Y/N had no idea where he was right now. When he opened his eyes, he found himself floating in nothingness. There was nothing but black space around him and he couldn't see anything there no matter how many times he looked around an attempt of locating anything or anyone else in this place. The h/c haired boy had to admit this to himself. He really hoped something about this situation will change as the thought of floating in a black empty space for who knows how long wasn't really appealing to him.

He got what he was waiting for a second later as his surroundings had changed. Changed into something he was more than familiar with from his past. He found himself in what appeared to be a classroom. It didn't took him long to recognize this classroom. It was a place he hadn't been in in a long time and a place he hoped he wouldn't have to visit again. This classroom was the very same classroom he had his classes in during his time in Aldera Junior High.

The h/c haired boy looked around himself, not knowing what to think or do right now as he found himself in the place he had so many bad memories from. Upon realizing where he was right now, all of it came running back to him. All the comments. All the remarks. All the jokes about him at his expense. All the time he held back tears during classes. All the the time Bakugo mistreated him in front everyone and everyone turned a blink eye to it.

Y/N lowered his gaze to the floor, feeling all of those unpleasant memories hitting him like a truck and clenched his hand. Why was he in this place again? He promised himself that he won't find himself in it ever again. Just like he did with the L/N household after overhearing his parents talking about how they wished he was never was born. Why was he here right now out of all possible places? He didn't want to be here...

"Brings back memories, huh?" Y/N's eyes widened at the sound of this voice, recognizing it right away as this voice was something he had grown familiar to over the course of his life. With his suprise caused by the sound of it remaining evident on his face, he slowly turned around to face the source of his and his eyes widened further when he saw the person this voice belonged to.

He instantly recognized the person he had just laid his eyes on as what he saw was himself. He saw himself from the times he wasn't the Mask and was a Quirkless teen attending Aldera Junior High with hopes of a normal life instead. Many features of his past self made him believe it was him from the said time period. His hair was as long as it used to be back in Aldera Junior High and his face scar was nowhere to be seen. His past self wore the school uniform this school as well

"Do you really need to ask me such obvious questions? You really can't recognize me?" His younger self asked him, looking almost offended by the question, "I'm you. But from the past. I thought your Aldera classroom will make the answer obvious to you."

Y/N backed away from his past self, visibly disturbed and unnerved by the view of him, "What do you want from me?"

Y/N's past self placed his hand on his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, "What do I want from you? Hmm. Let's see. Let's wonder about the answer fo a bit.."

Y/N stared at his past self in thought, growing more unnerved by the silence as he stopped in his tracks from a second, "Come on. Tell me."

"I just want to talk." His past self provided him an answer a second later as he got up from his seat and pushed himself into walk towards Y/N , slowly beginning to make his way towards him.

Y/N glanced away from him, "Talk? Talk about what? I have nothing to talk with you."

"Really? I doubt it." Y/N's past self shook his head, looking doubtful of it as he continued to make his way towards his current self, "From what I know, we have a lot to talk about."

"No. We don't." Y/N shook his head, feeling himself becoming more unnerved and disturbed by what was happening right now. Was this how Shigaraki felt like when they were introduced to each other and he saw his past self in him? If that was the case, then Y/N didn't blame Shigaraki for reacting the way he did to him during their first introduction.

Y/N's past self stopped directly in front of him and crossed his arms, "Why so nervous? Are you really so afraid of facing your past self? Are you trying to ignore me existing? I thought your past is what drives you and motivates you towards your goal of a better world?"

Y/N kept glancing away from him, "Just because what happened to me is one of the things which drives me to accomplish my goal doesn't mean I'm comfortable talking with you. I have nothing to tell you. Just go away."

"Fine. You can say all you want." Y/N's past self rolled his eyes, wrapping his arm around Y/N as Y/N let out a deep breath, showing just how uncomfortable he was to be around him, "Just because you don't have anything to say to me doesn't mean I have nothing to say to you, though."

Y/N clenched his teeth, letting out a deep exhale through his nose and asked him, wanting to get this over with, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Great! We're finally getting somewhere! It wasn't so hard now. Was it?" Y/N's past self smiled at Y/N agreeing to have this conversation with him. He moved a bit closer to Y/N, making him even more uncomfortable and gestured to the classroom around them by waving his other arm around, "It must be so weird being here again after all this time, right? Considering all the stuff which happened to you since your rather eventful last time here?"

"Where are you getting at?" Y/N wanted to know. The sooner they would get to the main point of this conversation, then the sonner this conversation would end and it was something he really wanted to happen.

"Be patient. I'm getting there." His past self replied as he went further into his words, "Many things have changed since your last time in this place. Back then you were a mess which got his ass beaten by Bakugo for standing up for yourself for once and now look at yourself! The Co-Commander of the biggest villain army in the world and the subject of the nation wide manhunt in Japan. I must say. It's quite an improvement. Especially when you take the fact that it all happened in only two years into consideration"

"Just get to the point." Y/N told him, his desire for this to end becoming bigger with each passing second and each word uttered by his other self.

"Fine. Jeez. Talk about being impatient." Y/N's past self rolled his eyes in irritation, "All of those things changed about you. You have a Quirk now. You have people who don't treat you like shit 24/7 around you and would follow you everywhere and even have a hot girlfriend with some other woman thirsting after you. Do you know what had not changed about you, despite all of this?"

Y/N turned to face him with a raised his brow, "What?"

"You being a failure of a human being." Y/N's past self cut through Y/N like a hot knife through butter.

"W-What?" Y/N stuttered out, looking taken aback by what his past self just said.

Y/N's past self expression grew more cold, pulling his hand away from Y/N as he nodded in confirmation, "You heard me right. You changed all of those things about yourself or at least tried to change them and yet you couldn't change the main and the most important one. You being a failure. You being the same useless kid who can't do anything right."

Y/N took one step away from him, looking hurt by it, "N-No. That's not true."

"Not true? You want to lie to yourself?" Y/N's past self voice grew more cold and judging, "Look at what your actions have caused. So many people put their trust in you and were willing to follow you into battle and look what it caused. Do you know how many of them were arrested? Because I don't think I need to tell you who died."

"S-Shut up..." Y/N stuttered out, his tone becoming more hurt and tearful.

Y/N's past self shook his head, "No. I won't shut up. In fact. I think I will you example of what happened. Twice and Tengai died. Mr. Compress mutilated himself to give you a chance at escaping and you have no way of knowing he'll survive. Mustard, Rappa and Arasaka were captured. You have no way of knowing what happened with the rest of your comrades due to them. Don't even get me started on what happened to a certain someone who loves you as a younger brother. All of it happened because of you and your mistake. You've ruined everything because you wanted to give Hawks a fair chance and didn't took him out right away, despite your gut feeling? Why? Because you thought people who don't give a shit about you and your friends will not lower yourself to your level?"

Y/N lowered his head, refusing to look up as his body began to shake. He tried to say something to his past self. Something to fight off those claims and defend himself. No words left his mouth, though. Why should he argue about it in the first place? He knew he was right. All of it happened because of him. People put their trust in him and he messed everything up. His comrades were suffering and it was all his fault. This thought itself was enough to make him whimper.

Y/N's past self looked more from than frustated by Y/N's silence and him turning away from him. Shaking his head, he slapped Y/N across his face to make him look up at him, "Look at me and say something you worthless piece of shit! Human garbage! You can't do anything right! You're still the same nobody you were back in junior high! You didn't change a damn bit! I hate you! I hate you! And I always have! Do you know why?! Because you never done anything but betray and disappoint me! The responsibilities you accepted and the second life you were given! You were blessed enough to receive those things and what did you do with them? You blew them up! You've ruined everything! So look up and look at me! Look up and face the worthless human trash you are right fucking now!"

"S-Stop..." Y/N muttered tearfully under his breath, letting out a whimper.

"So you have a voice here! Good! Good to know you can't at least reply to what I am saying to you!" Y/N's past self continued to scream at him as he poked Y/N" shoulder in a rough manner almost as if he was a parent scolding him. It reminded Y/N a lot of his parents, "You can't do anything right. If you'll keep going like that, then you will lose everyone who was good enough to give a crap about you. All of your friends will die and it includes Origami as well and whatever you two had created while sucking each other faces. You will lose both of them and won't do anything about it. Do you know why? Because you're a useless failure which should have never been born."

Y/N clenched his hand as soon as he got called useless by his past self. It was when a new emotion joined all the negative emotions he was feeling right now. It was anger, "Shut up. I'm not useless..."

