63 Talking with Shigaraki

The next day

Mei was wearing civilian clothes, she was very cute! She held Bullet's hand, dragging him around a Mall, shouting "HAHAH! LET'S GO TO THE HARDWARE STORE!" Bullet was dragged behind her helplessly, smiling happily as he nodded.

Mei grinned at him and giggled happily as they rushed in.

A bit later, Mei walked out happily as Bullet carried a crate on his shoulder. She pointed forward, "To the Support store! I'll get inspiration from these shitty products!" Bullet followed her around the Mall, smiling happily as he watched her laugh and point at the cashiers, calling them clowns.

She shouted a lot and dragged him around, but she seemed happier than usual.

Bullet didn't know that when he asked her to come she was so happy she rolled around and blew something up.

She couldn't even sleep last night, thinking about it.

As they were walking, Mei went ahead into a store and Bullet followed her but he suddenly frowned, pulling a gun. He pressed the barrel against a hooded guy's head as the guy held 4 fingers on Bullet's back.

The guy smiled and looked at Bullet, revealing his face. Bullet frowned and Shigaraki grinned, "Long time no see… Let's put the gun away… Wouldn't want your precious girlfriend getting hurt…"

Bullet frowned and half his face curled up, "Threaten us? Funny?" Shigaraki chuckled, "You're more like a villain to me, anyway… You know how my Quirk works right? 5 fingers down and you turn to dust. So let's talk for a bit… I don't think people will take kindly to you blowing brains all over them, right?"

Bullet frowned and looked around at the people, he moved the gun inside the hood and said in a strange double voice, "Talk, trash." Shigaraki chuckled, "My master thinks that that Midoriya fellow is the real problem, but I can't help it… I want to kill you so bad! It's really a problem. But I have a different problem, Stain is getting so much attention, what about me?"

Bullet just looked at him and Shigraki rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes. Stain attention. Me no! What do I do?" Bullet sneered, "Trash Villain, what attention? You no goals just chaos. For what? Kill All-Might? Hahahah!"

Shigaraki frowned slightly and Bullet went on, "Kill All-Might, good plan! After what do? Kill Endeavor? Then Best Jeanist? Then Mirko? Then… You get? Villain never win! Kill people, have fun, then die. Simple life. We no read, but know story. Hero beat but get back up, beat Villain. Always the same!"

Bullet laughed at him, sneering, "You smart. Come populated place. We kill, villain now. We let go, die. We leave, maybe people die. Better than before, learn good." Shigaraki grinned, "Thanks~ Me want kill you. You want kill me. Think you most dangerous hero. No worry about image, just kill villain. Big trouble if world same."

He leaned in and whispered, "But world not same. This limit you. You save mall, go Jail. Understand? People jail, all villains. Kill you eventually. Heroes no like you, Villains no like you. World no like you… Came to ask, why continue?"

Shigaraki seemed to be frustrated, adding, "Everyone hate you, how continue!? No hate everyone too?" Bullet snorted and said "Mask done talk to you, insane." before changing to a kind smile, "Bullet talk instead." Shigaraki looked at him and tilted his head, this guy was hard to keep up with… like Twice but completely stable!

He didn't know about Maskless or his first move would've been to destroy the mask!

Bullet smiled kindly, saying "Bullet continue because Bullet real hero! Fake hero you see on TV, do commercial for money and fame. Say they save but you ever see save?" Shigaraki and Bullet both shook their heads.

Bullet curled his lips, "Nobody save Bullet when thrown in trash. Bullet born no Quirk, say never be hero! People pass alley say look trash, laugh and leave. No care. Leave alone, look disgust!"

Shigaraki paused and looked at Bullet, saying slowly "Me too." Bullet nodded and tapped his face with the gun, "Bullet figure. Why villain if no problem? But! We take different path, you angry. Very angry. Bullet can see! Maybe if find before, we friends in trash. Fight to live together. But you too angry now. No hope."

Bullet pointed at Shigaraki's eyes, continuing "See in eyes, only want destroy. Mindless destroy, no purpose in life. Destroy make you feel something. Or maybe Bullet wrong. Fell nothing but look for something to feel, chose destroy, chose kill. Wrong choice? Bullet don't know. Maybe you right!"

Shigaraki was silent and Bullet went on, smiling kindly "Hear phrase in Drama, winner king, loser thief. You win, you not villain anymore but hero! Understand? Bullet think world sick, villains villain because of Quirk. So dumb! You Quirk villainous so you villain, this make sense? No! Good Quirk! Bullet very jealous. But world like this, think you villain you kill one person."

Bullet shook his head, "Even accident! Boom villain! How dumb? Hero arrest villain, let escape catch again! Why? Kill villain other villain scared! Terrified! Everybody Bullet meet say same, Hero kill bad, but why?"

Shigaraki replied softly "Because they think killing is what separates heroes from villains. Heroes Arrest, Villains kill." Bullet nodded and pushed Shigaraki to sit down, replying "Yes. But this not hypocrite? See? Reason dumb! Save people, kill villain, you villain? No sense. So Bullet say, maybe right! World sick, twisted. Hero hero for fame, not justice! Hero see villain can't handle just leave alone, wait for other hero."

Bullet laughed, "These not real hero. Stain right but too much! Bullet don't know goal for you, but kill normal people not right." Bullet moved Shigaraki's head to the people passing by, saying "See people? Everyday look at Bullet with disgust because born no Quirk. Angry, of course! Sad, mhm! But what Bullet do? Nothing! People like this, can only change with action."

Bullet added with a nod, "Bullet give advice. You think people care about hero and villain, you wrong. Bullet see video of Stain too. See comments, have translate to understand. People crazy, think Stain right!"

