Healing Scars (MHA fanfiction)

Chapter 6: Welcome Home

     The next morning couldn't come fast enough for the four children. The second Endeavor left they scurried around to quickly set things up. Touya and Hawks attempted to cook in the kitchen while Fuyumi ran helping Natsuo set up homemade decorations. It should have gone smoothly, but there were multiple times things didn't go so smoothly. Fuyumi faught hard to find the tap to no avail so she settled for some glitter glue and dragged out a ladder for Natsuo to use. Touya began to try and fry something, but sashed himself in grease as he froze.
     Hawks began to do a few things as Touya cried out in panic. He turned to see Touya holding a pan which was lit in a warm yellow flame. It wouldnt have been so bad if he hadn't of smelt the twinge of burning feathers. He opened his wings to see the tips sizzling, flames beginning to lick off into the air. Out of panic Hawks began to violently flap his wings, in a useless attempt to destroy the rising flames while Touya continued to scream. The half red and half white haired boy dropped the pan, waving his hands off to stop the slow burning that started to rise.
     Hawks ended up lifting off the ground and hitting the ceiling before falling back to the floor. His wings only grew brighter as the flames inched up his wings. Touya ran around throwing random stiff on Hawks to attempt to put him out. This included outlandish things like salt and flower which was out for "cooking". Hawks started to role around, still crying out in confusion. The red winged boy was now covered in flower and salt, yet his wings still continued to blaze. Complete chaos arose as the two continued to scramble for a solution.
     Fuyumi heard the sound of her brother screaming and almost went to investigate until she heard a soft gasp. Her head turned to see Natsuo slip and plum it to the floor. Her body didn't want to move at first as a sharp cry came from her. As soon as her legs allowed her she bolted to Natsuo's side. Natsuo didn't really seem bothered but simply laid on the ground as his older sister cried out dramatically for him. He rolled onto his back as he looked at her.
     Chaos continued to insue, even as the front door to the home was unlocked and opened. The first to enter was Endeavor, holding a small baby seat that held their new arrival. Rei entered close behind. Both parents froze with shock. For what they could see there were papers and banners glitter glued to the walls, Natsuo casually laying on the floor with Fuyumi crying next to him and Touya and Hawks shared screaming coming from the kitchen. The smell of burning hit their noses as they began to desperately look around for what the children had set on fire.
     As soon as Rei could tell it was coming from the kitchen she ran in. Her eyes widened as she saw Touya screaming, throwing things at Hawks, and Hawks rolling on the ground trying to put out the fire that had completely spread to his feathers. Even the pan Touya had set on fire was still burning in the corner of the kitchen. Rei quickly let her hand out, a line of ice slowly spreading to Hawks' feathers, dousing the fire. She grabbed onto the pan, tossing it into the sink and drenching it in cool water. Touya finally stopped screaming but a look of confused terror lingered on his face.
     Endeavor had somehow gotten Fuyumi to calm down after a few moments, explaining that Natsuo was fine.
     "What happened here?" He asked, looking around at the glittery mess.     
     "Well.. we wanted to suprise Shoto, momma and you. Things didn't go according to plan though.." she replied, pitifully looking downward. Enji sighed, softly shaking his head. Soon Rei entered the main room holding Hawks in her arms. He held onto her with useless tears welled in his eyes. Touya follows suit, refusing to look up at his father.
     Endeavor looked slightly surprised at Hawks' charred feathers and powder white body and looked to Rei.
     "Touya set his wings on fire.." Rei answered the silent question. Endeavor looked to Touya who continued to look downward.
     "I didn't mean to... I tried to help." He muttered softly.
     "Why is he covered in flower?" His father then asked.
     "I didn't know how to put out the fire... so I threw flower on him.." Touya muttered in reply. Enji sighed and put the youngest Todoroki in the center of the room.
     "Go get cleaned up. We have a lot of cleaning here to do. Hawks go check on your wings and makes sure theres no long term damage. Fuyumi, you and Natsuo start helping clean up. Touya, go help Hawks." Endeavor demanded.
     The four kids didn't hesitate to do what their father demanded. Natsuo and Fuyumi began to take the paper off the walls and scrub off the glitter glue. Touya led Hawks to the bathroom and quickly cleaned him off. Hawks took off his shirt and crawled in the bathtub keeping his back to  as Touya sprayed him down with water. The flower washed off with ease. The half haired boy gently began to wash off his wings, spraying each feather down carefully.
     Hawks slowly looked over his shoulder to see a guilty look plastered on the other boys face. Touya wasn't looking at his face, only at the black and red feathers. Hawks thought for a second on what to say to the boy. It was clear he felt bad, but it wasnt like the winged child was hurt. Hawks sighed before shifting his body slightly to look at Touya better.
     "Touya..? Are you ok?" He finally asked, his tone soft.
     "I should ask you that." The other boy replied coldly.
      "I'm not hurt. I mean my feathers are burned but it didn't hurt me. I'm ok and so are you! Besides my feathers grow back." Hawks explained, attempting to make the other feel better.
     "I should have been more careful. You could have been hurt bad.." Touya replied quickly, still not looking at the boy. Hawks looked down before smiling.
     "Well it's our first adventure as brothers! Touya and Hawks verses the burning pan!" Hawks giggled after his statement. The blue eyed boy couldn't help but giggle slightly at the winged boys statement. It didnt take long for Hawks to finish cleaning up and reenter the main room where the others were gathered.
