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

M:SFH 26 Endeavor

Hawks: And it's all true...

The only sounds that could be heard were the roar of the flames and the approaching sirens. The media held their breath as they waited to see how Endeavor would respond to his accusations.

"Come home, Shoto. You will become a hero."

Shoto sighed and shook his head, "If being a hero means being like you, I'd rather be a villain." He looked up at his father, "At least I'm being honest about who I really am."

Mirko: Hmph kid's got a point as much as I hate to say it.

"Enough, Shoto." Endeavor growled. "I will not stand for this!"

"Then fall." Shoto stomped down with his right foot and sent a river of ice toward the podium his father was standing behind, encasing it in solid ice. Endeavor simply kicked the block, knocking it to the floor where it shattered with an icy crash. He ran at Shoto, but had temporarily forgotten about Dabi, who came at him from behind, barbequing his back with blue fire.

Endeavor: That won't work.

"Hmph," Endeavor turned toward Dabi with contempt, "did you forget that never worked when you were younger, Touya?"

"Oh, I'm just warming up!" Dabi taunted. "Besides, you can't even go all out right now because of all these reporters, so you can't hurt me either."

Endeavor shot a ball of flame as Dabi, who dodged to stand beside Shoto in front of the reporters, effectively using them as a shield.

Aizawa: There's still going to be a lot of collateral though.

All Might: All of Endeavor's fights do.

Recovery Girl: Yours aren't that much better.

"If we're going to fight, let's fight!" Endeavor yelled. "Only cowards use hostages."

"And only cowards beat their kids, so I guess that makes us even!" Dabi yelled back.

Monoma: I have no idea who to root for.

Shinso: Relatable.

The sirens were getting closer now, they'd probably arrive in under a minute along with at least a handful of heroes. Shoto and Dabi exchanged a look before turning around and firing into the crowd, superheating the air, but being sure to keep their attacks weak enough that the reporters would only be injured, not killed. Arriving heroes wouldn't be distracted by rescuing corpses, afterall.

Todoroki: Is that really the only reason I'm not killing now...?

Iida: That's not you, Todoroki...

Endeavor tackled Dabi, obviously seeing him as the bigger threat. Shoto rolled his eyes switched to ice. Might as well create a variety of injuries for the heroes to deal with when they arrived. Dabi and Endeavor grappled on the ground for a few moments before the fire trucks arrived and water started falling. A few hoses focused on carving pathways through the wall of flames, allowing some heroes through. They took one look at the hundred or so injured, screaming reporters and cursed.

"Let's take this elsewhere, yeah?" Dabi smiled. "You wouldn't want to get in the way of the rescue efforts, would you?"

Endeavor: Touya you won't get away with this-

Dabi: Save it for someone who cares about what you're saying.

He got up and ran away with Shoto on his heels, letting Endeavor chase after them. Apparently the area of the city they were in had already been evacuated, because they didn't run into anyone else. The other heroes apparently trusted that Endeavor could take care of his sons and didn't come to help. Everything was going according to the plan.
