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

Midoriya: Oh boy... dad...

"Alright, I can work with this." Izuku put his notebook away as the future assassin in front of him stood and bowed. "I'll get the plan to you by the end of the week."

"There you are, Mastermind! I've been looking for you."

Inko: And there he is...

Izuku scowled as Hisashi Midoriya, aka Dragon, aka dead-beat dad of the year, walked into the room like he owned the place. It had only taken a few months in the villain world for Izuku to figure out the truth behind the whole working overseas thing he'd been told his entire life. The worst part was, he wasn't even surprised. Sure, Mom might believe that her loving husband was just working overseas because that was where his company needed him, but Izuku had always thought it was just a little too suspicious that he'd been unavoidably transferred right after Izuku was diagnosed quirkless.

Inko: But Hisashi didn't do that...

Jana: Not in this world but there's an awful lot of other worlds where he's not exactly the best parent.

Izuku glanced at the man his meeting was actually with, who looked just as surprised to see Hisashi as he was. Good, that meant he wouldn't have to kill him. Izuku put enough hatred behind his glare to send most seasoned villains running and turned to his father, "Get out of my way, Dragon. I have no interest in talking with you."

He moved to walk past Hisashi, who stopped him by grabbing his arm. His father really was an idiot wasn't he? Did he conveniently forget what Izuku did to those who crossed him, or did he just delude himself into thinking that couldn't possibly happen to him?

Mitsuki: Well this Hisashi is an idiot.

"Now, now, Mastermind. I just want to talk. Giran was being an ass and trying to keep us apart, but he's out of the way now, so there's no need to pretend you're not honored to work with a major player in the underground such as myself."

"I assure you, the decision not to work with you was entirely my own." Izuku growled. Maybe if the guy wanted to work with him, he should have stuck around to raise him. As it was, Hisashi couldn't even recognize his own son's voice.

Dabi: Sheesh what is it with everyone having bad parents?

Toga: Yeah everyone in the League does. Mine didn't let me drink blood, Shiggy's dad is as bad as Dabi's, Kurogiri doesn't even remember his...

Spinner: Maybe we should change our group name to the League of People with Bad Parents.

Twice: Great idea! No!

Hisashi frowned, "Come on, now, Mastermind, be reasonable! The Dragon's Horde is an extremely successful gang, we have the money to pay you for your services."

"There is no sum of money you could pay me to convince me to work with you." Izuku wrenched his arm out of Hisashi's grip. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do."

Todoroki: Yeah, don't even bother with him.

He kept a few knives ready in case Hisashi's men tried to attack him on the way out, but apparently they were smarter than their boss because they let him pass. Someone followed him, but Izuku lost them easily enough on the rooftops. Izuku shook his head as he changed out of his villain outfit and walked home.

Why his mom had ever married an asshole like Hisashi, he would never know.

Inko: ...Should I say something?

Mitsuki: He's not your Hisashi so no.

Hisashi knocked the papers off his desk in frustration, "Who does that... snot-nosed kid think he is? I am Dragon! I am respected! Mastermind hasn't even been on the scene two years! What gives him the right to snub me like that?"
