Izuku was .. a hot mess, honestly. He'd been itching to pick a fight with these damn villains the more classmates showed up. And I mean .. he .. already had. He'd already fought Toga like .. twice. But it wasn't enough. She wasn't at the root of the problem, and, anyways, Izuku's solution to people getting hurt shouldn't be to ram the offender with his claws. As if that got him anywhere to begin with. Uh. Well, except that it did, and it kept him from getting killed, and kept some other people from getting killed. But that also shouldn't be his default setting, should it? I mean, he'd taught Iida the wonderful lesson of 'dont seek revenge', and then after just a few months became the biggest hypocrite in existence. Sorry, Iida, Izuku was a fucking mess now.
.. Still. It hadn't taken much to recognize Shigaraki. The hand was a give. There's a prickle of -- something, there. Unease. Shigaraki caused all of it. Toga may have killed some of them, but Shigaraki was at the heart of it. And izuku? Well, he had no fear left in that little heart of his, and he can see Kirishima approaching the other. Izuku didn't have self-preservation, either, and all he knew was how to keep the attention on him. The star of the show. If they're too busy focusing on him, they can't hurt anyone else, see? "Isn't a hand a little gruesome?" Did Shigaraki have that disintegration quirk anymore, he wonders? He doubts it. But it doesn't hurt to be on alert. And, as the dragon strides smoothly over, with all his glory of damaged scales and narrowed green eyes, he quickly makes to shove Kirishima behind him. Izuku could handle himself, see? Even if Shigaraki did have his quirk, Izuku could just .. he's not sure. Make it hell to kill him? He did have his electricity. "Anyways, I think you should, uh, go. We're usually pretty welcoming, but, see, judging by that hand, I know who you are, it won't end well for either of us. I mean, just once is enough," So maybe he's a little scared. It might be kind of obvious to people who've managed to pick up his cues well enough. A little shake to this voice and a certain anxious rhythm to his tail movements, but Izuku has otherwise pretty much mastered .. well, this. Stalling for a minute until they've had enough and then start a fight. He's .. not sure how he'd fare in a fight, here. Izuku has the advantage, at least physically. Dragon, scales, a lot bigger than a regular cat. Quirk-wise? Uh. He's not sure. Shigaraki's quirk was .. disintegration. .. If he counteracted that with electricity, they could probably both go down for the count together, right? But Shigaraki probably wouldn't have his quirk here, right? Questions, questions, and absolutely no time when Izuku's ears are pounding and he's anxious and his claws are itching and it's not fair that this is happening. Not again. But .. at least he isn't a student afraid to go all out, anymore. He's barely the same damn person, sometimes. It's a little shocking none of his classmates have called him out anymore. But, on Shigaraki? .. Well. He's sure Atbash would understand if he explained it to her, right? Explain what to her, though? Izuku .. well, he isn't sure, but he's prepared to face the repercussions of whatever his actions may be anyways.
