"The buzzing hero: Bumblebee, was found dead at xxxx this morning. It is believed to be the work of the hero killer: Stain, meaning his hero kill count has now increased to 21. At the scene of the crime, like always the words 'All fake hero's will be purged was spelt out on the floor in the hero's blood..."

This shit again. The hero killer seems to be killing hero's more frequently now and ever since he announced his beliefs to the world some people have started to turn against hero's and more villians have started to emerge in the name of 'getting rid of all the fake hero's'. What the hell even is a fake hero, if all those hero's are fake then which ones are real.

"KATSUKI GO SET THE TABLE!" I suddenly hear my mum scream, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"RELAX IM COMING YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL!" Tch, so annoying.

I make my way to the kitchen to find my mum making dinner. For some reason ever since I've started therapy my mum has been less strict on me, its fucking weird. But atleast now she ain't forcing me to cook every single day.

"There was a new transfer student who joined are class today." I tell her as I take out the plates and cutlery. "She was sitting in Deku's seat."

"Oh." She says and nothing more. She's still acting weird when it comes to Deku, in fact everyone has been acting weird when it comes to Deku. Every time I mention Deku everyone always goes quiet and avoids the subject.

Mum finishes making dinner and we all sit down to eat. Its awkward and quiet and nobody says a thing for the whole duration.

"I'm going out, see you in a bit." I call out to all the villians in the room but I'm not sure they really care.

"See you later Izu-kun." Toga says as she pops her face round the door. "Don't get arrested."

I doubt i'd get arrested since I haven't actually done anything illegal yet but I'm glad that she cares. I leave the abandoned bar and make sure my hoodie is properly covering my face. I'm going to Takoba Municipal Beach. Its perfect because its full of illegally dumped trash so no one really goes there plus cleaning the place up really helps me build muscle. Dabi left it to me work out and get stronger, all he will do is teach me basic fighting skills to defend myself. Toga is also teaching me how to use a knife, she's actually a surprisingly good teacher when she isn't acting all crazy.

It doesn't take long to get to the beach and like always its an absolute mess. I take of my bag and get my gloves and trash bags. I take off my hoodie revealing my now black curls.

Shiggy said I have to disguise myself since my suicide attempt was on the news so the league gave me a makeover. They dyed my hair black and gave me brown contact lenses. Toga also insisted I always cover up my freckles with make up since there a chance people could realise who I am from them. There was also actually this whole fight about what colour I should dye my hair, everyone made a pretty big deal out of it.

I put on my gloves and get to work, starting out with small trash so I won't instantly wear myself out. I've already made a plan on how I'm gonna clean the whole beach and what section I'll do each day. I estimated that it will take me about 10 months of really hard work to clear the whole beach all by myself.

As I'm cleaning the beach I see a figure in the distance looking out to sea. I go a little closer and his features become more apparent. Sitting there is a boy with messy, purple hair which is sticking up. I can't see his face but he looks kind of sad. I sneak up behind him as to not startle him and I tap him on the shoulder wi8ch still startles him so that failed.

He turns around looking kind of distressed. He has indigo eyes and looks like he hasn't slept in days. But most importantly I was right he does look really sad.

"Um are you ok?" I ask feeling a little concerned. He just nods and doesn't say a word.
"Are you sure?" I ask once more. "Cause you look really upset."

"Its nothing" he finally says and turns his attention back to the sea.

"Um, my name is Iz- uh Hisui, what's your name?" I say trying to get him to focus on me again.

"Shinso Hitoshi." He answers without looking away from the sea.

"Nice to meet you Shinso-kun, are you sure yo-"

"What do you want?" he suddenly snaps as he looks me in the eyes.

"I-" The world goes blank and my mind gets cloudy.

"Have you tracked him down yet Kurogiri." A certain pale blue haired man whines. "Midoriya said that he should still be in the area until after he's killed about 3-4 hero's."

"Yes, well I'm still looking." Kurogiri says in a calm manner. I don't know how he can deal with him so calmly.

"Well look harder." Shiggy says suddenly getting irritated.

"Don't you think we should wait for Izuku though, so you don't end up getting another knife wedged through your arm." I say with a smirk on my face.

"Shut up Dabi, what could he do anyway." He groweled

"Dabi is right though. If izu-kun was here he might be able to convince stainy to join." Toga says backing up my point

"What and I can't?" He says, irritated.

"No." The whole league says simultaneously. I can practically see the steam coming out from shiggy's ears.

"Let's be honest, the little guy is way more suited to stuff like this and you already got stabbed once so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again." Magne says. The whole league agreed and kept giving shiggy different reasons to wait for Izuku until he finally gave in.

