Flowers For An Old Friend; DabiHawks (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 45; You Tried Your Best

*Hawks's POV*

It didn't take long before I got to what was left of the ice cream parlor. The walls had been busted in from the inside, and the roof had collapsed. I couldn't see anyone at all, no heads or arms sticking out to let me know.

I was currently the only hero on the scene. This one hadn't been reported yet.

Just a few minutes ago I had gotten a phonecall. It wasn't from Endeavor like I had thought.

"Hello?"

"Kei, you have to get down to Eito's, now!"

"What? What's going on?"

"The league is here. They waited until I got out, but the parlor is going down. I can't find either Aika or Eito. Something's up." 

"Alright, I'll be there in a minute. Keep looking."

I didn't know where anyone is, but I couldn't panic. Of course I had been trained for a situation like this. However, I hadn't ever planned for people I knew to be a part of the equation.

Landing on a building overlooking the parlor, I did a quick scan of the area, not spotting anyone in the rubble. Panic was starting to get to my head, so I did my best to lock my feelings away. I couldn't do my job correctly if I was worried about who I was trying to save.

I saw a hooded figure standing in the alleyway. They were on their phone. I dived down, landing just a few feet from them.

"What exactly happened here?"

"I don't know, they were inside. I got a call, I thought it was you, so I asked Eito to watch her for a minute. It was just a minute." Dabi was shaking, still looking down at his phone. He tapped something on his phone before holding it to his ear.

"And Toga won't answer the damn phone. She texted me before it, she said sorry, then the place started coming down." I heard a voicemail start and he stuffed his phone into his pocket.

"Alright, you stay out here, look for them outside here and I'll check the parlor. If you find either of them, call the police and run." Immediately after I spoke, I launched myself forward towards the parlor.

I sent out feathers, using them to try and find anyone. Good news, the parlor was small, so I could probably check it myself if a few minutes. However, that also meant that anything I couldn't see probably wasn't there.

"Kei!" I turned to face the sound. It was Dabi, waving me towards him. I looked back over before following him.

A bit further down the street, hidden in the dark, was a man. I couldn't tell who he was, but I could tell that he probably shouldn't have the long ass pole in his abdomen. Dabi went beside him and I felt my heart sink as I noticed who it was.

"Hey, Eito it's alright. I've got help." He said, putting his hand on Eito's shoulder. He looked bad. His head had obviously gotten smashed against something, and of course the pole was there too.

"The girl." He hissed, trying to sit up more. "They got her. I tried to stop, them, but they appeared. They destroyed the building." Dabi forced him back down, keeping one hand behind him.

"I tried to follow them, but they threw a blue marble thing and this happened." He pointed to the pole. "And it hurts like shit."

"Can't you fly him to a hospital or something?" Dabi asked, looking up at me. I used one hand to push him away from Eito as I looked at the damage. The pole had stabbed through his liver, but there wasn't a lot of bleeding, which is weird.

"Eito, what is your quirk?" He looked confused, but very awake.

"I can regrow parts of my body, but only small things." He closed his eyes, facing back up, obviously in pain. "I tried to use it, I don't know what it did."

The safest way to go about this would to call the police, but he doesn't have enough time. He's stopped most of the bleeding himself, so he would be fine. At least, I think so.

"I think you just saved your ass." I muttered, putting my arms under his legs and his back before picking him up. "Dabi, report this. Get back to the apartment as soon as possible and try to figure out what the fuck is going on."

I didn't give him time to argue, taking off immediately with Eito in my arms. I needed to get to the hospital as fast as I could.

"Hawks, I'm so sorry." He had his eyes screwed shut and his hands wrapped around the pole. "I tried, I really did."

"And you did your best. Try to relax." I started to get faster. If he did said something, I couldn't hear it.

He was unconscious by the time I got him there.

*Dabi's POV*

Toga still wasn't answering her phone.

Neither was Twice.

I could see it in Hawks's eyes when he left. There's a good change Eito can die.

Aika is kidnapped.

In conclusion, everything has gone to shit.

By the time Keigo got back to the apartment, he looked exhausted. His wings drooped, but his face looked devoid of emotion. When he closed the door, he sat down on the couch and started to lean on me.

"Why did they take her?" He asked. He sounded broken, but his emotionless face didn't change.

"I don't know, no one will answer the phone." I tried Toga again, but it still just sent me to voicemail. "Is Eito alright?" He shrugged, not looking anywhere but straight forward.

"I don't know." I didn't push him. He didn't know, so he didn't know. He started to stand up again, but I grabbed his shoulder.

"Where are you going?" I asked him, but he shrugged me off.

"I have to go find her. I need to make sure she's okay." I stood up, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him close. He froze, but soon started to melt into the hug.

"I'll go to the league tomorrow and sort all of this out, okay? It's the safest way to do things right now." Keigo thought for a moment before nodding.

The problem is that I know why they took her. Blackmail. They will hold her captive until I do what I was supposed to do.

Kill Hawks.
