Chapter Text
"Uggghhhh…" Mi- Shi - do - ga - ri - ra - ya - ki groaned in frustration, had he been hit that hard? He had the worst headache he had been through in a while… the last thing he remembers is fighting against his archenemy and then the scream of a child had somehow made a wave hit him so hard that he had been blown away and hit a wall, probably the child's quirk then. It was embarrassing that after the intense fight they were having, this was what had stopped them. "What happened?" and he froze because that was most definitely not his voice… what was going on?!
Ok, Shigaraki had done a lot of terrible stuff in the past and he really had no way to redeem himself but, excuse him, WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?! This was just downright sadistic and if anyone knew of sadism, it was him! Why was he in a bedroom in which every freaking square centimeter was covered in All Might?! He touched the closest poster with all five fingers but it didn't disintegrate, the smile of All Might just stayed there, mocking him. Something was wrong… very wrong. He stood up and walked to the door, a bit surprised that it opened just like that and after a while wandering met the hero brats in what appeared to be a living room; his first thought was to just run away but…
"Hi, Deku-kun! You are finally up!"
«Why is this brat calling me that?»
"Deku? You seem tense… How can we help you?
"Midoriya-kun! I think you are hyperventilating, you should try to calm down and breathe!" said the other hero brat while chopping his arms in the air.
"Where's the restroom?!" and he was reminded how this wasn't his voice, now that he paid attention he was surprisingly small because he wasn't able to look down on these brats, his arms were scarred and muscular… No, no, this couldn't be happening.
"There's one that way the first door on the right…" Shigaraki sprinted in the direction that was signaled to him without another word "He must be on a rush, huh? He should have just used the bathroom in his room tho… Oh, Aizawa sensei! Good morning!"
"Uraraka-san…" Eraserhead said while nodding to acknowledge her "Has pro- Midoriya woken up yet?"
"Oh, he had to use the restroom…"
Suddenly from the restroom came a scream that was probably heard all around the dorms, what was weird was that it wasn't Bakugou who shouted.
"FUCK NO!!!"
Aizawa rushed to the restroom slamming the door open and glaring with his quirk activated, after yesterday's events he had been worried for the problem child. Even if he won't ever admit it, he had been worried sick when problem child hadn't woken up at all yesterday and had been relieved to hear that he was already up from Uraraka just now, so hearing that scream had set alarms bells going off in his head… he expected the worst but not this . Problem child had been staring at the mirror with dread but there was nothing wrong? Everything was the same as always…
"Eraserhead?" well, that was unexpected… Eraserhead was more used to Aizawa sensei outside of hero work but maybe it was the image he was giving right now.
"Yeah, problem child?"
"What happened yesterday?" Shigaraki asked, the reflexion of a brat with freckles glaring back at him with big, bright green eyes.
Midoriya woke up in an unknown room, the bed was comfy but the walls were bare, it was dark but... was that a computer? Ok, now that he paid more attention the room was kinda messy and there were videogames? all around the room… Definitely not his room but not held captive either. He opened the window for light to come in…
"What time is it?" his voice was hoarse, why? Can knocking your head do that? He woke up covered in blankets so it wasn't because of a cold night… Was he in a teacher's home? This wasn't a hospital, nor inside U.A. property, that much was for sure. He stood up, "wow this room is smaller than it first seemed" Izuku thought. He walked up to the door and opened it. In front of him was a hall he had never seen, it was long and had no windows but there were other doors which he assumed must lead to more rooms.
Izuku knew he probably shouldn't be wandering around the house of whoever was taking care of him, but oh well he'd just apologize later; right now he needed a glass of water, his throat was dry as a desert.
He went down the corridor and found some stairs. When he got down, he heard some people arguing, panicking, was there crying? He went into the room worried about what could cause his carers so much distress but he came across the League Of Villains?!
"You woke up!" a very distressed Mr. Compress exclaimed, finally calming down.