"Fine, whatever. Midoriya can do all the talking once he gets back, but if you find stain before that I'll do it all by myself."  He replied.

"Kinda petty don't ya think." I say

"Shut up!"

______________________________________

"Leave me alone." I hear voice say clearly.

Suddenly the fogginess in my mind disperses and I return back to reality.

"That was mean." I say to the insomniac boy infront of me. "You didn't have to use your quirk on me."

"Whatever" he says as he turns away, ignoring me once again.

It gets a little awkward and I don't even know if he notices my presence anymore so I tapped his shoulder once more and say "your quirk is brainwashing right?"

"Your still here." He says looking visibly surprised. I can't believe he forgot about me so quickly.

"Yeah I am, so back to your quirk: what requirements do you need to activate your quirk?" I ask.
I'm guessing he has to speak to the person or something like that, but if that was the case he already spoke to me once so that should have activated it. Or maybe it was the question, its either that or he can do it when he chooses to without a requirement but I doubt that. He's looking at me with a confused expression on his face and I realise I started mumbling.

"Sorry, did that make you uncomfortable. I'm sorry I get like that sometimes, its just that your quirk is really cool."

"Cool?" He says looking doubtful. "How is a villainous quirk like mine cool. Aren't you scared of me?"

"Huh, why would I be scared of you, there's no such thing as a villainous quirk anyway." I reply " Plus your quirk is way more suited for hero work, I mean you can stop fights before they even start, and you can break up hostage situations with no fuss and so on. Your quirk is actually pretty amazing." I look up to find tears in his eyes. "Huh why are you crying did I do something wrong?"

He shakes his head and it takes a minute before he asks "Do you think I can become a hero with a quirk like mine?"

"Of course." I say and tears stream down even faster from his eyes.

"But-" I tell him. "You can't just rely on your quirk to become a hero."

"What do you mean?" He asks as he wipes his tears.

"I mean your quirk is a mental one so you've got to make up for your physical strength. It should really be the same for people with a physical quirk, they think that they don't need to put anymore work into themselves because of that. But that's not true, your quirk is just a tool and if we think of this like a video game, your quirk could max out one stat but all the others would be totally lacking. So would that make you a strong hero or a weak one."

"I mean you wouldn't exactly be strong, only in certain situations" he answers.

"Exactly, but as a hero you have to be prepared for every and any situation. If you have one maxed out stat, for example speed which was completely useless in some situation, what are you gonna do when you only improved your speed instead of every other attribute. Um does that make sense." I ask cause I'm not sure he's following.

"So basically what your trying to say is that I should work on improving my strength and other attributes till they're as good as my quirk so I'll be prepared for any situation." Oh so he was following.

"Yeah and UA's entrance exam doesn't really benefit non-physical quirks, so." I say with a wobbly smile on my face. I've already accepted that there was a really low possibility that I could ever pass that exam anyway.

"Yeah that's annoying, but it won't stop me from trying." He says with determination, finally looking a little happier. "Thanks for making me feel better i really appreciate it. Do you need help?" He points to the trash bin which I just realised is still in my hand.

"Oh no you don't have to, I'm mainly cleaning the beach to help me gain muscle." I tell him.

"Then from now on I can help. It was your idea to focus on ways to make up for what I was lacking, so we can build muscle together." He says with a genuine smile on his face.

"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt if you helped. Plus with two people this beach could be cleaned up much quicker." I point out.

"Great, do you want to exchange numbers then?"

"Oh I don't have a phone." Thats not entirely a lie actually, shiggy got rid of my phone after I joined and I still haven't gotten a new one. But even if I did have a phone, I'm a villian now and I don't think it would be a very good idea to give it out.

"Really? Well that's fine there's no helping it I guess. I'll come back tomorrow same time and we can make a plan." I nod in agreement and just before he leaves he says, "By the way the requirements for my quirk is a response to my question." He smirks before finally leaving.

I stay a little longer and decide to leave early since with two people cleaning now it will be easy to catch back up to my schedule.

______________________________________

I make my way back to the abandoned  bar and open the door to find Stain the hero killer pointing a knife to Shigiraki and the rest of the league watching in amusant.

"Um, am I interrupting something." I say as I carefully make my way through the door.

"Perfect he's here, no more talking now Shiggy." Dabi says as he makes his way to me and pulls me to a chair infront of the hero killer. "We're leaving it up to you to convince Stain to join us, so try not to get stabbed." He says way more cheerfully than I'd appreciate.

I kinda wish I didn't leave early now.
