Chapter Text
Hawks, yawned as he opened his eyes, sound of birds... horses and voices.
“Huh?”
I swear I only shut my eyes for not even five minutes ago he thought. The air fresh no smoke, no sirens. He blinked his golden eyes staring up at blue clear sky, a few wispy clouds seem to cling to it. He squints from the glare of the afternoon sun. Left hand mover to shield him from it, and froze. When did I put on white gloves?his dark-almost black like it missing.
Hawks sat up fast looking around the .. town? Buildings were intact, their style wasn’t same they looked older built not with today’s metals water fountain off to the right. With a grunt he gets up off the bench and stretched, frowns his eyes widen There was no red of his wings protruding from his back no he saw is cape of white.
What the..? His whole get up was off not the same as he remembers it should be. Reached back and felt them small hidden, no prosthetics, attached their weight on his back that had same familiar feel, he just couldn’t see them due to the cape of white feathers covering them. Man really thought I was quirkless for a minute.
Hawks chuckles to himself shaking his head runs hand through his fluffy blonde hair. “Where am I? I don’t remember living in this kind of fantasy town...” He scans around everyone were dressed in some kind of fantasy getups, tunic, puff leaves, dresses of kind. He didn’t recognize anyone. His heart thumped against his. chest, he wishes for one, just one familiar face with the crowd. He started to walk the street of the town; it wasn’t too big or too small. “Akane? Endeavor? Tokoyami?” he called out then tried Mirko, Best Jeanist even All Might. Worry set in, realization he was on his own in this town, a bird like wobble set in his throat, bites in down. “Don’t cry. Don’t be upset. Maybe they’re-“
Suddenly shouting rang out down way, cutting into his thoughts as an angry voice of man bellows out. “What the?! Just who do you think you’re talkin’ to?!”
Yikes. Hawks thought as his mentality switch from worry where is mate, and the others are to hero work. Without second thought or first thought he hurried to the scene, sounded like some kind of trouble was going on, and high chance a fight could break out.
“What to go? Right here and mow!” the other man said hands spark with fiery like quirk glaring at the other guy wolflike heed. The two men were squaring up to one another People backing away from them.
“Now, now. Don’t have this kind of squabble in the middle of town.” Hawks steps between them raised his hands up as he quickly cut in to settle the agreement before a full blown fight breaks out in to of the barbershop.
“Hawks?!” The first man gasped he tall ashy blue hair, he seemed startled step back seeing Hawks.
“But this guy he-” the wolf like man started to argue his case.
“I get it! I’ll hear you out and be the judge. Just calm down.” Hawks said hoped to smooth over these two guys as on-lookers watch he catches what they are saying as he settles the two men down.
“That’s our Hawks. Quickly coming to settle a fight.” A young woman said with sleek black hair said tucks in behind her pointed ears.
“Thanks Hawks! You really solved everything.” said her male coemption next to her wide smile.
Such fan fair reminds me of times people cheered us on. They’re really aperitive of me. Hawks straight up more grins as the two men who been about to fight over something stupid as bumping into each other now shook hands grumbling. Pride warmth swirled in his chest herring the on-looks talk about him, their approval of him, the need for him. He laughs puff wings and chest laughs waves. “Well. this is nothing if I’m on the case, you can always count on me.” he promised and set off again, in hope to find someone he knew in this town, though it easier said than done. Because one thing after another as incidents happen taking his attention off his task at hand.
“Waaah!” Cry of a child maybe about five or six rang out near a store front. A small boy stood there wailing tears rolling down his face. “Mama! Where are you?!” he sobbed. Hawks dashed over to help him.
“You lost? Looking for your mama?”
“Hmp,h.” he nodded and sniffs rubbed his nose with a sleeve. “I-I want my mama.” he hiccupped.
Hawks place hand on the boy’s head smiles as he knelt down. “I’ll search from the skies. Want to fly along?”
“Okay!”
