Kiras quirk- Photonic Flicker allows you to transform your hands and forearms into pure, solidified light. This transformation isn't merely cosmetic; it imbues your limbs with the properties of light itself. When activated, your hands and forearms emit a gentle, warm glow, the intensity of which can be controlled. At its peak, the light can be blindingly bright, but it remains tangible and can be manipulated with great precision. The transformation is smooth and swift, feeling like a surge of vibrant energy flows into your arms.You can project intense flashes of light from your hands to disorient opponents, temporarily blinding them and creating openings. This light can also form a shimmering shield to deflect some attacks.Prolonged or excessive use of Photonic Flicker will drain your stamina significantly, leading to muscle fatigue and a dimming of your light. If pushed too far, the transformation can involuntarily revert, leaving your limbs vulnerable.Extremely bright ambient light sources (like direct sunlight at its peak) can sometimes interfere with the precision control of your own light, making it harder to form delicate constructs. Conversely, complete darkness can make it more challenging to gauge the intensity of your own projections.

# The New Recruit

The League of Villains' hideout was unusually quiet.

Shigaraki sat slouched in his chair, fingers tapping impatiently against his armrest while Dabi leaned against the wall, half-listening to whatever Spinner was saying. Toga was sitting upside down on the couch, humming to herself, while Twice argued with himself in the corner.

Then the door opened.

Kurogiri stepped inside first.

Behind him was a girl none of them had seen before.

She immediately smiled.

"Hi!" she said brightly, looking around the room. "Oh my gosh... so this is the League of Villains?"

Toga tilted her head.

"Yep!"

The girl clasped her hands together.

"I'm so excited to be here! I've always thought villains were way more interesting than heroes."

Dabi barely glanced at her.

"Great."

She looked directly at him.

Her smile widened.

"You're Dabi, right?"

"Unfortunately."

"I've heard so much about you."

Dabi raised an eyebrow.

"Can't imagine any of it was good."

She giggled.

"Well... you're definitely not like the other guys."

Toga's smile slowly disappeared.

Shigaraki looked up.

Spinner sighed.

Twice whispered, "Oh no. / Oh YES."

The girl walked farther into the room, looking around dramatically.

"I should probably warn you guys, though... I'm not really like other girls."

Toga blinked.

"You're not?"

"Nope." She smiled proudly. "I don't really get along with girls. They're always so dramatic and jealous."

Toga stared at her.

"...Oh."

The girl continued.

"I've always preferred hanging out with guys. They're just so much less complicated."

Dabi gave a dry laugh.

"Give it five minutes."

She ignored him.

Instead, she walked over and sat beside Dabi.

"You're actually really attractive up close."

Dabi stared at her.

"...Thanks?"

Toga's eye twitched.

Shigaraki slowly rubbed his face.

"This is going to be annoying."

The girl looked offended.

"I'm not annoying."

"No one said you were."

"You were thinking it."

"Yeah."

She suddenly smiled again.

"Anyway! I think I'll fit in perfectly here."

Toga hopped off the couch.

"Really?"

"Definitely."

Toga stepped closer, smiling sweetly.

"Then we're going to be best friends!"

The girl looked her up and down.

"Um... I'm not really a 'girly girl.'"

Toga's smile became terrifyingly wide.

"Neither am I."

Dabi snorted.

Spinner covered his mouth to hide a laugh.

Shigaraki finally stood.

"Enough."

Everyone went quiet.

He looked at the new recruit.

"You've been brought here because you supposedly have a useful Quirk."

Her expression immediately became serious.

"Yeah. I do."

"Then prove you're worth keeping."

She nodded.

"Of course."

But before she could demonstrate anything, she glanced at Dabi again.

"Just so we're clear... I'm definitely not going to be one of those girls who gets distracted by the guys."

Silence.

Dabi stared at her.

Toga stared at her.

Spinner stared at her.

Twice pointed at her.

"She's definitely getting distracted by the guys. / She's absolutely getting distracted by the guys."

Shigaraki's eye twitched.

"...This is going to be a long day."
