Episode 3
The Budget
Today the office was as productive as you'll expect from our colorful cast of characters, the League were grouped up on the office floor chatting with each other rather than working. They were called here by their higher ups for a reason that has yet to be announced, not that they were complaining about a reason not to work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Might, Former Pro Number 1 Pro Hero, CEO, Age 52:
"I'm immensely thankful for the effort young Midoriya have been putting in for this company. Despite his already troublesome job of being human resource for the people that have attempted to kill him and his friends on multiple occasions, he does double time in many of our departments to make sure that everything is running smoothly. Which saying that out loud makes me thank the stars that he thought of doing this on his own as I realized it might've not been the best idea leaving such important positions to villain without some higher authority making sure the work they have done didn't sink the company... Or better said, we should've had someone there to make sure the work they didn't do will sink our company."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deku, Young Pro Hero, Hero Resources, Age 19:
"It was quite amazing how I caught this, I almost missed it the first time around but then after a double check I realized we had a huge problem, so I called in the league to discuss it civilly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With a case file in his hands Midoriya left his office, approaching the group to announce, "Everyone I've come across something troubling."
"Is it your blank sex record?" Dabi retorted, earning a high five from a snickering Shigaraki.
"Hey don't say that," A aggravated Toga scolded, jabbing Dabi in the ribcage to silence him, "It's definitely not blank," her lips curled into a devious smile as she spoke, squirming a bit in her seat as if she was pleased with something.
This drew some confused looks from the crowd, Dabi would've asked more about it but then again he barely cares about the personal life of anyone and he wasn't going to start now.
Quickly Midoriya moved to stir the conversation back on track before anyone can ask anymore questions, "I'm referring to our budget," As he states this he drops the file he was holding on the table, "We're going above and beyond our companies' limit because some workers here are excessively draining our savings instead of properly doing their work!"
Despite those words being extremely vague it seems that almost everyone already had their mind on who to blame, almost instantly did their eyes all fall their green lizard co-worker.
A very confused Spinner looked around wondering why everyone was staring at him, "What!?"
"You gotta stop spending company time watching the same youtube video of Stain's speech!" Toga called out, remembering on the rare occasions she was actually doing her work being distracted by constantly hearing the voice of Stain giving an impactful speech…..on loop. While she was also inspired by his words, she didn't need to hear it every minute of the hour! She can get tired of living off the same old memories, which is why she'll sneak into Midoriya's office whenever she feels things have been a bit too stale for her.
But this isn't about her questionable personal life, right now she was concerned for her fellow friend and Stain supporter of his obvious addiction.
"You're acting like I'm some addict," Spinner defended himself despite the fact that he was truly a addict, "It motivates me as I work!"
"So the time you wasted half our budget for an office party on Stain theme balloons was for motivation?" Shigaraki retorted, "It wasn't even a costume party either it was for someone's birthday."
"Then when we did have a costume themed event you used the budget to get only Stain costumes," Twice says, "Not that I was complaining I love that crazy bastard!"
"That's not even mentioning how you spend almost all of your paychecks buying Stain merch online," Compress stated, he was surprised he hasn't run out of things to spend his money on.
Spinner jumped to defend himself, "Maybe I do spend a lot of my time on Stain but that's usually during my me time!"
"Except those 30 minute calls you make which is suppose to be used to serve as our customer service agent," Midoriya adds in, "Yet you spend more time promoting Stain than our company, which would somewhat be beneficial if we had the rights to officially sell Stain related merch but considering how he's currently... "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stain was still violently throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Heroes assigned to watch over him. Fatgum was soaking up hits as usual, Uwabami was trying to peacefully talk him down, and BubbleGirl was regretting ever agreeing to this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Uncooperative and all the bigger corporations have already snatched up all the best merchandise ideas, all you're doing is just racking up a phone bill. In fact you're probably damaging our sales by promoting a product we don't have."
"How the hell are you still alive if you spend all your money on useless crap?" Dabi asked, unlike most of the others his contribution to this conversation wasn't out of some concern for Spinner's wellbeing or the companies stability, barely anyone in the league actually cared if the company sink or not, but out of pure curiosity.
