Woman of the Night. (Hawks x reader)

8: Plush toys

Y/n POV

So for the next 3 days, I was primarily doing patrolling.

Dabi was out of town, thank god for that. Shigaraki was having a mental breakdown and the warp dude was comforting him. I came by in the first day, right after I woke up, to make sure that I wasn't needed, and after hearing his moaning and just seeing him to be generally depressed, and after I had a few glasses of rum, I left with a sense of some kind of freedom for a few days.

"Hello" I answer the phone as I walk down the streets to the mall, to get myself some comfort food and look at the sleeping bags.

"OMG Y/N!" I heard a rather cheerful voice and made a tired expression, Joke, "Why didn't you tell me that Aizawa was in the hospital?" she almost screamed into my ear.

"Hey Joke," I answered, "I thought you saw it on the news" I answered in a monotone voice,

"I was out of town. How is he? Did he talk about me?" I heard slight laughter at the last question and I cracked a slight smile myself.

"He is alright Joke, no need to worry. The doctors said he will live."

"Okay" she paused and that worried me a little.

"Hey Joke, are you okay?" I asked.

"y/n I was really worried about him. Please tell him that, okay?" this was weird, very weird to the point that I stopped in the middle of the road.

"Yes, I will tell him that."

"Good! I'll see you later!" her cheerful self returned and we hanged up.

'What the hell was that?' I thought as I stood in front of a coffee shop. 'God, I never understood people.' and I walked into the store.

~time skip past a week~

It's been a hell of a week. Teaching 1 A was an adventure of its own. They all seemed to be very capable students and the fact that they survived a villains attack made them even more interesting. The other classes were spying on them, especially because rumours of the Sports Festival were going around the school. The teachers were concerned and took their time to thoroughly think about it. 

I was known to the teachers as the 5th hero, so they asked me a lot of questions and wanted my opinion on things. All Might was there too and was acting very weird, and later on, I discovered why. He was heartbroken when I walked into the teacher's room and he was there in his fragile form. For some reason, he thought that I would be disappointed but there was nothing of sorts on my mind.

"I don't care if you are like this." I said as I walked closer to him "As long as you are alive and able to fight, bring hope to the people and inspire them to be better." He looked at me very confused and almost with tears in his eyes. "And I, along with all other heroes will be behind you, supporting you in any way we can"

During the whole week, I kept seeing Hawks in the school. The teachers have said that it's for the safety of the children, so I didn't protest, but I got to know him a little better, which was fun.

Finally, the week of teaching was over and I could breath out and return to my hero work. For most of that week, my intern was doing the patrols for me. He was very capable and was ready to become a pro hero and start his own agency. I was with him until midnight, to make sure that he was in proper condition to keep up the work and then I would leave. 

Weirdly enough, Hawks joined the night patrols as well, only 2-3 times, but I was surprised.

While my intern was patrolling at night, I was focusing on teaching and being a villain' so that I keep up with my cover, it was working out very well actually, the higher ranks, such as myself and Dabi were allowed to do whatever we wanted, so that was great, oh and sleeping during the night was great too.

Speaking of Dabi, he was extremely handsy, but it was fun to tease him. He is also extremely suspicious... A couple of times it got a bit too much out of hand, but he is constantly running around, killing people in different places, so I don't have to 'babysit' him.

It was Saturday and I finally got enough 'villain work' done to last me a few days, so I can focus on patrols. The league was not planning anything major and was looking for recruits, and taking their sweet time.

I got my coffee and was standing in a big mall looking at random things. Unlike my brother, I actually had hobbies. They were strange but I liked them. I liked sketching and just generally doodling ideas or things that would inspire me during my patrols. And Polaroids. But the biggest obsession of mine were minerals. I thought they were fascinating and beautiful, so I had an extensive collection of them. And now I was looking at the wonderfully illustrated book about them.

"Hey, mom! Can we get these!" I snapped out of my thoughts by a child that was yelling nearby. I turn my head to see what was happening and it was worth it.

There were 2 boys that were standing in front of the flush toy isle, they must have been like 5 if not younger. They were filled with the plushies of the superheroes and me or rather Noch was one of them. the boys looked identical, but one was full of energy and was jumping around, while the other one was quiet and he was looking up at the ones that hang away from his reach. He also had black wings....

'Black wings...' I thought to myself and walked closer to the kid who looked at me a little bit scared, and I don't blame him. He turned his head from me to the shelf where the toys were and pointed at one as if asking me to reach it for him.

I looked over at the shelf and saw Hawks' plushies. 'Of course, he would want to have a winged plushie' I thought with a smile as I reached out but the boy tugged on my overcoat and shook his head and pointed again. 

I carefully traced his figure and smiled reaching for my plushie.

He hugged it so tightly as if it was something that he wanted all his life.

"Hey!" I heard a harsh voice shout at me and I transferred my tired eyes to the source. It was a woman that was dragging a crying child behind her. It was an energetic one. I frowned. "What is it that you think you are doing?!" She came at me, her chest body was almost touching mine. She was heavyset and wasn't very high, at least lengthwise, because she definitely wasn't in the right mindset as alcohol could have been smelt all around her. So I towered over her and answered.

"The kid wants a toy, so I gave it to him" I bluntly answered. The woman stared at me, trying to intimidate me but it didn't work.

"Put them back," she jerked the two toys out of their hands and threw them on the ground "We have no money to buy the stupid, useless things." And she was about to turn around. I looked at both of the boys. One of them was on the verge of crying, but the other one, with the wings, completely broke my heart.

"I'll pay for them," I said as I stopped the woman she turned around and started yelling at me. I had enough of that and with one look, her tongue fell paralyzed in her mouth as she stared at me in shock and at my glowing eyes.

"I've had enough of you screaming for no reason." I coldly said to her as I turned and then knelt down to face both the boys.

"I can see you guys are big fans. Here" and I gave them the two toys back. "You got good taste," I said as I fluffed their hair. The energetic one was looking at the plushie of Hawks with stars in his eyes and the quite one looked at the plushie of me with a slight smile on his face.

"Thank you" the energetic one hugged me and then continued to look at his toy.

"Never let go of them, they are very special and will protect you when you are scared." I smiled.

"They will come and save us one day." I heard the other one whisper as he hugged the plush toy. I was speechless.

"Hey Kid," I started as I looked at him but before I had even a chance to finish the sentence, he was pulled away by the enormous woman. I stood up and followed them with my glowing eyes, trying to conceal my anger and worry.

The truth was, as I picked the two toys up, I slipped a micro tracker into each of them. I made that decision after I saw the hands of the boys, they were cut and bruised.

'Don't worry, we will come and save you. Just hold on.'