"Yes. You are." Y/N's past self didn't take back his words and in fact confirmed them, "You're a worthless loser who can't do anything right and will lose everything. It would be better for everyone if you jumped off the roof that night. At least this way everyone around you wouldn't waste their time following a useless."

Y/N looked up at his past self with a glare on his face and swung his fist at him to punch him, "I'm not useless...!"

-----

Y/N shot up from his bed, letting out a starled scream as he had just woken up from the dream or rather a nightmare he had just went through. He pinched the bridge of his nose, keeping himself sitting up and let out a deep breath as he tried to calm himself down from what just happened. Letting out a deep breath after another, he slowly managed to calm himself down and collect him after suffering a nightmare like this.

After calming himself down, the h/c haired boy let out a deep and pulled his hand closer to his mouth to cover it for the yawn. If he was honest with himself, he was far from feeling rested from last night. He went to sleep deep into the night and he still had a hard time falling asleep due to everything that happened. Origami snuggling up to him and comforting, despite being a crying mess herself did not help him this much and it took them a while to fall asleep because of it.

Pushing himself away from his thoughts, he shifted his gaze to Origami and laid his eyes on the person laying next to him. His girlfriend was still sleeping and didn't seem bothered by him shooting up from the bed like he did. Her having no reaction to this didn't suprise him this much. He always woke up before Origami and his girlfriend was always a heavy sleeper when she went to sleep exhausted the night before. She must have not heard him shooting up from the bed in a distressed manner like he did. Good. At least she didn't see him like this.

Deciding not to bother her and leave her sleep to make sure she will wake up more rested than him, Y/N got himself off tbe bed and decided to start this new day. He wanted to check on the others as well. If they were awake by this point. As he got himself out of bed, he let out a sigh as the memories of what happened yesterday flew through his mind. Shaking his head to make himself stop thinking about it even for a minute, he silently made a hope for himself. He silently hoped this day won't be the like the last one.

As he pushed himself into walk towards the exit from the room he had slept in with Origami last night, he laid his eyes on his bloody vest as it laid exactly where he left it last night. With his intention of never putting it on himself ever again not changing since last night, he intended to walk past it and leave it behind. He didn't walk past it, though as something about it caught his attention. Something was sticking out of it.

He crouched down in front of the vest, taking a better look at it and it was an envelope. He raised his brow at the view of it until recalling it was a letter from Eri and it was given to him by Izuku during their conversation. The h/c haired boy picked the envelope up and stared at it silently for the next few seconds, letting out a sigh before placing it inside the pocket of his hoddie. He intended to read this letter, but planned on doing so latter. Right now, he just wanted to check on everyone else.

He walked out of the room a few seconds later and pushed himself into walk towards the main living zone of the place. As he proceeded to make his way towards his destination, he noticed how dark the place is even during the day and shook his head to himself. He really couldn't help but ask himself how could the Creature Rejection Clan live in a place like this. It was probably because they were too busy feeding themselves whatever bullshit they were feeding themselves about people like Spinner or Chimera.

The h/c haired boy reached his destination a few moments later and walked into what he thought could be called the common area of the place. Upon arriving there, he looked around himself and noticed a few familiar faces in the form of Skeptic, Kizuki, Minene, Daiki and Magne. Spinner and Dabi were nowhere to be seen. The same went for Shigaraki. As soon as he stepped into the room, he felt everyone shift their attention to him in an instant.

Minene pushed herself into walk towards him as soon as she laid her differently coloed eyes on him, "Y/N!"

"Kasumi-chan." Y/N nodded at her, greeting her as Minene made her way to him. She wasn't the only one. Daiki and Magne immediately followed her example. Skeptic and Kizuki didn't went to check on Y/N, keeping themselves occupied with whatever they were doing on Skeptic's laptop.

Minene stopped in front of Y/N and gave him a quick hug, before pulling away and looking at him again. She wasn't smilling, though. Her face showed worry and concern. The way how Y/N's eyes were reddened and had dark circles under them were not helping, "Are you okay?"

"You didn't look okay at all last night, sweetheart." Magne added, having just made her way to Y/N with Daiki as she nodded in agreement to Minene's question.

Daiki nodded in agreement, looking equally as worried for his co-commander, "You left quite worried when you left to get some sleep."

Y/N raised his brow at her sudden question, "Yeah. I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worried last night. I was just tired and needed a to rest for a bit. I collected my thoughts regarding and I'm fine now."

Minene remained uncertain about it, "Are you sure?"

Y/N raised his brow at her, "What do you mean?"

"Y/N. You know you don't need to lie to us." Magne told him, equally as unconvinced by his words as Minene was. She could tell Y/N was not okay from looking at his eyes alone.

Daiki nodded in agreement, "Your eyes are red. Have you been crying last night?"

"You have dark circles as well." Minene added, pointing towards Y/N's eyes to prove her point, "Have you gotten enough sleep?"

"Guys. I appreciate your concern, but I'm fine. Really. I'm fine." Y/N tried to reassure them, becoming more uncomfortable with the direction this conversation was taking and quickly tried to change the topic of it into something else, "Can we focus on something more important now? What about Spinner and Dabi? Where are they? Are they still sleeping or are they somewhere else?"

Minene raised her brow at his choice of words, "Something more important?"

Magne looked at him in worry, "Sweetheart. They way how you're handling everything is important to us as well."

"The other questions can wait." Daiki nodded in agreement.

"Guys. Like I said I really appreciate your concern, but it can wait." Y/N once again tried to reassure them, becoming more uncomfortable and overhelmed by their constant worried questions. As much as he appreciated them trying to comfort him, he knew now it wasn't the time and he hated himself for the fact that he made his friends worry for him like this, "What we need to focus now is planning out or next move. We'll talk about all the stuff regarding me once the time for it comes. Alright. Please?"

Magne looked at Y/N with worry remaining evident on her face. While she knew leaving him like this when he's clearly affected by what happened yesterday was not good, she knew forcing him to have this conversation when she's clearly uncomfortable and overhelmed by it would make more harm than good, "...Fine."

"What do you want to know from us?" Daiki asked, having come to the same conclusion as Magne while Minene silently stared at Y/N with worry written over her face.

Y/N quickly reminded them about the question he asked them earlier, "I asked you about Dabi and Spinner. Where are they."

"Spinner is outside, watching Shigaraki and the Nomus and Dabi is in the room down the hall all by himself." Magne provided him an explanation, pointing towards the room where Dabi had settled himself in.

Y/N nodded in understanding and looked at her questioningly a second later, "Have you tried talking with him?"

"I did." Magne nodded in confirmation, "He wasn't really interested in having a conversation now. Said he needed to think through some things and come talk with him later."

"I see." Y/N said in understanding.

"It's still weird knowing he's Endeavor's son." Daiki stated, rubbing the back of his head. The fact that one of his lieutenants was a son of the current number one hero was still something he was trying to wrap his head around. He wouldn't have expected something like that in a milion of years to happen.

Minene nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Me too."

"You're not the only one." Y/N admitted to be on the same board as his advisers. He still couldn't believe Dabi was Todoroki for all this time. He still couldn't believe Dabi had experience something like this and he never told him and the others about it. He still couldn't believe how similiar his and Dabi's stories were. He knew it was something he had to have a conversation about with him as soon as possible. He pushed himself out his thoughts regarding Dabi a second later and asked, his voice slightly breaking when he uttered it, "What about Tomura-kun?"

Magne looked at him pitifully, "He's sleeping. He's been asleep since I woke up. When I asked Spinner about it, he told me he tried to wake him up and he told me it was to no avail."

"I see." Y/N nodded in understanding, clenching his hand a bit as he knew it would postpone his conversation with Shigaraki more. He just wanted to talk with Shigaraki. He just wanted to hug him and apologize to him for messing everything up and nearly getting him killed. Was he really asking for much? Trying not to ask about it, he asked, "Has something worth mentioning happened while I was sleeping?"

Minene shook her head, "Can't say it did. It was a regular morning so far."

"Or at least as regular as it can be after what happened yesterday." Daiki added.

Minene sighed, "Yeah..."

"If you want to know more, you'll have to talk with these two." Magne added her own part, pointing towards Skeptic and Kizuki and Y/N looked towards them and saw them still occupied with whatever they've been doing with Skeptic's laptop, "They've been keeping themselves glued to Skeptic's laptop since I was up. From what I saw they've been keeping their eyes on the media related stuff and everything you told me to release last night."