"I have my ways, a person with real convictions can survive off of the bare essentials!" Spinner claims, puffing up his chest with great vigor in his commitment. His lips did seem to strangely wiggle a bit if one looked close enough.
Dabi scoffed, rolling his eyes at the display, "So much pride for someone eating like a rat."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you were desperate enough to scavenge the break room's fridge to look for something you can take without us noticing," Toga stated, crossing her arms as a particular thought ran across her mind now that she was on the subject, "Wait, are you the one who ate the Yogurt I put in the fridge!?
…
The silence made the air grow thick as the group waited for the answer, it took a while before anyone noticed that Spinner mouth was slowly moving again as if he was munching on something.
"Are you eating our stuff right now dude!?" Twice called out as soon as he noticed.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Spinner ominously says, not looking in their direction as a gulping sound echoed throughout the room.
It wasn't his best choice deciding to steal from former criminals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spinner, Stain's Hypeman, Customer Service, Age 24:
"My dedication to living like Stain is strong… but my bodily desires can sometimes be stronger." His strong posture broke as he hung his head in shame for his actions.
….
"I do have a new craving for the lime yogurt though."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You mother fuc-"
Luckily the before anything could occur Midoriya spoke up to get everyone back on track about the budget then personal issues, "Let's settle down guys, he's not the only one causing problems. There's a list of things you guys are doing that's just bleeding cash from the company!"
The first person Midoriya looked at was Toga, whose face lit up in delight from being looked at by one of the people she loves.
"Toga you're our second biggest deficit!"
The smile on her quickly turned sour in confusion, "How?"
"You're stabbing our employees!"
"Again with this?"
"What do you mean again with this!?" Midoriya replied, his voice cracked a bit as he spoke, "You think half a dozen people can actually run an office? We need some employees here we can trust doing the more mundane things so production here doesn't shut down and the only way we can convince anyone to work here is if we promise high quality health insurance. Which we were hoping wasn't going to be used often, not every week!"
"Just hire like any college graduate, they'll probably take the job in a heartbeat," Dabi stated, getting a handful of nods of agreement from his coworkers.
"They're not suicidal just desperate!" Midoriya told him.
"Mmm~" Toga suggestively hummed as she daydreamed of the possibility, "So many people filled with ambition, I wonder how they'll be? I might become one of them."
"Toga no, we talked about this!" Midoriya warned knowing exactly where her trail of thoughts were going to lead to, they may have taken away the use of her quirk but her interest in becoming the people she loves have not disappeared one bit. He might need to get a spray bottle to keep her in check.
"Sorry~" She apologetically told him, there was an attempt to hide how disingenuous she was being in her voice which usually would be commendable but she was doing that devilish grin she usually does when it's an obvious lie. The one where her cheeks gets extremely red, her mouth stretches wide, and her fangs are showing; All signs of when she's not sorry at all and have some alternative intentions, "I've been very bad and caused you a lot of stress, I'll be sure to do some work to relieve some of that."
From the look on Midoriya's face it was obvious that he wanted to say something but didn't as if there was a particular reason he's holding his tongue. Instead he decided to carry on with the meeting, "H-hopefully, some Honest work would be appreciated. Dabi-"
"Don't even bother!" Dabi loudly interrupts as he leans back in his chair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dabi, Wielder of Blue Fire, IT Department, Age 29:
"I really don't know what these fuckers actually expect us to work. We're the League of Villains, not the League of Minimum Wage Employees."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Midoriya bite his lip, he was now confronting one of the problem children of the group with the most attitude and it wasn't going to be easy, "I kinda have to call your name, we're trying to healthy discuss how we all can do better here."
"I'm not taking calls at the moment, just leaving whatever crap you have for me in my bin and I'll get to it whenever," The blue flame user states as he points to the trash bin by his desk which was already filled to the brim with the stacks of paper he's been given since that morning...and throughout the week.
