The sludge villain, or as I decided to call him Mr Slime, still in control of Midoriya's body, went in the skid row part of the city, to the League of Villains.

He opened the door of the bar that they used as hideout and he found himself in front of his two old colleagues, Shigaraki Tomura and Kurogiri.

«Mr Slime! What a surprise to see you here, I heard you were captured by All Might.» Shigaraki said, then he looked at the body used by Mr Slime and he added. «I see you've found a very young hiding place.» «Yes, that's right, but I didn't take this boy just for hide.» Mr Slime freed Midoriya who fell unconscious on the ground. «What does he have of interesting? A useful quirk you'd like to give Sensei in exchange of something?» Mr Slime smiled and he shifted into his human form, shaking his head. «Better, Shigaraki. I saw something in this kid. I bet he could become an amazing villain if you play your cards well. As you know, I only work alone but this boy has a talent I couldn't bear to see wasted.» Shigaraki got up and headed for the unconscious boy, to be able to observe him better. «He seems too frail to become a villain, does he have a very powerful quirk?»

Mr Slime chuckled. «No, not at all. But he has something better, he has a really sharp mind.» he said, pointing at his temple. Shigaraki looked at him confused and Mr Slime laughed. «When I took possession of his body I was able to look into his mind. He has an extraordinary memory and an ability to analyze situations above the norm. I saw that every time he watched a fight, he analyzed every single detail and he wrote down everything he saw and learned about every hero, their techniques, their strengths, their weaknesses and so on. All information that anyone would pay gold for.»

Shigaraki seemed to think about that. «So this guy has a quirk that makes him super intelligent, uh? What is it, IQ?» Shigaraki asked, standing up. Mr Slime shook his head. «You're wrong, Shigaraki. Things get interesting right up to this point. This guy is quirkless.» Shigaraki's eyes widened and the TV lit up, revealing the head of the organization: All For One. «Go ahead, your words caught my interest.» He said. Mr Slime nodded and he knelt next to Midoriya.

«I've seen his memories. For all his life, people have always treated him badly, especially a boy named Katsuki Bakugo, his childhood "friend", who dreams of becoming a hero. But despite this, he did nothing more than bully Izuku Midoriya, this kid, to the point of making him fall into depression. His memories of today are very vivid but at the same time distorted, like he experienced something that shook him deeply. I don't think it's just because of my meeting with him... something must have happened that completely messed up his head. I think I also felt suicidal thoughts. I kept perceiving a sad feeling about his whole life but deep down, I felt anger, rancor, envy, all headed to this world that was so unfair with him. He's like Pandora's box, he just needs a leverage to get all of this out of himself.»

«Poor boy, what a cruel world!» said All For One with a smile. «If what you say is true, Mr. Slime, we will do everything to make him our perfect strategist and you will receive a reward for this gift.» «Thank you, sir.» Mr. Slime answered standing up and slightly bowing.

Katsuki Bakugo's point of view (the names of the people depend on the point of view):

After a while Bakugo regained his senses, he found himself surrounded by the heroes who had "saved" him. They all congratulated him for his fantastic quirk and how they couldn't wait to see him growing up and becoming a hero like them.

Two of them, who had put more effort into rescuing the civilians, however, commented about how irresponsible Deku was because he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything but he sacrificed his life anyway.
