Woman of the Night. (Hawks x reader)

11: The kid

y/n POV

Hawks was hugging the little boy who was crying hysterically into his shoulder as his little hands grabbed on to the Hawks' jacket collar. I came closer to the boys and placed my gloved hand onto the little one's back for comfort. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Here you go kid" and I handed him his toy. His eyes widened and he looked at me with sparkles in his eyes.

"Y-you are the one who bought us the toys" he whispered while resting his head on Hawk's shoulder. "You came to save us..." my eyes grew so wide that I thought it was physically impossible.

'How did he know who I was. I am wearing a mask.. Oh, kid...' my heart was aching and I brought my hand up to my chest as if I wanted to clench it and hold it. The little kid fell asleep and his now relaxed body was limp in Hawk's arms.

My wide eyes met up with Hawks'. He gave me a quiet smile as we just looked into each other's eyes.

'Hawks...' i felt something flatter a little bit in my stomach, I don't know what it was but I pushed it away.

"We probably should get him out of here." I quietly said.

"Yeah, you are right. Let's go to my penthouse, I think it's the safest place there is." He said as one of his hands grabbed my waist and my feet left the ground. Very soon they reconnected to the roof. "Alright, I can't carry both of you in my hands, so you would have to get on my back." I didn't say anything and only nodded. He lowered himself a little bit as I loosened my capture weapon and wrapped it around the three of us. "What the hell?" He turned his head to me.

"Well, I'd rather you get us there in one peace, just for our safety" I smiled at him as I tightened it. I slid my hands over his shoulders and accidentally touched his wings. I could feel the slight shiver that went through them and how the wings slightly flattered "Are you okay Hawks?" I questioned as I wrapped my hands loosely around his neck.

"Ye-yeah" he stuttered and took off.

I never realized how quickly he can fly. He never really showed any real speed on our missions, but I heard some rumours about how fast Hawks actually is. If I relied on stealth and darkness and used it for my advantage than Hawks relied on speed and flexibility. Within a few minutes, we reached his Penthouse. I saw it a bunch of times on TV and how reporters would visit some of the hero's homes for some auctions and parties. I never participated in this nonsense, and they knew it, so no one bothered me.

"Here we are!" He proclaimed as he opens the balcony door, and I unwrap my capture weapon. He is still holding the kid in his hands. It's kind of cute.

"Nice place you got here," I say while taking a look around. Definitely fancier than my place, but then again, mine could look just as good if I wanted it to.

"You impressed yet?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I rolled my eyes at him.

'Pfft. What a flirt' I walked around the counter and looked into the fridge. A lot of chicken leftovers. 'Damn, he really loves his chicken, doesn't he? There are what? 4 different types of chicken dishes here' I closed it and took an apple by a reflex. As soon as I brought it to my mouth I stopped realizing I have a mask on.

'Damn, I forgot.' I look over at Hawks who was on the other side, straightening up from placing the kid onto the couch and covering him with his jacket. He gave me one of his devilishly sly smiles.

"You can take your mask off here, no need to fear me." He said as he hopped to the counter and leaned on it so that our faces were very close together.

"Yeah, keep on dreaming, feathers," I answered placing my hand into his face and walking past. "We still have a kid who needs our help." I said while getting warm water from the tap into a bowl and grabbing some towels "Do me a favour, and bring your first aid kit." He disappeared into the hallway and almost immediately reappeared with a huge box.

As I opened it, I was shocked to see how many different things he had.

"Do you never go to the hospitals?" I question while tilting my head to him.

"Nah, I usually do it myself.... Although most of the time there is a wonderful lady that helps me out." I chuckle at that.

"Yeah, no doubt," I say sarcastically as I clean the kid's wounds. He was dead asleep, but even during this period of time, he was clenching the plush toy of Hawks. 'I told you, kid, this toy would save your life.'

After I was done and Hawks prepared some food for the kid and had some leftovers himself he stood over the bed and looked at me with a weird expression.

"What now?" I question. He fished something out of the box but before showing it to me he said.

"You know what my favourite out of all these?" I look at him with the same blank expression as I stand up and make my way across the couch. He pulls me in and slides something down my arm and places it into my hand before letting go of me and what he was holding. I looked at him walked away to the door giving me a smirk. I look down at my hand and see a condom.

'Wtf is wrong with him?!' I look back at his smiling face before throwing the condom back at him and hitting him square in the nose.

"Don't worry, you wouldn't be using that any time soon," I say and smirked myself as my eyes started to glow. At first, he looked rather confused but then it hit him and my smile grew so much wider. He looked down, then at me and down again.

"That is just cruel!" He almost screamed at me. I only looked at him with a huge grin on my face, he saw it in my eyes and stormed out of the room. I laughed.