Scratching the back of his head Midoriya saids, "See that's the problem, you don't ever answer when we call you and you ignore every request you get. You're our only IT guy here and no one else has the skills to fix machinery or enough patience to learn. Everytime something here can't be fixed with a google search we're literally forced to throw it out and buy a new one, it's starting to stack up bills!"
The mention of their highly inefficient way they've been dealing with their technology problem seems to cause Shigaraki to get involved in the conversation, "By the way thank you for that, Dabi not doing his work is the best thing to happen to this place. It creates the only time they allow us to break shit here and not get scolded. Just yesterday me and Nejire got to chuck the printer into the dumpster from the window upstairs!"
"And you guys didn't call me!" Toga shouts, she also enjoyed the mindless fun that was destroying company property, "No fair!"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait , wait," Midoriya cuts in, "What happened to the printer!?"
"It stopped working?" Shigaraki responded.
"What do you mean it stopped working?"
"It just stopped working, I couldn't print anything."
"How? We just brought it 2 weeks ago!"
"Hell if I know and not my job to find out. All I know is when I tried to print out this cool Apex Legend poster I found online it just stopped working."
"...please tell me you didn't use construction paper?"
"Yeah why?"
"Construction paper usually gets jammed in the printer!"
"Oh… well that explains all the weird noises, I just assumed it was done for."
"You didn't even check first before you thrashed it! Nejire why didn't you stop him?"
Nejire stayed silent as her employer looked her way, she wasn't prepared to answer questions today. She had just returned from Dunkin Donuts, upon hearing in the morning that they were going to be having a meeting she decided to be nice and get everyone some donuts. It only took so long because she forgot to ask everyone what kind of donut they wanted and decided on it, torturing the poor part-timer that was cursed to take that shift with endless questions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nejire Hado, Lovable Airhead UA Graduated, Supervisor, 21:
"I thought it was a good idea for Shigaraki to be able to freely express himself so he wouldn't feel so oppressed all the time… plus it was wicked cool making that shot from so high up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whoops, oh well no big deal we can get another one right?" Nejire calmly suggests as she munches on her glazed donut.
The stupidity today must really be getting at the green haired boy from the visual frustration he had on his face, he looked like he had a few choice of words for the group but resisted saying them. Repeating the line spoken to him, he kindly gave them an answer, "Just get a new one? Yeah that'll be great… if it was that simple! That printer wasn't even paid off yet!"
"It wasn't paid off?" Shigaraki repeated, "It's a printer not a car how was it not paid off?"
"Because we don't have enough money in the budget to completely pay it off!" Midoriya shouts.
"Sounds like you guys really need to get your shit together," Remarked Dabi.
"Yeah seriously, how can we work in these conditions when you're just letting this company bleed money? Hurry up and hire someone to look over our finances so we don't go broke!" Shigaraki demanded.
"That's your job!"
"Well you're doing a shitty job in making sure I do it!"
"That's why we're here! That doesn't even-" Midoriya was hitting his limits, he would rather spend his day hanging around Bakugo back when he had a complete hate boner toward him then deal with this anymore. He covers his face with his hands and muffled a scream between them. When he was done he slapped the files he had in his hands and called out, "All Might read the rest of the files! Toga come with me to my office please," as he spoke he went over the psychotic blonde and grabbed her wrist before carrying her away, "I need your help canceling everything I have for the next hour or two."
Toga eyes lit up as she thought of all the possibilities, her excitement rose to the roof as she says, "Yes sir!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dabi, Wielder of Blue Fire, IT Department, Age 29:
"So, the brocoli haired golden boy does have a limit…"
A crooked smile slowly appeared on his face
"Interesting."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toga, League of Villain's Attractive Yandere, Receptionist, Age 20:
No words were needed for her, the wide smile she had on said it all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As one door closed, another one opened and All Might was quick to pick up where Midoriya left off. Of course, skipping
" I appreciate the enthusiasm you put into advertisement for this company but you're really over selling your work."
"What do you mean overselling!?" Compress shouted as if he was already feeling personally attacked.