"Geez boss, don't scare us like that! We weren't worried at all!" Twice exclaimed this time.
"How are you? Do you need anything?" Kurogiri was practically on top of him and was he the one crying?! Well it certainly didn't look like it, but it sounded like it. Why were they so worried? Why was he here? His answers came when he turned in Kurogiri's direction and saw, in the bottom of the furniture used to keep the alcohol and some glasses, a mirror and the reflection that stared back at him had red eyes and chapped lips. Midoriya couldn't suppress his emotions.
"The heck?!"
"What's wrong, handyman?" Dabi followed his gaze to the mirror "Did you finally realize you are ugly af?"
"No, just… all of you shut up! Gimme a minute."
"Yep, he's back to the usual." intervened Spinner.
"Ok, I think I'm gonna need a glass of water." Kurogiri gave it to him almost as fast as he ended the sentence. "Thanks, now… what happened yesterday?"
"You were fighting alone like an idiot instead of waiting for us, when the rest of us arrived at the scene you were unconscious but so was your opponent, the vi-he-lla-ro-ins-es arrived and we prioritized your rescue over the fight so we carried you here but you didn't woke up at all yesterday."
"Oh… didn't any of you saw a small, crying child, I think he was still a toddler?"
"Pretty sure that we would have noticed if there was a crying child, why?"
"Nothing, nevermind…"
«The heck is going on?! How do I take back my body?! Wait… I can win the war if I use the influence of the owner of this body! Oh no… is my enemy already ruining my life?!» This and many other similar thoughts were going through Mi- Shi - do - ga - ri - ra - ya - ki 's head.
"I think I need a moment…" both of them said going out of their enemy's home and sprinting towards their own. Needless to say, they came across each other halfway through.
"Shigaraki!"
"You brat! Midoriya!"
"What did you do?! Give my body back! Wait... so this wasn't your doing?! Then… the kid that day… but your friends said there was no kid there… Can you stop doing that?! It's unnerving how synchronized we are!" There was a moment of silence before both of them broke it at the same time "So…" their eyes twitched at speaking in unison again "what are we doing now?"
"The best option is telling the heroes, with their help and the police we can find a solution faster!"
"In your dreams! Like I'm letting them anywhere near me! By that logic, Sensei probably has a quirk to undo this!"
"Are you stupid?! I'm not letting your Sensei touch me! He would kill me once we are back to normal."
"Heroes are arresting me the moment they get the chance!"
"Wait… they didn't notice with you either?! Well, now I feel a bit betrayed… I'd think they'd notice if it wasn't really me… Should we tell them?"
They took a moment to consider the pros and cons of telling their friends.
"I'm not sure what is wiser but I don't want to live surrounded by villains!" cried Izuku.
"Well, I can't sleep surrounded by the face I hate the most."
"Besides I have secrets I'd rather keep to myself! We have to tell them! Glad to see we can agree on this, at least. Let's go then!" Did you guess? Yes, both started towards opposite directions.
"You want me to go to the bar?! No way, they will kill me!"
"Don't be so dramatic, you have my body. Nobody's touching you. Me, on the other hand, they'll put me behind bars the moment they get the chance."
"Uggghhhh, now what to do…?"
At the end they decided it was best to call their friends to that exact place and call it neutral ground.
Eraserhead pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers, in front of him stood a nervous and fidgeting Shigaraki next to a scowling and clearly annoyed Midoriya. It was surreal. Said scowling Midoriya was annoyed at him but could you blame him?!
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry but you are telling me that you" he pointed at Shigaraki "are Midoriya in the body of Shigaraki, and you" he pointed at Midoriya this time "are Shigaraki in Midoriya's body and you just woke up like that this morning…" it wasn't a question but it wasn't an affirmation either, it was just Aizawa saying it out loud to try and make more sense out of it.
