UA Traitor (Denki. It's Denki)

Part 5 (horrah)

-------Monday--------

Mr. Aizawa stood at the front of the class, his usual tired expression replaced with one of piercing seriousness. "Some of you may be aware," He said, "that the hero's and faculty have found out that there is a traitor at UA." He paused, collecting himself. "And we've narrowed it down to classes 1A and 1B. Class 1B is also hearing about this."

Silence had never been so loud. Everyone was either glancing around at the people next to them, or staring intensely at Mr.Aizawa. I was terrified. I had been so careful- I knew that they would eventually figure there was a traitor, but never so soon, or narrow it down to just two classes. It must have been the training camp, when the Vanguard Action Squad had captured Bakugou. Only 1A and 1B had gone to the camp.

"So," Mr.Aizawa continued, and I snapped back into reality, "I understand that the traitor could be cooperating with the League of Villains for various reasons; they could be forcing you to help you, or be keeping someone important to you hostage.I'm going to ask the traitor to please come forward now.

I almost laughed. As if they really thought that would work. At the same time, I wanted to stand up and electrocute Aizawa for saying that the League would force an innocent to spy for them when they have plenty of loyal people to do it for them. Or maybe I could, like, electrocute him and laugh at the same time. Compromise. I could feel the grin fighting to blow my cover, but I stuffed it down.Had Toga been rubbing off on me?

When no one raised their hand, Mr.Aizawa sighed through his nose and said, "In that case, I am going to check in with class 1B, and if no one has come forward as the traitor, we will be having questioning sessions by a lie detector."

That was fine. Denki had learned how to get through a lie detector test from Tomura when he was in elementary school.

Mr.Aizawa walked out of the room, and a single voice broke the silence. "Why would someone do that?" I looked to the side and saw Izuku staring down at his hands.

I shrugged, and said, "Well, maybe they support Stain's ideals, or grew up with the LOV, or saw a flawed society that they wanted to change. Or maybe they were waiting for a hero who would never come to save them."

The class stared at me, and I realised my mistake too late.

"D-denki?" Jiro stuttered, looking at me like I had just grown an arm out of my forehead.

I forced a grin, trying to recover the situation. "Yeah," I asked as I slipped my phone and clicked the emergency button, and dialed Tomura's number under my desk.

"Why do you sound like you know this person?" Ojiro asked, looking around at me.

"I dunno," I said forcing a nervous laugh, "I guess I was just thinking about that one guy, um, Shigaraki?" I cursed myself over and over in my head, because HOW STUPID WAS I?????

Mr.Aizawa walked back into the classroom, and saw everyone look at me, who was probably looking very suspicious. "Denki," he said, "please follow me."

I pressed call and followed him.

Mr.Aizawa led me into a side room that contained only a table with two chairs facing each other, and in the chair facing the door was a woman with dark skin and bright green hair pulled into a tight bun on top of her head.

I sat in the chair across from her, and Mr.Aizawa stood by the door. She reached across the table, and lightly touched my hand. I flinched.

She smiled, and asked, "Are you working with the League of Villains?"

My eyes widened. This wasn't a lie detector, it was a quirk. I could fake my way out of this. I struggled not to speak for a moment, but then the answer slipped out of my mouth. "Y-yes."

Mr.Aizawa let in a sharp breath, which was the biggest reaction I had ever gotten out of him.

I almost laughed.