All Might was stunned for a moment, he only just begun and already he's getting backlash, he hasn't even read what was even the issue. He always saw compress as one of the more composed heroes than the others, "I… I just meant that you needed to calm down on all the unnecessary things you add to-"
"Unnecessary?" Compress interrupted again, "You call my performance unnecessary!? Well I never!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Compress, League of Villain's straight man, Marketing, Age 32:
"I take all kinds of shit everyday from these fuckers because I like to keep a level head in most situations, let a sleeping dog lie. But if anyone ever fucks with my performance, it's unforgivable! I'll tear off another person's arms if they ever speak ill of my work."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"N-no not that your work is unnecessary, just that some of the things you put in your work aren't… needed but we appreciate it! The only issue is that the expenses are getting quite high for it." All Might calmly explained.
Shimmering down from his original outburst Compress unlike the other was more willing to hear him out, "Give an example."
All Might shuffled through the papers Midoriya had left for him before replying, "Well for starters, there was that time you tried to convince a company to do a collaboration with us to boost our publicity by sending the CEO a pure gold ring as a gift."
"You want us to make a good impression on them or not? A dazzling proposal will always stick in a person's mind and never fail to interest them."
"Apparently a free $11k gift wasn't interesting enough."
"His lost, doesn't know what he's missing."
"And we're $11k we're not getting back," All Might mumbled with a sweat dripping down his face, "There was also the time where you wanted to get a professionally done ice sculpture for an event we hosted."
"What's wrong with that?"
"It was at a Kindergarten… for kids."
"Just because they're young doesn't mean they can't appreciate art!"
"They're 5, a giant poster would've been just as effective at a fraction of the price. It doesn't take much to impress children."
"I think the youth deserves quality work not some oversaturated product, they have standards as well."
"Just," All Might had to take a moment to sigh, "Just go easy on the expensives, ok? People can still enjoy something with a rough edge."
Sucking in his teeth at his boss Compress gave of reletaunt, "Fine," finally showing some level of collaboration the office sorely needed.
"Speaking of expensives," All Might says turning his attention to the employee that a lot of these issues stem from, "...Tomura."
"Sup?" Was the muffled reply the lazy Millennial gave, after quickly losing interest in the topic he had preoccupied himself with a couple of the donuts brought in, "Oh right, you gotta tell me what my costly deed is. Alright come on let's get it over with, I got scrims to attend to soon so out with how I'm dipping my hand too deep into your pot of gold."
…
"You are quite literally the most detrimental member to this company. Not only are you the one draining the most money from this company by a wide margin, which is quite impressive since you're competing against the healthcare program, but almost every one of our financial issues somehow relates back to you. You are quite literally the root of our problems, in a company run by convicted villains." All Might says with the most straight face ever, he was stuck between amazement and disappointment like most god-fathers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shigaraki, Former League of Villain's Boss, Fiances, Age 23:
"..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twice, League of Villain's literal fodder machine, Fill-In Employee, Age 34:
"..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magne, League of Villain's Diversity Hire, Age 41:
"..."
"Holy Shit!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was an unexpected bomb of information for sure, even Dabi felt uncomfortable with how tense the air got from the dead silence. It took a few seconds for Shigaraki to actually process what was said to him, the whiplash hit him that hard, "I doubt it's that bad."
"If we combined the cost of everyone else's mistakes, it'll still be dwarfed by yours. I don't know how you manage to do that with videogames."
"Me either, you sure that's correct?"
"I'm looking at the bills you rack up right now and even then I can't believe how you manage to embezzled this much."
"I can see it," Commented Magne, "Sorry Shiggy but you are quite the compulsive spender."
Magne remembered it wasn't that long ago when she overheard a conversation involving Shigaraki's spending habits as she was preparing the perfect drink to detox with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WHO THE FUCK BOUGHT MINECRAFT 223 TIMES ON THE COMPANY ACCOUNT!?"
"One for each computer."
"SHIGARAKI, NO!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"A great sale was going on give me a break, y'all are going to look stupid once we start doing mining parties," Shigaraki quickly said to his defense.
All Might would rub his forehead, "No Tomura, we're supposed to work here not play games."
