Accused

Interrogation

Midoriya POV

I open my door and I am shocked when I see Midnight, Aizawa and Nezu standing in front of my door.
They are all looking at me angrily and Aizawa even has his quirk activated, making him look not only angry but also really scary.

"H-how c-can I h-help you?", I asked, slightly trembling.

I was terrified, I mean who wouldn't be when two of your teachers and the principal were standing in front of your door at night, looking at you with nothing but hatred. And Aizawa also looked...disappointed?
Nobody answered my question, instead there was some rosy smoke slowly making it's way to me. Midnight had activated her quirk, Nezu and Aizawa are holding their nose closed to not inhale the gas.
I feel myself getting dizzy until I see nothing but black.

I wake up in a room, it looks like one of these rooms where people get interrogated by the police. And just like those people that get interrogated I am sitting in a chair, my hands cuffed and connected to the plain table in front of me with quirk cancelling handcuffs.

I'm scared...

Aizawa POV

We brought Midoriya to an interrogation room, the only one we have at UA.
The person with the truthtelling quirk won't be here for another hour but we will start the interrogation before that.
I am standing in a room next to the interrogation room. There are four monitors showing what is happening in the other room.
I see Midoriya waking up. He looks scared but I push away any feeling of sympathy, thinking: He betrayed us, he lied to us, he brought everyone in danger.

"I think we should start now.", Nezu, who was standing next to me, said.

I just nodded and Nezu gave Present Mic, who was also standing in the room, the sign to begin the interrogation.
We had planned for Present Mic to begin in a nice and friendly manner, if that didn't work than Nezu would be next and if even then Midoriya still wouldn't admit I would try till the person Nezu called came.

I continue looking at the monitors and see Mic enter the room. The pro hero greets Midoriya and Midoriya greets him as well, but in a more nervous voice. He doesn't ask why he was there, which only makes me more suspicious. At this point nothing could make me believe that he isn't a traitor.

Mic asks him if he knows why he is there and Midoriya said no. Liar.
After Mic explained the situation to Midoriya, the student starts defending himself, saying that it isn't true, that he isn't a traitor. Liar.
The English teacher keeps asking him, why and how he did it, what the villains offered him, but the student kept saying he was innocent, liar, and begging Mic to believe him.

Mic leaves the room and Midoriya keeps telling him he's innocent, but the pro ignores him and shuts the door. At this point tears are streaming down the greenhaired teens cheeks.

It is now Nezu's turn. Mic was back in the room with me and we watch the principal entering the other room.
He greets the, now less crying, boy and the boy returns the greeting.

The principal starts asking Midoriya the same questions Mic did but in a more stern and demanding way and the boy again says that he is innocent. Liar.

Nezu finished and came back. It was now my turn.

I enter the room and Midoriya looks up to me. As soon as he recognises me his eyes shimmer with the slightest bit of hope, but as soon as he sees the disgusted look on my face that shimmer disappears and is replaced with the shimmer of tears, threatening to leave his eyes that show nothing but hopelessness.
As before I push away any sympathy and tell myself: He's just faking it, a lot of villains learn how to cry on command to seem innocent.
I sit down in the chair, standing across from Midoriya.
I don't greet him.

"I'm going to cut straight to the point. Are you working with the villains?", I ask him with an angered tone while looking him straight in the eyes.

He starts crying again and answers:"No! I'm not working with the villains! Please...! What do I have to do for you to believe me?!?"

The freckled teen is now a sobbing mess, his eyes desperately looking for help. Normally I would have probably hugged him to calm him down, because, to be honest, I had a soft spot for my students. But in the current situation I thought of it as pathetic.

"We found your journals, they have informations on every student, teacher and hero you have ever met. You are selling these informations to villain don't you? Why do you do it, is it the money, do you hate heroes or do you just want power?", disgust swayed in every word I spoke.

Midoriya looks down on the table, shaking his head in disbelief while tears fall from his eyes over his cheeks and on the table he was chained to.
I keep questioning him but he doesn't answer anymore and just looks down on the table.

After a while I hear the door open. Midoriya looks up, he isn't crying anymore, his eyes and cheeks are red and his eyes look lifeless and drained of all emotions. I ignore it and turn to the door instead.

Nezu is standing next to a woman, she introduces herself as Hinata Takeshi, the person with the truthtelling quirk.
I introduce myself and stand up from my chair to let her sit down instead.
I walk over to the principal and we both watch as she greets the suspected traitor, but he doesn't greet her back, instead he looks down at the table again.

Ms. Takeshi activates her quirk and Midoriya looks up, his eyes not only emotionless and lifeless but also dull, as if he was blind.
She starts asking him the same questions he has been asked before, still saying that he wasn't a traitor.

And this is when it hit Nezu, Mic and mostly me: He was telling the truth the whole time, he really isn't a traitor.
I start regretting even thinking he could be a traitor, him, problem child, the one that tries to save everyone, even if it meant breaking arms and legs.

He is innocent, and I, his homeroom teacher, the one he is supposed to be able to trust the most, treated him like something disgusting, a criminal, villain.
