Crimextar06: None for All is a fun concept, but at the very least Eri has a quirk that clearly violates the world's logic (so would be a quirk that can resurrect dead people, and no, Rabbit doesn't have that) without altering others' quirks. Wait for the reveal, it won't take that long :V
DeadlyDepression: Well, I certainly did laugh my ass off while writing it. I hope you'll find the result satisfactory :P
SSJ-Jolt: Yes, scantily-clad women are great benefit to man's self-esteem. The problem is, Toxicity damages people on touch, someone might accidentally bounce into her, so she is wears a very covering clothes. :/ How sad.
BlackVacuum: I'm not fully buying that reveal tbh, we might discover in one or two more chapters that there are two invisible girls, or that she is blackmailed/brainwashed/something else. (Un)fortunately, this story was fully written before that reveal (and before Stars and Stripes existed, which will be kinda important I guess near the end of the story), so it won't be mentioned.

"Could you repeat what you just said to me, but this time be slightly more generous with details?" Midoriya Izuku asked. It was early morning, he was planning to wake up Rabbit in a while to start the internships and then… this happened.
His brain, however honed it was with all the planning, quirk analysis, scheming and so on, simply refused to unpack the last words he heard. It was too much.
"We want to marry." Tenko Shimura, living weapon of mass destruction, fanatic gamer and the most asocial person Izuku knew (oh and possibly a sociopath/psychopath/whatever else) said with a wide and happy smile. He was standing in front of Izuku in the Legion's office… with Awoo.
They were holding hands.
THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS!
Sure, Tenko was wearing his artist gloves to not decay anything accidentally, but… even with them, he tried his best not to touch anyone. At least, anyone from the League.
"Because she has the most beautiful smile and I want to do my best to protect it." Tenko continues, blissfully unaware of just how WRONG those words sound coming from his mouth. Izuku saw him laughing while he decayed almost a hundred of people into dust! "But I can't do it legally. Because we are villains. So I want you to just announce it. Make it official at least within the guild. You are the guildmaster, yes?"
Izuku began to suspect that Rabbit awoke some powerful insanity quirk because honestly this was the only reasonable explanation for Tenko saying THOSE words. With a face of someone so utterly lovestruck.
"Err… Are you alright with that?" He said towards Awoo. He lowkey expected Tenko to have just kidnapped the girl. He also expected her to answer only with a shake or a nod of her head, due to how silent she supposedly was.
"Y...yes." She said quietly, doing her best to look him in the eyes. "V...very much."
Tenko beamed even more. Izuku was even more lost. Perhaps Rabbit has some form of transdimensional quirk and sent Legion to another universe? Maybe when Izuku hugged him? They might have switched universes with their local equivalents at that moment.
"Don't you know each other for like… ten hours or something?" They nod. Tenko fervently, Awoo slightly. "Okay, so can you tell me what exactly happened? Because, honestly, this DID come out of the blue."
"Oh, ok." Tenko replies. He seems confused with Izuku's confusion. "I was playing a videogame during the night. Awoo came. She was beautiful so I told her that. She was shocked, and asked me what part of her is beautiful. So I listed them all. Her ears and a tail that are fluffy and pretty. Her eyes that are so different and I like to look at them because of that. Her mouth that has all those fangs that can kill people in many different ways. Plus how silently she could walk around, she is really sneaky! She smiled a bit, and I added her smile to the list." His head tilts a bit, and there is a bit of confusion on his face. "She was surprised, and said she didn't smile."
Izuku remembers Awoo's acute problems considering her disfigurement. Tenko Shimura managed to - with his manchildish inability and unwillingness to lie that somehow was enough to make him appear genuine - hit all the buttons to make her fall in love. Somehow. Beginner's luck?
It was like a commander of an army besieging a city coming to negotiate, accidentally walking through an unmarked minefield and managing to (on an accident, once again) persuade the besieged that he is a god in flesh and making them promptly surrender unconditionally before his divine might. And then walking away, through that very same minefield again, further establishing the impression.
Awoo is practically melting next to him when she hears the words repeated in front of someone else. She would hide her face with her hands if one of them wasn't occupied by Tenko, but she is still doing her best. Despite that, it's obvious that she is very, very red.