"I'm more of a Fornite guy anyways," Twice added in.
"Oh you can go fuck yourself," Shigaraki snapped directly at Twice, smacking the half eaten donut the split personality villain was enjoying out of his hand and taking the rest of the box with him as he walked out.
The once proud number 1 hero could only sigh, this wasn't the first time Shigaraki stomped out of any attempt to tell him some criticism about his attitude. While his current attitude tells a different story, Shigaraki was among the members of the league that took longer to convince to this program. In fact it was because he was so incorporative that the government, under the consant begging from All Might not to give up on him, had to add AFO to the program as a way to make him come around to it.
Which was quite literally the most perplexing day of All Might's life, one he still debates if it was worth it.
After talking about it with other members of the league it seems this habit was there long before they were captured, it was slightly assuring since it meant he wasn't purposely directing it at him but still a disheartening sight to see of his master's grandson in, "What am I going to do with that boy?"
Part of the reason he was so grateful that Midoriya became Human Resources was because then the responsibility to deal with most of Shigaraki antics didn't have to always go back to him. Saving him the strain of dealing with their very awkward relationship. His day was filled with enough headaches keeping this place alive, speaking of headaches; AFO!
Putting his hands on the scrawny shoulders of his long time rival the egotistical jackass says, "I know right, kids are so hard to manage. I remember when I first picked up the youngster, he was quite the handful himself. Y'know kids, it's time consuming to get them to act the way you envisioned."
All Might didn't respond, he was using every fiber of his being not to do something that'll get him reported to Human Resources.
"But hey, I manage to do it in less than a year!" AFO states with a grand amount of pride in his voice, "I have no doubts that the great almighty All Might~! Can inspire another millennial. Especially since he's... well you know your strange connection with the boy. I know the effects when you stick your fingers in the family matters of others," He ended his grand speech with a supportive thumbs up, "So good luck superstar."
…
"I hate you."
"I know buddy," Afo stated patting him on the back, Don't worry, I'll keep that comment from HR as our little secret. But you're paying for lunch okay~?"
…
"Let me just wrap up the meeting," All Might growled through gritted teeth, he needed a second to take a deep breath before he continued, "...Actually that's about it. Spinner promote our company then your hero during company's time, Toga stop hospitalizing the majority of our workforce so we can stop getting robbed by the healthcare system, Dabi do your fucking job, Compress please don't feel like you need to dump a entire fortune for every project you do, and Tomura… yeah."
"I'm surprised you didn't have anything to say for Twice, All For One, and me?" Magne said, "You sure you don't us to improve on anything?"
AFO gave a fake gasp, trying his best but not really to be amazed, "Are you saying we're not causing trouble for the company but are actually doing a great job"
"Financially yes, you guys are fine for now. Unless we get some new reports that says otherwise but it's unlikely. For some reason I haven't been getting certain letters as of late," All Might explains.
Twice looked away with guilt giving a soft whistles while Compress rubbed his neck awkwardly, they knew what they did.
"Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Stuff here disappears, just last week someone stole 500 pens from storage and Midoriya still doesn't have any idea who did it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All For One, Former Crime Boss of Terror, CEO's Personal Assistant Age 100+:
"It was me, I steal things all the time here. You should've seen how many quirks I stole back in the day, now I like to steal pens and paper. No reason, I just love to steal. That's why I'm sitting in All Might's office."
The villainous leader would calmly scan the desk before picking up a green colored pen and joyfully held it up so it can bathe in the light.
"Just look at this pen he got from… some woman named Inko."
He would put the pen inside the inner pocket of his suit.
"My pen now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Spooky," Was all AFO said, keeping his smug look.
"Sorry for the hold up, the meeting is adjourned. You can, hopefully, get back to work now," All Might told the group, turning around and walking off with his wonderful assistant who was whispering in his ear a great place to get some shawarma.
Almost as soon as they left Twice asked, "Anyone wanna watch a movie?"
To the unanimous answer, "Yes."
"I know this one website that streams all movies in good quality, so we can watch the most recent movies for free," Dabi suggested.
