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.
