The Greatest

15

I sat de transformed back at the Hero Commision office. The others had left but Mr Aizawa had caught me up about it and had told me to go back to the office and that is where I now sat. I was alone in a meeting room, my phone was on the table in front of me and not a single text from the BakuSquad or my Mum or Hitoshi. The BakuSquad probably hates me, Mum is probably still at work and hasn’t gotten the voicemail or email that Mr Aizawa sent her and Hitoshi is probably still trying to wrap his head around things. I don’t blame him. The dude who he likes has been lying to him for the past few months. Oh my god, what is my Mum going to think?
The door opened and I turned to look and it was Su Han. He stood in the open doorway and held out his hand. I knew what it was for. I stood up and walked over, I took my miraculous out of my hair and handed it to him. “Thank you.” He said, “I'm sure I’ll be able to find another holder just in time to take Hawk Moth down.” He told me and I nodded. I went and sat back down and looked at my phone. Not even a text from Adrian, Mari, Luka, Alya, Nino or Max. I sighed and rested my jaw in the palm of my hand, my elbow rested on the arm of the chair I was in.
The door opened again and it wasn’t Su Han, it was Mr Aizawa and Principal Neze, followed by the President of the Hero Commision. They all sat on the opposite side of the table from me. The President of the Hero Commision spoke first. “So, why weren’t any of us told about this?” She asked. “Why do you think?” I responded. “Don’t be rude. You had every opportunity to tell us so why didn’t you?” She continued. “Because that would have put me and the others in danger. Nobody can know our identities, that’s the most important rule of what we do.” I explained. “What if he finds out? How exactly does it put you in danger?” Nezu asked, calmly.
“Because we don’t know what he’ll do. If he’s willing to go this far to get what he wants, there’s nothing stopping from hurting us. Also, if he finds out who I am then he can find out who they are and if he gets our miraculouses, and the miracle box which Ladybug has then he has won.” I explained and Nezu and Mr Aizawa nodded along.
“That’s still no excuse.” The President argued. “Alright, say I tell you, there’s always a chance that it will get out and I’m either dead, my miraculous gone or both.” I argued and that shut her up. “Fine then.” She sighed. “From my calculations, you have been doing superhero work since thirteen, no hero licence whatsoever, we could arrest you and your cronies.” She challenged me. “That’s only with quirks, these aren't quirks, so unfortunately for you, you can’t do jack shit.” I replied.
“Ok, can we calm down please.” Nezu cut in. “You’ve stated your case and why you’ve done what you’ve done but I had one question: How did you become Queen Bee?”
“I didn’t really have a choice. The first time they needed me, I was LadyBug and Cat Noir’s friend so they went to me and I agreed because it was on the line and they needed help.” I explained. “Can you share their identities?” “No.” I replied. Nezu nodded. “Where is your jewel?” Mr Aizawa asked. “Sun Han already came for it. Since my identity has been revealed, it is no longer safe for it to still be in my custody. He’ll give it to someone knew.” He explained. It did upset me, but I didn’t let it show. They nodded and Nezu and the President of the Hero Commision left, leaving me with Mr Aizawa.
“The whole class saw you and you were on live TV, everyone knows.” Mr Aizawa mentioned. “I know.” I replied. “You're lucky Kaminari. If you had of been a vigilante in Japan, you would have been arrested, quirk or miraculous, but since it was in France, and they’re clearly fine with what you’re doing, you get off the hook but I have to have a long conversation with Nezu to see if you are permitted to come back to U.A.” Mr Aizawa explained. I nodded. “What did Mum say?” I asked.
“She’s shocked.” He replied. “And the BakuSquad?” I asked. “I don’t know, but Hitoshi wants to talk to you.” He explained. “You won’t be at school for the next week, on Sunday at 5pm you will get an email saying whether you can or can’t come back to U.A. You’re dismissed, Kaminari.” Mr Aizawa said and got up, he left the room, leaving me alone.

It had been a few days. I sat on a park bench at the park that me  and Hitoshi had normally gone to. Neither of us had spoken and I didn’t want to go to Mr Aizawa’s house; I wasn’t sure If I was welcome. But Hitoshi sat down next to me on the bench and sighed. “Dad told me why you didn’t tell anybody.” He told me and I nodded. “I don’t blame you and I’m not angry at you, I’m just shocked.” Hitoshi explained. “I don’t blame you.” I responded and he looked at me and I moved over and pulled him into a hug and sighed. “What does the BakuSquad think of this?” I asked.
“They’re still getting their heads around it. Do you want to drop by and see them?” He asked. “I’m not permitted on school grounds.” I explained and he nodded. “I see.” He replied. “Dad doesn’t know. He wants to let you back in but it has to go through the commission and she isn’t going to let it pass. She wants to arrest you but she can’t.” He explained.
“Shit.” I replied.

Sunday, 4:59pm, I waited in front of my laptop in the kitchen. Mum was sitting next to me, awaiting the news of whether I could return to U.A or not. I was stressing out so bad and I was fidgeting with my fingers and I kept hitting refresh and my Mum kept telling me not to worry. But a minute passed and I hit refresh and the email came in. I immediately opened it and I read through it out loud.

“Dear Kaminari Denki

After the events of the akumatization with the well known villain, All For One (AFO), your teacher, Aizawa Shouta and I have been discussing whether or not you should be accepted back into U.A and whether or not the Hero Course is the best option for you.
After a long hard conversation, Aizawa Shouta, President and I have come to an agreement and have made our decision and we think you will highly benefit from this. Kaminari Denki, you have been permitted back to Class 1A of the Hero Course at U.A high school - congratulations.

Principal Nezu.”

I literally jumped for joy, I called Hitoshi and I called the BakuSquad group chat. I had gotten back in contact with them after Kirishima had called me over a group study session at Sero’s house.
