______________Getting back into the rhythm of things after your mission with Hawks wasn't that hard, with a shipping crates worth of caffeine running through your veins, that is.
You pulled off your entire shift the following day with little to no problem.
Something bothered you though, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't keep your mind off of him. Part of you wanted him to just drop in for no reason. You wanted to see him again.
A total of three days have passed since the rave mission and you've done your best to carry on with your normal routine without the winged hero.
Whenever you sleep, you hardly dream at all. If you do, it always has something to do with Hawks and the blue fire. There are times when Dabi isn't there and times when he is. You can never hear what he's saying and it ruffles your feathers each time. No pun intended.
You try to not let it get to you, Hawks is a busy man who doesn't have time to drop in for no reason, even if you wish he would for the sole reason to put your mind at ease.

Boots clad against carpet as the winged hero paces his office for the third time this week. His pointer finger and thumb pressed firmly against his lips as he tries to decide whether or not he should prevent you from going on missions with him from now on.
It doesn't make sense, you haven't given him a reason to. If he called you up here and told you that you're off field duty you'd no doubt hate him... or worse.
Hawks was having an internal war within his mind.
He knows you might do something reckless for his sake and he doesn't like the idea of it.
Even so, when ever he sees you, he feels a warmth in his gut. It's like there's a magnet inside you and he's a paper clip. He can't let you go, you're...valuable to him...not just for your quirk.
He can't stand it, he doesn't want to feel the way he feels about you. If he gets attached, a villain could use you as a bargaining chip. You'd be so much safer inside the agency where no one knows about you.
His head snaps up, towards the window. It was so faint, but he definitely heard it. A building collapsing, accompanied by screams.
_______You thank Yukiko as she hands you a coffee.
As your lips take purchase to the plastic lid, your pager goes off.
You nearly jump out of your skin and set down your coffee onto your desk. Pulling off your pager you read the message, "Recovery Mission, Papa Bird's Office"
You curse under your breath, chug your coffee and run into the storage closet across the infirmary floor. Unzipping a duffel bag, you pull out your day hero costume.
Stripping down to your underwear, you slip on the body suit and slide your knifes and taser into their holsters.
Taking a scrunchy, you tie up your hair, slip on your visor, and plop your head phones onto your ears. Checking yourself in the mirror you nod in approval and exit onto the infirmary floor.