Y/N nodded with a mixture of understanding and gratitude on his face as he turned away from Magne, Minene and Daiki and pushed himself into walk towards Skeptic and Kizuki, "Alright. Thanks for telling me. Talking with them is exactly what I'll do now. I'll talk with you three later. By the way. If you want to check on Origami, can you please wait with checking on her until she'll wake up."

"Alright..." Magne sighed sadly as Y/N nodded gratefully and fully turned away from her and the other two. As he proceeded to make his way towards Skeptic and Kizuki, all three of them looked at him with worry before walking away to go back to whatever they were doing before having their conversation with him.

Y/N made his way to Skeptic and Kizuki and looked down at them, "Good morning."

Skeptic stopped whatever he was doing and looked up at him, "Hey."

"Magne told me you two have been keeping a look at the situation in Japan right now. Can I ask you how things are doing right now?" Y/N voiced his question to Skeptic and Kizuki and Skeptic and Kizuki exchanged glances with each other, silently asking him what they should with.

Skeptic turned back to Y/N a few seconds later and gave him his answer, "Things are bad to say the least. Our country is in shambles right now.."

"And it's a gentle way of putting it." Kizuki added, "People are angry and are demanding answers regarding everything and how heroes allowed all of this to happen. Some of them are demanding for the top heroes to make statements about everything. Like they want Endevaor to make a statement about his problem child or they want U.A and Shiketsu to make statements about those guys from your junior high."

Y/N nodded in understanding, looking pleased with this information, "Alright. Good. Has anyone made a statement, yet?"

Kizuki shook her head, "No."

"With the amount of heroes we put in the hospital yesterday, I think it will take a few days until we'll hear any statements from them." Skeptic added.

"Alright." Y/N once again nodded in understanding and looked at them questioningly, "What about out situation? How are people viewing us? How are they viewing our videos?"

Skeptic sighed, "We got many mixed reactions. While we got many positive reactions from the discriminated groups, we got some negatives reactions from normal people as well."

Y/N raised his brow in interest, "What do you mean?"

Skeptic wasted no time and quickly provided him an explanation, "Let's just say some people aren't happy with the damages we have done in our fight with the heroes after ." Skeptic began to explain to him as Y/N listened to everything he had to say to him, "While they're angry at heroes for letting this happen, they're not giving us the sympathy for what we did. Especially after what happened with the prison breakouts."

"I see." Y/N sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as the mixed response to the videos was not something he wanted. He found himself thinking back to Hawks and cursed him out internally. All of it started with him killing Twice and Tengai. If it wasn't for him, then things would be different, "When you released everything did you brought up how we tried to warn them with Machia and how we had no control of him."

Skeptic nodded in confirmation, "I did. It gained us some points with everyone and made them more angry with the heroes for causing someting like this to happen, but those points were quickly taken away by the prison breakouts. From the comments I read online, people who are against us are pointing out how the damage done by the villains from the prison can amount to the damage done by Machia if they will roam around for long enough."

"Our supporters are arguing with them, but I think you can imagine how those arguments are going if you ever saw an argument online." Kizuki added.

Y/N nodded in understanding, knowing exactly what was Kizuki talking about right now and looked at Skeptic questioningly, "Can I take a look at some of those?"

"Fine. If you want to bother yourself if. I'd suggest you looking up the comments underneath your confession video. I think this is the best you can take look a look on right now." Skeptic told him as he turned his laptop around and held it out to Y/N.

Taking the laptop from him, Y/N nodded in understanding and did exactly what Skeptic had suggested him. He searched his confession video on YouTube and clicked on it. What instantly caught his attention was the amount of views his video had gotten. Despite being only posted yesterday, it had already gathered a large amount of views and was second most trending video in Japan with Dabi's confession being the first one.

After clicking ont he video and making sure it won't play while he'll be reading the comments, he began scrolling down and saw the amount of likes and dislikes the video. While it some a lot of likes, it had a lot of dislikes as well and it showed him just how conflicted and divided everyone were when it came to everything. Shifting his attention away from the likes and dislikes ratio, he scrolled down more and reached the comment section a second later, seeing all the comments.

The comments were exactly like he expected from what Skeptic and Kizuki told him a moment ago.

Westbrook20: L/N Y/N = Voice for the rights of the Quirkless People!

ShintaroJA: He should have just jumped and get this over with. It would save this country a lot of trouble.

Daisy123: Finally someone who voices how Quirkless people are treated like sub-human and no one gives a crap about it.

PrimeDuke: So he is bullied at school and suddenly feels like going on a rampage? As a fan of Yoroi Musha, you can go fuck himself for all I care.

Kaltan87: Paranomal Liberation Front = Judgement Day for the Hero Society

Pol412: Something Synyster bout to go down.

Y/N shook his head to himself, seeing some of the comments and how some of them were calling him out for all the heroes he killed during the mansion battle. Letting out a sigh, he found himself thinking back to what happened back there. What he did back there was fighting back and nothing anyone will say will change his mind. Heroes started killing people in this war by killing Twice and Tengai. He just followed their example.

At the same time he couldn't help but ask himself something whenever he stumbled upon comments like this. Would the same people be against fighting back if the the villains attacked first and the heroes fought back? This question kept repeating himself in his mind each time he read a comment like this as he really wanted to know. Too bad he most likely won't find out the answer unless he asked them this question himself.

Something in the comments caught his attention a second later as he stumbled upon a discussion between two users who went by the names usernames of Hootylingo and UfO671. Clicking ont he comment, he began to read what those two users had to say to each other.

Hootylingo: I'm looking at the comments of people praising this dude and I can't believe how many of you are praising a mass murderer.

UfO671: Dude. Heroes attacked first and you saw it yourself they drew the first blood in Dabi's video. What else they were supposed to do?

Hootylingo: I dunno. Maybe surrender like normal people?

UfO671: Really? What would you do if people attacked you? You wouldn't defend yourself? You're probably the kind of person to criticize a country for fighting back while they're being invaded instead of surrending right away.

Hootylingo: You really are comparing a bunch of terrorrists to a country which got invaded? What's wrong with you?

UfO671: What? In both of those cases someone got invaded and both sides had to defend themselves.

Hootylingo: Haven't you read what I just said? There's a difference between a bunch of terrorrist refusing to surrender and people defending their country. Look at the damages they did to this country when the giant rushed through the cities and he kid who made this video is responsible for the deaths of 26 heroes for Gods sake.

UfO671: They had no control of the giant and they tried to warn people about him.

Hootylingo: And? Does it excuse having them having something like this in the first place?

UfO671: If you want to talk about differences so much and excusing everything, then how about I'll ask you this? What if the roles were reversed and the heroes fought back and things escalated the way they did? Would you you defend them or would you detest their actions?

Hootylingo: I'm sure would have problems with it at first, but I'm certain I would come to understand it. Whatever they're doing is to protect. Those terrorrists are doing whatever they do for their own gain.

UfO671: Jeez. Talk about hypocrisy and completely missing the point of the videos they had released. But I guess this is what you would expect with Edgeshot on his profile picture. The hero stuff probably rotten your brain too much and you can't accept they're no better than the people you think are despicable. No matter what you say, all of it is the heroes fault. They had ignored everything around them and kept things the way they are and now everything exploded because of it.

Y/N shook his head to himself, feeling like the question he had just asked himself was answered. Even though he expected to see something like this, he still found himself sighing at the view of people like this. At least they were people out there who were open minded and were more accepting of how things really looked like. Having decided he had seen enough, he decided to hand the laptop back to Skeptic.

Something made him in the last second, though and he focused himself entirely on it once again, because of it. The said something was a thumbmail of a video uploaded by a news channel. The video was pretty fresh as it was uploaded a few minutes ago. What made this video catch his attention was the way it way it was titled. "L/N Y/N or Shigaraki Y/N?". His eyes slightly widened at the view of this title, feeling himself getting taken aback by it.

While he was playfully called a Shigaraki by his friends from the League following Shigaraki's departure for his operation, it was the first time when someone called him a Shigaraki outside the League and it was a media outlet out of all possible things. If he was honest with himself, he didn't really mind being called like this and even though he hated his surname with every inch of his body, he wanted to keep it with himself for now as he knew it would hurt his original family if he kept having it and kept doing everything he was doing as the Mask.

He pushed himself out of his thoughts regarding what he just saw a second later as glanced over the laptop to look at Skeptic and Kizuki, "Are the comments underneath all of the other videos like this?"

"More or less." Kizuki confirmed it with a nod of her head.

Skeptic nodded in confirmation, "From what we've seen, yes."

