"I don't trust you. Neither does Shigaraki; he says you have to kill Best Jeanist if you want to join." Dabi told Hawks, who was terrified and trying not to show it.
"I don't see why he'd want Best Jeanist dead when Endeavor exists...I hate him even more now that I remember." Dabi said, and did not elaborate. Suddenly, Dabi's phone buzzed. He picked it up and looked at it, before blinking in confusion.
Hitoshi: so Bakugou has magic powers, and he wants to disguise himself and teleport over to you to get a good idea of the Lov's hideout
Touya: I hope this is a joke
Hitoshi: Nope.
Touya: Then tell him I'm at my apartment with Hawks
Hitoshi: He's coming anyway
"Are you texting someone?" Hawks asked.
"A sort of friend is coming over." Dabi said.
"Is he a villain?" Hawks asked. He was really getting deep into this.
"Not exactly."
Hitoshi: Oh Shouto says Fuyumi, Natsuo and your Mom all really miss you! And he's looking forward to introducing you to Zuko
Touya: Who is Zuko?
Hitoshi: Shouto's adoptive brother
Touya: they replaced me?
Hitoshi: No! Zuko was...kind of unavoidable. You, uh, remember the brother bodyswap quirk you got hit by
Touya: oh no
Hitoshi: yup he's been switching bodies with Shouto for the last ten years
Hitoshi: also he may be a) an alien b) an anime character c) from another reality
Touya: very funny
Hitoshi: no im serious
"Something wrong?" Hawks asked. He was not eager for trouble. Then, there was a flash of light, and a man appeared in the apartement. He had spiky green hair, was dressed in a fancy red suit, and had horns and four arms.
"Hey, Dabi! I'm your brother's friend." he said.
"Interesting...look." Dabi said, stressing the last word.
"Yup. The purple guy told you about my abilities, right? You can call me Lord Murder." the man said.
"I'm not calling you that." Dabi growled at the man.
"What about Ground Zero?" the man asked.
"Okay. Ground Zero. What are you DOING HERE?" Dabi yells, walking into his face.
"I'm here to introduce Hawks to the League of Villains, of course." Ground Zero says, setting one of his lower hands on Dabi's shoulder. Dabi looks at it oddly before turning back to Hawks.
"Didn't Shigaraki say I had to kill Best Jeanist?" Hawks asked, hoping it would be this easy. Ground Zero looks at Dabi.
"He said that." Dabi told his 'friend'. Ground Zero types something on his phone, which Dabi looks at.
"Are--all twenty-one on there?" he asks. All twenty-one what?
"Yup." Ground Zero says.
"What about the traitor?" Dabi asks.
"You know who it is?" Ground Zero asks, and Dabi points to something on the screen.
"That guy." Ground Zero glowers at Dabi.
"You sure?" he asks.
"One hundred percent. He called us after transmitting information." Hawks wished he knew what was going on.
"I have a recording of the video, actually." Dabi says, and passes his phone to the other, who watches something. Hawks can barely hear it, and feels left out.
"That's--that's your brother." Ground Zero says.
"What?" Dabi asks.
"The voice changes a bit after the camera is covered. That's your brother talking--wait, this was on a Tuesday." Ground Zero says. This must mean something, because Dabi jolts.
"So that's Zuko...your brother probably knows something, but we'll have to wait until next Tuesday for a clear account." Ground Zero says. Dabi hums.
"What do we do now?" he asks.
"Don't tell Hawks here about any of this. Keep figuring stuff out, and keep us updated; we're making a plan." Ground Zero says.
"A plan?" Dabi asks.
"So far, it consists of having Zuko break into the headquarters. We're...working on it." Ground Zero says, and teleports away.
Kaboom, Bastard: so we have to fake Best Jeanist's death
Fullmetal Ponytail: what why no we can't do that
Kaboom, Bastard: okay then Hawks has to
HeroShouto: you look ridiculous
Kaboom, Bastard: it's a magical glamour I can do what I want
Dekiiiiru: we need an assault team--and a plan
Kaboom, Bastard: punch All for One's face in
REDRIOT: good plan
HearMyEars: We still should get the pro-heroes involved
King of Beasts: I know! I should get a bird to bring an anonymous tip to a hero and then when they go to raid the LoV, we follow and help
Purple Cat: I approve of this plan
Purple Cat: also I'm adding Touya to the chat
(Purple Cat) has added (Touya) to CLASS 1-A GROUP CHAT
Touya: hello
HeroShouto: Hello brother.
