Chapter VII
Rune
I let a soft huff as I rolled over in the bed, I don't know how long I had been laid there but it felt like forever, I know it had to have been at least an hour because Miss Midoriya was asleep. My eyes narrowed at the wall in front of me before I rolled over again, my hand reaching out to grab my phone off the nightstand, but my hand fell hitting the bed frame, growling lowly I reached out this time further up my hand quickly grasping my phone. Turning it on I winced at the sudden bright light, making my eyes squint to look at the time, 2:00 am. Huffing softly I turned the flashlight on and set the phone down as I sat up glaring at the dark corners of my room. Slowly I stood up feeling the energy rush through my body. 'I'm never gonna be able to sleep.' I thought grumbling random things under my breath as I moved to the dresser, pulling out my school uniform, as well as black baggy cargo pants, and a black hoodie. Quickly I threw the letter on then neatly shoved the school uniform into my book bag along with a pair of shoes and a towel. I grabbed my phone shoving it into the thigh pocket, then walked back to my door picking up my boots while throwing my bag over my shoulder. Once again, I left my door open, as I walked into the kitchen, grabbing lunch that I would probably not eat later. Then left out the back-balcony door once again, I let my wings appear into the already ripped holes and took off.
As I was flying towards the beach I heard a women's scream of help, followed by the sound of a dark chuckle, my body tensed up as I looked in the direction of the screams. My eyes landing on an alleyway closer to the city. Changing directions, I landed on one of the buildings next to the alleyway and looked down, my eyes widen in horror as I watched five men surround a single woman who was pushed up against the wall by a sixth person. 'No, let the pros deal with this.' I hissed internally as I turned to walk away, freezing when the woman looked up her eyes staring into my soul with a pleading look, a look that I knew was burning into my mind. Something that I would probably never let go, a look that told me I could never leave her to the pros.
"We gonna have some fun tonight huh boys." The man holding the women chuckled darkly making a small snarl escape my lips. I bent down allowing my wings to flare out covering the alleyway in darkness raising my hood to cover my face and dropped my book bag, before I dived down, landing on one of the men in the back he let out a groan telling me he was still alive, as my wings fold behind my back.
"Now now that's not very gentlemen like," I said in Russian, as the man next to the one I dropped on growled out lunging at me, my head turned to him seeing that he had a mutation of four arms flaring my wings out slightly I jumped up avoiding his tackle kicking his back as he tripped over his friend. Quickly the man turned around preparing a double backswing which I ducked to avoid, quickly I slammed my fist into the side of the man's knee cap followed by a jab to his diaphragm forcing the air out of his lungs as I jumped up kicking his chest sending him flying backward. Twisting my body around I looked towards the remaining four, wings folded back as my feet were placed shoulder length apart arms crossed over my chest, face covered thanks by the hoodie.
"You're gonna get it." Snarled one of them as he pulled out a large knife red eyes narrowing, quickly I bent my knees as he pointed forward causing the remaining three to charge at me. The first guy changed his arms to metal swords, the second guy punched his fist together causing it to sound like metal on metal, and the third guy held a knife in his left hand clenching it he let out a snake-like hiss.
Raising my hands up Metal fist swung his right fist twisting my upper body I changed his fist direction away from my body and downwards knocking him off balance, rising my foot up I kicked the man in his chest sending him stumbling as the man with the knife came up to me swing his right fist at me, ducking down I slipped underneath the Snakeman's arm when I stood up he swung the knife at me quickly I ducked once again watching as he switches the knife to his right hand as I straightened up again, my left hand grabbing his right wrist while my right hand went in for a backhand to the face but he blocked it with his left hand. Twisting then pushing his knife hand away freeing my left, it came up grabbing his left hand and pushing it backward free my right hand as I cupped my hand and slammed it into his ear, hitting my elbow down to keep his right hand away as I reached my left hand behind him grabbing the back of his neck and slamming my right elbow into his face before moving my elbow past his head my left hand grabbing underneath the man's armpit while my right grabbed the back of his neck and pushed downwards as the Metal fist slowly got back up, quickly I sent a kick to Metal fist chest sending him back into a wall using the momentum to sweep the man's right leg out from underneath him while pushing down on his neck sending him to the ground fast. This caused Swords to come at me swing his left hand out I blocked it sending the area between my thumb and pointer finger into his throat causing him to gasp out in surprise, as he backed away.
