Chapter 6

That Dabi also left some time ago, and it was now just Toga, Kurogiri, and me. "Why are you a prisoner?" Toga then asked me. "Can't my outfit tell?" I asked as I looked at myself. I was still wearing my U.A. training outfit. "You're from Ua?!" She asked, freaked out. "Yeah, and as you can see, I got kidnapped!" I told her and pointed at my handcuffs again. "So you're not here to be a friend?" She asked with a pout. "Now, now, we can still be friends." I said with a grin. "Really?!" She asked with a big smile. "Sure! We can be friends for now, and if we're ever enemies again, we can just fight against each other as friends!" I said with a grin, and she laughed like crazy. "I like you! You're my new best friend!" She said and jumped up and down. "What's your name?!" She then asked, excited. "My name is Sora Todoroki." I told her.

As Toga bounced around the room with infectious energy, I couldn't help but smile. Her enthusiasm was a stark contrast to the dreary atmosphere I'd been stuck in for days. "So, what do you like to do, So-chan?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Well, I love training," I said, thinking about the hours spent honing my fire quirk at U.A. "I want to be a great hero.

Toga's expression shifted slightly, a hint of seriousness creeping in. "But you're stuck here now. What's so great about being a hero anyway?"

I shrugged. "It's not perfect, but heroes save people. They make the world a better place."

"Hmm, saving people, huh?" she mused, her smile returning. "That's boring! I want to make the world exciting! I want everyone to be free to be who they really are. That's why I want to join the League!"

"That actually sounds quite good. In the end we have the same goal just different ways of doing it, right?" I asked

Toga's eyes lit up at my words, and she nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! You get it! I mean, what's the point of living in a world where everyone has to hide who they are? It's so dull!" She twirled again, a whirlwind of energy. "I want to shake things up! Make people feel alive!"

I considered her enthusiasm. "I guess I understand that. But there's a balance, you know? Making the world exciting shouldn't mean hurting people."

"Pfft! You're such a goody-goody, So-chan!" Toga laughed, playfully poking my arm. "But that's what makes you interesting! You care about people, and I care about freedom. Maybe together, we can change things!"

"Maybe," I replied, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension. "But we have to be careful. Just because we want to make a change doesn't mean we can lose sight of what's right." I reminded her.

"But first, tell me more about yourself, So-chan! What's your quirk like?"

"Oh, my quirk is called Ignition," I explained, recalling the hours of training and the struggle to master my abilities. "I can create and control fire. It's pretty powerful, but I have to be careful not to hurt anyone—especially myself."

"Fire, huh? That sounds so cool!" Toga clapped her hands, her excitement palpable. "I bet you can do amazing things! I'd love to see you in action someday!"

"Maybe," I replied, trying to keep my hopes grounded. "But I'm not sure when that'll be. Right now, I'm kind of stuck here." I gestured to my cuffs, the weight of my situation sinking back in.

Toga tilted her head, her expression softening. "I'm sorry you're stuck here. But hey, maybe we can make the best of it! I mean, we're both stuck in this villainous place, so why not have some fun?"

Just then, Kurigiri started finally talking. "It seems the atmosphere is becoming a bit too chaotic in here," he said, his voice smooth. "Let's try to keep things focused. We have work to do."

"Aw, come on, Kurigiri! Let us have a little fun!" Toga whined, crossing her arms. "So-chan is my new best friend! We were just getting to know each other!"

Kurigiri sighed, but I could see something nice on his face. "I appreciate the enthusiasm, Toga. However, we need to prepare for what's ahead. The League is growing, and with that growth come challenges."

"Challenges?" Toga asked, curiosity piqued. "Like what?"

"The heroes won't sit idle while we expand," Kurigiri explained. "They will likely come after Sora. Her presence here makes us a target. They're even more desperate to get us," he explained, and Toga pounted. Well, at least now with Toga, it won't be as boring now.
