The Bird Tamer

"Travel safely",Yaoyorozu said as you waved to the gathered people as you held the reins to your mare

"Tch, don't die",Bakugou stormed up to you,"You fucking die, I'll...I'll hate you",he whispered the last part

You smiled softly,"Alright."

"(Y/n)",Midoriya walked up followed by Todoroki and Kirishima

"You sure you don't want us to follow?",Kirishima asked

"We could provide assistance",Todoroki spoke up

"Guys you'll be needed here, I as captain have the need to take care of the dirty work",you smiled at them, you appreciated them but they were more important and necessary for this

"No! We're yours to order. Tell us to kill them and we'll it!",Bakugou yelled angrily as the others nodded

Your eyes began to tear up and you chuckled,"You're not mine, you're people with free wills. I am trusting everyone to you guys of course with Aizawas help."

"(Y/n) its time",Keigo called out as he approached

"Don't let me down",you smiled as your horse took off leaving them behind

"She really left",Midoriya mumbled as you were long gone from their sight

"She's always been unpredictable",Kirishima sighed as he glanced over at his best friend.

"Now we're talking nerds",Bakugou smirked

Kirishima couldn't help the unsettling feeling growing in the pit of his stomache.

"The plan is simple. We all know how the last battle went down",Midoriya spoke as everyone shifted in their seat remembering the lost battle

"We found out they plan to attack seperately and gather here for a final blow",you spoke as you pointed to a hun up map

"So are we going to wait?",Jirou asked

"No, we'll attack them before they have a chance",you announced making everyone murmur in surprise

"Let do it!",Kaminari jumped up a huge grin on his face,"They won't know what hit them!"

"No."

Everyone turned in surprise,"no?"

"I'll be the one attacking",you announced

"What?!", arguments and protests began, Kirishima saw the way Bakugous smirk disappeared into a frown

"If we all attack no one will be here to receive them. We also can't risk sending you guys. You're still kids. As captain I need to take the lead",you said firmly,"I'll be taking Keigo with me, leaving Aizawa in charge."

"Ya heard her, captains words are law",Aizawa spoke up as he leaned against the rooms wall,"Or are you challenging her?"

A heavy silence fell in the room. Keigo stood alongside you as he eyed everyone suddenly a chair was slammed down.

"You and me outside",Bakugou growled as he stormed out

"Bakubro!",Kirishima called out but he was long gone

"(Y/n)",Keigo spoke softly

"I accept",he watched as you exited

He let out a sigh remembering. Bakugou lost obviously it was an amazing match. For a second you would've lost had it not been for Bakugou softness that you were able to over power him.

You found yourself at a train station. You'd exchanged your mare for money, so now you layed low waiting for the next train to arrive. Keigo stood besides you, his foot rapidly tapping on the floor. He was nervous and for a good reason. Using magic you'd temporarily hidden his wings, so you could understand his momentary discomfort.

"Here it comes",he murmured as the train came to a screeching halt

"Eveyone aboard!",a man yelled as the crowd began moving

People were getting off their luggage being pulled behind them. As others stood by waiting to be let in. You let your body slump down in your chair, once inside the train. Your dark brown cloak holding your body, your hood pulled all the way down. Hiding your face from prying eyes.

"Tch",Keigo clicked his tongue amusing you

"Something wrong?",you asked cocking a questioning eyebrow at him

"Men",was all he growled out

"Men? Aren't you a man?",you chuckled as his ears turned a soft shade of pink

"What I meant was....",he paused momentarily,"There were a group of men we walked past in the hall, they wouldn't stop eyeing you."

That was true when looking for your assigned area a group of men had brushed past you. You hadn't thought much of them, but one had sent a shiver down your spine when your shoulders touched.

"It can't be helped, men  aren't the most respectful you'll find",you sighed as you glanced out the window

"I would never disrespect you",he claimed as he sat upright a firm look in a his face

"Oh? Really?",You teased

"I'll do anything for you",he claimed once again,"I want you to trust me."

You smile slowly wavered,"You're still not looking for...",you trailed off

"Yes but I'll wait. I want this to be mutual, so songbird you won't have to keep fighting alone",he smiled softly taking your hand in his

The warmth of his hand soothed you. His words made you feel at ease momentarily. You just shook your head and leaned back on your seat. The door to your compartment suddenly slide open making you jump up.

"Oh sorry wrong place",it was the same man from earlier.

"Its okay",Keigo spoke up making you realize he'd stood up and was practically hovering over you

You remained silent, you didn't have a good reason to question him. That is until you saw how disgustingly that man eyed you from head to toe. It seemed you weren't the only one to notice as hawks face contorted into pure enragement. The man then proceeded to close the door and leave.

"Hey!-",he began but you pulled on his cloak and shook your head,"but-".

"Ignore him we cant waste time or energy on pieces of Shit like him",You spoke firmly as you couldn't help but tug your cloak closer to your body

"If you say so captain",but even as he sat the blood lust that was coming off him was enough to tell you if he saw that man your words wouldn't stop him.

You continued the journey in a comfortable silence. Whenever You stood the leave he'd followed not that you minded. That man hadn't exactly left you at ease but Keigo's company helped ease the tension you carried.
