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

Mirio: That's never good...

Izuku and Mei had run until they had found someplace relatively safe to set up camp. Well, maybe the lobby of an abandoned apartment building wasn't necessarily safe, but it was far enough away from the mall that Shigaraki's decay wouldn't be able to reach them and a random enough location that Kurogiri would have a hard time finding them. At least, that's what Izuku was counting on.

Izuku's laptop was still connected to the security feed from the mall and the first thing he saw when he opened up the screen again was a portal opening above the fountain. He gulped and looked at Mei, "We were right."

Compress(frowning): Hold on isn't this their fault?

Mei: What do you mean?

Compress: Well Shigaraki was only there to get videogames and Trapper only started the attack when he was aware of Shigaraki's presence, which he knew because Hatsume and Cheat Code told the group because they thought there was an attack...

Mei(feeling guilty): And in effect starting the attack... oh...

Power Loader: Mei, not your fault.

Tokoyami: Prophecies tend to have a self-fulfilling nature.

Mei nodded grimly, "They can't seal off the exits, right?"

"Not while the fire alarms are going off." Izuku cracked his neck and scooted closer to the screen. "At least not easily, but if they try, I'll know. How's 1A doing?"

Mei grabbed for Izuku's phone and opened the group chat, "About half of the class has responded since Extra-Credit-Kun added Cheat Code, and Aoyama says that the lizard guy who just came through the portal is named Spinner."

"Most likely the new hero killer, judging by the katana." Izuku said absently. "Wait... isn't that where Hitoshi was?! I, uh, I think we might need to call Nezu again... "

Shinso(freezing): Uh oh.

Hitoshi stared at the lizard guy, Spinner, as he screamed out his challenge. He... he didn't have permission to brainwash him. He only had permission to help civilians right now, not fight the villains. He was also pretty sure that Todoroki had been upstairs with Shigaraki when the portal had appeared, which was pretty much all the proof they needed that it was him who had given the league their location and created the opening for this attack. He couldn't afford to worry about that right now though. Todoroki still believed his cover was secure which meant that he wouldn't risk attacking them directly. That meant that the biggest threats were from Kurogiri, Shigaraki, Spinner, and another villain named Trapper that his adults had mentioned was working with the league as well. And of those, only one was currently brandishing a sword at him.

Spinner glared at him as he hopped down off the fountain, sword in hand, "You're one of those UA brats, aren't you? I recognize you from the sports festival. Are you a true hero or just another one of those fakes?"

Shinso: True hero... I hope...

Spinner: I'm pretty sure you are.

Hitoshi swallowed, but didn't move. The heroes were already on their way before the portal even appeared, which meant that they had somewhere between five to ten minutes before anyone showed up to help them, less if they were lucky. That should be well within the window of time where Hitoshi could activate his quirk without taking full control of his target.

Nezu: Yes... use the loophole...

With half a plan in mind, Hitoshi stepped forward, smirking sharply has he spread his arms wide, "I dunno. Maybe I'm a fake or maybe I'm just that awesome. How would you know either way?"
