"Switch sides?" I muttered, lost in thought.

"Yes. Put your loyalty and trust in us heroes. Give us information about the league of villains....weaknesses, secrets...that sort of thing. Let us know the next steps they take." Aizawa explained.

"How am I supposed to do that?" I asked.

"Simple. You return to the league, acting like nothing happened here. We give you an earpiece, and a bug to hear and see everything that's happening. Then you talk about it with us, and we figure out the heroes' next course of actions." Aizawa said.

Eijirou was the one to speak up now. "W-Wait a minute! Isn't that really dangerous?!" He exclaimed, his eyes laced with concern.

"Yes. It's very dangerous." Aizawa said, not mincing words, before continuing.

"However Margo, you're in a really dangerous situation already, just by being there. You're too defiant with them. It shows. Plus, like I said, Shigaraki won't just let you go, if you decide to leave the league. Working with the heroes is just another option you can take. The choice is yours." Aizawa said, gathering in the corner of the room with the other teachers to let me think about it.

It was just Eijirou and I at the table now.

I stared blankly, completely lost in thought.

Work with the heroes. Betray the league of villains...

Betray Dabi. The one who saved me.

I sighed softly, fighting with myself internally.

I felt Eijirou lightly place his hand on my shoulder, causing me to look up at him now.

He could tell I was struggling with myself.

"Who do you want to be, Margo." He whispered softly, gazing into my eyes warmly.

I couldn't bring myself to tear my eyes away from his gaze, becoming enamored with their gentle nature.

Eijirou continued studying me, before speaking again.

"I know this is hard for you. Just don't let those villains dictate your future. Hell—don't let anyone dictate your future. Think for yourself. Make your own choice, whatever it may be." He whispered, as my teachers walked back over to the table.

They simply sat down without a word, waiting for me to speak first.

Think for myself.

That's something I haven't been able to do in a long time.

What did I want?

I closed my eyes, letting myself envision the future I wanted.

After a few moments of thinking, it became clear to me, what I wanted.

I lifted my head now, taking a deep breath to calm my nervous heartbeat.

"I'll do it. I'll switch sides, and help you guys take down the league of villains." I stated determinedly, looking at my teachers with confidence.

What I wanted, was to do the right thing.

.......

After a few more hours of going over some instructions, it was time for me to head back to the league of villains headquarters.

This whole mission depended on whether or not Shigaraki killed me when I got back. I disappeared after the Hosu operation. I've been gone for two days. He probably thought I fled and deserted them.