"Then it turned out that she can play video games!" Tenko says with an even wider smile. "And she is good at them! She sneaked into the living room in the night to play alone. But she won't have to anymore." He doesn't specify if he means sneaking or playing alone. Probably both things. "We played for a few hours. Talked. About how we were both abandoned early. I want to dust the people that did all that to her. She is so beautiful now, so she had to be even more beautiful before!" Awoo suddenly gets even more red. Izuku didn't think that it was possible.
TOO PRECIOUS, THIS IS TOO PRECIOUS!
Izuku is on the verge of dying from a sugar overdose. It's like spending too much time with Eri. This is lethal! TOO LETHAL!
"Then we… uhm…" Tenko Shimura, the man who dusted two digit number of people twice, and laughed while doing so, actually blushes. His face matches hers in color. Izuku suddenly understands that somehow, his asocial brother has actually beat him to at least a certain thing, and this is atrocious considering how long he has a girlfriend. "This morning I decided that I want to stay with her for the rest of my life. And she said that she wanted it too. So we came here."
Midoriya Izuku decides that he isn't paid enough to deal with it. He has issues figuring out his own love life. This is just so much beyond his pay grade. And he can't even talk with Lemillion without betraying that the League got new members!
"Alright, so… Tenko Shimura and, uhm…" He says and looks at Awoo.
"S...Suto." She says faintly. "Suto Shimura."
She already gave up her surname. That was fast, Izuku decides. Then again they literally decided to marry and spend their life together a few hours after meeting and…
He sighs. If they are so much into it…maybe Tenko will mature on the inside a bit?
"Well then, you can't exactly do it legally, so… I guess if you want it, then you can have it? You are married then."
Tenko almost jumps in happiness. Awoo actually does it. Then they spontaneously kiss. In his office. Only the lack of windows stops Legion from jumping through one.

SmallMight: ATTENTION
SmallMight: Today is the day when we all make fun of Insomniac for his greatest and most failed of jokes.
SmallMight: Unless what just happened is (actually) a form of illusion quirk or something else that I was hit with.
SmallMight: I still have issues with believing in what I just saw.
Insomniac: what
VampirePrincess: ?
CatProvider: What is this time?
SneakyGecko: Huh?
SmallMight: Insomniac wanted Awoo (that wolfgirl from Kurogiri's school) to join the Vanguard because she was a wolfgirl and Decay is into girls with animal ears apparently
SneakyGecko: Hey that's both an asshole and quirkist move
Insomniac: she has skills and Kurogiri had nowhere else to send her!
Insomniac: that was just a side thing, I'd have taken her either way
Insomniac: also I get now why Tenko is excluded from this convo
Insomniac: so HandyMan and Awoo finally run into each other? And I missed it?
SmallMight: how little you know little man
Insomniac: he was probably super startled, hmm?
SmallMight: you know nothing Hitoshi Shinsou
VampirePrincess: c'mon talk to us
Vantablack: yeah, I get the feeling it's going to be big
SmallMight: They met yesterday very late evening (after everyone else went to sleep), when Awoo sneaked out of her room and went to the living one
SmallMight: then things escalated
Insomniac: how much
SmallMight: Enough for Tenko to come to my office at 8am with Awoo in tow, both of them officially informing me that they want to marry each other. Which they did. Awoo's real name is now Suto Shimura, and Tenko informed me that she 'has the most beautiful smile and he wants to do his best to protect it'. That's an exact quote.
Insomniac: what the fuck
VampirePrincess: I MISSED A WEDDING?! I WANTED TO BE A FLOWER GIRL
CatProvider: Excuse me, but WHAT?!
VampirePrincess: wait… TENKO GOT MARRIED?! To a 3D girl?!
Vantablack: Oh my God.
SneakyGecko: COMPLEX MUTANT QUIRK TEAM SCORES ANOTHER WELL-DESERVED VICTORY
BurnBurnBurn: … My brain refuses to understand the words in front of me.