Metal fist then came up to me sending a kick to me pushing my hands down I blocked the kick sending a left backhand which he backed away for while swinging his left fist making me duck underneath as I snapped back up I grabbed his upper left arm with my left hand, seeing Snakeman out of the corner of my eye, pushing Metal fist out of the way then slammed my right fist into the center of his back. He stumbled forward as I pulled my right arm backward blocking the swing of Snakeman's left hand, slamming my right palm into his jaw I then brought my left foot up kicking him into the side followed by kicking my leg backward into Metal fist, as he started to get to close. Swordman was ready to attack but with the same foot I kicked him in the stomach pushing him backward as well as Snakeman to my left and Metal fist to my right got ready to fight. Both of them coming at me with a right fist bring both my arms up to block the attack, my left hand catching then pushing Snakeman's fist backward.
Ducking my head to avoid a Metal fist left hand I brought my left Elbow up hitting him in the shoulder, with Swords in front moving for a lower right uppercut, I grabbed his wrist with my right hand as Snakeman got ready to punch again. Wending my left fist to punch not only him but Snakeman. Dropping down Metal fist went for a knee kick blocking it while I elbowed Swords in the thigh bring him down to my level as I stood up sending my right elbow into his jaw. Metal fist went for a left hook at the same time twisting my body I grabbed his forearm with my right hand wrapping my left arm around his grabbing at his back in bent down flipping him over my back sending him into Swords who through him away. Turning to Snakeman as he jumped up to kick my face with his right, I blocked it with both of my arms turning my right arm outwards to block his next kick with his left leg. Ducking down I smirked watching as Swords punched Snakeman in the face. Creating enough space for me to jump up doing a split kick sending them both to the ground. When I landed I heard Metal fist get up behind me turning around I quickly ran up noticing that he had taken a knee, placing my foot on his leg I jumped up roundhouse kicking him in the face then landed my eyes snapping towards the last man.
"That's some fancy fighting." Snarled the last man as he smirked grabbing the women and placing a knife against her neck. "Move and I'll cut her." He chuckled darkly making me frown as I watched the women's eyes widen in fear, as I stood still. "It's so funny how quickly you heroes freeze when faced with actual problems." The man laughed
"And such is the ways of a crowd to harm the helpless." I snarled back in German as I bent my knees watching as the man's eyes started to glow brightly.
"Just because you speak in a different language doesn't mean I won't kill you!" He shouted throwing the women against the wall "Move and I'll kill you." He snarled to her as she whimpered softly in fear before sliding down the wall. The man smirked liking the submission of the women before turning and charging towards me.
'First I need to get rid of the knife.' I thought as he went in for a stab, quickly I sidestepped away kicking at the back of his leg forcing him down against his knees leaving my foot on his leg keeping him pinned, he tried to swipe the knife backward, but I caught his wrist with my left hand pulling it forward then slammed my right fist into the back of his neck. His eyes widen before rolling back into his head as his body went stiff then fell forward passed out. Smirking I slowly straightened my back then turned around and walked towards the women. When I got to her I bent down to her level seeing her breathing was fast, uneven, and heavy. Shaking my head I reached into her bag and grabbed her cell phone, she didn't even seem to notice me as her eyes were focused on the man I just took out as I unlocked her phone without needing a password and dialed the numbers 110, then grabbed the women's hand this caused her to react as she screamed out in fear, only to stop when I put the phone up to her ear. The sound of a man talking over the phone caught her attention.
"I… I... These… Villains…" The women stammered out scared as her eyes darted to the men on the ground, quickly I flared my wings out to block her view, pulling her attention to me, quickly I ducked my head making sure that my face was covered as she told the police of the Villains that attacked her and where she was, she was about to open her mouth then looked up at me, making me freeze. "No, a Pro Hero saved me." She said making my body tense up as I slowly stood up, she then handed the phone to my much to my distaste as I backed away. "They want to know your name." She said frowning in confusion.
