The story will be in the comments

I climbed up a tree to hide as I dragged the bag of food behind me. The guy I’d stolen from came out and tried to look for me, then went back inside, probably to call the cops or some hero. I rolled my eyes and jumped to the next tree, clinging on with my tiger-like claws. I found a well-hidden tree to sit in and decided to sleep there for the day, since the sun was coming up. I pulled a piece of bread out of the sack and began melancholy ripping it apart with my sharp teeth. Then I overturned the bag to use as a pillow and found a nice sleeping position and fell asleep.

*the next morning*

I woke up just in time to see the sun set. I watched. It had been so long since I’d taken the time to be still and watch another small miracle of this world. Then I heard a megaphone.

“Sir, drop the bag now!”

Crap! But wait, he said sir?? I looked over and saw someone else with a bag running past buildings. I leaned to get a better look and fell out of the tree right in front of the cops.

Crap! Think of something quick y/n!

“Sorry about that! I’m a new hero, I was chasing after the culprit, then I lost him so I climbed up a tree to get a better view” I said, standing up.

“What’s your hero name, miss?” The guy with the megaphone asked. My mind immediately went to when I had been younger playing with my parents. I had always pretended that my hero name was…

“…Tigris!” I said boldly. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I must chase after this thief” and I dashed off, forgetting about the bread sack I left in the tree. Eh, the birds will love it. I climbed up another tree and tried to find the guy. I saw him run down an alley and I jumped out of the tree, landed on my two feet and shifted into a cheetah, dashing after him. I followed his scent and found him, he was still running, so I chased him, finally cornering him in an empty corner street. I shifted back into my human form and waved.

“What do you want, hero?” He asked me bitterly.

“Oh, no. I’m not a hero, I was just trying to get away from those guys after I fell out of a tree” I said. As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt stupid. Falling out of a tree? Seriously y/n?!

“So are you a villain?” He asked. I shrugged. I didn’t really know if I technically qualified.

“Do you despise the heroes?” He interrogated. I nodded my head.

“They blew up my house trying to kill me and my parents because we were feared. We just wanted to live a happy life.” I said, my eyes tearing up remembering what my parents had told me as

they lay in the ashes of our house dying. Remember y/n, do what you think is right, and be careful. I wiped my face using a furry paw and looked up at him.

“Why were people scared of you?” He asked, not seeming interested.

“Our quirks. My father could pretty much do anything a wolf can do and become any animal in the canine family, and my mother’s was basically my dad’s, except hers was birds of prey instead of canines. Mine is called felidae, the scientific name for felines or cats” I explained, mentally smacking myself for explaining my life story to a stranger. He raised an eyebrow and began walking away, motioning for me to follow him. I followed.

“By the way, what’s your name, tiger?” He said. I ignored the nickname and told him. We neared an old building and he stepped inside, his bag slung over his shoulder. He turned on a light and I got a good look at him for the first time. I gasped a little. His face and arms were covered in one giant purple burn scar, his flesh and the scars connected by little metal rings that looked like staples. I shook it off, not wanting to look like a baby.

“What’s your name…staples?” I asked, throwing a nickname back at him. He turned around to look at me and for a split-second I thought he was gonna kill me.

“Dabi,” he said finally. We continued inside as I dodged cobwebs and broken furniture. I jumped over one last chair and Dabi opened a door at the end of the room. Light flooded out and I saw an old bar, but cleaned up and new-looking, as if it was recently made, but in a different time period.

“Hey, Shigaraki! I found a new recruit!” Dabi said as he closed the door behind me. There were other people at the bar too, a lizard, a purple cloud, a magician, a guy in a gas mask, someone in a black and white costume, and a blonde yandere girl. I followed Dabi, not knowing where to go. He dropped the bag down by the counter and walked away into a room after telling me “Stay”. So I stood in the middle of the room and looked around. There was a leather couch with a TV and a console, a bar counter with all kinds of stuff to make drinks in the shelves behind it, and there were barstools, and an upstairs where I assume is bedrooms and stuff.

Dabi came back with a guy with a hand covering his face, he must be Shigaraki.

“This is the new recruit? She looks so fragile it’s like she’s made of porcelain” he said, pointing at me. I hated being judged because of my looks. I lunged at him with the speed of a lion and ears and

tail of a tiger with a massive paw, claws out, at his throat.

“Wadja say, Hands?” I said quietly. He chuckled and gently pushed me off him.

“I see what you mean, she’s got that spirit. Welcome to the league of Villains” he said.

“What?” I said, confused. Dabi pulled me aside and explained that this was kind of like a villain club, trying to take down All Might. I nodded in understanding and turned back around to face Shigaraki.

“Thank you for allowing me to join, I look forward to-” he cut me off.

“Yeah, yeah. What’s your name?”

“Y/n l/n”

“What about your villain name?” I wasted no time thinking.

“Tigris,” I said.

“Welcome to the League of Villains” he said, and walked off. I froze for a second, then turned around to ask Dabi something.

“Okay, I’m in the League, now what?” I asked, confused.

“We don’t really do a lot until Shigaraki’s got his plans in order, so we just do whatever until then” he said. I didn’t say anything for a second, then I shrugged and said “ok” and sat on the couch, turning on the TV. Dabi sat next to me with an unreadable look on his face. Whiskers sprang from my face unexpectedly as I scrolled through the channels. I found one about bugs and kept that on.

A while later I turned and asked Dabi something.

“So, what exactly does being in the League mean?”

“I dunno, fight with us, live here pretty much. Sometimes we kidnap people” Dabi shrugged.

“So I’m gonna be living here?” I asked.

“Yeah”

“Where am I gonna sleep?” He shrugged.