SmallMight: welcome to my world, BurnBurnBurn
SmallMight: THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS
SmallMight: THEY WENT FOR A KISS WHEN I SAID THAT THEY ARE NOW MARRIED
SmallMight: TENKO SHIMURA THE EMOTIONLESS MURDER MACHINE WAS BLUSHING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL ALMOST ALL THE TIME
SmallMight: I still suspect that it might be some insanity quirk because holy shit
Insomniac: what the fuck
Insomniac: normies
Insomniac: all for you
SmallMight: Should Kurogiri look for a catgirl for you?
Insomniac: none of you are free of sin I'm leaving
Insomniac: why is everyone so silent
SmallMight: I think Tenko is having unexpected guests, give them a moment

"Errr… you called for me." Rabbit is deeply worried, because he heard some people running around the building shouting earlier. But he expected some explosions and so on if the heroes found them, so he decided that it wasn't this.
"Oh yes, great!" Legion smiles widely and vibrantly. He is doing something on a computer on his desk, but there are also some papers spread around. "We had a bit of an… interesting morning, so the start of your internship was a bit delayed."
Rabbit weighs the feeling of danger and his growing curiosity.
"W… what happened?" Curiosity wins. Legion points him towards a chair right next to him.
"Awoo met Decay yesterday evening." Legion replies. "Love at first sight. They announced that they are getting married this morning." Rabbit stares at the supervillain in shock. "I don't understand what happened either."
Awoo is going to get married? Didn't that require her to… er… say yes? At the very least. She never spoke. Kurogiri mentioned that she could, but…
Wow.
"Well, I'm going to… introduce you to my current little project." Legion announces when Rabbit calms down a bit. "I'm planning something quite big, and I believe that you'll benefit greatly from taking part in it. Besides, I like the idea of having someone to narrate the whole thing to. I expect feedback from you, if possible."
Rabbit can do that. But before he has the time to, the door to Legion's office opens wide. He is startled. It's a girl with golden hair.
"Izuku!" She shouts. "I have an announcement!" Rabbit flinches in his seat, he was thoroughly spooked by the sudden arrival.
"Errr… what is it, Himi? I'm a bit busy." Legion replies. "Also please don't scare my assistant, he is a bit… jumpy." Legion is wrong. Rabbit is very jumpy. Not just a bit.
"Oh, that's the Rabbit I heard of?" The girl replies and looks quizzically at Rabbit. "Did your dad have another child with some black haired woman? He looks like you, but smaller."
Rabbit is confused. How is he similar to Legion? Legion is so confident, and powerful and dangerous, and he is just Rabbit. Small and timid.
"You know I'm starting to wonder about that myself?" Legion answers with a question and Rabbit is even more confused. "Now, what was it that you wanted to announce?"
"We are getting married!" Himiko Toga (Rabbit recognized her finally) announces with a wide smile.
"Err.. When?" Legion appears to be as confused as Rabbit. Who in the meantime asks himself if you should get confused by the idea of getting married with someone.
"Right now? I mean, like Tenko did?" Himiko replies. "We can have a party later. Also I'm taking your surname because it's lovely, and mine reminds me of my parents and they sucked." Rabbit can relate to the last bit. "And yours are awesome." Rabbit can no longer relate.
"Oh… okay?" Legion replies, clearly taken aback with what just happened.
"Awesome, bye!" Vampire says and disappears from the room.
Legion stares at the now closed door for a few long seconds before finally speaking.
"What the hell is wrong with this day?!" Rabbit is slightly reassured by not being the most confused person in the room. "Alright, let's move to the internship before something even weirder happens."
Rabbit is alright with that.
(***)
Legion: I have an announcement.
Mischief: Is it important?
Legion: very.
Mischief: Then why not say it in person?
Legion: I'd visit you officially, but I'm currently too swamped with work (something VERY big coming)
Mischief: I understand! And I'm sure you'll do great.
Mischief: I'm listening then, Izu.
Legion: I just got married.
Legion: It's been ten minutes, did you stop crying?
Mischief: Yes.
Mischief: I expected to be invited to your wedding, Izuku.
Legion: I almost wasn't invited myself.
Legion: Another League member met a girl and married her within the span of 10 hours.
Legion: Himiko was inspired by it, so she entered my office, yelled at me that we're getting married right now and we'll make a party over it later, and then she left after I said yes.
Mischief: Ten hours?!