Shigaraki nodded and turned to Bullet, who went on, "People very stupid. Very weak, vulnerable. Like sheep. Bullet tell you, kill people nobody really care. Villain do bad thing, normal. People die, have name said once, twice, forgotten. You know why?"

Shigaraki muttered, "No care about people!" Bullet nodded, "Big joke! Care about people! Maybe only few! Bullet care because see smile, feel good! One time, Bullet walking, see kids call Hero! Teacher look at Bullet disgust, call freak. Kid laugh and clap for Bullet, smiling happy but also say freak. Not understand what mean."

He smiled happily, "People like Stain, no like you. Main reason, Stain have goal, make speech. People believe anything. You good, very evil. Bullet hate you seriously! But Hero help everyone! No matter what Stain say, people believe! Stain say make Japan boom! People believe! You kill people, nobody care really."

He shook his head and continued, "Second chance? Change? Bullet think big joke. See once hero accident hurt person, save from villain. People hate, say not hero, guy give up and become normal person. You want attention, very easy! You control people. Voice strong! Many voice even stronger! Can make anything happen!"

Bullet nodded and went on, "You see book Meta something?" Shigaraki asked "Meta Liberation War?" Bullet nodded, "Yes. Bullet no read, someone say book good! Bullet get someone help read, book trash! So crazy! Say that everyone use Quirks get whatever want! This crazy! Everyone do whatever want, after when not enough what happen? War! World sick, yes. Meta book even worse! But people think inspiring, why? Villain write and people like, join cause. This stupid no?"

Shigaraki frowned slightly and nodded, Bullet nodded along, explaining "People don't know what want. Don't know what good for. Think meta idea fix like magic! Impossible! Bullet tell you, want change? You destroy and rebuild new. Bullet hate you, but say this best way. Make group, send people for Hero, force to quit! Less Hero more chance win! But Bullet tell you this, listen careful, okay?"

Bullet leaned in and his voice distorted to manic and vicious, "You do whatever want… We will kill you. Lose arms, legs, life, kill you all the same. Hehe~ We not like Fake Hero, we fix problem permanently! World sick but never perfect. Always going to be villain because people greedy. Want what can't have. We kill you as example! Show world that evil never win! No matter what happen later, we still hero because you kill too much, save countless people!"

Bullet leaned in and whispered, "Send people for OUR friend and love, We kill normal sheep too. People sway by villains, villains too. Trick only work of Fake hero. Real hero don't give a damn about people opinion. Save is enough. What more say? People all trash. Idiotic trash. Quirkless bad so hate Quirkless, Villain bad so hate Villain, even Hero bad people hate Hero!"

Bullet grinned crazily, "HehehahahahahaAHAHHAHAHA~! You move, we taste your brain. Understand? You think smart, but we all know plan. No kill you today, lucky. Enjoy day with girl love. You touch one person, Bullet kill you TODAY! No matter where go, no matter consequence, We tear limb from limb and slaughter you. You walk now."

He pulled the hammer back on his gun and shoved Shigaraki forward, breaking free from his hands. Bullet pushed him to the exit, grinning cruelly, "Touch. Go ahead. We hope you do. Kill you in an instant. Bullet no like blood but we love!" his eyes were starting to get crazy as he growled savagely, licking his lips, "Drink your blood give Quirk? We want to know. We have your Quirk, forget about joke plans, we change world by force! Hehhehehe!"

Shigaraki was sweating, who the fuck was this guy?! This wasn't like anyone he had met before! How many personalities did he have?!

Shigaraki asked "Who are you?" Bullet curled his lips to the extreme, "You find out and die. Still want to know?" Shigaraki clenched his fists, his speech was getting better and better… He said "No…" Bullet licked his lips and his eyes were frenzied, "Boo. We hope you say yes! Heh…" before cracking his neck unnaturally.

He shoved Shigaraki out of the mall as Shigaraki shouted "Kurogiri!" Bullet raised the gun and grinned, "DIE!" firing three shots as Shigaraki jumped into a portal and escaped quickly.

Bullet ran to the portal but it closed in front of him. Bullet strained his neck, cracking it before muttering "Stop! We take over!" before he forcefully put the gun away, returning to normal.

Bullet rubbed the mask while holding the crates for Mei, looking slightly worried. He muttered, "Not a nightmare…" while Mask retorted in his head, 'Tell you! Scary guy! New scary guy! Maybe not new… Maybe always there!'

Bullet shook his head and muttered "Impossible. Bullet see before no?" Mask retorted, 'Voice! Loud voice no mask, him! Not mask!' Bullet frowned grimly, "No tell anyone. Make scared." Mask snorted 'Mask not stupid like you.'

Bullet turned around to see Mei dragging a crate over and struggling. He smiled to himself, happy as he ran over to help her. She smiled and patted the crates, looking at the list, saying "Now I have everything I need to make the stuff on your list! Ah! And your new costume! It should be finished after a few days but not before you leave for the Summer Camp!"

Bullet blinked and nodded sweetly. She looked at him and laughed at the skylight, "HAHAHA! THAT'S IT! THE FACE! HAHAHAHA! I LOVE YOU!" before freezing. Bullet gawked and Mei blushed a deep red, "Mei make mistake, mean hate you! Hate you a lot! Just dog! Barking dog! AHAH!" as she covered her mouth and looked around in a panic.

Bullet hug Mei tight, smiling "Mei so cute. Bullet dog, okay but still love!" Mei struggled and laughed uncontrollably "HAAH! YOU'RE NUTS!" Bullet grabbed the crate away and Mei struggled, "LET ME GO YOU DAMN CUTE DOGGY! AHAH! ARE YOU GOING TO BARK FOR THIS GOD OR WHAT!? AHAHAH! MORTAL! PUT ME DOWN! I AM YOUR CREATOR! AHAHAH!"

Bullet carried Mei and the crates and left.
