I don't own MHA. I only own OC's.

Sorry if you find any grammar mistakes. I'm still learning English because it's not my first language.

uzu i-sa: I'm glad you're liking the story and I hope you'll like the future chapters. Yes. Gareth's Quirk was inspired by the Scarlet Witch. I already have the confrontation between Izuku and Gareth planned out and all I cay right now without spoiling anything to you is that I'm really looking forward to writing it. :)


Two months have passed since the night when Gareth came across All For One and received his very own Quirk from him. It had been one month since he paid a visit to his old home and overheard his parents talking about how relieved they were the media coverage surrounding his case was dying down and how much they wished they had never birthed him. It had been one month since he made his choice of becoming a villain.

The last month had been nothing but work for the black haired boy as Gareth focused all of his time entirely on improving his abilities with his Quirk, having barely taken any time to do some of the activities he liked to do in his free before his decision to become a villain such as playing video games or baking various baked goods. He may have used his video game console a few times over the course of the last month, but his baking equipment remained untouched ever since it was brought into his room.

The black haired boy in his training grounds right now as he was in the middle of another one of his daily training sessions. He was crouching down, keeping his hands on the sides of his head as he was going through another headache caused by him overusing his Quirk at the moment. After his headache died down a few moments later, he slowly got himself back on his feet and looked at the almost ruined training dummy in front of him.

He clenched his hand after regaining his composure, feeling how it slowly started to shake in frustation. What was the reason to his frustation? The answer was quite simple. It had been about a week since he had made any real progress in improving his abilities with his Quirk. Why couldn't he make any progress since then, despise working hard when it come to improving his abilities with his Quirk.

He bit his lip so hard to the point of almost making blood spill down from it, his eyes not leaving the almost ruined training dummy in front of him. Was there something wrong with him? He wanted to achieve his goal of creating a better society for people who were born the same way as he did and he knew he was never going to achieve that if his abilities with his Quirk will remain on the same level as the are now.

He clenched his hand tighter, feeling all sort of negative emotions going through his body right now. He felt how the area around him became more darkened and blank. He lowered his gaze to the floor, feeling how his mind startied playing a sick trick on him and made him feel like a few shadowy figures formed a circle around him, their expressions showing either amusement or disappointment.

"Useless!"

"Pathetic!"

"Loser!"

"Quirkless trash!"

"Useless disappointment!"

"You'll never amount to anything!"

"You will always be worse than us!"

"Shut up." Gareth muttered to himself, hoping the voices going through his head right now will fade away. The voices didn't stop shouting various hurtful insults at him, though. He still could hear them pretty well as there was no end to them. He put his hands on the sides of his head, trying to quiet down those voices as he wanted to find a way to stop them, "Shut up. Please. Shut up..."

"Is everything alright, Gareth?" All For One's voice echoed from the TV on the other side of the room as Gareth's eyes widened upon hearing his voice call out for him, realizing his Sensei was watching him right now.

He pulled his head away from his head, pushing himself out of his thoughts. He turned to look the TV and spoke up to his Sensei, trying to sound as convicing as he could as he didn't want All For One to think taking him in was a mistake, "S-Sensei. You don't need to worry about anything." He gave him a fake smile to assure him he was fine, "Everything is fine. I just had went through another headache as I overworked myself again."

"I can see you're lying to me. I can see you're not well right now." All For One pointed out, seeing Gareth's lie without any problem, "You don't need to lie to me about how you're feeling right now. You know you can tell me anything and I won't judge you for it. Go ahead. Just tell me what's bothering you and I promise I won't judge you for it."

Gareth stared at the TV, remaining silent for a few seconds as he clenched his hands again, "I'm starting to doubt if I can do it, Sensei. I know I have to constantly improve my abilities with my Quirk if I want to achieve my goal of creating a better society for people like me and it had been about a week since I made any real progress with improving my Quirk." He lowered his gaze to the floor, feeling self-doubt rise within him. He was not going to cry. He didn't cry since the night All For One took him in two months ago and he was not going to cry today, "What if everyone was right about me? What if I really am useless? How am I even going to achieve my goal if I can't even improve my own abilities with my own Quirk..."

"Look at me, Gareth." All For One told him after a few moments of staying silent as Gareth lifted his gaze up from the floor and looked at the TV, "You're not useless. You never were useless, even before I gave you this Quirk. Don't let anyone and more importantly don't let yourself believe you're useless. Just because you believe you made no progress in the last week doesn't mean you can't do it."

"But what if I won't make any progress anytime soon, Sensei?" Gareth questioned, not lowering his gaze again as he continued to stare at the TV, "If I will stay on the level I am now and won't improve, then I won't even get close to achieving my goal as I will be easily beaten by the first opponent I will face."

"You may have not made any progress in the last week, but it doesn't mean you won't make any soon. Think of it as if it was your hobby of baking. You weren't good at it right away, right? You worked at improving your skills in this area, even when you found yourself in the moments when you felt like you can't improve further in this area." All For One said, giving Gareth an example to clarify his point as Gareth carefully listened to every word he said to him, "I and Doctor have been observing your progress since you've started your training and we can see how hard are you working on improving your skills. You have made a decent progress ever since I gave you this Quirk, even with this brief stop you are dealing with right now and I believe you will be able

"Okay." Gareth nodded in understanding, feeling better with himself after All For One's voices of comfort as he unclenched his hands. He looked at the TV with a grateful look on his face, showing All For One he appreciated what he just told him. Just like he did everytime when All For One comforted him with voices of support whenever he doubted himself, "Thank you for saying those words to me, Sensei."

