I never thought I'd get here of all places. I never thought I'd be kidnapped. I never thought I'd have to be afraid of my Quirk. I never thought I'd have to be afraid of what I might do.
There I was, sitting in the closet of the hideout. Where? I didn't know. They were smart enough to keep the location hidden from me. I was in a small closet at the moment. Call it my "time-out" area. Let's just say I did things I shouldn't have.
Based off of the increased footstep speed outside of the closet, we were going to another raid, and soon. My heart sunk. I got that the League of Villains were... villains... but there are better ways to do things! I was pretty sure I'd be brought this time and I know it'd take a toll on me, especially if the heroes fought back. I mean, I'd want them to fight back but I wouldn't want them to see me as a villain too.
A pair of footsteps reached my door. My heartbeat quickened, wondering if I'd be taken out for a different reason than to go on a mission, but I knew what was going to happen. I shut my eyes, waiting for the blinding light. As the door opened, I could see the light behind my eyelids.
"Get out." A voice said.
It was Shigaraki. He was the angriest about the "incident." He was also the one who punished me for it. Many patches of my skin would never be the same because of his hands.
I got out of the closet clumsily, being slightly dragged out by Shigaraki. Everyone stopped for a little and each had a short stare at me. A traitor, a rebel, a child. Words describing me were probably filling their minds. Two days ago, I ran away from the hideout. It was stupid but I heard about the chance of a raid and so I fled. I knew I could use my intelligence of the League to stop the raid before it happened. I had already gathered what their names were, their Quirks, and distinguishing features and personality traits. It got hard to keep things from me after they had brought me on a few missions. I was in the USJ attack and got to meet the Vanguard group along with a few others Shigaraki had recruited. I thought he had wanted to keep me a secret but maybe a fifteen-year-old girl who they kidnapped wasn't a good thing to keep from your employees.
Anyway, I didn't know my way around so Mr. Compress was able to catch up to me quickly. It wasn't fun when I got back.
Everyone was geared up for the raid. They had all their costumes on and weapons ready. Toga, probably my best friend, gave me a toothy grin. People seem to think that Villains are all about destruction and chaos, but sometimes it so much more than that. Villains are still people. Something happened to them whether it was by outside or inside influence that caused them to insist on the change of society. I had actually grown quite close to each of them. We were our own family. But my attempted escape put a rip in my relationship with them. Ever since that USJ attack, things have been different.
Suddenly, a large cloak was tossed to me.
"Wear this, Asuga-chan!" Himiko said. "And try to get a little bloody so I can suck it up later!" I gave Himiko a small smile. Though it was odd, drinking people's blood was a sign of affection with Himiko.
"You know the plan, right?" Shigaraki said, gesturing to Dabi.
"Yeah," Dabi answered, "how could I forget after how the many times you've reminded me?"
"Don't get cocky." Shigaraki warned. "Also, there's something we need to address." He pointed at me but, despite my own staring, he didn't look at me. "The girl." He wouldn't even call me by my name.
"Right. She'll be with Spinner and Magne." Dabi said. "Maybe she can put a dent in the heroes. Perhaps she'll get a few kids mixed in too." He looked at me with eyes that showed just how serious he was.
"Kids"?! I thought there were only heroes this time. I don't want to hurt any other children!
Then I remembered from the USJ. The UA kids! They were my age! I didn't know how I was going to handle that, nor how they were going to handle me.
"Alright," Kurogiri finally said, bringing me from my thoughts, "good luck. I'll be sure to pick you all up five minutes after your signal. You have your responsibilities. Good luck." He opened a warp gate and we started stepping through.
GO! I screamed in my head. Run while you have the chance!
I didn't though. My feet weren't moving backward. They weren't escaping. They weren't even frozen in place. No, they were casually walking towards the warp gate. They were heading towards murder and away from freedom.
As I was about to step through, a hand grabbed my arm and turned me around. Shigaraki was there staring at me straights in the eyes.
"You do anything stupid out there and I will make sure to take care of you myself. It's always so annoying to have to deal with lugging you around." I could feel all four of his fingers on my skin with his fifth ready, but I wouldn't dare to flinch.
Then, I turned around and headed straight towards despair. Little did I know I would be moving in a direction that not even I saw coming.
