Aizawa sat in the classroom dosing off. He didn't get his wish, he'd been up all day and all last night talking with Surebu. She was quite the chatterbox once you'd got her started. It reminded Aizawa of a very loud friend of his that he could never get rid of.
"Aizawa-sensie?" Aizawa's eyes shot open and he looked over the room to see everyone in the room watching him. "Are you okay? You've been a lot more tired than usual," Momo was the one speaking, and she seemed worried. Then again the entire class look worried.
"I'm fine," Aizawa yawned. "Just been working overtime with a small matter. No need to worry," he tried to reassure, but it only did the opposite.
"Maybe you should take some time off?" Tsuyu suggested poking her tongue out as she spoke. Aizawa smiled at the girl.
"If only that was possible. Looks like my work loads about to double in the next couple of days," Aizawa sighed sitting up properly in his chair. He had to stay awake a little longer. He seemed to wonder if Surebu had the same trouble he did. She stays up all night. Does she sleep through the day when Aizawa isn't there? Maybe. She's got the time for it.
"Is it hero work or the class work?" Izuku's voice appeared in the room.
"A mixture of both. I've currently got a villain in questioning and am working on something for Nezu," Aizawa explained.
"Questioning?" Mina was way to exited about this for her own good. "How long till he has no other option but to talk?"
"That's the problem," Mina's face dropped at Aizawa's words. "Damn villain is too stubborn for their own good. I'm not getting them to talk anytime soon," Aizawa rubbed his eyes thinking things over. Surebu was probably the most trusted villain in the world. He couldn't believe that he actually trusted her as much as he did, but she did admit that she'd rather stay then go and help the villains, so maybe Aizawa could relax a bit. Maybe...
The bell rang for the end of class and students began grabbing their things. Before Aizawa could get up to leave Bakugo stood in front of him.
"If you need someone to make that villain spill the information you need, I can help," he grinned. Aizawa sighed looking at the boy.
"I won't be needing it. Nezu and I have began on a new plan that we know is going to break the stubborn thing," Aizawa spoke harsher then intended, but Bakugo seemed to just push Aizawa's limits some days. Today was one of them.
"If there is anything you need other then that," Momo appeared behind Bakugo. It was then Aizawa realised that there was a few other students who had stayed back. "Just ask and I'll see what I can do," Momo fininshed. Aizawa thought over her words, it seemed everyone else was at an agreement.
"Actually," Aizawa smiled tiredly. "There might be something you can help me with," Momo stood straight looking at Aizawa intently.
Momo lead Aizawa through the girls dorms with Tsuyu and Uraraka following.
"So we're getting a new girl in class 1-A?" Uraraka asked exited.
"Yes. She's coming from a very hard place and Nezu and I are hoping to help her," Aizawa explained. He didn't lie. It was just a half truth. Only missing out the fact that she was a villain.
"So does she have a bad home life? That seems tough," Tsuyu croaked in. Aizawa stopped and turned to the girl.
"I wish I knew, but she isn't one for sharing the dark details, so please make her feel welcome. I don't want her to feel left out for coming into class later then everyone else," Aizawa spoke softly trying to help them realise that this was important. The three nodded at Aizaea in understanding.
Finally Momo stopped by a door. "This room is right next to mine. This way I could keep an eye on her if you'd like," Aizawa couldn't stop the smile that spread across his lips. He felt quite proud of his students some days. This was one of them... Unless it was Bakugo.
Without waisting any more time Momo opened the door to a completely empty room. There was a large window that lead to a balconie. This made Aizawa re-think. They couldn't let her have a balconie. She could easily escape, but then again this was Surebu he was thinking about. Finally Aizawa walked in.
"So when are you moving her stuff in?" Uraraka asked smiling at her teacher, but when all she got in return was silence that smile faded. "Aizawa-sencei?" she spoke.
"All she has is the cloths on her back. The school didn't even get her a bed," Aizawa sighed realising that there was a problem.
"Okay then," Momo spoke fermly. "When will she be here?"
"A few hours maybe. If not then tomorrow," Aizawa answered.
"It's settled. I'm going to get the room done," Momo stated walking through the door. At first Aizawa was suprised at the thought. How could Momo set up Surebu's room without anything to put in it? Then he rememberd. It was Momo. She could make anything she wanted and so he nodded and walked out, going to find his new student.
Aizawa had practiced his speach to Surebu. He wasn't sure how she'd take it. Honestly he thought she'd be offended. The idea of her, someone thought of as a villain, going to a hero school like a normal kid. Maybe this wasn't the best idea?
He took a deep breath once he stood at the door to Surebu's current prison cell. He thought over his next few words before opening the door.
