All For One got off the phone with his doctor. He had offered to have Kurogiri send a warp gate so the doctor could come as soon as possible. However, he had declined saying he would come via car as he was not far off and would bring a nurse as well. In addition to a nurse whom he promised was discreet he would also bring along additional medical equipment and supplies that may be needed. All For One decided it was a reasonable objection and left off at that.

He glanced down at the files and papers on his desk labeled Shimura, Tenko. Yes, he knew all about the child's case history after hacking into the databases of various hospitals and government agencies over the past years for a few months attempting to locate the child. When he stumbled upon records from various social workers and welfare offices that's when he knew it was time to act. Obviously, the idiots had paid no attention to the obvious signs of abuse stating various injuries seen upon the child as a result of "childhood accidents" and "clumsiness". 

There were few if any medical records in regards towards the injuries. Which, meant the father avoided doctors and clinics in case of being reported for child abuse or child endangerment.

After what All For One had heard and witnessed, he grew enraged clenching his hands into fists. If he had such a quirk he would resurrect the boy's father only to give him a slow and painful death. Especially when he saw the state of the child covered in blood, bruises, and being severely malnourished. It was yet another example of hero and quirk society failing to fulfill their role to protect the weak and innocent. And he would make damn sure little Tenko Shimura understood all of this in the future. 

He would be the ideal protégé modeled after himself. In time he will mold him to be a fearsome villain.

He picked up his phone and began making more phone calls. Contacting underlings to prepare the medical treatment room for when the doctor arrived for immediate procedure. Make sure it was disinfected and any tools or equipment were set up and ready. He contacted his clean up squad to take care of the rental home which he was the sole owner of as of a few days ago. When he found out the home Shimura's father lived in was a rental he had his people make an offer on the home. Essentially conning it out of the previous owners hands since he was behind on paying his taxes, neglected upkeep and maintenance on all of his properties, and failed to perform background checks on tenants. The owner gave up the property immediately out of fright when he heard from All For One's lawyer who was threatening to contact the police and various legal actions.

The house would be stripped of evidence and then destroyed and the land would be put up for sale and sold for a profit. One way of funding his plans and villainous lifestyle.

He knew the only reason the father had the child around was to get money out of him, what with all the appeals for welfare and assistance. It was disgusting. All For One needed to be sure he had the right information so he had his people acting as spies for awhile one of whom acted as a "girlfriend" another as a welfare agent. They reported the conditions of the home and the behavior of the father and son they also had cameras and recording devices. All For One saw the pictures and only grew more angry when he saw the cellar and the fear in the child's eyes. He would have levelled the house at once but that wasn't his style. He needed the house and he needed to play a part. Time would tell if all this would work out in the end.

After, All For One left, Kurogiri introduced himself properly to Tenko and was surprised to see the facial wounds and scars on the young boys face and neck. He had not seen such injuries on a child so young. He crouched down on the ground to be at eye level with the boy who meanwhile, was staring down at his own bare feet.

"Hello, My name is Kurogiri (he offered Tenko a shadowy hand which Tenko hesitantly and shyly shook) and just like All For One said I am his assistant. I have a warp gate quirk that's why I don't have a solid form in case you were curious. Anyway if it's alright with you I will take you to the bathroom where the first-aid kit and the bathtub is. There I can tend to some of these wounds till the doctor arrives and I can give you a bath." he explained calmly to the child.

Kurogiri did not have a lot of experience with kids but was putting in the effort. He didn't want to frighten a young child who was clearly a victim of abuse of some form. Also, he knew that All For One had been searching for someone what with all the warp gating into various government and agency offices that Kurogiri had been assisting him with. He could only assume this was who his boss had been looking for all this time. He was a cute little kid or would be once he was no longer bleeding, pale, and clearly traumatized. Judging by his haunted eyes.

Kurogiri held his hand out to escort the child to the bathroom. Tenko reached out his little hand careful not to use all five fingers as he had learned the hard way.

