Second Chance
Author's Note: Hey everyone and welcome back to Second Chance! So, this chapter is ONLY the League of Villains and Shouta and Todoroki! This chapter spans over a month worth of time so it's a bit time skippy just to clear up any confusion ahead of time! So, basically, Todoroki and Aizawa have been with the League for about a month and a half throughout the entirety of this chapter.
On a side note: It seems that so far mass majority of comments are for All Might being Shouta's father in this. Which works out either way. I could go either route. Just seems like more people are for it rather than against it, but it is in the tags, so it was always a possibility. That tag has been hanging there since I started this fic.
MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS CHAPTER! This chapter does contain sexual assault! If this will trigger you, please turn around and DO NOT READ! This fic is DEAD DOVE! Please take that into account before continuing, mind the tags as well! That scene starts on "He should have known…" and if you want to skip it but continue reading, just go to the next line break! But from here on out, it does get darker than before. So, please read with caution! While the scene is not exactly descriptive, I wanted to give a far warning despite the tags.
Anyway, on with the fic!
Chapter Warnings: Mentioned Past Child Abuse, Sexual Assault/Rape
Chapter Six: A Shattered Mind: Shouta Aizawa Breaks
Chapter Summary: Tomura is brought to All for One as the elder villain instructs Tomura on what to do. Meanwhile, Aizawa starts fakes playing a pack member role. Later, All for One retrieves Aizawa again as Shigaraki solidifies their plans with Todoroki.
Tomura blinked as he stepped through the warp gate, eyes on his Master for a moment as the man smirked at him, now hooked back up to his life support machines. "Why did you call me here, Master?" Tomura stated, eyes landing on the Alpha man. Aizawa was still back in that room, still in the middle of a heat haze. Completely lost in his own instincts at that point. Shouto had woken up and even left the room. Spending more time with Dabi as Tomura watched the two getting closer with each passing minute. It was really like watching two siblings. It had surprised him when he had gotten the message from his Master that he wanted to see him. Alone.
All for One was leaning back in his chair, a smirk on his face, leg kicked over the other with his chin balanced on a closed fist. "Tomura, we have something to talk about." Tomura eyed him for a second. What could this even possibly be about? Tomura had pack to take care of. New pack members to completely recruit into the League. He couldn't do that if he was here.
The warp gate closed behind him as he hummed, moving throughout the room. "And we had to talk about this in person?"
All for One made a noise for a second, motioning for Tomura to take a seat. The young Alpha had done just that, sitting across from the man who had gave him the one saving grace that he needed. Tomura eyed him for a second as he took his seat. "This is better for your ears alone."
Tomura wasn't sure what his Master was getting at. The elder Alpha sat in his chair, that smirk never wavering as he continued to look at him with an eyeless face. "I have something to do if you haven't noticed." Tomura hissed. "How am I supposed to be recruiting Eraserhead and Shouto if you bring me here?"
All for One made a noise, clicking his tongue for a second as he drawled out, "How is Shouta's heat going?"
Tomura's gaze narrowed. "Not the best according to Shouto and Dabi." All for One's face contorted into a deeper smirk, the pleased scent radiating off of him. Tomura frowned. His Master planned for it? "You knew it would happen, didn't you?"
The elder villain shrugged, bringing his free hand up to wave it. "It's a penalty we have to face to get him to trust you."
Tomura gritted his teeth, balling his fists. "He could have died if it wasn't for Dabi knowing what the hell was happening to him. Shouto hadn't been trusting of us yet."
All for One just chuckled again, "I promise I meant him no harm."
"Don't lie, Master." Tomura shot back, "You planned for it to happen." He sighed, shaking his head, "So, why did you actually bring me here?"
"I want to talk to you about Eraserhead, Tomura." All for One purred, "I think it would be beneficial to your cause of making him pack if you… breed him." Tomura froze. The smirk that settled on his Master's face said it all. He had planned for Aizawa to be so out of it that he wouldn't even realize what was going on. It left a disgust in his stomach. He actually liked Aizawa, but he didn't want that. "I know what you're thinking, Tomura but imagine what would happen with a child from the two of you."
"Not interested." Tomura shot back immediately.
All for One actually looked shocked by his answer. His mouth dropping open for a second, "Wouldn't you want to have completely control over him? Give him every reason to need to stay by your side?" All for One questioned. "It's the best way to ensure the safety of your pack. Ensure your lineage. Think of the quirk that could come from a child bred between the two of you. The combination that could be Erasure and Decay."
Tomura could feel how hard he was pressing his teeth together as he leveled a glare on his Master. All for One kept his eyeless face on him. After hearing about Dabi and Shouto's past, he couldn't wholeheartedly do the same thing to Aizawa. That didn't fit into what he envisioned for their futures. They might be villains, but they did hold a moral code among them. There felt like there was even more to this than what All for One was letting on. Breeding Aizawa had nothing to do with destroying All Might and hero society. It felt almost useless.
"I'm not interested in doing that to him." Tomura hissed back, "I'm the leader of this, Master. I only seek your guidance. I don't have to do anything to you tell me too."
All for One chuckled. "No, you don't." After a second, he added, "If he went back pregnant, you know those heroes would either one, ensure Eraserhead's safety or two, attempt to kill the child." Tomura picked up on what All for One was getting at. They had been digging into the Hero Public Safety Commission for a while now, the coverups they were involved in. They would make it look like an accident. They would make any child that could happen between the two of them and take that all away. "Nothing is scarier than an Omega with a maternal instinct."
Tomura growled as he turned back towards where the warp gate had been, "I won't do it. I'm already starting to gain his trust. I'm not going to ruin that now." The Alpha barked for Kurogiri to open a warp gate for him so he could go home, the anger flaring through him the entire time as he stepped into it the second it opened.
He couldn't believe that his Master wanted him to do that.
He refused to ever hurt his pack. They were his pack. His family. He would do anything to see to it that they had the futures that they wanted. A world where they could do whatever they wanted without ridicule. He couldn't do it. Not what his Master wanted from him. He just couldn't.

This had to be the most taxing heat that he had ever gone through. He couldn't even explain the pain that he was actually in. The Omega's gut was twisting painfully. The slick that moved down his thighs that made it even more uncomfortable to be sitting still. His body was screaming at him, but thankfully, he didn't spike a fever in the way that he had a few days prior. The League members were in and out of the room. Only stopping to bring him something if he needed it. He was very careful of everything that he consumed. He couldn't trust it. He didn't trust them.
Even with what happened. He would place it into the back of his mind and act as if it didn't happen. To him, it didn't. Shigaraki never questioned it. Not saying a thing about it. They had been saying from day one of this nightmare that they were theirs now. That they were somehow pack.
