"Izuku, why are you with the League of Villains?" Ururaka asks, quickly glancing back and forth between Deku and Blight.
"Well… shit," Deku says, glancing at Blight as he quickly tries thinking of a way to divert the conversation. "Umm, better question why are you working for a criminal broker."
"I told you I need money now why are you working with the LOV," Ururaka says.
"Just go into the back and explain it to her, it will probably make this easier," Blight says. "In the meantime, Kurogiri, get this equipment to the storage area."
Kurogiri nods as Deku sighs, waves Ururaka over, and takes her after knocking on the door before entering the room.
"So… we have a slight problem," Izuku (now sans mask) says to Toru and Shinso.
"What?" Toru asks.
Izuku waves over as Ururaka enters the room, causing Toru to say, "Oh shit."
"Toru? Shinso?" Ururaka says. "You're part of the LOV too."
"So… surprise," Toru says in an awkward tone.
"How did she find our base?" Shinso says in a more serious tone.
"She's apparently one of our broker's assistants, which she has so far refused to elaborate on," Izuku says.
"So I take it we partially completed the mission," Toru shrugs.
"Apparently so," Izuku says.
"Technically, we don't know when she became a villain. So it may just be a coincidence," Shinso says.
"What mission?" Ururaka asks.
"You'll figure that out later," Izuku says. "Now more importantly, when did you become a villain and why?"
"I started doing this as a part-time job a few years ago since, as I told you, I need money," Ururaka says.
"Becoming a villain as a part-time job… that's unusual," Toru says.
Izuku glances at Toru and takes a deep breath before starting, "So before we begin I'm going to start with this. Are you going to tell the teachers at UA about the LOV?"
"If I did that then I also have to explain to them my part-time job so no," Ururaka says.
"Okay good," Izuku sighs in relief. "In that case, care to join the celebration for doing so well in the tournament?"
"I don't want to intrude," Ururaka says. "Plus I think that we'll be leaving soon."
"Fair enough I suppose we'll have to throw out the Wagyu steaks and the Fugu sushi," Izuku says as he walks towards the kitchen.
"On the other hand I wouldn't want you to waste anything," Ururaka quickly says following Izuku into the kitchen.
As Izuku and Ururaka walk into the kitchen Shinso begins to walk with them but Toru puts her hand on his shoulder and says, "Don't, let him work his magic."
"His magic?" Shinso asks.
"You'll see," Toru says as she points at the TV. "Come on let's go get this place cleaned up. We don't want to seem like slobs do we?"
Shinso nods as he glances back toward the closed kitchen.
"This is what you live like?" Ururaka asks in awe as she quickly walks over and grabs some of the food from the buffet-style lineup of wagyu steaks and fugu sushi.
"Only for special occasions but most of the time we do eat food of relatively high quality," Izuku says sitting down at the table as Ururaka quickly joins him.
"This is delicious," Ururaka moans, as she takes bite after bite of the expensive food.
"You can thank Kurogiri for that he is an excellent cook," Izuku says a calm smile on his face.
"He's the misty guy who spared Thirteen right?" Ururaka asks.
"That is correct," Izuku replies, a calm smile still on his face.
"He seems like a nice person," Ururaka says as she finishes her food.
"May I recommend the Byakuya as a dessert," Izuku says.
"You managed to get Byakuya," Ururaka says in a shocked tone.
"Yes, we did," Izuku says, his smile widening slightly. "I'll go grab it for you."
Izuku walks out of the main dining area and over to Kurogiri, whispering, "Byakuya, please."
Kurogiri nods, quickly opens a portal, and grabs one out of one of the high-end restaurants that acts as a money laundering spot for AFO's criminal empire.
"Thanks," Izuku says and quickly walks back out the door.
"Here you go," Izuku says as he walks over, starts putting down the plate in front of Ururaka, gently touches her exposed hand, and activates his Memory Viewer quirk.
"Mom, Don't! We need this money," The voice of Ururaka yells in his ear.
"We can manage, and I don't want you to work for him," A voice, probably Ururaka's mother Izuku thinks, says back.
"Oh, please!" Ururaka yells. "We won't manage, we can't. Not with Dad's business going under because you won't let me use my quirk to help you!"
"We will, I promise," Ururaka's mother's voice rings out.
Ururaka scoffs, "I'll believe that the second you do."
As Izuku finishes putting down the plate he walks over back to his seat watching as Ururaka starts eating the Byakuya.
