Chapter 19: Chapter Eighteen
You pulled your injured shoulder back, allowing the figure to blow past you, kicking up dust. His arm flew out trying to grasp your wrist, your body weight rested weakly on the leg Necro shattered. You could feel the ligaments crying in protest, feeling as if needles were being jammed into the veins.
Having no choice other than to use your weakened leg as a support beam, you spun away from the right hook of your assailant, fire exploded inside your leg. He recovered first, feeling his presence behind you, your muscles tensed, using your elbow you slammed it backwards, feeling the hard muscles of his torso, a faint grunt of pain escaped him as you spun around watching him stumble back.
"What the hell!?" Katsuki as well as the others from his class walked through the front doors, absorbing the scene then broke out in a run.
He was fast like you, throwing his fist wide trying to take you down with a headshot, you blocked it with your arm the sting of the blow trailed up your arm into your spine.
"What the fuck-!?" Shiro boomed, forcefully gripping his jacket and pulling. Hawks glanced over his shoulder, using the power in his wings to knock Shiro onto his back, knocking the wind from his lungs. -ah-!" Shiro coughed as Gray helped him roll onto his side.
"You alright!?" Gray breathed, glancing over to you holding your own before turning back to Shiro. "Your side good!?"
"Yeah." Shiro groaned, getting to his feet with Gray clenching his arm. "Now I'm just pissed."
"What the fuck is he doing!?"
"Don't know-" Shiro shook his head, "-but I'm gonna fry myself up a bucket of KFC."
"Hawks-!" Aizawa and All Might intervened pulling the two of you apart, never giving the group of U.A. students a chance to aid. "-knock it off!"
"Who are you!?" Hawks pointed to you, eyes glaring with a rage you knew all too well.
"You attacked her-" All Might gestured. "-how do you not know-"
"You're not Five-" Hawks shook his head ignoring All Might, cold eyes never removing themselves from you. "-you're not her-" Disbelief filled his voice, "-I know Five."
"You have a funny way of greeting friends." Shiro and Gray walked over.
"Who are you people and what have you done with Five!?"
"Well, I guess I'll go fuck myself then." Shiro crossed his arms.
"Hawks." Aizawa stepped forward, placing himself in front of you. "What is going on?"
"I just got back from a mission." Hawked answered, "I saw the news and have been trying to call Five all morning and no answer!"
"Yeah-" Gray nodded, "-they took all our shit, phones included. We wouldn't answer." Hawks turns from him to you, searching for any sign of the friend he knew. You took a step closer to him, causing Katsuki to tense. His red eyes darted to Hawks, daring him to make a move with him here this time.
"Hey Feathers." You replied, placing your hand in your jacket pocket.
"Wha-" Hawks sucked in a breath, hearing the familiar nickname you gave him sending butterflies through his stomach. "-n-no!" Hawks shook his head, "-I would have known, Five would have told me if she was being held hostage by some villain!"
"I couldn't." You shrugged.
"Everything was recorded." Shiro added, earning everyone's attention, hungry for details. "Those masks we were forced to wear, they saw and heard everything we did."
"You should have found a way to tell me!" Hawks flipped around, eyes wide looking directly at you. You furrowed your brows; this wasn't like him. Hawks and you were similar in a lot of ways, one being you didn't show emotions very well. What has made him so frazzled?
"Why?" You lazily looked up at him, "So you could be trapped alongside us?"
"I could have helped!"
"You couldn't." Gray promised.
"You don't know that!" Hawk bit.
"I know Shooter would have ordered us to take you down-" Shiro crammed his hands into his pockets. "-or any hero who found out the truth about our team."
"That's why we fought alongside you-" Gray leaned his arm on Shiro's shoulder, "-but didn't say anything."
"Wh-Why!?"
"To protect you." You answered, "It's not that hard to comprehend-" You were interrupted by Hawks pulling you into a tight hug. You groaned in pain but were ignored.
"Ah-!?" Mina gasped; "-ca-can he do that!?"
"He's like the only one she doesn't punch." Gray muttered watching you shove Hawks back causing him to laugh.
"So, what are you up to huh?" Hawks questioned oddly bouncing out of whatever slump he was in, "I heard about that fun party planned in your honor-"
"We exist to!" Shiro waved his arms.
"Yeah-Yeah-" Hawks waved.
"Feathered asshole." Shiro grumbled.
"-that sounds like fun." Hawks flashed a smile you ignored.
"We're not going." Gray filled the winged hero in.
"Hm?" Hawked looked over his shoulder. "Why not?"
"Because it's stupid?" Shiro shrugged.
"The people you have worked with all these years just found out their friends were held prisoner by what was believed to be one of the most honorable agencies." Hawks replied, "They feel a need to reach out and probably apologize for not figuring it out. I know how I felt when I discovered the news..."
"No means no." You responded by turning and walking away.
"Where you going?" Hawks wondered, flapping after you.
"We're on probation." You muttered, "Aizawa has me."
"Oh really?" Hawks blinked looking over to the lazy teacher, "How is that going?"
"He shuts up unlike you."
"Hey Aizawa-!" Hawks called over as the group joined you by the parked car. "-how about I crash at your place for a bit?"
"What?" Aizawa blinked.
"I just flew the last few hours, I'm tired let me crash on your couch!" Hawks coyly grinned.
"Ah...fine..." Aizawa sighed, knowing he wouldn't win.
"Yay!" Hawks cheered. "That way we can get reacquainted Five!" Hearing the name sent knives through the U.A. teachers and students.
"She doesn't go by Five-!" Katsuki walked about All Might, tired of hanging on the side lines. This winged bastard was not going to get time alone with you before he got to!
"Hey-!" Hawks turned to you, "-you wanna bet I can beat Aizawa to his house!?"
"What?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow.
"Wait she is hurt!" Shiro stepped forward but Hawks didn't listen, wrapping an arm around you he extended his wings lifted the two of you into the air.
"Hawks!" Aizawa called, cursing under his breath jumping into his chair.
"See you at home!" Hawk's laugh faded into the distance as he flew away.
"I'll try to get her to go tonight!" Aizawa called turning on the engine before speeding off, leaving tire tracks on the road. Katsuki blinked feeling dumbfounded about what just happened as he looked at Kirishima and Mina who were just as confused.
"Well..." Gray sucked in a breath, "...I feel secondary."
"That makes two of us." Shiro muttered, turning to All Might. "Are you gonna give us a ride or make us walk?"
"I guess we'll see her at the party." Gray stretched.
"You think she'll go?" Mina wondered.
"Nah." Gray laughed, "But Hawks will get her there."
"Why the hell would he?" Katsuki frowned, Gray smirked leaving Katsuki hanging he spun on his heel walking away. "Hey, I'm talking to you-!"
"Give me a ride-!" Gray sang to All Might as he walked to the parked car ignoring the ray of insults sprinkling off Katsuki.
