Rolling with villains

Shaking off his previous dizziness, Aiden pushed his body to stand and stared at the two bumbling idiots in front of him.

'Isn't she that girl that fought Tsu and Uraraka? Why is she here?'

"You didn't tell me it was Aiden fucking Cross!!" Twice complained.

"I thought it was obvious." Toga said innocently.

Watching the two of them argue, Aiden didn't know whether to kill them or laugh. But for some odd reason he didn't get the feeling that they were bad people. Compared to that Shigaraki dude, they seemed approachable, normal even.

Now that the hanging man had died and the effects of his quirk had vanished, Aiden strolled past the two and planned to continue searching for Eri.

"Hey wait up!!" Toga called and skipped over to his side.

"TOGA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" Twice screamed after seeing her get so close to someone Shigaraki saw as dangerous.

Ignoring his pitiful cries, Toga started rambling on.

"Y'know you smell really nice. Like really REALLY nice!!" She grinned and inched closer to him.

Walking through the hallway, Aiden did his best to ignore this energetic yet dangerous girl. If it wasn't for the fact that he felt no hostility or malice from the both of them, they would have already have become corpses.

After experiencing that day over and over again, Aiden felt that something inside of him had changed. While his astral energy seemed to have become more abundant, he felt like this change affected him more psychologically than anything else. Even the way he looked at the world was slightly different compared to before... That might have been one of the reasons he didn't outright kill Toga and Twice.

"So then I went to the hideout with Dabi and we both joined the league of villains!!"

"*Sigh* Shigaraki's gonna kill us if he ever finds out that we're casually talking to him." Twice sighed from behind.

Listening to the two of them chatter on, Aiden could almost feel himself smile from beneath his mask. They reminded him a lot of his school life, especially Toga. If it wasn't for the knife that she had pulled out of that corpse, he would never have guessed that she was on the run from the police. And if he was being completely honest, her presence was weirdly comforting. She reminded him of Mina in a sense. Both of them were two energetic for their own good.

"So Aiden, whats your favorite color again?"

"..."

"Mine's red! But sometimes I feel like yellow suits me better. See?" She pointed at her yellow school uniform.

"..."

"I think its because it brings out my eyes more." She nodded wisely.

Taking a small glance at her eyes, he had to admit that the uniform both accentuated her figure and also made her eyes stand out. Talking about her eyes, they were quite enamoring. Very cat-like with an almost magnetic-like attraction to them.

"And that's why everyone should donate blood to blood banks." Toga finished saying.

"Oi- *Cough* I mean Mr. Aiden sir, how come you aren't killing us?"

"..."

"Not a fan of talking huh? I get you, I'm also the quietest one in our group, well maybe not as quiet as Dabi but I'm definitely a close second. Ah! Dabi's the guy with the blue flames that set fire to that forest we were all in. Doesn't speak much, but he's a really cool dude. I mean he acts kinda emo and stuff but I can tell that its just an act. Under all of the scarred and burnt skin, there's a really nice guy."

"..."

'Is this guy giving me valuable information?'

'Should I be memorizing any of it?'

"And then there's Shigaraki, I honestly don't really understand the guy and the whole severed hands thing he's into, kinda freaks me out. But he's not to bad as a leader. But if you ask me, I don't think he would have gotten this far without Kurogiri san. The dude seems to keep him grounded, you get me? Well that's besides the point, as I was sayi-

"So how come you're killing everyone?" Toga cut in.

"Don't heroes have a non-killing rule against humans? Or is it only these guys? Did they kill someone you cared about as well!?"

'Killed someone I care about?'

"..."

"That must be it!! That Overhaul guy killed sis Magne so me and Twice were gonna betray him and have the heroes take him down while we sneak away in the chaos! I'm so happy that were on the same side!!" She jumped for joy.

"Ha! And to think that idiot Overhaul thought we were his underlings! What a moron!"

*Bang!!*

Grabbing her by the neck, Aiden slammed her into a nearby wall and released some killing intent.

"You were working with Chisaki?" He asked in a dark tone.

Feeling an iron like grip around her throat, a weird blush appeared on Toga's face as she bit her bottom lip.

"Woah, woah, woah!!" Twice repeated after seeing Aiden's action.

"We weren't really working with them!" He defended. "We just wanted to find out how they operated. That's why we infiltrated and posed as their underlings!!"

"...Is that true?" Aiden turned his attention back onto Toga.

"Uh huh." Toga blush redden as a feeling of dampness spread between her legs.

Letting go of her neck, Aiden looked forward and waited for the two to regain their bearings.

Coughing loudly, Toga couldn't help but look up at the masked figure with a deep smile. Twice on the other hand was just happy that the two of them were still alive. Aiden wasn't a guy that he wanted to get on the wrong side of. In fact, he had a strong urge to hightail it out of here and let him and Overhaul duke it out.

Seeing that the two of them were now calm, Aiden asked a simple question.

"Which direction did Chisaki go in?"

Pointing down a left corridor, Toga subtly gave her answer.

Turning to look where she was pointing, Aiden didn't bother to give the two a second look and charged ahead.

I feel like Twice and Toga are the only legitimate good people in the league.