He just wanted to go home. Get him and Todoroki out of this situation. He had lost count of the days that they had been here. The longer they were here, the higher chances that bonds neither of them wanted to be formed.
He was nearing the end of his heat now. Thankfully, and he thanked anything in this world that would listen, that nothing happened to him. At least, not that he was aware of. If anything did, he wanted to remain blissfully unaware. He didn't want to know about it.
He was alone now. Even Todoroki wasn't in the room. He wasn't sure when Todoroki had left, but it must have been during the last time that he was asleep. They had given him new clothes. It had surprised him that they were much like the clothes he always preferred to wear. Long sleeves, sweats, baggy. It was nice to say the least. He almost preferred being in the presence of these villains compared to All For One. The Omega didn't have any answers to what he had been experiencing at the hands of the sadistic villain. What he had seen. What he had gone through. It felt like it had been constant. That he had never gotten a break from it all.
It was like they were trying many different forms of torture in an attempt to get him to break. He thought he had some understanding to what they wanted from them. It seemed like it all had to do with the fact they were both Omegas. It was also a more traditional view of the "found family" packs. Having each dynamic within their ranks. Being an Omega was nothing special to him. Not like All For One was trying to make it out to be.
There was more to what they had planned. They were just keeping it tight lipped. Shouta still had to wait for his one opening. Even if it meant he had to stay here, he would get Todoroki out of here. As far as he was aware, Todoroki had yet to be abused in any type of way. They hadn't laid a hand on him. He didn't have any marks or bruises on him that would send him into overdrive. Still, just the thought of even being here was enough to keep him on edge.
He needed to get home. Get both him and Todoroki home and away from these villains. Just because they were playing nice at that moment didn't mean they didn't have any malicious or heinous intentions. There were always two sides to every coin.
So, Shouta would bide his time.
If they wanted them so badly. He would do just that. He had been in the Underground Circuit long enough that he knew how to blend in with minds like these. He knew how to think like them. He did work that no one else wanted to do.
As he began to get more clarity with the passing time, he let his mind drift to the moment he saw his mother. That had to be just a hallucination. A heat and stress induced one. His mother had died when he was five years old. She was never there. No matter how real it felt. He barely remembered her. There was also no possible way that All Might had anything to do with her death. It didn't make sense to him. His mother didn't even know All Might from what he knew. From what he was gathering, All For One was trying to get him to turn against All Might. Using All Might's name to try and make him change sides. That's all he could think of that the villains were trying to accomplish. It would make sense. Shigaraki was very vocal about his distain of All Might. Sure, Shouta didn't like how overzealous he could be. How much he was in the media or some circumstances, but it was All Might. His very existence gave people hope. Gave him hope. All Might would be able to get them out of this situation. He was the Number One Hero after all. He wouldn't just leave them here.
Right?
As much as he hated it, he would sit there and let the League do what they wanted. He was observing them as they moved around the home or whatever they were in. Toga had taken to loving to playing with his hair. Twisting it up or just brushing it. He hated how nice it felt. Reminding him of how Hizashi would brush his hair for him on days he just didn't feel like doing it.
The more lucid that he had became, the more that the League actually got more involved with him. Trying to rally around him in ways. He almost hated to admit that the more he listened in on them, the more he was seeing the hands that they got dealt with. It was something that he hadn't been expecting. Sure, he knew the world wasn't black and white. That there was always a large grey area. They didn't have to choose this path, but they did. They chose to become villains. Just like he chose to become a hero. He couldn't lose sight of that. There was a domestic type feel among them. They really did have each other's backs. It almost freaked him out just how much he could see similarities between the League of Villains and himself and his students.
He was losing track of the days. Without sunlight or a way to actually check the time, it was becoming harder to tell how long they've been here for. Was it a week? A few weeks? A month? He honestly couldn't even tell anymore. His body was no longer screaming in pain at him. Trying to get him to rest more to heal himself up.
Aizawa was hating how much comfort that he was actually receiving from the League. They had given him free range to walk around the building. Just like Todoroki was given. He was watching them whenever he finally was able to stand. He had been so sick to his stomach, even in the days following his heat that he didn't even want to get out of bed. Kurogiri and Toga typically would bring him food and something to drink. Normally, it was Kurogiri. Compress had shown him to the bathroom for him to take a shower when his heat had officially ended so he could clean his skin up.
During the worst moments, they had kept it down for him. Keeping his thighs clean the best they could while still giving him some modesty for what he was going through. Todoroki barely left his side during it. Still attempting to use himself like some sort of shield.
It was like each passing moment that it felt like everything around him was shifting. With his heat over, he had decided to take that shower. Shigaraki had came into the room with him, a towel bunched up in his arm and some clothes that he placed on the counter. "The right is the hot and the left is the cold. If you turn the hot on too much, you'll scorch yourself."
Aizawa hummed, picking at the ends of his shirt. His clothes were sticking to him uncomfortably between the mixture of sweat and slick that he had produced. The Omega exhaled sharply as he pulled his shirt off over his head. Shigaraki moved towards him, keeping his gaze away from him as he reached out, "I'll take care of your clothes."
Aizawa felt so awkward undressing in front of him, but what could he do about it? He was being held captive. It wasn't like he had a choice in the matter. There was only one person to ever see him in states like this and he wasn't here. Aizawa had subconsciously reached up, looking for the chain that he knew wasn't there. Hizashi was probably wearing himself thin by now.
"What's on your mind?" Shigaraki questioned.
Aizawa blinked, shaking his head as he hummed, "Nothing."
"You're married to that radio hero, right?" The Alpha villain questioned.
Aizawa bit down on his lip and nodded. "Yeah."
"We listen to his radio show." Shigaraki stated, leaning back against the counter as he looked away again. "He's not bad. Too much energy for me sometimes."
Aizawa felt the tug on his lips. The quirk of a smile that started as he finished pulling on his clothes and handing them over. Shigaraki only held out his arm, still not looking at him. "He's always been like that." Aizawa whispered.
"I don't know how you can deal with it. Being that you seem to hate just about anything." Shigaraki grumbled. Aizawa's eyebrow shot up as he started the water. Was Shigaraki jealous of Hizashi? "I guess what I mean is… he doesn't seem like the type of person you'd go for."
Aizawa shrugged, making a noise as he got the water to the perfect temperature. "If I'm being honest, I tend to attract loud, sunshine people. Both people I've ever fallen in love with have been like that."
His statement had brought the curiosity of Shigaraki as the Alpha did look at him. Aizawa and gotten under the spray, at this point practically uncaring that Shigaraki was looking at him as he look a seat. Letting the hot water beat down on his hair and over the sore muscles of his back and neck. "Two?"