"Yes! We've said it five times now! How many more times are we doing this!" a very annoyed Midoriya said while glaring daggers at him.
"I'm sorry… just… how do you expect me to take this?"
"It's another quirk in the world Eraserhead, it shouldn't be that shocking."
"To be fair, we were pretty shocked when we realized…"
"But we've been repeating this shit for the last half an hour and we aren't getting anywhere!"
Meanwhile both heroes and villains stared ahead in confusion, awe, amusement or worry.
"So, what now? Where are you staying? Each of you…" inquired Nedzu, amused at the chaos potential in front of him.
"Are we letting them decide that?" Asked Midnight confused.
"Oh, probably no but I want to know if they have come up with something yet!"
"This is why we hate you…" Shigaraki spat in a muttering but it was clear and loud enough for the principal to listen "No, we haven't resolved that yet. However, we aren't going through each others' life, it is not only inconvenient and unnecessary now that we have told you but I want my room and videogames back."
"I don't think you are in a position to be making those decisions though I agree that you don't have to go through the others' life now…" Eraserhead said, now having collected his thoughts. "So what do you have in mind, Nedzu?"
"What do you mean I can't decide that!? I'll do whatever I want!"
"I thought we could make space for them at U.A. that way they'd be near if we need them to put them back in order."
"Why at U.A. though? And why all of them?" asked Cementos.
"As if I'm staying at that place!"
"Well, because it's the most comfortable place for all of us to stay. As for the second question, I'm sure Shigaraki won't accept to stay with us alone…. And also..."
"Damn right!"
"Uggghhhh Shigaraki, shut the hell up for five minutes! Just cooperate with us, it's not like we want to have you at U.A!"
"Then let me be! I don't want to be with you and you don't want to be with me, it's a win-win!"
"Why?! Shigaraki! This is more important than what we want right now! We have the wrong body!"
"So what?"
Midoriya almost facepalms himself but just before his hand came in contact with his face a scarred hand took his arms and yanked it foward.
"Ouch! What was that for?! Let go!"
"Are you stupid?" a surprisingly calm Dabi asked "You almost disintegrated Handyman while you are using his body, idiot" he explained before letting go.
"And also, my point proven, we will probably need their help making sure they don't accidentally maim themselves... or worse."
"Well… that's a good point…" agreed Eraserhead.
"Perfect!" Nedzu chirped "Then it's settled!"
"Hold on..." interrupted Dabi "that is if we want to go to U.A. too…"
"Well, that's true but are you going to leave your leader alone in our hands?"
"Meh, I'm more worried for you than I am for him." was Dabi's reply with a shrug.
"Is that a compliment or an insult?"
"So… who's coming?" asked Cementos.
"Ooohh me!" exclaimed Toga "I can be close to my Izuku-kun!"
"Idiot, you'd be able to be close to him either way!"
"Huh?"
"Handyman is in his body!"
"Oh right!" she chuckled, blushing while eyeing Izuku's body which made Izuku cover his body using Shigaraki's "but Ochaco chan and Tsu chan are also at U.A!"
"If Toga is going, I'm going too! Welp, goodbye Toga!"
"Are we really letting the two dorks of our group stay at U.A? I don't think that's safe… for either of them…" commented Mr. Compress giving the slighted hint of uneasiness.
"I'd worry for U.A. more, they are going to be more work than help" Spinner said.
"When I said either of them I meant U.A. as well…"
"Of course we are not leaving them! If Shigaraki is gonna be there, we are going as well!" Kurogiri, the ever overprotective babysitter, commanded.
"Welp… sucks to be you guys, see ya" both Spinner and Mr. Compress took one of the shoulders each, stopping Dabi from leaving.
"Nope dude…" Spinner tightened his grip.
"If we are falling, you are coming with us" finished Mr. Compress nodding his agreement with Spinner.
That's why that evening the league was accommodating themselves at the dorms of U.A. This couldn't go too bad, right?
... Right?
