That grin is the stuff of nightmares, absolutely. Ochako purses her lips, trying to calm the cold shiver that makes its way from the back of her neck and settles in the pit of her stomach. It almost makes her sick, honestly, because of how poorly this could go. She can't let it. Can't let anything happen to herself, but especially to anyone else. She wants to be there when Bakugou wakes up, and...and for Izuku, too, who's already been through his own gauntlet well before they even showed up. No, she can't let Shigaraki frazzle her.
This grocer is far kinder than the last, for sure, and the trade definitely seems fair - good food can be made from quality ingredients, and sharing recipes with a nice granny would have been something Ochako would do for free in any other iteration. She bows to the woman with a pleasant smile after handing her the recipe she wrote down, and she's waved off with an equally warm smile and nod of the older woman's head.
...Fuck, Ochako is running out of places to drag Shigaraki's crusty ass. "I usually wouldn't make a deal with the devil, but I can't say I'm not curious now that you've said it." Her eyes narrow at him, because this is...dangerous. Extremely dangerous. He could ask - hah...demand - anything. Villains don't barter. They take what they want. She's seen it firsthand with Dabi and the convenience store. "Why the deal? Why not just take what you want? What in the world could a Hero have to offer that you'd actually want?"
She may have an idea...and he sure as fuck isn't getting it if Ochako is right. She would sooner die than give up her friend - any one of them.