For a split second, Oboro Shirakumo flashed before Aizawa's mind. His bright smile and the echo of hearing his name. "Yeah, but he died a long time ago." Aizawa whispered, curling a hand into his hair as he twisted some of the water out. "We were really good friends. I never did tell him, but it's because of him that I am the hero I am today." He wasn't even sure why he was telling Shigaraki all of this. He blamed the accidental bond that he created for it. Shigaraki was like a level of comfort to him now. Rather he liked it or not. "Hizashi… we got together about ten years ago."
"And you never mated him?" Shigaraki pushed on.
Aizawa shook his head, "As selfish as it sounds, I couldn't." He stated, rubbing at the gland on his arm. They were long since healed up, just merely a memory, but once he had marks from Shirakumo there. "We are pro heroes. Tomorrow is never certain… so I don't think I could take that step, not with the risk that if something happened, I would carry that bond with me for the rest of my life."
The Alpha hummed for a second, bunching up Shouta's dirty clothes in his arms. "I see." He paused for a second, "If there was something that you could have right now, what would it be?"
Shouta was thrown off by the question, but he couldn't even stop himself as he whispered, "My wedding ring."
Shigaraki made another noise with the clothes bunched up, turning away from him as he added, "Just come out whenever you're done. Kurogiri is cooking dinner." He didn't say another word as he left the room.
The Omega relaxed for a moment, leaning back against the shower wall.
He wanted to go home. He wanted Hizashi. There would be a point that he wouldn't be able to deny that he accidentally bonded to the League. He could fight it, but there was no point in the end.
X
He had completely lost track of how long they had been here. Falling in almost domestically with the League. He wanted to tell himself that he was just gathering information on them to use for later. When they finally got out of here, but there was a genuine curiosity there. He had been told about Dabi and who he actually was. It would explain the bits of white hair that he had seen during that brief moment of clarity in the middle of his heat. Dabi had already redone his hair at this point, but he had listened to Dabi as he recounted his story.
To say that he was sick to his stomach was an understatement. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He always had a feeling with Endeavor. Especially from how Todoroki would act even from the mere mention of him. He had told his suspicions to the faculty at the school, but it had been blown off. He had no proof, so his hands had been tied. There was nothing he could do. Now, he understood why there was no paper trail. The Hero Public Safety Commission had been covering it all up. Putting Endeavor's wrongdoings in seclusion so he could continue being the Number Two Hero. It felt such a sour taste in his mouth.
It also gave him an understanding to why Todoroki seemed to be so comfortable with Dabi. They held a blood bond. It was one of the most powerful bonds, but Dabi had came clean about his thoughts. His thoughts of wanting to actually murder Shouto just to get back at Endeavor before he had imprinted on him. Imprinting was a very touchy bond. It could happen completely accidental or within the blink of an eye. Though, there had to be something there for it to work. A level of care and instincts. Imprinting was always the start of an emotional bond. It's what Shouta did with his students and what led to their positions now. It was clear to him that each of these villains had imprinted on both him and Todoroki. Just from how they acted, it was obvious.
He was learning all their stories. How they ended up where they were now. Honestly, Shouta understood. He couldn't condone their actions. Why they had picked villainy, but he could understand feeling like they had no where else to go. Ending up with people just like them. Making a makeshift family. Maybe, once upon a time, they could have been heroes or law-abiding citizens. There was more out there than a life of crime. Just because they were in this situation couldn't mean that he could start agreeing with them.
Though, it felt like a blurred line. Some of the ideals they had, Shouta could actually agree with. He just didn't agree with how they wanted to make a change.
Even if it didn't feel like it, he had to keep reminding himself, he just had to stall. He couldn't let emotions get involved. When emotions got involved, it would get messy. He could already feel the strange pull to them, so he had to fight it as much as he could.
Which, they were proving to make it very difficult.
They were all doing their own thing, and Shouta had found himself curling up in one of the chairs, deciding that he didn't want to get involved with anything that they were doing. Spinner, Shigaraki, and Twice were all playing games while Dabi, Toga, and Shouto were sitting on the couch. Compress, Magne, and Kurogiri were off in the kitchen area.
It seemed fine enough. Nothing that wasn't like Heights Alliance, until he suddenly heard a shout from Toga. His attention was pulled away from watching the game that the three had been playing to see that Dabi's arm was raised in the air, holding up one of Toga's knives. Toga had barreled herself across Shouto, trying to use him as leverage to get to her knife that Dabi had. Her foot slamming into the back of Spinner's head as he held at her to stop.
"Give it back!" Toga screamed, "I'm just trying to clean it!"
"Well stop waving it around like a maniac, you crazy bitch!" Dabi shot back. "You almost stabbed Shouto just now!"
"I didn't mean to!" Toga gasped, "It's not like I want to make him bleed! Izuku would be mad at me!"
Shouta sighed, throwing his head back on the chair as he heard Kurogiri start to say, "Calm yourselves! Why must you two argue all the time?"
"He's being a brat!" Toga shot back, still struggling to try and reach it. Shouta could already feel the headache forming in the back of his head. Though, he would take this over being with All for One any day. "Just give it back, Dabi!"
"No!" Dabi retorted, the amusement in his voice as he twirled the knife in his fingers.
Shouta listened to the argument as it continued, hearing Shouto asking Toga to get off of him after a moment, but she hadn't listened. The Omega huffed, pushing himself up. He didn't have his quirk or his capture weapon to help him so instead, he walked over, snatching the knife from Dabi's hand and flinging it up at the ceiling. Watching the blade get stuck. All eyes had turned to him in shock as he hissed out, "You are giving me a headache. It's a damn knife, stop fighting over it." Without another word, he went back to his seat, kicking his legs back up. Content in the silence that had followed.
"My knife…" Toga whined.
"Well, damn." Dabi stated, "There goes my fun."
Shouto started snickering, hiding behind his hand as he leaned forward, paying attention to the game again. "You get used to it."
Shigaraki had bellowed out a laugh, throwing his head back against Shouto's legs, continuing on with his game like nothing happened.
Shouta just exhaled sharply. Why did they have to act just like his students did? Even if many of them were grown ass adults. He only peeked back up as Kurogiri walked over, holding out a drink for him. "You get used to their level of chaos. For many of them, this is all they have."
Shouta couldn't help but feel something about it. Sympathy? Empathy? Understanding? For the longest time, the only people in his life were his father and his friends. It has since expanded into more but there were very few that he let in close. He took the drink from the Warp Villain as he took a seat down next to him in another chair. "You care a lot about Shigaraki." Shouta whispered. "About them in general."
