Woman of the Night. (Hawks x reader)

10: That was close...

We landed nearby the alleyway and I gently placed her on the ground while hovering slightly above.

"Okay, we need to be desecrated. We have no idea what kind of situation is going on there." She started while looking around, clearly not paying attention to what was happening to me. It was the middle of the day afterwards, and this is when people are the most active.

y/n POV

I was standing on the sidewalk. My head was consumed with worry and fear for the little children. I wasn't paying attention to what was happening around me, so when I turned around I froze in disbelief.

Hawks has been pulled away from where he was standing and now was surrounded by a huge group of fans. Anger and frustration bubbled inside me and I almost lost control.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled at him while pushing the crowd around him to the sides. Hawks managed to turn his face around but not his body because he was smushed between fans.

"Hey!" Someone yelled. "That's Noch!" Someone added "The Number 5? How cool!"

'Great. This is what I need right now.'

"Can we have an autograph?"

"Are you and Hawks dating?"

"When is the announcement?"

'Unbelievable. What else was I expecting from the nut wits like this' I focused on the vermilion wings and didn't notice how one of the men in the crowd pulled on my costume and I felt my mask sliding down.

"NO!" I yelled out on instinct and covered part of my face as I felt the mask hang around my neck. I heard clicks of the camera and for the first time in my life I didn't know what to do and my eyes started to panic. My breathing accelerated and I gasped for air through my hands. The time stopped for me but before I could get myself together or do anything, something smashed into me. I felt arms wrap around me in a protected grip and a shadow fall over my eyes. I opened them and looked up, still holding my hands upon my face.

....Hawks....

He was standing there, Looking into the crowd, holding me close to him, covering me with his body, clothes and wings. Sheltering my face from the crowd with everything he got.

"Don't worry, they didn't see you." He whispered, still looking forward. "Put your mask on, and let's go save those kids." He wasn't looking at me, no matter how desperately he wanted to find out my real identity for the past 3 weeks. I exhaled, closed my eyes and put my mask back on.

I looked at Hawks and he glanced at me. I nodded and without any hesitation, his grip tightened and he flew up.

"I am so sorry, Noch" I heard him say as we landed on the roof nearby. His eyes were piercing mine as I adjusted the mask and my hair. For a second, I allowed my hair to fall onto my face and looked up at Hawks through the black hair.

'Is he blushing?' I thought. 

'Does he have his mouth open...why?' I stare at him for a second and taking in this whole information right before tying my hair. I heard him mumble something to his side as I walked to the railing of the building. He looked so guilty but I was glad that he did what he did. I took a few deep breaths to calm down.

'This is not how I want to reveal my identity to the world.'

"Hey, Hawks, look" I whispered after I crouched along the railing of the rood. The street below us was empty and rather quiet, After the crowd of fangirls had disappeared.

We jumped down and stood back to back looking around the street, making sure that there was nothing that could cause a threat. The blinking dot was only a dozen meters away but I wanted to make sure that there was nothing else.

A few meters away, I saw something lay on the ground. I slowly approached it and leaned down to pick it up.

My eyes grew wide and I could feel them starting to water.

"What you got?" I heard Hawks come behind me and I only showed him the plushie toy of him. It was dirty and a name was written on it and you could tell that it was a child's handwriting. He looked at me with lowered eyebrows and pulled me closer to his chest as I was unable to even speak.

3rd POV.

The two figures of Hawks and Noch were standing in the alleyway. The man had his hands wrapped around the girl as she held a plush. She didn't hug him back at first, as if unsure what exactly it is that he is doing. But then lowly placed one of her hands on his side and dug her face into his shoulder.

"C-can-n y-y-you p-p-please help me?" Suddenly a shadow spoke from out of the darkness of the building. The two adults disconnected in shock and worry.

The little figure of a child wobbled out of the darkness. His face was covered in dust and the light streaks which were left by tears. The eyes were puffy red and his hands had blood on it. The clothes that he was wearing were torn and slashed. He was the energetic child from the store and Noch couldn't believe it. He looked so different from the day before.

He took a few more steps and started falling. Hawks rushed to the child and his feathers caught him before the boy hit the floor. Hawks scooped the little boy and gently held him in his hands. A moment later, after the little boy looked at the man he burst out crying into the man's chest.
