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

Chapter 13: Bonding Moment

"Where have you three been?" Scott demanded as he locked his car. He stood outside the mansion with Jean when Kurt, Hawks and Rouge showed up.

"Out," Rouge told him. "Let me know when dinner's ready."

Scott watched as she walked past him and into the mansion.

"You went with her?" Scott asked as he glanced over at Hawks. The ashy-blonde boy gave a wary glance up at him. "I don't remember seeing you leave." he said, narrowing on Hawks while crossing his arms

Feeling Scott's intense stare through his red shades, Hawks fidgeted nervously as his crimson wings wrap around him trying to shield him from the older teen's burning gaze.

"Yeah!" Kurt jump in, smiling. "Hawks wanted to see the town so, we went with her." The blue-haired teen said. As Hawks' wings retracted back, the boy noticed a blue tail twitching behind Kurt. Almost cat like in a way.

"No trouble?" Scott asked looking from Hawks to Kurt. "Nope, none at all." Kurt said while his tail flicked behind him.

"Keigo!" Hawks flinched, as his wings straighten the fell limply against his back. He gulped and looked away as Jean kneeled down in front with concern in her green eyes. "Hawks?" she lowered her voice to a more gentle tone. "What happened?" she asked.

With a sigh Hawks glanced up at her meeting her gaze with his own. "I tried to fly my own and crashed landed in a bush over the wall, but that was before Rouge and Kurt showed up," he said.

Jean looks up at Kurt as the blue-haired teen rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, Rouge took care of it."

Hawks shifts his feet as Jean looks back at him. "Do you mind if I have to look, promise I'll be gentle."

"It's still sore and hurts," he watches as she lightly touches it.

"It was reckless. You could have asked me to come along."

"I'm.. sorry," Hawks looked down in shame as his wings pressed against his back. Jean places a hand on his good shoulder causing him to look back up at her. "Just be careful next time okay, Hawks."

"Okay," he said with a shy smile.

"Alright, let head back in." Scott said, turning around to make his way back to the mansion.

Kurt followed.

"Come on, I know how we ease the pain." Jean said as she stood up placing a hand Hawks' back as she lead him inside.

Jean grabs a couple of ice packs from the freezer as Hawks stood next to her shifting nervously in place.

"What's wrong?" Jean asked him as she closed the freezer door and glanced over at the winged boy.

"Uh, does Scott hate me?" he asked, "he didn't look very happy." Jean reached down and rest hand on Hawks' shoulder causing him to fix his gold-brown eyes on her.

"No. I don't think so," she smiles. "He cares about you just as much as the rest of us do. He's just not in best mood right now."

"Oh, okay," he said as he relaxes glad to know Scott didn't hate like he feared he did.

"Come on, let's get you taken care of now." Hawks smiles and followed her out of the kitchen.

"Take a seat on the bed," she said once she opened the door to his bedroom.

Hawks scrambled best he could onto the bed using his wings to help him balance as Jean sets the two icepacks down on the mattress next to him.
