For her, the American soldiers are nothing more than invaders, responsible for the destruction of her people.

Torn from her world, she finds herself imprisoned in a military base, surrounded by enemies who suspect her of being a threat. She has no one left... except Sam.

turn back time {hotwings} [Dabi x Hawks]
"I'm certain you will become a pro hero someday." Hawks opened his eyes and looked up at me, his soft smile making my heartbeat fasten. "You really think so?" I nodded and tucked one strand of his hair behind his ear. I didn't even think about what I was doing. I wasn't scared to embarrass myself anymore. I wasn't even thinking about anything anymore. Nothing surrounding us mattered. My brother could come running towards us standing in flames and I'd still need to be slapped some sense into before I would react. Hawk's smile grew a bit, but stayed soft. "If I become a pro hero, you'll be one too. Let's... be heroes together. Like a duo or something... Like partners. You have crimson hair and I have crimson wings. It would fit so well." I smiled brighter at him. The thought of growing up and becoming heroes with him made me so happy. - But things can change so fast. Someone can become a completely new person in only a few years. Two childhood "friends" meet after many years again and realize that their feelings for each other haven't faded at all. But can a villain and a hero really be together or are they destined to fall apart?Complete

It's been one month since the devastating collapse of The Nothing. Carson is gone. Ryland is missing. And Deshawn-one of their own-is dead.

Genesis stays close, refusing to let pain pull them apart. Lucas leads with strength but holds tighter to the blade reforged from failure. There are no world-ending threats this time. Just the world itself. In a sudden turn, the United States government brands the Force a threat to global security. With trust eroding and surveillance tightening, the team is pushed to the brink-not by monsters, but by the very people they fought to protect. And when public pressure mounts, the Force must choose: surrender their legacy, or take a stand against the system built to erase them. All while the memory of Deshawn lingers in every silence. Every scar. Every choice. This is not the end of the world. But it may be the end of the peace they fought for. Welcome, to Dark Wave Force: The Counter.Complete
