"The most logical mole would be me. I have a constant GPS signal that can only be regulated not switched off, I have ties everywhere and I recognised a villain," you explained to Nezu the day you came back.
"That may be, but I trust you. You wouldn't put the students in danger purposefully," he replied.
"Sir, we're heroes. None of us would do that. But I would like to resign," you finally broke the news.
"Nightingale the school needs you. I know and understand why you would like to resign, but how about a hiatus until end of break that can be shortened or extended?" Nezu negotiated.

"Alright. I still get my choice of companion for the memorial service this Friday right?" You asked.
"Of course."
"I would like Eraserhead to come with me, in that case," you decided.
"Figured you would pick me. Alright kiddo, I'll go with you," he smiled softly.
"Now, I need the two of you and all night to go to the houses and speak to the parents about the dorm system," Nezu handed papers for each student.
"Mouse man, I literally have files on all of them stored in my brain. Don't think we need those," you shrugged it off.
"Us mere mortals need them. We can't read binary code," Aizawa snatched the sheets.

"It's python. And you can learn it," you corrected. "Alright who's house first?"

One by one you finished the tasks and all the parents so far had agreed. The three of you headed to a house you visited less than a week ago.
"Might want to prepare yourselves. They aren't exactly normal," you warned ringing the doorbell.
"WHO IS IT? Oh Nightingale sweetie, how nice of you to come by. Are you checking in on the weak brat?" She greeted.
"No. We're here to propose a safer way of school for the students," you glared.

"Oh come in, come in. BRAT! YOUR TEACHERS ARE HERE, GET DOWN!" She yelled.
"SHUT UP OLD HAG, I'M COMING!" Bakugo yelled back.

"Alright we're here to propose the dorm system. Pretty self-explanatory. Kids get their own dorms and stay at school, with family visits on weekends," you stated bluntly.
Then all hell broke loose. The two blondes were arguing about the new system until Mitsuki went as far as blaming her son for Camino.
"No," you interrupted shooting a force field before the mom could slap her son. "It wasn't his fault. If anything, it was mine. I let him slip past because I was extremely startled and disoriented at the time. So please, Bakugo-San, don't make such interpretations if you don't even know half of the story. Now onto the system, do you agree or not?"

"We trust you to keep him safe. What you said at the press conference and what you said now as well does show you know what you're doing. So we agree to this, thank you," the family bowed together and you three took your leave.
"I swear that was too stressful," you commented.
"Hey! All might! What's Deku to you?" Bakugo came running out.
"A mere student, like you," Toshinori lied.
"And you-"

"KATSUKI! GET BACK IN, YOU'RE ON HOUSE ARREST!"
"HE'S WITH 3 WELL TRAINED HEROES, HE'LL BE FINE. WE'LL SEND HIM IN BEFORE WE LEAVE!" You yelled back.
"Why do you stick up for me? You don't know anything, you wouldn't understand!" He yelled.
"Bold of you to assume that I don't know or understand. I might not know everything, but I do understand the things I know so far. Sticking up, well if you don't want me to do so I'll stop," you shrugged making your way to the car. "Go inside before your mother kills me," you smiled.

"Guess we owe you a drink, huh Nightingale?" All might asked.
"I'm underage Toshinori," you dead panned.
"Way to ruin a moment," he deflated. "Anyways we should split up. I'll take the next house the two of you continue."
"Alright. Might as well as split everything up," you decided.

"There's only three left. Jiro, Yaoyorozu and Mydoria," Aizawa pointed out.
"I'll take Jirou, All might's taking Izuku so have fun with Yao's parents Sho," you awkwardly finger gunned at him, flying to Jirou's house and ringing the bell.
"Kyoka, can you get the door? That should be the teachers or my new vinyl!" Someone yelled from inside making you snicker.
"Oh Nightingale, hey," she casually greeted.
"Wow, that's the best greeting so far. So your family's pretty chill huh?" You asked, slightly jealous.
"Very. It's not the vinyls dad, it's a teacher!" She called letting you in.

"Hey Mr. Jirou. Nice to meet you. Hi Mrs. Jirou," you greeted.
"We've read the form already but what's the guarantee of safety?" Her dad got straight to the point.
"They'll be constantly under our watch, plus since the league made a big splash on media, they might want to keep it on the low. Plus, I can guarantee that even if another attack were to happen, I will protect them over anything," you replied calmly.
"Wait you're the girl that fought side by side with All Might that day," he realised. "Alright, we trust you. Keep the promise though, I don't want anything happening to her."
"Don't worry sir, she'll be safe," you smiled.

"I convinced Yaoyorozu's, not very easily but I convinced them," Aizawa grumbled.
"Mydoria is coming to the dorms," Toshinori yelled trying to go into his old form but failing.
"Idiot. You're supposed to rest. Why'd you come along anyways? I convinced Jirou's parents but I swear the dad's ready to kill me if anything happens to Jirou," you shuddered.
"So all problem children are coming. This year will be interesting," Aizawa mused.
"Am I there for your entrance speech or only for dorm orientation?" You asked.
"You're on hiatus aren't you? You've arranged your room I'm assuming so take a break. The memorial is this evening, prepare yourself," Aizawa said letting you go.

Your dorm was completely arranged with pin boards and files. To anyone it would look like an office, except to you. Your bed was hanging next to the lights like a nest of sorts giving you enough space for everything else.

You looked in the mirror and noticed something. Your braid, a tribute to a supposedly dead person was still there.
You grabbed one of your knives and cut it shoulder length. Tribute to an actual dead person, one much dearer to you than Touya Todoroki. You refined the edges with a pair of scissors until you're satisfied with the outcome.

Cleaning the mess on the floor, you changed into a simple black dress and your leather jacket. Slipping on your boots and hat, you took your embroidery set and sat in the common room sewing. It was a simple patch but the most memorable scene of that night for sure. However since you couldn't sew entire humans onto a small patch, you drew an Ace of Hearts crossed out.
You sewed that on top of your breast pocket and finished just when a horde of danger magnets walked in.

"Woah Nightingale Sensei! Your hair!" Mina awed at your new style.
"It is very stylish. Suits you!" Aoyama gave a sparkly thumbs up.
"Thanks. Get settled in, after your tour. Eraser, what time?" You asked.
"We'll leave at 7:30. Enough time for-"
"Me to launch the feint. Starts at 8, everyone tells me when they leave and I put a hologram in their place," you repeated the words you had memorized.
"Exactly. Come on now, bathrooms are here," he continued with the tour. You were about to walk into your room when Bakugo stopped you.

"Hey. I don't know what you meant when you said you understood and knew everything and I won't pressure. But why is it that you have a different dynamic with everyone else than with me? They're friends to you, some you even call by their first names but what am I?" He asked, clearly having thought about that a lot.
"I won't go into details. Simple things like going shopping together or cheering each other up before Camino. We automatically bonded. If you want I can call you by your first name too Katsuki," you offered testing waters.
"Tch. Do whatever," he shrugged and stalked off.
