AN: I know, I know, I should be working on the other one.

But I'm kinda stuck on what I want the next chapter to be about. I know what it should be about, but it's the whole putting everything into words that I'm stuck on.

So instead of working on that one, I figured I would get the second one started.

Please enjoy!


Law and Ethics

"Welcome back everyone! A new year has arrived, and before we get started on today's meeting, I would like to introduce our two new additions to the staff!" Principal Nezu stated, standing in his chair and waving one of his paws towards the door. A soft knock sounded in the quiet room, before the door was opened and in walked a skeletal looking man with blond hair and sunken blue eyes. He gave a little wave as he approached his seat. He wore a bright yellow pin stripe suit, white button down, and dark blue tie. All of which looked to be three sizes too big on him. The baggy suit on him just made his gaunt features even more exaggerated, painting this picture of a sickly man still clinging onto the brightness of light. He pulled his seat out, and waited to sit down. He glanced towards the door, just as a second knock sounded. It was louder, confident. The door opened quickly, and was nudged to shut behind the newest occupant, who's very appearance caught everyone by surprise.

Moving to stand by the empty seat, was a young woman dressed in a three piece navy pinstripe suit that looked like it belonged in the closet of a movie star. She wore a white button down with a gold tie, silver tie tab glinting in the light. In her breast pocket was a gold handcloth, same shade as her tie. If anyone were to glance down, they would catch a glimpse of the white, six-inch heels she wore, despite looking like she wasn't much taller than 5'5''. Moving their gazes up from what she wore, they quickly took her in before they could be caught staring. She had long black hair that was thrown up into a high ponytail and slicked back, not a strand out of place. Her eyes were a glowing amethyst, rimmed in gold eyeliner. Her lips were colored a dark shade of muave, accentuating her white smile that seemed a bit sharper than normal.

She looked like she belonged in either the Stock Exchange, or in a movie, not at a prestigious high school teaching hopeful students with dreams of being heroes.

"Ah, right on time as always you two." Nezu broke the silence that had fallen over the faculty. Both arrivals nodded, and sat down. The man propped his elbows on the table, while the woman leaned back in her chair and crossed her left leg over her right. "Everyone, please meet All Might and Valkyrie Cain."

"Pleasure to meet you," Valkyrie greeted, tipping her head in the general dirction of the other teachers. They nodded back, though some were curious about who she was.

"Nice to meet ya! I'm Present Mic! I teach English for General Studies!" A man who resembled a cockatoo yelled out. Valkyrie nodded towards him, a polite smile in place. Her eyes roved over all of the teachers, all of them wearing their hero costumes. She noticed that the only ones not wearing their costumes were her and All Might, though judging by his suit, she would take a shot and say that he would transform into his other form whenever students were in.

She was just happy to know that she had a friend amongst the group, even if he was also new to teaching as well.

"Hello everyone, I'll be helping teach classes 1-A and 1-B in the heroics department, I would appreciate any advice that would better help me." All Might stood up and bowed towards them, displaying his typical manners. Valkyrie felt all eyes shift to her, waiting for her to tell them all what she would be teaching. She leaned forward, her polite little smile stretching into a wicked grin.

"I'll be teaching International Law, Human Rights, and International Ethics to all the first years. And if I see anyone with the right grit, they'll be invited to join the Mock Trial Debate team I'll be heading." She narrowed her eyes as she assessed everyone, wondering if anyone would pick up the bait.

"Tch, don't you think the added course work of studying the law would only add more stress to the students in the hero department?" A man across from her asked. She glanced at him from the side, noting his shaggy black hair, shabby black clothes, and bandages. She shot him a sharp grin.

She loved it when people challenged her.

"The only difference between a hero and a villain is what side of the law they're on. All students need to know that difference, unless you want them to be set up for failure, do you?" She challenged back; he didn't answer back, only glared daggers at her. She smiled right back, canines glinting in the light.


