You were standing in front of Realiti, back in her agency. You were the only one who went there, because apparently, newspapers aren't real and neither is the whistleblower.

"Y/n," she said seriously, "What I'm going to tell you is to remain confidential, you understand me?" You nodded brightly.

"Yep! And also because I'll probably forget it in the next thirty minutes."
Realiti smiled at you and brought out a folder.

"Chisaki of Shie Hassaikai," she said, allowing to you see his picture.

"Is that a plague mask?"

"Yes."

"Didn't doctors back then stuff herbs and shit in there? If so, that dude is on a constant 24/7 high."
Reality sighed.

"It's unknown what Chisaki's motives or plans are, but we know he might in cahoots with the League of Villains," she debriefed. You nodded.

"Okay, so what do you want me to do?" You asked. Realiti placed her elbows on the desk, resting her head on her hands.

"I want you to re-join the criminal world."

"..."

"... what?"
Realiti held out her hand and another file popped into it.

"Do you know what this is?" She waved it in front of your face.

"Well, I can't see it if you keep waving it like that."
Realiti deadpanned at you.

"This..." She flicked it across to you. "... is your criminal record." Your brows raised.

"I... didn't know I had one," you murmured softly, seeing the papers with all of the crimes you've committed.

"I act independently from other agencies," Realiti said, "So I have free will." She leaned forward, placing her head mere inches from yours.

"I want you to go undercover as a villain."

"..."

"... no, absolutely not, hell no, get that bullshit out of my face."
Realiti leaned back.

"Y/n. Do you understand how dire the situation is?"

"I've been to jail twice. I'm not going back again. I don't care if you're a popular hero. I'm not doing this for you."

"Then tell me, Miss Righteousness," she said, "If Principal Nezu asked you to do it, would you?"

"No," you immediately replied, "I've worked too hard to regain the trust of the public and my school friends. I'm not losing it again."

"You really think you regained the trust of the public?" She asked. She leaned to the side and pressed some keys. Screens popped up in front of you.

"Read carefully."
You leaned forward and read reports from different news channels.

"Y/n L/n is a U.A. student? Scary..."
"Man... this is her third chance... why can't they just kill her already."
"She's caused so much trouble for everyone... why is she allowed back in school?"
"I kinda feel bad... the poor kids who'll have to deal with her..."
"I'll pray for all of the teachers and students... that demon shouldn't have any rights."

"..."

"This might be way over your head, Y/n," Realiti spoke, "But if we can fool Chisaki and the League of Villains, we'll have ourselves a victory."

"You want me to be a double spy?" You inquired quietly. She nodded.

"In order to fool your enemies, you must first fool your allies first."
You unfocused, vision going blurry and cross-eyed.

"I'll give you my quirk."
Your eyes snapped back into place.

"What?"

"I'll give you my quirk: Reality," she said with a smirk. Your jaw dropped lower than your ass at the club.

"WHAT!?!?"

"It's not hard. Nada's quirk is the ability to transfer quirks."

"Wait, then what was the point of me switching my Zoanthropy for the Zodiacs?" You leaned forward.

"You get to keep them, of course. Just as a backup... but." Realiti stood up, arms coming up in a shrug.

"It's your choice... but you only have two days to decide. I suggest you do it wisely."

"Hey, Y/n?" Denki poked you in your ribs. "Are you alright? You haven't been quiet yourself since your work study."

"Yeah, yeah," Sero added, "It's like someone snuffed out your blunt and left you sick and festering like garlic bread to a vampire."

"..."

"Sero, maybe we should hang out less."

"No way!"
You sighed and slapped both of them on their thighs.

"I'm cool, my dude," you said, waving them off. "It's just hard doing nothing, and extremely tiring sitting around."

"Well, you got a point," Denki said, reclining back on the couch. Even though you said that, for once in your life, your mind was reeling from thoughts. Actual, deep, thought-provoking thoughts.

'... becoming a villain... again? But I wouldn't actually be a villain... but everyone would think that... and I would betray them a second time... but it's not actually real... but it would feel real... GAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!' You furiously rubbed your head with your hands, an overbearing headache beginning to form.

'This is so stupid! Why am I even thinking about it? It's a no brainer! I've too much to lose by doing it.' You glanced at Sero and Denki who were half asleep on the couch, drooling. A small smile graced your lips.

"That's right, how could I do that to-"

ՎՕՄɾ Ɑ ƑⱭÍӀՄɾҼ!!

"Huh?"
Your surroundings were sucked away, heart leaping in your chest. Vertigo rocked you hard, but you never moved. Static and white noise blared your ears, but you didn't cover them. Your sense of touch was lost within, Denki and Sero leaving your vision.

ԺՕՂ'Ե ԵՀÍՂƘ ԱҼ ԺՕՂ'Ե ՂՕԵÍϹҼ, ʍմɾժҽɾҽɾ!!

You stared up at the towering black figure, eyes wide.

ՎՕՄ'ɾҼ ՑՕÍՂՑ ԵՕ ҌҼԵɾⱭՎ ԵՀҼʍ ⱭՑⱭÍՂ!!

"What?" You breathed, staring up into its static-white eyes.

ՎՕՄ'ɾҼ Ɑ ƑÍϹƘӀҼ ϹɾҼⱭԵՄɾҼ. Թӏɑվíղց թɾҽեҽղժ եҍҽղ ՏԵⱭҌҍíՂՑ ҼѴҼɾվօղҼ ÍՂ ԵհҼ ҍɑϹƘ!!

A great sense of horror gripped you, eyes brimming with tears, but you didn't notice.

"That's not true!" You yelled at the creature, "I wasn't going to do anything like that!"

ԵՀɑե'Տ Ɑ ӏíҼ!! ՎՕՄ ƙղҼԱ ƒɾօʍ ԵՀҽ Ҍҽցíղղíղց!! ԵՀҼվ'ɾҽ ղՕե ցՕÍՂց ԵՕ ԵⱭƘҽ Վօմ ҌⱭϲƙ ɑ ՏҼϲօՂԺ եÍʍҼ!!

The creature laughed, but there was nothing funny about it. Multiple others sprang up from the dark abyss. The same, glowing white eyes boring into your body. Mocking you, degrading you. Using your actions against you. Your mind slipped, and for a moment, it was silent. Pure silence. Sweet silence. The laughing was gone. The pain was gone. The terror was gone. You were alone. Alone with yourself. Alone with your thoughts.

Was that any better?

Ja ne!
