"I can't help but feel that I'm the only one taking this seriously." Shogeki gave a side-eyed glance to the teachers standing around with him, a few of them not even in costume, and a select few playing on their phones. Hell, he even bothered putting his own costume on, mask and all, and it was a real pain in the ass tying his hair up in a way that makes the whole thing comfortable. Now these chuckle-fucks weren't even putting in any effort, so what the hell was even the point? Not to mention it was the fuckin' break of dawn and he'd been out working last night, so he's running less sleep than some of these morons. They better have a damn good excuse or he'll be throwin' a fit the next chance he's got alone with them.

"Most of us are teachers that work during the day, we're used to sleeping in on Saturdays." Kayama tried to argue, yawning halfway through her sentence, which just made Shogeki hum sarcastically. Of course they didn't have a good excuse.

'I'm starting to think I give them too much credit.' He thought. "Hey, Yagi-sensei, how long till the bitch gets here?" Shogeki turned to Yagi, who had just gotten off the phone with the police. "And I'd like a real answer this time, not a half-assed excuse."

"Wow, you're really not a morning person, are you?" Aizawa smirked at the younger hero, curled up in his sleeping bag like the hypocrite he is.

"They should be arriving soon, Shogeki-shonen, we won't have to wait much longer. For now, we should focus on making sure we look presentable." Yagi interrupted before their little spat became an argument. Shogeki turned back to the road and pulled out his phone, trying to field messages from his shit friends asking about the prisoner. In keeping with his brand, Totsu was still referring to this Toga chick as his "girlfriend", so the next time he pissed him off, Shogeki'll just let her stab him. Hell, he might even tell her how to actually hurt the bastard.

"Well, before they get here, I think I finally deserve an answer as to why you morons are sticking me with this chick. Am I being punished for something someone else did? I barely do anything outside of school and hero work, so I can only assume somebody else fucked up."

Nedzu decided to explain his reasoning to the student. "Toga holds a wealth of information into the inner workings of the League of Villains, and information like that doesn't come around every day. You'll be watching over Toga in order to gain her trust in order for her to reveal certain details to you. Once we've gotten what we need, she'll be handed back over to the police and will be given proper treatment to ensure her mental health while she serves her sentence for her crimes."

"Again, you're forgetting the part where I get dragged into this."

"Toga's primary weapons are knives and needles, anything sharp and metallic." Aizawa spoke up, "Your quirk allows your body to be a living conduit for electricity. If she stabs you, she'll be hit with a few thousand volts, which would normally kill a person. If that happens, we'd expect you to use your quirk to restart her heart and restrain her until a member of staff arrives." The older man sighed before he continued, "As an aside, there are certain individuals in the first year that would aggravate Toga's mental condition, and the third years are stretched incredibly thin between their schoolwork and their internships. You work mostly at night and have shown that your schedule hasn't been affected by that, and you already skip most of your classes while doing the work on your own time."

"But more than anything, Shogeki-kun," Nedzu continued, "Despite your unique personality, you've shown yourself to be responsible enough to take on such a long term assignment. Plus, should your efforts yield enough fruit, I might see it fit to reward you."

Shogeki clicked his tongue, "So my own efforts towards some peace and quiet in my life has made me the best candidate for a loud and crazy assignment. God damnit."

Soon enough, a full police escort pulled up outside of the school, transporting a police van with Toga inside. She was led out by a squad of armed guards, cuffed and chained all to shit, with that Detective Tsukauchi guy leading her by a chain. Shogeki had to force down a chuckle when he noticed that Toga had been forced to wear a muzzle, yet despite this her eyes showed a child-like joy. Muffled words came from behind the muzzle, seemingly uncaring that they couldn't be heard, making him smirk behind his mask.

"Aww, she's like a puppy." He said with some amusement. He then turned to the Detective, his voice dropping into a deadpan, "Do you want her back? I'm sure you'd enjoy raising such a cute thing."

Detective Tsukauchi gave a nervous chuckle, passing the keys to her restraints over to Shogeki. "Sorry, my wife and I are more into cats than we are into dogs."

"Figures. Well, let's get going Stabby, I've got to get you settled before I can get on with my day, so let's get to it." He grabbed the chain that the Detective had been holding and started walking back to the dorms, dragging Toga along with him. Even muzzled, she was talking her head off, looking around the campus like a child at a theme park for the first time, and it was pissing him off. Luckily, it was about 4am, meaning that despite it being a Saturday, all of the students were still asleep, keeping Toga's presence at the school a secret. The only people who'd be aware that she was here was the staff and the students of 2-A, which was already more than he'd consider safe but oh well.

He led her through the door into the second year common room, where Shogeki had gathered a select few of his classmates to introduce her to. The second he walked into the room, however, he already wanted to kill himself. Three of his classmates were there, and granted he'd woken them up an hour ago, but he'd have been a liar if he said the sight of them didn't cause him grief.