"Isn't that illegal?" Ask Compress.
Dabi would stop and look at his co-worker with a confused look, "I wouldn't be using it if it wasn't."
He saw that reaction coming, which was why he decided to just work with Spinner to get the meeting room ready for the movie screening. They were going to use the big projector there.
"Oh yeah, I wanna see that new video game movie. Let me just go call Shigaraki real quick." Nejire told the group before flying off.
"Alright y'all, I'll order the pizza," Said Magne, walking to his desk so he can use the phone. He knew exactly what to order to satisfy everyone's own personal tastes and the closest pizza place wasn't that far away. Not to mention for some reason the owner there always gives Magne the best deals.
As he passed by the door of Human Resources he wondered what had become of the two that went in a while ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toga, League of Villain's Attractive Yandere, Receptionist, Age 20:
"When Midoriya took me into his office alone I practically bursted… with excitement of course as I was sure of what was going to happen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the office Toga was seated on Midoriya's desk.
Fully clothed.
But Midoriya's head was planted firmly between her thighs. Using it, as a pillow to sulk on.
"I-i just, I just try so hard you know." Midoriya mumbled, venting his frustrations to his Secretary who was looking like she was extremely let down for some reason.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toga, League of Villain's Attractive Yandere, Receptionist, Age 20:
"My disappointment was immeasurable… and my day was ruined."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Everyone is just so much."
Toga was doing her best giving the mopey boy emotional and physical support with headpats. She wasn't getting the actions she had in mind but that doesn't mean she can't be supportive.
"There, there, it's ok."
"I just want to help them and yet they make it so hard. They're like a group of rebellious teenagers, always fighting back."
"I mean, a quarter of us aren't even older than 25. Not to mention most of us became villains because we wanted to be free from society, so us going from free, to convicts in jail, to free ex-convicts but force to work for the literal lowest parts of society we wanted to be free of is not going to be the most appealing thing."
…
"Ok this makes a lot more sense when you put it that way. This Idea was really poorly thought out wasn't it?"
"Oh yeah, though that doesn't mean it's all bad. While on the surface this is an utter dumpster fire, some good is coming out of it."
"Like what?"
"Well for starters Compress and Twice seems to be enjoying the outside world again, I bet they didn't miss being in prison. Not to mention that Magne is really appreciating being alive instead of dead and apparently in hell."
"I guess those are positives, especially if we're going by how terrible Magne describes hell to be. What about the others?"
"Wel, to tell the truth this is probably the best Spinner is ever gonna get compared to his previous life since he now has a steady job, an actual decent place to stay, and possibly a future. Shigaraki is drastically less destructive since he puts most of his energy into video gaming. Dabi is Dabi so knowing him he would've started a gang in prison, so having him outside the prison probably saved a lot of people. Not to mention that the warehouse section is apparently doing well."
"What about All For One?"
"I don't know about him, that man is straight up evil."
"Oh…."
"Can't win them all, but you can savor each victory as they come. Who knows, you might actually reform some of us."
"Yeah, yeah you're right," Midoriya now happily lifted himself off of Toga's lap, "If I can survive fighting against you guys for this long, then I can hold out working with you all for a while till you start coming around."
"Don't forget the most important thing of all, I'm here," Toga told him, planting a kiss on his forehead.
This caused Midoriya to blush, he has yet to be use to Toga's advances, "Yeah, that as well," then suddenly his phone rang and he took a moment to check the message he received, "Its Nejire, everyone is going to watch a movie in the meeting room, l-let's head over."
Sitting back further on the desk she says, "Sure, we can go after."
"After?" Midoriya repeated, tilting his head to what she meant. They had already cleared up his schedule before he began venting.
That was when Toga kicked off her shoes and lifted her legs into the air before laying her black stocking covered legs over the broad shoulders of the green haired boy.
"After," she repeated licking her lips. She was gonna relieve some of that stress she caused him earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsewhere in the office, a certain blunette was trying to talk to a gamer playing an online match. As expected it was pretty ineffective for a few minutes.
"Shigaraki." Nejire softly said.
