  ###### Summary

  > Hawks takes baby steps backwards, getting closer and closer to the door, as everyone continues to get loud and look at eachother for answers. Well, almost everybody; Dabi is watching him limp away with an unimpressed expression.

  > “Those are torture wounds,” Shigaraki points out, crossing his arms and leveling Hawks with a dead-eyed stare.

  > “How do you even know what torture wounds look like?” Hawks throws back as he continues to plan his escape. Shigaraki looks at him with raised eyebrows until Hawks looks away again, feeling like an idiot. These people are villains, he knows that (but its so easy to forget-).

  > “Right, fuck.”

  > Hawks flicks him a two fingered salute before turning tail like the coward he feels like and making for the door. He doesn't get more than four feet before Dabi grabs him by one of his wings and yanks him back.

  ###### Summary

  > “Oh, right” Dabi snorts, looking angry and sarcastic, “your life must be so hard.” He flings his hand out as if to showcase Hawks’ apartment, and the hero feels a hollow feeling nest in his chest as his tired eyes follow Dabi’s gesture. His apartment is nice, he knows that, but he also knows that it’s as empty as he feels right now. Even Dabi’s hand falters and drifts back to his side as he takes in the empty apartment with its blank walls and cream colored furniture. It could, Hawks supposes, be taken for stylishly minimalistic, rather than hardly lived in. And he just wants to sleep in his rarely used bed, he feels like falling over and his vision is blurry, but Dabi is staring at him, looking for answers that he doesn’t want to admit to. Hawks feels like he’s drowning as he chokes out a small agreement without looking the other man in the eyes. Dabi was right, in a way; he had everything he could ever want, and therefore no reason to complain. It didn’t matter what his apartment was like anyway. He was willing to bet money that he slept at his desk on top of reports more than he did in his room, or just his apartment in general. It was the life that he got for being a hero, and he embraced it.

  ###### Summary

  > When someone else walks through the door, the staring contest dissolved with his Handler as the winner after Hawks whirled around to assess the new threat in the room. Juice drips from where his grip had crushed the juice box, further staining his clothes and making a mess on the bar top. Hawks continues to blink owlishly at the newcomer. The person, who seems to be made of shadow, rather than it clinging to him, looks at him with mild interest, a towel and a bar glass in his hands. His eyes move to address Hawks’ Handler.

  > “He’s very,” the man pauses, as if choosing his next words carefully, "small.”

  > His Handler grunts in irritation, and Hawks almost chimes in that he's sorry, he knows he supposed to be bigger.

  > A hesitant pause.

  > “Was it-?”

  > “Fuckin’ drop it,” his Handler spits out.

  > “Ah, I see,” the other hums tactfully, and wisely drops the topic. Hawks thinks that his eyes are pretty, the color of a flower that grows in the part where he meets Touya sometimes, but he doesn’t tell him. He's not supposed to meet anyone, and he's not supposed to speak without permission.

  > Or: Hawks get's de-aged and the league takes care of him

  ###### Summary

  > Dabi is back, and if Hawks didn’t know better, he would say that the villain's expression looks confused. Dabi’s hand gestures around his own scarred mouth, where a smirk is slowly growing.

  > “You’ve been busy,” he greets, and at first Hawks doesn’t even know what he’s talking about, but he knows that it’s not the impressive stack of completed paperwork on his desk. Tentatively, he raises his own fingers to his mouth and rubs lightly before looking down at them. They’re a bright red, too artificial to be blood, but his stomach still lurches at the sight. Hawks almost wishes that it was blood.

  > “So, what, am I too ugly for ya? There ain’t no way that you’re straight,” Dabi’s smiling like a cat, the wide smile making the staples in his skin pull, and it’s just unsettling enough, and Hawks is already at the end of his rope enough to just tell someone.

  > “I couldn’t move.”

  > Obviously, that was not the response that Dabi was expecting.

  > Or: Hawks works through some stuff and Dabi calls him a bitch (said softly, with love) as he does it.

  ###### Summary

  > The look that he gets is full of mock-sympathy.

  > “I’ll call for a car,” she offers, not even bothering to wait for his reply before her heels start clicking across the polished floor. Hawks isn’t sure that he could give one right now, his voice still trapped somewhere in his chest, which feels too tight, so tight that he’s surprised that he can even breathe because they had grounded him and birds are meant to fly-

  > The commission, displeased with his reliance on them, had taken his flight feathers, cut off the tips, and grounded him both literally and figuratively. He can’t fly like he’s meant to, like he always has. Instead, his wings are two useless, feathery lumps on his back, weighing him down as he blankly waits for a car to take him home for the first time since he’d moved into his own place. His wings flap, as if insisting that they could hold him long enough, that he doesn’t need a car to get home.

  > Hawks ignores them as he watches the commission’s car pull up in front of him.

  > Or: Hawks is grounded (ha) and Dabi just has to show up to be a little bitchy but also helpful because that's just who he is

  ###### Summary

  > He wishes that he didn’t have to go back to the commission, to his Handlers, to being a symbol of freedom bound in chains. But, realistically, what else is he going to do? Admitting it, even quietly to himself, sends sharp pains through what’s left of his own sense of belonging, but he can’t stay here.

  > As friendly as the league is, as much as they seem to almost care, as much as he wants them to, they’re too different from him. Hawks is a hero, and the others-

  > They just aren’t.

  > They’re not really villains anymore, not to him, but they aren’t good; they kill people.

  > Hawks ignores the part of him that screams that he’s killed people. It’s not that it doesn’t matter when he kills someone, it’s not, really, but he has orders. The league has each other, and he has orders.

  > So he needs to go back.

  > Or: Hawks still doesn't think the league cares, so they burn down the commission to show him they do

  ###### Summary

  > “It’s childproof, you dumbass,” he sighs, leaning closer to snatch the bottle away if he has to.

  > Hawks pouts at him, but lowers the cap from his mouth, “‘m not a child,” he protests petulantly before snapping his gaze back down to the pills as they rattle again. His hands resume the apparently impossible task. Right, clearly not a child.

  > Dabi very carefully looks between Hawks’ focused expression and his clumsy hands trying to just pull the lid off. Somehow, he'd never noticed that Hawks had talons, probably because he usually wears stupid looking gloves. Suddenly, he’s a lot more confident in the idiot’s chances at opening the damn thing, or at least confident enough to just crouch and observe the man’s attempts. After a while of fumbling, Hawks slowly looks at Dabi as he raises the container to his mouth, and Dabi puts a stop to that shit as fast as possible.

  > “That’s not how any bottle opens you fuck-nugget,” Dabi makes a grab for the bottle and Hawks rolls away sulkily and curls around the bottle like a dragon would with it’s gold.
