In a small dirty room a guy, named Bubaigawara, smokes out his window.

Bubaigawara muttered, "Having a good sense of who you are is one of the most important things in life. Look at all those happy people on their way to work. Makes me sick."

Twice in his head responds, "Nah. They're freakin' great."

Bubaigawara mutters, "They think they're such good, decent citizens." He blows out a puff of smoke before muttering again, "And what about me? I'm doin' the same thing I do every day."

Twice says in his head, "You're doing something special!"

Bubaigawara mutters, "I'm starin' out my window and people watching while having my morning cigarette."

Twice laughs and says, "Then the fun begins."

Bubaigawara looking out his window again mutters, "Two weeks since All Might fought All For One in Kamino Ward, and then retired. It's the only thing anyone's talking about. Media's tryin' to scare people by stirring up unease."

On the small TV a guy on the news says, "However, despite All Might's retirement, we haven't seen many big changes in everyday life. We should be looking ahead of all this. This is a time to investigate. How will villains act and what are your countermeasures."

Bubaigawara continues muttering, "You're different, though, Mr. Miyagi. I approve of you."

Twice says, "Gross, I don't."

Miyagi continues on the TV, "The fact of the matter is that All Might simply got too big. He was such an all-encompassing symbol that his existence was an impossibility."

Bubaigawara mutters, "The biggest chance for regular folks is the new number one. Endeavor. Not quite the same as All Might. So the public is focusing their fear on him. Waiting to see how he'll act. Not surprising. He's not the type that everyone loves."

A businessman on the TV behind Bubaigawara says, "It's not that I don't like Endeavor, I just can't help but compare him to All Might. And, you know, that's kind of a lot for any hero to live up to, right?"

Bubaigawara having turned slightly to the TV mutters, "Yeah, he's not really a cuddly person. More like an average guy pretending to play the hero."

Twice says in Bubaigawara's head, "He is a superhero!"

Bubaigawara continues muttering, "Through circumstances beyond his control, he's inherited a role that he's totally unsuited for. Poor bastard. Now he's a symbol of the weakening heroes."

Miyagi on the TV says, "Although Endeavor has resolved a number of large cases, he's got a temper and has gone overboard many times. Also, we polled males between the ages of 20 and 40. They do not like him. He's just no replacement. This is a prime example of why those of us in the media should stop reporting negatively about pro heroes and actively raise excitement for them. Instead of focusing on the problems we're facing, we should see how we can highlight the positives."

Bubaigawara puts his cigarette out and turns off the TV and while getting dressed he mutters, "The man knows what he's talkin' about. Physical power isn't the only thing that weakens. The heart does as well."

Twice in his head says, "Nah, it's all about power."

Bubaigawara gripping his head says, "Shut up! Leave me alone." Bubaigawara walks down the street muttering quietly to himself, "'I am here'. That's what he said when he saved people's lives. For any regular Joe, that was reassuring. But for people like me, it was nothing short of a curse."

A villain runs through a store window laughing and says, "Holy crap. That was too easy! And ain't nobody gonna stop me now." He goes running down the street laughing.

Bubaigawara mutters watching, "Villains. Only faithful to themselves. This is the future now that he's gone."

The store manager runs out saying, "Oh, come on. Give me a break for once. Hey, help me! Somebody stop him!"

Bubaigawara continuing to watch mutters, "I get it. Crime is tempting for those who don't know what else to do with their Quirks. That part will play out as usual."

A hero kneels in front of the villain with the store's counter and says, "Ya'r through, villain. Your life of crime ends here!"

Bubaigawara mutters, "But this part is gonna be slightly different."

All the sudden a villain comes from behind and hits the hero with a metal rod in the head making him fall to the ground with a groan. The villain runs saying to the other villain with the counter, "Yellow, hurry up!"

Another villain cackles and says, "Look at this idiot. He brought the whole counter!"

A villain cackles and says, "Too bad for you, hero."

Another says, "He's not some two-bit robber. We're a team."

The one from before says, "Yeah!"

The villains say together, "You're facing the Reservoir Dogs!"

The one who hit him says, "Don't you forget the name."

They go screeching with their truck away with the counter.