"Alright. If that's the case, then I saw everything I need to see right now." Y/N said in understanding and turned the laptop around, holding it out back to it's owner, "Thanks for letting me take a look at it. I may take a better look at everything later."

Skeptic nodded at Y/N, taking his laptop from him, "Alright."

Y/N shifted his gaze away from Skeptic and Kizuki for a second and looked at the doors to the room Dabi was supposed to be in right now before shifting his gaze back to them for a second, "Alright. With me having taken a look at this, I'll get going. There's someone I need to talk with. Is there anything else that I need to know about before I'll leave?"

Kizuki wasted no time and informed him, "You're a S ranked villain right now and are the third most wanted person in the country after All For One and Shigaraki."

"I see." Y/N voiced his understanding of it, looking completely unmoved and unbothered by either of those facts, "Keep monitoring everything. If anything comes up, inform me about it straight away."

Skeptic nodded at him, "Will do."

Y/N turned away from Skeptic and Kizuki a second later, having set his eyes on the doors to Dabi's room and pushed himself into walk towards it. As he continued to make his way towards it and found himself closer and closer to it, he couldn't help but ask himself what he will do now about Dabi in their upcoming conversation and what he will say to him. If Dabi will allow him to have this conversation with him. He wasn't intending on forcing him to do anything. Like always.

He stopped in front of the door to Dabi's room and looked over his shoulder and Magne for a second. He nodded at her, silently letting her know what he was intending on doing right now and Magne nodded back at him. He shifted his gaze back to the doors a second later and knocked it on a few times a second later, letting the villain inside know someone was coming, before grabbing the door handle and pushing the door open.

The h/c haired boy walked into the room a second later and looked around himself. Even though the room was quite dark, it didn't take him long to locate Dabi. His now white hair made the job much easier for Y/N. The teenager saw Dabi who was shirtless laying on the couch in the room, looking up towards the ceiling as he was eyeing the scars on his right arm. Dabi shifted his attention to the door right after hearing someone enter the room and Y/N appeared in his view.

Upon laying his eyes on Y/N, Dabi sat up on the couch and let out a humorless chuckle, "Heh. I should have expected you'd go to check one me after I heard you talking with the others outside the room. What do you want, kid?"

Y/N didn't answer to him straight away and instead allowed himself to eye the state Dabi's body was in as it was the first time when he actually had a chance to eye most of his scars and burns aside from his face and arms burns and scars. It was the first time when he actually got a chance to see just how damaged Dabi's body is and it was left him silent for a moment as he had no idea what he should say about it right now.

Y/N shook his head to himself at the view of Dabi's body. He suspected it to be damaged, but was not expecting it to be that damaged. It just made him ask himself how did Dabi's life look like before he joined the League. What happened to him to him ever since he left his family? His questions became filled with questions like this regarding Dabi as a person and it made him stay silent for the next few moments, leaving Dabi confused by his sudden silence in the process.

Dabi raised his brow at Y/N's silence, before seeing his eyes were set on his body. He let out a sigh and told him, "Yeah. I know. My body is pretty disgusting. You don't need to stare at it as much as you do."

Y/N pushed himself out his thoughts a second later and began to apologize, "N-No! That's not it! I'm sorry. I just..."

"Don't apologize for it. It doesn't matter." Dabi cut him off, "What do you want?"

Y/N collected himself from his apologetic stuttering and asked him, "Can we talk about what happened and what we learned about you yesterday? With you being Endeavor's son and all."

"I see. You're not the only one who wanted to talk about it with me." Dabi sighed. First Magne and now Y/N. The League really was interested in him after yesterday. Letting out another sigh, he told him, "Fine. May as well get this conversation over with. What do you want to know from me?"

Y/N pointed at the couch, "Would you mind if I sat next to you for this conversation?"

Dabi shrugged, "Do what you want."

"Alright." Y/N nodded at him gratefully, appreciating he was allowing to sit next to him. He walked over to the couch and sat down on it, finding himself next to Dabi. Dabi looked at him questioningly, wanting him to finally ask this question. Y/N voiced wha the had to say to him a second later, "...So."

"So what?" Dabi cut him off, "You must be wondering if everything I said about Endeavor was true. Right?"

Y/N nodded in confirmation, "Yeah..."

Dabi sighed and gave Y/N a nod of confirmation, "Yeah. All of it is true. He really breed me to achieve his dream and casted me aside like I was nothing when an inconvenience appeared in our training."

Y/N raised his brow, "What inconvenience it was?"

"As you probably already either suspected or figured it out yourself, my Quirk is hurting me." Dabi replied as Y/N nodded in understanding. It explained his scars and why smoke was often coming out of Dabi whenever he was using his Quirk. It explained his burnt marks and scars all over his body as well, "When he found out about it, he gave up on me and moved his focus until I think you know who was born."

"He didn't try anything to work around this weakness with you?" Y/N asked him another question.

Dabi shook his head, "No. He didn't. After one visit at the doctor, he just gave up on it right away without even trying to find a way to walk around this weakness."

"But he knows support items exist, right?" Y/N pointed out, "He could have looked into this and maybe he would find something to make your Quirk stop hurting you as much as it does."

Dabi snorted, "Do you really think he would bother to do something like this? I suppose he didn't want to risk his precious time and wanted to focus it on creating a perfect puppet which won't bring him any trouble while training instead."

"I see..." Y/N said in understanding, feeling disgust washing over him at the thought of Endeavor. To think this was someone who was supposed to be the current number one hero of their country...

Dabi looked at him questioningly, "So. What now?"

Y/N raised his brow, "What do you mean by 'What now?'?"

"So, what are you gonna do about it now?" Dabi voiced his question to him as Y/N silently stared at him, "Wouldn't be the first time I didn't feel belonged."

Y/N shook his head at him with a pity and sympathy filled look on his face, "Dabi..."

"Kid? Why are you...?" Dabi's words died in his throat as Y/N moved towards him. It was when something he wasn't expecting to happen happened. Y/N hugged him, keeping his arms wrapped around him as he gave him a tight comforting hug. Dabi blinked in suprise of what just happened, having not been expecting Y/N to hug him the way he did, "...Kid. What are you doing?"

"I'm so sorry this happened to you." Y/N told Dabi with genuine worry and sympathy in his words, not wanting to let him go as Dabi remained frozen in his place, not knowing how to react to getting hugged like this. He wasn't used to this. In fact. He couldn't remember the last time when someone hugged him like this, "I know it feels like when your parents birth you for one purpose and discard you and treat you like crap when you're not meeting their exceptations. I wouldn't wish this to most people. If you will need someone you can talk with about it, then I'll be there."

Dabi remained taken aback by the hug, not hugging Y/N back as he nodded at him, "Yeah. Yeah. I get it."

Y/N pulled away from Dabi a second later and looked at him with his sympathy not leaving his face, "To answer your question. No. This does not change anything. You are still part of the League and will always be part of it. You will always be welcomed in our organization and nothing will change that. The League will always be there for you and we'll support you in taking down your...Endeavor."

Dabi remained silent for the next few seconds and eventually nodded in understanding. He huffed a bit in amusement as well. This kid really was putting his comrades above everything else, "Yeah. I'll keep it in mind. Is there anything else you want to know from me?"

Y/N stared at him silently for a moment, knowing now it was time he should ask about about something else and it was something he really wanted to know about and hoped Dabi will give him as much of an answer as he can, considering he was there. He let out an exhale and asked, "...Dabi. You were there when Jin and Tengai-kun were killed. Right? You brought it up in your video."

Dabi's expression grew colder when Y/N had asked him about that, "Yeah. I was. I tried to stop Hawks from killing Twice. Why are you asking me about this?"

"Could you tell me what really went down back there?" Y/N voiced his question to him.

"Do you really want to know what went down back there?" Dabi wanted to be sure if Y/N was sure about it.

Y/N gave him a nod of confirmation with a serious look on his face, "I want to know what that bastard did to them."

Dabi nodded in understanding, letting out a sigh, "Alright. If you want to know, then I'll tell about it."

----

It was supposed to be a normal day for Twice. He was supposed to met up with Hawks for their usual meetups and would afterwards be collected by Tengai and would go to met un the lunch with the rest of the League, before going to another long boring meeting with the where they would continue to plan everything out for Shigaraki's return from his operation. It would be a normal day for him and nothing bad would happen. Right?

Unfortunately, this was not the case here as it was proven that his hopes were far from the truth. The ground suddenly started shaking and it instantly made him think that an earthquake was happening. Those were common in Japan, right? He was once again proven to be wrong, though as the earthquake was followed by a bunch of red feathers he had grown more than familiar with over the course of the last few weeks. The red feathers wasted no time and pinned upside down against the floor, leaving him surrounded.