Kurogiri made his yellow eyes smile as he gazed down at Tenko "It is quite alright you can't harm me. I'm not a solid form." so Tenko clasped his hand with a five fingers fearfully but seemed surprised and amazed that Kurogiri remained. Just like All For One he thought to himself. He began to trust Kurogiri a little bit more.

 Kurogiri escorted him to All For One's personal master bath. The entire color scheme was black and white with touches of red. Their was a large black tub with built in jet streams, a mirror that stretched all across a wall, the walls were decorated in black and white floral tiles, black and white tiled heated flooring, and a shower that had dual shower heads depending on your preference from a rainfall to a pulsing showerhead. It was all new to Tenko who had only ever used the small bathroom at the rental house where the toilet, sink, and bathtub all shared a room.

Kurogiri asked permission before lifting Tenko up and setting him onto a counter he then told him to stay still. Kurogiri then rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and set to work filling the black tub with warm water and lavender bath soap. Pulling out shampoo, conditioner, washcloths, and loofahs.

As the tub filled with water he pulled out a first-aid kit and washed his hands then he began looking over the child's wounds. He winced when he noticed glass shards still in the child's skin he was shocked by how quiet the boy was. Though he did notice the tears running down his face. Kurogiri removed a pair of tweezers from the first-aid kit. Being a bartender and working with villains he had experience with having to remove glass and treating wounds.

"Tenko, it's ok if I call you that?" (he got a small nod) "I'm going to start removing the glass from your skin. I'm sorry if it hurts but I will be as gentle as I can just let me know if it hurts, OK?" Kurogiri said looking at the boy. He got another tear filled nod of yes. Kurogiri felt his misty heart clench at the sight. 

He started slowly pulling out small pieces of brown and green glass and dropping them into the wastebasket. He checked over the boys feet and his back thankfully not to many had gotten into his skin. He pulled out the bottle of rubbing alcohol to help sterilize the child's wounds and gently dabbed it on with cotton balls but Tenko remained quiet even when his face screwed up in pain. Kurogiri didn't know whether to be impressed or disappointed that such a young child remained so quiet during a first-aid procedure. He could remember encountering children older then the boy screaming and crying in pain from falling and scraping a knee.

Obviously, judging by the brief look he got in the child's eyes he had suffered more in his short young life than some adults will in their whole lives. A child so young shouldn't have to deal with injuries he vowed from then on to dote on the child.

When the wounds were as clean and disinfected as he could get them, he applied water proof band-aids, he decided to put him in the bath the warm water and soap would help to cleanse them even more. He turned off the water to the bathtub and tested the temperature. Then he lifted Tenko up and had him test out the water as well when he got a gentle nod for the water being O.K he set the boy back down. Pulling out towels from a cabinet and hanging them up.

"Alright, I'm finished now it's time for your bath." Kurogiri set him by the bathtub. "Uh, do you need help getting undressed?" he asked. Worried the child might be scared or shy to do so with a stranger present.

Tenko shook his head and started pulling his clothes off, living with a drunk for a father he had learned to dress himself at an early age, as Kurogiri averted his gaze. When Kurogiri saw he was ready he lifted him up and set him down in the tub. Tenko looked pleasantly happy and surprised he rarely had baths and often they were either too cold or too hot for his sensitive skin. He also liked the flowery scent and the bubbles that surrounded him. Usually all he had was a bar of cheap soap that barely lathered. He smiled and waved his arms in the water enjoying the bubbles the tub was so big, he felt like he was in a boat.

Kurogiri offered him a washcloth and told him to take all the time he needed since he saw how happy he looked. "Is it ok if I wash your hair? I think that would be a good idea." Kurogiri asked. Tenko was pleased with the bath and gave a small "Yes" as a reply. Kurogiri gave it no notice pleased the boy was comfortable to speak. He picked up the shampoo bottle and squirted it into his shadowy hands and worked it into the boy's tangled mess of hair. As he washed he noticed the grey hair he thought the child originally had was actually a very soft sky blue color, it was just very dirty.

