"SO," he said, "What's your decision?"

This was horrible. F/n couldn't sleep the night before and instead cry in hopes that someone could hear her and help her through all of this mess.

But no one did. Like how All For One said to her.

"Are you joining the League of Villains or do you want to join those monsters?" All For One asked.

"I-I..." she stuttered, looking up at the villain, "I am not joining you."

Shigaraki huffed and scratched his neck in frustration while Toga boredly twirled her knife.

"May I ask why not?"

She gulped at his tone. He sounded so formal yet so... off. There must be something going on as to why he wanted to see her after yesterday. She thought he was going to leave her alone. But he kept true to his words.

"I... I am a hero and I want to be a hero," she bravely declared, sounding confident with her words.

"Then join the league," he said, making the girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"You said you want to be on the hero's side, didn't you? Join, then," he continued, "I told you yesterday, the people who society thinks are heroes aren't actually heroes now are they?"

"They never cared about you and instead ignored you. They never save you and instead walk past you. You can't call the heroes now, can you?"

Like F/n, the League of Villains froze at their leader's words. 'What?!' they all thought.

"Join them, Bakugou. They're just like you. In the darkness alone with no one to help them, they had to help themselves. No one to save them, they had to save themselves. They are just like you, Bakugou."

"What the heck is happening?" Twice asked but then turned against himself, "Shh..."

"Toga and Spinner are just like you," he continued, ignoring the other villain, "They want to be heroes but no one has trust in them. Everyone thought that they would never be heroes and instead, villains."

Both mentioned villains froze at that. But none, no one at all, spoke up about it.

"Tomura and Dabi both had family problems. Just like you." Dabi clenched his teeth with his nails sinking into his skin. Meanwhile, Shigaraki had his eyes widened at the information his leader spoiled for the girl.

"Twice is broken inside and Compress does badly in order to do good. Just like you," he said, emphasizing each of the words as he said 'Just like you' while the other two villains stare at the girl in disbelief.

"W-What are you talking about? I'm not like you. I'm not like any of you," she said, voice cracking every once in a while.

"What do you mean, Bakugou?" All For One asked, "They're just like you. Need I remind you?"

Silence.

"You want to be a hero and yet no one believes in you, not even your teachers," he said.

"No..."

"You want to be a good sister and yet you can never succeed at that."

"Stop..."

"You want to be fixed and a mental supporter and yet you got no one."

"Stop."

"You want to be friends with others and yet no one did with you."

"Stop it!" she screamed, panting heavily after that.

"You want to be good to others and yet you lie to them. They are just like you, Bakugou. You are just like them," All For One said, "They're here for you, unlike those pesky fake heroes."

"I will never join you!" she declared.

All For One stared at her with his Infrared Quirk before sighing. "Very well then. We'll do this the hard way instead."

F/n looked at him with wide eyes and a trembling figure. A part of her doesn't want to know what he was talking about and the other part of her... doesn't want to know even more.

The intimidatingly tall villain stepped closer and closer to F/n, at some point too close for her comfort.

"W-What are you doing?" she stuttered.

"You are wanted in the League of Villains only because of your quirk," All For One said, leaving those 'meaningful' words in the garbage and F/n shocked.

"W-What..."

"You thought you were wanted in the league, hm?" he asked, "You were so wrong, Bakugou. Like your classmates, you really are gullible."

All For One laughed evilly, sending shivers down, not only F/n's but the other villains' spines as well.

He stepped closer and the girl yelped as he placed his hand on her head. His hand was cold, very cold, and his hold was firm and left unmoving.

"Be careful, now. This is going to hurt just a little bit."

F/n screamed loudly, making the villains behind All For One flinch. The villain leader wore a mask under his mask as the red light grew out of her and into him.

F/n grunted and laid lower from her previous kneeling down position, having the chains behind her support her from falling onto the floor.

She coughed out blood, vision blurry from the tears that managed to form as she felt the pain throughout her body.

"Master! What did you do to her?" Shigaraki asked, slightly concerned at the girl's condition.

"Don't worry about it, Tomura," he said, "I just took her quirk."

"You..." the girl muttered, staring at him with horror in her eyes, "You took my quirk..."

"That I did, Bakugou," he said, "That I did."

"But... What about the recruit? She's not going to be useful now that she's quirkless," Shigaraki asked.

"I'll take care of that, Tomura. Besides," he turned to face the panting girl again, "she isn't useful in the first place, anyway."

Both Dabi and Toga widened their eyes at his statement, eyes glancing at the girl who was still trying to recover from the pain.

"I'll leave now," All For One said, approaching the door feeling powerful as ever, "Take care of that girl. Don't let her leave this place."

The door shut behind him, leaving the other villains stunned in silence. The only things that they could hear in the room were F/n coughs and pants, to which they turned towards.

"B-"

Someone tried speaking up but was interrupted as F/n started to lose consciousness. Her head dropped harshly, colliding with the hard floor as darkness invaded all of her.
