AN: We had one review I'd like to reply to today, so here that is!
StandUpKeepMovingForward: As for why Hawks is well liked, I honestly haven't finished Season 4, and I read the manga a while ago but only to about where S4 ended, or so I'm told, so most of my exposure to Hawks comes from other fanfics. I'd say the main reasons I can think of would be obviously that he's physically attractive, along with being very strong with a rather unique quirk, a decent backstory, and a personality that's snarky at times without breaching into Bakugou territory of full-on unapproachability. That's just my take on the character at least.
Now that Izuku had finally gotten the room to really stretch his wings, he could firmly say that flight was his new favorite way to travel. Going on patrol with Hawks meant that the hero had to considerably slow himself down so that Izuku and Tokoyami could keep up, but with the two only being students, that was to be expected.
Izuku and Hawks flew side-by-side through the city, with Tokoyami having his quirk propel him from rooftop to rooftop shortly below them, with Hawks using his feathers to help out around the city from time to time as they flew, amazing Izuku as he saw just how versatile the pro's quirk was up close.
Soon after, they began entering an industrial district, where Hawks called out to them.
"Now we're going to be working on your maneuverability for a bit, so keep up as best you can!" he said through their earpieces before taking off through the mess of pipes before them, the two students trailing close behind.
Momo was having a very rough time with her training under Ingenium. The main way he had decided to train her was in a room he referred to as the evasion room. The walls were covered in softball launchers that would fire at the person within the room at random, playing a sound as they did so, and the idea was to use the room to practice dodging attacks from all angles. How Momo was using it, however, was to stand stock still in the center of the room and use only her quirk to block or deflect the projectiles firing at her from all directions.
Every time a ball fired at her, she'd summon out a small armor plate under her clothes for the ball to bounce off of, or extend a short pole from her exposed skin to intercept them before letting whatever she had formed fall to the ground. Even after only half an hour, the floor surrounding her was littered with spent metal from the hellish training, and she was starting to feel dizzy from the amount of fats she'd expended using her quirk.
In a moment of her wooziness, one of the launchers fired right at her back, and she didn't quite have time to summon up a ate to stop it. Seemingly realizing this, Kuromu, who she could tell had wanted to be on his sheathe attached to her even during this training, extended out once more to block the projectile with its hilt.
As Momo ran her thumb down the hilt as thanks, another ball shot straight for her exposed arm from the front, where she formed another pole to knock it out of the air. Collapsing backwards into the ground, she looked and saw that, rather than disconnect and fall to the ground like the rest of her spent material, the multicolor sparkles that formed when she used her quirk seemed to reverse, and the pole sank back into her skin.
Blinking, Momo tried again, and once more, the pole she had formed started to disappear back into her right arm. When she reached forward with her left to touch it and make sure she wasn't truly hallucinating, the power suddenly cut off, and the half of the pole that had remained fell from her arm.
The rest of her attempts at recreating this phenomenon failed to bear fruit, and she was ready to pass out from the training she had been going through, so she opted to go take a break and try to figure out what happened later.
Eventually, she figured out that she had not, in fact, hallucinated the occurrence due to how dizzy she was, and that whenever she held Kuromu's hilt, she was able to let materials return back into her body, restoring the fats they had used to be formed. This only worked on objects she hadn't finished forming, as once they disconnected from her body, she could no longer affect them, but halfway extending a material out and then pulling it back in would work.
Using this new ability had to be a continuous motion, with the material always having to either be moving in or out of her body, never pausing or it would disconnect from her, but this still opened up a whole new world of possibilities for her quirk, ones that Ingenium was quick to try to find a way to help train her in.
