Twice said that he will bring a formidable ally in the new headquarters of the League of Villains and Shigaraki gave him permission to bring whoever it is. Nekta was not so sure about it, but she let the leading to her brother.

Midoriya, Bakugo and Todoroki are all in one side of the rundown headquarters while Nekta stood beside Shigaraki with her new villain outfit. Her old white hoodie is now black with red horizontal lines and insides. Unlike her previous top, this acts more like a hanging with a black sports bra underneath.

Her white pants also changed into black with the same red horizontal line on the upper right and lower left tight. Her old combat boots also changed into a knee high leather boots with one inch heels. The bandages in her arms are now gone and are replaced by armbands and her gloves are changed into black leather gloves.

"Hey, Todoroki-kun, you sure this color suits me? I kinda starting to miss my own green," Midoriya asked, ruffling his now blue-green hair. Not much changed in his appearance but his hair color. He likes his villain clothes so much that he stole a new after all his other sets got destroyed in the Kamino incident.

"Yeah, dude! It suits you! You're rocking the new look!" Todoroki said, playing with a ball of ice, doing some tricks he's been practicing. Nothing changed about his appearance too. He still kept his blue and black dyed hair, but his skin has visibly turned paler, "Hmm. Maybe I'll try some new looks too. Hey, Bakugo! Let's go get some new groove so that way, the whole Marauders get new looks!"

"Shut up, half-a**!" Bakugo snarled and glared. His ego is violated so many times for the past three to four months and he's sick of it! The only reason he's here is because of Nekta.

The door opened up with Twice coming in with the said ally. He introduces the person and the Marauders reacted immediately. Midoriya's eyes widened, Todoroki dropped his ice ball, Bakugo leaned away from the wall and Nekta looked at Shigaraki.

"Aniki, he's..."

"You four looks familiar," the man said. His distinguished beak-shaped mask, feathery jacket and dark hair and eyes, "Oh, you're the teenagers in the alleyway the other day."

"You know this guy, Nekta?" Shigaraki asked and Nekta glared at the man.

"We've met before. We encountered him in an alleyway in Tokyo and he's with a young girl," she said and she clutches her hands. This guy is trouble and she have to tell Shigaraki that. Midoriya walked over to Nekta and whispered something.

"Aren't we suppose to meet up with Eri-chan?" He asked and Nekta clicked her tongue.

"Not now, Deku," she scolded and Chisaki Kai, otherwise known as Overhaul, and Shigaraki started talking. Every word he said screams trouble and it irritates both Shigaraki and Nekta.

Shigaraki didn't seem to click with his ideals and so as Overhaul. He even mentioned All For One which really made Nekta glare at him. He praised their master, but at the same time, insulted them. He also openly said that he'll rule over the villains which Shigaraki didn't really like.

That's when the two had enough of each other's guts. Nekta reacted when Chisaki showed signs of assault when the other league members talked with him. Unfortunately, Magne's fate isn't too good as to where Overhaul demonstrated his quirk.

"What the--" Nekta exclaimed and Mr Compress also tried confronting him with Nekta trying to hold him back, but Overhaul also lifted his hand against him. Now Mr Compress lost his arm.

That's when the attempted alliance between them never happened.

Nekta was out without her team not too far from their headquarters. She crouches down by a huge rock with her hood over head. She fiddles with her braided hair and think for herself.

All For One's in jail. They lost a comrade, almost another and probably made another enemy in the identity of Overhaul, a yakuza.

Yeah, sure. AllMight's out of the picture. He probably wouldn't be in the field of Heroes anymore and stay as a boring teacher in UA, but something's bothering her. Why isn't she sure all of the sudden?

She's a confident villain that kills for pleasure, steals for fun, mess people up for fun and just do crimes as she please. That's her. That's Syren. The villain that proudly holds the title Youngest Villain. But after All For One's defeat, she just can't be sure anymore.

"Sh*t. I feel like a loser," she muttered for herself but she didn't expect a reply.

"Tch, you just noticed that?" She turned around and saw Bakugo snarling at her as he stood just behind the rock.

"What are you doing here?" She sternly asked and Bakugo growled, "Are you trying to escape again?

"Look, b*tch. I've learned my lesson that I can't leave unless you want to. I'm not f*cking dumb, you sh*t," he said and Nekta huffed, standing up.

"Ha! So you're saying you finally accepted your fate that you are now one of us," she said, crossing her arms over her chest and Bakugo snarled.

"Like hell! I have plans for myself and sh*tty fate has no rights to f*cking dictate me!" He spatted and Nekta glared.

"Well, like it or not. You're now a villain. Four months. Get it? Four months since I've captured you and you're still denying that you are not one of us," she said, holding out four fingers. Bakugo now has an irk mark on his forehead.

They don't usually talk and when they do, it's more like an argument. He's not like Midoriya and Todoroki who are both psyched and have minds of children. He's perfectly sane. Just a denial Stockholm Syndrome victim.

