Y/N looked around the surroundings he had just stepped into as he walked out of Kurogiri's dark portal, finding himself on the other side of it. He looked over his shoulder for a second, watching how the portal he had just used was closed and vanished from his view. He turned away from where the portal used to be a second earlier and shifted his attention back to the place he had just found himself in.

He once again looked around himself, this time taking more time to do so as he wanted to get a better understanding the place he had just found himself in, thanks to Kurogiri's portal. There wasn't much he could say about this place if he was honest with himself as it was a badly looking small apartament many villains would use to stay in if they wanted to lay low, just like Twice did because many people wouldn't think someone would stay in a place like this for the unknown amount of time.

The h/c haired boy nodded his head to himself after getting to know the new surroundings better, seeing Twice wasn't exaggerating when he said his hideout was small before the League parted ways to lay low. He started to look for Twice right after. It didn't took him long to find his fellow villain from the League as Twice walked into the room of the apartament Y/N was just transported to by Kurogiri.

Twice didn't change much since the last time he saw him. He still wore the mask he was always used to cover his face with. His clothes were slightly different, though as they were more usual, instead of his usual villain costume. Y/N wasn't really suprised by the casual part of the outfit Twice had on himself right now as it was perfect sense for him to why he wouldn't have his full villain outfit on himself right now. The view of Twice's mask brought back some question regarding Twice the h/c haired boy had buried somewhere in his head since Camino Ward, though.

"Hi there, Y/N! Great to see you again! It's been a while since we saw each other in person!" Twice greeted Y/N with a friendly enthusiastic wave of his hand as he stopped in his tracks as soon as he set his eyes on Y/N, "What are you doing here? Why did you just walked into my hideout without my permission? Weren't you taught how to knock?"

Y/N waved back at Twice, knowing he should ignore the other part because of the split personality Twice was suffering from, "Hello, Twice. It's good to see you too. It's been a while since we saw each other indeed. I hope I'm not interrupting you anything."

"Don't worry. I wasn't doing anything right now." Twice waved off Y/N's worries aside as he stepped closer to Y/N, "I just received a call from Kurogiri you will be coming here to talk with me about something. Is this about the yakuza I told Kurogiri about yesterday when I called him?"

"Yes." Y/N nodded in confirmation, "Tomura-kun wanted me to talk with you about the yakuza you have stumbled upon before he will decided wheter we should arrange a meeting between our organizations or not."

"I see. Makes sense. Should I explain everything to your right now?" Twice nodded in understanding, "What I am supposed to say to you about yakuza? It's yakuza! You should know everything you need to know about it right away!"

"In a moment." Y/N answered, "Would you mind if I took a seat somewhere?"

"Not at all. Come on. I'll take you to a place where we can sit and talk." Twice shook his head and motioned Y/N to follow him, "A place where you can sit? Aren't you abusing my hospitality a little?"

Twice walked into the room he had just walked out of as Y/N silently followed him, finding himself in what appeared to be a kitchen. There wasn't much Y/N could say about it as it was in the same state as the part of the apartament he had just walked out of with Twice. There was one thing he quickly noticed about the kitchen. It was a small bowl filled with cigarette butts on the windowsill of the small window in the middle of the wall in front of the two villains. Y/N had no idea Twice was a smoker until now.

"Here." Twice pointed at something on his and Y/N's left as Y/N looked in the direction he was pointing it and saw two chairs with a small table between them, "We can sit here."

"Alright." Y/N nodded as he followed Twice to the table. He took his seat on the seat on the left as Twice took his seat on the set on the right, "So. How you have been doing after Camino Ward?"

"Pretty good. At least I think so. I know this place may look like it's not the best to stay in, but it's still better than most places I stayed at after I got fired from my job many years ago and it allowed to lay low without raising any suspicions from anyone." Twice gave him an honest answer, "This place is a hellhole to stay in! It might have a working electricity, but I hated every day I had to stay in this hellhole!"

Y/N raised his brow at him, "Your job?"

"Yeah. I got fired from it because of one mistake. Couldn't find a new job after that." Twice explained.

Y/N looked at Twice with pity on his face, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear it."

"It's okay. You didn't know." Twice replied, smilling behind his mask as he appreciated Y/N's words, "I don't need your pity, you brat! Let's just ger to talking yakuza and get this over with!" Twice clenched his teeth as he clutched the left side of his head, "Shut up. Can't you see he's just trying to be nice?"

Y/N rubbed his neck as he watched Twice argue with his split personality. It was something he wondered about Twice since his first meeting with Twice back in the bar. Where did he got his split personality from? He actually never learned about it from Twice or from anyone else from the League. Could this have something to do with the fact why Twice wasn't making copies of himself and was only making copies of his comrades? Could this have been the reason why he was keeping his face covered for most of the time?

He nodded his head to himself, having decided to ask Twice if he could explain some things about himself to him. If he will want to provide the answer to the questions he had regarding him. He was not going to force him into saying him anything if he didn't want to, "Twice? Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah? What is it?" Twice replied with a question of his own, "What do you want to know now? We were supposed to talk about only about yakuza!"

"Where did you get your split personality from?" Y/N revealed the question bugging him to Twice, "You don't need to explain it to me if you don't want to. I just couldn't stop thinking about it when it came to you ever since you joined the League."

Twice silently stared at Y/N for a few seconds before replying to his question, "Fine. I suppose I can tell you."

"Are you sure?" Y/N wanted to be sure if Twice wasn't forcing himself into it, "You know you don't have to force yourself."

"No. It's fine. You're just concerned and I don't want you to keep concerned as I don't want to cause you any trouble." Twice reassured him, "Are you serious right now? Haven't you heard about a thing called privacy?"

Y/N nodded at him, "Okay."

"Let's start with the beginning. Alright?" Twice started to explained his story to Y/N as Y/N gave him another nod, "As you already know, my Quirk is Twice. It's a simple power that turns one thing into two. I can make a clone of myself and then make clones from that clone. Or at least I used to do it before the incident. After the loss of my job, I had to find a way to earn living for myself. I couldn't find a new job so I had to start doing villainous stuff to survive?"

