Bane locked eyes with Stain as he rose from his position over Tomura sheathing his sword and walking over to him. "So you're Bane." Stain stated as he looked over the kid in front of him. It was a shock to find that someone so young had taken such great steps to righting the world as Stain himself had.

"And you're the Hero Killer Stain." Bane said as he looked into his eyes seeing them burn with some unknown fire. He began thinking how he could use this man to achieve his own goals. Obviously from what he'd walked into Stain and Tomura weren't on the best of terms which worked in his favor. If he could get Stain on his side more than Tomura he'd be a powerful ally to have.

"These two brought me here and the only reason I and my apprentices came was to speak with you, but instead I was met with this demented fool." Stain said pointing at Tomura who was getting to his feet and glaring at Stain, but Bane felt some of that wrath directed at him as well.

"You wanted to speak with me, what about?" Bane asked deciding to ignore that dig at Tomura if he fed in to that Tomura would lose his shit and he did not want to have to deal with that.

"DON'T IGNORE ME!" Tomura shouted at the two. "This is my league! I built it and I am its leader not Bane, you will respect me, or I'll kill the both of you!" He said flexing his fingerspreparing to attack. Bane grit his teeth for better or worse he still needed Tomura for the moment, he couldn't risk having the league fracture just yet.

"He's right, Tomura did build this league; think of me as a free agent lending my time here, so I'm free to speak with you none the less." Bane said with a shrug. Let Tomura have this league, for now. Tomura straightened himself seeing that Bane knew his place in this organization, but he still wanted to kill Stain for stabbing him like he had and reopening some of his wounds.

Stain looked between the two of them before speaking to Bane once more. "I don't care whether you're the leader or not it has no bearing on my question. What is your goal, what will drives you to do what you do? Just know if I don't like your answer you and this league will die by our hands." Stain threatened as the scarred man and lizard male by the door both took active stances.

"My goal is simple, true power; strength surpassing any skill. The people of this world worship at a false alter of power. The number one hero is nothing more than the winner of a popularity contest and the people view that as true power. They're all wrong. Power is terrifying nothing can stand in the way of it and I will wield that power to open their eyes to how frail their strength is." Bane said his green eyes staring into Stain's red ones.

"You are worthy. Your conviction has convinced me to help you in your endeavor to change the world, for just like you I am an agent of change. This world is stagnant because there are no true heroes anymore. All these fakes that pander to the camera make me sick, they should all be purged. There is only one man who deserves the title of hero. The man you fought at USJ; ALL MIGHT!" Bane now understood what the fire he saw burning in Stain's eyes was. It was zealotry. This man worshipped heroes and anyone who didn't conform to his idea of heroism set down by All Might will die. Now that he understood this man it would be that much easier to work with him.

"I look forward to changing the world with you Stain." Bane said as Stain and his two students left the bar. Bane sighed looking at Kurogiri who was now able to stand on his own two feet. "Don't you ever bring me into something like that again!" He growled looking to Tomura. "I'm not one of your Nomu Tomura, I don't mindlessly obey you. Order me around like that again and I'll break you!" Tomura glared back at him.

"Everyone thinks this is your league, your plan and it makes me sick. I want you gone!" Tomura shouted bringing his hands forward and rushing at Bane. Inwardly Bane smirked this would be the perfect chance to put Tomura out of commission. He wouldn't be able to kill him, but making him bedridden for a while wouldn't be too bad. He thought before the speakers of the TV crackled with All for One's voice.

"Tomura stop!" Immediately like a leashed dog Tomura stopped just short of the portal's that Kurogiri had made to redirect his hands. "Bane is here to help you, if not for him you would be rotting in a cell somewhere out of my reach, even now he has granted you another ally to your cause. You should think about your actions more carefully." Tomura dropped his hands like a sullen child he stalked over to the bar placing his hands upon it fully Bane watched as the wood began to decay rapidly turning to dust.

Bane smirked at this turn of events. He was starting to drive a wedge between All for One and his precious student, and seeing as how Tomura was All for One's only real way to affect the world if that bond was broken he'd be effectively cut off. "Send me back Kurogiri I have more work to do for our Master." He said barely concealing a smile as he walked through the portal. He'd leave Tomura to stew on that and hopefully his jealousy would cause him to act out foolishly now doubt in an effort to "win back" his master's approval. As Bane stepped into his lab he noticed muscular asleep in a corner of the lab surrounded by six packs and a multitude of convenience store meals.

He's obviously made himself at home. Bane thought to himself as he left. "Now I need to get to work finding my next recruit." He said as he walked through the streets noticing it was almost morning he decided to devote the next couple of days to researching his next target after he slept.

Kenji Hikiishi was walking through the park taking in the warm sunlight on her skin as she brushed some of her maroon hair out of her face looking at all the good people to kill. She wore white rimmed triangular shades an orange button up shirt and blue jeans with running shoes. She continued walking down the path looking this way and that trying to find the perfect victim and soon she did standing there at the entrance to one of the park's running trails was a green haired boy. His hair was in the style of a crewcut and he was wearing a grey muscle shirt with running shorts and red running shoes. He was doing a series of stretches and Kenji couldn't take her eyes off him. She could clearly see the corded muscle flexing beneath his flesh. Oooh a tough guy, well they're all tough at first. She thought as she walked over to say hello.

"Hi there I haven't seen you around before." She said in greeting as the male turned her way giving her a view of his face. Vibrant green eyes and adorable freckles adorned his rugged features. Oh yeah he's definitely my type. She thought as the male eyed her up and down.

"I'm new here bro. Heard this park had one of the toughest trails in the city, so I had to come. Friends call me Shadanki nice to meet ya. Care to keep me company on the trail?" He asked in a thick country accent hiking a thumb towards the path in question. Kenji nodded eagerly as she watched Shadanki take off down the path.

"You couldn't have chosen a nicer day to die Shadanki." Kenji said as she took off after him watching Shadanki run in front of her. His powerful legs eating up the trail like it was nothing. It was taking no small amount of effort to keep up with Shadanki, but it's not like Kenji was planning on finishing this trail with him anyway. Once they were far enough away from the trail's head and not seeing anyone else around Kenji decided to make her move. She increased her speed her legs propelling her right towards Shadanki. Her heart was pounding, but not just from the exertion of running, but the excitement she always felt when about to kill. She could already imagine the feeling of smashing Shadanki's body into pieces. Don't worry though I'll leave that pretty face of yours alone. I promise. Kenji thought to herself as she launched herself at Shadanki's back preparing to throw a punch right at the base of his spine.

Right as Kenji was about to make contact Shadanki spun on his heel grabbing hold of Kenji's face smashing her glasses into her face as he slammed Kenji into the dirt of the path a large cloud of dust erupting around the two as Shadanki placed his left foot on Kenji's right wrist and his right knee on Kenji's left forearm. "I was wondering when you were going to make your move. It's nice to meet you Magne." Kenji's eyes widened in shock between Shadanki's fingers on his face.