"There you are. I was starting to think you weren't coming today," Surebu said the second that she saw the door open. "But you did forget your dinner," she chuckled. It was then Aizawa remembered her dinner. Aizawa looked at her thinking, then an idea came to him.
"Get up," he ordered. Surebu looked at Aizawa confused. "You want dinner or not?" He asked. Without a second thought Surebu stood up and began to walk over to Aizawa as he opened the door again.
"You really trust me enough to let me out?" Surebu asked watching Aizawa walk out.
"You have no idea about how much I trust you," Aizawa whispered hoping she didn't hear, but her smile proved she did. "Just go," he told before watching her walk out of the room.
They got to the cafeteria quickly with only a few moments where Surebu wondered off to look at something. In fact now that Aizawa thought about it, she was acting like this was all new to her, the school environment that is. It was the small things that had her eyes sparkling.
It was only now, while Aizawa sat across from her in the large empty cafeteria eating his dinner that he realised, she never had that sparkle in her eyes before. Never had the look of joy. The day they met she was a completely different person. Her eyes were dull and hopeless, almost like she'd given up. Now Aizawa was watching her as she ate her dinner with a huge smile as her joyful and hopeful eyes darted around the room curiously. He couldn't even stop the smile that appeared on his face.
"Well someone's happy," those three words reminded Aizawa that she was actually paying attention to him as well. She seemed to really like the idea of keeping an eye out for any movement. Nothing ever got past her. It was at this point of time Aizawa believed he should bring up the new events.
"Actually I am quite excited about Nezus latest development," he stated casually. In the corner of his eye he noticed that Surebu was interested in what he had to say. He had noticed that when she liked the conversation her ears would twitch and she'd limit her movement to focus more on the conversation. If she's disinterested she'd keep moving, but she was still. Seeing this he continued. "We were discussing what to do about you."
"Nothing new I see," she chuckled finishing off her food.
"Yes. You see I had a thought that maybe we could give you a bit more freedom," once again she chuckled.
"That explains why I'm out here."
"Not exactly. I was in a rush today and just forgot your food. I wasn't planning on walking all the way down here then back to the interagation room just to get you your food," Aizawa spoke honestly. He felt really lazy today for some reason. "What I meant was that I want you to become my student," he stated plainly. Surebu sat there frozen at his words. "In other words, you'll have your own room to stay in. You'll have to get to classes in the morning and stay there with everyone else till classes are over, then go back to your room."
"So I can walk from one place to the other on a schedule? Yep, freedom," Surebu folded her arms across her chest and turned her head away.
"You'll be aloud to wonder freely at lunchtime like everyone else. You'll be aloud to spend time in the common room with everyone else. You will have a curfew like everyone else. The only difference is that I'll have to lock your door at night and unlock it in the morning," Aizawa explained staring the girl down.
"Do I get a say in this?" Surebu sighed slouching. Aizawa paused before continuing.
"If you want to go back to the interagation room then fine. I waisted all that time for nothing, and this conversation never happened. I just thought it would be a bit less boring for you and easier for me," Aizawa spoke honestly. Surebu looked off into the distance in deep thought.
"You'd actually trust me to get to class and to bed on time?" She asked not looking at him.
"Yes. I would," Aizawa told finishing his food. The two stayed silent for some time before Aizawa sighed. "You don't have to answer me right now, but a few of the girls are quite eager to meet you," Aizawa stood grabbing his plate, but before he could go put it away Surebu latched on to his hand. Aizawa turned angry that she nearly made him drop the plate, but once he saw her face all he could do was stare.
She was staring down at the table in disbelief, almost like she was struggling to think. She hadn't moved from her chair, but she was now kneeling on it rather than sitting. Her right arm was the one that had grabbed him while the other was just a clenched fist.
"Momo..." Aizawa was frozen at what he heard. "And Uraraka?" Surebu looked up at Aizawa with teary eyes. "And Tsuyu? They're actually trying?" She looked back down. Aizawa felt both scared of what just happened, and bad about how she reacted to the thought of people being nice enough to do something for her. The more Aizawa thought the more he realised that something as simple as that would have an effect on her. She would've come from a very horrible place to end up with the League of Villains.
Aizawa kneeled down in front of her with a soft smile. "You don't normally get treated kindly, do you?" Surebu shook her head answering Aizawa's question. "You should get used to it," Aizawa stated standing up. Surebu's eyes followed him as he did so. "And maybe find a way to stop whatever quirk you just used," her eyes widened at his statement. He'd figured it out. "Some people don't like the invasion of privacy," how he figured it out Surebu didn't know, but she'd hide it from anyone else. Even if it meant she could never use it again.
A look of determination took over Surebu's features as she stood from her chair. "Let's go meet the class then," she stated grabbing her plate and walking away to put it where it belongs. Aizawa smiled following a bit behind her.