"Why you couldn't find another job?" Y/N wanted to know, "Did something happened at your old job to make you unable to find a new one?"

"Yes." Twice nodded in confirmation, "It happened when I was sixteen year old." Y/N's eyes widened at the information of Twice being around his age when it happened, "I accidentally hit a man with my motorcycle and had broken his arm. It wasn't really my fault as I was following the rules. It was just a honest mistake as he walked straight into the street out of nowhere. The police didn't saw it the same way, though and I ended up with a criminal record, preventing me from finding any other job to support myself. I was fired from my job the soon after as the guy I hit turned out to be working an important client."

"Why did you have to support yourself with a job at sixteen year old? Was your family having financial problems?" Y/N asked.

"No. My parents died when I was a kid and I had to support myself as I didn't have any extended family members I could stay with." Twice's explained as Y/n's eyes widened at the information.

"How did they die?" Y/N asked him another question.

"A villain attack." Twice let out a dry chuckle, "It kinda ironic now, considering where I ended up, right?"

"I know the feeling." Y/N admitted as Twice looked at him questioningly, "Me and Midoriya-kun used to play heroes and villains together a lot when we were younger. I always played the villain and he always played the hero. Who would have known this is how our lives would have turned out, right?"

"I remember you bringing up this fact earlier. You mentioned it to Bakugo before he cut you off, right?" Twice wanted to be sure.

Y/N nodded in confirmation, "Yeah."

"Alright. I should go back to the story." Twice nodded in understanding, "Haven't I already told you enough? Don't you see this isn't a happy story?"

"Are you sure about this?" Y/N wanted to be sure if Twice wanted to continue.

"Yeah. I already started the story to you. I see no sense in ending now." Twice replied, "After I lost my job, I was left with nothing and no one. As the time passed and I continued to wander the streets all by myself, I started making clones of myself to give myself someone to talk to."

Y/N sighed sadly as he continued to listen to Twice's story, beginning to feel more sorry for him the more words he uttered. He couldn't help but feel sympathy towards him as well. He knew how it felt like to be alone. He got to experience how it felt like it many times whenever Izuku couldn't show himself at school for some reason. Twice stopped himself from saying more after seeing Y/N sigh and looked at him questioningly.

"I'm sorry to hear you felt so lonely to the point when you had to make clones out of yourself company. I know how it feels alone to be alone." He offered his symapthies to Twice and went to explaining everything to him as soon as he saw his fellow villain looking at him, "I was always left alone in school whenever Midoriya-kun couldn't come to school for some reason. Most of the students didn't talk with me at school. The only students who would talk to me when it happened would be the bullies. The other students saw it happening as if often would happen in the middle of the hallway and just ignored it. The same goes for the teachers."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Y/N. You already know, I know what it's like to feel completely alone, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." Twice offered his sympathies to his fellow villain in response to Y/N's sympathies and explanation as Y/N nodded at them with a grateful look on his face, "The little asshole deserved what you gave him in Camino! You should have finished it with a kick to the face!"

"Yeah. I wouldn't wish it to most people as well." Y/N nodded in agreement, "I'm just glad I finally found myself surrounded by the people who aren't treating me like a subhuman and I can call my friends, you know?" He sighed, "A shame I had to become a villain for it to happen."

Twice nodded in understanding and went back to his story, "With me becoming homeless after the loss of my job, I had to turn to crime because I had nothing else. Having such a large amount of my clones to do my crimes and everything else, I became some sort of king a pack to them. Things eventually went downhill. My clones ended up rebelling and started killing each other right in front of me. I had my forehead split up by one of them and had to watch my clones kill each other over and over again."

Y/N gasped, looking at Twice shock and pity written all over his face as soon as Twice told him what happened between him and his clones. The h/c haired boy shook his head to himself as he continued to listen to Twice's story. He just couldn't imagine how he would felt if he had to go through something like this. It didn't took him long to realize it must have been the reason why Twice was suffering from split personality.

"After what happened, I started to really struggle mentally feeling as if I was splitting. This is why I keep my face covered for most of the time." Twice continued his story as Y/N silently stared at him in shock. He pointed at his mask to clarify his point, "I wandered around for a long time after it happened and was eventually advised by Giran to find the place where I could find people I could trust. This is when he recommended the League to me and this is how I found myself where I am right now."

Y/N shook his head with pity written all over his face as Twice finished his story, feeling bad he made Twice relive all those terrible memories, "Twice. I'm sorry all of those terrible things happened to you. Has no one tried to help you?"

"Help me? Who would? Heroes only care about saving good citizens. Just like you said to your former classmate back in Camino, to them we're not humans." Twice replied, reminding Y/N of the speech about villains he gave Bakugo back in Camino Ward, "This is why I appreciate the League and every single member of it as much as I do and will do my best to make sure I will make myself useful to you someday as a way of returning the favor for accepting me into the League. I don't want to be a liability who will cause you only trouble. All of you have accepted me for the way I am and I like to think I'm fine with with I am too because of it."

Y/N reached his right hand out to Twice and put it on his shoulder in a comforting manner. He knew how it feel like to feel useless and knew how it felt like to have the need of wanting to show the other people you're useful to them more than he wanted to admit, "You don't need to feel like you hadn't already made yourself useful for us, Twice. You already made yourself useful to our organization back when we attacked the summer camp and when the heroes attacked us back in Camino Ward by assisting in both. Those aren't the only two situations when you made yourself useful to us. You made yourself useful to us right now as you found possible new League members."

'Thanks, Y/N." Twice smiled at him behind his mask, appreciating his words. He rubbed the back of his head after his split personality uttered those words, feeling like he had to say something to Y/N, "You know what? Thank you for this conversation. I felt like I needed it."

"No problem." Y/N smiled back at him, "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah." Twice nodded at him, his smile remaining on his face, "This friends bullshit is so annoying!"

