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

"So let me get this straight," Izuku said tersely, "you want me to join your little yakuza, rather than have me in a consulting role as was the agreement when I showed up here."

Shigaraki: Oh great Overhaul's trying to recruit him.

Those who were on the Shie Hassaikai raid(tensing): Oh no.

Overhaul simply looked unimpressed, "You've done a few impressive things in your short career," he said, scratching at his wrist, "But with the recent defeat of All for One, villains will be looking for a leader to fill that vacuum of power. Your actions strike fear into people's hearts, but you have no vision. No plan for society beyond making a quick buck. I have a plan, and a vision of the world without the infection of quirks. A vision you no doubt agree with, being quirkless yourself, if the rumors are true." He clenched his fist. "Put yourself under me, and I'll show you how well I can use you."

"I think you deliberately misunderstand me, Overhaul," Izuku grit his teeth, "I have no intention to join any group, nor do I particularly care what happens to society, as you put it. I'm not even trying to be the leader of the underground! I am more than happy to let you or Shigaraki or whoever the hell else has the desire for the throne take it. What I value is having the freedom and power to do what I want when I want to, and that sometimes means working with rival groups, so joining any organization would be counterproductive to my goals."

All Might: At least they're not working together...

Tsukauchi: Small mercies I suppose.

He leaned forward, "And as for the issue of quirks, don't presume that you know what I want. Quirks are tools, nothing more, nothing less. I don't hate them or see them as an infection that needs to be eradicated, unlike you. What I do hate, though, are people who act like the world belongs to them, simply because they have a powerful quirk. In other words, Overhaul, I hate people like you." Izuku stood up, and walked toward the door, fingering his throwing knives and getting out of the range of Overhaul's quirk, "So, no. I will not be joining your yakuza, and this meeting is over."

Chronostatis tried to follow Mastermind as he left without being dismissed, but Overhaul simply held up a hand, "Don't worry, Chrono. I have ways to convince him." He glared at the door where Mastermind had disappeared, "Find out everything you can about Mastermind. He will be my disciple soon enough."

Toga: Uh oh.

Twice: Whatcha worried about? Oh yeah uh oh!

Inko walked home carrying a bag of groceries in each hand. Normally, she wouldn't go to the store so late, but they were out of milk and she'd had a late shift at work, so here she was, walking back to the apartment an hour after dark. Hopefully Izuku would be home by the time she got there. He had been spending a lot more time out with his friends lately, which made her really happy, even though she hadn't met any of them yet. Lately he'd even been texting a boy named Shoto almost constantly, something Inko had never seen him do before, not even with Katsuki. Maybe she should ask what Shoto's favorite food was and have Izuku invite him to dinner? Maybe Himiko or Tomura would even join them! It would be nice to finally have faces to put to the names. All she knew about them so far was that Shoto was sweet, Himiko was high energy, and Tomura was a little too into video games.

Dabi: ...Well that's one way to describe wanted criminals without calling them wanted criminals.

Maybe she should ask Izuku when their birthdays were? They could shop. For the perfect gifts together, maybe even make a day of it! It would be the perfect excuse to hang out of her son now that he was finally thriving and out the weird depression that had taken hold of him for a few months almost a year ago.
