And here's another cross post from Reddit. Yet another short idea of mine...
The Orphans
(Inspired by Young Justice and Ignited Spark by 3PeopleInACoat)
Okay, so I got this idea from 3PeopleInACoat's Ignited Spark fic, Young Justice, and DC in general:
In this story, there is another faction at play, a third party. They are the Orphans, a group of vigilantes that have grown up on the streets together and have been orphaned and left homeless by the various battles between heroes and villains, and have decided to go and take justice into their own hands.
They are also the only ones who are aware of the real scale of the threat that the League of Villains and All for One represent.
In this story, the League of Villains aren't just a band of anarchists, but are a malevolent conspiracy within hero society itself. Their reach extends across the entirety of Japan and even beyond, and have their hands in almost every major aspect of hero society itself. How far this reach could extend, I don't know. It could either be simply an alliance between all the major antagonistic factions in MHA, or it could go so far as to have a spy in every major hero school across the country.
Either way, the League of Villains are a much bigger threat than compared to what they were in canon, and the Orphans, a group of castaways and homeless vigilantes, are the only people that have a slight chance of stopping them, despite themselves being considered villains and criminals in the eyes of the world. As such, while the students at U.A., particularly those in Class 1-A, are carrying on with their lives in blissful ignorance, there is a shadow war being waged between these two parties, and the Orphans are constantly on the backfoot.
How this story could pan out, I'm not sure. I've got the idea in my head that the Orphans are a semi-professional group that can out-skill the U.A. students in a quirkless CQC due to having lived on the streets for so long and having trained themselves from that experience, but having serious trouble with people like Bakugou, Todoroki, and Izuku due to their extremely overpowered quirks and having to train themselves to be able to counter them.
I've also got an idea in my head about the Orphans themselves having a spy in U.A.'s ranks, someone like Momo and Kendo, who's mission is to simply identify and weed out the U.A. traitor and keep the other students safe from the League, particularly Izuku, or at least the person who has One for All, as their having OFA would definitely make them a target of All for One.
But other than that, what do you all think?
