Here we go. I hope you all like this story. I took this story a different path than any of my other ones.
Shinso ran as fast as he could. The dark of the night shielding him under its infinite enclosure. He was panicking as sweat soaked his clothes and as his legs burned.
He was found out.
His former classmates caught him relaying the date of their graduation to Shigaraki. He thought he was alone, but becuase of Jiro, he was caught on the phone with the leader of the League.
"Goddamnit pick up!" He cursed as he glares at the phone. It continues rining with nobody picking up. He didn't know if it was because they were all busy or if Kaminari was jamming his signal somehow.
Shinso stops for a second next to an alley. He catches his breath.
He tries calling Shigaraki again. He breathes heavily.
"OVER THERE! I HEAR HIS BREATHING!" Shinso's eyes widen as he hears Jiro shout. He is then blinded by a massive flood light. The entire alley is illuminated in seconds.
"THERE HE IS!" Yaoyorozu shouts.
"BACK OFF!" He shouts. He turns and runs. He knew nobody would fall for the bait.
"GET BACK HERE YOU TRAITOR!" Kirishima shouts with rage as he charges behind Shinso. The normally happy teen was now angry beyond recognition.
Kirishima was going to beat Shinso to a pulp. He blamed him for the injuries that Bakugo and Todoroki gained in the fight against the PLF. He blamed him for Midoriya's disappearence. He blamed him for EVERYTHING that the League did.
The rest of Class A felt the same. They were all angry beyond words.
It also didn't help that Shinso had taken the liberty of catching Iida off guard and smashing his knee with a baseball bat before running away. Some of the class stayed to make sure that Iida was okay.
Shinso despite being tired, was still keeping up his pace.
He almost makes it out of the alley until he sees a fast shadow behind him. He looks up in horror as he sees Asui scaling and leaping across the buildings with ease. She quickly catches up.
"FU-" Shinso is cut off as Asui pounces on his back.
Shinso falls down face first, his face impacting the dirty concrete hard.
He quickly tries to get up but Asui grabs both of his arms, stands on his back, and pulls with all of her strength.
Shinso felt as if his arms were being crushed by a bulldozer.
There was a loud and audible *POP* as Asui dislocates both of his arms at the same time.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Shinso shouts at the top of his lungs.
Kirishima catches up and grabs Shinso. Tears of rage spilled down his face and past his gritted sharp teeth.
Kirishima slams his fist into Shinso's face.
Shinso instantly felt his nose break.
Another fist.
Teeth fly out of his mouth.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH! I SHOULD FUCKING KILL YOU!" Kirishima voice cracks as he lands more and more hardened fists into Shinso's face.
Shinso tries to open his mouth to reply, but a hardned fist hits his throat with the force of a truck.
Shinso struggles to breathe and gasps for air.
"NO TALKING VILLAIN!" Kirishima shouts as he goes back to his assault.
Shinso felt every single hit. Every hit felt like getting hit with a brick. Every hit that landed made the pain more intense. So intense that he couldn't bring himself to scream.
Shinso then felt something stab him in the leg.
His leg was shook to the bone as Jiro used her heartbeat. He tried to cry out but a punch from Kirishima stopped him.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! WHY SHINSO?! WE TRUSTED YOU! HE TRUSTED YOU!" Kirishima shouts as tears go down his face.
Shinso knew he was talking about Midoriya. During his time in Class A, he and Midoriya became great friends. Shinso would even go as far as calling him his best friend.
"You disgust me." Jiro's voice was laced with venom as she spit on him as she removes his jack.
Shinso's leg vibrated violently.
"YOU WERE ONE OF US!" He hears Sato roars as he rushes in. He lands a hard kick to Shinso's head.
Shinso's ears began to ring after that kick.
The muscle-bound teen then grabbed Shinso and threw him against the wall. The back of his head cracking against the brick. Sato's eyes never left Shinso's own.
Shinso felt an immense pair flare up in the back of his head. He was fairly sure his head was split open after that one.
He felt a knee slam into his stomach. Shinso instantly puked on the dirty ground.
"YOU BETRAYED US!" Sato shouts, his eye twitching.
A fist from Kirishima knocked him back to the ground.
'I have to...escape.' he thinks desperately as he tries to crawl away.