"So. What do you know about the yakuza?" Y/N asked, wanting to learn more about the possible recruits for the League Twice had stumbled upon as Twice nodded at him and went to explaining everything he knew about them to him right away, finally having the conversation Y/N came here to have with him in the first place.

-----

Origami narrowed her eyes at the three bottles in front of her and she had her Colt M1911 pistol aimed at the glass bottle in the middle of the glass bottles which were standing on top of the crate a few meters in front of her, doing her best to make sure she will land her shot. Mustard was standing next to her with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed at her, watching her carefully as he waited for her to give her shot.

The dark green haired girl moved her pistol to the side a little, correcting herself a bit to make herself more certain she will land her shot as she was readying herself to take the shot. She was in the middle of the next shooting lesson from Mustard right now. Mustard started giving her shooting lessons whenever the two of them had some free time to do after she asked him if he could give her some lessons after she started carrying a pistol with herself.

Her progress in the terms of shooting a gun was slowly and steady. She was pretty terrible at it when Mustard started teaching her, but she was getting better with each lesson from him. When she started her shooting lessons when she was laying low with Y/N, Mustard and Toga in Mustard's hideout, she was unable to hit any of her targets, resulting in all of her bullets going to the waste. Fortunately, she was way past that stage and was able to hit most of her targets, with occasional misses there and there.

Y/N and Toga were nowhere to be found near her and Mustard right now. The two of them never really joined her and Mustard during their shooting lessons. The two of them came to their shooting lessons once or twice to cheer on her, but never participated in them as Toga was not interested in learning how to use a gun properly because of her love for knives and all kinds of blades and Y/N didn't have to teach himself how to use a gun properly because of him wanting to focus on training his Quirk for now.

She had no idea where Toga was in the warehouse right now and what she was doing right now to be honest as she hadn't gotten a chance to talk with her for a while. She wouldn't be suprised if Toga was spending time with Magne and catching up with her, just like she and Mr. Compress catched up with Magne shorty after she arrived at the warehouse yesterday. The dark green haired girl couldn't help but feel like she forgot something regarding the blond haired girl

On the other hand, she knew where Y/N should be right now as he informed her about Shigaraki sending him today to talk with Twice about the possible recruits for the League he managed to come across during a walk he was laying low in his hideout last night before the two of them parted ways and went to sleep. The dark green haired girl felt herself growing slightly worried about Y/N, making herself lose her focus on her targets.

She shook her head to herself, making sure to keep her pistol aimed at her targets and to regain her focus on her targers as she couldn't help but ask herself what caused her to become so worried for Y/N out of the sudden. His mission wasn't anything dangerous. He was just going to talk with Twice about the possible recruits for the League. It's not like the heroes will catch him today as they shouldn't be aware of where Twice's hideout was located.

Origami just couldn't understand as those thoughts became the only subject on her mind right now. Why did she grew so worried for Y/N? She would understand if he was sent on a mission during which he could have gotten caught if he wasn't careful enough. The mission he was sent on today was a simple mission where he had to talk with one of their associates about the possible new recruits for their organization. It wasn't anything she should worry about.

She shook her head for another time, pushing all of those out of her mind as she knew she had to focus on her targets right now. She was supposed to show Mustard she was getting better at shooting, not worry about Y/N going out on such a simple mission. Thankfully, she managed to gain her focus on her targets back as she managed to push those thoughts out of her mind a few seconds later.

The dark green haired girl let out a deep breath as she pulled the trigger and fired a single shot at the bottle in front of her. A small smile grew on her face as she saw the bottle cracked into pieces, followed by the sound of glass shattering and landing on the floor. She wasted no time and fired her pistol two more times. It was followed by more sounds of a glass bottle shattering, meaning she managed to land her shots. She put down her smoking pistol, having no further need to keep it aimed and turned around to look at Mustard.

"Good shots." Mustard told her as soon as she set her eyes on him, "For a second I was starting to think you weren't going to shoot."

Origami looked at him with an apologetic look on her face, "Yeah. I know. I'm sorry. I just lost myself in my thoughts over something and had to gain my focus on the targets back."

Mustard raised his brow, "What made you lose your focus?"

Origami looked away from him, blushing slightly in embarassment, "Nothing."

"Fine. If you say so." Mustard replied. He knew something must have started bothering her when she was about to take her shot, but decided to not press her about it as she clearly didn't want to talk about it, "Just make sure it won't happen again, especially during a fight with someone otherwise you'll screw yourself over and get caught unless you'll get lucky and someone will be close to come in your rescue."

"I know." Origami reassured him it won't happen, "Don't worry. It won't happen again. I promise."

"I'm not worried. I'm just telling you what you should do if you want to avoid getting caught." Mustard replied, denying the fact he grew slightly worried for her and went to talking about their todays training session right now, "Let's start talking about todays training, shall we?"

Origami nodded as she looked at him with an interested look on her face, "Alright. How did I did today?"

"Pretty well." Mustard smiled slightly at her, "I can see a large improvement in your skills since our first shooting lesson. You can land most of your shots without any problem and hit a few targets after each other without missing for most of the time. There are still a few things you need to improve on such as your aim when it comes to moving targets, but other than that, I think we will have to end our lessons soon as you won't need them anymore."

"Great." Origami smiled at him, gladdened to hear she improved so much when it came to shooting a gun from him. She felt like she was improving, but it was nice to hear she did improve from the person who was teaching her, "Thank you once again for teaching me, Kataoka-kun. I really appreciate it."

"Yeah. Yeah." Mustard replied with a toss of his hand, "You don't need to thank me for giving you shooting lessons everytime when we end a lesson. I already told you why I agreed to do this just because..."

"You can be such a tsundere, Hiroto-kun. You know that?" A familiar female voice echoed from behind Mustard and Origami, cutting the former off before he could finish what he was saying. The two of them looked over to the source of the voice and saw a smilling Toga standing behind them with two ice cream sundaes in her hands, one of which was completely covered in the red glaze.

Mustard rolled his eyes at her in irritation, having lost the count of how many times Toga called him like this, "Here we go with this crap again. How many times do I have to tell you I'm not a tsundere?"

