Jean moves her hands trying to remove the bindings holding her. A silver table before her white room and red light of camera hidden away in the room blinks. It was practically  like an interrogation room but less cozy looking then what police stations offer.

"Hawks slow down!" Endeavor shouts after him, using his flames to jet after the wing hero as the duo zooms through the sky. Right after Hawks got the news about Jean, he didn't wait, he bean-line for the window. Endeavor was concern as he order his son and friend to stay or go back to UA as he swiftly chase after Hawks. "Let's discuss this and come up with a plan. What's even going on?" He asks him.

Endeavor soon got Hawks to stop, as they land on a roof top. "Slow down boy. What's doing?" He. Ask again blocking Hawks way, his tone serious, eyes fixed on the young male with concern.

"It's, complicated Endeavor. This is  just between me and them."

"You can tell me what's happening. You're distressed, running on emotions and who knows what else right now." his eyes travel over Hawks, taking in

Endeavor place his hand on Hawks shoulder. "Let me help you out Keigo and get her back to you."

Endevaor pulls hawks close into a hug. The younger male press his face into the broad chest as he hugs him back

The president along with couple other men make their way down the hall to the room the other after a brought Jean into 30 to 40 minutes ago.

"As long as she stays cuffed we have nothing worry about when it comes to her quirk. She's practically useless right now." One of the men  says

"Good let's make sure to keep that way."  Madam President says opening the door.

As Shoto and Deku return to UA, their classmates quickly gather around them.

"Is something wrong with you guys looked troubled?" Ochoko ask them as she and the others retrieve the stuff they asked for from the duo. Noticing the worried look they both share.

"Did something happen?" Kirishima ask as others start to fire off questions at them. Deku and Shoto exchange looks and then cut them off.

"You could say that." Deku says as he goes to explain what happened a few hours ago. Shock looks cross everyone's face as they listen to what he was telling them.

"We should help!" Denki suggest.
"She's our friend."

"What if it's the league? Or another group they could use help." Momo adds

"Indeed, though I do have faith in hawks and Endeavor." Tokoyami says

"Still we should-"

"Stay put let them handle this." Eraser says naming himself known and cutting Mina off.

The President of the Commission and a few others make their way down the hall to the room where the were they Jean into 30 to 40 minutes ago after they got ahold of her

"As long as she stays cuffed we have nothing worry about when it comes to her quirk. She's practically useless right now." One of the men  says who leads the way down the corridor.

"Good let's make sure to keep that way."
Madam President says. "She's been a pain in outsides long enough. We need her gone and Hawks back in line."

"Yes madam." The men all say in unison.

Jean stares back at the middle-aged woman's turquoise eyes as three other members of the HPSC flank the President. The Commission Leader moves to the left of the President.

"This wouldn't have had to happen if you left Hawks alone. He has no place or time for someone like you." Madam President scolds.

"Excuse me, are you being serious? Hawks deserves a life outside of work. He's an incredible man and deserves to be treated as more than your fuckin' puppet." Jean snaps back.

"I would watch what you say, Miss Gray. Hawks is ours. We paid good money for him. He knows that, no matter what he wants, what we want will always trump it. We have a contract. Anything that threatens that contract is our problem to deal with, and, let me tell you, Firehead, you don't stand a chance against us." The Commission Leader's eyes narrow at Jean before leaving Jean alone in the room again.

Unlike his typical graceful landing, Hawks looks more like a plane crashing as he approaches Endeavor from the sky. Two days of endless searching for Jean is starting to take a toll on him.

"Hawks, have you slept since you realized she was missing? Is has been over 48 hours. And have you eaten?"

"No and no-" Hawks replies, eyes still fixed on the space behind Endeavor.

"Go get some sleep. You're no good for anyone if you are unwell. We'll continue the search while you rest." Endeavor encourages.

"I- I don't want to stop looking for her. I can't imagine life without her."

"Hawks, go get sleep. We will get her back. We just need to be careful and smart.

"Okay, you're right. I'll go back and try to get a couple zzz's. Then we're diving back in full-boar and finding her.

As Hawks closes the door to his penthouse, he hears his phone buzz as he's about to get in the shower.

Any other time Hawks wouldn't answer a call from an unknown number, but Jean's life is on the line. He answeres.

"I'm not sure how much more we have to do to help you understand. We own you. You do not have choice. And that girl is bad news."

"President?" Hawks explains. "What the fuck is wrong with you?! Where is she?!"

"I don't know if you'll ever see her again. Blowing her brains out is going to be sure a shame- such a pretty girl."

"I will find you. And when I do-"

"You will do nothing. You will stop your relationship with her and get back on track." The President responds. "Get used to it. "This is is your out."

"Over my dead body." Hawks responds.