Legion: They aren't exactly… uhm… normal. In every sense of the word.
Legion: So Himiko Toga is now Himiko Midoriya.
Legion: Did you stop crying?
Mischief: Yes.
Mischief: I'm so happy for you both.
Legion: Also
Legion: Are you interested in adopting another child?
Mischief: What brought that in?
Legion: You helped Kurogiri with his school, do you remember smol boy with black hair and obvious severe anxiety?
Mischief: Oh, that one. I always left him the biggest portion of my food, he really needs to eat more. I think the meds Kurogiri got him made him much less anxious, and he is a very good student.
Mischief: Resembles you a lot, actually. Mostly the hair. And freckles.
Mischief: What about him?
Legion: He enjoys analyzing quirks, is a late-bloomer, and is a material for a criminal mastermind to equal me. Also he was bullied in school, so he destroyed it by a combination of secret surveillance, unleashing compromising pics on the internet, and some explosives and flammable materials. Without having to use a quirk. He even escaped a pro hero that came to arrest him!
Mischief: I'm going to have a serious talk with your father.
Legion: At least wait for the DNA test results before you murder him, don't make Eri sad.
Legion: But yes, he is almost second me, with less quirks and more anxiety.
Legion: And I really think that he would benefit from having even remotely reasonable parents for once.
Legion: Although making him NOT die from fright after seeing dad might be an achievement.
Legion: He looked like he was about to jump through the window (despite the lack of these in my secret hideout) when Himiko opened the doors too quickly.
Legion: … are you crying again? you've been silent for a few minutes
Mischief: No, I'm preparing dinner.
Legion: Are your tears a cooking ingredient?
Mischief: Don't get sassy with me, Izuku.
Legion: sorry mom
Mischief: I was thinking about having another child, actually. I'm still reasonably young (well, reasonably young again), and your father might benefit from someone else to pamper (he is a bit too… Eri-centric ever since you stopped being around so often).
Mischief: But I'm not sure if he would agree.
Legion: … tell him that Rabbit has a dormant Class-Six quirk, like Eri. And the two of us.
Mischief: My worries have been successfully dispelled.
Mischief: I'm still having those DNA tests done.

Akatani Mikumo: Can you do something for me
Mirio Togata: no
Akatani Mikumo: it's not illegal
Mirio Togata: still no but this time with a field for negotiation
Akatani Mikumo: Vampire wants to know if there is a way to change her wanted posters from Himiko Toga to Himiko Midoriya
Mirio Togata: …
Mirio Togata: you got married?
Akatani Mikumo: Yes
Mirio Togata: Congratulations! What address do I need to send my gift to?
Akatani Mikumo: Is your gift a brigade of high ranked heroes to arrest me?
Mirio Togata: yes
Akatani Mikumo: I'm hiding in the Hero Commission's president office
Mirio Togata: there is certainly a villain hiding there, but most likely not you
Mirio Togata: also congratulations, this time for real
Mirio Togata: I was kinda wondering how long will that take you
Mirio Togata: what about the harem thing
Akatani Mikumo: The chat is still booming with activity, but the matter seems to be dead outside of it
Akatani Mikumo: which is reasonably alright but I'm still expecting a trap
Akatani Mikumo: Also can you open a second chat with me and invite Sir Nighteye to it
Mirio Togata: …
Mirio Togata: please explain
Akatani Mikumo: I have intel to share and I'm NOT visiting UA for it, plus I can't exactly keep phoning Eraserhead whenever I have something for Nedzu
Akatani Mikumo: I'm 99% sure that Aizawa's hunt for me is powered by spite for phoning him during the nap
Akatani Mikumo: If I do that too many times, he'll probably have a quirk awakening and start deactivating quirks by seeing people's images on the internet or smth
Mirio Togata: I'm going to do that but please don't make me regret that
(***)
Mirio Togata: Is this line secure?
Mirai Sasaki: Unless you want to send nuclear launch codes or UA's bank account password, yes. Why do you ask?
Mirio Togata added Akatani Mikumo to the conversation!
Mirai Sasaki: Oh.
Akatani Mikumo: Hello there, Sir Nighteye!
Mirai Sasaki: My migraine made manifest is here.
Mirai Sasaki: What is it about?
