The large group of anime characters had been discussing what they saw so far, and started making theories on what Other Universes there could be. Nezu, the Principle, had just kept silent, thinking on the Multiverse Theory

"Alright! Get in your seats- i got another Universe for you all to react to!" Lexi announces, silencing any chatter. The small amount stood up sat back down in their assigned seats as the screen started to brighten the smallest bit.

The abandoned pub was quiet as Shigaraki fumed, dust coating his hands from his attempts to relax. Kurogiri stood behind the bar, waiting for the young master's tantrum to end so he could clean up his bar again, and poor Midoriya sat in a nearby booth, fearful of Shigaraki's rage.

"Midoriya?" Was what a large portion of the crowd had rhetorically questioned. Izuku leaned in a bit, intrigued.
"Why am i with the villains?" He questions in a mumble.

"You brat... We brought you in so that you could help us kill All Might,-
"Kill AllMight? Why would i want to do that?" Izuku asks, pupils dilated in fear. He turns to Lexi, who shrugs.
"Dont ask me, i dont really want to spoil."
-and yet here you are, having just saved the kind of hero we're trying to destroy? And screwing up my own plans? I can tolerate your 'no killing' policy, but now you've got me questioning your motives, Midoriya." He spat out the teen's name like it was a deadly disease, full of disgust. He stalked his way over to the greenette, towering over him.

"Atleast there was a no killing policy for Midoriya." A quiet voice says in relief.

"You were useful at the USJ, but that doesn't help us now. I'd rethink your motives, kid. Otherwise..." Four fingers found their way around Midoriya's neck faster than he could think or scream.
"Uh, Mall-scene anybody?" Mina questions jokingly, trying to distract herself.
"...We'll be down a team member." Shigaraki released his near death grip and stalked upstairs, Midoriya collapsing upon his departure, breathing heavy as he massaged his neck as Kurogiri casually cleaned his bar of the dust.

"Damnit, no Mommagiri." Toga pouts.

"... What if he's right?"

Kurogiri looked up from his work, regarding the traumatized kid sitting in the booth, staring at his hands.

"Wait- did i speak too soon?"

"What do you mean, mister Midoriya?"

"... What if I'm not cut out for this? I barely helped with planning USJ, and was practically dead weight during the actual attack. I ruined his plans in Hosu, and even saved one of his targets during it! How can I be a villain if I can't even be villainous?!"

"Yeah! How is this Villain Deku if he's not villainous?" Ochaco questions rhetorically in a loud tone.

Kurogiri was silent for a moment, before he sighed and put his rag down and shifted his protective gear.

"... I think you need a serious heart to heart with yourself, mister Midoriya."

And with that parting quote, he vanished, leaving Midoriya to his thoughts
"Oof, that was mean."
With the way his thoughts were spiraling, it didn't take long for his anxiety ridden brain to begin to succumb to exhaustion, and as his eyes began to close, he failed to notice a scarred hand helping his eyelids shut as the small tv stuttered in the background.

His mindscape was a familiar place for his dreams once he had begun his new life, but he had always been alone with his thoughts.

This time, however, he had company.
