitched. "Hey, hey. You're a villain, just like me."
"I am nothing like you," Chizome spat back. "My purge is for the sake of a stronger society. You are throwing a tantrum, lashing out at anything that angers you."
"You're really starting to piss me off," Shigaraki growled.
"The shams that make up this society..." Chizome continued. "The only thing worse is criminals who wield their power in the name of petty mischief."
He gripped a knife in each hand and stepped forward.
Suddenly, his world went black and he found himself standing in that same dark alleyway in Hosu. The portal closed up behind him as Chizome glared at it, sheathing his knives and turning to continue his hunt.
Chizome wasn't planning on killing Shigaraki, at least not at first. There were hints of conviction in his eye, but he was trapped beneath layers of petulance and foolishness. Men revealed their true nature when faced with death; he had hoped to break through to the seeds of purpose buried deep within Shigaraki, but it wasn't to be.
He huffed as he began to climb up a building. Perhaps the 'Master' behind the screen didn't want Shigaraki hurt.
Or maybe he didn't want him to think.
It was a little before noon the next day when Kurogiri and Shigaraki stepped onto a high rooftop overlooking Hosu.
"Look at them," Shigaraki said with a low laugh. "Pathetic, disgusting people going about their lives, completely unaware that their doom lurks all around them."
Kurogiri looked down at the man, watching as he began to laugh his high-pitched, raspy cackle. Shigaraki cared for little but wanton violence and, while the original plan was to see if Stain could instill growth in the man, Master had apparently undergone a change of heart.
He seemed to have had many of those recently.
Master had told Shigaraki afterwards that Stain was an unhinged and unpredictable fanatic and he couldn't risk him injuring or killing Shigaraki. Kurogiri had some reservations, but he kept them to himself and Shigaraki seemed to accept that excuse without hesitation.
However, there was something else that was bothering Kurogiri. In the past, Master had shared much with Kurogiri, even past what was strictly necessary. He saw the wisdom in Kurogiri understanding the bigger picture and knowing where they were heading.
But in the past few weeks, he had become much more tight-lipped. Kurogiri assumed it was because of the abject failure at the USJ, for which he took full responsibility. If he hadn't let that student escape, the plan wouldn't have gone off the rails so terribly.
Kurogiri humbly accepted his punishment without complaint. It would be foolish to question his plans.
However, it did leave him quite curious at the present, and he couldn't help but inquire.
"Shigaraki, what exactly is going on?" he asked directly.
The man turned around suddenly. "What do you mean?"
"Master has not divulged what the plan here in Hosu actually is ," Kurogiri clarified.
Understandably, this surprised Shigaraki. "Wait, Master hasn't told you? Why not?"
"Perhaps he wanted you to tell me," Kurogiri offered. It was a weak lie, but Shigaraki trusted him almost implicitly. Besides, he wagered the entire world would know the secret soon enough.
Shigaraki blinked once. "Hmm. That makes sense. Master wants me to handle more of the leadership stuff… yeah, that must be it."
He turned back around and looked over Hosu. "The doctor did two things with Trigger. First, he figured out a way to make it into a gas. Second, he managed to make it last much longer, although Master says it won't be nearly as effective as the normal stuff. But that's not everything he did."
Kurogiri's eyes widened slightly.
"Do you ever play old games?" Shigaraki asked. "Or read old comics?"
"I do not."
Shigaraki let out a sinister chuckle. "This next part reminds me of a game I played when I was younger. It was based off a comic book series from the 1900s. You see, the doctor created another drug. Another gas."
He turned and looked up at Kurogiri, a sadistic smile on his face. "Let's call it a 'fear toxin'."
Kurogiri began to understand. "Judging from that name, it's something to cause madness and hallucinations in those that inhale it?"
"Yeah, something like that," Shigaraki answered, turning away again. "Master packed both gasses into these canisters and had me talk to Giran about hiding them in strategic locations all over Hosu, where the population is greatest. With all the smuggling that goes on and all the other villains running around, nobody noticed them."
Shigaraki reached into his pocket and pulled out a small detonator, tugging at the cap with his thumb. "They're just sitting there, waiting for the signal. Waiting for my signal."
He threw his head back in laughter, his manic grin bared wide into the sky. "What will the heroes do when the ones they're trying to save are the ones they're trying to stop? Their precious quirks that make them who they are… What will they do when those quirks betray them?"
Shigaraki began to cackle, his grin somehow becoming wider.
Kurogiri was impressed with the scope of Master's plans, but it just further solidified how much of his trust he had lost, that he wouldn't share that with him.
Shigaraki stopped laughing and slowly looked over the city again, his fingers dancing over the trigger, but he didn't press it.
"What are you waiting for?" Kurogiri asked curiously. Of the few virtues that Shigaraki possessed, patience was not among them.
Shigaraki reached into his other pocket and pulled out a simple phone—quite clearly a burner—and waved it knowingly. "I'm waiting on the signal. We have to make sure Endeavor is caught in one of the blasts. Master says the stuff will disperse and become inert too quickly to take that chance."
As if on cue, the phone buzzed. Kurogiri approached to read over Shigaraki's shoulder, where he saw a text from an unknown number.
'Soon'
"He must be near one of the bombs," Kurogiri mused.
Shigaraki's fingers twitched nervously around the trigger, clearly getting impatient.
They waited a few minutes in tense silence before the phone buzzed again.
'Now'
Shigaraki flipped open the cap of the detonator and pressed the button.
Suddenly, all around them and throughout the city, small explosions began to fire off. The distant screaming and shouting began in earnest, accented by the dark purple clouds beginning to ooze over the city.
Shigaraki closed both of his hands, disintegrating both the phone and the detonator as his maniacal laughter began again.
As the clouds loomed closer to them, Kurogiri teleported both of them back to the bar to await the destruction of Hosu.
Pony and Kendou slumped down on the couches in the dressing room after the eighth take of that damned commercial.
She felt like she had tousled and tossed her hair more today than she had her entire life.
Pony reached into her bag and pulled out her phone, hoping she would have a few minutes before Uwabami called them in for another retake or more autographs or something.
She furrowed her brow. Why did she have so many notifications? Most were from the chat group that she shared with the other 1-A girls.
However, she only began to read over a message sent by Kyouka before the door to the dressing room flew open violently.
Uwabami was standing there, looking far more serious than Pony had ever seen her.
"Get changed into your hero uniforms, now ," she ordered firmly, causing Pony and Kendou to hesitate out of surprise. "There's been a massive villain attack on Hosu and the government has put out an All-Heroes Bulletin. Every hero available is to converge on Hosu immediately to contain and control the situation."
Pony's eyes widened. That must be what the other women had been talking about in the chat room.
Uwabami's snakes coiled and hissed, clearly agitated and stressed; a reflection of the woman herself.
"This is serious. Hurry. Now !"
Pony and Kendou unfroze, scrambling for their costumes as fast as they could.
Notes:
See you next time!