"You are very welcome, Gareth." All For One responded, "Now how about you'll go back to your training and finish off the training dummy you've been dealing with before we started our conversation?"

"Of course. I'll get to it right away." Gareth nodded at him, feeling how red energy started to circle around his hands again and shifted his attention from the TV to the almost ruined training dummy, ready to finish his job.


Gareth opened his eyes as he woke up from his slumber, finding himself in one of the rooms of the place he and the rest of the League were brought in by Kurogiri's portal after All For One used one of his Quirk to activate the misty villain's Quirk. He rubbed his eyes, trying to make his vision less blurry and let out a long tired yawn shorty after opening his eyes, feeling like he could use some more sleep as he didn't felt like he good enough last sleep night.

He did his best to get a proper amount of sleep last night, just like he usually did but unfortunely for him he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, no matter how many times he tried to make himself fall asleep. He just couldn't stop thinking about the image of All Might standing over his defeated Sensei he saw on Shigaraki's monitor last night. No matter how many times he tried to get this image out of his head, it wouldn't leave his mind.

The black haired boy let out a soft sigh, feeling how the memories of last night proceeded to fly through his head as he pinched the bridge of of his nose. He couldn't help by ask himself. Why? Why did his Sensei decided to stay back in Camino Ward to fight off All Might? There was enough time for him to leave Camino Ward with him, Shigaraki, Kurogiri and the rest of the League. Why did he stayed behind only to get himself caught by the authorities as a result of that? Why?

He shook his head a few seconds later, pushing himself away from his thoughts regarding All For One, his defeat by the hands of All Might and his capture. He took his hand away from his face, having decided to find a way how to get his mind off of everything that happened last night. He got up from the floor and stretched for a bit, having decided to check on the other members of the League and to see how they were doing after what happened last night.

He pushed himself into walk, trying to find someone from the League. He didn't had to look for long as Kurogiri and Shigaraki appeared in his view several seconds later. His fellow villains didn't notice him. They seemed to be in a one-sided conversation as Kurogiri was saying something to a silent Shigaraki. The black haired boy stepped closer to them, wanting to know how Shigaraki was doing after last night as he knew the capture of All For One was as tough for him as it was for him.

"Hey." He greeted them, causing them to shift their attention to him, "Good morning to you two."

"Good morning to you too, Gareth." Kurogiri nodded at him, "How are doing after what happened last night?"

"Just as well as you can except." Gareth gave him an honest answer, not hiding how he was doing after his Sensei's capture from the smokey villain and Shigaraki, "I could barely get any sleep last night as I couldn't stop thinking about the image of All Might standing above a defeated Sensei. It's like something etched this image into my brain."

"I'm sorry to hear it, Gareth. I truly am." Kurogiri said, pity evident in his voice, "I hope you won't have much difficulty with falling asleep today as you deserve to get all the rest you need after last few days."

"You and me both. I think or rather hope I will fall asleep quickly today. Hopefully my mind will keep me awake again." Gareth nodded his head at the misty villain, "What about you? How have you been doing after you regained your consciousness? Will whatever this one hero did to you affect you in any way?"

"You don't need to worry about me, Gareth. I've been feeling perfectly fine ever since I regained my consciousness. Whatever happened to me will not have any long lasting effects on me." Kurogiri replied, "Thank you for asking me this question, though. I appreciate the concern."

"Alright." Gareth nodded in understanding and shifted his attention to Shigaraki, "What about you, Tomura-kun? How are you feeling after what happened yesterday?"

"How do you think? Like shit." Shigaraki gave him an honest answer, scratching his neck furiously as Gareth nodded in understanding, having been excepting this kind of answer from him, "Just like you, I barely got any sleep last night as all I could think about was the image of All Might defeating Sensei. The only good thing about last night is the fact All Might was forced to retire after his fight with Sensei. The Symbol of Peace is no more and everyone will see how fragile his peace was when the villains will come out of their hiding."

A saddened frown formed on Gareth's face when he spoke to Shigaraki again, "I just can't figure out one thing, though. Why would Sensei stay behind and allow himself to get caught? From what you told me last night before we parted ways and went to sleep, you told me he had more than enough time to flee Camino Ward with us."

"I don't know." Shigaraki gave him an honest answer as he truly had no idea how else he should respond to Gareth's question. His expression twisted into a saddened one behind his face-hand as his Sensei meant as much for him as he meant for Gareth, "I tried to stop him from making me reach the portal, but he didn't listen and let Magne's power drag me into Kurogiri's warp gate." He started scratching his neck quicker than he already did, leaving nail marks all over it, "I could have helped him if he didn't make me leave Camino Ward. We could have defeated All Might together and leave the scene together. There was so much we could have done to make sure he won't get caught and yet this is exactly what happened. I feel like failed him, abandoned him."

"You're not the only one. I feel like I failed him too. It was my job to make sure our mission of attacking the summer camp would succeed and yet I still missed something and the heroes somehow found out about our hideout." Gareth voiced how he felt about the situation to Shigaraki, revealing to him he felt like he failed his job as the leader of the Vanguard Action Squad in the end, "The first time I met Sensei, it was the first someone had believed in me. He was the first adult who had supported me, even when I failed at something or when I doubted myself. What are we going to do now without Sensei?"

"You shouldn't feel like that about yourself." Kurogiri cut into their conversation, making them look at him, "I understand you're saddened by what happened to Master as I know how much he meant to both of you. I'm saddened by his capture too. He did what he did, because he cares about you two and didn't want you to be captured. He has entrusted you with this duty, because he believes in both of you and knows you are capable of fulfilling our shared goal of destroying the hero society."

