Woman of the Night. (Hawks x reader)

19: Crash

Hawks' POV

We finally cleared out the rubble that was separating us and y/n with the kid.

On the other side, I saw them facing each other and y/n had her quirk activated. My heart was pounding and trying to break out of my chest. In those split seconds when I heard her yell out, I couldn't stop myself but imagine every bad situation that could ever happen to her, while I was stuck here. She saved me and now it's my turn.

Her foot was bleeding and she couldn't stand on it and yet she protected the kid... this woman is beyond envy one I have ever met, she is stronger than All Might. Standing up, even after you were rendered immobile.. to protect a kid...

"Hmm, look at that." I heard the other woman speak as she looked at them as they were nothing.

"Don't you touch them!" I yelled out but before I could even finish the sentence, the woman slammed her heavy body into the wall causing the whole building to shake.

My eyes darted to y/n and the little kid. She was in no way capable of protecting or getting herself and the kid out of there. She used her quirk up to its limit, to the point when she could only use parts of it and I saw her tremor while holding the paralyzing quirk.

'Y/n, hold on, love.' 

I thought in my head as I sent all of the feathers that I had left to her... but none of them made it.

'They all have been crushed?!' 

My eyes were getting filled with panic and fear, as I saw her empty gaze pass right through me. 

'She is operating solemnly on instinct...'

I was about to dart forward but 3 police officers stopped me. They clang onto me and I couldn't even move a muscle.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled with rage in my eyes.

"If I can't have him, no one will" the woman yelled as she stepped out of the circumference of the main fallout. 

The last thing I saw was the figure of y/n disappearing under chunks of the fallen ceiling.

The officers dragged the woman quickly out to the side and put the handcuffs on her, and she didn't even protest.

I was unable to move. I couldn't even look away. How could I? Something precious to me is gone.

"And neither will you, third hero, Hawks, have something that you so desperately wanted." I look over at the woman with rage in my eyes "You will never have that special person, I buried her in the rubble of a house!" Her laugh was blood stopping. I couldn't control myself and felt someone's strong arm across my chest, stopping me from moving forth.

Endeavour?

"Leave that woman to us." He coldly said while looking over at that psychopath that was lead out of the half-collapsed building.

I walked over to the rubble and couldn't move. My eyes were filling up with tears and all I could see in front of me was nothingness but darkness. 

Bits and pieces of the memories that I shared with her... 

They hurt... 

They ripped my heart into little pieces...

I wanted to rip it out, throw it away...

Something even heavier landed on my shoulder.

"There is still hope young Takami" 

All Might.. how can you say something like this? 

I look up at him and for the first time in a while, I saw him without a smile. "Even when acting on an instinct, young y/n is much more resourceful than most of the pro heroes. One way or another she found a way to survive this." He said and a long pause filled the air.

The rescue team had arrived and they started clearing out the rubbish. It's been almost an hour now since the incident. I couldn't do anything. I just sat there, waiting for everything to be cleared out when suddenly I felt something.

I turned around to see if someone was behind me, but no one was there.

"What's gotten into you?" Endeavour got closer to me and I shook my head.

"Nothing Must have been my imagination." I lowered my head again and he left to take in a call. Someone else sat in his place.

"What was your relationship with young y/n? I heard in the news that you were joining agencies and becoming partners."

 We...were

"I should have told her..." I whispered while looking at my hands... something struck my back again and I look up.

"What is it?"

"There it is again..." I stand up, trying to process what is it that I am feeling. It's warm but shallow.... barely noticeable but its's something...

"Are you okay? Your wings..."

Yes! My wings! They are sensing someone, I am sensing breathing!

"All Might! Hawks! We got something" we got called over to the almost cleared rubble. I sprint to them, not letting go of that calm but worrying breathing pace.

In the middle of the rubble, I saw a little kid, slowly getting up and trying to lift and push away a huge bolder. He was unharmed. Sure there was dust all over his face, but that was it.

"Hey, kid!" Someone yelled at him to get his attention.

When he saw me, he burst into tear and then turned back to the rubble. I saw him clutching onto someone's bloodied arm.

My heart stopped.

I wanted to take a step but my feet were frozen.

Y/n... no... 

I felt you a second ago... 

You can't leave me... 

I want you to be by my side.... 

I want to see you smile and laugh. You look beautiful when you smile.... 

I want to see that smirk on your eyes when you fight. It brightens the fire in me as well and every time I see you I remember why I fight... 

And your eyes... they are my favourite sight... I saw them change .... 

You can't leave me, not until you answer my question!

All Might was next to the kid and with one gentle push removed the block. I saw him lean down and pick her up. His back was facing me and I couldn't see her, but very soon he turned and she was there...

"Y/n...?" I whispered and my voice was swelled by my tears.