“I guess you’ll be sleeping on the couch until we get you a room that’s situated and stuff” he responded. I blinked. I’d thought I would be sleeping somewhere else. I shook my head and turned back to the show. Later I thought of something.

“Hey, Dabi, what’s everyone’s quirks?” I asked.

“Well, Shigaraki can disintegrate anything he touches with five fingers, Spinner is a lizard, Toga, the blonde girl over there, can transform into people if she drinks their blood, Twice, in the black and white, can make copies of anything if he’s got the correct measurements of it, Kurogiri can make portals to anywhere, Mustard, the guy with the gas mask, can produce a gas that makes everyone sleep, and Mr Compress, the magician over by the counter, can compress things into tiny marbles” he explained.

“…and yours?” I said. He lifted his hand and held a blue flame in his palm.

“Cremation” he said as he closed his hand and put the flame out. I let out a little “hm” and turned back to the show.

In the deep jungles of Brazil, the Hercules Beetle is considered the strongest beetle in the world due to their amazing strength…

I began to doze off as the narrator droned on. I soon fell asleep, resting my head on the couch.

*Later*

My eyes fluttered open as light from the TV shone through my eyelids. My head was leaned over and I lifted up my head. My head was resting on Dabi’s shoulder. I jolted upward as Dabi looked over at me like I wasn’t just using him as a pillow. I began stuttering, apologizing for sleeping on him.

“…that’s not what I meant…I-I…I’m sorry…uh”

“It’s fine! Sheesh, it’s not that big of a deal, y/n” he said in a tone that a big brother would have. I nodded, blushing slightly. He turned back to the show and I thought I saw a small smile crawl up onto his face. I turned back to the show and checked my watch. It was 6:37.

“Who makes dinner?” I asked, curious.

“Normally we just eat whatever’s in the fridge or get takeout,” he responded. I gasped in mock surprise.

“Could I make dinner?” I asked, getting cat ears and a tail.

“You’re asking the wrong person. Shigaraki’s in charge around here, but I doubt he would care. Talk to Kurogiri or something” he said. I dashed up from the couch and went to Shigaraki who was sitting on a barstool. I tapped his shoulder and he turned around.

“Could I make dinner?” I asked, putting on a big smile.

“That depends, can you actually cook well?” He said, raising an eyebrow. I nodded.

“My mom used to let me help cook and I memorized some of her recipes,” I said. Shigaraki sighed.

“Good, last time Spinner cooked and he completely burned whatever he was making”

“Hey, hey! It was lasagna for your information!” Spinner yelled from the couch.

“Yeah? Then why did it look like charcoal?” Shigaraki yelled back. He turned back to me.

“Use whatever we got in the cabinets or fridge or whatever” he said. I nodded happily, excited that I could finally cook something other than fish over a fire. I dashed over to the cabinet to see what I had to work with. Bread, cereal, peanut butter, crackers, rice, ramen packets, tomato sauce, and some noodles. I looked in the fridge and found eggs, ham, ground beef, broccoli, grapes, bananas, butter, relish, mayonnaise, milk, and a block of cheese. There wasn’t much to work with. I decided on grilled cheese. I grabbed a notepad and pen I found in a drawer and began taking everyone’s orders.

After I’d gotten everyone I began making the sandwiches.

*after making sandwiches*

“Dinner’s ready!” I shouted and everyone came dashing to the bar counter as I distributed the plates of food. Grilled cheese with some wild rice on the side. I stood at the end of the counter and waited for everyone to take a bite.

“It’s much better than Spinner’s charcoal pasta! No! It tastes like dirt!” Twice said. I smiled and grabbed my plate and sat on the couch next to Shigaraki and Dabi.

“We’re going to need to get you a costume, y/n” Shigaraki said, poking at his grilled cheese.

“…do you guys like your dinner?” I asked them.

“It’s better than Spinner’s food,” Shigaraki said. Sheesh! It must’ve been really bad if everyone keeps bringing it up.

“It’s good,” Dabi said, shoveling the sandwich into his mouth. I smiled and began eating mine.

After everyone ate I didn’t know if we all went to bed or if there were different schedules or if we just went to bed whenever. So I just followed Dabi around.

“…uh whatcha doin’ y/n?” Dabi asked in that tone. I shrugged.

“I dunno, when does everyone go to bed?” I asked genuinely, because I had no idea. He shrugged.

“Whenever,” he said, sitting down on the leather couch. He reached for the remote that was on the table behind the couch so he reached his arm backwards and his loose shirt lifted up a little bit and I saw his scarred lower abdomen. I couldn’t help but stare at his exposed skin as a black panther tail and ears popped up on my body. I noticed and tried to brush them away, but they wouldn’t go away. Dabi looked over at me with an eyebrow raised and I immediately stopped flailing and shoved my hands onto my lap. He reached out to touch my cat ear and I just stayed still. He rubbed my ear back and forth between his fingers as if admiring the feel. He then began gently scratching behind my ear and I started to gently purr involuntarily. He looked up in surprise.

“You purr, too?” He asked, chuckling a little. I made a pouty face and smacked his hand away from my ear.

“Yes, but not often” I said, glaring at him because he made me purr. “I don’t really like the way it sounds, so I try to surprise it…” I said. Dabi turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. News. News. Kids cartoons. News. Singing shows. Naruto. Wait, Naruto!

“Stop! Stop! Go back!” I shouted. He went back and I squealed when I saw Naruto Uzumaki on the screen. Dabi rolled his eyes but set down the remote.

“So you’re a Naruto girl?” He asked with that smug grin on his face. I gave myself fierce lion

eyes, ears, and a tail and made the shadow clone jutsu symbol with my fingers. He chuckled a little and turned back to the TV, watching Naruto shovel ramen into his mouth.
