"Hi Izuku, how are you doing?" Shigaraki asked Midoriya.

Midoriya who had just gotten off the phone with All Might jumped "Oh, my god you scared me Tomuchan." she said holding a hand to her chest to calm her racing heart.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you but what were you up to just now?" he asked curiously.

"I was on the phone with my mother." Midoriya lied. Even though she hated the thought of lying to her beloved and decided to deflect the conversation. "Tomuchan I've been wondering but do you think about the future?"

"Yes, of course I do my whole life has been focused on the future and moving on forward. It's all about my goal." he said getting excited.

"Oh, what is it exactly?" she asked interest piqued.

"Tearing down Hero society of course." he said. "And killing the symbol of peace. All Might."

"But aren't their other ways of going about your goal? I mean why not try and change it instead of destroy it?" Midoriya said anxiously twisting her hands.

Shigaraki sighed and set his hands on Midoriya's shoulders. "Could come with me. I think it's time we talked."

They returned and sat down on the couch in Tomura's room and he took in a deep breath. "A lot has happened in these past few days and we haven't really talked about the ramifications of what this means. I have to tell you my ideals have always been what they are however crude they may have been in the past."

"Hero society is broken and fractured." Before Izuku could speak he cut in. "Please Izuku I know what your going to say. For once hear me out first." Izuku nodded. "This society and it's obsession with quirks has fixed it so your quirk is what essentially defines you not who you are as a person. While the powers that be are so hung up on having a strong quirk but only so long as you have the right quirk, right? That's what separates myself as well as the rest of the league members from society. We don't belong here in present society. We've been rejected, cast out from paradise, abandoned by society as well as our families."

Shigaraki held up an empty pop can and put all five fingers to it instantly reducing it to a pile of dust. He let it slip through his fingers. "Do you really think I belong in this society when all I can do is destroy? There is no place for me in hero society or that of my companions. Hell up until over a year ago there was no place for you Midoriya. Because if there is one thing a society obsessed with quirks can't abide is someone with out one." he said looking Midoriya in the eye.

"Look at the rest of the league. Toga should still be in school right now but because of her quirk, no one understanding or accepting her quirk. She has been forced to suppress it because no one accepted her as a person and because she had to deny herself so long she became a murderer. They won't let her live a normal life."

Izuku swallowed for she had been nervous around Toga and the rest of the league but she was getting the full story right now.

"How about Twice? Can you imagine anyone being mad at him? All he did is get in a motorbike accident and it wasn't even his fault but he got all the blame. He had no parents, no family, he lost his job and no one would hire him. In order for him to live he turned to theft. Shouldn't society be to blame for them becoming villains?"

"After, all it's society who makes these laws? Plenty of people break the laws and yet get off scot-free. How many of those heroes cheat on their taxes or abuse their families? Or Business leaders who embezzle and lie to the public? Cops who arrest or shoot the wrong person? Do they ever go down for their wrongs? No, because this fucked up society protects them. It's the ones on the bottom of society who take the fall."

"That is why I want to destroy this society by killing it's symbol. Granted All Might isn't what he once was. Society will collapse and fall apart and with the league and you they can rebuild a better society. One where it won't matter what quirk you possess or even if you haven't one at all." he said brushing a lose strand of hair behind Midoriya's ear.

"Izuku, I hate this society. I hate close to everyone but you...You are all I care about. You are what keeps me sane. I love you and I'm asking you to stand by my side while we take on society and tear it down. I know you have dreams and ambitions too. But do you really want to be another cog in this fucked up society? Turning innocent people into criminals. Locking people away without a trial. Do you want to sit back and watch as more people fall through the cracks as undesirables? Do you want the league, and me in Tartarus?"

Tomura swallowed. "Because that is my fate, Izuku. I have killed too many to ever be dealt a fair hand. I've known all my life all I am good for is destruction but with you you I have hope for the first time in my miserable life." he said with a small smile.