Sero caught up and wrapped his legs in tape. His legs were instantly brought together against his will as Sero tightened his tape as much as he could.
Sero, Sato, and Kirishima jumped him. Releasing their anger towards him. All of their hits were in sync, a perfect trio.
He was immobolized. His leg was messed up, both legs were restrained, his ears rung, his nose leaked blood, and he could hardly see. His vision blurry from tears and the beating he was getting.
Shinso 's eyes instantly jump up as he screams out in horror. Despite his condition the pain he felt now made him instantly alert. His eyes were nearly blinded from the bright floodlight Yaoyorozu made.
His side burned as Mina touched him. Her hands covered in corrosive acid.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHh!" Shinso's eyes were wide as the acid ate his clothes and instantly began to sizzle his flesh.
"THAT WAS FOR MIDNIGHT AND ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE YOU KILLED!" She screeches out. Her face was a mix of anger and sadness. She was openly crying and her body shook like a leaf.
"Aizawa and all of us trusted you!" Sero's fists shook.
"Why have you done this?! We were a family!" Momo's face was cold and steely. Unlike her usual nice and warm nature. She and everyone else welcomed Shinso with open arms.
Her stomach begins to fizzle as she begins creating a pair of quirk resistant handcuffs.
Another set of footsteps approaches the alleyway.
"WHERE IS HE?!" A voice shouts out. Everyone besides Shinso turns and sees clothes.
It was Hagakure.
"Right over here." Sero growls out.
Hagakure walked toward him, the boys and Mina all backing up. They were prepared to let Hagakure get her hits in before they turned in Shinso.
Hagakure stood over Shinso, looking down at him.
Shinso thought he was hallucinating. He swore he saw Hagakure's glove go into a 'thumbs up' gesture.
'What is?-'
"WARP REFRACTION!" she shouts suddenly.
Nobody had time to react as they were all blinded instantly. Hagakure used the light from the massive floodlight to blind them.
"Warp us now." Hagakure says into what appears to be an earpiece.
"Alright." A voice says on the other end.
Instantly Shinso felt bile rise in his throat. To his shock it wasn't bile. It was that warping quirk All For One used.
"THEY ARE GETTING AWAY!" he hears Jiro shout. She couldn't see but her quirk still worked well.
Shinso's world is encased in darkness.
Soon he is brought to a dimly lit room. He looks around quickly. It looked like the mansion that the League took from that cult a while back.
Shinso lets out a sigh of relief as he finally realizes he isn't in danger anymore.
"Are you okay?" He turns towards the feminine voice of Hagakure.
"H-Hagakure? You are with the league too?" He manages to say. His throat was still aching with pain but he managed to speak.
"I'm not Hagakure silly. Can't recognize your own teammates Cata?" The voice speaking wasn't Hagakure's anymore. Shinso watched as right before his very eyes, The form of Hagakure dissolved in gray goo.
What emerges is Himiko Toga with a huge blush on her face.
Shinso resists the urge to facepalm.
"Of course I did." Shinso rolls his eyes, trying to play it off.
"Noooo you thought I was the invisble chick didn't you~" She says with a giggle.
Shinso was about to retort but he groans in pain. He looks down at his ribs and still sees the acid eating away at him. It wasn't as bad, but it was still happening.
He also felt his entire body scream out as the pain finally caught up with him.
"AAAAAAHHHGG!" He shouts. Every part of him ached. The adrenaline rush was gone now and all he felt was pain.
His dislocated arms from Asui. His face and throat from Kirishima. The back of his head and gut from Sato. His legs from Sero and Jiro.
Toga instantly rushes out the room to grab supplies.
She comes back in with lots of supplies.
"Move your head to the side." She says, all joking in her tone gone.
Shinso obeys and turns his head.
"Don't worry, i'm gonna fix you up." She says, gazing deep into his eyes. Her usual joking manner gone as she begins to treat him.
Hours later.
Shinso lays down on the couch. His head wrapped in bandages, his leg in a cast and his arms layed with ice. His shirt was off as ice was on his side where he was burned with acid.
Toga lays snuggled up next to him resting. She had managed to patch him up and was exhausted after all the work. She was especially careful with his head injury.
Shinso looks down at her and a small smile goes across his face.