"So…" Ururaka says. "You're a villain."
"That is correct," Izuku says.
"I'm going to be honest if anyone turned out to be a spy for the League of Villains I would have put my money on Bakugo," Ururaka says.
Izuku's eye twitches nearly imperceptibly as he says, "He definitely seems like the type."
"He does," Ururaka pauses and nervously takes a sip of water before continuing. "So are you going to kill me for finding out?"
Izuku raises his eyebrow and laughs saying, "No, why would I ever do that it would ruin our reputation in the underworld for us to kill our broker's assistant."
Ururaka's face visibly gets less worried as she says, "Well that's good I didn't want to die."
"Few people ever do," Izuku replies.
"So if you aren't going to kill me why take me to a back room?" Ururaka asks.
"Two reasons. First, you nearly beat Bakugo today and that level of entertainment, especially his confusion when you went and told him about how I told you guys what he did to me, deserved more of an award than I could have given before now." Izuku pauses and takes a sip of his water.
"And the second reason?" Ururaka asks nervously.
"I'm going to give you the chance to join the League of Villains," Izuku says.
"Huh?" Ururaka says.
"You have an immensely powerful quirk if used correctly. You're an incredibly smart student based on your exam scores. You're a good liar based on the fact that UA hasn't caught you. Plus, you know how broken the current system is," Izuku says.
Ururaka pauses before saying, "Thank you for that but, and I mean no offense, I already have a job in the villain world as Giran's assistant. I don't really need another villain job."
"Technically, Giran is our direct broker so it'd be more like transferring rather than anything else," Izuku says. "Plus the benefits would be far greater than just being an assistant to a broker."
"What benefits would those be?" Ururaka asks her interest peaked.
"For one you get to destroy the current system of how quirks work so you'll be able to help avenge your brother and your parents with their failing construction business," Izuku says.
"How do you know about that?" Ururaka quickly asks.
"Oh I know lots of things," Izuku says. "Another benefit would be better food quality and stuff than you are currently getting. Mind you not on this level every day but nearly as high. We also would happily pay your parents' company for construction work for certain things."
"You would?" Ururaka asks in an astonished tone.
"Of course, we always help our members as much as possible and we always need some way to launder our money," Izuku says with a smile.
Ururaka pauses momentarily and says "I'll consider it but I need some time."
"Completely understandable," Izuku says. "However you will have to decide before you leave. After all potential recruit or not you have the ability to rat us out so preparations would need to be made if you say no and hence would potentially betray us."
"That… makes sense I suppose though I do have two questions," Ururaka says.
"As long as they are within limits I will answer them," Izuku says.
"Okay first why did you attack UA it can't have been just to scare the students so what was the purpose," Ururaka says.
"The first reason was that we wanted to see which of the students were powerful or creative enough for us to try to recruit after all we don't want weak members in our league. The second reason was to either kill or incapacitate All Might."
"I take it you didn't succeed on that last one," Ururaka says in a slightly amused tone.
"Incorrect we did succeed on that part however how we did that will be reserved for whether you join us so what's your second question?" Izuku says pretending not to notice the curiosity that lit up in Ururaka's eyes.
"I'll want to talk about that part later but for now the second question is simply. Why?" Ururaka asks.
"Why, what?" Izuku asks.
"Why did you join the League?" Ururaka asks.
Izuku's smile widens as he says, "Oh, that's simple revenge."
"Against who?" Ururaka says.
"Against society for treating the quirkless like shit for so long. Against Bakugo for his years of bullying. Against All Might for what he said on the rooftop that day. And against… well I already took revenge against him so it matters less." Izuku's smile fades into an angry snarl.
"Who's he?" Ururaka asks.
"Mom? MOM!" Izuku's past voice rings out through his head.
"Oh, I didn't realize she had a child," a man's voice rings out through his head.
"Doesn't matter," Izuku says shaking his head and snapping himself out of his memories, his smile returning in full force as he continues. "He long ago left this world and entered the inferno."
"Oh… in that case would you mind giving me some privacy while I decide," Ururaka says.
"Of course," Izuku says as he walks out of the dining area and into the main bar.
"So do we have a new member?" Nana (now sans hand on face) says.
"She's in the middle of considering my best guess is within 5 minutes she'll agree to join," Izuku says.
"Out of curiosity how much does she know about the underworld?" Nana asks turning towards Giran.
