MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Hitoshi kept his hands in his pockets as he walked down the deserted streets, glad to see they'd been correct about most of the other villains rushing to stake out the objectives in the first few minutes. Once the heroes arrived in a couple hours, this would be one of the only safe places to be recognizable as a villain because the way the exercise was currently run, the civilians were definitely not on their side. They'd avoid it later, once they got their hands on some civilian tokens, but for now, this area had exactly what Hitoshi needed. Weapons.

Shigaraki: Yeah, better get that out of the way first.

The pawn shop Izuku had told him to go to was at the bottom of a staircase in the middle of a dark alley, so about as shady as it could get. Hitoshi didn't bother knocking on the door before going inside. The most dangerous villains acted like they already owned everything and then worked to make that happen, so that's what he and Izuku were going to do.

Toga: Aw those two are already doing so well.

The man at the counter looked up as Hitoshi came in, "Hello there. You're a bit younger than my usual clientele, but I'm not one to turn away a customer."

"I'm sure." Hitoshi said dryly. "I hear this is the best place to get weapons."

The man grinned, "You heard right. You can call me Shiguro. What did you have in mind?

Power Loader: Huh he must be related to Shin Shiguro.

Mei: Weird coincidence.

"The works." Hitoshi said smoothly. "I need at least 4 handguns and an assortment of knives, but I've recently come into a little cash, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got."

Shiguro grinned and straightened up a bit, "Ooh, I always like a challenge, especially when it comes with deep pockets."

He gestured for Hitoshi to wait and disappeared into the back room for a few minutes, which Hitoshi used to get a look around. There wasn't much to see, honestly, but that was as expected and he ran through what he knew about the guy he was dealing with. He and Izuku had found a forum for past participants and it seemed like everyone had something to say about this guy. From what he'd heard, this Shiguro guy seemed almost too good to be true.

Monoma: Because he is, isn't he?

Because he was.

Komori: Monoma called it.

Spinner: Yeah a lot of brokers are too good to be true.

Kurogiri: At least we have Giran.

Shiguro came back into the front with a large duffel bag, "Here you go, kid. Tell me what you think?"

Hitoshi gave him a wary look before taking the duffel and looking through it. There was a variety of handguns, shotguns, and a sniper rifle, which would definitely come in handy, as well as a few knives and explosives, which they wouldn't need to buy if everything went according to plan, but it was probably a good idea to have them, just in case the job later went south. Overall, it seemed like a good start and they could always steal more later if they needed it.

Mina(perturbed): Wait why wouldn't they need to buy explosives?

Midoriya(gulping): I have no idea...

"Throw in a bit more ammo and we'll call it good." Hitoshi said. "Hey, you've got a pretty good variety of goods here, how do you keep track of it all?"

"Oh, it's my quirk." Shiguro said. "I have an insanely good memory, so everything I have and everything I get goes right up here in my big old brain and stays there. A lot less risky than keeping physical copies lying around for the police to find."