"...Wait. What's going on?" He asked as he glanced towards the doorway and saw Hawks who was clutching two feather blades in his hand. His eyes widened at the view of him standing like this with weapons in ready, "...Hawks?"

"I told the Safety Commission when to attack in code. It was a whole thing." Hawks explained, his feathers swirling in the air as they destroyed a spy device, "Our strategy this mission is to overwhelm with numbers."

Twice kept looking up at him with wide eyes, "Hey..."

"So obviously I had to make sure you didn't have a chance to start Doubling yourself." Hawks cut him off, stepping towards Twice who remained pinned to the ground by the feathers.

"Hey, wait. No." Twice attempted to speak up, but Hawks once again cut him off.

"I needed to keep an eye on you at all times." Hawks continued as Twice remembered their shared time together, "Twice, bro. We should totally review before the meeting." I'm not a bad actor, huh?"

"Hawks." Twice managed to utter Hawks' name. He was silenced for the third time, though as Hawks pointed his blade directly at his face.

"Please don't put up a fight. I'd like to keep you nice and safe until I can hand you over to the police." Hawks told him, tightening his grip on the blade in his grasp.

"Wait, hold on. This can't be right." Twice's breathing became erratic as he was flooded with memories of what went down with Overhaul which resulted in Origami, Magne and Mr. Compress losing their arms. Tears began to form in his eyes as he realized how he had messed up again. How he had put his friends in danger again, "No! I don't want to go through this again! Why does this keep happening?!" His mind flew back to the conversation he had with Giran before joining the League, "I thought... I thought I had to trust you. I thought..." He began to choke on his own tears, "I thought I had to trust you. I thought, if I didn't believe in you, I'd be giving in to the darkness again. I didn't want that..."

"Thank you. In the end, I guess it comes down to bad luck." Hawks coldly uttered as Twice clutched the sides of his head in distress, "Atone for your crimes and start over. I'm happy to help you build a new life. 'Cause I think you are a good person."

"Shut up. Is this what heroes do?" Twice retorted, his tearful pained tone becoming a mixture of frustation and rage.

"Don't get up." Hawks asked.

"What do you mean, "start over"? Huh?" Hawks challenged.

"Bubaigawara!" Hawks called out Twice by his real name.

"No!" Twice shouted as one of Hawks' feathers tore through his eyes, revealing his tearful and enranged eye, "I stopped giving a damn about myself a long time ago."

"The last thing I wanna do right now is fight!" Hawks shouted, trying to get Twice to stop.

Twice glared at him, "You don't wanna fight? If you cared about it, then you wouldn't have started all of this in the first place! Is this the better way you told Y/N when you had your conversation with him?!

"Just come quietly." Hawks continued.

"I don't really care what you want!" Twice shouted in a mixture of anger and pain, summoning multiple clones of himself, "The only reason. I'm alive is them. All my friends. I just want to make sure they're happy. I'll take responsibility this time!"

"HERO! YOU WILL DIE!" All of his clones declared in unison.

But before the clones could do anything, Hawks quickly took care of them with his feathers and kept taking care of all the new ones which were created afterwards, "You're multiplying at an insane rate. But since you're making copies of copies, they aren't very durable."

"I can't keep up. They're too fast." Twice muttered tearfully, sitting there defeated with tears of despair on his face.

"I won't make a mistake because I let emotions get the better of me." Hawks declared, keeping his feathers above in the air, "If you'd done as I said, we could have salvaged this. I really do like you, Jin."

Twice gasped, unleashing a new waves of clones in an instant. This time, however, the clones resembled every member of the League. Y/N, Shigaraki, Toga, Origami, Mustard, Magne, Mr. Compress, Spinner, Rappa and Tengai. All of them stood with him, ready to defend him right now, "These are my only friends! You don't get to act chummy with me." As soon as he uttered those words, Hawks eliminated all of the clones, "Use every last feather. I don't even care, bastard!"

"I like to take enemies out quickly. Do you know why that is?" Hawks asked as his feathers proceeded to take down Twice's clones like it was nothing, "Because a villain who refuses to quit is the most terrifying thing a hero can face. I've seen it. The strong-willed are hard to knock out."

"Shut up!" Twice shouted, having given up on the idea of using his clones on Hawks. Just as he was about to charge at Hawks in a desperate attempt of attacking him, he found himself surrounded by the familiar yellow barrier with spikes sticking out of it. Twice froze in his tracks at the view of it, "W-What?"

"What the...?!" Hawks askied himself in suprise. Looking around himself, he quickly managed to locate the source of the barrier and saw Tengai looking at him from the side. He must have entered the room from the side entrance from it. Just like Twice, Tengai was surrounded by a yellow barrier. From the way he looked at him right now, he could tell Tengai was pissed at him.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Tengai asked him, breaking himself out of his calm and collected persona for once as he glared at the man who had attempted to murder one of his comrades and friends.

Twice looked at Twice in a mixture of relief and guilt, ""Tengai-kun! I-I'm so sorry!"

"You didn't anything wrong, Twice." Tengai told him, his glaring eyes refusing to leave Hawks, "If there'a anyone who should be put to blame in this situation, it's him. To think you have an audacity to call yourself a hero when your first instict was to kill Twice without even trying a non lethal takedown."

Hawks narrowed his eyes at him, "I didn't try to kill him straight away. I offered him a way out and he refused to comply."

"You offered him a way out after you mocked him for the fact that the trusted you." Tengai pointed out. He shook his head to himself, seeing how Hawks feathers were hitting his and Twice's barrier. He really wished he had a way of contacting the others to tell them what was happening right now, "You used a mentally ill who trusted you and afterwards mocked him for trusting you and you have an audacity to ask him to come with you? How much you had deluded yourself into think if anyone would agree to come with you after something like this?

Twice nodded tearfully, "Yeah! You really thought I will trust you again after this? You know I love the League and would never leave them! If you want me to come with you, then you should have thought about saving the rest of them too!"

"You know I can't do that." Hawks shook his head, using his feathers on the barriers created by Twice and Tengai as he did his best to break them apart so he could finish whatever he was doing right now.

"Yeah? Why?!" Twice demanded to know.

"Because all of them have proven themselves to be too dangrous and beyond saving to me." Hawks gave him an honest answer, "Even L/N. When I had my conversation with him, I had some hopes for him due to him saving that little girl from Overhaul. My hopes were in vain, though as he proved himself to be the worst kind of villain to me. Just like you, he is a villain who refuses to quit and doesn't see anything wrong with what he's doing."

Tengai shook his head, "Really? What about you? This is something right to you?"

Hawks shifted his gaze to him, seeing how his feathers were slowly creating cracks in Twice and Tengai's barriers, "I'm doing what has to be done to avoid further destruction. If you want to get chatty with me, then how about we'll talk about you Tengai Hekiji?"

Tengai narrowed his eyes at him, "What is there to me to talk about?"

"I did a little research regarding all of you. You're an orphan of two Pro-Heroes, right?" Hawks asked him as Tengai narrowed his eyes further at him while Twice look at him in suprise, having not known about this part of Tengai's past, "You were brought to a temple by them when you were a toddler and were raised there until you were brought into the yakuza by Overhaul."

Tengai shook his head, "Leave this out of our discussion. I'm not interested in talking about it."

Hawks narrowed his eyes at him, "Really? Because from what I'm seeing, you're angry your parents abandoned you for their work and are now taking it out on the world. Firstly, it was with the yakuz and now it's with the League.

Tengai once again shook his head, "No. I'm not. To be honest I never cared much about my parents, whoever they were as never knew them or spoke with them directly. Do you know what I'm doing what I'm doing with the League? It's because I believe in our goal. I believe in Master Shigaraki and Master Y/N. They are the leaders I will follow everywhere. I want to see the world they will create and I'll be more than happy to offer them my help in doing so."

"Even if it includes putting so many people at risk?" Hawks asked.

Tengai nodded in confirmation, "Putting people at risk? You know what we were planning to do. If anything, whatever you heroes are doing right now is putting people at risk."

"I see..." Hawks began to say. Just as he was about to continue, his conversation with Tengai got cut short as the barriers around Tengai and Twice couldn't take anymore of his feathers and broke down.

Knowing it was his chance to attack, Hawks put the plan he had formed right now into action. He charged towards Tengai, intending to knock him out before he'll move towards Twice again. He didn't forget about Twice, though. He knew Twice will try to summon his clones again once the barrier will be destroyed and it was exactly what happened. Directing his feathers towards him, he began to take out all of the clones Twice had to just created while also keeping him away from Tengai.

