**Shota POV**

Another day had passed, and there was nothing but radio silence. Not a trace of evidence was left behind at the prison. Nothing even caught on the security cameras.

There hadn't been any major crimes since, and nothing that would have us believe Y/n was with them.

But I knew she was. I could feel it to my very core.

Toshinori and Hizashi were back. They were covering for me at school but would quickly return afterwards.

Nezu got involved, but other than that, we weren't letting anyone else know.

It would be bad news for her if word got out.

I stood up after hearing a knock at the door. My eyes narrowed as I answered it.

"Heard ya were looking for me?" Hawks smirked as he pushed past me and let himself into the apartment.

"What the hell took you so long?" I asked as I shut the door behind him.

"Eh, little of this. Little of that. You know how it goes."

He sat down in the armchair Y/n brought when she moved in and took no time in making himself comfortable.

He smirked, "I remember this chair... So, did Y/n move in?"

All three of us eyed him closely, hoping that he'd drop his act for even half a second so we could get a glimpse of what he knew.

"Where is she?" I asked coldly.

Something was telling me he already knew. I could just feel it. Y/n was my whole world, and I knew something was going on.

"Shouldn't you know? You're her boyfriend. She chose you, after all."

I used my capture device to wrap around him and pull him up, his feet just slightly hovering over the ground.

"I won't ask again Hawks. Where is Y/n?"

"Shota," Toshinori spoke up, snapping me somewhat out of my rage.

I let Hawks back down, and he lightly dusted himself off.

"Aizawa," he looked at me again. "You don't deserve her. You never did."

He walked closer to me, "And when I bring her back safely, she'll realize just how useless you really are."

"If she chooses you, then fine, as long as I know she's safe..." I felt myself calming down, oddly enough. "That's all I care about, Hawks."

His eyes softened as I spoke, and it was like we finally agreed on something.

"Is she safe?" Toshinori asked.

"She's alive."

"Are we not even going to question how he knows?" Hizashi huffed out.

"No," I spoke up quickly. "I honestly don't care. And Hawks, we won't say a word about any of this."

He nodded, "I know."

"So, what's next?"

**Y/N POV**

Keigo never came back.

It had been days and days and there wasn't a sign of anyone searching for me. There weren't any reports of me missing.

It was like everyone had forgotten about me. Or worse, just didn't care.

I knew I was the one that ran... I had no reason to be bitter, but I was. I didn't think Shota would give up on me. At least not this quickly.

I mean, Dabi and I hadn't talked for years, and he never gave up on me or forgot about me. Maybe he was always the one that really cared.

Either way, now I had bigger things to worry about. The League of Villains was meeting with another underground group, Shie Hassaikai.

As one of them, that meant that I was going too. Apparently, their leader wanted to be allies with Shiagarki.

I wore black pants, thigh high black boots, and a cropped tight black long sleeve. I pulled my hair back and thickened on dark eye makeup, hoping to keep myself somewhat unrecognizable.

We stood in an abandoned warehouse, one of the League's hideouts across the city. Dabi and I hung in the back of the group, his arm resting around my shoulders.

I watched as a man with a plague mask walked in with Twice, another League member I had met recently, a small posse all following behind.

"Overhaul, to what do we owe the pleasure?" Shigaraki called as they approached us. "Let me guess, you're excited about All Might's retirement, too."

So Toshi's loss of power is bringing out more criminals after all? Not entirely surprising, only frustrating that no one had stepped up to take his place.

Isn't this what Endeavor was waiting for? What the hell was taking him so long...

I watched as he eyed us all carefully, "Perhaps. But I'm more interested in All for One's absence, and who will be next to rule over the shadows."

I smirked at the boldness. We thought he came here to be allies, but it looked like he might've come here to declare war over succession.

"Do you really have the nerve to ask me that?" Shigaraki hissed. "When you already know who my master is."

"No need to be hasty, just posing a question. After all, I have something we all benefit from."

My whole body tensed up as some thugs from Overhaul's posse brought out a small girl. There were bandages covering her arms and legs.

Her eyes were big and red, just like Katsuki's, and I thought I was going to lose it by the sight of how broken she looked.

"Who is she?" I hissed to Dabi.

"Calm down, Y/n. Remember what side you're on now."

I whipped my head towards him, "She's a child, Dabi."

My heart was racing as I watched them carry her away and out of the building. Her muffled cries drifting in from outside.

What were they doing to her?

I quickly observed the scene. There were way too many to fight through right now. But I had to save her.

"I don't care, Overhaul. I am the next leader. And I don't take threats lightly," Shigaraki called out.

"Our numbers are rising. We're recruiting every day. Soon, I'll turn hero society to dust."

I closed my eyes as he finished his spiel. He was spitting the same nonsense my parents had, and it all was coming from the same place. All for One.

"Do you actually have a plan?" Overhaul asked.