Kurogiri wound up washing his hair twice and ran conditioner through it as well. He washed the child's back and behind his neck being careful not to scrub too hard due to his injuries and sensitive skin. He rinsed out his hair thoroughly and made sure all the bath soap was washed off and then wrapped the boy in a large, fluffy, white towel. Tenko was drying himself off and walking around admiring the bathroom while Kurogiri examined the child's clothes they were filthy, torn, and stained with blood.

These would not do.

He entered his own warp gate and in a quick moment he returned with a hospital gown, robe, and slippers for Tenko all just about his size. He asked if he needed help getting dressed but another shake of the head told him what he already knew. While Tenko dressed, Kurogiri drained the tub and deposited the boy's old clothes into a plastic bag. He would ask his boss what was to be done with them later. Most likely thrown out. When he finished Tenko was dressed in a standard hospital gown, a blue terrycloth bathrobe, and red slippers. Kurogiri then picked up a plastic comb and carefully combed out the child's hair, gently tugging out the tangles. When he was finished with his work he set the comb aside.

"Come lets go see if the doctor is here yet." Kurogiri said holding out his hand once more. "Will you be OK entering a warp gate?" he asked concerned.

Tenko thought a moment and gave a determined nod he was curious and wanted to know what it was like. They then warped into All For One's office where All For One was seated at his desk and the doctor was present sitting opposite him. The doctor gazed at the boy fascinated.

"Well, look at this young man who just walked in my office. Is this the same boy I just brought back with me?" All For One said with a smile in his voice.

Little Tenko smiled and ran up to All For One wrapping his little arms around his waist. "Did you miss me Tenko?" All For One asked he got a nod for a reply. The old villain chuckled before patting the boy on his head (this would be too easy) he thought,

"Now, Tenko. I want you to meet my doctor. His name is dr. Ujiko he's going to take a look at you and make sure your healthy. Can you be a good boy and go with the nice doctor?" All For One asked. Tenko was hesitant and a little suspicious but he nodded his head he trusted All For One because he had saved him.

"What a fascinating specimen." The doctor said. "Tell me is he to be a new "test" subject?"

"No, Doctor." All For One said a little coldness to his voice. "I have other plans for the boy. Take the same care as you would with me." 

The doctor whispered "What of the scars?"

AFO gazed at the boy he had plans and an idea as to how to raise the boy. He needed the boy to be pliant and moldable. "Treat the wounds but leave the scars."

The doctor nodded and then turned his attention to Tenko a wide creepy grin on he chubby, mustachioed face, light gleaming off his thick glasses. "Come with me little boy. Let me see those injuries." he did not hold out a hand. Tenko went with the doctor hesitantly into the treatment room.. Turning to look at AFO and Kurogiri with worried eyes

After, the boy was out of earshot, All For One turned to Kurogiri. "So how was he?" he asked.

"Very quiet, Sir. He only spoke a few words the whole time we were together but he was agreeable. He let me treat his wounds and give him a bath." Kurogiri replied.

"I'm not surprised that is expected since he is in shock." All For One explained.

"Sir, if I'm not out of line what happened to him?" Kurogiri asked.

"It was his bastard of a father who couldn't handle his own son's quirk. Blamed the kid for the demise of his wife. Been treating him like an animal locked away in a cellar, beaten, starved, you name it. Those idiots at the child welfare office have been giving him checks to keep him in alcohol so he could torture the boy. The heroes were as negligent as always. Well I fixed it so that he won't be able to torture anyone ever again." All For One told his advisor a cruel smile spreading on his face.

"Gods, that's terrible I'm speechless. No one knew what was going on in that house all this time?" Kurogiri said feeling a little sick to his stomach.

"Just more and more proof to show how broken this "Heroic" society of ours isn't it Kurogiri?" The boss said leaning back in his chair.

"Boss may I ask another question? I don't mean to be out of line and question your actions but  what exactly do you have in mind for this child?" Kurogiri decided to ask the question that had been niggling his mind all that night. Ever since his boss left that night and explained to Kurogiri where he was going.