"It's my duty." Kurogiri replied. As strange as it felt like he was hearing Shirakumo. He peered up, seeing Kurogiri watching over the villains. "Life has dealt them all a bad hand, and they find solace in each other." Shouta pushed away the feeling that he had felt as he took a drink, setting the cup to the side as he let his gaze settle on the villains. Twice and Spinner were practically slamming into one another across Shigaraki's lap midgame as Shouto had fallen into conversation with Dabi. Toga was happily cleaning another one of her knives as Magne came up behind her with another drink, passing it along to her. Compress was moving around the room with a plate of food, passing it along to all of them. "Despite your concern and want to leave, you have grown compliant."
Shouta shrugged, "It's not easy to take all of them on alone." There was so much more he wanted to say. Other things he wanted to add in. Concerns that he had. He couldn't even begin to comprehend exactly what was happening to him. It felt so homey now. Especially after his heat. He couldn't find himself wanting to lash out at them anymore. He wasn't throwing himself between Shouto and the others anymore. They were proving to him that they weren't out to harm them, and he hated it. They were giving him no reason to act against them. It was like it wasn't them that wanted to bring him or Todoroki harm. All the harm that he had faced at this point had been from All for One.
He kept telling himself that it was just him stalling. That he had to wait for an opening.
But in the end, he was just lying to himself.
X
The first thing that Dabi had done after he had woken up was redo his hair. His plans would never continue to work if he allowed his naturally white hair to continue showing. It was already too soon as it was to even tell Shouto who he was. He never planned on telling him while he was here.
They had their plans they had to keep, but it was a necessary measure to get to Aizawa. Shouto was exhausted to the point that he hadn't been thinking clearly. So lost in his own instincts that he didn't realize how much danger he was leaving his teacher in.
Time is what they needed for their plans to work. It's why they were being so careful with what they were doing. They didn't need to bring any type of harm to either of them for their plans to work. While he couldn't guarantee everything that All For One planned as the man always kept many things a secret, he knew what they wanted. Just turning Aizawa and Todoroki away from hero society could be enough for bring U.A. crumbling down. Put the doubt into civilians about the heroes.
He had given Hawks everything that he needed to know to be able to keep their plans in action. If Hawks took the bait, it would be the heroes' attention on the Shie Hassaikai. It was like two birds with one stone. He was sure by now that Twice and Overhaul had been seen talking to each other, and soon enough a meeting would take place. All For One had plans for the little girl. Eri. They just needed the heroes busy for the time being while they kept going. Before long, even Aizawa would start to display the signs that Shouto was already showing. Shouto was starting to sympathize with all of them. That was clear enough by seeing that when he was away from Aizawa's heat pheromones, that he was a lot calmer. Not as on guard. It was just time.
It would work out in the end and the villains would be standing victorious over the heroes. Aizawa was the key to it all according to All For One.
"Why didn't you tell us, Dabi?" Shigaraki hissed.
Dabi sighed, toweling off his freshly dyed hair, throwing the towel off to the side without much care of where it had actually landed. The Alpha turned to look at the leader, giving him a deadpan look. "It wasn't the proper time. It still isn't, so, I would appreciate it if you kept your trap shut." Dabi shot back.
Shigaraki leveled a glare on him. Dabi was expecting the younger Alpha to go into a meltdown. To throw the childish tantrums that he was known for. Shigaraki stood up, casting him a glance with his crimson-colored eyes. There was a tension that filled the room a second later as they had squared off with one another. Neither of them daring to blink or to move a muscle. The tension in the room continued to spike as Dabi practically puffed up his chest, letting his flames dance over his hands for a second.
Before either of them could actually act, Aizawa pushed himself between the two of them, shoving both of them back by their chests with a shout of, "Enough!" Dabi was sure if Aizawa could be using his quirk right now, he would be. "You both are acting like fools right now."
Shouto stepped forward, reaching out and grabbing Dabi's jacket for a second, "In his defense, I thought you were dead for ten years."
Dabi grumbled, letting his flames extinguish as he crossed his arms. Shigaraki huffed, turning in the opposite direction. "I'm supposed to be the leader, and one of my people kept this from me."
Dabi peeked over just in time to see Aizawa narrowing a glare on Shigaraki, "I get paid by U.A. to deal with my students. You kidnapped me, I don't have to do anything. If you want to kill each other, fine. The Alpha pheromones in this room are making me nauseous." This time, Aizawa turned to look at him, "A pack can't operate with secrets like that, so you are just as at fault."
It had been a week since Aizawa's heat, and he definitely seemed to be doing a lot better than he was before. A part of him actually missed when Aizawa was mostly out of it. He wondered how Aizawa's students handled that glare every single day. It would probably be worse if Aizawa had use of his quirk and his capture weapon too. Rather it was on instinct he got involved or not, Dabi knew that Kurogiri would have acted if they were actually trying to kill each other. This was a step in a new direction. If Aizawa was getting comfortable enough that he was getting involved in their affairs, it meant that their plans were starting to work.
"Eraser—" Shigaraki started but was immediately cut off by Aizawa turning to look at him.
"Do not Eraser me." Aizawa hissed. "If the two of us are going to be here and you act like we are your pack, I'll treat you as such. You're both acting like children on a playground."
Shigaraki grumbled for a second, crossing his arms as he muttered, "I feel like I'm getting scolded."
"Because you are." Shouto snickered, bouncing on his feet. "You should see when he activates his quirk with it."
This time Aizawa turned his gaze to him for a second and Dabi rose his hands. It might have just been his clone, but he knew very well what Aizawa was capable of even without his quirk. "I'm not in this anymore." Aizawa looked pleased for a second as he sighed, moving back, and leaning against the wall and letting his eyes close. Almost like it was completely out of habit. Dabi sighed, shaking his head, "I would have told you, but I couldn't let that bastard find out who I was in the case I didn't stay." For a moment, Aizawa's attention had turned back to him again. Aizawa had still been in a heat haze when he had explained all of it to Shouto and the others. Explained what happened all those years ago. Ever since then, his pack mates have been surrounding him that much more.
As Dabi turned his attention back to Shigaraki, he could see the smirk that came to the other Alpha's face. "We could use this even more than just having Shouto here." Dabi felt his own face contort into a smirk. Shigaraki didn't have to say it for him to know what he meant. "I would love to see the look on that bastard's face."
Dabi hummed. "We just have to buy time until then. Don't want our plans falling apart." He stated, slinging his arm over his little brother's shoulders. Shouto had been clinging to him practically from the second he woke up. He hadn't gone that far from him and then Shouto would be coming up behind him like a shadow. Trailing behind him with everything he did. At first, it annoyed him, but now it was just a precedence that was now standing among them.
Shigaraki grumbled in agreement despite not looking happy about it. He sighed, looking over to Twice now, "Which reminds me, when is that Overhaul bastard supposed to meet up with us?"
