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

Denki awkwardly looked across at their cellmates. It had been a full fifteen minutes since the heroes had thrown them in here and yet none of the three of them had even said a word to them, just glaring whenever Denki or Kyoka ever made the mistake of looking their way. The biggest one shot a particularly nasty glare at them and Denki hurried to look away, "So, uh... when do you think the Shadows are coming to save us?"

(everyone sighed in sympathy)

Kyoka gave him a pitying look.

"What?" Denki asked. "Izuku always has a plan! Us getting arrested was probably, I don't know, like some master plan to get us into the hero agency or something. Any minute now, he's gonna come walking through that door, or Hitoshi's gonna brainwash one of the heroes and..."

Shinso: Sorry Kaminari.

"They're not coming." Kyoka cut him off. "Don't take it personal, but they're in this game to win, no matter who they have to stab in the back to do that. You do realize that they set us up right? The heroes knew exactly where we were."

"Oh come on." Now it was Denki's turn to roll his eyes. "They're good guys, and our friends, they wouldn't do something like that."

Midoriya: Sorry...

Kyoka shrugged, "Your funeral."

The heroes hadn't left anyone in here to guard them, apparently confident in their prison's ability to keep them in, but Denki noticed the cameras in every corner, so they still weren't alone, at least, not really. The heroes were watching their every move.

Suddenly, Kyoka tensed, "Someone's coming."

Kurogiri: Most likely Midoriya.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Denki started to hear footsteps echoing down the hall. Denki turned toward the sound and his face spit into a grin when he saw Izuku walking toward their cell, "Hey man! It's so good to see you, what took you so long?"

"Oh, it took me a bit to hack into the security system and turn off the cameras so the heroes wouldn't know I'm down here. " Izuku smiled, but something seemed... off somehow. He wasn't giving Denki his friendly smile, he was giving him the calculated one he normally reserved for villains.

Vlad: You think?

Denki shook it off; Kyoka's suspicions must just be getting to him, Izuku wouldn't treat them like that. They were friends! He ran up to the bars as Izuku got closer, "So what's the plan? Are you going to pick the lock? Hack into the security system? How are you getting us out?"

Izuku didn't even acknowledge his question. Instead, he turned to talk to their cellmates, "I believe the three of you still owe a favor to Shadows."

Kaminari: We're dead.

Jirou: Yup.

When the three villains reluctantly nodded, Izuku's smile got a little sharper. He reached into his pocket, pulled out one of the game knives, the ones with paint along the edges to simulate blood, and tossed it to one of the villains. She caught it in one fluid motion and Denki felt a chill run down his spine when Izuku jerked his head toward him and Kyoka.

"Kill them."

(quite a few people shuddered at how cold Midoriya sounded. It was so different from his usual happy voice)

Denki's jaw dropped as Izuku turned on his heel and walked away. He didn't even have the decency to look back at the friends that he had just condemned to death. Kyoka had already fallen into a combat stance. Honestly, she had probably been tensing for a fight from the moment she heard Izuku coming. She'd told him that but Denki had been too trusting... too stupid, to do the same.
