Aizawa's POV
I was grading papers if you could even call it that at this point. Really I was just reading them and marking them each with 100 before moving on again. The girls still haven't come home yet and they have been gone since Thursday. Nezu tells me that they are fine but that didn't keep me from worrying. Then Vlad King marched into my classroom again.
"Last I checked this is my classroom not yours," I let out a sigh before taking a drink of my coffee, my eyes never leaving the test in front of me.
"Right because all of your students are such scholars you can do your work in the classroom while all the other teachers including myself can't. You should really share your teaching methods with us," his tone was dry and unamused.
I simply ignored him, opting to finish with the stack of papers in front of me. To his credit he did wait for me to finish another three before getting angry watching me write 100 on each of them. He grabbed the next one cursing that I was just giving my students a free pass because how could they all actually be getting perfect scores? He frowned, grabbing another and another.
I simply took them as he finished marking them each with a 100 then he grabbed the completed ones and read over them while I put them all into the computer. I set Momo's Iida's and Todoroki's to the side, dumping the rest into the waste bin. Before pulling out the assignments that were due this morning going through the same procedure as before. I didn't say anything, only handed him a bright red pen before continuing my task.
We finished quickly and this time after recording their grades I dumped all of the assignments into the trash. I stood up still ignoring the very defeated man sitting in front of my desk and stretched cleaning up before grabbing him by the arm and nudging him towards the door locking up behind me as I closed it.
Hizashi saw me at the door surprised but happy to see me done for the day. "Shota, when do you think the girls will be coming back?" He glanced nervously at Vlad King before looking at me with worry filled eyes.
"I don't know, my understanding was that the mission they went on shouldn't have taken this long. They must have run into trouble but we have to believe in them." I don't know if I'm trying to convince myself or him at the moment.
"That's right I heard you had a niece move in with you recently how has that been?" Vlad asked, I guess on some level he is trying to be friendly again but I just can't have it.
"..." I glared at him before turning back to Hisashi. "Come on, you know how hungry they'll be when they go on these long missions. I swear the only times they ate last week were when we made them," I smiled at him and my blond husband happily started talking about different recipes that he had been dying to try but couldn't because I was such a picky eater as it was.
We made our way to the teachers room and I helped Hizashi clean up before we left all the while listening to him ramble about whether to make chili or spaghetti for dinner tonight and which variation the girls would probably like more.
"Those girls must be really something for you two to spoil them so much?" Vlad King tried to interrupt again. I let out a groan but otherwise ignore that he is there at all.
"Eraserhead, I'm sorry. I was a fool and I was angry that you're able to connect with your students so well." I froze at his words but I still didn't look at him.
"For years you have always just expelled student after student losing your entire class before half the year was gone and then the one time you don't..." He seemed to struggle as if he couldn't figure out the right way to say what he needed to say next. "It's almost like each of them are your family now, like they somehow aren't just your students anymore. That's so rare for a teacher to find with one student but you have a whole class." At this point I look up at the man talking to me.
"Two of them died, because I didn't know they were being victimized, literally tortured. Can you really say that is lucky? They drove my class to be their very best, to be real heroes not just movie stars. They are gone but even as we mourn them we cherish their memory, you mocked us for that. You expect me to believe it was because you were jealous? You were jealous that I lost two boys who even while making my life utterly chaotic and a mess made me remember why I wanted to be a hero in the first place? Vlad King, I care for my students, yes, but I respect them more." I turned away and Hizashi and I left the room. Why do I feel so defeated?

Tuesday morning came and class began. The video was playing just like any other day but as of last Friday they spent it reading over notebook after notebook of information about the League of Villains.
'Girls please be okay.' I silently pray to whatever deity would hear me. I hear Midoriya on the video telling Bakugo that it was time. My heart lurched as I watched the scene unfold yet again ending at the explosion after the camera was knocked down. 'Where is the Love' is still playing in the background. Girls please be okay.
We go through our classes like nothing else happened. They trained as if today was their only day. I walked into gym Gamma and we all ignored class 3B opting to just use the obstacle course instead. I could see class B watching from the corner of my eye but none of us acknowledged them. My students were able to complete the course in roughly half the time class B had. After each student was done they went to a free area to the side to spar or compare results giving each other recommendations on how to do better and be better.