Valkyrie sat at her desk in the teachers area, leaning back in her chair while she went over her notes for the first lesson. She made sure to keep things simple for this week, no need to terrify her students with the complexities of the law. Her suit jacket was unbuttoned, showing off her vest. A thin silver chain was clipped to one side of the vest, trailing back to a small pocket on the other side.

"Did you have to challenge him like that?" A deep voice asked behind her, pulling her away from her notes. She leaned her head back to glance up, a small smile as she saw who it was. All Might was staring down at her, a look of disapproval in his eyes.

"He started it." She said, laughing a little when he rolled his eyes at her. He poked her in between the eyes, sighing as her laughter bubbled over into soft giggles. He smiled at her, happy to see her again.

"It's good to see you again, Val."

"Same here, Toshi."

"I'm surprised you took this job, last I heard, you were advising the UN on a war crimes case." Toshinori said, catching the attention of the other teachers in the room. Valkyrie nodded, waving her hand in a dismissive way.

"The defendant was found dead in his home the night before the trial, possibly an assassination, possibly a suicide. The details are murky at best. I left after everything stalled and they couldn't decide if they wanted to continue or not. I figured I would take a break and teach the next generation of heroes on the law and whatnot. What about you, Mr. Number One?" She asked, closing her notes and turning around so she could face him, and so he could take a seat. Which he did, gratefully.

"Same as you, I wanted to teach the next generation." Valkyrie nodded, noting the tesion in his shoulders and how his eyes had shifted to the side. She narrowed her eyes; he was lying to her. She wanted to scoff at him, he knew better than to lie to her! She was a lawyer for fuck's sake. He glanced up at her and saw the critical look in her eyes, sweat dropping at her narrowed eyes. She had caught his lie, and he knew that the minute they were alone, she was going to interrogate him, and he was not looking forward to that.

"Hmm, are you sure you can handle this on top of being a Pro Hero?" Valkyrie asked, letting the subject drop, for now.

As Toshinori started talking about how he would continue his duties while being a full time teacher, Valkyrie made a cursory glance around the room, noting how the other teachers were listening in (for all being Pros, they all sucked at being subtle), but keeping their distance.

She missed how one in the back was keeping a careful eye on her, despite looking like a sleeping caterpillar.


"Good Afternoon 1-A, I am Valkyrie Cain, and I will be your instructor for International Law, Human Rights, and International Ethics. Now, before we being, does anyone have any questions?" Valkyrie turned around after she finished writing her name and course on the board. The class just stared at her, unsure of how to process the way she had swept into the classroom like a hurricane.

Everything about her was intimidating; from the way she was dressed, the way she spoke, and the way she held herself. She looked like the complete opposite of their home room teacher, Mr. Aizawa.

"What's your quirk?"

"Are you a Pro Hero?"

"Are you American?"

Valkyrie blinked as the students all asked their questions at once, excitement bubbling in them. She could hear the whispered wonderings from a few of them, while others were just shouting out what they thought. She chuckled and snapped her fingers, bringing the class to silence as she stood in front of the podium.

"Curious little things, aren't you?" She asked, laughing as a few of them began to look embarrassed at how they had acted. She sighed and smiled at them, hiding all her sharp edges. "Yes, I am American, yes I am a Pro Hero, and I actually have two quirks that I inherited from both my parents." She answered, already knowing that her last answer would just bring up more questions.

"What are they?"

"Two?!"

"What's your name?"

"My, my, my, you are quite curious to know!" She laughed at how determined they were. She eyed one student pulling out a notebook and was ready to write everything she said down. She grinned at that; he was a hero fan boy, how adorable.

"Can we see?"