Bubaigawara mutters, "Not as scary to cross on a red light if everyone else is doin' it, too. Those who're teamin' up and getting coordinated are starting to get some traction. The thing is, we're looking for people who are a little more..."

His phone starts ringing.

Bubaigawara pulls it out pushing and button and says, "What's up, Giran? How you been doin' lately?"

Giran on the other end says, "Long time no talk. I trust that you've been all right."

Bubaigawara says, "Hard to say. I don't know how to tell if I'm doin' good or not."

Giran laughs and says, "I see, that is a tough break."

Bubaigawara says, "You didn't answer my question. Are you okay? Tell me."

Giran turns in his chair and says, "Yeah, sure I am. I've been so busy I'm crying with delight. These past few weeks, there's been a monumental surge in the black market. Everyone's looking for suits or support items. Demand couldn't be any better, my friend. And, of course, the League of Villains are the darlings of the hour."

Bubaigawara says, "Well, that's nice to hear."

His second voice, Twice says, "No, it's not."

Bubaigawara gets mad and screams, "Shut up! Dammit. So? Why are you calling me? I'm a busy man, you know."

Twice says coming out again, "I've got nothin' to do."

Giran says, "I couldn't get ahold of Dabi. Any idea where he is? Shigaraki wants everyone to have a quick meetup. I'm sure he'll be contacting you soon."

Twice says, "I know where he is."

Bubaigawara putting a hand on his face says, "No, I don't. You can't keep pullin' this crap."

Giran says, "Right. Okay, then. Caught you at a bad time. Take care of yourself, huh?"

Bubaigawara leans up against a wall once off the phone saying, "Damn it. I'm me. I'm in control."

Bubaigawara mutters, "The League of Villains is currently scattered across different locations. To get the police off our backs. Hid our trails. And recruit new comrades. The goal is to make the organization even bigger."

A hoodlum villain in front of Dabi says, "What the hell are you? Your face makes me wanna puke."

Another one says, "Keep lookin' at me like that and I'll kill ya."

Dabi puts his hand forward and says, "Pity. You're not what we need." Dabi puts his blue flames out making those villains scream as they are burned alive. Dabi says, "Stay down. You make good fuel. Allow my flames to consume you."

Bubaigawara mutters, "This is no good. I need to bind myself together. I'm gonna tear apart." Bubaigawara groans and pants against the wall and says, "Split in two." He pulls a mask over his head with a gasp.

Twice mutters, "Once I'm wrapped up, I'm whole."

Rumbling starts going through causing Twice to look up and he starts walking muttering, "Here's a story. I used to be one of those guys who liked to cause trouble. My Quirk is called Twice. It's a simple power that turns one thing into two. I can make a clone of myself. And then make clones from that clone. An entire gang of just me. I made my clones do everything. I was a king ruling over them. But, the other mes weren't satisifed with that. And they put together a little coup. I was almost killed by myself. The things I make don't disappear until they've taken some serious damage. Before long, all of us were arguing with each other. Each one of us thinking we were actually the real me. This absurd self-mutilation continued for nine days. Can you imagine that? In the end, they killed each other. And disappeared. All gone. Ever since then, I haven't been sure that I'm the real me. How could I be after all the madness? And there's no place in the world where crazy people can belong. Heroes only care about saving good citizens. But the League accepted me as I am, problems and all. And I'd like to think I'm okay with who I am, too. Now, I'm scouting people. Trying to find the ones with the same kind of crazy. We're all wackos lookin' for a place we belong."

A few people are standing in front of a big fire that it's main thing was the truck from earlier with the 4 villains. 4 other people stand in front of it likely the cause.

Chisaki says, "A bunch of capable adults got together and all they stole was a convenience store register? Heh. This big a gang, they should have shot for a loftier goal. You guys aren't well. What you need is a cure."

Kurono says on top of a traffic light, "We got the money. We should skedaddle before any heroes get here, yeah? Overhaul."

Chisaki says, "They're all sick. Every last one of them."

Twice mutters to himself while watching from around the corner, "But the biggest wackos have stopped searching for a place to belong and created their own. Both the hero side and our side have started changing in unexpected ways. Still. What's important is knowing who you truly are. What you wanna become. What you wanna do. Yes. That's very important. So. What should I do?"