Gareth stared at Kurogiri for a few seconds, allowing himself to process his words before nodding his head at him, "You're right, Kurogiri. Sensei may have been captured, but we are still out there and still have the rest of the League to assist us in accomplish our goals."

"We're next." Shigaraki said, "Now that All Might is gone, we're going to show these heroes just how fragile his peace was and how it's not going to last long with him on retirement." He looked at Gareth and Gareth nodded at him, "Sensei's sacrifice will not go to waste. We're going to make sure of that."

Kurogiri nodded at them in a satisfied manner, gladdened how he managed to lit up Shigaraki and Gareth's mood, "I'm glad to see my words managed to get through to you."

"Thank you for saying those words, Kurogiri." Gareth looked at Kurogiri with a grateful look on his face, "I feel like this exactly what I needed to hear after everything that happened last night."

"It was no problem, Gareth." Kurogiri nodded at him.

Gareth nodded back at the misty villain and glanced at Shigaraki, "We have to go talk with the others and plan what we should do next with them. Have you talked with any of them? Do you know how are they doing after what happened last night?"

"No. You and Kurogiri are the only people I talked with since I woke up." Shigaraki shook his head as Gareth nodded in understanding, "I haven't seen any of them since I left the room last night shorty after you did. Just like you, I needed to be alone for a bit after watching how All Might defeated Sensei. I needed to let out some anger too."

"I see." Gareth nodded in understanding. From Shigaraki's words, he assume what was the state of the room the blue haired young man had slept in last night. He shifted his gaze to Kurogiri a second later and looked at him questioningly, "What about you Kurogiri?"

"I talked with a few of our associates before I went to talk with Shigaraki Tomura." Kurogiri responded, "All of them seem alright, considering the circumstances. None of them received any major injures. Weaponsmith has displayed worry for you, Gareth when I spoke with her."

Gareth nodded his head at him, making a mental note to talk with Origami and apologize to her the next time he will see her. Origami tried to approach him last night shorty after he saw the image of All Might standing over his defeated Sensei to comfort him after she saw how he reacted to it. He completely ignored her attempts at comforting him, though as stormed out of the room into another room where he spent the rest of the night, wanting to give himself some alone time to process everything.

Not wasting any time, Gareth, Shigaraki and Kurogiri pushed themselves into run towards the room where the rest of the League should be right now, with the latter leading the former two towards it. The three villains reached their destination a few seconds later and Kurogiri pushed the door open. The smokey villain walked into the room as Gareth and Shigaraki followed him into the room.

Gareth and Shigaraki looked around th room, allowing to see around the room to see what the rest of the League was doing right now. Origami, Toga and Magne were talking with each other about something, Dabi had his hands in his pockets and was leaning against the wall, Twice was smoking a cigarette, having slightly taken off his mask to uncover his mouth, Spinner was playing a game on his phone and Mustard and Mr. Compress were talking with each other about something. The members of the League stopped what they were doing the moment they saw the door to the room open and saw Shigaraki, Gareth and Kurogiri step into the room.

"Look who finally decided to show up." Dabi said as he set his eyes on Shigaraki and Gareth, "I was beginning to think you might have died in there."

"Shut up." Shigaraki said, annoyed by his comment, "I don't die easy."

"Gareth." Origami called out for Gareth the moment she set her eyes on him, concern for him evident in her voice as Gareth looked at her and saw her looking at him with a worried look on her face, "Are you okay?"

Gareth looked at her with an assuring look on her face, "Yes. I'm okay. I'm sorry for acting the way I did when you tried to comfort me. I just needed to be left alone for a bit. I should have just tell you this instead of storming out without a word."

Origami looked slightly taken by suprise by his apology, "I-It's okay. You don't have to apologize."

"Are you sure you're okay, Gakkun?" Toga wanted to be sure, gesturing towards the darkened corners Gareth had gotten under his eyes from his lack of yesterday last night. She wouldn't worry about it if it was herself as she had the darkened corners under her eyes for as long as she could remember, unlike Gareth who must have gotten them last night, "You don't look okay."

"Yes. I'm sure." Gareth reassured them, "I just didn't got much sleep last night. I'll be as good as new tommorow. You'll see."

"Okay." Origami replied, remaining worried for him, "If you say so."

Dabi took his hands out of his pockets and crossed them, "So what are we going to do now?"

"Execellent question, Dabi." Mr. Compress nodded in agreement as he looked between Shigaraki and Dabi, his mask hiding the curious look he had on his face right now, "I believe you two have already come up with a plan on how to handle this situation."

"We're going scatter for a little bit since." Gareth replied, "From what the old hero who accompanied All Might told us last night, the authorities and heroes know everything about us as they dug up everything there is to know about us or at least everything they need to know about us. Try to lay low and try to avoid getting the authorities attention on you."

"Don't get lazy, though." Shigaraki added, "We might be needing to lay low for now, but it doesn't mean we should get lazy. Keep your eyes open for new potential recruits. With the loss of Sensei, we'll be needing more recruits than ever to compensate for his loss. Each of us will be given enough money to keep yourself feed and to make sure you will be able to find yourself a place to stay while laying low."

"I see." Mr. Compress nodded in understanding, "Very well. I'll show the authorities how a real magican can hide from them."

"Giran will have his hands full." Spinner stated before letting out a sigh, "I wish I could go back to my old flat to lay down there, but I doubt it will be safe for me to get back there if I don't want to get caught."