"Well isn't it obvious Kurogiri? He's going to be my protégé, my predecessor, the one to inherit All For One when I am gone." All For One explained as though it was common knowledge. "Which is why we need to train him to control his quirk. Teach him everything we know, our philosophy, our beliefs, he'll be your boss someday so treat him with respect."

Kurogiri wasn't sure if he liked this idea the child was so young couldn't be older than 5 years old if a day and his boss wanted to sculpt him into the villain to rule all villains? It seemed like too much responsibility to bestow on a child so young especially one who had been abused for so long.

"Of course boss, I have done nothing more then to treat him respectfully and gently since he is a child so young. But don't you think he is too young to take on such a responsibility. He has already been through so much as it is." Kurogiri replied wanting to reiterate his feelings on the matter.

"Of course Kurogiri, that's why I wanted you to watch over the boy while I was gone. You have that way with people, your a caregiver. It's important you work closely with him because when I am gone he is going to need a strong and knowledgeable presence to help him lead in the future." All For One said.

"Still couldn't we find the boy a home? a family?" Kurogiri said aloud before he realized what he said.

"I understand your misgivings Kurogiri but in all honesty where could we possibly place a child with such a quirk? His parents and family have already failed or abandoned him to properly care and raise him. You really think this fractured society will do justice in giving him a fair lot in life? No, family will want to adopt him. He would be shuffled about from foster home to foster home then age out at eighteen, if he's lucky. He'll be treated as a burden his whole life. Is that what you want for him? I'm not exactly parent material either but by taking him under my wing, teaching him all I know he will have a future here at least. A place he will belong and a purpose." All For One finished for he was a master manipulator.  

"Your right Sir, I had not considered those options. I know society can be cruel to children with less than desirable quirks. I remember my own upbringing as well." Kurogiri replied pausing for a moment in thought and drawing a blank. Kurogiri decided it would have to be for the best. He liked the child so far and didn't want to see little Tenko become a victim of the system anymore, than he already was.

"It would be an honor to watch over the future holder of your quirk, sir." Kurogiri said bowing. Even though he still disagreed thinking it would be better to find a teenager or an adult who could consent to such an agreement. But he had been a follower and assistant to All For One for so many years, there so was no turning back now. He would assist in helping to raise the child as his future leader as his new mission in life.

At the moment the door opened to the treatment room and the doctor stepped out a grim look on his face as he shut the door. Both men turned towards the doctor awaiting the diagnosis.

"The child is in poor health, many evident signs of physical as well as developmental and mental trauma. I have him on an IV at the moment he has severe dehydration and malnutrition at the moment. I'm surprised he could even walk his vitals are so low. I had to give him 15 stitches to his body, checked over the other wounds he recently received good job in disinfecting and removing the debris, Kurogiri. However, he has several fractured ribs which I have wrapped up for now he will need to be bedridden for several days. I'll keep him on the IV also see that he's getting fluids and healthy food. He is underweight we need to build up his weight as well." The doctor said.

"How is he doing right now?" All For One asked.

"I gave the boy a sedative. He is sleeping at the moment. I'll be back in the morning to check on him again. Good evening, All For One. Kurogiri" The Doctor bowed paying his respects and left.

All For One rose from his seat and entered the treatment room looking down at the small vulnerable form in the hospital bed who was twitching in his sleep. He stroked the young boy's hair and the form calmed down. All For One then turned to Kurogiri and spoke "I want someone near him 24/7. He shouldn't be alone anymore he has been neglected long enough."

"Of course, Master. If it is alright with you I can watch him till morning?" Kurogiri replied with a bow.

"Thank you, Kurogiri. Your one of the few I can actually trust around here. If it's alright I would like to be alone with him for awhile." All For One replied. Kurogiri bowed and stepped out of the room shutting the door. 

AFO gazed down at the child a cruel and knowing smile on his face. Everything was going according to plan.

