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

"Midoriya?" Present Mic's voice, much less exuberant than normal, brought him back to the present and Izuku looked over at Mei, who looked like she was about to throw up. How long had they been sitting there? "Are you and the other little listener ok? You went quiet there. And what was that about dust?"

"Uh," Izuku swallowed the bile that was starting to climb up his throat, "The, leader... his quirk... he just killed... it's my fault..."

Thirteen(wincing): Yikes that's going to make them worry about us huh?

Vlad: Or the students.

There was a panicked flurry of noise on the other end of the comm, but the white noise in Izuku's brain was louder. He'd never seen someone die before. If it wasn't for Izuku's interference, would Shigaraki still have killed that guy? Probably not, so it was all Izuku's fault that he was dead.

Shigaraki: Oh for- it's not your fault I killed someone!

"Slow down, Young Midoriya." All Might's voice wasn't quite the same as it was when he was in his hero form, but it still brought back enough memories of long hours in front of the computer to be slightly comforting. "Start from the beginning. First off, is Eraserhead all right?"

"W-what?" Izuku looked at the screen helplessly. Even though it seemed like the world had stopped for him, the fight was still going. Eraserhead was still slowly being overwhelmed by the cannon fodder as Shigaraki and Kurogiri watched impassively, as if they hadn't just casually left a body in the middle of the plaza.

Kurogiri: We're villains. Of course.

"Eraserhead is fine." Mei reported, apparently recovering from the shock a little quicker than Izuku had been able to. "The villain killed one of his own men."

"He killed him because of me, Mei-chan." Izuku's voice cracked. "That man is dead because of me."

Mei: No he's not.

Mei looked at him, the emotions in her eyes swirling between pity, helplessness, and something else that Izuku couldn't' name, "I know, but they're gonna kill a lot more people if we do nothing."

Power Loader(muttering to himself): Oh Mei...

Izuku took a deep breath and let it out slowly before addressing the teachers and throwing himself into his analysis. He could deal with... everything later, "The leader's name is Shigaraki. He has a disintegration quirk that seems to spread from wherever he touches. Most likely a five point activation quirk, just like Uraraka's gravity nullification. Unknown whether he can control the speed with which something turns to dust. The warp quirk user's name is Kurogiri and he appears to be the right hand, also more mature than Shigaraki. All other villains are most likely hired muscle."

Shigaraki: Got that right.

Izuku still didn't want to use the guns that Nezu had mentioned, but he went into the defense system and started booting them up anyway. If Shigaraki was willing to kill so easily, Izuku had to be prepared. Mei was right, all he could worry about right now was making sure Shigaraki didn't kill anyone else.

Inko: ...He won't kill anyone will he?

Mitsuki: He might have to, Inko, to save people...

"Mei-chan, you take over the mountain zone." Izuku said. "I need to focus on the plaza."

"Will do, Izu-kun!" Mei turned toward the screen and her eyes widened. "Oh my god!"

Shinso: Okay now what happened?!

"What?" Izuku turned to check what was wrong, only to end up with Mei's hands over his eyes. "Mei-chan! What are you doing? I can't see!"

"What's going on over there?" Power Loader demanded. "Kids!"