Twice snapped, "Planned for two months from now."
Dabi smirked. So, everything was falling into place. The information he gave to Hawks sound work on getting everything set up. He hadn't spoken to the Omega since that night, but he had seen on the news that he was fast at work still in Kyushu. Going between there and U.A. Maybe he could drop in again, but they still had so much they were doing here that it might have to wait for a bit.
He only knew about Eri from All for One. The man giving him all the information on Overhaul and the little girl that was being held captive. He wasn't sure why he was given the information until Twice had said he had spoken to him. Then the plans started to come into motion. It would be perfect. Have the heroes distracted while they continued their plans. It worked out. All for One seemed really interested in the little girl. Even knew what her quirk was. He wasn't about to ask how All for One knew it either. That man had influence everywhere. He just hoped Hawks had listened to him. He knew that heroes could never deny saving someone within their reach. This little girl was there, they just had to get to her.
They were getting closer by the day to be able to start the second phase of their plans. All for One was adamant that they needed to get Eri to Aizawa. That only he could help her once she was taken from the hands of the yakuza organization. Dabi wasn't going to question it. At least, not right now. Dabi had been through some shit in his life, but not nearly as far as that little girl was going through. He wasn't sure who he wanted to kill more. Endeavor or Overhaul. Overhaul seemed easier. They didn't have all the details. Just from what All for One gave them, but it seemed really promising.
Just a bit longer. Aizawa and Todoroki weren't ready yet. They still needed a bit more time.

He should have known that it was only a matter of time before All for One came back for him. The nauseating feeling that came to the pit of his stomach as they were simply sitting in the living space. He had only felt this once, but he had recognized it. "Aizawa-sensei!" He had Todoroki scream, his scared expression as the Omega Hero's mouth was forced open as the gray substance came out and quickly encased him in it. It only felt like a matter of seconds before he was landing on his feet in an unfamiliar room. Choking and gagging as he wiped at his mouth, losing his balance, and falling to his knees.
"How was your little break, Shouta?" All for One questioned.
Shouta glared, narrowing the sharp glance on the villain. All for One chuckled, leaning back in his chair. He wasn't alone. The Doctor was with him like usual. "Where should we start first, Master?" The Doctor questioned.
Shouta's guard was up as he stumbled to his feet. He had more strength than before. He wasn't exhausted. He wasn't going through a heat anymore. He was probably just in the next room over from that lab. "Let's see…" All for One hummed, "I wonder if he's been thinking about All Might recently." As soon as he heard All Might's name, the pain went sparking through Shouta's head. He winced, reaching up to his now pounding head. Hands curling into his hair as he heaved. The questioning moving through him quickly. It had felt like an electric shock had moved through him. He had collapsed back down to his knees. His body trembling from the sudden shock wave that he had no explanation too.
For just a brief moment, there was a bloodlust that he felt. An uncontrollable urge to attack.
All for One just started chuckling, "We'll get back to that soon enough." He turned his head, looking to the Doctor as Shouta managed to raise his head despite the pounding that came to it, "Go get everything ready. Leave us here for a few hours."
The Doctor nodded, excusing himself from the room, leaving just the two of them in there. All for One had pushed himself up, despite still being attached to the wires, he got to Shouta. Shouta had moved to get out of his range, but the Alpha had been quick to get a grip onto his hair and rip him off of the floor, turning and using his hair to slam his back into the nearby wall.
The blow had knocked the wind right out of his lungs. "I know what game you're playing at, Shouta." All for One purred, letting his grip drop from his hair to let his fingers graze down the Omega's face. "You are trying to pull them all into a false sense. Thinking that your fake domesticity will work." The Alpha villain clicked his tongue as his face turned into a sadistic grin. Shouta had felt himself paralyze in that moment. All of him freezing as All for One leaned in, his mouth lingering over his ear. "By the time I'm done with you, it won't be fake anymore. You'll be begging to be back with them."
The Omega felt the chill go down his spine. Listening to the drawl of the Alpha's tone. The pheromones that went flaring into his nose. Taking over all the senses he had. He felt like he couldn't breathe as he felt the Alpha's other hand moving over his abdomen. "I—"
"A month ago, I told Tomura what to do. What he needed to do to get your full cooperation." All for One hadn't pulled back, instead, bringing his leg up and shoving it between both of Shouta's, forcing his feet off of the ground. He moved his arms, bringing one to try and shove the Alpha away from him. All for One had caught his hands, pinning one back against the wall as his other hand moved to cover the entirety of his throat. Fingers curling into his skin and cutting off his airway. The Omega choked for a second, kicking his feet and using his only free hand to try and claw the offending limb away from him. The black dots that were already starting to dance over his vision from the pressure. All for One had continued to cackle, muttering out, "He told me no. That foolish boy doesn't realize the asset to be. I always have to fix his mistakes. He won't have to worry. I will ensure that his power and status will remain. Imagine what the League would be like if Eraserhead truly sided with hem. After some time, you will."
Shouta really hated the sound of that as the dread pooled in his stomach. All for One released him, letting him fall to the floor. His body slammed hard into the surface as he wheezed. The air stinging his lungs as oxygen started flooding back through him. It made him cough from the dryness in his throat that he had experienced from his breathing being cut off temporarily.
"I will not join you." It was so strained. It hurt to speak from his voice box being affected by the strangulation.
"Not me." All for One. "Him. All I have to do is break you. You're proving that much more difficult. You're not easy to sway. A trait you share with All Might." The pain ripped through him again as his body gave out. He begged for anything to make that pain stop. "For the next month, you are mine to do with as I please. Only I will send you back to Tomura when I deem it fit. Until I shatter that annoying stubbornness of yours."
"Hit me with your best shot." Shouta hissed, pushing himself up onto his hands and knees. His breaths coming out heavy as he glared through his curtain of bangs that had fallen completely into his face. "There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't experienced before."
All for One smirked, almost like he was accepting a challenge. "You are making this more fun than it should be, Shouta. I don't want to harm his comrades, but I can't have you turning against him." His foot came up, slamming into Shouta's ribs that sent the Omega to his back. Shouta had grunted from the contact, but it wasn't the worst pain that he's ever experienced. Not when he's been crushed by a Nomu who's power rivaled that of All Might. What could this man possibly throw at him now? The Alpha's foot slammed down on his chest, leaning in to put weight against his leg as he added in, "You are already feeling the instinctual bonds of a pack. You can't conceal that. Just give it some more time. You will truly feel for them what you do for those students of yours. Shouto is already so close to breaking. You will be the final straw for him. Your bonds have only gotten stronger during your time in captivity."
