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

Izuku scowled at his reflection as he untied the tie for the tenth time that night. They were going to be late if he kept this up.

"Here, Izuku." Shoto grabbed his hands and placed them at his sides, "Let me do it. If there was anything that (*^%$# did right, he at least made sure I knew how to tie a tie."

Inko: Izuku remind me to help you learn how to tie a tie when we get back.

Midoriya: Okay mom.

Izuku huffed, "Yeah, well, I guess that proves there are multiple breeds of dead-beat dads, huh? The overbearing abusive assholes and the ones that $*&^# off into the sunset the moment the doctor says 'quirkless'."

"There." Shoto smiled at him and Izuku rolled his eyes when he looked down to find a perfect triangle knot. How come Shoto had to be so good at everything?

Todoroki: Practice. You'll get there eventually, Midoriya.

Midoriya: Thanks, Todoroki.

"Re-Destro said he was sending a car, right?" Izuku grabbed his bag, filled with probably too many notebooks and knives, but hey, it paid to be prepared, right?

Shoto nodded, "Dabi texted and said they already got picked up, so they should be here any minute." There was a knock on the door. "And there they are now."

Momo: Why does this remind me of going to a fancy party?

Izuku straightened his tie one last time before opening the door with a smile. A chauffeur led them down to the waiting limo that looked amazingly out of place in the bad neighborhood Izuku's base was in. Izuku almost laughed as he imagined the shiny black covered in graffiti like the walls behind it. Inside the car, Dabi was laughing as Shigaraki tried to disintegrate his tie and Compress scolded him. Compress was pretty much the only one who didn't look vaguely uncomfortable in his evening wear, but the Meta Liberation Army had insisted that they pull out all the stops when they met the infamous Mastermind.

Toga: Sheesh fancy clothes- bleech.

Twice: You said it. Nah fancy clothes are awesome!

It didn't take them long to reach Re-Destro's mansion. The limousine pulled up and a butler opened the doors and took their coats while another led them up an elevator to where the surviving members of the MLA leadership were waiting around the already set dinner table. Re-Destro himself smiled amiably and stood when they entered.

"Hello Mastermind. I must say it's a pleasure to finally meet you." He gestured for them all to sit. "You've acquired quite a fearsome reputation."

Mirko: No (#*$&.

Jana: Language!

Izuku chuckled, "A fact I'm proud of, Re-Destro. Your own reputation, however, leaves something to be desired. Perhaps you'd care to enlighten me on what your group hopes to accomplish, because for now it seems your only great accomplishment is staying in the shadows."

Re-Destro's knuckles turned white as he clenched his fist around his chopsticks, but he smiled. Izuku's eyes narrowed. So he was easily stressed, but gave a great effort to hide it, why?

Shigaraki: Who knows?

"Our group is called the Meta Liberation Army." Izuku recognized the speaker as Koku Hanabata, the leader of the Hearts and Mind party, and the one Shoto called Trumpet. The man had quite a bit of political power, something that could be very useful in the future if they were to work together.

Tsukauchi: Noting that down...

Izuku turned to him, "Yes, Shoto told me as much, but what is your vision? I assume you're taking cues from the original movement?"