Toga looked up at Magne questioningly, "Can I and Origami-chan stay with you Big Sis Magne?"

"I wish I could say yes, Toga-chan but I don't think you will and Origami-chan will be able to stay with me." Magne replied, "You see. There's one friend of mine I've been wanting to visit for quite some time right now and I don't think it will be safe enough to travel all the way to where she is living with all of us after what happened last night. "

"I see." Toga looked at her with a mixture of understanding and disappointment, "Tell her I and Origami-chan said hi, whoever she is."

Magne smiled at her and nodded, "I will."

"I wish I could be any help to you, but my hideout is too small to fit more than one person." Twice said to Toga and Origami in a regretful tone, throwing the cigarette butt on the floor as he covered his entire face with his mask again, "Find your own hideout! Do I look like a charity to you?"

Mustard shifted his gaze between Origami and Toga and let out a sigh before speaking up to them, "Fine. The two of you can stay at my old hideout. It has four rooms so it should be large enough to fit all four of us."

Toga shifted her gaze to Mustard and smiled at him, "Thank you Hiroto-kun! See you can be nice when you need to."

"I'll take that as a compliment so I won't change my mind." Mustard responded, pulling out his phone, "I'll have to call Giran and inform him I'll be going back to my old hideout for the time being. Hopefully he didn't gave it to someone else after I left it otherwise we will have to come up with something else."

Toga watched Mustard walk out of the room before turning to look at Gareth, "What about you Gakkun? Hiroto-kun said his old hideout has four rooms so you will be able to stay here with us. Will you join us or will you stay with Tomura-kun and Kurogiri?"

"I don't really know." Gareth replied, rubbing the back of his head as he titled his head to look at Shigaraki and Kurogiri with a questioning look on his face.

"Go with them if you want to." Shigaraki told him, "If I will need you come to me to discuss our future plans or have a job for you or any of these brats, I'll contact you and have Kurogiri bring you to me."

"Alright." Gareth nodded at him and shifted his gaze back to Toga and Origami, "I'll be staying with you, then."

"Great! It will be so great to have all four of us stay together in one place." Toga smiled. She shot Origami a teasing look as she elbowed her, "Right, Origami-chan?"

Origami slightly moved away from Toga to get her to stop elbowing her, failing to notice the teasing look her friend just gave her, "Yeah."

Mustard walked into the room a few seconds later, causing Gareth, Origami and Toga to look at him. He returned their gazes and nodded at them, "I just finished talking with Giran. He said no one is staying at my old hideout at the moment so we can stay there to lay low."

"Great!" Toga's smile grew wider at the information as she wrapped her arms around Origami in an excited manner, "I'm so excited all four of us will be staying there together?"

Mustard raised his brow, "Four of us?"

"Yes." Toga nodded in confirmation, "Gakkun will be joining us."

"I see." Mustard nodded in understanding and shifted his gaze to Gareth, Shigaraki and Kurogiri, "By the way, Giran said he'll be contacting you in a few minutes to talk through a few stuff with you after I finished talking with him about me getting me a place to stay at my old hideout."

"Very well. Thank you for telling us, Mustard." Kurogiri nodded at him and glanced at Gareth and Shigaraki, "I think we should go into a separate where will be able to discuss the things Giran wants to discuss with us."

"Yeah." Gareth nodded in agreement and shifted his gaze between Origami, Toga and Mustard, "I'll be back as soon as we will finish our talk with Giran."

"Once we will be back, give the location of your old hideout and I'll transport you to it right away." Kurogiri added as Mustard nodded at him.

"I'll get going. I need to find myself a place to crash in tonight since unlike the gas brat I dont have a place to stay in." Dabi said as he moved away from the wall he was leaning against and started to walk towards the exit from the room. He walked out of the room and was followed by Gareth, Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Shigaraki, Gareth and Kurogiri headed towards the nearby free room room to talk with Giran in private as Dabi headed towards the exit from the hideout.

As they continued to make their way to the separate room where they were going to talk with Giran through the phone, Gareth clenched his hand and held it out towards Shigaraki. Shigaraki looked at Gareth's outstretched fist, knowing what to do next as they already had this kind of situation before. He clenched his right hand and bumped Gareth's fist, exchanging a fist bump high-five with the black haired boy.


Gareth looked around himself, trying to get a better understanding of his new surroundings as he followed Mustard through the opened door of the hideout Kurogiri had brought him, Mustard, Origami and Toga to after Mustard informed him where it was. If Gareth was honest with himself, he was pleasantly suprised by how this hideout looked it when he set his eyes on the hideout he used to stay in before joining the League after arriving in front of it through Kurogiri's portal as it didn't look like a hideout a villain would use to hide themselves from the authorities.

After deciding to stay in Mustard's old hideout for the time the League will lay low, he was excepting to see something close to the old poor looking motel he and Origami stayed in on the night they've met. He wasn't excepting this hideout to look so normal. It looked like a regular house a regular person would stay in after coming back from either a long day of work or school.

"Welcome to my humble hideout." Mustard's voice pushed Gareth out of his thoughts regarding the hideout he will be staying in from now on with Mustard, Origami and Toga. The black haired boy looked at his fellow villain in front of him as he walked further into the hideout. Toga followed him and Mustard as Origami stopped next to the opened door, "It was serving me well as a hideout before I joined the League."

