Untouchable Hope

Chapter 8: Follow Me

NOTES: Hi. What is up? Another chapter for you. Enjoy!

Izuku POV:

Izuku's pen scratched along the paper as he mapped out his notes, the computer screen in front of him glowing softly. He ran his fingers through his hair as he leaned back in his chair. I wish I how many heroes were coming along, he thought, biting the end of his pencil, let's guess three or four.

"Haji? I'm going out!" Bell poked her head in his room, a lollipop wagging between her teeth as she talked, "You've gotta eat something soon or you'll shrivel up, Haji!" She scolded looking at the now inedible plate of food on his desk. 

"That's not how is works, Bell," He replied, not looking up from his plans.

"Just eat something before I come back, okay?!" She whined.

"Fine," He looked up, "I promise."

Her face split into a grin, "Okay!" Izuku listened as she skipped away, shutting the apartment door behind her. 

Izuku checked his watch, he's been at this for six hours huh? Better than the last time he made a plan this big. He sighed, standing up and carrying his soiled food back to the kitchen before dumping it the trash. He unclipped the unruly part of his hair that usually fell into his eyes before grabbing a packet of pizza pockets and tossing them into the microwave. Izuku sat on the counter, watching his food spin around slowly as his mind whirled. 

If we try to go in through the back door, there will probably be guards, so the best way is entering through the roofs and going through the air vents. That way Bell can get to Xia Ito, who controls the security system without her picking up on us first. But some of the heroes might not fit, or their quirks will make it harder. If that's the case, we should have two separate teams; one going through the vents, and the others should be positioned on each of the buildings' sides to enter through the windows once Xia is taken care of. We can catch the members off guard and while the heroes are dealing with them, Present Mic can blow up the drug lab with his quirk to shatter the viles, Bell can steal the hardrives, and I can kill him all at once. Hopefully I can get away to deal with my target without any heroes getting in my way. No doubt they will have a plan ready to capture me and Bell, but it goes without saying that taking out the Red Skulls is a top priority. They will finish my plan with me before they try anything else. Until then, they are my puppets.  

A beeping sound cut off his train of though as he pulled his food out. He poked at it, disappointed.  

"Their still all cold on the inside..."

Shota Aizawa POV:

Shota looked around at the heroes currently gathered in Naomasa's office, wondering how tonight would play out. 

"So, where are we meeting up exactly?" Midnight asked, her arms crossed, "Do we even know the plan, or are we going in blind?"

"We meeting at this location," Shot showed a little dot on the map in his phone, "I'm sure he will tell us the pan when we get there." 

"In the meantime," Naomasa said, "Do you all understand the after plan?"

"Yep," Hisashi said, popping the 'p', "Go along with his plan, hopefully without any casualties, then try to catch him and the White Shadow." 

"Yeah, yeah," The R-rated hero sighed, "I still don't understand why he had to come though." She jerked her thumb towards the chicken nugget that was the other pro hero. 

"Don't be like that, Midnight-san!" Hawks grinned, "I just wanna meet the guy, that's all. Beside's you need all the help you can get, right?"

"The hell's that supposed to mean?"

"Enough," Shota snapped, "Let's go or we'll be late. Remember, capturing the Phantom is less of a priority right now, so focus on the Red Skulls first."

"Yes, sir." Hawks said in a mock salute before quickly shutting his mouth at Shota's icy glare.

"Then let's go."

Bell POV:

Bell kicked her feet back and forth off the side of the building as she and Haji waited for the little heroes to arrive. God, they were slow. She wanted to go already. The dim lights and moving people in the base were just taunting her.

"They're here," She looked behind her as four heroes arrived on the roof top. 

"Phantom," Eraserhead stated, walking forward a few steps, "Allow me to introduce you to, Present-"

"I know who they are, thank you," Haji said, his voice clipped and controlled as always, but Bell could here the faint tension behind his words. "There is no need for formalities, we need to move on with the plan."

"I- yes, alright," Bell smiled, oh, the little hero got interrupted. Not fun being ordered around, is it?

"Papers," Haji held out his hand as Bell pulled the blueprints from the pocket in her skirt. Bell stood, bouncing a little on the balls of her feet as Haji flipped open his map.

"Here's the plan: Midnight and Bell will enter through the air vents by the roof. Once they have made it to the east wing, Midnight will use her sleeping gas on the guards outside the security room where Xia Ito is. Once the guards are fully knocked out, Bell will enter, incapacitating Xia before she as time to sound the alarm," Haji looked up at the three other heroes, "Hawks will be positioned on this roof while Eraserhead takes the back. I will be on the opposite side, while Present Mic is on the ground, by the alley side door. Bell's signal will be a pink smoke shot from a window, so keep your eyes out. When that happens, the four of us will enter through windows, or any weak spot, taking out the members with the element of surprise. Hawks, Eraserhead and I will deal with the stronger members along while Present Mic, you will blow up the lab with your quirk," Bell watched in glee as the heroes mouths opened up like fishes, with only Eraserhead remaining his usual expressionless face, "Midnight, you stay guard by the door until Bell finishes collecting the hard dives with the information. I'll take out the leader as well."  Haji cleared his throat, "Any questions?"

Midnight raised her hand, "It seems like all the really important jobs are up to you two," She pointed to them, "Why is-"

"We are the ones most suitable for those tasks, Miss Midnight," His voice changer rising ever so slightly, "Unless you would enlighten us with your hacking skills or brilliant plan, then don't question our skills."

"I wasn't saying-"

Bell narrowed her eyes, "Be quiet." She waved her hand toward the R-rated hero, "Just go with the plan."

"Get in positions, everyone," With that, Haji jumped off the roof, not making a sound as he made his way over the building.

Bell shrugged, "You heard the boss, everyone," She turned away from the heroes, "Tik-tok, little miss Midnight." 

Hawks POV:

Hawks was surprised, to say the least, the Phantom was different than he expected. The kid had looked at his bright suit with eyes of judgment when they first met, which is no doubt the reason why he was positioned on the darkest building of all of them, surrounded by various objects. Did he really spend that much thought on the little details in his plan? The plan was something Nezu would come up with, that freaked him out a little.

"Hawks, Present Mic and Eraser," The Phantom's voice spoke through his ear piece, "Move in 5..4..3..2..1." White Shadow's signal timed with his words. Well, let the night begin.