Akatani Mikumo: I have something for you and for Nedzu.
Akatani Mikumo: I'm also going to call in a favour Mirio promised me.
Mirai Sasaki: What?
Mirio Togata: What?
Akatani Mikumo: Do you remember the Zealot promise, Mirio?
Mirio Togata: OH
Mirio Togata: That one.
Mirai Sasaki: I'm getting increasingly worried.
Akatani Mikumo: No need for that.
Akatani Mikumo: Mirio was impressed with Zealot's last fight, and said that if I find two CRC bases I should tell him about one so that he can arrest everyone inside as a form of a tribute to the guy that died saving lots of kids.
Mirai Sasaki: That certainly lessened my worry.
Mirio Togata: A bit of a heat of the moment thing, but I think I speak for us all when I say that intel like that is useful.
Mirai Sasaki: Yes. What sort of base are we talking about?
Akatani Mikumo: All of them.
Mirai Sasaki: What?
Akatani Mikumo: After joining us, Zealot gave me some notes and a few contacts that could be… recruitable.
Akatani Mikumo: Few days ago I finally got a spy in Purity's inner circle.
Akatani Mikumo: I have the location of no less than seventeen notable facilities of the CRC, including the High Cathedral, the Purity's personal citadel.
Akatani Mikumo: But we're on the time limit here and I need heroes' help to confirm the intel and dismantle the CRC entirely while we still can.
Mirai Sasaki: Time limit?
Akatani Mikumo: I began my investigation of the High Cathedral two days ago. Yesterday Gremlin's recon drone spotted a group of clanners training a group combat alongside the noumus.
Mirai Sasaki: Oh, well that's not good at all.
Mirio Togata: Purity joined the Paranormal Liberation Front?!
Akatani Mikumo: According to my informant, not yet. But the PLF provided the noumus as the proof of concept of what it can do. The informant really doesn't like complex mutant quirkers, but had a lot of issues with the CRC for a while now, and Purity considering an alliance with someone creating abominations like the noumus was the last straw.
Akatani Mikumo: We have ten days before the CRC and the PLF will have the final round of negotiations, and when that happens, the CRC will provide their base coordinates to the PLF's warper.
Akatani Mikumo: When that happens, we can expect Overhaul interrupting any attack on their allies with his forces and the noumus, or them just evacuating the CRC into wherever they are hiding.
Mirai Sasaki: But now we can potentially annihilate one of the largest terror groups in the country, if we act fast. While denying PLF a powerful ally.
Mirai Sasaki: I understand and support it fully.
Mirai Sasaki: What can you give us?
Akatani Mikumo: As I said, I can't investigate the whole thing within the allotted time frame, and I'm not going to launch a full-scale assault without being certain that the intel is true. Overhaul is… painfully smart. And this could be a deception.
Akatani Mikumo: UA and its present allies have access to much more specialist investigators and heroes good with quirk espionage. So I plan to give you what I have about all seventeen bases, to confirm the intel within the next eight days. We attack on the ninth day.
Mirai Sasaki: To make sure that we won't miss Purity, due to her negotiating elsewhere. So the day before the deadline?
Akatani Mikumo: Correct
Mirai Sasaki: I see. Continue.
Akatani Mikumo: I promised Zealot that I would see Purity dead, and I'm not budging on that. High Cathedral will be attacked by the League of Villains. But we can't exactly announce to the world that we're working together. So if you agree… Any ideas how to pull that off?
Mirai Sasaki: Shouldn't be a problem. We'll send a proper assault group to the High Cathedral, but it will be late. If you'll be in the shape for that, we might stage a brief skirmish before you escape.
Akatani Mikumo: Not going to try to arrest us for real?
Mirai Sasaki: I'm going to arrest you for real. But after the Paranormal Liberation Front gets destroyed.
Mirai Sasaki: I disagree with your very existence, and knowledge about your true quirk makes me extremely worried about the future. But I do agree with you, Mirio and Nedzu that right now Overhaul and Garaki are a much bigger threat. And that the UA in its current, weakened state, has manpower and resources to wage a single war with reasonable chances of victory.
Mirai Sasaki: I'm not going to start a war on two fronts when I know that I can't win it.
