Flying Free: My Hero Evolution Wings of Change (X-Men/My hero crossover)

Chapter 7: Can you help... me?

It only been a few minutes since they left the school. Jean scanned the area. Since leaving the school, something felt off like an invisible pair of eyes on her and Hawks. "Hawks, are always wanting to do things alone?" she asked him.

"I've always been alone."

Jean sighs, "I guess it sorta strange for us. We're always doing something together and helping each other out. That us, the X-Men that's what we do, if someone needs help we are there."

Hawks hugs his doll tightly in his right arm. Is that why they are nice to me?

*SNAP*

The two stopped walking and look around. What was that? He clung to Jean's leg.

"Hawks, do you know this town at all?" she asked him, keeping her calm demeanor.

The boy shook his head. "I- I don't.. just my home town, its not clean like this place it more dirty and broken."

Who would let kid live in a place like that? Jean shook her head. "Well, then how about we learn together?" Hawks just looked at his doll but nodded as she reaches down taking his hand again.

They moved into more of a crowded area, in hopes to blend into the groups of people. "Keep close to me," she told him, not taking her eyes off her surrounds fully. Is it a hero or villain? She looked at Hawks who was holding her hand with his left hand in his right arm held his doll.

Acting like they were sightseeing, Jean would take random turns here and there. In hopes to shake their stalkers. "Th-there's a group behind us," Hawks said, causing Jean to look at him. "Are sure?" the boy nodded. "But, I don't know if they're bad people or not." Why are they following us, what do they want?

"We can't go straight back to our hotel, but we need to shake them." she hummed, trying to think.

"A trip rope?"

"Huh?"

Hawks let go of her hand with a point to a rope nearby. "If they fall they can't follow us," He looked over to Jean. "Good idea Hawks," He smiled and looked down at his doll shyly. "Go grab it, we'll set up where it won't hurt others." Nodding, he ran over to grab the rope he saw.

Hawks watched in awe as she used her powers to set up the trap. She's so talented. "Hawks tie this end here," he nodded and hurried over. Jean watched the boy. He's smarter than most kids his age. "Okay, that good. Now we need to bait them here." she walks over, taking his hand. "Once it goes off, I'll use my powers to help us get away."

**********

Once Jean was sure their stalkers were following them. The two kept up the act like nothing was wrong. Jean quietly instructs Hawks to hold on to her tightly as they soon stepped over the trip rope they laid out.

Slowly, as the leader drew closer to them. Jean slips the rope upwards. Loud *THUDS* rang out. Jean levitated and flies both her and Hawks away.

The boy tried to move his wings as they went. "You don't have to do that, I have us both," she told him. Hawks stops and looks over at her. I want to fly. Soon they touched back down.

Jean sighs in reif before looking over at Hawks. "What?" she asked, realizing the boy was looking up at her. "N-nothing." he looked away. "You sure?" Hawks nodded and gripped her hand. "Alright, how about we head to the hotel, before it gets even later?" They began walking in the hotel's direction, both at ease, knowing they weren't being followed anymore.

Hawks stood next to Jean as she opened the door to the room he shared with Professor X and Logan. "Like I promised, I'll leave you be," she said, opening the door. Hawks walks into it.