Tears came to Midoriya's eyes. "No, Tomuchan I don't want to be locked away but I can't just stand by while you harm or kill innocent people. People have already been hurt enough as it is."

Then Midoriya looked into Shigaraki's eyes "I can help you Tomura. Please if you love me let me help you?"

"Don't use my words against me Izuku" Shigaraki said closing his eyes in disappointment. "This is who I am."

"But what if it doesn't work out? What if you get yourself killed?" Izuku said.

Shigaraki wiped Midoriya's tears away "Is that what your worried about? Izuku the odds of my dying are very slim. For one I have a very strong quirk and second my master has left behind something for me. I'm not going anywhere." He leaned in and began to softly kiss Izuku's lips.

"Everything will be fine. Do you trust me?" he asked smiling.

"Yes, Tomuchan I trust you." she said brushing a few stray tears away.

"Well, how about you show me your smile." he said and Izuku did her best to put on a smile.

Shigaraki leaned back in for a kiss putting his arms around Izuku's waist while Izuku wrapped her arms around Shigaraki's neck. It was a deep and blissful kiss almost causing the lovers to forget the matter at hand. Till there was a knock at the door and Shigaraki sighed and then pulled away.

"Yes, who is it?" he called.

Dabi spoke through the door "Hey, Boss I need to talk to you about some recruits and a mission coming up."

Shigaraki shook his head hands still on Midoriya's waist "The one time he is actually here. Sorry Izuku I have to go duty calls. Well talk more later." he said before going in for another kiss and pulling Izuku tight.

Then he got up and headed for the door pulling Father from his pocket. He opened the door and said "Yes, what is it? You know you have really bad timing. You do realize this don't you?" then he stepped through shutting the door.

Dabi just stood their with a cocky grin fully aware of what he had interrupted.

"Sorry boss, play times over. Time to work."

Shigaraki shot a death glare at Dabi and shut the door.

Izuku knew what she had do and the strategies began to take shape in her mind. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number heading into the bathroom where she knew she would not be heard.

"They want a collaboration? Are you for real?" Shigaraki said in disbelief.

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself but Redestro was adamant he wants us to visit the mansion and talk." Dabi said as he sat on the couch left leg propped up on right knee he took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled smoke. It came out like a long blue snake.

"How do we know they agree with our mission?" Shigaraki said.

"Well, here give this a read. I got it from a recruit of ours." Dabi said throwing a book onto the coffee table a red feather fluttered to the ground unnoticed.

Shigaraki picked it up looking at the cover. "It's been on the best sellers list for the past few months. This is not the first edition either. It's been in and out of print for the past twenty years or so." Dabi said lazily as he continued with his cigarette.

"Big deal they have a book so what?" Shigaraki said.

"That and members in the six digits range could boost our numbers since we lost several members just the other month and enough wealth to keep them a float for a few decades." Dabi said sarcastically.

"No, your shitting me?" Shigaraki said in surprise.

"It's all here in this give it a look over if you don't believe me." Dabi said flicking a flash drive onto the coffee table.

Shigaraki picked it up and then plugged it into his laptop he opened the drive up and began reading over what he saw. "Shit!" Shigaraki said his eyes going wide.

"Yeah, I know they would fund our little organization." Dabi said tilting his head back to gaze at the ceiling.

"Alright, lets organize a meeting then. Well all go." Shigaraki said going back to looking over the data.

"Sure thing, boss." Dabi said stubbing out his cigarette. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the inner pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out a cigarette then he put the pack back in his pocket. He illuminated his left hand with blue flames igniting his cigarette then with a wave of his hand the flames became extinguished.

"I've been meaning to ask you a question Shigaraki." Dabi said placing the cancer stick to his lips.

"About what?" Shigaraki said eyes lifting from the laptop.

"It's about your childhood sweetheart." Dabi said deadpanned and sarcastic.

"What about her?" Shigaraki said eyes squinting and becoming defensive.

"Well, can you trust her? I mean up until a few days ago she was a hero student right? What makes you think she's giving that all up to come slum with us?" Dabi said.

