Woman of the Night. (Hawks x reader)

1: Noch

The night was chilly as a figure sat on the peak of the skyscraper looking through the goggles onto the city beneath. The wind raffled her pitch-black hair, half of which was made into a messy ban, to allow for clear vision. The figure was squatting down and something was wrapped around her shoulders and waist, some sort of ribbon...

"Ugh, nothing of interest, again" she muttered under her black tight mask as she stood up, balancing on the rather small surface area.

The city beneath her was almost fully asleep, a few cars passed here and there, and lonely coffee signs were still being turned on. Her gaze wandered around as she scanned the alleyways for potential trouble but found non.

"Time to go" she muttered to herself as she jumped off the ledge and a piece of the ribbon shot to wrap around the other railing. 

'My patrol is over for tonight' Swinging onto the nearby roof, the girl looked around once more, until something caught her eye...

Something bugged her eyesight as she landed on the rooftop much lower than the one where she keeping watch on 

'Hm, what the hell is this?' something in the corner of the black alley was shivering 

'... but I don't think that was a human...' She jumped onto the adjacent rooftop and silently run across it still looking at the figure in the alley. No one seemed to be in place and that 'person' didn't move so the woman made her way further down until she was in the alleyway near the figure. And a fowl smell hit her nose as she came closer.

"Great" the woman matured to me as she lifted her hand with the inbuilt communicator. "I need police and forensics at my location." She spoke into the communicator and someone answered with the 'yes ma'am' but she didn't pay attention to that anymore as what was in front of her was way more disturbing and dare she say- 'interesting.'

She examined the body that lay before her, completely deformed and halfway rotten. Taking out one of her knives she lifted a few of the body parts to check for some clues, as well as shredded clothing but didn't find anything of particular interest. Just as she heard police sirens, something in the corner of her eyes moved and she barely avoided a blow to the head. As she regained her balance in a second, a dark figure sprang away, deeper into the alleyway and then suddenly stopping. Without hesitation Noch followed that person, sending ribbons his way and wrapping his head to toe in it. Something didn't feel right. As she walked closer, the same sceant hit her nose again and with a loud thud, a figure collapsed in front of her.

"Noch!" She heard someone yell behind her by her hero name but she ignored it. Looking down at the figure in front of her, a frown crept onto her face. 

'Something isn't right here... this is getting out of hand and needs to stop.' Noch thought to herself as she stood up.

"We got another 2" she finally said aloud turning to the figure behind her. He was a huge and full-on fire. He looked furious. "Didn't know they would send Endeavor, no2 hero here." She bluntly stated. Yeah, he is big and scary but he doesn't really intimidate her, in fact, no one does.

"This is the 10th episode of these attacks across town. I took this call personally, we need to do something about these attacks." He said, almost as coldly as Noch did. She nodded and looked down, unwrapping her capture weapon from around the corpse and then sat down next to it, examining it thoroughly before the police took over.

'I can't say I am a big fan of the people interactions, so I don't interfere with the police or the press.' Noch also works most during the night and in multiple neighbourhoods, as most other hero's patrol during the day and honestly, she prefered it that way. As the police did their work and examination, Noch and Endeavor stepped outside the alley, quietly talking.

"Noch, I understand that you are under a lot of pressure from patrolling multiple areas during the night and keeping it safe and I am forever grateful to you, no wonder you got to the top 5, but we need to get to the bottom of this," Endeavor was talking something along those lines but she was thinking about the two bodies in the alley. Something about their state was eagerly familiar to the quirk of one of the villains Noch was 'shadowing' he had a decaying quirk.

"Are you listening to me? I asked you what happened?" He finally said almost fuming at the young hero.

"I don't know," Noch said bluntly and paused then turned to the man and continued "I was done with patrol and didn't spot anything until I got to the street level. This man was already dead when I approached him" she pointed at the first man who was already being put into the bag. "The second man attacked me from behind the rubbish," she stated as coldly as before but Endeavor jolted and stepped closer to her.

"What?! He was alive?" She looked at him dead in the eyes and answered

"Yes. He attached me with this" she lifted a capsule that she grabbed from the street. It was a seringe like billet. Endeavor took it and looked at Noch with the question in his stare. "He launched this and tried to strike me with it, but I guess someone got him first when he failed."

"We need to keep this under the wraps for now." Endeavor finally said as he turned and looked into the street where the police were clearing the bodies. Noch looked at them and suddenly exclaimed louder than her usual monotone voice, which somewhat startled Endeavor.

"Wait!" And she got closer to the second body as is was moved.

"What do you see?" Endeavor looked closer at the kneeling woman. She finally stands up and turns to him, holding up a feather.

"What the hell is this?" Endeavor boomed.

"I saw the same feather attached to the other one's inner pocket, didn't think anything of it, but now..." they both stared at the feather in Noch's hand...

It was pitch black and very reflective.