Touya: hi
Touya: this is awkward
Spider_Tape_Man: there is a villain in the group chat is anyone concerned
Touya: I'm not a villain anymore
Touya: I only joined them because I had nothing else going for me and now I have everything.
HeroShouto: you should come over to our house tonight
HeroShouto: Mom got divorced a while ago
Touya: you're okay with that? I literally joined the League of Villains
HeroShouto: you're family.
Uraravity: it's a reunion!
Touya: You're children, you can't take down the Lov
electric_attraction: you'll help us though right?
Touya: of course.
Aizawa and Hizashi were bringing a criminal in to a police station when a bird dropped a note in front of them.
"What is it?" Tsukauchi asked.
"It's the location of the new LoV headquarters, as well as a list of members and quirks--and the fact that All for One is working on a device to steal the quirks from everyone in the world." Aizawa said, incredulously.
"It could be a trick." Hizashi pointed out. Despite that, Aizawa called All Might and multiple other heroes; a meeting was scheduled.
"We don't know who sent us this information." Nemuri, the pro-hero known as Midnight, pointed out.
"What if it's a trap?" Tensei asked. Despite the fact that he had since retired from heroism, his email was still on the main contact list, and he'd shown up for the meeting anyway. Similarly, All Might was there as well, though he was permanently stuck in his small form.
"We'll have to risk it. This amount of information is too much for us to ignore." Fat Gum said.
"We've finished our investigation on the note...and I thought I'd show you first." Tsukauchi told Aizawa, in a hallway outside the main room. The note had been typed, but one of the interns in Tsukauchi's departement, Ojiro Kazuto, had a very useful quirk.
"Postcognition. When touched the note, he was able to see the person who typed and gave it to the bird. He couldn't see how they got the information in the first place, though." Tsukauchi said.
"Doesn't matter. Who is it?" Aizawa asked.
"Kouda Koji." Tsukauchi replied. His student?
"Kouda can speak to animals...I can see him gathering all this information from doing so. I'm going to talk to him, tomorrow." Aizawa said.
"We can take down the LoV! That's awesome!" Hawks said. He'd get to stop being undercover...although he'd actually miss Dabi. Over the few weeks he'd been a part of this, he'd began to like the villain. Which was not very heroic.
"We can't just put All for One in Tartarus again." Endeavor pointed out. The other had broken out so easily it was unfair. Endeavor, the number seventeen hero, was known for often using too much force on villains; here, though, it may be necessary.
The next day at school, all the teachers were tense, as the raid was being prepared. Aizawa asked to speak with Kouda, and Bakugou, suspicious, turned invisible and followed. He loved his newly improved magic.
"Kouda, we know you sent the note." Aizawa said. He'd brought Tsukauchi, to corrobate his student's answers.
"[I was trying to help]" Kouda signed.
"How did you come across that information?" Aizawa asked. He was worried about his student. Kouda thought over his answer.
"[One of the members of the LoV is actually a good guy; he sent us the info.]" he replied.
"Which member? And who is 'us'?" Aizawa asked.
"[Dabi. The only bad thing he's ever done was the attack on the summer camp. I don't feel like I should answer the second question.]" Kouda signed.
"Dabi. How did he get into contact with you? How do you know he isn't tricking you?" Tsukauchi asked.
"[He's been friends with Shinshou for eight years.]" Kouda replied. Tsukauchi's quirk worked on sign language, and it had not alerted him once.
"Eight years? He only joined the LoV this year, why?" Aizawa asked.
"[To help the world, kill Endeavor, and get his memory back. He remembered who he was at Kamino, and that's when he realized he was wrong and started to work against the LoV.]" Kouda signed.
"Who else knows about this?" Tsukauchi asked. Kouda grimaced.
"[All of Class 1-A.]" he said.
"That means the traitor knows." Aizawa realized.

Lemillion: he died but he's okay
Eraserhead: What really happened? Bakugou, Mirio, can you please clarify?
Kaboom, Bastard: clarification is for the weak
Now-you-see-me: As evidenced by the fact that we still aren't sure whether Shouto's brother is an anime character or not
Touya: I'm not. and neither is Natsuo.
Touya: Wait. is he? Shouto help
Kaboom, Bastard: actually we all are in one reality it's called BNHA
Kaboom, Bastard: things went differently in the anime that actually happened though
Eraserhead: I'm going to assume you are speaking hypothetically.
Kaboom, Bastard: Zuko's not an anime character here he's just an alien
Eraserhead: ??????