Hawks picked the boy up. He checked with few flaps of his wings before he took off into the air with him. So Fierce Wings is able to fly just not high or far figure as much... The child clutched his black coat, with wide eyes. They soared over the town together, Hawks looked the boy with a smile to reassure him.
“Tori! Sweetie where are you?!” A woman frantic call out for her child, she had same dark pinkish hair and small nubs of horns on her head.
“Sir, have you seen a boy about five, I went to get us some bread he’s gone.” she asked an elderly man who was running the fruit stand between the store and a pub.
“Sorry, my sight isn’t best, I haven’t seen young boy come by here at all matching his description.”
“Mama! Mama!”
The woman gasp and ran over as Hawks set the boy down as they landed. The boy ran over to his mother and hugged her tightly crying.
“Don’t run off like that Tori, I told you stay with me.” She scolded relived to have her son back with her.
“I’m sorry, I wanted to pet the kitty I saw.” Tori said.
“Thank you so much Hawks.” The woman bowed
“Hey no sweat madam just glad we found you.”
“Tori say thank you to Hawks.”
“Thank you, Mr. Hawks.”
Hawks chuckled and ruffled the kid’s hair. “You’re welcome.” he waved the mother and her son bye as they head off together. He smiles softly wishful look, the boy had something he never did.
CRASH
“Ugh!.. My back!”
Hawks turn towards dock where few sailors were unloading their supplies from their ship. One man was bent over holding his back as few created lay out. Hawks quickly shot over to help without being asked. Quickly he stacked the created for the man and waved over the other members of the man’s crew to help. He turned to the man.
“That looks painful. Let me take you to the doc, the rest of these guys can pick the slack for you.” Hawks offer lifting the man up.
‘Apparated.” he said to Hawks as they head for the town’s doctor.
“Hawks always solves problems in town as fast as possible.” A man said watching Hawks pass by with the sailor in toe.
“Yeah! Thank goodness he’s in our town.” A lady who was hanging up Landry next door said smiles Everyone adoring Hawks respecting him. Strangely, felt like he’s been missing that, here he was useful.
“Here you go sir.” Hawks said set the man down in a chair of the waiting room of the clinic.
“Don’t think I could have made it without your assistance.” the sailor said
“It’s really nothing.” Hawks rubs his neck and smiles “Rest assured-”
Loud bang few buildings rang out. Hawks quickly rushed out of the doctor’s office and into the street.
“S-Someone help me! Some outlaws are going wild at the bar!” A scream of woman rang out.
“No time rest huh. I’ll be right there!” Hawks ran towards the bar, loud whinny of horse as Hawks froze as a cart was coming right at him. he dodged fast as uses one of swords he had to stop the wheels caused cart jerk and stop. “That was close.” he said.
Inside the bar chaos brewing. Hawks ducked as chair thrown his way. Group of three outlaws in center of it all.
“Hey, pick on someone who can fight back!” Hawks said he draws his sword
“It’s Hawks!”
“He’ll stop them!”
The towns people cheer relived seeing their town protector, hero standing there.
The leader of trio face Hawks tossed aside a young woman his hands spark like small firecrackers as the other two turn to face Hawks. Just like the four charged at each other, Hawks swung his sword dodge as the three outlaws attack him.
He then noticed red fox ears of woman, his heart skipped. Akane? He weaved tried to get closer to see if he was right. He need to reach her. One of the outlaws lunged for the woman.
“Don’t touch her?!”
Hawks grunt as he slammed into barrel, He gets up tried to strike at the closet outlaw to him. He heard thump and thud, but he tried to look to see what caused t. Suddenly third guy created mist as he lunged for him
“Hawks!”
Familiar shout rang out just as a sharp blast of pain hit him.
Hawks slammed into the wall breath knocked from his lungs, vison blurring.
The three outlaws charge him, their forms flicker and blur along with bar, as voices called his name grow faint as one grew stronger over the rest same one who shouted his name second ago.
“Hawks!”
Who’s-?
‘Hawks! Keigo!” the voice rang louder not muffled. He squeezed his eyes shut as the one of the men attacked.
Wait. I know that voice.
“Wake up!”