"I have only known Izuku for years whereas you have known her for days. I think I know who I can and can't trust. Anyway aren't you calling the kettle black? Don't think I don't know about that little bird you've been in contact with." Shigaraki said in argument.

"Hey, easy. I'm just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into dragging her into all this. That's all. And as for the little bird you don't have to worry about that. It's all apart of my plans." Dabi said taking another long drag and exhaling a wavering circle.

Shigaraki glared and waved his hand at the smoke in disgust. "Plans, huh? Would you mind sharing some of these plans with me or the rest of the league?" Shigaraki asked.

"Not really but I'll say this much. When shit goes down just remember to save Endeavor for me. You have your fixation on All Might and I have mine." Dabi said cerulean eyes turning hard and voice going cold.

Shigaraki decided he wanted to introduce her to the one person in his life who mattered the most to him All For One. He wanted to seek his master's approval. By having the two meet perhaps sensei could convince Midoriya to fully join his league and together they could be an unstoppable super couple out to destroy hero society and put it back together again.

He had not told Midoriya where they were going only they were to meet a friend and associate of Shigaraki's. He made sure she wore something nice for the occasion and felt his heart beating fast when he saw her in a red dress that even Kurogiri had approved. He had left her alone with Toga and Magne to get made up for the visit he himself had made himself presentable as well. Donning his trench coat, hands, and wearing a suit with Father present on his face. Shigaraki took father from his face before brushing a kiss to Izuku's cheek

"You look beautiful as always Izuku." he complimented with a small smile. "Are you ready?"

"Thank you, Tomuchan. Yes, I am." Midoriya replied.

Shigaraki linked his arm through Midoriya's and led her through the portal that Kurogiri had waiting along with the help of Dr. Ujiko he had created a psychic portal so they would be making contact with All For One mentally as opposed to physically.

"You have a window of thirty minutes." Kurogiri said as they passed through.

Once in the psychic portal that was when Midoriya realized who Tomura's "friend" was.

"All For One?" she gasped upon seeing the once mighty super villain heavily restrained in his maximum security cell through the portal.

"Master" Shigaraki said bowing and kneeling on the floor out of respect for his teacher.

"Tomura what on earth are you doing? Are you so dependent upon me?" All For One scolded his mentee.

"I understand Master but I wanted you to meet someone who means the world to me. Her name is Izuku Midoriya." he said looking up in reverence.

"Is this the one you have been neglecting your duties for then? Well, child come closer let me have a look at you. I promise I won't bite." All For One said with a mocking grin.

Midoriya stepped a shaky foot forward wondering how someone with no eyes could see her. She focused on remembering how All Might had defeated him in battle with the last of his quirk. She was speechless what could she possibly have to say to her mentors lifelong nemesis and the one who had been responsible for Shigaraki as he was today.

"Yes, I certainly do see what you see in her she is very beautiful. I can also feel a strong quirk in her as well." All For One said assessing her. He smirked because he could detect One For All even through the psychic barrier.

Midoriya could only look on in disbelief as he was terribly disfigured and had no eyes to speak of so how he was able to see her much less anything was beyond her.

Shigaraki then spoke "Master, She is the love of my life. I know this is not apart of what we had planned but I believe she can help me with my goal. I want your blessing."

Midoriya looked at Shigaraki and immediately she understood what was happening. He was asking for permission to love and to be loved by his paternal figure. It was almost sweet and heartwarming if it wasn't between two supervillains in a maximum security prison.

"I see Tomura is that what you wanted? You are in charge now and a leader sure to surpass even me you don't require my permission anymore." AFO replied.

"I understand Master. I just wished to ask is all." Shigaraki said.

"Tomura do you think it would be possible for me to have a word with your intended alone?" All For One asked.

Shigaraki looked between the two. "Of course Sensei." he replied.

Midoriya went up to Shigaraki about to protest when he spoke "It will be alright. I've trusted him with my life. I will return." The portal reopened and Shigaraki passed through till it closed.