"I don't know." Toga shrugged her shoulders, her smile not leaving her face as she stepped closer to them, "I lost the count of how many times you told me to stop calling you that several days ago."

Mustard crossed his arms at her with an unamused look on his face, "You won't stop calling me that anytime soon, huh?"

"Nope~!" Toga shook her head with a sweet smile on her face, "I won't stop for as long as you will act as an tsundere in a situations like this."

Mustard pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "I should have excepted this answer from you."

Origami looked at Toga questioningly and curiously, "Can I ask you what are you doing here Toga-chan? I thought you will be catching up with Magne right now."

"Don't you remember Origami-chan?" Toga replied with a question on her own, "We talked yesterday about finally having the ice cream sundaes we promised each other back at the bar now that neither of us have a job to do and Kurogiri is around to prepare them for us."

Origami's eyes widened, having realized as she had forgotten about it. She looked at Toga with an apologetic look on her face, beginning to panic she had angered her, "I'm sorry, Toga-chan. It flew out of my mind because of the shooting lesson I just had with Kataoka-kun. Don't be mad at..."

"Hey. It's okay. You don't need to get so nervous. I'm not angry." Toga said to her friend with her tone void of any emotion of disappointment or anger, trying to calm her down a little as Origami stopped what she was saying and looked at her friend, visibly relieved she didn't do anything to anger her. The blond haired girl smiled at Origami after seeing how her friend visibly calmed down and shifted her gaze to Mustard, "Are you going to do some more training, Hiroto-kun?"

"No." Mustard shook his head, "You came in the right time for whatever you two have planned yesterday as we were about to finish. I was just finishing telling her how she did during todays lesson."

Toga smiled widely at the news, "Great. At least I won't have to wait for you to finish."

"Is there something else you have to say, Kataoka-kun?" Origami asked, all the nervousness she felt a few seconds ago vanishing from her tone and her face after Toga's words.

"No." Mustard shook his head as he shifted his gaze back to her, "I already said everything I had to say. There are I few more things I could say to you about todays lessons, but I don't think I need to because I would just be repeating myself at this point and I don't think there's need for that."

Origami nodded in understanding, holstering her Colt M1911, "Okay."

"Alright. With that being said, I should go now." Mustard said as he pushed himself into walk away from Toga and Origami.

Toga looked at him questioningly, "What about you, Hiroto-kun? Won't you join us?"

"Maybe some other time." Mustard replied, contuining to walk away from them in his way own, "Compress wanted me to go talk with him once we'll be done with our shooting lesson and I was already planning to do something after I'll be done talking with him."

"Okay." Toga nodded at him in understanding as Mustard walked off to do his own thing, leaving her alone with Origami. She stepped closer to Origami and held an ice cream sundae she was holding in her left hand to her, "Here you go, Origami-chan. I asked Kurogiri to make us some after he transported Y/N to talk with Jin-kun. I asked Kurogiri to not put as much red glaze on your sundae as I remembered you telling me you preferred it with less glaze."

"Thanks." Origami smiled slightly at Toga, taking the sundae from her.

"You're welcome. Come on. Let's go take a seat somewhere." Toga said as Origami nodded.

The two of them looked away from each other and looked around themselves, trying to find a good place where they will be able to eat their sundae's and relax for a bit. They didn't had to search for long. They found a good place to relax between the crates not too far from them. Not wasting any time, the two of them made their way to the said place and sat down on the floor.

Origami took her seat next to Toga and set her sundae down in front of her. She looked at Toga questioningly, rubbing the back of her head, "How did he got the ingredients to make us those sundaes in the first place?"

"I don't know." Toga shrugged her shoulders, "He and Tomura-kun have been staying in this warehouse since we parted ways after Camino Ward. They must have had some food supplies, I guess."

"Probably." Origami nodded in agreement as she shifted her gaze back to her sundae. She licked her lips as she eyes the dessert in front of her as she had to admit one thing to herself. It looked really tasty. She took a spoon out a second later and allowed herself to taste the sundae. A smile grew on her face as she tasted the icy treat because of how good it tasted, "This is so good."

Toga nodded in agreement, her lips now having a tiny of the red glaze on it, "I know, right? I really have to ask Kurogiri where did he learned how to make this tasty stuff."

Origami tapped her chin in thoughts, "Perharps he learned it from the time he was looking after Shigaraki?"

"Maybe." Toga agreed at the theory Origami had just voiced, "Have you asked Y/N if he knows for long how Kurogiri was looking after Tomura-kun before he was brought into the League?"

"No." Origami shook his head, "To be honest I think he doesn't know about it himself. From what he told me, Shigaraki and Kurogiri were already in the League together when he was brought into it by his Sensei."

Toga nodded in understanding, "I see."

"Hey there, girls." A familiar voiced sounded in front of them as Origami and Toga looked over to the source of it and saw Magne was walking over to them. She waved at them with a friendly smile on her face, "Mustard told me this is where I would find you. Mind if I join you for a bit?"

Origami shook her head as she smiled back at her, "No. Go ahead."

"You know you are always welcome to join us whenever the two of us hang out." Toga added as she smiled back at her as well, "It will be a great opportunity for us to catch up as we haven't gotten a chance to do so yesterday."

"You're right, Toga-chan." Magne nodded as she sat down on the floor in front of Origami and Toga, leaning her back against a crate behind her, "All the stuff with the Shiketsu girl really kept us busy yesterday. At least Toga-chan learned where this girl was living during her time as her so we didn't have much trouble when it came to bringing her to her house."

"How was your time at Shiketsu? Did anyone got suspicious about you?" Origami asked as Toga looked at her questioningly. The dark green haired girl wasted no time and immediately started explaining herself, feeling like she had the need to do so, "It's not that I'm saying you wouldn't handle yourself out there as I know you would. I'm just curious."

"I don't think anyone was suspicious about me as everyone acted normally around me. Hiroto-kun was right to think Camie would be a perfect student to disguise as. I had some fun pretending to be her as well, especially at the exam as I got a chance to get to Izuku and get my hands on his blood." Toga smiled widely as she recalled her time at the provisional hero license exam. Her face got serious a few seconds alter, "There were a few times when I had to contain myself from doing so. It was mostly when I was around Kazari-kun."