Over the next few days Tenko Shimura stayed in bed resting, recovering from his injuries as a result of the abusive attacks he had suffered from his father. He was slowly starting to develop an appetite and any food he took a liking to was brought in all in hopes of him putting on weight and to overcome his malnourished state. He was also given vitamins and medications for the pain. He had also regained hydration so they were able to take him off the IV several days after being brought to All For One's hideout. Slowly his physical health was recovering.

They decorated the treatment room as though it was a typical room in a children's hospital bringing balloons, flowers, coloring books, and stuffed animals for Tenko to cuddle with. A TV was wheeled in for him for when he was awake so he could watch kid's shows as a way to help him start learning his letters and numbers.

Unfortunately, his mental health was another story. After suffering for so long from all the psychological and physical abuse had taken a toll on the little boy's mental state, he was a victim of trauma and it showed. He suffered from night terrors whenever he slept and woke up in a panicked state often. He lost control of his quirk disintegrating blankets, pillows, teddy bears, and sometimes the IV in his panic. It got so bad their were worries he could harm himself or others, so it was decided to have him wear gloves when he slept. Their were also moments when he had flashbacks which could be trigged from accidents: a glass being dropped on the floor, someone slamming a door, the light being switched off these could send him into a panicked state of tears, and screaming.

He would be inconsolable at times the main ones able to calm him were Kurogiri and All For One. He also slowly became prone to temper tantrums and fits because he just didn't know how to handle his emotions from all he had been through. Tenko was receiving excellent medical care despite using an underground doctor and had plenty of attention. Unfortunately being around villains who tended to be trauma victims themselves they lacked the tools and resources necessary to help the poor boy. It was suggested by the doctor and nurses that perhaps reading to the boy may assist him as well as helping to develop cognitive skills since he still really didn't speak much.

So books started appearing personally selected by All For One himself for Tenko's development. Children's books of course as he was young and had a short attention span. The nurses would read to him while he ate his meals or had medical exams, Kurogiri read to him in the evenings when he was watching over him, he even read to him in his sleep which did help with the night terrors. Even All For One himself read to him. It was quite the picture little Tenko sitting in his lap looking at the pictures and listening as his Sensei spoke to him.

The stitches eventually faded, unfortunately he would be left disfigured with the scars. He also had others scars across his face and all across his body either from abuse or his quirk. The doctor mentioned since he had such a destructive quirk it would be hard on his body for life. It would be important that they took care of his body and he would have to do so when he was older as he was already prone to dry skin.

When the doctor finally granted a clean bill of health for Tenko recommending healthy meals, vitamins, and outdoor exercise. He could leave the treatment room at last. It was now time to show Tenko to his own bedroom which had been worked on in secret. Tenko was no longer in a hospital gown wearing a long sleeved dark blue sweater, a pair of jeans, and red sneakers. He was holding All For One's hand as they entered Kurogiri's warp gate. Of course they could have walked but All For One wanted him to get used to using the warp gate, and by making short trips it would help the child adjust slowly over time.

They stopped outside the door, All For One instructed to Tenko that he was just down the hall from his own master suite so if he needed anything he could come and knock when he was around. All For One gestured for Tenko to open the door who hesitantly reached up a small shaky hand and opened the door, careful to lift a finger. The light automatically turned on once the door opened Tenko hesitantly peered inside and looked around. When he decided he liked what he saw he walked in.

The bedroom was decorated as a typical children's bedroom their was a small bed so he could get in and out of it on his own already made up with sheets, pillows, and a couple of plushies. There were some bookshelves, a small table and chairs, an arm chair for an adult to sit in with a lamp, and a nightstand. Tenko looked around in awe at the room he had never seen anything like it. He opened a door and saw it was a closet stocked with clothes in his size and some a few sizes bigger when he grew taller there were also several pairs of shoes. There were toys in the room as well blocks, Legos, cars and trucks, dinosaurs, and animals items to stimulate his imagination and help him in development. He liked everything he saw and had no complaints.

All For One then asked "Do you like it Tenko? Is there anything you don't? we can change it if you want." Tenko just walked up to All For One and wrapped his little arms around his legs and quietly said "Thank you."

