Heal Our Past, Change Our Future

Chapter XXXIX

"I just want you to know, I have never been so proud of you in my entire life." Hawks laughed as he and Izuku ran through the hallways of the Hero Commission's office, the shouts of the security and the president not too far behind them.

"Don't be too proud of me just yet!" Izuku shouted, dodging and weaving out of the way of passerby and other security who was trying to grab him, though he noticed how none of them were trying to wrangle Hawks, which caused to reason that they thought he was chasing after him as well.

"Stay a bit behind me! Make it look like you're chasing me too!" Izuku ordered, readjusting his mask to make sure his face wasn't visible, lest someone recognize his face.

Hawks merely nodded as he fell behind a bit, making sure the 'chase' looked believable. Both continued weaving around people until they finally made it outside, both immediately taking it to the roof of buildings.

"Where are we headed?!" Hawks shouted, flying overhead of Izuku while the man jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

Izuku couldn't go home, without a doubt the commission was already tailing him and Hawks, but he also couldn't go to Kirishima and Bakugou, the last thing he wanted to do was rope them into all of this mess.

"Let's head back to the condo for now!" Izuku shouted, Hawks, nodded as they took off in the direction of the condo, neither halting for a moment as Izuku tried to take darker alleyways and higher roofs to avoid being spotted.

Once making it to the roof of the condo complex, both Hawks and Izuku sprinted into the building, running down the hallway to dart into the condo, slamming and locking the door behind them as they panted for breath.

"Holy shit I cannot believe I just did that." Izuku gasped, throwing his mask off and onto the couch as he paced around the living room, Hawks laughing manically as he clapped his hands.

"I know! I'm so proud! I thought I'd have to put you into some witness protection program so they wouldn't get a hold of you! But no! You tore up the contract right in front of her! I'm so proud!" Hawks laughed, while Izuku groaned loudly, falling over the back of his couch, only to land with his head a few inches away from the ground with his legs splayed over the back of the couch.

"I'm a wanted man now! This is so complicated!" Izuku groaned, untying his obi belt as he bunched up the material and threw it at Hawks.

"You know, we probably should call Kirishima and Bakugou right?" Hawks hummed, folding the material and setting it on the counter while Izuku flipped himself the rest of the way over the couch, peering over the back with an incredulous glare.

"Absolutely not. We're not dragging them into this whole mess! I shouldn't have done that!" Izuku huffed, rubbing his eyes exhaustedly as Hawks hopped over the couch to stand next to him, patting his back gently while Izuku groaned and collapsed to his knees, pressing his face into the couch cushions.

"No, you totally should have done that. They were going too far. You're in the right in all of this." Hawks reassured, kneeling next to his brother to gently passage the man's scalp where his ponytail was looser.

"I'm a wanted vigilante under orders of the Hero Commission, who I used to work for! They know just about everything about me! I'm so screwed!" Izuku shouted hysterically, looking over his shoulder at his brother desperately, the man merely patting his head as he kissed his head.

Though when a knock sounded on the door, Izuku and Hawks both looked at each other before heading to the door, the Omega grabbing his baseball bat while Hawks pulled out a feather and sharpened it to the length of his sword.

Quickly, they opened the door, raising their weapons above their head, only to falter at who they saw. "Holy mother of mercy! What in the hell are you two doing?!" Hatsume screamed as she jumped back in shock at her friends' raising weapons at her.
