Midoriya knew that he had to act fast. He scanned the room, looking for a way out or a weapon he could use to defend himself. But before he could make a move, he heard a voice behind him.
"Hold it, kid."
Midoriya turned to see a tall, dark-skinned man with a scarred face and piercing red eyes. He did recognize the man, Tomura Shigaraki, the leader...
"Who are you?" the man asked, his voice cold and menacing. "And how did you get here?"
Midoriya hesitated, unsure of what to say. He didn't want to reveal his true identity, but he also knew that he couldn't lie to this man.
"I'm just a kid who got lost," he said, trying to sound as innocent as possible. "I was just looking for a way out of this part of town."
The man's eyes narrowed, and he looked skeptical. "You expect me to believe that?" he growled. "You must be working for someone. Who are you spying for?"
Midoriya shook his head, his heart racing. "I'm not spying for anyone," he insisted. "I just want to go home."
The man seemed to consider this for a moment, and then he shrugged. "Fine. You can go. But if I catch you snooping around here again, you won't be so lucky."
Midoriya didn't wait for a second invitation. He turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. As he escaped from the League of Villains' base, he knew that he had been lucky this time. But he also knew that he couldn't let his guard down. There was still work to be done, and he had to be ready for anything.

Midoriya ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just escaped from the League of Villains' base, and he knew that he had to get as far away as possible before they caught up with him.
He turned down alleyways and side streets, trying to shake off any pursuit. He knew that he couldn't afford to be caught again, not after what had happened last time.
As he ran, he couldn't help but think about the encounter he had just had. He had seen all of those villains on the news before, and he knew exactly who they were: Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains, and his cronies, the likes of Kurogiri, Dabi, and Himiko Toga.
Midoriya knew that he had to do something about it. He couldn't just let them run wild, causing destruction and chaos wherever they went. He had to stop them, no matter what the cost.
But how? He was just one person, and he didn't have any official training or support. He was just a vigilante, operating on his own and relying on his Quirk and his wits to get by.
As he ran, he heard a voice behind him.
"Hey, kid! Wait up!"
Midoriya turned, ready to fight, but saw that it was just Shota Aizawa, better known as Eraserhead. Aizawa was panting and out of breath, but he seemed determined.
"Why are you running?" Aizawa asked, his voice cold and menacing.
Midoriya hesitated, unsure of what to say. He didn't want to reveal his true identity, but he also knew that he couldn't lie to Aizawa.
"I was just on a morning jog," he said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "This late at night?"
Midoriya shrugged. "I couldn't sleep. I figured a run would clear my head."
Aizawa seemed to consider this for a moment, and then he nodded. "Fine. Just be careful. It's dangerous out here."
Midoriya nodded, relieved. He had managed to evade Aizawa's suspicion, at least for now.
"Thanks," he said. "And good luck with everything. I'm sure you'll catch those villains soon."
Aizawa nodded. "I hope so. Stay safe."
With that, Midoriya turned and ran, leaving Aizawa behind.
