The Next Problem (BSD x MHA)

Tensions Rising

Frankly, Elise had no idea how many days had passed. All she could think about was the right timing, the right place... That's what Mori taught her after all. She tried not to think about the sounds adjacent to her. But that was impossible.

Hearing Toga cackle and Aya scream became unbearable. No matter how much Elise was drunken on the plan she had in mind, torture droned her out of it. Of course, Elise can't actually feel pain, so everything was mental. Elise internally cursed herself. She resulted to Plan Z.

Elise was screaming in faux pain as Toga giggled while putting the iron to her arm. She counted the seconds in her head as Toga took it off and Elise panted. She cracked one eye open to look at Aya who was out cold, her head leaning on the wall behind her. Did the heroes seriously have no clue this was going on? So much for saving.

"Okay, okay, how about I present a plan?" Elise rapidly said as Toga swung the iron around again. Toga regarded her. "I'm not going to give you anything about Eri since I really don't know anything," Toga's eyes immediately darkened.

"BUT, but, I have another idea." Toga put her arms crossed behind her back, swaying side to side and patiently waiting.

"I want to be a villain."

"It's crazy, that's what it is! They're 10 years old! 10!" Dabi whisper-screamed behind the closed door, using hand gestures to show his anger. Toga looked contemplative while Nikolai just inspected a spec of dirt on his coat. "Are you two seriously considering making children into villains?!"

"Well, they asked in the first place," Nikolai looked up at Dabi with impasse eyes, but they seemed to be hiding something else that he was thinking about.

"Yes, but still. Is the LOV going to stoop that low?!" Dabi ranted, then taking a deep breath and calming himself once more.

"It's not official, and it's up to Shigaraki to make the final decision, not us." Toga pointed out. Silence filled the trio.

"Toga, what was in the needle in that Elise girl that got you so interested?" Dabi questioned. Toga froze. Nikolai glanced at the two, curious.

Toga glanced at the closed door, then gestured for the other two to huddle up close. "There wasn't anything coming out." Dabi processed what she said before narrowing his eyes and incredulously saying,

"What do you mean nothing came out."

"There was just no blood or anything." Toga said, glancing back and forth between the two of them.

"Maybe she has really thick skin?"

"To the point where no blood comes out? That doesn't seem likely..." Nikolai put a hand to his chin. "Are you sure you put the needle in all the way?" He chided.

"Yes! Yes, I'm sure!" Toga said, before a "hmph" and crossing her arms in the opposite direction. "Now, now Himiko, I'm not doubting your abilities." Nikolai tittered. Toga side eyed him.

"There was another thing. They weren't particularly scared when they first found out they were kidnapped. Especially that Elise girl." Dabi muttered.

"It's really suspicious." Nikolai hummed.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, they reacted pretty fast when I bashed in the window. Elise even realized I was coming too, I could tell. Their reflexes must be really good." Toga commented.

"But why? They're 10! They shouldn't have such good reflexes." Dabi grumbled in thought.

"All the more reason to let them become villains." Nikolai accepted, deciding his place on the matter. "I think they're fit from the way you're describing them. I don't see why not?"