"Don't say you capture me like I'm some kind of Pokémon!" He yelled which earned an eye roll from the Latina beauty.

"Hmph. Anyway, back to my question. Why are you here?" She asked again and Bakugo averted his eyes but said nothing. Yep. She's more casual with the Marauders than Dabi, Toga, Twice or any other lower ranked members of the league.

"Never mind. It's not like I expect you to answer anyway," she said and sat back down. Then she remembered Bakugo's condition. Stockholm Syndrome. It's not as severe as Midoriya's Mood Swings and Todoroki's ADHD, but identifying with your captor? That really did something to Bakugo's pride.

"So tell me, what do you feel about me?" Nekta asked, Bakugo and the boy turned to her, "You have Stockholm Syndrome. That only means you, in a way, feels a connection with me since I am your captor."

"Tch, I won't tell you," he stubbornly said and Nekta casually pulled Bakugo's invisible leash.

"Tell me, you brat. I'm curious," she demanded as Bakugo's face twitches and turns red. Rolling her eyes, Nekta released him and the younger teen gasped for air.

"Damn it, b*tch! I'll kill you!" He threatens but she only mocked him, made a face and leaned against the rock.

"Yeah sure. Let me see you try," she said and Bakugo lifted his fist to strike her, but paused. Nekta raised an eyebrow at him and the boy grunted in frustration and sat down on the opposite side if the rock, "Thought so."

"Shut up!" Silence enveloped the two of them for about three to five minutes until one of them finally decided to break it.

"Why did you acted so nice to that horned brat?" Bakugo asked and Nekta knows that he is referring to Eri, Overhaul's said daughter, "I imagine that'll be the last thing a villain will do."

"Not all villains are heartless, Katsuki," Nekta replied immediately and pulled her left leg closer to her, "Overhaul is anything but an ally and that girl deserves better."

"Tch, you talk big for someone who kills people," he spatted and Nekta raised an eyebrow.

"Says the guy who shouts for no good reason," she retorted, making an irk mark appear on the blond teen's forehead.

"Shut up! I have reasons!"

"Oh yeah! Anger Management."

"Ack! Go to hell!" He screamed and suddenly turned silent. His childish anger kinda reminds her of Shigaraki and that makes her smirk. Teasing Bakugo has always been fun.

"Say. Why do you want to be a hero?" She asked, feeling quite comfortable with the ongoing conversation. She leaned her head back to the rock and waited for his answer.

"Why are you curious all of the sudden?"

"I already know Deku and Shoto's reason. Now what is yours?" She asked again and she heard Bakugo growl before muttering something under his breath, "Man. Speak louder."

"I've always admired AllMight's truimph, damn it!" He screamed and Nekta's eyes widened. She stood up and look at Bakugo in the other side of the rock and crossed her arms.

"So you're another AllMight fanboy, huh?" She teased again and Bakugo clicked his tongue, standing up.

"Won't you stop with the quirky comments? It's so f*cking annoying," he growled, glaring at Nekta who chuckled. Oh, nothing's better than seeing someone so frustrated by her, "And why do you became all so suddenly curious about me when neither of us knows anything about you?!"

"Aniki and Kurogiri know," she replied, monotonously.

"Yeah, like that answers my question," Bakugo growled and Nekta finally let out a laugh for the first time in a while and it really surprised Bakugo, "What are you laughing at, huh?!"

"You're...haha...you're just so fun to watch when frustrated. Deku and Shoto are not easily annoyed as you are," she said stopped and took a deep breath, "And I just don't like talking about my past."

"Tch, b*tch," he muttered and Nekta crossed her arms over her chest and they stood in silence. This might've been their longest conversation so far and it's more casual than they both thought.

"Why did you even became a villain?" She turned back to Bakugo who muttered that question. He stared right to her with a pretty serious look.

"Because unlike you and Deku. I hate AllMight and he's the top dog of the heroes. I genuinely hate AllMight," she said with a strict, hard glare. She's glad that AllMight is out of the hero business, but the hatred never fades and she still wants him dead.

"That's practically too shallow for a reason. I don't know much about your f*cking backstory, but, as much as I hate to say this, you're smarter than to be a villain because of simple hatred," Bakugo said and Nekta's eyes widened. He actually said something quite smart for the first time since she met him and she admits that it amuses her.

"You're right. That is a dumb reason. However, just like you said, you don't know anything about me and my past so shut the f*ck up," she said with an intense glare before turning around to walk away.

"I have one question though. What was that kiss for a few months ago?" Nekta stopped and she felt her cheeks slightly heat up, "That time in the alley. What was that for?"

"That's the f-fastest way I-I could inject emphatic p-parasite into you because those darn heroes appeared. Don't make a big deal about that," she said and quickly walked away, leaving Bakugo there with an amused look on his face.

She's not the only one who can play that game.