Despite her always annoying him, he appreciated her company. Throughout his time with the league, she was the one that warmed up to him the most. She was also very interested in his quirk.
They bounced off of each other. She had trained him with weapons, and he had used his quirk on her whenever she got too unstable or bloodthirsty.
Thanks to Shinso, her bloodlust overall had decreased significantly.
Overtime they grew closer and closer. They even got teased by other league members for being a couple(more specifically Magne, Spinner, and Compress).
When Shinso wasn't at U.A they always worked together on missions. Whether it be getting rid of rivals, or simply making sure the place was clean, the two of them became as thick as thieves.
'Shes adorable when she's sleeping.' She reminded Shinso of a cat, and he loved cats.
He pats her head softly.
In her sleep, Toga smiles and balls up next to him more. She leans into his hand and coos softly.
Shinso had to hold himself back from outright hugging her.
She was just so adorable!
If anyone saw Toga right now, nobody would think she is a dangerous, unstable, psychopath vampire serial killer.
When she woke up, he planned on making her favorite food to thank her for helping him.
Injuries be damned.
Toga was Shinso's angel. She was always there when nobody else was. During the darkest of the nights and the brightest of days.
Shinso lays his head back down, a smile on his face as he wraps his arms around the sleeping Toga.
He looks up at the ceiling, reflecting back on how he first joined the League.
Shinso was angry. Upset after the events that took place.
Not only did he lose to that green-haired shithead, but the audience turned on him. After his quirk was discovered he was hit with nothing but boos and scorn. He saw the faces of disgust on everyone, even some pro heroes.
Despite Aizawa's attempts to stop the audience, the stadium was in an uproar.
His classmates even refused to look at him. His classmates, the ones who were the first to accept him for him and not be afraid of his quirk, turned their backs on him.
He clenches his fist and holds back tears as he runs to the back. He could have sworn that someone called for him, but he didn't listen. He didn't care.
As he ran, the tears began openly pouring down his face. He doesn't bother wiping them away, he keeps running.
He went to the lockerroom and snapped. He punched lockers and dented them. He threw benches, threw chairs. He damned the world.
His dream of being a hero was dead. He heard the audience booing him and calling him a villain. Some saying he should be locked up now before he becomes one.
Shinso runs out of energy and collapses against the lockers. He puts his head between his knees and cries. The cries of the crowd bouncing in his head.
Shinso then falls into a misty purple abyss that appears right below him.
He can't scream. He was so in shock to do anything.
In an instant he lands on something. It was a stool. He quickly snaps his head and looks around. He sees a dimly lit bar.
He was confused but then his eyes bulge out in horror as he sees two occupants in the bar.
One was behind the bar. He wore a bartender outfit, yet his skin was dark and misty. He was calmly cleaning a glass, ignoring Shinso's presense.
The other was what made fear grip his heart. He wore black clothes, red shoes, and a hand on his face. He had shaggy blue hair, crusty skin, and was currently scratching his neck.
He was watching a TV that was in the corner of the bar. It played the Sports Festival.
Shinso didn't know how long he stared at him, but eventually he caught the guy's attention. A blood red eye locks onto him.
Shinso feels his body tense and lock in place. He was frozen in fear as the guy looked at him.
'Thats the creep from the USJ Incident!' he saw the picture of him, the bartender, and some giant bird monster on the news.
"Oh. You're finally here. We saw what happened out there. Kind of messed up how you get boo'ed because of your quirk." He says with a yawn as he stands up. He stretches and scratches his neck.
"I'm Tomura Shigaraki." He introduces himself.
Shinso was still too scared to do anything.
"You know its kind of rude to not introduce yourself when the other does. God does that school teach you kids anything?" Tomura throws up his arms annoyed.
Shinso didn't know what to make of this guy. He instantly felt goosebumps on his arms watching him.
"I'll let it slide because we know all about you, Hitoshi Shinso." Tomura says, sitting closer to Shinso.
Shinso looks at his skin. His throat was crusty and had scars of scratching. His nails were cracked and filthy. He is surprised the guy didn't kill himself from scratching his throat so much.
"So what do you like to drink Shinso? We got about everything here. Juice, Soda, Milk, Water, Be-"
"Why did you bring me here? What is this place?" Shinso asks, trying his best not to shake.