Origami's eyes slightly narrowed her at the mention of Tomohito, feeling herself getting slightly angry at the thought of him, "I see."

Magne raised her brow at the mention of him, unaware of who he was, "Kazari-kun? Who is he? Why did you had to contain yourself around him? Did he tried to do anything to you?"

"No. He didn't do anything to me." Toga replied, "He and Y/N have a history with each other."

"History?" A look of understanding formed on Magne's face, "I see. He was someone like Bakugo?"

Origami nodded in agreement with a small frown on her face, "Yes."

"I see." Magne nodded in understanding. Seeing the frown on Origami's face, she knew she had to change the subject of the conversation to something else and she instantly knew what to bring up, "Origami-chan. I heard Kataoka-kun have been giving you some shooting lessons since we split up after Camino Ward? How you have been doing?"

Origami's face slightly lit up at the mention of her shooting lessons, "I think I've been doing pretty well recently. I was pretty bad when I started my lessons with Kataoka-kun as I could barely hit a single target, but I managed to improve and can how hit most of my targets, with occasional misses there and there. I still need to improve when it comes to moving targets as I'm still having some small problems there, but according to Kataoka-kun, I should get rid of those problems soon if I keep up this pace of improvement."

"Great. I'm glad to hear it. Glad to see Kataoka-kun started opening himself up. If it was him from before our attack the summer camp, he wouldn't allow you or anyone else to even have a conversation with him." Magne smiled at Origami as Origami nodded in agreement, "Have you been doing some other training since Camino Ward or have you focused on learning how to shoot properly?"

"I've been doing some physical training with Y/N." Origami replied, "We normally focused on either improving our fighting skills or our abilities with our Quirks during our training sessions in Camino Ward, but all the equipment we used during those training sessions was lost in our old hideout and we couldn't focus on them as much as we wanted to."

"I see. Physical training, huh?" Magne chuckled, "Looks like someone is getting stronger. Who knows. Perharps one day you'll be able to lift my magnet and carry it on your shoulder without any problem."

Origami gave her a small sheepish smile, rubbing the back of her head, "Maybe."

Toga silently looked between Origami and Magne, sighing interally. It seemed like she had just killed some of the mood between all three of them by mentioning Tomohito when she was talking about her time disguised as Camie at Shiketsu. Magne may have brought some of this mood back, but the blond haired girl still felt like some of it was mising. She knew it wouldn't remain this way for long, though as she knew she had a perfect way to do so. A small grin formed on her face, knowing it was something she wanted to talk with Magne for a while now.

"Magne." She called out for her as Magne turned to look at her, "Remember what I told you last night before we went to sleep?"

"Yes." Magne nodded in confirmation, "You said there were some interesting developments we should talk about on the first opportunity we'll get."

"Yeah." Toga nodded back with a smile forming on her face, "I think this is the best time to talk about it?"

"I see." Magne smiled back at her, "Are you sure about this, though? Origami-chan is here with us right now and I don't think she will be as casual to talk about it as the two of us."

Origami shifted her gaze between her friends with a questioning look on her face, "Can I ask you what are you talking about?"

"The fact Origami-chan is here with us right now makes this even better." Toga pointed out as she answered to Magne's question instead of Origami's, "Maybe we'll get her to open her eyes if we'll talk with her about it right now."

Origami raised her brow, growing more confused by their conversation with each passing second, "O-Open my eyes? About what?"

"You're right." Magne nodded in agreement with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Can you please tell me what are you talking about?" Origami once again asked her friends about the subject of their conversation as she had confusion written all over her face.

Magne shifted her gaze from Toga and Origami, "Origami-chan. You care about Y/N, right?"

"Of course I do. He's my friend." Origami nodded, slightly suprised and confused by this sudden question. She shifted her gaze between Magne and Toga who were looking at her questioningly, "Why are you two asking me about it?"

"We ask you about it, because we don't mean it in "just a friend" manner." Magne explained.

"We mean it in the same way I care about my Izuku~." Toga added with a teasing look slowly forming on her face. She put her hands on her cheeks, letting out an excited squel at the thought of Izuku. "Ah, just thinking about chopping him into pieces makes me so excited~."

It didn't took Origami to put one and one together. Her eyes widened as soon as the realization hit her like a ton of bricks, "W-What? Is this what you two were talking about me and Y/N since our first meeting with Magne after the two us and Y/N went to recruit her?!"

Magne nodded in confirmation, "Yes."

"Pretty much." Toga gave Origami a nod of confirmation as well.

"W-What made you think about me and Y/N in such a way? Me and Y/N are just friends and nothing more!" Origami stuttered out nervously with a blush beginning to form on her face.

"Do you really need to ask us, sweetheart?" Magne asked, looking at the dark green haired girl like she had just asked the most obvious question she had heard in her entire life, "It was quite obvious to Toga-chan after she joined the League. She told me about it when you first recruited me, but I started to notice it pretty quickly as well. I think everyone from the League could notice it from the way you were acting around each other as Kataoka-kun, Iguichi-kun and Bubaigawara-kun thought you two were in a relationshp when they first joined the League before everything was clarified it to them."

"Everyone could see it except the two of you, of course." Toga added as Magne nodded in agreement, "And maybe Tomura-kun. I'm not exactly sure as I didn't ask him about it. I don't think he would even want to talk about it because of him being Tomura-kun."

"H-Hold on a second! Just because I think he's cute doesn't mean he and me view each other in such a way!" Origami shouted, without thinking through her answer before doing so as she said the first answer she thought of right now. She blinked a few times, having realized what she just said. She slapped her hand over her mouth. Unfortunely for her, it was already too late to do anything about it as the damage had already been done and all she could do right now was to wait for the effects in the form of Toga and Magne's reaction to her declaration.

"Really?" Magne wanted to be sure if she didn't misheard it, feeling a grin forming on her face as Toga looked at Origami with an interested look on her face, curious about her declaration, "You really think Y/N is cute?"

