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

Inko(freezing): That doesn't mean-

Mitsuki(hurriedly): That doesn't mean they killed Izuku, the chapter titles have lied before, and execution has other meanings!

The room was deathly silent in the wake of his pronouncement and Izuku could only kick himself and hope that the deathly part wasn't going to be literal. Why had he said all that?! What had he been thinking?!

(everyone was still frozen stiff, hoping beyond hope that Midoriya would make it out alive)

After a few painfully long moments, the door opened with a bang and Twice walked in, followed closely by Magne, and shattered the silence, "Hey guys, why the long faces? Sounds like a party!"

It was enough to shake Dabi out of his funk and his voice practically dripped with venom, "So that *(@#$ basically created Shigaraki to fit his own goals?"

Shigaraki(growling): Apparently.

Izuku gulped, "Y-yes? That, um, yeah, that seems to be the gist of it."

"Wait." Magne looked between Dabi and Shigaraki. "What's going on?"

Spinner: Well she missed a lot...

Shigaraki was still frozen in shock, so it was Dabi who answered, "Shiggy here wasn't born with Distintegration. He could have had a normal, happy life outside of all this, but no. His precious sensei wanted a kid he could raise and manipulate into the perfect villain, so forced a cursed quirk on him!"

"No!" Twice gasped. "That doesn't sound bad at all!"

"And to top it all off, I bet the rest of us are just worthless pebbles on the side of the road next to his masterpiece." Dabi spat. "Shiggy's perfect Sensei is nothing but a selfish, abusive, manipulative piece of @(*^#, no better than..."

Dabi(spitting): Endeavor.

He cut himself off with a growl and Izuku eyed him warily as his hands burst into flames. Hopefully Kurogiri cared enough about his bar to protect it from Dabi's rage, but with how badly he was taking this Izuku wasn't sure they could count on that. He felt like he'd missed something somewhere. He'd been expecting violence from Shigaraki, but the rest of the league shouldn't be close enough to prompt this kind of sympathetic reaction, unless... unless Dabi had experienced something similar in the past.

Dabi: You know what at this rate it's not even going to be a secret anymore.

He didn't have time to fully explore that revelation before Shigaraki recovered enough to start scratching his throat again, "No, Sensei wouldn't... would he? No, he... he saved me when those worthless heroes wouldn't!"

Reiko: From an accident that he caused himself.

"You wouldn't have needed saving if that $#(*^ didn't force his stupid quirk on you!" Dabi shouted.

"Now now," Kurogiri's calm voice cut through, "Let's just calm down and think about this. Young Tomura..."

"Sensei saved me..." Shigaraki sounded lost. "Why would he have...? Just to get me on his side?"

All Might(sadly): And to hurt me with your identity.

"I mean, he is a villain." Magne pointed out. "He manipulates everything. Is it really that odd that he would manipulate a kid and groom them into becoming what he needed?"

Izuku knew it was probably too early to be feeling hope, but with the way things were going, there was a chance the villains would turn on eachother and that might be his best chance to escape, so he gave it a little push, "By creating a situation where you needed to be saved, All for One would have gotten you to trust him instantly. You were a vulnerable little kid and he took advantage of that, knowing that you would do anything his savior told him. Even murder."