Midoriya then set her veridian eyes on the imposing figure before her even though it was merely a psychic link, he was restrained, and a shadow of his former self. She remained on her guard.

"So your the one who has been distracting my predecessor all this time? And have taken on the mantle of One For All." All For One replied smugly.

"Yes, and what of it?" Midoriya quipped back even though she was anxious.

"Oh, so the kitten has some bite to her does she. You know he will never be what you want little girl. I have raised him and nurtured him for far too long to have you get in my way." he said.

"Oh, so it's your way? That's funny I thought you both shared the same philosophy having a mentor and mentee relationship and all?" she asked sarcastically.

"You would never understand you had everything handed to you an easy life. Shigaraki has suffered more due to quirks and heroes then you can imagine. When I found him he was close to death's doorstep. Being only an innocent child well, I took him in sheltered him and taught him everything I know. Now look at him ready to take on my mantel and become the next number one villain there is. He will knock these heroes off their pedestal's and bring the world to it's knees." All For One said fondly.

"No, you don't know the first thing about me." Midoriya said. "And second what you did was take an innocent, emotionally abused, and scared child and you twisted him and corrupted him. That is what you did. I won't let you continue to send him down this path of self-destruction you have him set on. It's best you stay away from him, cut off communication from him, set him free. Sit in this cell and rot forgotten by the world. You owe him that much. Let him be happy and try to lead a normal life for once." Midoriya said standing up to All For One.

All For One sat there fuming through her speech when she was finished he started laughing catching Midoriya off guard.

"And so the claws come out little kitten. It's too late for that I'm afraid. Just listen to yourself, you claim to love him and know him so well. Yet you know absolutely nothing about him do you? This is his life's ambition to destroy a society that has continually let him down and as a result you want to change him? If you can't join his side then you may as well commit suicide here and now because their is no stopping us you foolish girl. You maybe All Might's successor but you are no less foolish then he nor any of those other fools were who have tried to stop me." he said.

"The fact you have this whole act of caring for him when in reality all you care about is having someone who will follow the same destructive path you have been on for most of your life. I find it utterly revolting." Midoriya said.

Midoriya was crestfallen by his words it was then the portal opened and Shigaraki returned.

"I am sorry Master but Kurogiri said it was time for us to cut our visit short the window of time has been hacked." he said he looked at Midoriya's face and felt the atmosphere. "What has happened here?" Shigaraki asked.

"Tomura you do not need my blessing for your future. You are a leader now go ahead with your plans do as you see fit. I look forward to the future outcome." All For One said sitting back with a smile on his face, "For now this is goodbye."

"Thank you, Master." Shigaraki said bowing and then took Midoriya's arm and together they exited the portal back to the hideout.

Once through the portal Midoriya had a question burning on her tongue.

"Tomuchan, why were you asking for his permission are you not allowed to have friends let alone a relationship?" Midoriya asked Shigaraki when they finally had a moment alone.

"No, it's not like that Izuku. I just wanted a way to tell him my future intentions. The future I see with you by my side." Shigaraki said he looked down fingering at the claddagh ring still on Midoriya's finger.

"You see Midoriya I want us to be more than just girlfriend and boyfriend. I-I want to spend my life with you. It's always been you. I love you Midoriya. Do you want what I want in return?" Tomura said. The poor boy was terribly anxious, his crimson eyes full of hope and fear, his teeth nibbling his lip.

Midoriya thought it over for so long she has known this boy no man. They had shared so many secrets and dreams with one another. How could she refuse. In truth she loved him dearly.

Tomura looked a nervous wreck until Midoriya shook her head from running a mile a minute and said "I only want to be with you. Tomura I love you too."

Tomura pulled her into his arms in an embrace all the while minding his fingers. Then they began kissing before pulling away to smile at each other. They were in love and had basically pledged their lives to be together. The next step would be to become engaged.

They each harbored their own ideals and plans for the future and while they may have a similar agenda they were still polar opposites.