Shouta bit down on his lip hard enough that he felt the blood come up to the skin. There was still a defiance flaring through him as he hissed out, "I have nothing to do with All Might except for working together. Nothing that you do to me affects him."
All for One clicked his tongue, "So, clueless, Shouta." The Alpha villain moved, picking up his foot off of the Omega's chest as he reached down, hauling Shouta to his feet by his bicep. Pulling him straight up to his chest in one swift motion. It felt like the entire world had stopped. All for One's words reached his ears and with each one, it took Shouta's breath away. His heart pounding against his chest as his eyes widened.
It couldn't be true. He shook his head, the soft denial falling from his lips as All for One moved his free hand up. Letting his thumb dig into Shouta's chin. "You're lying."
"Just imagine what they would all feel if their precious Eraserhead came back changed." The same hand that had been digging into his chin moved, striking him across the face and sending him straight into a mattress he hadn't realized was there. He was still in complete shock from what All for One had just said to him, added in with the disorientation of the hit. Both of All for One's hands ended up on either side of his head as he felt the shockwave come. One that made his vision blur, the world start spinning, and his stomach turning. It had ripped a scream from his throat as the sharpness spiked in his head and down his body. "Just give in and the pain will end, Shouta."
Shouta shook his head. He refused to believe any of it. Refused to break.
"Fine." All for One purred, "Unlike Tomura, I'm willing to do anything to bring that man crumbling to his knees and I don't care who I have to take down to do it. Maybe once I'm done with you, I'll go grab the brat. I'm sure it wouldn't take but an hour to break him." The Omega's heart started pounding as he managed to get a brace on himself. Leveling out his breathing as he felt All for One's hand land on the back of his head, forcing his face further into the mattress. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll never allow your husband to touch you again. You won't be able to so much as hear All Might's name without feeling so much rage that you want to end him. Your students will see a broken man that was once their strong teacher. So much for their protector. How can you protect them if you can't even protect yourself?"
Shouta had never felt this amount of fear in his life. The panic setting in as All for One shuffled and the sweatpants he had been wearing were ripped from his body. "No!" He screamed, trying to move his hands to stop the action from happening. The Alpha draped his body over his back, effectively keeping him pinned in place.
It only seemed to be riling All for One up more as he struggled against it, trying anything to keep this from happening to him. The villain's heavy breathing was puffing against his ear, a hand moving over the exposed skin of his thighs, dipping down over the curves until reaching that spot. The Omega kicked his legs, trying to use his arms to pull himself away. "There's no use in fighting it, Shouta." All for One purred.
The Omega bit down on his lip harder than before as he felt the intrusion. His body screaming at him now. His instincts flaring and telling him to fight back. The villain had gotten him pinned down enough that he could barely move at all. Though as soon as the action was done, the villain was pulling away. Shifting his hips just enough that just a few seconds later, the Omega was feeling the burning stretch that even his body couldn't catch up with as a harsh rut against his body practically knocked the wind out of him. His body moving against the sheet that covered the bed. The Alpha's other hand forcing his hip down on the bed to keep him trapped even further.
Shouta tried to think of anything else but this. As his body was violated in ways that he didn't think this villain would actually do. What a fool he was. He should have expected something like this. He should have known. He could feel the disgust pooling in his stomach as the bile rose up. His body moving along the mattress which each thrust into his body that the villain gave. It was like all the fight had been drained out of his body with that single action as he was forced to submit to his fate. He couldn't move to attempt to stop it. He was just stuck.
All he could think of was At least it's not Todoroki. He would rather this happen to him. Any of it. All for One was so harsh with him. Hands digging into different parts of his body. A burning sensation or an almost electrical shock that had followed. His body erupting within surges of pain as every part of him was either touched or violated in some way. The only thing left alone was his eyes.
"Your husband won't want you now that your body has submitted to a villain." All for One purred into his ear, nipping at the skin of the cartilage there. It had sent a chill down his spine. The tingling sensation as All for One's teeth scratched over his skin, stopping at his unmarked neck.
Shouta flailed, somehow managing to get enough adrenaline coursing through him to slam his shoulder into All for One's mouth. "Don't!" It came out a plea. That was something he could never let happen to him here. There was only one person in this entire world that he would ever let touch that in such an intimate way and it sure as hell wasn't this man.
He was surprised that All for One didn't actually react to the defiance, instead chuckling as his teeth just scrapped across the fabric of his shirt. "You should be careful; I don't take kindly to fighting back."
He just wanted this to be done and over with. For the pain to stop. He was already disgusted with himself in that moment. He didn't want to think about Hizashi when an assault to his body was happening. What look Hizashi would have on his face if he found out that Shouta didn't even fight back. How could he ever look Hizashi in the eye again?
As he felt the villain's knot forming inside of his body, catching against his skin before sealing the two together. The spray of hot fluids against his insides that had the bile coming to his mouth as he stared off towards the wall. Despite how dry his eyes normally were, he felt the sting to his eyes, the tears coming to them as they started to free fall down his face.
I'm so sorry, Hizashi.
X
All for One had a triumph smirk gracing his face as he stood up, readjusting his clothes as he looked at his masterpiece. The Omega's gaze was far away. Clouded over in nothingness. Nothing reflecting in his eyes as there was no light left in them. Not even an ounce of fight left from the pure defiance he had been showing since the second he had been abducted. His body was battered and bruised. Like a painted canvas over black, blue, and purple splashing across pale skin. Blood moving down from his mouth where the Omega had bitten himself in an attempt to stay quiet. The fluids that coated his inner thighs. The mixture of the villain and his blood painting the skin. The claw marks that he covered him in. The tear tracks on his face that were long since dried. Bloodshot eyes.
Nothing that they threw at him seemed to work in breaking his mind. The walls the Omega had built up being so resistant to anything that they could think of. The electroshocks that were working to rewire his brain. Sending him into Omega Instinct induced Frenzies. Using illusions of his mother to try and persuade him against All Might. Threats against his student. Nothing. Absolutely nothing had done as much damage to his psyche as this.
For the first time since arriving here, Shouta Aizawa was broken.
"If only Tomura had just listened to me." All for One stated, staring down at the Omega. Aizawa didn't even look at him. Didn't utter a sound. Just staring blankly at the wall, curled in on his side. His hair draping around him in a mess. "He probably would have been gentle with you since he admires you so much."
He was practically monologuing to himself. He knew that. It would take a bit more time to tell if he had completely shattered Aizawa's mind, but just from the look in his eyes, it was clear to him that there was no fight left in him. Rather it was to save face or if it was true defiance, it was all gone. The room was filled with Aizawa's distressed scent. It only worked to make All for One more proud of his work. Tomura hadn't made it far with Aizawa, but he was doing wonders with Todoroki. From monitoring his progress, Tomura was turning out to be a true pack leader. It wouldn't be much longer now. Just taking Aizawa away from Todoroki should be enough for Tomura to be able to swoop in and finish the job.