"A shame Y/N isn't here right now." Toga added with a large teasing grin on her face, "I wonder how he would react to it if he somehow managed to overhear you."

Magne put her hand over her mouth, letting out a muffled giggle, "I can only imagine how flustered he would become if he somehow overhard it, Toga-chan."

Toga giggled, "It would definitely happen, Magne."

Origami looked away from them, feeling a massive blush forming on her face, "Can we forget that I just said that and act like it never happened, please?"

Toga shook her head, "Nope."

Magne looked at Origami teasingly after getting the confirmation from her, "So you really think Y/N is cute."

Toga leaned closer to Origami with an interested look on her face, "Can you tell me and Magne more about your feelings regarding Y/N ? I'm very curious to know more about it now after you admitted to find him cute."

"Like I said, just because I think Y/N is cute doesn't mean I like him in the way you two think." Origami started her answer, blushing widely as she tried to explain to her friends her thoughts regarding Y/N, "He's my really good friend and I think that's about it. I don't trust anyone as much as I trust him and will always gladly follow him. He was the very first person in my life who told me I'm not a monster after finding out about what happened when my Quirk manifested. If it wasn't for him, I would probably still be crying myself to sleep everytime after my mother would lock me out of the house for the night for the smallest thing and would be in a place with the people who aren't treating me like a monster."

A fond smile started to grow on her face as all the good times she spent with Y/N since their meeting flew through her mind, "I really like spending time with him, no matter if it a training session or something else such as the times when we played videos games together or went to a swimming pool the night after I went with him. I really wish we could go again soon as we will get an opportunity to do so as I always liked swimming and it was nice having someone around for it. Or this one time when baked a cake together during our first day in Mustard's hideout. I'm glad just everything worked outwhen we baked a cake together, you know? I asked Toga-chan to get all the equipment from the store, because I wanted to lit his mood a bit as I knew the capture of his Sensei was really bothering him, because I didn't like seeing him down was hard and worrying to me and wanted his mood to..."

Origami stopped herself in the middle of the sentence, preventing herself from saying more as she felt how her eyes widened when the realization of what she was saying hit her like a ton of bricks. The dark green haired girl looked down at the floor, looking away from the smilling faces of Magne and Toga as the realization of something she had been denying for quite some time slowly started to form in his mind.

The dark green haired girl brought her knees closer to herself and placed her head between them to hide her blushing face from her friends and to leave herself with her thoughts. She allowed herself to get lost in her thoughts as Magne and Toga silently stared at her, waiting for her to speak up to them again. She just couldn help herself. The matter Toga and Magne had brought up to her became the only thing she thought about in this very moment.

Did she liked Y/N? Not as just a friend, but as something more? This question continued to fly through her mind over and over again as she tried to figure out the answer to it because she knew this question won't stop bothering her if she won't figure out the answer to it right now. All of her feelings regarding Y/N and her thoughts about him flew through her as she eventually figured out the answer to the question regarding how she felt about Y/N.

She let out a soft sigh into her knees as she nodded to herself, knowing she shouldn't lie to herself or to her friends as it won't do her any good. She looked up from her knees to look up at Toga and Magne a few seconds later, her cheeks reddened, "G-Guys. I think I might like Y/N."

Magne gently smiled at the dark green haired girl as soon as she received her answer from her, "I'm glad you finally realized it, honey. Trust me. Denying your feelings and pushing them aside wouldn't do you any good."

Toga leaned closer to Origami with curiosity written all over her face, smilling at her bestie, "What are you doing to do now? Will you stab him with your katana?"

"W-What?" Origami's eyes widened at the suggestion, "I'm not going to stab him!"

"Not everyone expresses their feelings towards someone like you do Toga-chan." Magne pointed out as she shifted her attention to Toga only to shift it back to Origami a second later, "I'm curious about the first question myself, though. What are you going to do now?"

"I-I don't know." Origami gave her an honest answer. She had never been in such a situation. She had no idea what to do, "Should I even go talk with him about it?"

Magne raised her brow at her, sensing there was something wrong, "What do you mean?"

Toga looked at Origami in worry, "Origami-chan? Is there something wrong?"

Origami looked down with a saddened frown forming on her face, "I don't want to talk about it."

Magne looked at her with a gentle look on her face, "You don't need to be worried about it. I'm your big sis! You can tell me everything!"

"Come on, Origami-chan. You know you can tell me anything. We're besties. Aren't we?" Toga asked.

"It's just..." Origami paused for a few seconds. She bit her bottom lip at the unpleasant memories going through her mind. She let out a deep breath, going back to what she was saying, "People stayed away from me at school for as long as I can remember. I couldn't find anyone who would want to be around me as for everyone I was a monster who did something terrible when their Quirk manifested. I never really thought about boys and romance stuff because of it. I have no experience crushing on someone. What I am supposed to say to him when I will go talk with him about it? If I will even go talk with him about it."

"You can always use your assets to seduce him. Darling, you have a marvelous equiment for it and I'm sure he won't try to resist you when you'll make a good use out of it!" Magne replied with a teasing look on her face forming on her face when she uttered those words as Toga put her hand over her mouth to muffle the giggle she was about to let out.

Origami stayed silent as she once again lost herself in her thoughts, trying to figure out about what Magne meant by that. The girl with a dark green hair felt how her eyes widened upon realizing what her friend meant when she glanced down at her large breasts. She covered them with her arms the moment she realized what was the "equipment" Magne was talking about.

"Magne!" She yelled out, her face becoming more red than it already was.

"Magne isn't exaggerating, you know. These could knock someone flat." Toga agreed with Magne, pointing at Origami's chest with her free hand, "You know I never actually got to ask you. Are these E size?"

"C-Can we please stop talking about my breasts, please." Origami pleaded, blushing in embarassment at what their conversation had evolved into as she bowed her head down to hide how embarassed she just became from her two friends.