"Rune." Was all I said as I backed away even more spreading my wings out and took off into the sky ignoring her plea for me to return. I landed on the rooftop quickly grabbing my book bag, checking the time on my phone smiling when I noticed that the fight had taken no more than an hour to deal with. I looked over the edge of the watching as the women took one last look at the villains before turning and walking towards the street I waited until the sound of police sirens sounded, this allowed me to relax as I flared my wings out and finally took off to the ocean.
When I got to the ocean I placed my bag down at the same pavilion dropping my hoodie I looked off into the ocean, before taking my phone out placing it in the bag I took off into the sky then nose-dived down into the water changing my wings to metal to cover my body tensed up when I felt the scratches on my body start to burn. Pushing past the pain as I landed on the bottom of the seafloor and stood there for a second as I looked out into the water, shoving my hands into my pocket I walked forwards moving further out into the ocean. When I need to breathe I slowly went up for air. Then dived back into the water, and turned around, and walked back to the pier, when I reached under the pier I slowly swim to the surface, freezing when I heard a voice.
"Someone who called themselves Rune," The voice paused humming softly to himself "What did they have?" He asked "Wings? Did you try talking to Hawk?" He questioned as the sound of footsteps were heard and the man's voice slowly faded out. "I guess we have another Vigilante, on our hands. Yeah, I was about to head to the station." Was the last of what I heard, I waited in the water for a while. When I saw the sun slowly rise I began to move out from under the pier, flying over to the pavilion I changed my outer feathers to fire heating up my body as I grabbed my towel wrapping it around my bookbag my eyes scanned the area. When I felt it was clear I quickly flew to the bathroom. Quickly I dried off washing my hair in the sink, then dried it enough before placing it in a Dutch-braid, shoving my wet clothes in a plastic bag along with the towel I quickly got dressed into my uniform changing my wings to air. When I walked out of the bathroom I checked my phone seeing that I was now five, slowly I made my way to the train station, taking a seat in the back car I watched as the city changed quickly to grasslands then returned to the city. Getting off at that stop, I walked to school.
A small groan escaped my lips as I turned the corner seeing that the media was still at the entrance to the school, but my eyes landed on the figure across the road. It was the same light sky-blue hair, he stood there in a black long sleeve shirt glaring at the school. 'When are you going to attack?' I wondered ignoring the reports as they tried to block my way, but I glared at them before pushing past them, then disappeared into the school. When I arrived at the classroom no one was there rolling my eyes I closed the door before walking towards my desk and sat down placing my head on the desk I decided to take a quick nap, not minding the quiet classroom.
"Hey, Sanders?" A voice said as I felt someone poke my shoulder groaning softly I slowly rolled my head to the side my eyes opening to see Shoto standing next to my desk, slowly I sat up my eye never leaving his multicolored ones.
"What's up Shoto?" I asked stretching my arms out grunting when I felt my left arm pop, making him frown as he raised an eyebrow.
"I overheard a conversation from my father saying something about a winged Vigilante, that saved a woman last night taking down six villains. From the Villains, they said the Vigilante spoke in a different language. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that?" He asked my body tensed up for a second before I crossed my arms over my chest, and relaxed sitting back into the chair.
"No, I was out by the ocean again, couldn't sleep," I said with a shrug as I stared at him with a frown matching his.
"You do know that it's illegal in Japan to use your quirk to attack villains, right?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Really, I didn't know that." I said leaning forward, "Like I would be a fool and attack Villains like I said I was at the ocean last night." I added watching as a small smirk appeared on his face before quickly falling.
"Just be careful next time. You could get hurt or worse." He said before turning and walked to his desk.
"What and you didn't tell your father this?" I questioned resting my arms on my desk as I looked towards Shoto as he paused and looked over his shoulder.
"What that a friend from school could have been Rune, all because you have the same wings." He said making me freeze as he pulled out his chair and sat down. "No, I won't tell anyone." He added as he pulled out a book and started to read. After that, I stared down at my hands with a frown, then smiled realizing that Shoto had my back. Slowly the class began to fill, up followed by the teacher coming in with a stack of paperwork, he placed the stack of papers on the podium eyes scanning the room then narrowed when he met mine, his eyes narrowed for a second as I looked at him keeping my body relaxed as I leaned back into my chair.