I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Of course he didn't have a plan. This is Shigaraki. He doesn't create plans, he takes orders.

Dabi looked at me with a fiery gaze, warning me to get myself in check, but I've never been one to fall in line.

And I've never hid my distaste for Shigaraki.

I jumped down from the ledge Dabi and I were standing on, walking over towards the masked man.

I had to get closer, see if I could get any information out of him that would help me save the girl. That was my only focus from here on out.

If I had to stay with the League, I may as well keep busy with something of true importance.

"I thought they said you were coming to join us?" I asked as I locked my eyes onto Overhaul.

I smirked as I watched his eyes fluttered across my face and down my body. Men, especially the younger ones, they were too easy.

"And you are?"

I smiled as I walked closer, "Y/n."

"Well maybe the League is doing something right after all," he smirked at me. "Yet still, is there a plan?"

"Shiggy? With a plan?" I turned my head to look at him. "Now wouldn't that be a sight to see."

"So," he turned his attention back to Shigaraki. "You can't even manage a few crazies? Then how do you plan on building an army?"

"See, I didn't come here to join you. I have my own agenda, and it's for you to join me and accept me as your new leader."

Spending all my time with villains was definitely leaving me more quick-tempered than normal.

And I didn't like being called crazy. Actually, all of a sudden, I didn't really like anything about his attitude.

Blood Manipulation 15%.

I watched as his legs began to shake with pain, and took a step closer, "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. You were saying something about us being crazy?"

"You brought him here without knowing his intentions, Twice?" Shigaraki called out. "Y/n. That's enough."

I glanced back at Shigaraki and decided to let go of Overhaul.

"But it's good to see you care," he smirked at me as I walked off.

I made my way towards Dabi, "Let's go. This is a waste of time."

He kissed my cheek as he put his arm back around my shoulder, leading the way out of the warehouse.

We ignored Magne as she started on some rant, but stopped when we heard that sound of a small explosion.

I stared in horror as we watched the top half of her body burst, blood flying everywhere.

"Just remember, you made the first move," Overhaul said as he stood back to his feet.

I had never seen anything like that before. What kind of quirk did this guy have?

Before we knew what was happening, Compress was launching towards him, and Overhaul sliced right through his arm.

Shigaraki flew right behind, but as he was about to grab Overhaul, someone from his squad stepped in front to protect him, and Shigaraki disintegrated him entirely.

The bullets they fired at Compress, that's why his quirk didn't work... They were quirk cancelling. But for how long?

And how did they make them?

I jumped back down and stood next to Shigaraki, ready to fight if that's what it came to.

Especially since Overhaul's posse had returned and grown in number.

"Killing each other isn't productive," Overhaul looked at us.

I felt the anger inside me begin to bubble over. "Only someone who knows they're about to lose would say that," I snarled as I got in an attack stance.

"I'm saying there's been a death on both sides, so let's take a breather. Cool off and then regroup."

"Let me cut him, Tomura!" Toga called out.

"No, everyone stay back."

"Smart call. Think things over, and let me know," Overhaul tossed back a business card.

My feet moved on their own, and I grabbed my sword out of its sheath that laid across my back. The same one I carried with my hero costume.

I launched forward and sliced through the arm of one of Overhaul's members. The one with the long, white trench coat who had shot the quirk-cancelling bullets.

Overhaul froze and slowly turned around to glare at me.

I stood and put my sword back, "You owed us an arm. Now we're even."

He smirked, "I look forward to seeing you again, Y/n. We'll make a good team."

I watched for a moment as Overhaul and his group began to leave, carrying out their newly one-armed member.

"Get him to a doctor," I called out as I passed Mr. Compress who was still bleeding out on the ground.

"Y/n," Shigaraki snarled. "I told you to stay back."

"Just be glad that I finally picked a side," I glanced over at him. "And it's yours."

I joined Dabi again and we walked off together, leaving the others to finish up whatever they were needing to finish up.

I guess if I was going to be a villain, I would choose the League. At least they weren't torturing children.

Whenever Shigaraki met up with him again, I had to make sure I could be there. I had to make sure he trusted me enough to bring me along.

I needed to see Overhaul again so I could rescue the girl. After I had her, I would take her to safety and then make my escape.

Probably somewhere out of the country once again.

I finally had a plan.

Dabi put his arm around me as we walked and leaned over to me, "I don't know whether to be pissed that Overhaul couldn't take his eyes off you, or be turned on by your little performance."

I smirked, "Why not both? You can just take all that stress and anger out when we get home."

He immediately stopped and pulled me into him, "You better quit teasing me, Y/n. You talk like that, and I won't be able to hold back anymore."

"Maybe I don't want you to hold back."

He leaned in and stopped right before his lips met mine, "You finally ready to get what you came for?"

Dabi and I hadn't hooked up yet, but I was out of patience.

Keigo wasn't coming. Shota wasn't coming. I had a plan to get out of here. May as well get one more taste.
