The Multiverse ~ BNHA

Universe #8

(Villain!Deku crack, because yes.)

"So in this universe Midoriya... isn't a hero." Blaise worded carefully. "He isn't exactly a villain either, though." 

"What?" Midoriya mumbled. 

"Don't worry- you still work with them." She smiled. 

"For the last time- No, you can't kill All Might. It's not good for you." Midoriya explained.

"How do you know what's good for me?!" Shigaraki screeched.

"That'S MY OPINION-"

"That's a vine!" Kaminari and Ashido cheered.

-

"So, Shoto, if you had to choose between Endeavour," Shigaraki began, and the screen showed Todoroki sitting at the Villain's bar, a rope around his wrists and a cloth gag sitting loosely around his neck. "And all the stuff in my pocket, which would you take?"

"That depends. How much stuff are we talking about?"

Behind them, Endeavour, who was properly tied up, 's head shot up and Midoriya, who was adding more layers to the binds, wheezed.

Shigaraki reached into his pocket and pulled out its contents. ".074 yen, a chewed up pen cap, a mouldy mint, a washed tissue and some lint." He listed, looking at his palm.

Todoroki thought for a second. "I'll take the stuff." He held out his hands, so Shigaraki dropped the stuff into them. Midoriya laughed loudly in the background.

-

"I'm not a villain, I'm an anti-hero. There's a difference." Midoriya was saying on an interview. "I'm more of a spy than anything, I give Intel I think important to the heroes- that's why I haven't been arrested yet."

".. That's not how that work-" Aizawa began but Blaise 'shh-ed' him.

"Different universe." 

"And after this interview, would your position in the League of Villains be compromised?" The interviewer asked, behind her was Pro Heroes Hawks and Aizawa, off-stage. 

"Nope. They know I give information to the heroes - just like the heroes know I give them information on toxic heroes to take out. I walk a very, very thin line of both sides need me and neither can take me out without causing all-out war with the other." Midoriya shrugged, careless. "And before you ask, yes, I stay out of the super-illegal stuff they League does - Murder, kidnapping, robbery. If I didn't I would be arrested on the spot. And, yes, the heroes are itching for a chance to arrest me but since my only crime so far is being affiliated with the League, the information I have on them is much more useful if I'm out of prison." 

"That makes sense." Midoriya nodded. "Though it is illegal?" 

"Yeah but think, in that universe not only are you slowly taking down the league from the inside, you're also stopping stuff like the Camp incident." Blaise explained. Bakugo looked away again. Blaise frowned at him, trying to figure out how to not piss him off too bad without rewriting his entire character.

"And what is your quirk? We've seen you show fire-breathing power against the villains but also a ground-remaking quirk." 

"I have a quirk-borrowing quirk."

"Like All For One's?" Midoriya asked, horrified. 

"Actually you just have his quirk because you tricked him once upon a time to give you part of his quirk; like I said, taking them down from the inside." 

"If I can "steal" up to ten quirks, and if I were stronger it would be more. Once I hit my limit I can choose a quirk to return to it's owner - they can't use it until I do. I can also just destroy the quirk or I can give it to another person. That fire-breathing quirk was from my biological father while-" He paused, turned to face the audience watching the universe and squinted. 

"Is he looking at us?" Kaminari asked. "Freaky." 

He signed something at them. 

"He says, "Cover Eri's eyes and ears." Blaise translated. Eri was given headphones and an IPad, with her favourite show on it. Her attention went to the screen, but Blaise cast a small spell over her anyways to keep her attention there.

She gave on-screen Midoriya a thumbs up.

Midoriya nodded, satisfied. "The ground-moving quirk was from the villain Overhaul - you wouldn't know him-, I took it then turned him in. He misused it horribly and I destroyed it at the hero's request." 

"Overhaul? Why wouldn't she know him? That was a huge fight!" Kirshima exclaimed, glancing at Eri in worry. The girl was humming along to the theme song of the show.

"Well, the League actually tried to ally with him but they found out what he was doing to Eri so Midoriya went in before the Pros were super interested in him - So about when only Sir Nighteye's- may he rest in peace- place was investigating him -, took his quirk and gave him to the Pros and gave Eri to UA." Blaise explained. "So the public didn't really know who he was, no." 

"Huh." 

"So, can we, the people, trust you?" 

"Depends. Innocent people can, for sure. People who hurt people... if they just so happen to get exposed on television for all their crimes... that's their fault." He shrugged.

-

"Why did you tell the heroes our plan?!" Shigaraki screeched at Midoriya, who was at the bar table and only just awake, awoken by Shigaraki's yelling.

"Which one?" He yawned.

"The camp! You told them the plan!" Shigaraki accused. Toga hopped over to sit next to Midoriya. 

Midoriya rubbed his eyes. "Oh yeah.. it was a dumb plan. I got a future-seeing quirk the other day.. Mmm... would've ended in heaps of us getting arrested, including your boss." Kurogiri got behind the bar and gave him some orange drink. He thanked him and took a sip. 

"Future seeing quirk?" Kirishima asked carefully.

"Yep- don't question it." 

"So why didn't you tell us instead of the pros?!" 

Midoriya's glass was put down harsher than necessary. "I don't know, why didn't you tell me you plan before trying to execute it?" 

"Because you would've told the pros, like you did!" 

Midoriya sighed and stood up. "I don't know if you forgot, but I was kinda raised  with the kid you planned on kidnapping, and I still go to U.A every other day to get information for you , so I know for a fact he wouldn't have joined you no matter what tricks you pulled." He told him, bordering on pissed. 

Shigaraki glanced behind Midoriya. The greenette's eyes widened and he jumped just fast enough to avoid a knife flying through what would've been his head and was now air. Then he vanished into a puff of green smoke and blue lightning.

"That's... not good, right?" Jirou asked quietly.

"Eh." Blaise shrugged. "Nobody died yet."

-

Midoriya walked into the 1-A classroom, right up to the teachers desk and sat down on the floor. Aizawa barely glanced at him as he passed the boy a piece of paper and a pencil. Midoriya began writing on it.

"Uh... why is he here?" Uraraka asked carefully.

"Had a fight." Midoriya answered shortly. 

"Oh." 

"By the way, their next plan is to.."

"And that's the end of this universe, for now." Blaise hummed. "The next universe is gonna be a lot softer than this one, and in a different setting too!" She undid her spell on Eri, so the girl could now look up if she wanted to. 

"Which setting?" Iida asked.

"You'll figure that out in a minute." Blaise chuckled.