"Dude, what the hell, why are you in costume?" Totsu asked from the couch, looking over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow. Beside him were Hamada and Kikai, both of whom were sitting on the floor to avoid breaking/ruining the couch.

"Because unlike you morons, as well as apparently half the god damn staff, I'm a professional." Shogeki argued, still annoyed with some of the teachers.

"Yeah okay, Mr. Professional, why are you still in costume?"

"Because parts of my suit are heavy and awkward to just carry around, and I've got to make sure this bitch doesn't cause any problems. Alright, let's just get this over with then." He yanked on the chain a bit, causing the villain to stumble forward a bit. "Toga, these are my classmates who will be helping me watch over you." He pointed to Hamada first, "That's Hamada Arisu, she'll be watching over you when the situation would be considered immoral for me to be there, such as bathing, changing, and the works. Also, she can't be stabbed, so don't even try."

"Shogeki-kun, stop being so mean, she's already all tied up. Can't you at least take the mask off of her?" Hamada, always the ditz, didn't seem to feel the glare Shogeki was sending her way, so he had to verbally shut down that stupid suggestion.

"Moving on, that's Totsu Hayate, he's incredibly difficult to stab, so it's not worth the effort of trying to stab him. Behave yourself, and I might teach you how to hurt him in a way that matters."

"Dude, the fuck?" Totsu looked at Shogeki like he'd been stabbed in the heart, which was fitting for their current situation.

"Quit trying to bribe my dad into selling you my shit. If I wanted to sell them, I'd have fuckin' sold 'em, and I would have sold 'em for what they're worth, not the pocket change you've been trying to bag them for." He then gestured to the 8-foot-tall robot sitting on the floor nearby. "Lastly, this is Kikai Kameyo. The full explanation would require me to have a full night's sleep and to brush up on my hardware textbooks, but the short of it is that they're a robot. No blood, no bones, just robot. They open up their stomach and shove metal into it and they can fix or augment their body. Most notably, it's really hard to stab a robot. By now, I hope you've started to notice a pattern here."

Kikai waved to her from their spot on the floor, their movements a bit slower than normal, which Shogeki noticed. "Kikai, you've done your part, you can go and rest up or whatever it is you do."

"You can't just give me a charge, Darling? It would be oh so helpful." The robot's voice was of a higher pitch than you'd expect, and it was slightly distorted with static, as though their voice was coming through an aged speaker, which wouldn't be too far from the truth.

"Not anymore, I've got to start keeping my charge in order to leave my room. Fuckin' 2 million volts, that's bullshit. Let's go Toga, we need to get you settled into your new room." With that, he pulled away from the others, trying to ignore how she was trying to wave at them despite her restraints, making it seem like she was twitching the right side of her body. He led her to his door, thankful that he lucked out and got a room on the first floor.

As was promised, the walls surrounding his room had been reinforced and a special electromagnetic lock was installed onto a similarly reinforced door. In order to make it easier for Shogeki, a special wall outlet was installed beside the door, which was directly connected to UA's electrical grid, meaning that charging himself with 2 million volts was easier than it would normally be. Opening the door, he resisted the urge to just push Toga into the room, but instead he let her walk in of her own volition.

He closed the door behind him and dropped her chain, throwing the keys onto his bed and removed the muzzle from Toga's mouth, surprised that she didn't immediately start talking. Instead, she started looking around the room, a look on her face that Shogeki chose to ignore. He roughly pulled off his mask, making the hairpins he'd been using to keep his hair in place to fall loose, which caused some hair to fall into his face. Brushing it aside, he threw his mask onto his bed and started taking off his wrist guards.

"Wait, are you stripping?" Toga asked, a surprised look on her face.

"Glad to see you put a lot of thought into your first words, girl. This is my room and I keep my suit in my room, it's a pain in the ass to carry around big pieces of copper. I'll change in the bathroom for the most part but my suit doesn't leave this room unless I'm cleaning it or wearing it."

She giggled in a way that was far more creepy than was needed. "Aw, I'm glad you're not too shy. I think we'll get along just fine. Now, do you think you can let me go? Pretty please?" She shifted her face into what Shogeki guessed was supposed to be puppy dog eyes, which made his earlier statement to the Detective all the more accurate. Guess he was gonna have to teach her the rules far sooner than he thought.

"Alright, here's what's gonna happen." Now shirtless, having taken off the top half of his suit, he picked up the keys and began to undo her restraints. "To the left of us is my side of the room. On that side is my bed, next to which is a small nightstand. There's a drawer in it, and inside that drawer is a small knife that I borrowed from Totsu to help me fix the holes I'd nailed into the walls. I'm gonna finish removing these restraints, then I'm gonna grab my clothes, and I'm gonna go to the bathroom to change. And nothing is going to happen."