Gareth stared silently ahead of himself at Mustard, nodding his head at his words to show his understanding of them as Origami closed the front door to the hideout after making sure each member of their little group was inside the hideout before following the rest further into the house. She followed her villains for a few more seconds and reached a doorway leading to what she seemed to be the living look at the first glance.

She saw Gareth standing in front of her as soon as she reached the doorway. She took two more steps and stopped next to him, seeing the black haired boy was looking around himself to get a better understanding of his new surroundings. She followed his example and looked around herself, wanting to get to know the place she will be staying in for now on for the unknown amount of time.

The dark green haired girl looked ahead of herself a few seconds later, having stopped herself from looking around the room as she didn't have to look around for any longer. The entire place looked like a regular living room you'd see in a house for the most part. The furniture were old from the looks of them and were covered in dust, having not been cleaned since Mustard left his hideout to join the League and the TV wasn't new either, but it wasn't anything to complain about as the living conditions were actually quite similiar to the ones they had back at their old hideout for the most part.

She pushed herself into walk and walked up to the couch, sitting down on it as Gareth followed her and took his seat next to her, having just finished looking around the living room himself. Mustard glanced at them, sitting on the other end of the same couch as Toga circled around the room and looking around it with curiosity in her eyes, acting like a curious cat.

"This place looks normal." Gareth broke the silence between them, voicing what he thought about the hideout to Mustard, "More normal than I thought to be honest. I was excepting to see something more abandoned looking like the bar or something poorly looking like the motel I once stayed in with Origami."

"Yeah." Mustard nodded in confirmation, setting her eyes on the black haired boy, "This is why I choose this place the last time I needed to lay low. This house looks normal to the normal eye and doesn't raise any suspicion.

"Do you think we'll be able to stay in this place without getting detected by the authorities?" Origami asked, "It's not like I'm saying this place is a bad hideout or anything. It's far from bad actually. It's just you were alone when you stayed at it and now there's four of us staying here. I just want to be sure as I don't want us to go through any Camino anytime soon."

Mustard shifted his gaze to her and nodded in confirmation, trying to decrease Origami's concern a little, "Yes. I'm sure about this. This is where I hid after what I pulled off during my junior high graduation and as you can see, I'm not behind bars right now. I don't think the risk of this place being raided has increased just because there's more people staying here this place. You have nothing to worry about."

"Besides." Gareth added, wanting to say something to calm Origami down a bit, "If we see anyone getting suspicious about us and this place, I'll just contact Kurogiri and tell him to get us out of here."

"Okay." Origami nodded at them, showing them her understanding of their words. She looked at them, especially at Mustard with an apologetic expression on her face, "I just wanted to be sure."

"You have nothing to apologize for." Gareth responded, "There's no harm in making sure the place we will be staying from now on for the unknown amount of time will be safe enough to keep us from getting captured."

Origami nodded at him, her apologetic look fading away from her face, "Okay."

Gareth shifted his gaze from her to Mustard and asked, "How did you come across this hideout in the first place? Did you came across it on your own or did Giran took you here?"

"Giran took me here when I needed a place to lay low after what the stunt I pulled out during my junior high graduation." Mustard replied, "I wanted to use a place with a working electricity as a hideout, because I wanted to know how frequently was my face shown in the media as I wanted to know if it will be safe enough for me to walk on the streets without having to look over my shoulder every five seconds to see if I was recognized or not."

"How do you even had Giran let you stay in a place with electricity, Hiroto-kun?" Toga asked, having just walked out of the rooms in the hideout as she walked over to the couch and leaned against it, "In all the times I have knew him he never let me stay in a place with a working electricity."

"I just paid him well." Mustard responded.

Toga titled her head in a curious manner, "Where did you get the money from? Did you used your Quirk to rob a bank or something?"

"No." Mustard shook his head, "I got it from my own pocket. I was saving some money for an emergency when I was a normal citizen and I felt like having to hide myself from the authorities catching me was the emergency I was saving this money for. I also used some of the money they were sending me whenever they were on a business trip. How do you think I was able to afford a gun and a gas mask for myself too?"

"Your parents?" Gareth raised his brow at the mention of Mustard's parents. He looked at him with a slightly sympathetic look on his face, "Was there something wrong with them?"

"No. My parents were decent whenever they were around. Everyone else was the problem. Not them." Mustard replied, his expression twisting into a solemn one as Origami and Gareth nodded in understanding, not pressing further as they realized it was a sore subject for Mustard from the expression that formed on his face when he uttered those words.

"...What about you Toga-chan?" Origami broke herself out her silent state, wanting to change the subject of the conversation as she shifted her from Mustard to Toga, "What do you think about this place? You haven't actually told us this, yet."

Toga smiled at her fellow villains, showing them how much she was gladdened they will be staying in this hideout, "I love it! It will be like a one large sleepover for all of us! You have no idea how long has it been since I had a sleepover with my friends!"

Mustard raised his brow at her, "Sleepover?"

Toga shifted her gaze to him, her smile not leaving her face, "Yes. You've never been on a sleepover before, Hiroto-kun?"

Mustard shook his head, "No..."

Toga nodded her in understanding shifted her gaze from him to Gareth and Origami. She looked between them, not giving Mustard a chance to finish speaking as she asked them, "What about you two?"

"No." Gareth shook his head as Mustard rolled his eyes at Toga's interruption. There was one time when he and Izuku planned a sleepover at Izuku's place when his parents were on a business trip, but nothing came out of those plans in the end as his parents ended up going back early.

"I never was on one." Origami shook his head as soon as Gareth gave Toga his answer. It's not like she wasn't interested on going on a sleepover. It's just no one had ever invited her to one because of the way everyone at her school viewed her because of her past.

