MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 2

Reiko: Speaking of Stain...

Izuku didn't know what possessed him to move. Nezu had told him that he was only supposed to get Iida to safety and leave Stain to him, but then Izuku saw the knife and knew he had to do something. Time seemed to slow down as he drew his gun and shot the blade right as it began to fall. The gunshot echoed too loudly as the force of the bullet knocked the sword off course and sparks flew as the metal hit the concrete. Izuku swallowed as Stain slowly turned to stare straight at him.

Uraraka: Deku!

Izuku's brain was working overtime. He didn't know how injured Iida was, or exactly what Stain's quirk was, or even if the other pro he saw slumped against the wall was still alive... Nezu was a few paces behind him, and was short enough that Stain probably hadn't spotted him yet, but he had most definitely seen Izuku. Neither of them had physical quirks that could overpower the hero killer and Izuku didn't have enough experience to fight him on his own. Right now, the best option would be for Izuku to distract Stain long enough for Nezu to come up with a plan and contact whatever backup he could.

Eraser was going to kill him.

(everyone snorted)

Izuku discreetly took off his utility belt and dropped it to the floor along with his grappling hook, hoping that Nezu would be able to use them in whatever scheme he was already coming up with, then jumped off the roof, using the fire escapes and gutters to parkour his way down to the alleyway. Stain simply watched his descent, eyes narrowed as he took in his new opponent.

"Another child?" Stain scoffed. "Leave now and I'll let you live. I have business to attend to."

Midoriya: I'm not going to leave.

"Let me take Ingenium and you'll never see me again." Izuku said. Prioritize the rescue. Nezu would be able to follow Stain as long as he and Iida were safe. "Let's go Iida."

Iida: I... I can't move...

"I... Midoriya?" Iida's voice sounded broken and Izuku really hoped he'd be okay after all this. "I can't move my body. Ever since he cut me I've been paralyzed."

Izuku frowned. That matched the theories he'd read on Stain's quirk. So cutting must activate his power somehow. That meant he'd have to avoid getting cut.

Toga: Easier said than done! Oh this is already so bloody I love it!

Stain scowled, "This fake isn't worth your attention. He came here to kill me, thinking only of vengeance, not heroics. He must die, but your fate is still undecided."

"Midoriya, don't get involved." Iida pleaded. "Please, this is my fight!"

Todoroki: He's not going to listen Iida.

"No offense, Iida," Izuku said dryly, "but you're not in any condition to take on the hero killer right now."

"Enough!" Stain growled. "When your friend decided to fight me, it guaranteed the weaker of us would be culled! If you insist on protecting a worthless bug like him, I will have no choice but to kill you as well."

Izuku steadied his gun and aimed, "No one is worthless."

Nejire: Exactly!

Mirio wanted to help fight the nomu, but it was just too dangerous to get too close to Endeavor while he fought, so he and Gran Torino were currently working to evacuate the surrounding buildings and making sure none of the civilians got hit by Endeavor's powerful fire blasts. Endeavor's son, who had introduced himself as Shoto, was trying to help them, so Gran had given him emergency permission to use his quirk to protect others so he could shield civilians with his ice and prevent his father's fire from weakening the already unstable buildings.
