Layers Of Suffering (Tokoyami BNHA)

~Tokoyami~

A few months later...

Tokoyami stared at his face, not in a mirror, but in a card. He had just received his provisional hero licence card, finally granting him the ability to save civilians from villains legally. It was a proud thing to achieve as he shoved it into his wallet, securely zipping the pocket to stop it from slipping out.

However, he felt that he didn't have sufficient training, given that villains interrupted them multiple times. Therefore, he would be resuming his internship with Hawks, the No. 2 hero with All might being out of commission. He had chosen Tokoyami with many personal reasons earlier in the Sports Festival.

Tokoyami hoped he would actually learn something this time, his last time were just chasing Hawks through the city and cleaning up after his mess. He was just barely able to keep up, with the other interns behind him. He was sick of Hawks games, some of his classmates had grown considerably since their last internship, Midoriya had much better control over his quirk, Uraraka strengthening her martial arts, even Momo, who had gotten herself a new friend.

"Hey, what's up Toko!" Hawks greeted him informally. It was the third day of internship, Tokoyami was tired of being left behind. He even got a small lecture from the Raven guy the previous day in the air.

"Don't use that name." He glad at the pro hero, who gave him an amused glance.

"So, ready for the usual stuff? Quicken up the pace, would you? You're slowing me down significantly" He complained.

"We'll try our best, Hawks!“ the other interns answered.

"Not this time, not anymore" Tokoyami muttered angrily. He could feel his adrenaline rushing through his body.

We'll show him what we've got! Dark Shadow challenged.

Oh, we'll show him all right 
He thought, feeling more determined than ever.

A gust of wind hit him and the rest of the interns as Hawks flew through his office window. The bird head was the first to react, using dark shadow to propel himself through the window, others followed suit, using their own unique quirks to their advantage.

Usually, he was the closest intern to Hawks, but still not even close enough to just barely notice his shadow or the wings of Hawks feathers in the distance.

Today, Tokoyami was different. He used every structure he saw to propel himself, giving him a much higher top speed, although risking his precision and balance in the process. With this, he managed to be in complete view of Hawks figure for once, his relaxed beating of his wings, progressing in a comfortable pace. This caused Hawks to turn his head to the bird teen, giving him a look that shows more of satisfaction than surprise, he was gaining on him slowly.

However, Hawks could see that Tokoyami wouldn't last very long in that pace, but didn't attempt to stop him. Before long, Tokoyami grabbed on a loose concrete on the side of the building, losing his footing and balance, his speed preventing him from grabbing on to something for support.

"Arrrgh!" He yelped in surprise as he flung his arms wildly, trying to grab hold onto something, his body in free-fall now.