"..."
"Shiggy look at me."
"No."
"Don't be upset, you can't take it too personally."
"I'm not."
"You're playing Overwatch… as Bastion, you only do that when you're upset and really want others to suffer."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RVC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nejire Hado, Lovable Airhead UA Graduated, Supervisor, 21:
"This was just one of his many methods he have to take out his anger through video games. Others include using a full stall team in Pokemon, playing Loki in Smite, playing True-Draco in yugioh, using Bayonetta in Smash Bros Ultimate but he usually convinces Dabi to help him hack through Nintendo's anti-cheat code so that he can play online mode with Pre-Nerf Bayonetta from Smash 4, and camping in Call of Duty. Sometimes when he really just wants to stick it to people, he'll install a lag switch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"..."
"..."
The sound of his game screen announcing that he was on a 15 kill streak echoed.
"So?"
"Shiggy, you know they have a point right. It was bothersome to some people when you also installed StarCraft on all of the office computers. It was eating the hard drive space people needed for serious work things. I was more amazed you even managed to do so within a single night."
"I was actually doing it night by night, just in case they decide to delete it off my computer. I didn't want to go through the process of reinstalling."
"You have your computer at home."
"But, I need to game on night shifts too."
"Don't worry, I'll bring over my Switch whenever you do."
Shigaraki's eyes lit up, "Really! You promise!?"
Nejire put a hand on her heart, "I promise. I recently just got Fire Emblem Three Houses, The Witcher 3, and Luigi's mansion. I'm really excited about Three Houses, I heard there's like 4 different story routes you can take that are quite unique and I already love their character design! But then again I didn't play Witcher 3 when it first came out so it'll be a great chance to see if it was worth the hype it got. Not to mention that I can't wait to see what Luigi's newest game will play like, to be honest I was always rooting for him since I was a child so this is like a high grade treat for me. I think I like them all, scratch my earlier statement, I'm excited for all three games! I might even get Astral Chain as well, I heard that was good. Oh by the way we're watching a movie in the meeting room, one of the new releases!"
Upon hearing the last part Shigaraki immediately dropped his controller and began heading over, "Why didn't you say earlier? Let's go, I wanna see that blue hedgehog movie!"
"Wait what about your online match, what about your teammates?"
"Fuck'em!"

Shigaraki, Former League of Villain's Boss, Fiances, Age 23:
"Yeah most of the world can still fuck off, Nejire is pretty cool though, she gets me and don't bog me down with rules!"

In a restaurant a decent distance away from the company the pair who were eternal rivals, that battled each others for decades in a uncountable number of brutal fights to the death where the results basically define society-
Were having a pleasant meal less than a foot away from each other.
"This is actually really good." All Might says, quite amazed at the flavours he was experiencing and taking care of doing some small talk to prevent things from being too awkward.
"I told ya, this is the best place for Swarma as well. Best thing about the underground is that people will really give honest food reviews out of fear of having a hit put on them for false advertising." AFO informed him.
"Wow, that sounds like a lot of pressure."
"Not really, I put out a few hits myself when someone bullshit me on a review. They really manage to streamline the process."
"N-no~" All Might softly says, "I meant for making a review."
"Oh… well it's their fault anyways. No one asked them to share their opinion."
The former pro-hero sighs, "Damn it All For One, there goes my happy mode."
"I thought you would be used to this by now, oh well better suck it up looks like you might have some fans." AFO states as he points to the side.
When All Might looked he saw two grown people, probably adults staring at them.
"They look familiar." All Might says, "Well one of them does."
"How so?"
"I think one of them is a hero who usually patrol in our office area. I remember seeing one of them talk to the security pair outside of the building one morning."
"You mean that animal transforming guy and long eared woman? Oh yeah those two are adorable. I think I'm remembering seeing them talk to those people before, they must be big fans of yours and must want an autograph. Though it's strange they haven't rushed over like high school girls meeting a pop singer yet?
"Either it's because they're shy or because I'm eating with one of the most infamous people in the modern world."