"Alright." Magne couldn't help herself and chuckled at how embarassed Origami has become because of their conversation and the direction it went, "Let's stop here Toga-chan. Can't you see just how embarassed this girl has become because of us?"

Toga giggled and nodded in agreement, "Yeah. You're right, Magne. We should stop."

Magne looked down at Origami with an apologetic look on her face, starting to feel bad because of how the embarassed mess the dark green haired girl has become because of her, "I'm sorry about this teasing, Origami-chan. Me and Toga-chan just couldn't help ourselves. Allow me to give you a more serious advice regarding your feelings for Y/N, okay?" Origami nodded at her, allowing her to give her advice as she kept her head bowed down to hide her embarassed expression, "Alright. You realized your feelings for him. It was a large step in the right direction."

Origami looked up at Magne, fearing the answer as she already excepted what it will be, "Okay. What are the other steps?"

"You don't have many steps left ahead of you. Only one to be exact. Telling him how you feel." Magne explained as Origami looked down with a nervous look on her face, her worries turning out to be correct. Seeing how nervous Origami became at the thought of telling Y/N how she felt, she put her hand on her shoulder to make her less nervous, "Hey. I understand you're nervous about it. Many people were nervous when they were dealing with their first crush, just like you do now. Just to let you know. No matter when you will tell Y/N about your feelings and how he will respond to them, I will be always cheering you on, no matter where I will end up."

Origami looked at her friend with a grateful look on her face. The hint of nervousness remained on her face, though, "Thanks, Magne."

"Anytime, sweetheart." Magne smiled back at her, "I'm your big sis, am I?"

"And I'm your bestie, right?" Toga added, smilling just like Magne.

Origami shifted her gaze between them with a smile slowly growing on her face, "Yeah."

A deep breath escaped Izuku's lungs as he did his best to handle himself against the upcoming attacks from Bakugo. When he and his classmates were preparing themselves to go back to bed and resume the regular classes the next day, he was approached by Bakugo who told him to meet out front. After making sure everyone from their class was asleep, he did as he was told by Bakugo and was taken taken to Ground Beta by him where they had their first combat training at U.A.

Upon arriving at Ground Beta, Bakugo wasted no time and explained to Izuku the reason why he took him there when they were supposed to be asleep right now, just like their classmates, in the first place. Izuku silently listened to every word he said to him as Bakugo revealed to him he had figured out Izuku had gotten his Quirk from All Might after everything what happened and asked him if it was true.

Izuku didn't deny his words, having been already excepting Bakugo to bring this matter up after his classmates started talking about his Quirk and it was the only confirmation Bakugo needed to get from him. After becoming certain Izuku had received his Quirk from All Might himself and realizing All Might had acknowledged Izuku over him, Bakugo held his hand out to him and suggested they fight.

The green haired boy tried to tell him it was a bad idea to fight since they're already breaking the rules by being out of the out of their dorm this late at night and tried to convince him they should spar during a training session instead. Bakugo didn't listen to him, though. He pointed out the teachers wouldn't let them go all out and warned Izuku to put his guard up or else he might get hurt before lunging at him with an explosion.

Izuku did his best to de-escalate the situation ever since the meaningless fight between him and Bakugo started only for Bakugo to try and strike him with multiple explosions over and over again. The moments passed and Izuku continued to refuse to fight with Bakugo, much to the blond haired boy's frustation. Bakugo demanded Izuku to fight with him and charged at him again.

This time, however, Izuku countered Bakugo's attack and knocked him to the ground. He let out deep breath as he saw his classmate land on the ground, his eyes widened in concern as he realized what he just did. He reached his hand out to him, asking him if he was okay and moved towards him as Bakugo glared up at him and smacked his hand away.

"Don't worry about me! Fight! What the hell's wrong with you?" Bakugo exclaimed as he slowly got himself back on his feet, "Why... Why did I end up having to chase after the back of someone who was always behind me? Why did a damn small fry like you get strong... and become acknowledged by All Might...?" His voice started to crack as he looked up at him, revealing his guilt filled expression to him, "Why was I the one who ended All Might?!"

Izuku's silently watched everything from where he stood with as Bakugo continued to voice the emotions he had buried within himself since Camino Ward. He looked at him his classmates with a shocked look on his face, realizing Bakugo had been carrying this guilt since Camino.

"The part with All Might isn't everything!" Bakugo exclaimed as Izuku's eyes slightly widened. There was something else bothering Bakugo? What could it be? Could it have been the thing that was also bother him since the League attacked the summer camp? He quickly got the confirmation to it as Bakugo continued to scream at him, "Everything Mu..." He paused for a second, stopping himself from uttering the insult he used whenever he referred to Y/N , "Everything L/N did as the Mask was because of me!"

"Kacchan." Izuku softly called out to him as soon as Bakugo mentioned Y/N, guilt beginning to grow on his face when the matter of Y/N was brought up by Bakugo. He took one step towards his classmates, "Something must have happened to Y/N to make him do all of the things he did as the Mask after he went missing. I know him. I know he wouldn't do any of those things willingly. All For One must have done something to him after he got his hands on him to make him do all of these things!

"All For One must have done something to him?" Bakugo let out a long humorless laugh at Izuku's words, realizing the denial the green haired boy was in, "That's fucking golden, Deku! Is this seriously something you've been telling yourself to make yourself feel better since everyone found out he's the Mask?! Everything he did as the Mask he did out of his own free will!"

"How can you be so sure?" Izuku wanted to know.

"Because he told me so himself right before he beat the shit out of me!" Bakugo explained, "You really thought I wouldn't get a chance to talk with him after the League kidnapped me? I talked with him and let me tell you. He wasn't brainwashed by anyone! Everything he did as the Mask he did out of his own free will and it's my fault! He's like this because of me!"

Izuku felt how his heart sunk as soon as he had gotten this information about Y/N from Bakugo, feeling how all the air just left his lungs at the same time as he stared at his classmate in a stunned shock. Y/N really did everything he did as the Mask out of his own free will? He wasn't forced into doing anything by All For One or Shigaraki? He really did all those terrible things, because he choose to do them?"