Seeing how his feathers were doing a good job at keeping Twice busy, Hawks entirely focused himself on Tengai and taking care of him before he'll create new barriers. Tengai noticed him heading his way and saw the way Hawks' feathers were taking care of Twice. Hawks attacked him before he could get a chance to do anything, though. The difference between them in terms of fighting skills showed and Hawks easily overpowered Tengai.

Doing his best to stop to stop Hawks from doing anything to him, Tengai grabbed Hawks' feather blade and tried to pull it away from him. Gritting his teeth, Hawks tried to flee his blade from his grasp. He shook his head to himself a second later, knowing it was just wasting his time and he knew he couldn't waste it. Not wasting any time, the number two hero headbutted Tengai and Tengai was knocked down to the ground, his bird mask separating itself from his face as a result of this and revealing his full face to Hawks.

Hawks pinned Tengai against the floor with his shoe, looking down at him, "I must say. You suprised me. I was told you can create only one barrier without spikes."

Tengai glared at him, "Did you really thought we told you everything about our powers?"

Hawks raised his brow, "What?"

"Many of us have evolved our powers." Tengai explained, his glare refusing to leave his face, "By the time my and Twice's comrades will be done with them, you are going to regret daring to pull off something like this."

Hawks shook his head, knowing how badly it can end for his side if this knowledge was kept away from him. All he could do now was hope things won't go as badly as he knew they can with the others not knowing about it. He focused himself back on Tengai a second later, "Stay down. I don't want to hurt you. You were one of the nicest people around here."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Tengai retorted, "Do you really think I will allow you to kill my friend because of it?"

Hawks shook his head at Tengai's words, knowing he had no time for a discussion with him and hit him directly in the face with the handle of his blade. He turned away from Tengai a second later, convinced he had knocked him out. Tengai wasn't knocked out, though. He forced himself to stay conscious for the sake of Twice. Even if his vision was blury. He regained his vision a few seconds later and looked up, seeing how close Hawks was to Twice with his feather blade in ready right now.

"Twice!" Tengai shouted in worry. Driven by the moment and acting without thinking, he shot up to his feet and pushed himself into run towards Twice and Hawks in order to push Twice out of Hawks' way. He found himself between him and Hawks a second later, managing to push Twice away from him. It unfortunately came with a cost. Just as Hawks was about to swing his blade at Twice, Tengai found himself in his way instead and took the hit for Twice.

"Shit!" Hawks' eyes widened at what just happened, having not been intending for this to happen as Tengai couched up some blood as he looked down at the blade going through his chest and saw how bad the situation was. His basic medical knowledge instantly told him he was not going to survive this. He was dying and he knew it.

"...Rappa. I'm sorry I won't see you on the meeting like I promised..." Tengai uttered what he knew would be his final words, feeling blood pouring out his mouth. It was when his eyes rolled backwards, signalling one thing to Twice and Hawks. Hekiji Tengai was gone. His last thoughts were of his comrades from the League and most specifically Rappa. In his final moments, he regretted he won't be able to help them anymore...

Hawks shook his head, knowing how badly it will look for him, "Shit, shit, shit!"

"Tengai-kun! NO!" Twice screamed in pure despair and rage in his voice. He couldn't believe it. His actions actually got one of his friends murdered. He charged towards Hawks, intending to kill him as angry and guilty tears were streaming down his cheeks, "You murderer! You fucking murderer! You killed my friend! I'll fucking kill you!"

Hawks instantly reacted to the view of Twice charging towards him and sliced him with his feather blade, causing him to collapse on the floor, "I don't want to do this. But it has to be done. This is what happens when neither side will give up."

Twice looked up at him with a despair and tear filled look on his face, "You people call yourself "heroes." But when things get tough, your kind always abandons the people who are the lowest. Not my side. When I fall apart, Toga wraps me in her handkerchief and Y/N treats me like his best friend, even though I'm the reason his beloved Origami-chan lost her arm. And you know what? This isn't even the first time I've screwed up. Not long ago, I got everyone hurt. But they still kept me. I don't think Toga's gonna wrap me up today and I don't think Y/N will treat me like I am his best friend today, though."

He glared at Hawks, mud beginning to pour out of his body as he tried to create a clone for one final time, "But that's fine. All I want is to make sure the people I care for end up happy!"

"I'll be sure to let them know that." Hawks replied as he was about to stab Twice when suddenly a wave of blue flames erupted form the doorway. Immediately reacting to it, Hawks evaded the attack but his wings were singed by the intense heat. Wincing in pain, Hawks found himself confronted by by someone who placed their foot on his face, shattering his eyewear in the process. Hawks looked up at the person pinning him against the floor, seeing it who he suspected. It was Dabi.

"That won't be necessary. I heard him." Dabi grinned down at him, "You didn't notice me did ya, Hawks? Guess you did get distracted. Something you'll definitely regret."

"D-Dabi. I'm sorry. I got Tengai-kun killed." Twice tearfully stuttered out to Dabi, his eyes set on Tengai's unmoving body in the corner of the room.

Dabi shifted his attention to Dabi, his grin fading away from his face and his gaze softening,"Don't feel bad, Twice. You didn't make a mistake. It's the self-righteous heroes who are in the wrong. Now can you move away? I want to make pay and you'll get caught up in if you're so close."

"O-Okay." Twice nodded in understanding, slowly getting himself up from the floor and making his way into a safe distance away from Dabi and Hawks. Once he was in a safe enough distance from Dabi and Hawks, the former put his plan in action. He pressed his boot against Hawks' face further and released a burst of fire. However, Hawks dodged the fire and got himself to safety.

"He dodged that?" Dabi asked himself internally, looking in Hawks direction and saw him staring at him from across the room. His grin quickly returned to his face as he realized something, "It doesn't matter. How're you gonna fight with burned-up feathers?"

Hawks looked at him coldly, "You made your friend move away from the flames? I gotta say. You suprised. You never came off as that kind of person to me."

Dabi shrugged, "What can I say? Those people grew on me even if I don't show it to them or anyone else. You can blame the little brat that I was hanging out with for that."

Hawks shook his head at him and asked, "Answer me this, will ya? You act like you're not surprised that I betrayed you and your crew. How'd you figure me out?"

Dabi once again shrugged at him, beginning to smirk, "Didn't really have to. See, at no point did I ever trust you."

"Even though I did so many awful things to prove myself loyal?" Hawks asked.

"You're right. You were helpful, weren't you?" Dabi retorted, "You know the funniest thing about it? No one from the League trusted you. Y/N even had that long haired weirdo keep his eyes on you 24/7 as he something was telling him you were up to something."

Hawks narrowed his eyes "Really? Why didn't he take care of me, then?"

"Because he gave you a benefit of the doubt." Dabi explained, "He trusted you won't lower yourself enough to doing something like this and you completely flushed it down. If I were you, I would beg me to burn you alive. You saw what he did to Overhaul for hurting his comrades. Imagine what he will do to someone who actually killed one of them. Especially since I know what he can do with his power now. Rappa is on the same boat as hm. You killed his best friend, after all and I know he won't be happy once he learn about it."

Hawks bit his lip, seeing how Dabi meant all of this words, but intended not to give him the satisfaction of showing him how he felt like right now, "Gee, thanks for the warning, but I think I'll pass on begging you to burn me."

"Alright. Your choice." Dabi shrugged. Just as he was about to say something else to Hawks, he saw three of Twice's clones rushing towards Hawks. He shifted his gaze to Twice in an instant.

"Dabi! Roost the bird!" Twice shouted, glaring at Hawks while holding Toga's handerchief in his hand. Upon seeing this from Twice, Dabi smirked and unleashed a massive wave of flames.

Leaving himself convinced Hawks was burned away by his flames, Dabi shifted his gaze to Twice and smirked at him, "Time for you to let loose. Put the advantage back on our side. Go wild! Everyone's waiting for you!"

"Yeah. I'm on it! Thanks!" Twice nodded in understanding, tears refusing to leave his face as he began to stumble his way out of the room. As he continued to make his way there, he stumbled his way past Dabi and exchanged a quick high five with him. Clones started erupting from back, leaving him all ready to help his friends. However not everything went according to his plan as Hawks appeared in front of him. His eyes widened as Hawks closed in, ready to strike him down.

"What? He flew out ahead of the flames and circled to the back!" Dabi internally declared in his mind in suprise. As Hawks continued to make his way towards Hawks, he knew Hawks was too fast for his flames to reach him and he knew what it would mean for Twice, "He's too fast!"

