MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

M:SFH 5 First meetings

Izuku hummed, "Yeah, I guess my whole weak and innocent act does tend to throw people off. If it almost fooled you, then just imagine what the heroes will be thinking when they have their pride on the line."

Gran Torino(groaning): I wish I could say that he's wrong but...

Mic: Yeah even Shou would have a problem with him.

Giran smiled, "Now there's the ruthless Mastermind we know and love. You've been doing pretty well for yourself online from what I've heard, but you know that you're not going to be able to hide in the shadows forever, right?"

Izuku sighed and put down his cup, "Yeah, the copycats are already starting to get on my nerves." He reached into his bag and pulled out a folder, sliding it across the table, "That's why I need your help. You are the best at what you do, right?"

Uraraka: And you've already got a shopping list...

Monoma: He's got to test the broker somehow.

Giran raised his eyebrows as he took the folder and began looking through it. There was a design for a villain costume and a list of weapons that Izuku thought he'd need, including a lot of knives. The broker looked over the designs silently for a few minutes, then nodded.

Toga: Yay, he's using knives!

Compress: Well you two are going to get along swimmingly.

"This should be doable, but I should warn you that this'll cost you a pretty penny, the weapons especially."

"You know what my rates are Giran. I can afford it. Plus I'll even let you introduce me to a few of the contacts you've been hounding me about."

Tsukauchi: Oh great...

Ojiro: This is not good...

Mirko: Ya think?

Giran smiled, "You sure know how to tell a man what he wants to hear. I'll start calling around. But you'll be packing some serious heat." Giran pulled out the weapons list and placed it in front of Izuku, "Are you sure you know how to use all these?"

Izuku shook his head, "Not yet. That's actually the last thing I need your help with."

Giran cocked his eyebrow, still smiling, and gestured for him to continue.

"I want to meet Himiko Toga."

Toga(lighting up): He wants me to meet me personally!

Shigaraki: Wait what?!

Dabi: Does he have a death wish like Viridian or...?

That wiped the smile off the broker's face, "The serial killer?!" He asked in shock. Izuku nodded.

"You've followed me so I trust you know about my... quirk situation..." Giran nodded hesitantly, "Well, since I don't have a quirk to fall back on, I'm going to have to rely primarily on weapons. Knives are the best option for both close combat and ranged, once you factor in throwing knives, and there's no one better than Toga when it comes to knives. I want her to teach me how to fight."

Toga(excitedly): I'm going to teach him how to stab people!

Inko(faintly): Oh no.

Giran was solemn now, "I hate to ask it, but what if she kills you?"

Izuku just smiled, wondering if it made him just a little bit crazy that he was asking to be trained by a serial killer, "I think I can hold my own. Besides, you won't let her kill me, I'll be making you too much money."

Midoriya: Other is me is crazy...

Shinso: And you aren't?

Izuku started to get up to leave, but Giran grabbed his arm.

"Before you leave, I have a gift for you." He grabbed a laptop bag from the floor and put in on the table, "This is top of the line, virtually untraceable. Internet cafes are great and all, but I think you'll agree this is the easier option." Izuku booted up the computer and looked it over. It was nice and really would make his work much easier. He quickly checked to make sure there wasn't any tracking apps or spyware installed before closing it. Meanwhile, Giran had pulled out a simple smartphone, "This is also untraceable. I already have the number and put my contact info in as well. I'll text you an address when your gear is ready and you can pick it up. I'll also text you when I manage to get ahold of Toga. She's slippery, but shouldn't be too hard to find. I'll be honest, I really hope you know what you're doing."

Tsukauchi: *(&@$# it!

Jana: Language, and not you too, Tsukauchi!

Hound Dog: Considering the situation he should be allowed to swear.

Izuku just tucked the phone in his pocket and slung the laptop bag over his shoulder as he stood and grabbed his cup, "If I didn't, I wouldn't have chosen to call myself Mastermind."

Giran watched the boy leave. This kid is crazy, his smile turned greedy, look out heroes...

Mastermind is here to stay.

Toga: He gets to meet me he gets to meet me he gets to meet me!

LOV(jealous): We get it, Toga, so shut up already!
