The Fallen (Aizawa x OC)

Ch 63 - Acceptance

"Endeavor was amazing yesterday, wasn't he?"

"Yeah! I was scared stiff when he was knocked down by the Nomu though."

Ah they're talking about the fight from yesterday evening... Mitsu thought to herself. Eri had just fallen asleep for a nap when she got a text from Kenma to check the news. The entire time she was watching Endeavor and Hawks fight the Nomu, Mitsu had been restless and itching to go help.

But she knew she could no longer do anything to help, she would just get in the way.

Useless

That feeling had manifested itself stronger than it ever has since the Shie Hassaikai incident.

I know that we all discussed that theoretically, if we could help Eri control her powers, she could restore Mirio's and my quirk, but what if something terrible happens before that? If something happened, and I knew I would have been able to change the outcome if I had had my quirk, I don't know how I'd be able to handl-

"Mitsu, you okay?"

The white haired female was pulled out of her thoughts by the gentle hand placed on the small of her back. She smiles before turning, "I'm okay Sho, just thinking about some stuff. Eri is with Mirio?"

Aizawa hums in affirmation and he walks towards the classroom door, already getting a minor headache from all the noise from inside, "You ready?"

With a nod, Mitsu follows closely behind Aizawa as he slides the 1-A door open.

"WELCOME BACK HIMITSU-SENSEI!!"

Mitsu is met with a loud and warm welcome as she steps her foot into the homeroom classroom she loves and adores.

"I'm so happy to see you guys again!!" Mitsu gives them a bright close-eyed smile.

None of the students commented on her newly restored eyes and vision, as they had been updated on it by Aizawa and Nezu, mentally preparing them so that none of them were too thrown off by the big change. They all thought that it may be a bit of a risky topic to bring up so they decided to start chattering about their excitement of having Mitsu back, but one particular voice calls out through all the noise.

"H-how are you Himitsu-sensei? I mean you're still teaching us right? E-even though you're q-qui-" Midoriya stammers as he awkwardly asks the question that's been eating at a lot of 1-A's minds. But his question is cut off by the sound of ice forming and the loud screech of a chair.

Mitsu gracefully dodges the icicle that Todoroki shoots at her, using her momentum to grab a charging Bakugo's arm and slamming him onto the floor.

"She's fine ya nerd," Bakugo gasps out as the wind is knocked out of him. Todoroki is silently nodding in the back of the room, never having doubted his elder sister's skills as genuine, even without her quirk.

A silent breath of relief is released from many members of 1-A, they had been genuinely worried that their beloved homeroom teacher wouldn't be able to stay with them, but their worries were quickly shut down by some of the best fighters in the class.

Not only did the two boys bring the class relief, but Mitsu as well. She had been a little worried about how the class would react and was thankful for Bakugo and Todoroki's intervention.

"Anyways I'm sorry I missed your performance at the School Festival, Eri told me it was amazing! I'm so proud of you all!" Mitsu bows in apology, "I promise to do my best to make up for lost time!"

"It's okay Himitsu-sensei, we just wanted you to have a full recovery. We're just so happy to see you after so long!" Mina chirps out and the rest of the class nod in agreement.
