What happened? Who are you?

I'm the one you've been keeping locked up in the deepest, darkest corner of your mind. Todoroki let me out.

You didn't answer me. Who are you?

The one who's been protecting you since day one.

... what?

Do you really think you would survive everything you've been through with a sane mind?

Yes, actually, I did.

You're a fool. Your father's death, your mother's dejection, your first convicted murders, prison for three years, all those scornful stares of fear and hatred, assisting Stain, killing more people, going to Tartarus, joining the League of Villains.

... well damn, you didn't have to go that deep.

I did. You see, I've been hiding in the shadows. Waiting. Do you truly think you'd make out of what you've been through alive without me?

I mean, yeah, kinda.

You'll see the errors of your ways. From now on, you're gone. Nothing but a figment of imagination. Exactly how I was for years.

Todoroki used his left side. Flames shot out from his body towards you in a wave. With a growl, you crossed your arms and ran through them.

'I'll show you, Little Y/n, what true power looks like.'

The scream pierced through the air. Todoroki covered his ears. The blast pushed him back to the ground. He sent ice to block himself from you. You just broke through the wall of ice. He writhed on the ground, covering his ears.

"Y/n," Dabi called. You stopped screaming and turned towards him. A hum left his throat. "What's wrong with you?"
You sneered at him.

"Fuck off," you hissed, "Stay out of my way. And my name's not Y/n." He was kinda confused at your sudden change.

"Todoroki!" Midoriya exclaimed.
Ignoring his bleeding ears, he stood up and made a wall of ice to block you.

"That little—"

"No, wait," Compress said to you. You growled at him.

"Why?!"

Kurogiri appeared next to you, forming a portal. His main body towered over the three running students.

"It has been five minutes since the signal," Compress said, "Let us go, Dabi."
Your lip raised in a snarl before you begrudgingly walked through the portal. You appeared back in the League of Villains HQ. The bar in Kamino Ward. Shigaraki was sitting at the bar as usual. Twice and Toga were already there too.

"Ohh! Y/n-chan!" She bound up to you. "Hey, I didn't get enough blood for the mission... can I see some of yours, pretty please~?"
You grabbed her arm and flipped her over your shoulder. She landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"Get the hell away from me, you crazy cunt," you said, glaring down at her before walking past the bar and into a different room.

"It seems Y/n's flipped a switch," Twice said, "She's defending herself!"

~
You leaned against the wall in a quiet room. You could hear the others arriving, but didn't bother coming out.
A feral growl came from your mouth, hand gripping your head tightly.

"Shut up, shut up!" You yelled, "No one cares about you! Shut up!" You turned and kicked the wall, your foot going through the wood.

"Huh?" You ripped it from the wall and stumbled back.

"Did I do that?" You looked around the room. "Where am I?"
Pain tore through your head, forcing you to slump to the floor. Sharp pain pulsed through your skull.

"Stay in your place, Little Y/n—!" "What's happening—?!" "Shut up—!" "Please stop!"
Then, all at once, it stopped. The pain, the confusion. Everything froze.

"Oi, Y/n," Dabi walked in, "You're needed." He stared quizzically down at you while you reciprocated the same look.

"Who are... you?" You asked, tilting your head. "And who's Y/n?"

~
The teacher's and pro-heroes of U.A. sat around their meeting room. Ever since the villain incident and Bakugo's kidnapping, multiple news outlets and mass media has been criticizing them.

"There's one last thing in need of discussion," Midnight said.

"Yeah. Y/n L/n," Snipe said.

"So it's confirmed that she's joined the League of Villains?" Mic inquired.

"Yes. Shoto Todoroki and multiple other students confirmed it," All Might replied.

"Then that must mean she's where the rest of them are," Midnight said.

"Do we treat her like a full-fledged villain?" Mic asked.

"We have no choice," Snipe said, "She's decided to join them."

"I kinda feel bad," Mic said, "She's still only a child."

"Regardless," Nezu spoke, "That doesn't take away the fact she's in their league."

"And Kamiko is still at large," Snipe said, "With her posse in tow."

"They haven't caused that much trouble," Midnight said, "It's embarrassing to say, but the police haven't been actively looking for them either."

"What do you think about this, Principal?" All Might turned his head.

"Right now, our priority is to retrieve Bakugo and calm the public down," he replied, "What happens after can wait."

~
"The time is coming," Kamiko said, "The League of Villains are drawing attention away from us."

"Is that what we want?" Sora asked, "I thought you couldn't stand not having attention."
Kamiko glared at her.

"Not anymore, no," she replied, staring down at her hands. "She took my quirk away. I can't do anything now."

"Then why don't we just kill her?" Megumi asked with a shrug.

"That's probably the single most stupidest thing that's come out of your mouth," Kamiko said, "Everyone in this room is now stupider because of you."

"Now we know where Y/n gets her sarcasm from," Psychotica murmured.

"Zip it."
With the raise of her hands, Kamiko turned her hostile attention away from her.

"Y/n is breaking. I know it," she said, "You did good, Psychotica."
With a smug smirk, she leaned back against the couch.

"Always."

~
"What are you talking about?" Dabi asked, staring down at you with a glare. "Quit fooling around. It's annoying me."

"I don't..." You trailed off, "I don't like it here... can I go home?"
Dabi stared at you, eyes widening.

"Stay here." He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Where's Y/n?" Spinner asked.

"We have a situation," Dabi said, ignoring his question.

"What happened?" Kurogiri asked.

"I don't know," he replied, "But Y/n isn't Y/n."

Ja ne!