"Minimal," Giran says. "I mostly use her for transporting the heavy cargo she only figured out that I was a broker a few months ago."
"Makes sense," Nana says. "She doesn't seem the sort to pick up on things quickly."
"Don't underestimate her. She's more perceptive than she seems," Izuku says.
"Really how you figure," Nana says.
Izuku leans up close to Nana and whispers, "For one she's sitting with her ear against the door trying to see if we're going to kill her."
"Ah," Nana whispers back. "We're going to have to break that habit out of her."
"Most likely yes," Izuku whispers back.
Nana clears her throat as she loudly says, "I'm going to go grab a drink in the kitchen anyone want anything."
A loud noise that sounds like someone hitting their head in surprise comes from the main dining area.
"You want me to see her?" Nana asks.
"No," Izuku says. "Quite frankly you'd probably scare her out of wanting to join."
"I'm still the leader of the League," Nana says.
"Co-leader," Izuku replies.
"No your second in command I'm the leader," Nana says calmly.
"No we're co-leaders," Izuku says back a playful smile on his face.
"Second in command," Nana says.
"Co-leaders,"
"Second in command!"
"Co-leaders,"
"SECOND IN-"
"Do you guys not even have a proper leadership structure worked out yet?" Ururaka asks as she walks out of the dining area.
"We do it's just more fun this way," Izuku says as he and Nana quickly both look over at Ururaka.
Ururaka raises an eyebrow as she says, "Okay then anyway I've decided to join the League."
"Good," Nana says, a crazed smile lighting up her face. "It seems another member has joined the party."
"What?" Ururaka asks.
"Ignore her she's a gamer," Izuku says. "Don't worry you'll eventually get used to the phrases."
"It's not that hard to get," Nana says quickly glaring at Izuku.
"Oh, it isn't I'm just busting on you," Izuku says.
Nana's glare intensifies for a moment before she looks back at Ururaka and says, "Well in any case welcome to the team I say this is cause for celebration. Now then what type of liquor do you drink."
"WHAT!" Ururaka says. "No, I don't drink alcohol,"
Nana's eyes widen as she says, "What type of self-respecting villain doesn't drink alcohol? This is an emergency! Izuku grab one of everything. We must find what she likes."
"Aye, aye, captain," Izuku says as he walks to the bar to grab a drink.
"But," Ururaka says.
"Don't bother it's easier this way," Kurogiri says. "At least if you don't like any of them this will be your last time trying alcohol."
"Why is Izuku drinking it though isn't he underage?" Ururaka says.
"Part of the training I had," Izuku calls out. "I can have a blood alcohol content as high as 5% without feeling any negative side effects, well except for a destroyed liver but that's why healers exist."
"Jesus that's more than 5 times the amount of alcohol that would kill a normal person," Ururaka mumbles.
Izuku shrugs as he says, "Don't worry we're giving you one sip of everything not enough for you to feel any negative effects besides potential burning taste buds because the aftertaste of vodka is not good if you have it right after a beer I'll tell you that."
"Isn't it illegal to drink in Japan under the age of 20," Ururaka says.
Everyone looks over at Ururaka as Nana walks over to her and says, "You are joining a league of villains and you're concerned about alcohol? Lighten up kid you'll be seeing far worse in this league."
Ururaka pauses and nods slightly as she walks over to the bar and takes to try the drinks.
"So then," Izuku says after an hour of playing video games with Ururaka. "Now that you're an official member of the LOV there is one more important thing you have to do."
"What's that?" Ururaka asks.
"Pick a villain name of course!" Nana says. "Otherwise there is no way to identify each other on the battlefield without giving away our identities."
"Says the lady who didn't have one before I pointed out you didn't," Izuku snickers.
"Do you have any recommendations on how to pick one?" Ururaka asks.
"I went with something with a personal meaning while she just looked up the first synonym of her quirk's name so I would say just do whatever you feel will fit you best," Izuku says.
Ururaka sits and ponders for a few seconds before saying,
"Call me Infinity."
Author's Note: Hello, everyone, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I love chapters that are mainly dialogue, don't you? They are so much easier to read (and write) and they allow for me to take a break without falling super far behind on my schedule. Also, the person who left not one but 2 reviews on my work I thank you for pointing out the thing with Shote's name and I want you to know that when I use that later to make Endeavor an even worse parent in flashbacks, yes I am using your idea and I credit it to you now. Anyway, please feel free to review the piece if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on how I can write better until next time. I hope you all have a great day.