"Do we really have to pull off this sleepover crap?" Mustard asked, letting Toga know he was not a big fan of the idea, "We're staying in this hideout to lay low. Not to act like we're some kind of pyjama sisters."

Toga shifted her gaze to him and nodded with a smile on her face, "Yes. It will be a perfect way to take a breath and relax after Camino." She shifted her gaze back to Gareth, "I'm sure all of us need it after Camino." Gareth blinked a few times, feeling like the last part was directed right at him, "Think about how much fun we're going to have Hiroto-kun. We'll eat..."

"There's not any food here." Mustard cut her off, "I made sure to take all the food there was left in the fridge before I left for my interview with Shigaraki. Even if there would be any food left in the fridge, it would be spoiled at this point anyway."

"Right. We don't have anything to eat." Gareth nodded his head at the matter of the food being brought up by Mustard, this matter having not crossed his mind until now, "Someone should go tommorow morning to the closest store and buy us some food and water supplies. The money Tomura-kun gave us before we parted ways should be enough to keep all of us fed for long enough."

"I'll do it." Toga immediately volunteered to do the task of getting them some food, "I'll leave our hideout in the early morning. There shouldn't be many people in a food store at this time of the day."

"Except maybe old ladies who are looking for a promotion." Mustard pointed out, "Just try not to get noticed by anyone in the store as I don't have any other hideout we could stay in if this one will be raided."

"You have nothing to worry about, Hiroto-kun. I have a good reason to why I told Gakkun he'll learn how to blend in with the crowd in no time with me around." Toga reassured him, "I'll make sure to get everything we need not to starve to death. I'll get some popcorn for us too!"

"Popcorn?" Mustard raised his brow at the mention of this particular snack, "What the hell would we need popcorn for?"

"For the movie we will watch tommorow of course!" Toga responded, reminding Gareth and Origami about the plans of having the said movie night she made, "I was planning to show Gakkun and Origami one my favourite movies back at old hideout after we would complete our mission of making Bakugo switch sides, but those plans were interrupted by the heroes raiding us. With this hideout having a working TV, we won't have to postpone it for any longer and you Hiroto-kun will be able to join us!" She giggled excitedly, "You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to see your reaction to this!"

"One of your favourite movies?" Mustard deadpanned at her, already suspecting what kind of movie it will be, considering it was one of Toga's favourite ones, "Okay. You can sign me out."

"Why?" Toga asked, slightly disappointed by his answer. She leaned closer to him, a slightly teasing look on her face replacing her disappointed one, "Don't tell me you're afraid of slasher movies?"

"No." Mustard shook his head, rolling his eyes at the way she looked at him right now, "I just find them boring as most of them are the same and follow the same formula. There's a group of annoying people and a serial killer stalking them. In the end, only one of those annoying people survives and fans wait for another boring sequel."

"This is where you're wrong, Hiroto-kun." Toga corrected him, an excited smile growing on her face, "This movie has recently stood out among the rest modern slasher movie for one particular reason. It's why one of my favourites in the first place."

"Really?" Mustard crossed his arms, "What made it stood out from the rest boring slashers?"

Toga smirked at him, "You'll find out if you'll watch it with us tommorow, Hiroto-kun."

"Of course." Mustard rolled his eyes, "I should have excepted this kind of answer."

Toga titled her head to the side in a curious manner, "Should I take this a sign of you joining us during our movie night, after all?"

"No." Mustard shook his head.

Toga looked at him with a slightly disappointed look on her face, "Aww. Why not? You'll love the movie once you'll watch it! You'll see."

"Toga-chan. Can I ask you something?" Origami asked as Mustard once again rolled his eyes at Toga insisting on him joining her, Origami and Gareth during their movie night tommorow.

Toga shifted her gaze from Mustard to Origami, "What is it, Origami-chan?"

"What is the title of this movie?" Origami asked her the question she had on her mind, "You never told me or Gareth it since you planned to show it to us."

Toga put her finger on her lips, her excited grin not leaving her face, "It's a suprise, Origami-chan. You'll find out when we will watch it tommorow."

Origami nodded in understanding, "Alright."

Toga shifted her gaze from Origami to Gareth who haven't said anything in their discussion regarding the slasher movie they will watch tommorow, "What about you, Gakkun? Are you scared about the movie we will watch tommorow."

"Not really to be honest." Gareth responded, "I didn't want many scary movies in my life as I wasn't really interested in the genre. I played Resident Evil and Outlast on my old console in my home, though as the guy I bought it from gave those two games along with a few others in addition."

Toga titled her head to look at him at the mention of those two games, "You played Resident Evil, Gakkun? What about Village? Have you played it when it came out?"

Gareth nodded in confirmation, "Yes. I played in the breaks of my training with Sensei shorty after it came out."

Toga leaned closer to him with an interested look on her face, "What was your favourite part of it? My favourite part about about it was whenever Ethan had his hand cut off. Watching all this blood pour out of his hand whenever he had his hand cut off was just so enjoyable. It makes me excited just thinking about it~."

"Of course." Gareth nodded, not really suprised by this part being her favourite part as she spent enough time with her since she joined the League to except this kind of answer from her.

"I knew you'd understand why I liked those parts of the game so much." Toga said, gladdened by the understanding Gareth showed her, "I don't understand why Shuichi-kun seemed so disturbed by it when I told him about this."

Mustard rolled his eyes, sarcasm evident in his voice as he spoke, "Yeah. I wonder why."

