Don't Let the Spark Die [BNHA Gen 2]

Chapter 27: Fool Proof

Toga Junior POV

Me and Miria were sitting in her room, which was down the hall across from mine. I was laying upside down on her bed as she paced in front of me.

"Do you think Dabi was being serious about making a 'fool proof plan'?" I ask, sitting up and doing quotation marks with my hands. Miria stopped pacing and looked at me.

"Father? Of course he was serious. If it was Dad I'd call it a joke but Father never jokes about stuff like that."

"I'm assuming Dabi is Father and Hawks is Dad?" It always confused me but the more you know I guess. She nods silently as I groan and stand up. "We better get thinking then." I leave the room.

"Wait Shin, where you going?" My friend calls out after me as I walk down the hall to my room. I don't answer her but only because she'll find out what I'm doing when I go back to her room in literally 5 seconds. As I walk back to Miria's room with pens and paper, she seems to understand. She's not stupid but for a 13 year old kid, she can be pretty dense.

"Oh." She said simply. "That might help make a plan at least?" My god, maybe she IS stupid.
"I'm not stupid Shin. No you didn't say it out loud, I can see it on your face. I just get a little confused sometimes is all." My older friend says, grabbing a pen and a piece of paper. "And for an 11 year old kid, you're not exactly the smartest person either." I roll my eyes and sit across from her on her bed with my legs tucked underneath me.

"So first order of business: getting into UA High School." I say, looking at her already drawing flowers and hearts in the corner of the page she's holding.
"Easy answer: Kurogiri and his portals." I mean she ain't wrong.

"Okay I'll write it down." I begin to scribble that idea with my messy handwriting. Miria stops drawing and I hear the pen lid click.
"Second order of business: the UA security system. The system over there is some advanced shit if I've ever seen it." She says to me. She's right about that at least. The security at UA is so strong.

"If we work silently and quickly in the night, you could use your sharp ass blade feathers and take out the cameras." I see the winged girl nod and smile.

"Good idea Shin. Write it down." I begin to scribble with my horrendous writing once again when the door slams open. It was Dabi. My head shot up at the sudden noise.

"Father?"
"Dabi?" He looked out of breathe.

"Oh. G-Girls, don't worry." Once he had caught his breathe and regained his normal expression he went to leave. "TOMURA, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!" I heard my mother and Hawks yell similar things.

"Wonder what he did." Miria says, still looking at the open door that Dabi didn't close.

"Something awful by the sounds of things."
"Shinji."

"Hm?"

"This is literally the League of Villains. Shiggy does awful things all the time."
"Oh yeah. I think I forgot about that." I say, an expression of wonder on my face.

"Did you forget that?"
"No. It's sarcasm Miria."
"Oh yeah gotcha." She looked embarrassed so I changed the subject.

"Back to the plan?" I questioned, hoping we would actually work out something so that we wouldn't be grounded for 3 months. She smiled at me and picked up her pen and paper again.

"Yeah. Let's work on the plan."

Miria POV
We worked on the 'fool proof plan' for hours before it was finally ready enough to show the adults. I just hoped Father, Dad and Aunty Himiko were being serious. I made Shinji ask them before we actually SAID that we made a plan. We walked into the hallway hand in hand before I let Shinji go so she could ask about it.

"Yo, Uncle Touya and Uncle Keigo, what's up?"

"U-Uh nothing. Why?" Dad said. He clearly seemed confused by being referred to as 'Uncle Keigo'. Shinji isn't exactly one to use family labels and first names on a daily basis. Her emotions ain't built like that.

"I actually have a question for you, Uncle Touya." She said innocently.

"What a disgusting name. What do you need mini Toga?" He said, quite emotionless but obviously aggravated at the use of his birth name. My father was actually apart of the Todoroki family and joined the League to get revenge on his abusive father, Endeavour. Thankfully, the hero was getting old.

"Well," She smiled at him. "Miria and myself were wondering if you were being serious about us writing a fool proof plan INSTEAD of being grounded for 3 months?" Just as Father went to speak, Aunty Himiko spoke up.
"Yes darl. We were being serious about you girls writing a plan." The other 2 parentals nod.

"Great!" Shinji exclaimed. She motioned for me to come over with our plan, which was neatly written out. We had even stapled the multiple pieces of paper together. "I was hoping you WERE being serious because, well.." I hand her our plan to give to them. "Well because we wrote one." I see Dad take the plan outline from Shinji's hands.

"Woah, you guys! This thing is like 6 pages long." He said, flicking through the pages.

"Well Father did say the words 'fool proof plan' now didn't he Dad?" He nods, humming in agreement.
"We'll review it tonight." I hear Shigaraki speak from behind me on the couch. We both turn around and see Shigaraki, Mr Compress, a Nomu and Kurogiri sitting down.

"Thank you guys." We both turn back to the 3 parents even though only I'm speaking. "And thank you Dad, Father and Aunty Himiko." They looked confused as we bowed in front of them.

"Umm...for what?" Aunty Himiko questioned us as we stood up straight again.
"For not grounding us for 3 months dear mother." Shinji shot her mum a look of excitement and playfulness and I swear I saw the 27 year old laughing as we both ran back down the hallway.
