Frozen Wings

Chapter 6

Hawks' POV

I had been grounded, literally, for at least a month now. I did my best to keep my double agent job as a weekend-only thing so nothing happened to the students again. Unfortunately, the villains immediately noticed I was injured. I came up with the excuse 'I got in a fight with a wild animal that I tried to pet that obviously was not interested.' Whether or not the villains believed me, I didn't care. If I had told them Frostbite had fought me, that would've created many problems that I wasn't interested in solving.

It was Friday afternoon now. Storms was playing dodgeball with the students in a clearing behind the UA building. Unfortunately, combining dodgeball with strength-based Quirks was not a good idea. They had already broken five windows and knocked Mineta unconscious. I sat under a tree to keep cool. It was mid-spring, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, which meant the sun was beating down on us. Hence why I was sitting to the side under a tree.

"Ugh this is unfair! You've had Storms on your side for the whole game! Give us a turn!" Kaminari complained at a five-minute water break.

"No way! You've got Midoriya! If we give you Storms we're as good as dead!" Kirishima retorted.

The two boys had recovered from their injuries extremely fast, thanks to Storms and their classmates dedication to getting them better. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Todoroki and Shinso. They were still inside in the recovery room. I felt a little sad, thinking about the gorgeous day they were missing out on.

Because of me.

I scolded myself. I sighed, standing up and walking over to Storms, who was enjoying watching the students argue over her.

"Storms?" She turned her head in my direction.

"What's up?" Storms asked.

"Do you think it'd be alright if I brought Todoroki and Shinso out here? They can sit with me under the tree. I just feel bad that they're alone inside..." I shrugged, looking away.

"I think that's a wonderful idea." She nodded. I grinned, going inside. The boys seemed happy to have a chance to get out. They carefully stood, Shinso grabbing his crutches; Todoroki sitting in his wheelchair. I felt horrible.

I was silent the rest of the walk back outside. They followed me under the massive oak tree, carefully lowering themselves onto the ground, setting their crutches and wheelchair to the side.

Storms noticed their arrival and extended the water break. The students continued arguing over who's team she should be on while Storms came over. "How are you two?" She smiled at the boys.

"Better. Thank you." Shinso smiled back.

"I'll be fine." Todoroki dipped his head respectfully.

"Kiddo, just a reminder - I'm always here if you need to talk." She said, sensing something we didn't.

"I know." Todoroki politely nodded.

"Storms! We've come to a decision!" Midoriya called. She turned away, standing back up, trotting over to the group.

"You in whatever form you want versus all of us!" Kaminari hopped up and down excitedly.

"Sound intriguing... what's in it for me if I win?" She asked.

The students huddled together, thinking about it. Finally, they came up with an answer. "We'll pay for you to go to dinner at a fancy restaurant with a friend of your choice." Yaoyorozu said.

Storms smirked. "I like the sound of that! And for you guys, if I lose, I will do absolutely any dare you give me. One dare for the entire class, I mean."