"Outta my way!" Twice shouted to Hawks with desperation evident in his voice.

"Takami Keigo!" Dabi called out, turning around to face Hawks as he knew it would suprise Hawks. Why? Because it was Hawks' real name and only a handful of people knew about it. His plan worked as Hawks was taken aback by this, allowing Dabi to launch a fire attack on him. However, Hawks quickly evaded Dabi's attack by taking flight into the air.

Using this situation to his advantage, Twice made his way out of the room and leaned against the railing. Letting out one deep breath after another. Blood gushed from his nose and mouth as he watched all the chaos happening around him from where he stood. It was when he found himself thinking about his friends and how they needed him right now. He was always a burden to them, even though they accepted him where they needed it the most and he intended to finally return the favor for caring about him for all this time.

Clutching the handerchief tightly in his hands, Twice gathered all of his remaining strength and took a step forward. Blood from his wound stained the ground below him as he held out his hand and summoned two clones. However, before he could do more, Hawks found himself directly behind him amongst all the blue flames around him with a feather blade aimed right at his back. The real Twice didn't think much after that...

----

Dabi finished recalling the story to Y/N by saying, "...And that's it. That's everything you need to know regarding Hawks. When I was about to burn him alive, one of the brats from U.A showed up and took him away."

"I see." Y/N nodded in understanding, his expression set it stone. He clenched his hand, feeling a wave of anger, disgust and hatred go through his body as he found himself thinking about Hawks. What Dabi had just told him made him more angry and more vengeful towards Hawks. He didn't even try to knock Twice out and went to killing him straight away. He even mocked him for trusting him.

Dabi took notice of Y/N's reaction and asked him, "What will you do now, kid?"

"I'm going to kill Hawks. Not today. Not tommorow. But I'm going to kill him." Y/N gave him an honest answer and Dabi sensed absolute lack of hesitation in his voice when he uttered those words. If he ever had any slight doubts about killing Hawks, they became nonexistent now. He was going to kill Hawks sooner or later. Hawks was a dead man walking and nothing was going to change his fate.

Dabi nodded in understanding, "Alright. If you'll get to him before I'll do, make sure to punch hin in my name."

"I will." Y/N promised to him.

Dabi once again nodded at him and stood up from the couch. Stretching his arms above his head, he pushed himself into walk towads an old piece of furniture on the side of the room as it was when he had placed his upper clothes the night before, "Good. Now follow me."

Y/N raised his brow in a curious manner as he got up from the couch and followed Dabi towards the furniture, "What are you doing?"

Dabi stopped in front of his clothes and reached into the back pocket of his jacket, "There's something I need to give to you."

"What? To me?" Y/N asked, having just stopped directly behind Dabi.

Dabi pulled something out of the back pocket of his jacket and held it out towards Y/N, "Yeah. I wanted to give you this."

Y/N looked at whatever Dabi had just held out to him and saw it was a handkerchief and a picture of all the League together. He immediately recognized who these things belonged to, "...W-What? Isn't that?"

"Yes. Those were Twice's." Dabi nodded in confirmation, "I took them from his body before I left to find you and the others. I figured out I should give those to you and the blond psycho since you two were the closest to him."

Y/N shifted his gaze between Dabi and Twice's belongings with a grateful look on his face. Words couldn't express how much grateful he was to Dabi for bing considerate enough to to take those things from Twice and to give them to him and Toga. He only wished Toga was here so she could receive something right away. He'll have to give either of those things to her the next time he'll see her. If he was honest with himself, he already knew what to give to her. The handkerchief was something she deserved to have.

"D-Dabi. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much." He voiced his gratitude to Dabi, taking the picture of the League and handkerchied from him. If was honest with himself, he felt like hugging Dabi again just to show him how much he appreciated what he did right now.

"Yeah. Whatever." Dabi nodded at him, "Just make sure to give one of those things to the blond psycho."

"I will." Y/N told him, having placed both of those things safely in his pocket. Just as he and Dabi were about to continue their conversation, it was cut short by someone opening the door to the room open. The two looked in the direction of the door and saw Spinner standing in the doorway, letting out a deep breath, "Shuichi-kun?

Dabi looked at him questioningly, "What do you want lizard?"

Spinner wasted no time and gave them his answer, "All For One is here and by him I mean his real body."

-----

After being informed by Spinner about All For One's arrival, Y/N wasted no time and quickly made his way outside where Magne, Kizuki, Skeptic, Minene and Daiki were already waiting for him and the rest. He was followed by Spinner and Dabi followed him as well a moment later. He waited with following Y/N for a moment as he wanted to put on his jacket on himself, before stepping outside with the others.

Upon making his way outside and stopping between Magne and Minene, Y/N was greeted by the view of an emergency aircraft from Tartatus on the ground and All For One standing in front of it, looking like he had just gotten himself out of it. Y/N asked himself how did he not hear the aircraft landing on the ground. He came up with an answer to it a second later. He must have landed on the ground with it while he occupied with his conversation with Dabi.

The h/c haired boy kept his eyes on All For One, seeing him in the same white attire he was in last night when they broke him out of the prison. His attention was pushed away from All For One a second later, having just heard something move on the side and looked in the direction of the noise where he saw most of the Nomus waking up at the knowledge of All For One being around them right now. The only Nomu which didn't wake up was the one Nomu on whose back Shigaraki was resting right now.

"He's here, huh?" Dabi muttered under his breath, having just made his way to the rest of the League and looked at All For One with narrowed eyes.

All For One shifted his attention away from the Nomus and shifted it to the League a second later, "Looks my arrival gathered quite a crowd."

Dabi kept his eyes narrowed him, "What are you doing here?"

"Where's this hostility coming from Dabi?" All For One asked, "It would be only normal of me to eventually make my back to Shigaraki, Y/N and their little League once I'll be done with everything I was doing following by escape to freedom."

Dabi rolled his eyes at him, "Were you not followed at least?"

"Who do you take me for, Dabi? Fo some kind of amateur?" All For One asked him in return, "To answer your question. No. I wasn't followed and I don't think I or any of us will be tracked down anytime soon. With the chaos I've left behind in Japan over the course of the last few hours and everyone being too occupied with maintaining, we have more than enough time to regroup with the other survivors from your little Liberation Front and plan out our next move with them. I even began to work at locating the last lieutenant who is believed to have escaped."

Magne raised her brow at him, "What? Someone else escaped?"

"Who is it?" Y/N asked, looking like he really wanted to know who it was.

All For One gave them his answer a second later, "From the information I managed to gather it was Geten."

Y/N's eyes widened at this, looking slightly gladdened by this, "Geten?"

Dabi crossed his arms, "So the icy dude is still out there, huh?"

Skeptic for once looked relieved by something, "Good to know he made it out of there. Even if he wasn't carried on the giant."

Spinner raised his brow at this, "You didn't know about this? Weren't you keeping your eyes on the internet stuff?"

"It wasn't the info we had browsed through." Kizuki explained to him, "Aside from everyone here having escaped and the damage we've done, the real number of the escapee's from the Liberation Front wasn't released into the public, yet."

Skeptic pocketed his hands, "If I were to guess, they probably want to make sure they won't make people more angry with them than they already are by releasing a fake information of the escapee's into the public and are making sure whatever they wil release will fit whatever bullshit narration they're trying to come up with. All the prison breakout mus tbe keeping them busy with it as well."

"I'm of the same opinion." All For One admitted, "Neverthless. It just works in our favor and we should make the most of it. I'm already trying to contact Geten and whoever is with him. If we'll get lucky enough, we'll come into contact with him soon enough."

"Here's hoping." Skeptic muttered under his breath.

All For One shifted his gaze to him, "Y/N. Could you step forward? I'd like to have a conversation with you in person."

Y/N felt slightly taken aback by getting called out like that. He shook off his suprise a second later, though and stepped forward from the rest of the League. He made his way to All For One and stopped directly in front of him, "What do you want to talk about, Sensei?"

"I just want to know I'm proud of you." All For One told him as Y/N felt his eyes slightly widen upon hearing those words from him, "You have changed a lot since the first time I stumbled upon you on the edge of the roof and have grown a lot as a person. Back then, you were a scared teenager who was ready to throw his life away and now look at yourself. You're a leader with people who are ready to follow you into everything."

