' I have a deal to make with you, Izuku. '

"Okay, what is it?"

' I have a deal that can give us both what we want, without the bloodshed of the innocent. I want to escape from this prison using your body. '

"Are you insane?! You're trying to get me killed, aren't you?"

' No. I merely want to use my quirk in your body. Although you're in a weak state, I want to give it my last shot. I refuse to stay in here until I'm killed. '

"You mean, if I'm killed."

' Sure, we'll put it at that. But, my deal, I want to use my quirk in your body to transfer myself to a new host or guard to help us escape. If I make you sick and make contact with a guard, I'm sure I'm able to take over their body in a short amount of time. Once we're out, you'll be able to protect (y/n) from the outside and I will protect her by perishing everyone who tries to kill her. Your hands won't be in blood. '

"Protect her from people trying to kill her? How do you know there's bad people coming after (y/n)?"

' ... '

"Tell me or I'm not following this deal."

' I know. I have eyes on the outside of this prison. That's all you need to know as of right now but please, trust me. '

"Fine...but why is this important to you? I'm fine sitting here for my death sentence."

' It's important to me as much as it really is to you. Admit it, you're not fine with knowing that (y/n) is in any danger. You want to prove even in your last dying breaths that you are good and have a heart of a hero, just as she's always known you for, am I right? '

"Yes...you're right."

' You see? You're lying to yourself for the greater good. We both need to get out of here and protect her from the harm that those maggots and villains are planning to do. Are you with me? '

"How do I know you're not just going to kidnap (y/n) again?"

' I have no reason to. I'm, we, would be a wanted fugitive that many would be on the hunt for. I have no time to be playing games anymore. I've wasted my fun on those U.A parasites in my fight with them but now, I want (y/n) to love me, by allowing me to prove my strength, skill, and loyalty to her. Doesn't that sound wonderful? '

"Are you saying that you're...wanting to compete in winning over (y/n)?"

' Yes! That's right! '

"I knew you had that idea up your sleeve. Why do you want to do that? She'll never be with someone like you."

' I have a feeling that your worthless words aren't reaching her anymore and seeking more of my truth. In my comfort. She's losing faith in you and leaning onto me more. But I want to beat you fair and square. We'll see who (y/n) chooses and we can fight one another! '
