Midoriya asks questions, but unless he's in full fanboy mode (he hasn't done that in a long while), he politely keeps them one at a time. Midoriya doesn't know how much Iskierka's questions may prod and poke. Just to head her off so she won't press him, he supplies, "I have help. I can't say how."
He tries, and fails, to keep a small warm note from his voice. It shares the same pitch with which he refers to Paul or Kaworu, but those two are known to Iskierka. His help is from elsewhere. Those whose relationship to Midoriya is already known by the threat don't have to keep it subtle. It was something he couldn't help back home, being associated with UA High School when the Sports Festival aired on TV. Just by calling themselves Heroes, they made enemies without even knowing it.
Speaking of flocks: Because Kaworu cares about the Old Man so much, and because it was how Midoriya met Iskerka's person, Midoriya asks, "Is there anything you think Anon-san will need when he gets back?"
