Chapter Text
Izuku was packing a messenger bag with his clothes while the four all laid on his bed.
“Do you have to go for a week Izuku? Can’t we come with you?” Kouta asked from his spot on Touya’s lap.
“Please Nii-san! What if you get hurt?” Eri begged while Himiko did her hair.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t come with me, and I’ll be fine ok? I’m interning with the number three hero, and I’ll call every night ok?” He hugged them both before turning to Touya and Himiko “Thank you for playing with them while I’m gone.”
“Of course Izuku!” Himiko cheered while hugging him.
“It’s the least we could do.” Touya got a far away look in his eyes before Himiko dragged him into the hug too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“So you chose the hero Manual?” Uraraka asked Iida as they all stood at the train station.
“Yes! I believe it will be a fantastic learning opportunity.” Izuku stared at him for a moment. The entire class knew what happened to his brother at this point.
“Iida,” The two turned to him “I know we aren’t super close, but you’re one of my friends, call me if something’s wrong ok? You should never go through anything alone.” The two looked at him shocked.
“Oh, thank you Mido-” “Izuku.” “...Thank you Izuku, but I’ll be ok, have a good internship.” He waved goodbye as he got on his train. Izuku looked after him with a blank expression while Uraraka looked worried.
“Will he be ok?” Uraraka asked Izuku after a couple seconds.
“Hopefully.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku walked the street looking for the address. He could see a few people staring at him, some people even stopped him and congratulated him about the sports festival.
He was a little lost at this point, until he heard someone.
“Hey!” He looked up in time to see Hawks landing in front of him with a wide smile “You’re Midoriya right?” He nodded his head still a little shocked. “Fantastic! My place is over here,” Izuku followed him while looking around “So Midoriya, what do you like?”
“Hm? Oh, um….I like music, hanging out with my siblings and friends.” Izuku didn’t really know what he liked all that much.
“How many siblings you have?”
“Um...I have my little brother Kouta and my little sister Eri, and some of my classmates and friends are my siblings too, and I have Mirio, Tamaki, and Neijiri as siblings, and Touya and Himiko who are my older siblings.” Hawks looked a little amazed.
“Wow, that’s a lot of siblings you got, how many are blood related?”
“None, my dad calls us the found family sometimes though.” Hawks hummed and nodded.
“Welp, we’re here! Let’s go get you changed and we’ll start right away!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku changed into his hero outfit and walked out to the gym area where Hawks was.
“Nice! Love the look kid! Now what weapons do you use if any?” Izuku pulled out the knife on his thigh holster.
“Usually just this but,” He clicked the button on the side of his neck making the blades on his wings appear again “I just got this from a friend but I haven’t tried it out yet.”
“Holy shit!” Hawks jumped back a little in shock as the blades seemed to just appear. Izuku looked at him a little worried “Sorry, just scared me.” He laughed it off while Izuku just nodded his head.
“And I chose you since I figured you could help me learn to fight with my wings since I don’t really use them all that often.” Izuku explained. Hawks hummed as he walked around Izuku and stood behind him.
“Can you stretch them out?” Izuku nodded before opening them, Hawks looked at them for a moment “Ok! Fly up and hover next to me.” Both of them flew up and hovered close to the ceiling, though Izuku had to flap his wings a little to stay there.
“So you can fly! Great, and it looks like the blades don’t bother you so that’s good too,” Hawks laid down in the air for a second “Well….I saw your fighting style during the sports festival and I don’t think we need to worry about it, but you want to add your wings to that right?” Izuku nodded his head.
“Ok! Let’s start with something simple, have you ever used your wings to protect someone before? If you have show my how.” Izuku nodded his head before they both landed back on the ground.
“Um...I used them once to protect someone from a gun,” Hawks looked shocked as Izuku moved his wings in front of him like a cocoon “And there was the USJ,” Izuku moved a little and got into a low defensive position like he was crouched over someone and spread his wings out “But that’s about it.” He stood up and folded his wings behind him again.
“Huh….you definitely have the right idea! Have you ever used them to attack before?” Izuku shook his head “Ok! That I can help on! So let’s do a spar and only use your wings!” Izuku nodded and got into a fighting position. Hawks used one of his larger feathers as a sword and got ready.
They both stood there looking at each other before Hawks sent smaller feathers forward to distract Izuku who used one of his wings to push them away before Hawks bolted forward and swung at him, Izuku dodged before pushing against it with his other wing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“You’re a pretty good fighter kid! I don’t think I've fought someone like that in a while!” Both were out of breath and now taking a break.
“Thank you.” Hawks smiled before ruffling his hair.
“Of course! Now why don’t we go on a patrol?”