It was taken as a good sign that he had spoken for the first time in days that weren't in screams or tears. All For One and Tenko toured about the room while Kurogiri stood in the doorway feeling a sense of satisfaction. It was nice having a child around he thought, as hard as he could imagine having a child amongst villains. But he felt more at ease and looked forward to seeing the little tykes face. It wasn't ideal how he had come to be amongst them but it was just as well Tenko was one of them now.

After, he was shown around his room. All For One gave him a full tour of the hideout with Kurogiri accompanying them. Granted the little boy would never be left alone to wonder about it was still important to learn his way about and where to go and where not to go. First they started with the living quarters where the bathroom was, All For One's master bedroom and private study, the kitchen, rec room, and living room. Tenko was given permission to freely roam these rooms aside from the master bedroom and study which he would need to ask permission for first.

Then they moved onto the rest of hideout, All For One's office, the treatment room where Tenko now wanted to avoid, the arms room filled with weapons which could only be accessed by passcode, laboratories with experiments that were currently being worked on: new weapons, quirks, and something called a Nomu. The garage where various vehicles were kept, the uniform room, the computer room. Then there were the common areas for villains to gather about and hold meetings or discussions. Tenko would be introduced simply as All For One's pupil and nothing more.

After, the tour ended All For One met with Tenko inside his office the blue haired toddler sitting in a chair looking up at his sensei in awe after all he had seen. It had all been exciting for him since before his world had been so small and dim only fitting the confines of a small rental home often kept in a cellar.

"Tenko, from now on I want you to refer to me as Sensei. Do you think you can do that?" AFO asked.

Tenko nodded his head and replied "Yes, Sensei." 

AFO smiled things were going according to plan.

All For One sat in a chair directly across the boy and began to speak "Tenko now that you have been here awhile and have seen all I have to offer you. Is this what you want? a future with me? I want you to think carefully because I will not ask you this again."

Tenko then thought to himself he maybe young and emotionally stunted but he was intelligent for his age. Before meeting All For One he was constantly in pain, scared, cold, and hungry. Now he had nothing to fear aside from his nightmares, no one hurt him, he was warm and well fed. He liked All For One a lot, he was his hero he had saved him. He also liked Kurogiri who was always nice to him and even treated him like an adult with respect.

Tenko then spoke in a small voice "Yes, Sensei. I want to stay here with you and Kurogiri."

All For One smiled he had been expecting this answer he just wanted to be sure of his pupil. "Well then Tenko, I will officially adopt you and raise you from here on out with your permission. However, I think we should change your name. Give you a new name for your new life."

"Why should we do that Sensei?" Tenko asked confused and curious.

"Well, what if someone comes looking for you in the future and find out your here. They might want to take you away from me you wouldn't want that would you?" All For One explained carefully.

Tenko's little scarlet eyes enlarged in fear at the thought of that. "No, Sensei I don't want that. but who would take me away from you?" Tenko asked curiously.

"Why the heroes of course. After all those social workers and welfare workers thought you were perfectly safe and content with that "Father" of yours, and they are in line with the heroes. The police, social workers, heroes, everyone in government and society they all are in it together. That's why I need you to help me fix society because it is broken do you understand?" All For One calmly tried to explain so the child would understand.

Tenko nodded his head his eyes wide at this newfound knowledge. The heroes he had looked up to and idolized were in it together they would never have saved him from his "father" after all. Only All For One really cared about him.

"So what do you say? Do you want to get rid of the name that man gave you and leave your past behind forever?" All For One asked again.

Tenko gave a determined expression. "Yes, Sensei I don't want to leave you. I don't like heroes anymore. I want you to give me a new name, too."

"As well as you should not like heroes. They are nothing like we are. You are destined for destruction and chaos. You will be a new King."

All For One smiled once more. "I have a name already chosen for you I hope you like it. You will have my surname: Shigaraki Tomura, what do you think? Has a nice ring to it doesn't it."

The newly named Shigaraki Tomura smiled and nodded his head. "Yes, Sensei I like it a lot."