Akatani Mikumo: I absolutely love working with intelligent people, you know?
Akatani Mikumo: In 20 minutes I'll have someone leave an envelope with a pendrive filled with data in front of your agency.
Akatani Mikumo: Good hunting!

Amaya Nemuri: I made the decision.
Akatani Mikumo: ?
Amaya Nemuri: sorry, but… I just can't
Amaya Nemuri: I support your goals, wholeheartedly
Amaya Nemuri: but I can't imagine actually killing people anymore
Amaya Nemuri: No anger left. No spite left. Just… emptiness.
Amaya Nemuri: I can barely understand what made me so… free to do that earlier
Akatani Mikumo: that's unfortunate, Musty
Akatani Mikumo: everyone will miss you dearly
Amaya Nemuri: I know sorry
Akatani Mikumo: don't apologize, you have nothing to apologize for
Akatani Mikumo: if anything, I messed up
Akatani Mikumo: Spend too much time on prepping to get your wish granted
Akatani Mikumo: And I run out of time
Amaya Nemuri: we run out of time
Akatani Mikumo: what now?
Amaya Nemuri: I don't know
Amaya Nemuri: I think about moving elsewhere
Amaya Nemuri: it's… too complicated to stay here
Akatani Mikumo: How's your english? You are an honour student, so…
Amaya Nemuri: very well, why do you ask?
Akatani Mikumo: Dad has a company with some contacts here and there. He can get you settled overseas, somewhere where the past will never catch up with you
Akatani Mikumo: In US, under false identity, with a place in decent school and some scholarship to help you settle in
Amaya Nemuri: He'll do it for me?
Akatani Mikumo: musty, you are my friend, almost an adopted cousin
Akatani Mikumo: I'm willing to ask him, and he does things when I ask him for
Akatani Mikumo: he can even throw in some quirk usage that will make you face appear different and even mess up with any DNA test on you - he will make it so that even when the japanese police will connect the dots, they will never find Amaya Nemuri
Akatani Mikumo: Hell, if you ask him he can take your quirk and replace it with something else, you could even become a hero like that, no one would ever knew
Amaya Nemuri: I think I'll like that. The camouflage.
Amaya Nemuri: I need to think about the latter, I'm not sure if I'm a hero material (probably not)
Akatani Mikumo: You could be one better than her, I'm sure. The people you killed were monsters. But that's on you
Amaya Nemuri: yeah
Amaya Nemuri: I'll still follow the news on you, for the record
Amaya Nemuri: and cheer for you
Amaya Nemuri: I hope nothing bad happens to you all, I just… shit
Akatani Mikumo: Don't worry
Akatani Mikumo: We'll do great
Akatani Mikumo: unless those damn problem children will make me die first
Amaya Nemuri: What happened?
Akatani Mikumo: Tenko got married
Amaya Nemuri: in some mmo?
Akatani Mikumo: no, rl. got a new recruit, ten hours later they walked into my office holding hands and told me to make their marriage official
Akatani Mikumo: i'm so fucking done with that all
Amaya Nemuri: holy hell
Akatani Mikumo: I relate to Eraserhead so much
Amaya Nemuri: yeah I can imagine
Akatani Mikumo: and then Himiko opened my office doom wide, shouted that we're getting married and she is taking my surname, and then she left
Amaya Nemuri: that sounds like a very himiko thing to do
Akatani Mikumo: yeah xD
Akatani Mikumo: I actually asked dad about you know what earlier (just in case), so it's going to be prepared by tomorrow. Don't return to the Villain Network. Pack your stuff up tonight and write goodbye letters to whoever you want. Kurogiri will come pick you up at noon (he will probably want to say his goodbyes in person, you know how fatherly he is to us all), he'll warp you where you are supposed to be and bring your letters to the League
Amaya Nemuri: will do
Amaya Nemuri: izuku
Akatani Mikumo: yeah?
Amaya Nemuri: thank you for everything
Akatani Mikumo: sorry for not granting you your wish in time
(***)
Sorry for those of you who liked Mustard, I need to give the League at least some casualties one way or another or it they would get off too easily. Zealot and Mustard, you'll be missed.
Or... is that not the end? Well, you'll need to wait to see it.
