Thread: A Hero's Dilemma

Walking toward the classroom, Kira ShadowHeart Holten could feel the eyes of those around her focus upon her very being. She continued moving, taking no notice of the stares. They had stared when she was just guest speaking, she doubt it would change with her teaching now. A quiet murmur began, and she knew full well everyone was speaking about her, while trying not to raise her attention. Giving a slight roll of her eyes, she continued walking, letting her mind wander to what had brought her here. It had been a year since she had tried to take over the Heroes Alliance, and in that time she had been stuck in a nuthouse with all the other criminally insane villains. She had behaved herself for the time there, knew just what they were looking for when trying to reform her and stayed well in line. She had taken to speaking Stark University as her way to getting to see the outside world from time to time, and discovered she had a talent for it, so when her parole hearing had come, she offered to start teaching for free in return for her release. They had allowed it, but she was still being monitored where ever she went, for all hours of the day. While there was no one out in the open, she knew that they had at least one guy following her, keeping his position secret in case she lost it again. Kira was going to give a good show, but in her mind she had already plotted out her next attempt. The problem was she was just one person, and no matter how powerful she was, there was no way she could take on the entire league by herself. But perhaps a group of well picked out students could change the tide for her. She restrained her energy and excitement, she didn't need to provoke any mind readers to peek into her thoughts. She was well versed in mental defenses, but any inklings of villainous thoughts would send her right back to prison. Finally reaching the room designated as hers, she opened the door to find some students had already filed in. She quirked an eyebrow up but said nothing, deciding she could learn more from observation. It seemed most who had come early were mostly just over eager to stare at her. They were all freshmen, as she had requested, since they'd have the easiest minds to sway. Noting some of the looks in the mens' eyes, she thought that perhaps she could've put more thought into her outfit A tight pair of jeans that accented all of her curves, and a button up white blouse that showed quite a bit of her ample cleavage didn't scream teacher so much. But the look in her dark purple eyes gave the warning that anyone caught with wandering eyes or attention would be punished severely At 5'11, she was an intimidating sight for most guys and girls. She sat on the top of her desk and ran her hand through her midnight black hair, before picking up a pile of papers and flipping through them slowly. As the minutes ticked by more and more students filed in, but she made no move to acknowledge them, instead continuing to look through her papers. As the bell rang and the class quieted, Kira continued glancing over the papers, making no move to get off of her desk. Minutes began to tick by as an uncomfortable silence filled the room, but Kira's expression was calm, cool, and collected, as though she was waiting on something.
