Under His Wing pt 2
Sunmary. Hawks takes in a teenage runaway
Hawks got you to his home around 11:15 at night and all he wanted to do was sleep, next time.. listen to the damn sidekick.. He unlocked the door and you rushed in past him heading straight to the restroom slamming the door. He rolled his heavy eyes closing the door and slumping to his kitchen taking out a big bowl and some ingredients.
The shower.Was.Amazing. After running around every night getting dirty and covered in blood it felt so good to just sit in the shower and watch it wash away. You laid your head against the shower wall inhaling deep. Never thought you would be taken in by a Pro Hero. Not to mention Bird Man of all Pros. You exhaled slowly and stood up to wash up , christ it felt good to wash your hair.
After you got out all you could smell was ramen, instantly you rushed out down the hall to see the bowl of chicken ramen with little candies next to it and Hawks waving. You sat down at the table looking at the food then him a few times.
“Its just ramen, and tomorrow im going to show you how to use your quirk, “ he yawned rubbing his head. “do you know how to call your feathers back?” He asked pointing to your back , you looked over your shoulder to see you were missing some.
“No.” You said between bites.
Hawks went to the nearest window and turned to look at you. “Think of them coming back and something you enjoy, ill show you more tomorrow.” Hawks made his way to the hall pointing to a door as he passed. “Guest room”
“Okay grandpa.” You snickered as you watched this Pro Hero try not to fall asleep with every step.
“Haha, good night little crow” He closed the door behind him finally going to bed.
“Pfft..” you looked down at the ramen, it was nearly gone . Think of something you.. enjoy huh? What do you enjoy ? Ramen, for one, you ate the last bits of it and got up dumping the bowl in the sink. A bed.. was one. You thought on it as you made your way down the hall stopping at Hawks door. Someone who .. cared? Was that something?
All your feathers flew through the window returning to you and you scoffed at them shaking your head, that cant be it, its the bed and ramen. Yup.
Once you got into the bed you crashed instantly , it was soft and warm. And better than the dirty floor you were used to.

In the morning Hawks woke up around 8 feeling so much better and well rested, his wings stretched along with him shaking from the middle all the way to the tips. “Mmmm……. what to do today.” He got up opening his door walking out going to the restroom to shower.
You woke up maybe 8:30 with a grumpy look on your face, you were sleepy and groggy. Slowly you pushed yourself up to poke around in the closet for clothes finding some tacky shirts and sweatpants, you grabbed them going to the restroom opening the door, your wings were shaking but you ignored it and opened the curtain to see Hawks.
“....”
“.....”
“AAAAH!!!!!” You covered your eyes and all your feathers fell out
“I FORGOT YOU WERE HERE!!!! “ Hawks said covering himself
“DAMMIT AAAUGHHH” you cried
“GET OUT GET OUT!!!!!”
“AAAUGHH!!!!” You stumbled over your feathers slamming the door behind you running to the couch panting. “FUCK!!!!!” You fell to your side whining and kicking your feet.
Hawks leaned into the wall rubbing his face. “Fucking hell, thats right, im housing a runaway.. i should have Tokoyami look up her description some time today…”
After Hawks had gotten washed up and sprinted to his room to get dressed he went back to the restroom to gather up your feathers and go to you to see you curled up on the couch arms folded and pouting.
“I might have.. forgot you were-“
“OBVIOUSLY!!!!” You sat up crossing your arms again. “Some Pro you are .”
Hawks let that one go and held his hands out. “These are yours, let me show you how to make a sword”
“A..sword?” You got up taking them back, they flew behind you except for one.
“Yes, you can do more than just fly” he brought a feather to his front and it instantly got sleek and sharp in his grasp.
“Holy fuck” you watched closely , eyes wide.
“So what i do is .. i usually focus my emotions on the feather, i put my strength into it , my will to win, to help”
“So..” you looked down at the feather in your palm thinking, you didn't want to help anyone ,just yourself. You wanted to survive- “OW!!” You dropped the feather sword and Hawks grabbed your wrist looking at the blood rushing out..
“Dont panic, it happens to me sometimes.”
“Fix it..”
He looked up at you to see your face wet and your hair sticking to your cheeks. “I don't like blood old man..”
“Okay okay.” He brought you to the kitchen grabbing the first aid from the cabinet, giving you a cloth for the time being.
It hurt, and the cloth stung, you could feel the blood pooling under it squishing around trying to escape. Your wrist was shaking and Hawks was rushing to get everything out if the kit, he dumped it over and took the bloody cloth away putting it in the sink and pulled you over to it turning on the water.
“Oowe!!!”
“I know it hurt.”
“IT FUCKIN DOES”
He looked at you and your wings shook, his eyes were very serious and not tired. “Calm down . So i can fix this properly.”
“..ok..” you took in a deep breath.
Hawks washed your palm up and dried it once the bleeding stopped, he wrapped it up three times tying it in a bow. “There.” He said letting go of your hand.“That was my fault, I should have warned you. Im sorry y/n”
“Whatever.. what else can i do..” you asked looming at the bow and making grabbing motions with your hand even though it hurt.
“Well…” he pointed to the mess he made and a few feathers cleaned it up, he then pointed to the cabinet and the feathers brought the kit to it closing the cabinet. “That”
You were wide eyed and all Hawks did was chuckle.

Hawks spent some time showing you how to use your quirk for something other than stealing , it turns out it was really useful in other ways. The feather sword was still on the floor and Hawks didn't try to make you pick it up again, when you were ready to pick it up you could. You learned a few things about Hawks too, the Hero Commission , his training. It was rare to find a quirk like his. He had asked you about your parents but you refused to talk about them or your childhood. He dropped the subject right there and told you how relieved he was that you agreed to come with him. “I feel like a babysitter who has no idea what to do but im happy your here, jail is no place for you”
You rolled your eyes going over to the window pointing at the curtain, your feather moved it and you jumped slightly, amazed.
“Ah good job, you catch on fast.” He said walking over to you. “Do i have to give you a curfew?” He teased down at you.
“Oh barf.” You opened the window stepping onto it and Hawks reached over grabbing your wrist.
“Come home whenever, just please stay out of trouble.”
Your heart did a back flip. “.. home?”
“Huh?” He tilted his head.
“Nothing old man!” You shook him off jumping out the window flying off, wiping your eyes.
Hawks sighed heavily as he we t to the couch to relax, the weight on his mind and body being taken over by the relaxation in his muscles. He pulled his phone out dialing his friend.
“Tokoyamii…”
“Are you calling to tell me you regret staying out.”
“Well actually….”
One long explanation later
“.. really? And she went with you?”
“Yep, can you run a background check, and make sure no one tries to arrest her..”
“Fine.”
“Thank you Yami.”
“... shes a actual runaway?”
“Said so herself.”
“Interesting..” he hung up and Hawks leaned back into the couch rubbing his face. Meanwhile you were sitting on a roof looking at the bow on your bandage.