The green haired boy let out a pained gasp, feeling tears of guilt forming in his eyes upon learning Y/N was not forced into doing any of the things he did as the Mask and instead did them because he choose to do them. He couldn't help but wonder. Why? Why would Y/N do all these terrible things? Why would a good person like him agree to do all these terrible things out of their own free will. He knew the treatment his parents were giving him back home couldn't have been the only reason. It was when a certain interaction he had with Y/N back when he attacked the USj with the League flew through his mind.

"They hurt me. Other people hurt me. They hurt my best friend. My parents didn't care and never did anything to help or comfort me. School didn't care because people who hurt me and my friend were born with promising Quirks. The kind of Quirk that made them promising heroes. People like me and friend were treated like the bottom of the barrel. No one ever reached out for us because people are often ignoring a problem in front of them because they think a hero will take care of this but the hero often never shows up. If the hero society as it is now allows such things to happen, then it needs to change."

Izuku put his right hand over his face, letting out a deep tearful breath into his hand as this interaction from the USJ between him and Y/N  flew through his mind. It didn't took him long to realize he was the friend Y/N talked to him as the Mask back in the USJ. He was doing all these villainous acts with the League of Villains, because he wanted to a create a better world for people like them?

The green haired boy couldn't help but ask himself a couple of question after figuring out the reasons behind Y/N's villainous actions. Did he really thought destroying the society as it is right now was the only way of making sure people like them will have better lives? Did he really felt so terrible to the point where he thought becoming a villain was the only way of accomplishing it?

He clenched his hand as those questions flew through his mind, the feeling of guilt he had become so familiar with ever since he learned about Y/N being the Mask going through his body. If only he had pressed further on the day he saw Y/N for the first time, his friend wouldn't have become the Mask. If he had be there for his friend when he needed him, then none of this would have happen.

"Kacchan. You shouldn't be blaming yourself for this. I'm the one who should notice..." He didn't got a chance to finish what he was saying as Bakugo interrupted him in the middle of the sentence.

"Why don't you fucking get it, Deku?! It's not your fault! It's not!" Bakugo cut him off before he could say anything, nearly tearful, "I'm the reason he met All For One in the first place! If didn't tell him to go kill himself on the last day we saw him at school, he wouldn't have come across All For One! Everything he did and everything he will do as the Mask. It's because of me! None of this would have happen if it wasn't for me!"

"You're not the only person who is to blame!" Izuku pointed out, "I'm at fault here as well! I was his best friend! I should have noticed there was something wrong about his parents and his homelife a long time ago as the signs were there all along and I failed to notice them until it was too late to doa nything! The worst part about it. I noticed there was something wrong about him the day I saw him for the last time and yet I didn't press further! None of this would have happen if I was there for Y/N and had something on the day when he needed me!"

"Stop there, you two." A familiar voiced echoed from their right side. Izuku and Bakugo looked over to the source of it and saw All Might walking over to them, "Sorry. I overheard."

"All Might." Izuku whispered at the view of his idol.

"I'm sorry I didn't notice..." All Might apologized to Bakugo as continued to make his way to his students.

"It's too late..." Bakugo replied, his eyes set on Izuku, "Why Deku...? It started when the sludge villain came, right? Why this guy...?"

"He was powerless, but more heroic than anyone else. I thought you were strong. You were someone who could already compete. I decided that he should also be able to stand in the ring." All Might explained to Bakugo.

Bakugo gritted his teeth, choking, "I'm weak, too, you know! I made you turn into that."

All Might stopped in his tracks right in front of Bakugo, "This isn't your fault. Either way, my limit was close. I was always going to end up like this. You're strong. But I focused too much on your strength, " Bakugo twitched his eyes as All Might reached his hand onto his head, pulling him in continued, "I ended up making you bear this burden... I'm sorry, even though you're still young, too."

Bakugo pushed All Might back as the former number one hero didn't flinch, "What about L/N? Did he told you about him? Did he told you about the villain I created? Did he told you how much of an asshole I was to him since the playground?"

"I already talked with young Midoriya about him after Camino and made one promise to him after our conversation was over." All Might explained, "I promised to him I do everything in power to help him save him in this body. We're going to save him and get him the help he should have gotten before he became the Mask. You don't have to face this guilt alone, young Bakugo. If you truly feel regret from the way you treated him the last time you saw him, you can start showing it to him by saving him alongside young Midoriya."

Bakugo sighed right after All Might was done talking to him as he slumped down on the ground, putting his knees up to cover his face after hearing out what All Might had to say to him about giving Izuku his power and Y/N. He put his hand over his forehead, having made his decision. He will help Deku save Y/N. He highly doubted Y/N will forgive him for almost making him end his own life as the fact Y/N hated his guts became quite obvious to him after their confrontation back in Camino Ward, but it will be the best way to start fixing the mess he had created in the first place.

He looked up at Izuku, moving his hand away from his forehead, "You had the strongest guy lay the groundwork for you. Don't lose."

Izuku nodded at him, wiping the tears from his eyes, "I'll get stronger so I can beat you and make sure Y/N will be saved from his life as the Mask."

Bakugo shifted his gaze to All Might, "Who knows about you and Deku?"

"Recovery Girl and the principal. When it comes to the students, it's just you." All Might explained.

Bakugo nodded at him, "I won't tell anyone. I won't expose your secret like damn Deku here. I'll keep it between us."

The three of them left Ground Beta shorty after and All Might took Bakugo and Izuku to Aizawa who lectured his students about sneaking out of their dorm this late at night and starting a fight with each other, putting them on a house arrest.

We got a trailer for the new Helluva Boss episodes and it left me pretty excited for them. I'm really looking forward to see all the stuff with Moxxie's dad, Barbie Wire, Striker and Andrealphus.

We're so close to the part 1 of part of season 4 of Attack on Titan and I'm super excited for it. I just can't want to watch the Rumbling and "This is Freedom" scene animated. If what they gave us in the trailer looked us good and showed the horrors of the Rumbling so well, then I can only imagine how good the scene will look like without any cuts.