His plan was to brainwash them both, escape, and then get the cops to arrest them.
Tomura facepalms. Or, handpalms.
"Kurogiri you think he is gonna try to use that quirk on us?" Tomura asks, looking at the misty bartender as he sets a glass up on a rack.
"I believe so Tomura. Tread carefully when speaking to him." Kurogiri says while getting anoterh glass to wipe.
Tomura nods.
In an instant, Tomura had Shinso by the neck. Shinso had no time to react as Shigaraki was right behind him. 4 fingers on his neck. The 5th one stroking his neck, daring him to do anything.
"Listen here you little shit. I don't like your manners. First you don't introduce yourself, then you interrupt me, and now you try to trick me when i've been nothing but nice?! God I hate spoiled brats like you. Makes me want to kill you right now." Tomura says leaning closer to Shinso.
Shinso's mind goes blank as primal fear takes over.
"Listen. If you try to use that quirk on me or my associate there will be hell to pay. I will fucking murder you here and now. Nobody knows you're here. They won't know what happened to that disgusting villain child. So I recommend you play nice. Nod if you catch my drift." Tomura says, his eye twitching.
Shinso's head robotically nods. He knew that both of the guys could easily take him down. If the creep was fast enough to close the distance before he knew what happened and the portal guy could warp him to their hideout from the Sports Festival stadium where pro heroes guarded and security was beefed, he knew he stood no chance.
Tomura lets go of his neck.
He then dusts himself off and sits down.
"Now, what do you drink?" Tomura asked, the threat in his tone gone.
"Water is fine." Shinso says, trying his best to keep the shiver out of his throat.
"Alright Kurogiri, one water, and one Jack." Tomura shouts. Kurogiri nods and prepares the drinks.
"Now onto why you're here."
Tomura explains why he wants to recruit Shinso.
"I'm in." Shinso says with determination on his face.
"Really? I thought you'd say something about never wanting to be a villain?"
"Yeah well the heroes aren't doing shit to help. Everyone hates me, including my own mother. Nobody gives a shit about me so I'm in." Shinso says clenching his fist. He was still in a bad state of mind from the experience.
Tomura and Kurogiri look at each other. They both shrug. They didn't think it would be that easy.
"Alright welcome to the League kid."
"Thinking back on when you first joined the League?" Toga's voice cuts him out of his thoughts. He looks down, seeing her feline-like eyes gazing at him.
"Heh, you know me so well." He says with a smile. The two of them often shared their dreams and thoughts with each other.
Toga rolls her eyes. She then looks down on the acid burn mark, her playful and happy stare slowly getting clouded.
"Duh. Of course I know you Toshi~" Toga says, tracing her fingers on the burn mark on his side. Her face looking at it intently. She was testing to see how depe it was.
Shinso winces slightly.
Toga glares.
"I'm gonna kill that pink slut." She says with that psychotic fury, her tone instantly changing.
"Himiko no. She didn't mean it. None of them did. They were just upset because they blame me for Midnight and the whole PLF thing." Despite being with the League, he cared for 1-A. The last thing he wanted was his psychotic associate going after them.
He felt his concern jump up.
"They all jumped you and nearly beat you to death! Being upset is no excuse for nearly killing someone! Its payback time." She says determined. Her fists clenched as thought of killing them all came to mind.
"It took everything not to kill that invisible girl and the rest of them when I saw your state. I only did it because I know you didn't want me to." Toga's eyes were in their unstable stage.
"Himiko please..." Shinso says carefully. He didn't want her to do anything reckless.
"Just go to sleep Toshi, I'll be back." She says getting up and going for her cream cardigan.
"What are you going to do?" He asks, his concern at the max.
"Simple, i'm-" Toga's eyes go blank and her body goes slack.
"Go take a nap." He says, watching as her body robotically went towards her room.
Shinso sighs. He hated when she got like that and he had no choice but to brainwash her. He still loved her regardless.
Shinso's codename is 'Catatonic' because of his quirk. Hence why Toga calls him 'Cata' at the start. Besides that I hope you all enjoy. I'm sorry I didn't give details on how they met or anything but I felt that Shinso joining the League was a more interesting tale. I hope you all enjoy. Reviews are appreciated and have a good one!
