fifteen

Eli sat in the teacher's meeting room, a tired look in her eye as stared at the centerpiece of the table. She wanted to check on Shouta, and then go home to her brothers who were very opposed to her even being here right now. She also was not in any way interested in listening to whatever assumptions they were going to make about this Tomura Shigaraki character. 

"The police have investigated the group calling themselves the League of Villains, and there does not appear to be anyone registered with the name of Shigaraki in their 20s or 30s with a Quirk that lets him disintegrate whatever he touches," Tsukauchi, a police detective explained. 

"It is the same with the villain called Kurogiri with the Warp Gate. They are probably not citizens and are using false names. In other words, they are people with unregistered Quirks who are part of society's underbelly," he finished off. 

"You mean, we don't know anything..." Vlad trailed off with his arms crossed. 

"We must hurry," Snipe grunted out. 

"Once their ringleader, Shigaraki's wounds heal, they'll definitely try again and it'll be a pain. We'd have a little more time if somebody hadn't caught 2 of them," Snipe said, making them look over at Eli who sat there with a tired look on her face. 

"Well their ringleader was acting like a child so I assumed he was one. I wasn't going to let you put 4 bullets in somebody who I thought was child Snipe, so if you're gonna sit here and be petty we can always take this outside," Eli threatened, a hard glare on her face as she looked at him. 

Many flinched at her tone, not use to her talking like this or even wearing such an expression for longer than a couple of minutes. But she'd been like this for the entire time she'd been here. Her eyes softened when she saw this, and she sighed and apologized softly before going back to saying nothing. 

"Their ringerleader, huh?" Toshinori said. 

"What is it, All Might?" Nezu asked All Might after he'd cleared his throat, snapping himself out of the worried glances he'd been giving Eli. 

"It was a bold attack that normal people wouldn't carry out even if they thought of it. And to suddenly go on and on with such wild statements like that... Although he didn't reveal his own Quirk, he bragged about that Nomu's Quirk. And when things didn't go the way he wanted, he was visibly upset. Well, the incident with the Quirk was to also force my hand, but..." All Might said and Eli had to bite her tongue for the time being before she spoke, knowing what she was going to say was going to cause a stir, but it had to be said. 

"Even so, it was foolish to throw away the advantage of having unknown Quirks when fighting against heroes," Nezu pointed out. 

"He made immature, wild statements with a straight face. He bragged about his possessions. He thought everything would simply go his way. Adding that to what I saw of him when he carried out the attack, the picture I get out of Shigaraki is someone who hasn't gotten rid of his childish sense of omnipotence-- a man child," All Might spoke. 

"Eli-san, you spoke to the man, what would you say?" Nezu asked her, making her look up at him and around the room. 

She let out a small sigh before she leaned back against the chair she sat in, and adjusted her wildly unprofessional clothes that only consisted of a pair of jeans, brown converse, and a large dingy green zip-up jacket. 

"Let's start with the obvious. He hates you All Might, a lot. So I'm guessing he's been through something overly traumatic due to the nature of his Quirk, especially with a Quirk like that. He called the hand on his face father, so maybe look into any family incidents that involve a child with a pretty destructive Quirk. Come to think of it, he's probably the guy who did that to the front gate. Maybe any child abuse records that have to do with someone with T.S. initials because it's uncommon for vigilante turned villains or vice versa to have names too far off from their original," she started with.
