As soon as Izuku entered the room, the boy’s head snapped up.
Izuku took a step back.
A face he saw every morning in the mirror stared back at him, eyes glittering with delight. The left one was red.
“Oh, hello.”This was a bad idea.
Or: Izuku finds out UA is holding a villain under lock and key. Specifically, they’re holding him, a version of him from an alternate universe in which he never became a hero, but something far darker. Curiosity gets the better of him. He ends up regretting it.

Summary
From where he sat on the roof, Xiao could feel the thrumming energy of lively guests beneath him, enjoying their meals and their company in the late evening. Soon, weary from their travels and with full stomachs, the guests would head to their rooms and go to bed, marking the time when Xiao would have to leave. The silvery threads of the guests’ dreams filtered through the tiles of the roof, cool and silken to the touch, and Xiao hated the way they made his mouth water nauseatingly. He hated how even after thousands of years, his behavior was still conditioned to the whims of his old master.

Summary
Midoriya is drugged by a villain during a raid, but old and new fears, along with the manufactured anxiety the drug produces, urges him to keep his condition hidden.
He's determined to keep this a secret in the long days ahead - even after the hallucinations start. Even after his worst nightmares are played out around campus, so vividly that he begins to lose track of what is and isn’t real.