"Your mother managed to hide you from me for a long time, but I've been watching you all these years, Shouta." All for One stated, waiting for any reaction but not gaining one. "I tried and failed many times to get my hands on you. If it wasn't for All Might, I never would have looked at you for more than just your quirk. If I didn't need you for our plans to ruin hero society as a whole, I would have taken your quirk the second we brought you here." Surprisingly, Aizawa didn't even react to All Might's name. Not after the last round of conditioning he had been put through for his body to involuntarily have painful stimuli at so much as a mention of the Alpha Hero's name. This trauma he had just experienced trumped even that. "I finally have you how I want you. You'll make a perfect weapon against him."
The door opened as Garaki stepped in, the shock on his face as he saw the condition of Aizawa. "I thought you were going to have Tomura—"
"Plans changed." All for One stated. "But we need to keep our goals in action, or we will not succeed."
The Doctor shook his head for a second, sighing as he moved forward, "He might not have the strength to surface the process now."
The Alpha just started to chuckle, shaking his head as he took a seat back in his chair, turning to face back towards his monitors that watched over the home that the League was in. "He cares too much about his students. That alone will be enough to keep him alive. He's come this far. He won't give up now."
Behind him, Garaki had moved forward, pulling the Omega to his feet. Just looking over his shoulder, Aizawa wasn't fighting against it. Stumbling on his feet as Garaki moved him towards the door and back towards the lab. For a moment, he had thought that he was going to have to pull out Kurogiri for this. The final piece in his arsenal that he could have used to break the Omega. It appeared he didn't have to use that now.
As the two disappeared out of the room, he turned his attention back to the monitors. Monitoring over Todoroki. He never did actually have to bring Todoroki to him to get Aizawa to listen. Just the thought alone of what he could do to the Omega teenager was enough to keep the Hero in line. Tomura would continue to be enough in recruiting the Number Two Hero's son.
It only solidified that the perfect two had been picked. Bakugou's drive had been too strong for the League to break through. These two already had past traumas against them that they exploited. Having Touya Todoroki at their expense had worked exponentially. He had played a key factor into breaking Todoroki. Todoroki had broken without so much as realizing it. Just being away from Aizawa was enough to give that final push that the League would need to get the firm hold on him.
Now, all that was left was going into phase two of Aizawa's purpose.

Tomura was sulking. Not that he would ever admit that. It would be a while before they had Aizawa back with them now that he was with All for One again. Just as it seemed everything was starting to fall in place, his Master had to swoop in and take him back. There was a flare of protectiveness that had ran through him in that moment. The look that Aizawa had on his face as he realized where he was about to go again.
Shouto had practically reclused back into a shell again following it. It didn't matter where he was, he could smell the distress coming off of Shouto. Not even Dabi could help him with it. They needed something to distract him before he set them all off. Rather Shouto liked it or not, he was their pack now. From the time that they spent together, the lingering bonds were starting to show that much more.
"Dabi, you've got to do something." Toga whined. Covering her nose for a second as her face scrunched up. "He's letting off too much."
Dabi threw his hands up, "Okay, just because you know I'm his older brother now doesn't mean I can fix this." He stated, keeping the normal drawl to his tone as he looked down the hall in concern.
"Someone has to do something." Compress added.
"Poor thing." Magne whined, a sour look on her face as she shook her head, "He really cares for that teacher of his."
It was making Tomura antsy. He hated knowing that a pack member was in distress and there wasn't anything he could do about it. Not without trying to get Aizawa brought back to them. He had no idea what was going on whenever Aizawa was away from them, but the last time he came back in a full-blown heat and covered in injuries. It made him growl as he curled his fingers into his overshirt, careful to keep himself from touching with all five.
Tomura made his way to the room that Shouto had been set up in, barging in without so much as a knock. He was pack. It wasn't like they knocked for anyone else either. He was hit with a wave of the strawberry-vanilla type scent that reminded him of strawberry shortcakes with a hint of the smell of snow. Shouto had looked up at him, and Tomura had to admit that the look on his face actually had the concern growing in him.
"You're causing a ruckus out there giving off that scent." Tomura stated.
Shouto shrugged, curling his legs up. "Sorry. I can't help it."
The Alpha sighed, scratching at the back of his neck. He wasn't sure what to do in this situation. If Dabi couldn't do anything, what could he do? "He'll come back to us. He'll be okay."
"You can't promise that." Shouto snapped.
Tomura knew that he couldn't promise it, but he also knew that All for One had plans for Aizawa which meant that he would be alive. That's what counted. Tomura wanted to step in and make it stop. Whatever All for One was doing was apparently to make their plans concrete. Keep their plans from being able to be broken. He wasn't good at this. He let the different possibilities of how-to sooth his new packmate through his mind before he settled on something.
He walked forward, reaching out his hand, "Come with me." Shouto looked weary as he eyed Tomura's hand. "We're just going to go take your mind off of this."
The Omega still looked uneasy, but he had listened. Reaching out and placing his hand in Tomura's so the Alpha could pull him up. Tomura made a noise as he all but pulled Shouto out of the room, marching right past the rest of his pack as he went towards where the entrance of the house was. "Where are we going?" Shouto questioned.
"Figured you might want something nice, I guess." Tomura stated, throwing open the door. He wasn't concerned about Shouto running. The outdoors was dark as he escorted Shouto out of the home. They were in the middle of the woods on a mountain. Even if Shouto got away from him, they could bring him back easily. They were far away from any other person to be able to find them. They had been being careful about going outdoors at the moment, but he just needed something to get Shouto to chill with his pheromones. His scent was even getting to him.
He turned to look at Shouto, seeing how the tension in his shoulders started to leave. The Omega's eyes were still wide as he looked around. "I didn't think you'd let me…"
"Outside?" Tomura questioned. He paused for a second as he realized that Shouto's grip actually got tighter on his for a moment as the young aspiring hero took a couple of steps forward to his side. Still looking up at the night sky. Up in the mountains, it was easier to see the stars dusting in the sky. "There's no where for you to run. You're smart, right? You know you'd never make it that far before we caught up."
Shouto didn't say anything back at first, instead, Tomura watched as Shouto started a bit further ahead, pulling him along with him, stopping at some of the water that was nearby. "I just found out that Tou—Dabi is alive… I don't think I could leave him yet." Shouto turned to look at him for a second, a sad glimpse in his eye. "You know we can't stay, right? The heroes will find us."