Having been silent during his whole spiel, she now stood completely still with no emotion on her face. He nodded, hooked the keys onto the copper choker he wore, turned around to grab some clothes from his dresser and, without looking back, made his way to the door. Now he'll admit, it's pretty impressive that she managed to get the knife so quickly without making any noise, especially when he was listening for the little squeaking sound that the drawer made when you open it too slowly. But the second the tip of the knife pierced his skin, a bright spark lit up the room and Toga fell to the ground, arguably dead. Shogeki sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and counted off a few seconds beforekneeling down beside her and channeling an electric charge into his fingers. Timing it in his head, he used his hands as a defibrillator to restart her heart, holding her down while she jolted back to consciousness and wrestling the knife from her hands.

"I'm gonna go get changed now. Try not to die while I'm gone." He patted her on the cheek before walking out of the room. On his way to the bathroom, he knocked on Totsu's door and gave him his knife back, hoping he won't have to teach his new "friend" this lesson a second time.

A tugging sensation on his neck is what woke Shogeki up in the middle of the night, the clock on his nightstand reading 3am. Sitting on his chest was Toga, in her hands was the small steel tag he wore on his choker, long before he added the keys. She was squinting, trying to read it, but it was just too dark. The window in his room had been removed in order to properly reinforce the walls, so not even moonlight lit up the room.

"It says 'Yonah', she was my dog when I was younger. She died, and I kept her tag. Now get off of me."

"Oh?" Toga sounded way too coy for his liking, "Does the big hero not li-" She was cut off when her body was shoved to the ground. Luckily for Shogeki, there was a wall outlet on the wall right by his feet, so he'd built up a charge while he slept, allowing him to use his quirk to turn on the lamp by Toga's bed. They both blinked, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. With a heavy sigh, the man decided that ignoring her would probably solve all of his problems, so he got out of bed to head to the bathroom.

"If you've gotta go to the bathroom, then let's go, because you're not gonna get a second chance. Some first day this has been." The last part was mumbled under his breath as he pulled on some sweatpants and grabbed a pair of handcuffs, resisting the urge to rattle the cuffs. She might be a murderer, but he probably shouldn't treat her like some kind of animal. Once cuffed, he charged up and opened the door, leading her by the back of her neck down the hall towards the bathroom. He removed the cuffs and walked in with her, ignoring the looks she sent his way.

"Look, normally we wouldn't have this problem, but we still need to set up a bathroom schedule with Hamada, so until then you're stuck with me."

"Am I really supposed to go to the bathroom with you staring at me?" Toga asked, a misplaced smile on her face.

"Y'know, despite your words you sound way too happy about this." The girl only smiled wider, making Shogeki shudder despite himself. He turned to look at the wall, giving the girl some privacy. "Alright, I'm gonna turn my back to you, and let you do your thing. You'll do the same for me, then we can go back to bed. One of us has a job to do tomorrow, and I'm not allowed to skip work in order to babysit."

"So, after everything that's happened today, I don't think you've ever introduced yourself to me. You've shown me off to your friends, but you still haven't told me your name." She went quiet for a minute, which Shogeki had naively taken to mean that she'd chosen to leave him alone. Suddenly, her voice came from directly behind him, her hot breath sending chills up his naked back, "When am I gonna learn the name of my new boyfriend?"

"Girl, if I can feel your breath on me it means you are way too close." He turned around, assuming she'd finished. Grabbing her head, he moved her over to the window. "Here, look at the pretty stars, leave me alone for a minute."

She grabbed the waistband of his pants, throwing her arms around like a child throwing a tantrum. "No! Tell me your name, I wanna know your name! Everyone else gets to say your name, I wanna call my boyfriend by his name!" Shogeki tried shushing her, but she only grew more upset, stamping her feet as her tantrum grew worse.

"Will you be fuckin' quiet, you're gonna wake everyone up! If I tell you my name, you have to be quiet for the rest of the night, got it?" Her eyes lit up, nodding her head so fast he was afraid it would fly off. "Alright, my name is Shogeki Akira, now be quiet okay?" A bright blush covered her face as she cradled her cheeks, swaying back and forth as she giggled and swooned quietly. He took this chance to relieve himself, trying his hardest to ignore the soft mutterings of "Aki-chan" coming from behind him like a creepy-ass chant. Washing his hands, he made to cuff Toga again, this time with almost no resistance from the girl.

He took her back to his room, closing the door behind them and getting her back to bed. She tried to give him a kiss goodnight, to which he threatened to cuff her to her bed, and he climbed back into bed himself. 'Let's hope she doesn't try to climb into bed with me again.' He thought, 'I need at least some sleep if I'm gonna be functional tomorrow.'