Origami looked at Toga with a suprised look on her face, "I didn't know you liked video games, Toga-chan."

"I'm not into gaming as much as Gakkun, Tomura-kun or Shuichi-kun are, but I play a video game every once in a while whenever something that interests me comes out." Toga explained as Origami nodded in understanding.

"I don't know about you guys." Mustard said, getting up from the couch as Gareth, Origami and Toga looked at him, "But I think you should choose your rooms and call it a day. It will start getting dark soon, after all."

"You're right." Gareth nodded in agreement, "I barely got any sleep last night. I could use a good night of sleep today."

"Make your choice quickly." Mustard turned away from his fellow villains, beginning to walk towards the bedroom close to the bathroom, "Just to let you know. You can't choose the room close to the bathroom since I slept in it the last time I was staying in this hideout and I intend to go back to sleeping there during this stay in this hideout."

Gareth looked between Toga and Origami after watching Mustard enter his room, "I think we should take a look at the rooms before we will choose who will sleep in which room."

"Yeah." Origami nodded in agreement as Gareth got up from the couch and turned towards the closest free room.

"I don't think that's necessary, Gakkun." Toga told Gareth, stopping him from pushing himself into walk.

Gareth raised his brow at her, "What do you mean, Toga-chan?"

"I took a look into each room when you were talking with Hiroto-kun and the rooms aren't different from each other." Toga explained, "We won't have to take a look into each one as everyone will end up getting the same room in the end."

"I see." Gareth nodded in understanding, "Good thing you told us. At least we'll choose who will sleep in which room quicker."

"No problem." Toga smiled at him as she turned away from him and started to walk towards the room next to her, "Just to let you know. I'll be taking this room for myself. If you'll need me, you know where to look for me."

"Okay." Gareth replied as Origami silently nodded, making a mental note of where Toga was as there was something she wanted to talk about with her later. He looked down at Origami as Toga walked into her new room, closing the door behind her, "Let's go. Let's see what we can except from our rooms."

"Can you give me a second before we'll choose our rooms if that's okay with you?" Origami asked, getting up from the couch, "There's one thing I want to quickly check in this hideout."

Gareth nodded at her, letting her check whatever she wanted to check, "Sure. Go ahead."

Origami nodded at him in a grateful manner and headed into the kitchen, wanting to check something in there. Gareth raised his brow, wondering why Origami would go into kitche out of all places in the kitchen. He shrugged his shoulders a second later, knowing he'll just have to ask her when she will come back to him a few moments later. He saw Origami walk out of the kitchen a few moments later. The dark green haired girl nodded to herself as she started to walk towards him.

"What did you needed to check in the kitchen?" He asked Origami as she walked back to and stopped next to him.

"Just one thing. It's nothing important." Origami explained, not wanting to go into details for her own reasons as Gareth nodded in understanding. She rubbed the back of her head and shifted her gaze between the two free rooms she and Gareth had to choose from, "So. Which room do you want for yourself?"

"I'm not really going to choose. Take whichever room you want." Gareth replied, looking between the two free rooms in the hideout, "I'll be fine with whatever room I will get. Toga-chan herself said the room aren't much different from each other so there is not much choice."

"Okay." Origami nodded and titled his head to look at the closest free room as Gareth looked in the direction she just looked towards, "So I guess this will be my room during our stay here."

"Alright." Gareth replied and pushed himself into walk towards the door to Origami's new room, "Let's see how it looks like."

Origami gave him another nod and followed him to the door to her new room. She stopped in front of it upon reaching it a second later and grabbed the door handle. She pushed the door open, allowing herself and Gareth to take a good look at the room. The room didn't look like anything special. A bed was in the corner of it and few dust covered furnitures were splattered across it. Gareth and Origami exchanged glances after taking a quick look at the room, realizing the room looked pretty similiar to their old rooms in their hideout before their stuff was put in them.

The dark green haired girl looked away from Gareth a second later and set her eyes on the bed. If she was honest with herself, it didn't look very comfortable, "I wonder if the bed is comfortable."

"It has to be because I doubt Mustard would want to stay in this hideout to lay low again if it wasn't." Gareth stated, "Even if it is uncomfortable, it's still better than sleeping on the floor like we did last night."

"Yeah." Origami nodded in agreement, stepping forward towards her new bed as she wanted to check if it was comfortable or if it was uncomfortable.

Origami walked over to the bed and sat down on it as Gareth leaned against the doorway, waiting for her to give her opinion on the bed. Origami took off her boots and put them on the floor, leaving herself barefooted. She laid down on the bed right after, placing her head on the pillow. She looked up at the ceiling and let out a soft exhale, allowing herself to test if the bed was comfortable or not.

"How's the bed?" Gareth asked her a few seconds later, wanting to know what to except from the bed in his room as he doubted it would be much different from the bed Origami was laying on right now.

Origami turned to look at him as she responded, "It's more comfortable than it looks. I don't think there will be much trouble with falling asleep on it."

"Alright." Gareth nodded and turned away from her, "I'll be heading to my room now. I'll see you tommorow."

"Okay. I'll see you tommorow too." Origami said as she got off her bed and walked over to Gareth. Gareth stopped in his tracks and looked at her questioningly, having not excepting her to leave her room, "There's something I need to talk about with Toga-chan to get me something before she will go to buy us some food and water supplies."

Gareth nodded in understanding and smiled at her, "Would it happen a steak or something else meat related?"

Origami shook her head, smilling back at him, "No. It's something else. I won't tell you what it is, though if that's okay with you."

