A few weeks after the events with Overhaul, they do not know about the League of Villains for a long time, it seemed as if they had disappeared into the shadows
As almost every Friday Shoto went to the hospital to visit his mother, this time he had stayed a little later than normal since he was late to see her because he had a problem leaving UA he had a little argument with one of his colleagues and that made him miss the train, he had to wait almost 30 minutes for the other to pass
After saying goodbye to her, he started walking to the nearest train station to be able to go back to the dorms, as he walked he felt as if someone was following him, he turned his head around him, the street was strangely clear, there was no one around or so he thought, he did not care and kept walking
"Look who I found"
Shoto turned his gaze to the source of the voice, it came from an alley
"I've heard that voice before" Shoto thought as he stepped back
The mysterious person gradually came out of the alley, his face burned, staples in very visible parts of his body and a psychopathic smile on his face, he pointed his right hand in the direction of Shoto and from this came a blaze of blue fire
"¡¿You again?!" Shoto got into fighting stance and pointed his left arm at Dabi
"Shoto Todoroki, ¿How bad is your memory?"
"¿W-what?"
"¿Don't you remember me?"
"Of course you do, you are the one who kidnapped Bakugo"
"You've known me before." Dabi turned off his hand and approached Shoto
"¿What do you want?! ¡If you think you will kill me without me…! "
"If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead ... Little brother"
Shoto opened his eyes confused, when he wanted to say something else it was too late because someone hit him from behind leaving him unconscious, without him realizing Toga had stood behind and hit him on the head with a metal tube
"I thought you were going to see the bird" Toga grabbed Shoto by the shoulders
"I don't trust him Toga" Dabi grabbed Shoto by the legs and they both dragged him down the alley
"¿Is he your brother? You never told me, I thought there were no secrets between us" Toga pouted
"You never asked." Dabi opened the back doors of a black truck, grabbed a chain, and tied Shoto's arms and legs. "I have a good feeling, this idiot will join us."
Dabi sat in the driver's seat and Toga sat on Shoto's face while holding a knife to his throat in case he woke up and fought, which he didn't do as he hit him very hard, they arrived at the League's new hideout on which was an abandoned building
After about 40 minutes Shoto woke up and saw that in front of him was the leader of the entire League: Tomura Shigaraki, the guy with gray hair was in a chair with his typical hand on his face, on his right side was Dabi smoking a cigar, next to Shoto was Toga with a knife pointed at his neck
"¿W-What the hell...?"
"Good evening" Shigaraki smiled as he removed his hand from his face
"Technically good morning because it's 3 a.m." Toga interrupted the leader
"Anyway ... you wonder what you're doing here"
"¿You are going to kill me right?"
"If we wanted you dead, you would already be ... We want to make a proposal"
"¿Proposal?"
The 3 villains stood in front of him and smiled "Join the League of Villains"
Shoto upon hearing that shook his head "¡Never!"
"I told you Dabi, let me cut it off" Toga smiled and put her knife close to Shoto's face, who just gulped.
"Leave us alone"
Both Toga and Shigaraki saw him confused, they left the room leaving the 2 fire bearers alone, Dabi sat in front of Shoto
"I will not join you ... Touya"
"I gave up that name years ago, and yes you will join us"
"¿Why would I do that?"
"Well, first we will kill you if you don't and second ... Even if you don't want to accept it or not your stupid hero system is corrupt"
"That's not…"
"It is" Dabi said dryly and frowned and lit another cigarette and blew the steam against Shoto's face "They unfairly classify who serves or not and discard others as garbage" Dabi pressed his fist tightly while saying those words, then he takes out a page from a magazine that belonged to Toga in which Momo and Kendo were posing as models "¿What do you see here?"
"To Yaoyorozu and Kendo"
"No you idiot" Dabi hit himself in the face "2 stupid bitches pretending to be heroes of a fake agency"
"¿F-Fake? ¿What do you mean? Yaoyorozu went there to do her internship "
"Like you went with stupid Endeavor"
"¿How do you know that?"
"I know a lot of things Shoto" Dabi went back to smoking the cigar "Returning to the topic, that agency is false. ¿Do you know what that agency has done well in the last 4 years?" Shoto shook his head "A shit, they don't help anybody and the only way it can sustain itself is to sell their employees like that, ¿Why else do you think they called that stupid partner of yours?"
"Because, because…"
"They weren't interested in her being good, because she isn't, they were interested in her just because she was pretty, and neither is she" Shoto was silent at that "¿Do you have something to say? ¿Do you agree with that?"
"Well ... In the test against Aizawa, she ran out and leaving me tied up, I had to invent that I vote for her so she could do something"
"So you agree with what I say" Shoto nodded quickly "And most importantly... ¿What kind of society lets hero number 1 go free with none of his crimes being known?" Dabi's tone of voice changed to an angrier one and he burned the cigarette "¡¿How can they hide that he abuses his wife and 2 of his children?!"
"I-I've never seen it that way."
"I'm going to kill him, I won't rest until I see his body burning in my flames" Dabi got up "And I know that you haven't forgiven him, you just want him to teach you to dominate your left side" Shoto nodded again "Join us Shoto Todoroki "Dabi smiled again" You have no idea what has being created in the shadows, you would be our undercover agent, think about it ... After everything you've been through and done in UA, no one would suspect you, and you can also take revenge on the man who tortured you since childhood also ... You will not have to worry about being alone anymore "
"I-I'm not alone, my friends ..."
"They are not your friends; they only take advantage of the fact that your power is very strong... If you had another power, ¿Do you think they would even talk to you?"
Shoto was left thinking about his words, before UA nobody spoke to him and if they did it was only because of his power to intimidate someone, in UA it was no different; Before the festival no one even came near it, it seems that if they used it too
"I will" Shoto whispered and looked up "I will join the League of Villains"
Dabi smiled and told the others they could come in, they unleashed him and started talking, when Shoto said he fought Stain; Toga kept asking him different things like: ¿What knives did he use? ¿Did he almost kill you? If he make him scars and if he could see them
Shigaraki gave him a communicator that Shoto put to his ear and told him to go back to the dorms, that he would receive orders soon, in the time he was unconscious and they were convincing him and talking, it had become daylight
When he returned to the bedrooms and several of his friends were having breakfast
"¿Todoroki? ¿Where were you?" Momo asked approaching him
He remembered the words of Dabi "They are not your friends, they only take advantage of your power" and those of Shigaraki "Keep your appearance, act normal and act when necessary"
"At my house" was the only cold answer Shoto gave before going back to his room and lying on his bed
