I'm going to tell you a story, and it might sound familiar. But, let me assure you, this is NOT the story of a hero, nor Ground Zero, nor Deku, nor All Might, or anyone else. It's MY story now.

My name is Tora Bakugo-Midoriya, and this is the story of how I (somehow) became the greatest hero Japan had ever known.

I ran through the crowded streets of Tokyo, hoping the hero behind me wasn't one of the Wonder Duo, in which case I'd be instantly recognized. I decided that day was the one day I'd leave the League's bar without putting on the villain getup. 'I hate these casual clothes, the one time I don't look totally ridiculous, some stupid hero recognizes me!'

Seeing as my parents are the Wonder Duo, oh so beloved by the general population, I just so happen to be the spitting image of them. Curly green hair, green eyes, and the facial structure of Katsuki Bakugo, hasn't done me much good in hiding. 'I really should dye my hair or something..' Not to mention, back when I was a UA student my face was plastered all over TV for winning that stupid Sports Festival. It's almost funny to think that at that point, I wasn't on the path I'm now running down at full speed.

I finally made it back to the bar, the new one that wasn't destroyed by All For One and All Might. Dabi looked up from his glass of scotch, seemingly unsurprised at my recognition on the streets. We made awkward eye contact, seeing as he's quite a bit older than me now, until I finally speak up.

"Do we have any damn hair dye?" I started as I walked behind the counter of the bar. "I was thinking black to cover this green mop. And I swear to whatever entity there may be, if you used the last of it you are a dead man." I shot him a menacing look to accentuate my threat.

"Calm down Bakugo Jr., there should be a bottle of dye in the bathroom. Assuming Fawna didn't hog it all," he mumbled the last part, fearful I might blow up.

I shook my head, grumbling curses as I left the room with a bottle of vodka in tow. I walked the halls of our lonely hideout, and found myself in front of Fawna's room. She and I have a rocky history, seeing as we "died" on the same mission.

We were both in Class 1A, and her parents are Koji Koda and Yui Kodai. She inherited her quirk from her dad, but she definitely isn't anything like him. She's loud, and can be vicious sometimes. Then again, I can be plenty vicious myself, so who am I to judge? Anyway, we were friends in school and even became teammates during our internships 2nd year. Everyone in the hero world thinks we're dead. I don't particularly mind people not realizing we're the same villains that have given my parents so much trouble, even though I would pay to see my dads' faces if they knew who I am.

I have an odd quirk, but it's very distinguishable. I got a sort of mix of my dad's quirk (the explosive one) and my grandma's, which means I can pretty much make shit blow up. Probably not the best quirk for a hero to have, but when I was young things were different. I don't make it a habit to use my quirk during crimes, although occasionally Fawna has been known to make birds peck out hero's eyes during getaways.

I don't want my parents to know who the villain Tiger is. Especially since she, I, was once known as the hero Yulip. I've done my best to keep my identity hidden, and I can't afford to just throw that away because of sentimentalities. I've always given 0 fucks about stupid shit like that. What's the point in holding onto stuff like that?

I have my special gear, which I made sure is very different from my old hero gear. A black and dark orange suit, it's practical and made of light, but tough, armor. I have claws on my gloves, kind of Catwoman style. I leave my mark on crime scenes, they think that's what my quirk is. The media, even the police, think that my quirk is having metal claws.

Another aspect of my costume is my mask. It covers my eyes and keeps my face protected for the most part. It's black, as expected, and I put claw marks on it.

I'm sure you're wondering why I chose to even be a villain, especially since I had it all when I was a hero trainee. I have my reasons, but a big one is corruption (like Endeavour beating his children) and the fact that after a day they gave up on looking for me. They gave up on me, so I gave up on heroes. I'm not playing heroes and villains with the Todoroki twins anymore, this isn't a game.

'I will kill Ground Zero, even if it's the last thing I do.'