"My quirks are called Dark Mapulation and Gifted Touch. If we have time after the lesson, I'll show you one of them, as the other one is too dangerous and is considered my 'last resort', due to it's nature. As for my hero name, I go by Valkyrie, which if any of you are familar with Norse mythology, it means "chooser of the slain"-"

"You, you're a "last resort" hero." She cut herself off the minute those words left the student's mouth. He was staring at his notebook, his eyes wide. She saw the slight shaking in his hand as he slowly lifted his head to look at her. She sighed and nodded, just as the others started to wonder what that meant.

"Yes, I'm a last resort hero." She stated.

"What does that mean?" A student with spiky red hair asked.

"Last resort heroes are the ones that deal with terrorists, serial killers, mass murderers, and any crimes that are too dark and gruesome for other heroes. We are the ones that remove those people from society. Due to the rarity of these kinds of villains, heroes like me are rarely ever called into action."

"Whoa, that's pretty amazing." Spiky red said, breaking the tension in the classroom. Valkyrie grinned at him and nodded.

"Heroes like me generally hold jobs similar to mine, i.e. international lawyers, diplomats, etc. We help alongside other heroes when they need us, but usually we deal with our normal jobs and making sure that humanity is safe."

"Wow, sensei you're so cool!"

"That's awesome!"

Valkyrie smiled at the students, laughing at how quickly they accepted her classification. She knew heroes that were quick to judge her based on that alone. She quickly reigned them back in, promising to show them one of her quirks after the lesson. As they all got settled, she turned back to the board and began to write down the lesson she had for them.


Valkyrie sat at her desk and went over her notes from the day, making sure she hadn't missed anything. Overall, her first day went well, the students were eager to learn, especially the ones in 1-C. She smiled to herself, wondering if everyday was going to be like this one.

While she worked and wrote down notes, adjusting her lessons for the week to keep the course work easy, All Might glanced at her and smiled.

She hasn't changed since the first time I saw her. The only difference seems to be her wardrobe, and even that hasn't changed much. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was an hour after the students had left, then glanced back at her. She didn't seem to slowing down in her work, despite it being the first day. He chuckled to himself, shaking his head as she kept scribbling away. He could hear her mutter something under her breath every couple of minutes, something about the complexities of quirk laws and how the laws differed in each country. He watched her for a few more minutes, noting how she would bite her bottom lip as she wrote, before moving on to the next lesson and doing it all over again.

It wasn't until another hour had passed before he pushed back from his desk and stretched, wincing when he felt his neck pop and rubbing the area to ease the pain. He glanced at Valkyrie, and nearly jumped when he saw her facing him with her arms crossed and frowning at him.

Ah shit, he forgot about the lie from earlier.

She stood up and pointed her finger at him, mouth opening to scold him-

He grabbed her hand and yanked on it, pulling her down into his lap while transforming at the same time. She let out a little yelp and glared daggers at him, ready to lay into him for grabbing her like that. But he beat her to the punch by running out the room (he had also made sure to grab all of their things beforehand) and out of the building.

"Toshi!" Valkyrie yelled at him, holding onto him as he raced towards the city, before leaping into the air and landing on the roof of a nearby building. She smacked his chest, letting him know she wanted to be put down, but he only laughed and asked for directions to her home. She grumbled and pointed him in the right direction, which led them towards the upper class area of the city with all the pent houses and high rises.

When they were about a block away, she yelled at him to land on her balcony so no one would see him. He nodded and adjusted her before leaping up. When they landed, he finally set her down so she could open the door and let them inside.

The minute he walked in, something leapt out of the shadows and pounced, knocking him on his ass from the sheer velocity. He wheezed and stared up at the attacker, only to come face to face with a giant cat staring at him.


AN: Okay, so there's chapter one, hope you like it and what not. Please let me know what your thoughts are in a review!

Side note, I based Valkyrie's style off of Blake Lively's character Emily from the movie A Simple Favor, and I based her job off of Amal Clooney's job.

I don't have a solid pairing yet for this story, I'm kinda stuck between Aizawa, All Might, and Dabi. If you guys want to see one more than the others, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
