"You guys really insisted on tagging along, didn't you?" Hawks chuckles, flashing his gaze up from the ticket in his hand to the duo behind him. His fast nature of doing things already proving more speedy than what Bruce and Chizo, the woman from earlier, are used to. 

"Well, yeah mate. We're here for our friends too you know, the pair of em aren't just our colleagues." Bruce mentions, trotting along with Chizo waddling behind him. "Now, don't go speeding off on us. I know you prefer to dart ahead of others." The guy mentions, hopping in front of Hawks to keep him in tow. After all, getting lost in Japan is one thing but in Australia with notorious villians and the dangerous heat of the summer nowadays are another thing all together.

This is a whole other country, a different set of rules and hows things are done in these parts.

"I can't help it you know, sometimes things can be a little too slow for me." Hawks mentions, a chuckle sending a hum thr oughout his chest as he taps Bruce's shoulder. His pace darting ahead of the individual, leaving him behind with a knitted expression plastered on his face.

"Oi mate, wait up for us!" Bruce calls out, leaving poor old Chizo to waddle with haste as she competes with trying to keep up with the both of them.

The airport around them busy enough as people bolt and weave their way throughout the area. The noise from planes landing and taking out loud and blistering even through the terminal windows, along with the searing heat making itself known as the trio step outside.

The dryness in the air and the distance smell of red dust lingering in the air clear to foreigners, new comers to the land.

Hawks shakes his head, already wiping sweat from his forehead as he stops in his steps. Meanwhile Bruce trots on ahead before realizing his actions, turning on his heel with a confused expression.

"Huh, too hot for you already Hawks?" Bruce snickers to himself, although his word quickly sink as Chizo has the same reaction as the blonde.

"Says you Bruce! You're like a kangaroo so you're used to this type of heat." She fires back, causing Hawks to chuckle at her pluckiness. This causes the tailed fellow to puff out his cheeks while sticking out his chest proudly.

"Well, I guess that's an advantage in my favor then, huh fellas? Now come on, these two aren't gonna rescue themselves now!" Bruce soon strides away from the pair, forcing them to now hurry after him instead. Their bags being wheeled right along behind them with an occasional cluck from the gravel.

"Never thought I'd be the one who need to catch up with a skippy." Hawks snickers to himself.


-Timeskip-

"Okay, since we don't have much to go on we should go on the kinds of places they would search." Hawks mentions, a finger to his comms as he soars high above the outskirts of the city. The dry air is much different to fly through, much different from the cool and pleasant breeze of Japan. "Checking their last locations could give us something else to go off of, and to why your boss needed them to come overseas so badly."

Hawks didn't quite know the full story behind why exactly the original pair were sent over here in the first place. He had heard bits and pieces but never quite getting the full pictures, only getting vague answers like both Bruce and Chizo seem to be dancing around the questions.

Something just wasn't sitting right with the two missing... either that or their boss is hiding something from the Pro Heroes working for him.

:Well, last place we know is on the outskirts near a cluster of buildings.: Chizo chimes in through the comms system, waddling down a busy street as she pokes her head around a corner. Her bright eyes scanning for any hidden clues down the street ahead of her. :They're not abandoned but people rarely come to check on them.:
