When Natasha starts actually explaining, Izuku finds himself -- a touch startled. For one, because he hadn't expected it to be that easy. She just seemed so ... secretive, and it wasn't like they were best friends or anything. They'd only interacted a few times, though Izuku was, again, rather fond of Natasha despite the short time they'd known each other.
Human, though ... Izuku looks up at Natasha with wide green eyes as she explains. Like him. Heroes, villains -- it sounds nothing like Izuku's homeverse, and the Avengers just ... sounded like the name of a move. Was it? Oh god there was so much timeline stuff to consider.
"... Including you?" Izuku guesses, soft as anything. His chest feels tight -- like him. She was human, and she'd died, like him. Like Aizawa. And, well, Izuku wasn't going to let Natasha say all that without giving his own side of the story. "... I - if you can believe it, I was kind of the same. I was -- um, a student, at UA, for training heroes. I, um -- I got stabbed, by some people from the League of Villains, then just ... woke up as a cat, a few months ago." His voice is soft and shaky, as though frightened. He hasn't -- hasn't ever told anybody, much less a clanmate, but ... Well, he trusts Natasha. Their stories were similar, though not exactly the same. She was a full hero, after all! Izuku was just ... a student. ... Did UA exist, where she came from? Or were they alternate superhero type worlds?