"Oh I'm flattered you think my reputation is that strong but," AFO made sure to clear his throat for this mocking, "YoU'Re AlL MiGhT!" Earning an annoyed look.
Eventually the stranger did come over asking for an autograph which All Might was happy to oblige.
"We were fans of yours for quite some time so we're happy we finally got to meet like this without being too much of a bother," one of them said.
"Don't worry about it," All Might humbly assured them, "I'm always glad to spark something in the future generations. Let me just get a pen, hopefully I brought one with me."
AFO was already on top of it, handing him a pen he got from his pocket, "I got you buddy."
"Thanks~" All might reply with a grunt.
"No problem, though we disagree a lot I can appreciate how you seem to inspire others. It's quite funny how we mortal beings can influence so much into our short lives. Well short for most people, I can live longer for most but you get what I mean. You can use that against me to say my influence is a cope out since I have multiple lifetimes to get things done unlike you who did it all within like what? 50 years? Man well done indeed."
All Might continued to grit his teeth, best he take whatever he says as a compliment while he can, he continue to speak as he signs them both a special message, "Well y'know, it's all in the day by day and then one day you can achieve something you dreamed for and your actions will show fruit."
"Amen. Hey youngster, you've been giving me the stink eye for a while but it has a lot more hate in it than what I usually get, who are you and do we know each other?"
The short of the two would continue to glare at the man as she hissed, "You kidnapped and stole the quirk of my friends.
"...Do you understand how little that narrows it down?"
The pair of fans just took their autograph, letting out an audible scoff before leaving.
"See, in our own ways we make our own influence." Despite the attitude given to him, AFO still talks while a smile plastered on his face.
"All For One, I-... wait a minute is this my pen!"

Deku, Young Pro Hero, Hero Resources, Age 19:
"So at the end of the day no one in the league really learned a lesson, but I'm strangely ok with that. I kinda learned today that progress in something isn't always going to be directly related to what you originally planned it to be. Sometimes what you wanted to improve don't happen at first, but that doesn't mean your efforts were for nothing. Whether I directly benefit from it or not, already there are slight improvements in the lives of the people around us. They may not be that good or overweight the bad but I guess when you're working with villains you gotta take what you can get. And what we got is a slightly better alternative then the worst they all can be doing, so I'll take this for now and hope for more improvements later. If we can somehow peacefully watch a movie together then they can definitely become working members of society."

With the movie having just finished and now the league was actually going back to work, mostly, Midoriya had just about finished cleaning up the room by himself since no one else wanted to do it and he didn't want Kurogiri the butt of every joke. They already forgot to invite him to see the movie. Just as he was about to carry out the trash he would see a familiar blue haired boy standing by the doorway with a smug look on his face.
"What?" Midoriya asked, wondering what he wanted.
"Nothing boss just wanted to talk, there's some nice CS:GO skins I want to get from the update."
Midoriya rolled his eyes, making his way through the door before saying, "Shigaraki we were pretty lenient about your spending before but now we can allow you to be so reckless with our company's money over video games. You're lucky we're so forgiving it the first time."
As the working man was about to be out of earshot he heard a line he didn't expect that shook him to his core.
"I will keep quiet about your affair with Toga."
...
Midoriya almost instantly went back into the room with Shigaraki and closed the door behind them so others couldn't hear if they passed by.
"How do you know!?" Midoriya questioned with his face bright red.
Shigaraki teased him, "I had some suspicions but it was all confirmed today when I walked by your office for a moment and heard some interesting stuff. I wonder what'll happen if people find out about such a scandalous relationship."
…
"What do you want?"
"I obviously can't spend as much as I did before, I realized how excessive that was but you can look the other way to keep some of my spending off the books right Midoriya-chan? Y'know a few changes here and there, nothing major."
"You blackmailing bastard... you got a deal," Midoriya begrudgingly agreed, he didn't like it but considering the fact that he'll most likely do it anyways, it's better if at least he has some input in when if it means a worst secret will get out.
"Awesome, I'mma go buy karambit knife skins worth 100 bucks!"
"Shigaraki no!"
"Shigaraki yes!"