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Gareth reassured her. Origami smiled at him in a grateful manner. The dark green haired boy walked over to the door to Toga's room and knocked on it a few times, allerting the blond haired girl someone was coming into her room.

"Hey, Toga-chan." She called out for the blond haired girl as she opened the door to her room and took one step into it. She saw Toga laying on her bed, waving her feet in the air as she played with her knife, "Can I ask you something?"

Toga took her eyes away from her knife, forgetting about the the game she was playing with it for and shifted her attention to Origami. She nodded at her, "Origami-chan. You know you don't need to ask me this whenever you want to ask me something." She looked at her questioningly, "What is it? Do you need something from me?"

"Yes. There's something I want you to get for me." Origami revealed, "If that's okay with you of course. I don't want you to force you to do anything for me."

"Of course. Anything for my bestie!" Toga replied, smilling at Origami, "What do you need my help with?"

"Could you get me a few items from the food store when you'll be shopping tommorow morning?" Origami replied as she stepped into Toga's room, closing the door behind her as she didn't want Gareth to overhear their conversation.

Gareth turned away from Toga's room, not wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation Origami and Toga were having right now as he knew it wasn't really his business. Instead of going straight into his room, he walked over to Mustard's room, having something he wanted to tell his fellow villain before he will go into his room and get some sleep.

He knocked on the door a few times, allerting Mustard he was going into his room. He grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open, seeing Mustard reaching into the first cabinet of the cupboard next to his bed. Mustard started searching the cabinet, not noticing Gareth standing in the doorway to his room as he was too focus on finding something there as Gareth raised his brow, wondering what was Mustard looking for. He got his answer a few seconds later as Mustard pulled out a notebook.

"There it is." He muttered to himself, looking at the notebook he had just taken out of the cabinet with a smile on his face, "At least not everything was lost at the League's hideout."

Gareth raised his brow at him, wondering why Mustard was so happy to see this notebook, "What is that?"

Mustard's eyes widened when he heard Gareth's question him about his notebook. He quickly put it away, trying to keep it away from Gareth's eyes and looked at him with a slightly embarassed look on his face, "I-It's nothing. Couldn't you knock before you came in?"

"I knocked on the door before I came in." Gareth told him, "You probably haven't heard it."

"I see." Mustard nodded in understanding, "I must have been too focused on something else and didn't heard it. What do you want?"

"I just wanted to say thanks for letting us stay here." Gareth expressed his gratitude to him.

Mustard quickly composed himself, trying to act like he wasn't embarassed a few seconds later, "It's nothing. You can say it's my attempt at not being an asshole towards the League and me returning the favor to Weaponsmith for her saving my ass back when we attacked the summer camp."

"If you say so. It doesn't change the fact I'm grateful you allowed us to stay with you." Gareth responded as he pointed towards his room, "I'll be going to my room. I'll see you tommorow."

"Yeah." Mustard nodded in understanding, "I'll see you tommorow too."

Gareth closed the door to Mustard's room after ending their rather short conversation, leaving his fellow alone with his business. He walked over to his room right after, hearing how Origami and Toga were still talking about something in Toga's room. He grabbed the door handle to his room and pushed the door open, allowing himself to take a quick look at the room he will be spending his night in today.

After taking a quick look around the room and seeing it wasn't much different from Mustard and Origami's room, he walked over to the cupboard next to the bed. He titled his head at his mask which had been attached to his shoulder for the entire day. He took it off his shoulder and put it on the cupboard, not wanting to have it attached to his shoulder when he'll be drifting to sleep.

He looked over his shoulder to look at the wardrobe on the other side of the room. He knew he won't make much use of it as all of his stuff stayed in Camino Ward and he doubted he will be having it back anytime soon if ever. He walked over to the wardrobe, making sure to take off his vest as he did so and put it inside the wardrobe. At least he won't have to search through his clothes to find it the next time he will have the need to put it on himself.

He turned away from his wardrobe a second later and walked over to his bed. He took off his shoes and placed them on the floor before reaching into his pocket. He pulled out his phone and a charged. He turned it on and checked if anyone messaged him, seeing he didn't have receive any text messages. After checking if anyone messaged him, he plugged the charger in as he wanted to have his phone fully charged tommorow just in case if Shigaraki and Kurogiri or Giran or anyone else from the League will call him.

He put his phone on the cupboard, next to his mask after making sure it was loading and laid down on the bed he will call his own from now on. He laid his head on the pillow and made himself comfortable under the sheets. He closed his eyes and slowly drifted into sleep, hoping he will get more sleep today than he did last night as he could certainly use a good night of sleep after everything that had happened in the last few days.


Watched Wednesday. To be honest I enjoyed this show more than I thought I will. I'm definitely looking forward to season 2.

We've been given a new intro and ending for the second part of season 6 and I can definitely say the new intro is now my favourite intro out of all intros in MHA. It has so many nice visuals. The animation, the art style feeling bittersweet and perfect for what the show will feel like after the war. My favourite part in it was definitely the part with Deku and Shigaraki. I loved seeing how Tenko exploded out of Shigaraki's body and was meet with Deku.

The NieR: Automata anime recently came out and I couldn't wait for it as I'm a huge enjoyer of the game. After seeing the first episode, I can say the anime is off to a good start. The only bad thing I can say about it so far is the CGI. The visuals in the opening are beautiful and I love the puppet show ending. I'm looking forward to see them show other joke endings of the game in this.

Hope it wasn't so bad. See you in another chapter.
