Fallen Feathers and Ashen Dreams

Birdie

I was following the man that Dabi had let go for me to hunt. Sometimes I really do believe he does care but just doesn't want to show it. Haha he's such a tsundere~ Suddenly i smelt this very familiar and sweet smell. Now what is that, oh no. I turned a corner and didn't see anything until I saw a single red feather lying in front of a dumpster. 

I hurried to look behind the dumpster and found our little bird, covered in blood. I called Shiggy and a second later I heard him walk out a portal behind me. Kurogiri hurried to put a portal next to Hawks so we could move him to the base easier. 

When we arrived everyone was all over the place. Twice and Spinner were gathering gauze and anything else we might need, Magne was trying to calm Shiggy and Dabi down and Compress was tending to Hawks. The second Compress turned Hawks on his stomach to see his back, it was like the whole league stopped breathing for a second. 

His feathers had been plucked out one by one and the part that connected it to his actual back had messy stitches as if they had ripped his wings off and he had tried to stitch them back on. If that wasn't bad enough they had also mangled his hand to the point of there being a possibility of him not using them again and his body was littered in cuts and bruises. 

He wouldn't have survived if I hadn't found him, they left him to die.

Dabi's pov:

Oh birdie, what have they done to you? I didn't even think you were in need of help, it has only been 2 days since i saw you last. They couldn't have done this in 2 days, right? 

I walked over to Compress and started helping him heal and bandage Hawks up as much as I could. The second we touched his wings Hawks startled up "Ah! No, please, I'm sorry- I won't do it again. I'm sorry, no!" 

"Birdie, birdie you're alright, listen to me. We'll try not to hurt you too much but you have to lie down. Fine, Twice." I watched as Twice walked up to us and sedated him so we could fix him up.

~ Timeskip ~

I sat next to his bed and held his hand waiting for him to wake up. "Da-dabs, what? What happened?" I send a quick text to the group chat telling them he's awake "Hey birdie, how are you feeling? What happened to you?"

"I feel like I put cotton in my brain and hid it on the curb for an hour straight. And the commission happened. They didn't appreciate my last report and decided I needed a check up. I ran the second they left me alone to recuperate." 

I nodded, showing him I heard him "You're not going back, you're ours now. You know that right?" He said yes and tugged me on the bed. "Good, because I don't think I would be able to let you go." 

A/N: Hey, little shadows. Sorry it's been so long but school had me really busy and i really didn't want to do anything other than sleep. Also this isn't proofread so if you see any mistakes, no you didn't. Anyways, enjoy the book! Don't forget to eat/sleep enough or i'll send the demons after you