"You've been here for over a month now." Tomura stated, tilting his head for a second. Shouto looked shocked for a second before he was nodding. "They aren't even close to figuring out where you two are. With you separated, they still wouldn't win."
Shouto sighed, turning, and falling on his bottom onto the ground, dropping Tomura's hand in the process. The Omega pulled his legs up, letting his fingers graze over the grass. It was the definition of needing to go outside and touch some grass. The Alpha sat down, bracing his arms on his own legs as he watched the Omega for a second. Shouto looked much calmer now. His scent was starting to recede, but Tomura could still feel just how anxious he was.
They sat in silence for a few minutes before Shouto was looking up to him with his heterochromia eyes. "What is the purpose of the League of Villains?"
It felt like such an odd question that threw even Tomura off.
The Alpha exhaled sharply, reaching up for the hand that covered his face. Holding it out in front of him before he was looking up the night sky as well. "To give my friends a life of doing what they want to do." He stated. The League had become so much more than just an agenda against All Might within the last few months. It felt like even more now that Aizawa and Shouto were here. It was like they were bringing a whole new dynamic into everything.
"Can't you do that without being a villain?" Shouto questioned. Tomura eyed him for a second, seeing the genuine curiosity on his face. Shouto looked away for a second, a flush coming to his face as he stumbled over a few of his words, "I mean, you didn't have to become criminals."
"It was just the cards we were dealt with in this game." Tomura replied. "You heard our stories. You know why we bound together. It shouldn't even be a question anymore."
Shouto made a noise for a second shaking his head, "You never told me anything about you."
Tomura shrugged, "What's there to say? All I remember is my Master."
The silence fell over the two again as Tomura just kept his eyes on the Omega. He was never exceptionally good at reading body language, but something was off from what he could tell. He watched Shouto reach up with one hand, scratching at his neck for a second. His fingers hitting into the quirk cancelling collar. Digging into the bruised skin that was there. Tomura's eyebrow shot up as he watched the action. Shouto's skin was red and inflamed, like he had been doing that for a while now. "What are you doing?"
Shouto peeked up at him through his two-toned bangs, shaking his head, "My neck just itches."
Tomura hummed, nodding, "I understand that feeling." Shouto kept repeating the action despite being caught doing it. There was no way that Shouto could get it off, but Tomura could if he wanted to. It would be a heavy risk to allow it.
Though, it could possibly solidify some sort of trust between the two. For the second, he wouldn't. He couldn't be sure that Shouto wouldn't immediately attack him the second he released the device from his neck. So instead, he would wait for a moment.
"Did he really tell you everything?" The Omega questioned, an unknown look in his eye as he shuffled like he was uncomfortable. "About my old man."
Tomura nodded. "It's why we picked you. The heroes are such hypocrites. Putting guys like us in jail while protecting their own. What kind of hero beats their child and wife, but can go out and save others?"
Shouto let one of his hands drop for a second, curling into his shirt above his stomach. Like there was a memory flashing before his mind that he was reacting to. "There's a reason he's managed to stay Number Two for so long. There's a lot I could learn."
Tomura snorted, shaking his head as he rolled his eyes, "If you want to be a hero, you can't keep living in his shadow." Shouto looked at him in shock for a second, eyebrow shooting up from what Tomura had just said to him. The Alpha tilted his head, giving a smirk, "What? I told you; I want my pack to live their lives the way they want. That includes you." Shouto looked like he had no idea what to say back to him. His mouth dropping open for a second before it was shut again. Pressed lips as he bit down on his bottom lip. "We have our plans, but we aren't going to force you do anything. What would be the League of Villains if we just forced you to do it?" It was in that moment, that Tomura knew he had Shouto right where he wanted him. Shouto's guard was completely down. He was processing everything that he was saying to him. The Alpha stood up as Shouto watched him for a second. Tension coming back to his body as he froze.
Tomura moved around him, kneeling behind his back. "What are you doing?" Shouto was panicking now. It was clear on his face and within his spiked scent.
Tomura shushed him, reaching up to the back of the collar as he pulled the key out of his pocket. "I'm giving you a sign of faith." He stated. "This must be irritating your neck, so let's fix that."
Shouto's breathing was quick as Tomura unlocked the collar, pulling it away from the bruised skin. The Alpha leaned back slightly, watching as the Omega reached up to rub at his skin. This was the moment of truth. Would Shouto attempt to attack him and run? Or would he stay? Reaching into his other pocket, he pulled out one of Toga's spare handkerchiefs, dipping it into the water before ringing it out.
The Omega seemed almost too stunned to react as Tomura kneeled down in front of him this time. Bringing up the wet cloth and moving it across the irritated skin. Shouto's eyes were wide as the air caught in his throat. Holding his breath with each motion that Tomura gave to clean the surface. "This pack is a family, Shouto." Tomura stated. "Those so-called heroes have had a month to find you so far and haven't gotten anywhere. Do you really think they could now? They won't find you until we let them." Shouto just blinked, shaking his head as he reached up, his fingers grazing over the handkerchief and the tips of the Alpha's fingers before he was pulling them back as if they were on fire. Ironically enough. "Or are you going to continue hiding in that bastard's shadow? He wants you to be a hero. You can be if you want, but how great would it be if you stood by your older brother's side to show that you aren't tied to his blood?"
Shouto exhaled sharply, like he was finally able to breathe, looking at Tomura again. "I… my friends… we're all supposed to become heroes." He whispered, "If I joined you, they would never forgive me."
"If they really are your friends, they would want you to be happy." Tomura shot back, dropping his hand away from the Omega's neck as he deemed the skin clean. "You have a real chance here with us. Join us and change hero society. Make the title of hero one you can be proud of." Tomura stood up, holding his hand out to him, "The choice is yours."
Shouto continued to eye him for a second before he was saying, "I… Promise me something."
"And that would be?" Tomura questioned.
"Please, don't go after my friends anymore." Shouto whispered. "Leave Class 1-A alone. If you can promise me that…"
"Promise." Tomura smirked. Check mate. "If you join the League of Villains, I promise you, we will not target those brats again. The only way we will fight them is if they attack us. You're pack now. They are your pack to, which means they belong to us too. I'll destroy anything that stands in my way."
Shouto nodded, a slight smile breaking out onto his face as he reached out, taking Tomura's hand.
Game over, heroes.
The Alpha pulled the Omega to his feet, a grin coming to his face. Now, it was just to persuade Eraserhead to their cause. They still had a few months before the next level of their game would commence. When Aizawa agrees, it would be the complete and utter downfall of hero society.
It was now time to start phase two into their plans to ensure that Aizawa and Shouto stay among their ranks. They could prove to be very valuable to their cause. Now, they had one of the players involved.
