Hawks

I was minding my own business, just got off a twelve hour patrol and made it home with a hot bucket of chicken. Only to find that my house was destroyed. Most heroes would go see if the culprits were still around, but not me, nope. I plopped my feathered ass down on what remained of my couch and ate my chicken until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was in a dark room barely big enough for me to fly in. Standing was decent but my wings had to be tucked snuggly to my back, which hurt.

I sat in this room for who knows how long until this door opens and released me into some cave base thing. The place looked amazing, a whole steampunkesk town with tubes and robots and all sorts of things around. It was amazing! Then I heard a voice call my name and I answered. Next thing I know, I'm being chased by teenagers! Teenagers! One of them had a fucking rocket launcher! A rocket launcher! I'm a fucking cave! So this redhead shots the thing while I'm distracted with flying rocks and robot parts. Then I'm in a net and there's an explosion.

Shrieks of surprise and possible relief are heard from somewhere near me. After a few minutes of struggling to get out of the net, some teen with yellow hair in a black suit with yellow stripes appears and then I'm shocked. Fucking shocked! Little shit stunned me.

Then they proceeded to drag me through the cave to this room with a single chair and cuffs. Oh Hell no! I'm not getting cuffed! I send out my feathers in an attempt to get the person away from me. Only they end up calling for backup, by this point I know I'm dealing with a male teenager. I hear two sets of footsteps a few minutes later followed by my body and feathers to freeze in place.

"Seriously Icy! You couldn't have warned me!" The blond shouts at his partner.

"Boss did say I was coming. Your fault for not listening. Electro, he's still awake. You just stunned him."

"Seriously! That usually knocks others out for an hour!" With a groan the guy steps forward charging up an attack to probably render me unconscious when the door is slammed open by another teenager. Moving my eyes slightly I catch a glimpse of the newcomer dressed in a short sleeve Black suit with dark red sides, long black fingerless elbow gloves, knee high black and green boots. He has short swords strapped to his hips and a big ass Black and Toxic green bone scythe in his right hand. As he walks towards me the others back off, his metal mask shining in the light of the red tented room.

"El! Don't fucking fry him!" The Boss orders, his hair covered with the black hooded trench coat he wears.

"S-sorry Boss. He's still awake, just stunned. No idea how though." The blond stutters.

"Seriously! You had one job! No wonder his feathers fucking worked!" With a resounding bang of the Bone scythe on the stone floor the blond falls silent.

"Icy, can you grab Fire and thaw him enough to not die; yet."

"Yes, sir!" The white haired boy in a full face mask responds before leaving.

"Dark, keep an eye on them. TMP calls." With a sigh from the villain leader he leaves.

"Can I get some chicken?" I managed to get out around the paralysis and cold.

"Sorry dude! Boss says no." The blond responds from my left.

"Damn. Can I get a name?"

"I'm Electro. Boss will be in shortly to...talk. He has questions."

Think Keigo! What do I know? I'm in a villain's underground layer. Possibly a New villain group. So far I'm alive. They're mostly teenagers. The boss seems interesting, the others are either terrified or deeply respect the scythe wielder. There's at least two watching me, a set of footsteps nearing me. Probably that Fire villain the boss asked for. I have no idea if I'm still in Hosu. I know I'm in Japan since I can still understand them. Shit I'm cold!

"Where's Boss?" A deep distorted voice asks.

"With TMP."

With a huff of acknowledgment the new person steps into my view and I see red hair with a black full face mask. The teen, I believe is Fire, sets a pile of sticks near me and lights them. His flames are a beautiful orange red.

"Can't thaw you without Boss, this should keep you warm till he returns." Fire tells me, before backing into a corner presumably near the exit.

An explosion rocks the place, what feels like hours later. Those around me simply sigh and destroy or dodge the falling stones. Icy must have returned sometime during the commotion since there's now an ice wall protecting me from the ceiling.

"Tell Icy thanks for the save. Will someone tell me what the fuck that was!"

"All you need to know is that it's normal and should stop soon." Fire's deep voice responds from my right.

Not even five minutes later another explosion echoed through the cave base. This one is smaller and less damaging.

"Dammit ToyMakers! Keep the explosions down!" The angry voice of their Boss shouts over the PA system, his footsteps getting closer to me.

With several coughing fits and a plume of dust the Boss emerges from the door scythe in hand and mask in place. His suit is now covered in dust and oil and other things.

"Sorry about that hero, now where were we?"

"Chicken?"

"Oh that's right! Answers! Tell me dear Hero,care to join us?"

"Never!"

"Ugh! Come on Keigo, join us! It'll be so much fun! We can tear down the society that caged you like some animal!" The Boss giggles.

"I'd never be a villain!" I shout, attempting to hide my surprise at this villain's words.

"Seriously! Ugh! I really didn't want to do this! You will join us or I'll release your little boy toy to the media. I can see the headlines now, Pro Hero Hawks and Villain Dabi, love or betrayal?" The boss giggles again tapping his scythe on the ground in a strange pattern.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh but I would, Keigo Takami! ! I'm a villain after all! So join us or lose everything. Your choice, Free Bird." With that the villain left. The ice that once held me is now a puddle of water beneath me. Quirk suppression cuffs on my wrists and ankles all attached to the bolted chair I'm sitting on.

"Fuck! Who the fuck are you!"

"Call me Sly, Hawks. I lead The Broken. Join us. You have one hour to decide before I make good on my threat." Sly's smooth and creepy voice drifts through the room from all around me.