Y/N kept himself quiet, not saying anything to him as he knew All For One was not done and allowed him to go further into his words, "Not only that. You have improved your power massively ever since I gave it to you all this time ago. From everything I've seen from you and everything I've heard about when I was out following my escape from Tartatus, I know of everything you are capable of right now and as someone who has faced the Scarlet Hero in the past, I can tell you have surpassed him in terms of having this power. You have put a lot of work of improving yourself and I'm happy to admit that I'm proud of you."

The h/c haired boy remained silent even after All For One was done speaking to him. He was left silent by it as he had no idea how to reply to everything he's been told by his Sensei right now. If he was honest with himself, he was confused by how he was feeling right now as well. Whenever he thought about All For One uttering such words to him, he was convinced he will feel happy and accomplished. Right now, however, his words left him feeling conflicted.

He did his best to keep his expression blank, trying not to appear like he wasn't feeling like he should be right now. It was pretty hard for him as inside he was fighting off a lot of conflicted emotions. Some part of him was happy for hearing something like this and some part of him felt empty. The latter part must have been caused by what happened yesterday as the thought of him leaving Mr. Compress behind and snatching Shigaraki's body remained on the back of his mind.

"...I see. Thank you, Sensei. I'm happy that I made you proud." He broke himself out of his silent state after a few moments, bowing his head respectfully to him to show him he wasn't having any conflicted emotions regarding him inside him.

All For One nodded at him, "Now with me having brought this up to you, there's something else I would like to say to you."

"What is it?" Y/N asked, looking up at him slightly.

"I'm aware of what happens to you whenever you overwork yourself with your Quirk. You're getting headaches, right? And this problem is something which has not vanished even after all the training you put yourself through." All For One wasted no time and filled him in on this, "This is why I would like to reward you something for your hard work. Would you like me to give you a second Quirk to completely eliminate this weakness?"

Y/N looked taken aback by the offer, "W-What?"

"You heard me right." All For One confirmed it to him, "I have an andrealine Quirk in my possession and it will make your headaches less painful to you and will allow you to fight normally. Even if you'll overwork yourself again and will be going through a headache. Would you like to have it?"

Y/N remained silent after this, allowing himself to think about the offer made to him by All For One and he knew it was something he had to think through before deciding. He found himself thinking back to what happened when he fought the U.A students and how he had gone through a headache twice while fighting them. Once in the USJ and once yesterday. He knew he couldn't allow something like this to happen again as he might not get so lucky when it will happen for the third time and might actually end up defeated and captured because of it.

"Yes. I would like to have it." He replied after a moment, looking up at All For One and nodding his head as Dabi shook his head, letting out a sigh while watching everything from behind with the others.

"Very well." All For One replied, smilling after seeing the h/c haired boy accept his offer, "I'm glad you have accepted this as I've been waiting for the right time to give this Quirk to you and now I feel like it's the best time for this as I'm certain you won't waste it."

Y/N held his breath, awaiting what was about to happen as he knew what was about to happen due to him having done this before. All For One placed his hand close to Y/N's forehead, releasing the familiar red veins towards him and Y/N found himself covered by them again. If he was honest with himself, he felt kind of nostalgic right now as he it reminded him of what happened when he had gotten his Quirk all this time ago.

The h/c haired boy felt his eyes widened a second later, feeling the same pain as before going through his body as All For One pulled his hand away from his forehead. Losing the footing in his feet, Y/N landed on the ground and landed on his fours. He bit his lip, trying to stop himself from letting out any painful sounds as he found himself in a massive pain. Like he did before. Because of how he was placed right now, he couldn't see the worried looks Magne, Spinner, Daiki and Minene had on their faces and the narrowed eyes on Dabi's face.

It was when Y/N's eyes widened further, feeling his pain growing further and the pain he was in right now actually became something bigger than he felt when he had gotten his first Quirk. The feeling of this pain left him confused. He couldn't understand or wrap his head around it. Why was this pain bigger? What he received right now was a simple adrenaline Quirk. Nothing else. The pain shouldn't be as tremendous as it was right now and yet it was. In fact. It was way worse than tremendous.

"Guys? What's going on..." Origami's voice rang through his ears a few moments later as she walked out of the Creature Rejection Clan place, joining the others outside. She must have woken up a few moments ago. His girlfriends words died in her throat the moment she saw what was happening with Y/N and she wasted no time when it came to rushing over to him. She stopped next to him, getting herself on her knees with worry written over her face, "Y/N? What's wrong?"

All For One looked down at her, "Relax. Jakuzure. Nothing happened to him. I merely gave him a new Quirk."

Origami's eyes widened at this. "W-What?"

"As you already know, the boy you have grown fond has a weakness of getting headaches whenever he overworks himself." All For One began to explain to her, "What I did right was eliminating this weakness to make sure it won't be too much of a problem as it used to be ever since he has received his power for me."

Origami remained worried for Y/N, wrapping her arm around her boyfriend as she kept looking up at All For One, "You couldn't have done this less painfully?"

All For One shook his head, "There's no other way of doing this Jakuzure. Y/N has to endure it."

"I-It's okay Origami." Y/N told his girlfriend, feeling his pain growing smaller as he looked up at her, "I'm fine now."

Origami remained worried for him, "Are you sure?"

Y/N nodded in confirmation, "Yeah. I'm sure. I'll need a few minutes and I'll act as if this didn't happen."

Origami nodded at him, even though she remained uncertain about it, "Alright."

All For One kept looking down at Y/N and Origami, "See, Jakuzure? I told you he'll be fine."

Y/N slowly looked up at him, "What about Tomura-kun?"

"What about him?" All For One asked in return.

"With you now back and all, can he wake up?" Y/N voiced his question to him. Everyone could see how much he wanted to talk with Shigaraki and how close he was close to begging in his tone, "Can I please have a conversation with him? Please?

All For One shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't happen now Y/N."

"But..." Y/N began to say.

All For One quickly cut him off, "Just like I told you earlier. Tomura needs to rest after everything and I'm certain you wouldn't want to interrupt him in his rest now would you? You'll have your conversation with him. Just be patient. You know I would never lie to you. Right?"

Y/N let out an exhale, lowering his gaze to the ground, "...Fine. What will we do now?"

All For One grinned, "Just like I said. With everyone else occupied with handling the chaos we have created all over Japan, it's time to regroup with everyone and prepare for our next move. By the time we'll be ready, they'll be completely helpless and will be unable to stop us. Once we'll be done with them, I'll become the greatest demon lord this world has even known."

Hi there! I'm back after a month break and here we are with the first part of the aftermath of the PLF War (We have two more parts of it left until we'll fully enter the Dark Deku arc). After doing the two chapters a month thing for almost two years, I felt like I needed it to rest from this story a bit (especially from the War arc). This break helped me collect some of my ideas for both this arc and the Final War arc as well.

Before any of you ask me about the hero side of things, it will be shown and it will be a separate chapter as I already said the aftermath will consist of three chapters. Originally the stuff I had planned for the hero side of things was supposed to be placed in this chapter. But after seeing all the stuff I had planned for it, I decided to make it it's own chapter as I have enough content for it to be it's own chapter.

I've been playing Persona 3 Reload for the past two weeks and I love it.

Finally watched Jujutsu Kaisen and I loved it. Now I can understand all the references to Geto and Gojo some of you made in the comments when it comes to Y/N and Izuku and watching the show made me appreciate them more.

Saw Kung Fu Panda 4 and my opinion on this movie in the same as everyone else's. It was mid. The main villain was meh and Tai Lung's redemption came off as stale (the fact that they didn't have him interact with Shifu is a crime). The best parts about this movie were Po's dads. If the movie was just about them and their antics, then it would be much better.

The trailer for season 7 came out and it left me excited for the new season. Can't believe we're only one month away from the premiere of season 7. Can't wait to see all the stuff from the Final War animated. The opening sounded awesome as well.

Saw the preview for the movie and I liked it. The movie looks interesting. Dark Might looks like an interesting character as well and it will be interesting to see the next villain inspired by All Might after Stain. Looking forward to see the stuff they will do with him and all the stuff we will see in this movie.

Saw the stuff for the 419 chapter and holy shit. I don't even know how to comment all of this and the reveals we have gotten in this chapter. All of it it's just mindblowing. It's just made Shigaraki's character way more tragic. He never had a chance for a normal life. But at the same time it gave me some interesting ideas how this confrontation will play out in Villain Aren't Born as there was something I considered to happen for a long time and it heavily made me lean into doing it.

Y/N's second Quirk: Adrenaline Rush.

It increases the adrenaline of it's user whenever they desire and it's user can use it for various things such as distracting them from pain when they're feeling it.