Vlad King saw two of my students Kirishima and Kaminari sparring using their quirks and I grabbed him using my capture scarf preventing him from going near them.
"You will leave my students alone. They know what they are and are not allowed to do," I hissed at him my quirk in full effect as I did.
"They are not allowed to fight without permission," He tried to wiggle free but failed.
"They are doing what they were assigned to do in class. Each student knows what they can and cannot do and when to do it. They HAVE my permission." I released him, dumping him on the ground in front of his own students and away from mine.
My students saw the exchange and quickly paired off to spar while they waited their turns so that half were fighting, half were discussing fighting techniques and one was running the course. If Vlad thought he was ruining our hero training then he was sorely mistaken. When everyone was done with the course I gave a brief lecture on how to fix the few common mistakes that most of them made before having them go and change and return to the classroom again.
Hizashi was waiting and when everyone was seated he started teaching English all my students, paying close attention as he did. I was starting tomorrow's lesson plan when my classroom door opened, I looked up and froze when I saw Molly and Brenda enter limping slightly. Hizashi stopped talking at some point and the room was silent. They closed the door behind them and just made their way to my sleeping bag, Brenda was limping so heavily that there wasn't a soul that could have missed it.
They took off their heels and slipped into my sleeping bag Brenda hissing in pain as they did. Once they were safely zipped up in the bag again they both let out a sigh that made my heart melt. They are back. They seem worn out and sore but they are back and in one piece. What more could I ask?
Class went on and everyone seemed to be excited that they were finally back. The lesson went on and before any time at all actually passed it was time for lunch. Hizashi and All Might came running in with a couple carts full of food. While everyone in class simply pulled out their own lunches and inhaled it. I crouched beside them and shook one of their shoulders.
"Hey it's time to eat," I whispered and I could hear their stomachs protesting at the mention of food.
"Uncle Shota?" Brenda turned facing me, giving me a slight grin when she cracked her eyes open. I nod hoping that she was agreeing to get up but she managed to grab my arm and pulled me down instead. "Dadizawa," she yawned and buried her face into my chest.
I can't help freezing up at the name and the fact the entire class heard it. Then I heard a yelp and looked behind me to see All Might trapped in Molly's arms and I could hear her mumbling how much she missed him.
I let out a sigh before untangling myself and helping All Might up as well, leaving Molly and Brenda to cuddle each other. I motion to Hizashi to secure the door and he does, hitting the button to seal the room again.
"Midoriya and Bakugo get the hell out of bed right now! You have had me worried sick you were gone for almost five days where have you been?" I bellowed, making them both jump up at their actual names being used.
"For fucks sake where do you think we have been? We've been fucking working. You heard Nezu give us our next target. He wasn't easy to corner and he was actually much harder to get information out of then several in the past." Bakugo/Brenda barked back at me.
"Plus we had to keep our cover and they decided they wanted to test us so we had to make sure everything was clear before coming back," Midoriya/Molly yawned before grabbing the currently seething Bakugo and pulling him back down to sleep.
"How did you get the information?" Surely they didn't just tell my students what they needed to know but that only leaves...
"We tortured their sorry asses, how else were we supposed to get the information we needed?" Bakugo was quickly falling asleep again fighting to keep his eyes open even now.
"Why are you so tired?" It's already lunch time and they should be up by now. Not that I'm one to talk.
"How well would you sleep after fucking Toga breaks into your room in the middle of the fucking night? She could break our cover without even knowing it," Bakugo/Brenda asked before finally losing the fight with sleep and passing out in Midoriya's/Molly's arms.
"Toga seems to have an unhealthy fascination with our covers. At first she was all disgusted with us because we are gay but when she barged into our room finding us making out it was like she was hooked." Midoriya yawned again. "If I thought she was crazy before that was nothing." He snuggled back into Bakugo's arms.
"Just give us an hour please? Torture isn't easy with our cover being the way it is."
"What do you mean by that?" I blinked and both boys were out cold. My students had listened closely to everything and at the mention of Toga several of their eyes widened. I can't blame them, these two working deep undercover near a villain who had an obsession with Midoriya up until his suicide that really wasn't that long ago. And now she seems to have a new obsession with both of their covers? Can she smell him? Or what?
