Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. (OC/Reader x Aizawa)

start fresh next semester.

The lift doors whirred open. The students of 1-A were all seated in the common room. All chatter ceased when I appeared- an awkward silence in the air. Shota followed behind as I made my way to the front of the room.

"Okay." I take a deep breath, knowing that the entire class's attention is on me.

"As you all must know, I left here to join the League of Villains. What you don't know, is that it was an undercover mission." The class felt a palpable sense of relief- any worries of my villain career were now quashed. "I couldn't tell you about it because of the top-secret nature, and because there is a leak inside UA. But now I've left, they know, and so can you."

"We knew you couldn't have turned bad, Miss L/N." Uraraka stated. The rest of the students nodded in agreement.

"Did anyone else know?" Kaminari asked.

"Only Nezu, All Might, Mr Aizawa, and Shinso." The class turned to the purple-haired teen, with mouths agape.

"Shinso! Motherfucker!" Kaminari playfully hit Hitoshi on the shoulder. Hitoshi's cheeks tinted rose.

"Sorry guys." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"The work I did was very important. I've learned a lot of what the League are planning. But, at least for now, I'm back." I tried to stay vague. I knew that I'd have to head off to Hosu City to deal with Stain (as per Endeavour's wishes), but until then, I had a very busy day. I wasn't officially back at work yet, so I had to spend today meeting with the police to debrief them on the mission, meet with Shota and Hizashi together to see where my classes are at, then I had to meet Endeavour to let him know where we're at with Stain. What a welcome, eh?

"This week, we should have a welcome home party!" Uraraka shouted. The other kids seemed in agreement, which put a smile on my face.

"Sure. Thank you, that seems lovely. I do have to head off, but I'll see you guys tonight."

I never expected how hard I'd fall for teaching. I would die for these kids.

For now though, I needed to get to the station for debriefing.

I sipped on sweet tea in a Styrofoam cup, the heat burning the tip of my tongue. Detective Tsukauchi and All Might walked in, files in hand.

"Well? Take it away, L/N." Tsukauchi prompted, sitting in the chair opposite me in the interrogation room. I cleared my throat.

"Uh- well, most of the mission objectives were achieved. I know about the League's next moves, and Stain's whereabouts." He nodded, writing down everything I said.

"And getting your quirk back?" I held my breath, getting up and appearing behind Tsukauchi, next to All Might.

"What do you think?" I deadpanned. Tsukauchi laughed quietly.

"Great. And did you leave as soon as you got it back?"

Shit. Keigo.

"...I didn't." The pair raised a brow and turned to each other. "I went back. I thought it would be smarter to leave not in the presence of All For One. Dabi took me to this random basement." The two listened intently. "Kei- Hawks was being held hostage." All Might's lips parted slightly in surprise.

"And his status?" I shook my head.

"Killed in action. There was a blaze- he couldn't have escaped in time." Tsukauchi looked down, shocked at the news.

"Why was he of all people captured?" Shit.

"Dabi... thought I would want to torture him. In his sick mind, this was a 'present' for me, for the way he treated me during our relationship." He raised a brow.