"Decent work on yesterday's combat training, you guys. I saw the video fees and went over each of your team's results. Bakugo, you're talented so don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay? Midoriya, I see the only way you won the match was by messing up your arm again work harder. And don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your Quirk. That line's already getting old. You can't keep breaking your body while training here but your Quirk will be really useful if you can get a handle on it. So, show a little urgency, huh? Now Mara I want to see you before lunch is over, to discuss some pressing issues." Mr. Aizawa said making me frown as I watched every head turn to look at me the I didn't shrink back as I simply shrugged my shoulders. "Let's get down to business, our first task will decide your future." He added making everyone turn around bodies tensing up. "You all need to pick a class representative." He said as everyone let out a loud sigh, only I frowned in confusion as everyone started to shout asking to be picked even Izuku. 'Must be a Japanese thing.' I thought as I watched Kirishima jump up shouting making me smirk as I rolled my eyes.
"Silence, everyone, please!" Shouted Tenya making everyone go quiet as the stared at him. "The class representative's duty is to lead others. That's not something just anyone can do, you must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore, the most logical way, to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader!" He said with his hand raised high in the air, smirking I rolled my eyes quickly pulling out a piece of paper writing his name down. While the rest of the class grumbled about the idea, as I folded the paper and waited for the rest of the class to write down a name. We passed the names to Momo who walked to the front board and wrote down everyone's name and the number of votes that person got at the very bottom was my name with zero votes. Shrugging I really didn't care all too much about the idea of being a class representative I didn't even know what that was, besides what Tenya had explained. I watched as Momo remained standing, up at the front of the class as she got the second highest votes.
"Okay, you idiots, who voted for him?" Shouted Bakugo as he stood up glaring towards the classroom looking ready to blow something up another student had said a snark comment cause the ash blonde to explode. Once everything settled down Izuku shakenly stood at the front along with Momo, who looked unimpressed.
"Alright, the class rep is Midoriya, and our deputy is Yaoyorozu." Mr. Aizawa said from in his sleeping bag.
"Really? Uh. It's not a mistake?" Izuku asked making Momo sigh and look away from him clearly not like that, rolling my eyes at her I frowned as I felt someone looking at me quickly my eyes snapped to Mr. Aizawa, who was frowning as he suddenly looked away from me. After that everyone sat down, and school seemed to go on normally, when lunch rolled around Kirishima walked up to my desk as I slowly stood up.
"Hey, you wanna eat in the lunchroom?" he asked with a smirk on his face, but it dropped when he saw my frown.
"Sure, after I have that talk with Mr. Aizawa, I wonder what's so pressing," I said as I reached into my bag grabbing my Bento and handing it to him. "Here, can you take that with you for me, so I don't have to lose any lunchtime," I said with a small smile when he took it adding it to his before it turned, and walked to the teacher's floor. Wondering what he wanted to talk about 'no way he figured that I saved that girl right.' I thought as gently knocked on the door my ears picking up a faint shuffling.
"Come in." I heard All Might say as I slowly opened the door my eyes blinking once when I saw All Might in his hero form making me roll my eyes as I walked to Mr. Aizawa's desk frowning when he had a police report on his desk, slowly he turned around and looked at me I jumped hearing All Might poof and appear in his other form making both of us snap and look at him before I turned to look at the teacher.
"Where were you last night?" He asked making me frown as I leaned heavier against one leg then the other.
"I was at my host parent house until around two-threeish when I couldn't sleep, I went out for a swim at the beach, why do you ask?" I questioned tilting my head to the side to appear clueless.
"Because around three o'clock the police received a phone call about a Vigilante that saved their life calling themselves Rune, and this Vigilante had large black wings." He said tiredly as he looked at me with a pointed look, making me jump slightly.
"Oh, I don't like to show my wings outside of training," I muttered softly as I scratched the back on my head while looking down.
"And why is that?" Asked Present Mic who was listening in to the conversation, making my frown deepen.
"I grew up in a sort of sun-set town," I said huffing when I saw the three teachers face become that of confusion. "I grew up in a small country city in Texas, that was very religious they also believed that having a mutation quirk, like my wings, meant that you were the spawn of the devil. If they couldn't run you out of town, and they spotted you after the sun-set they pretty much dragged you to the nearest tree and hung you." I said as I dropped my head, "that's why my parents moved out to the family farm to protect me until I was about to change my wings to air." I added looking to see a surprised look on Present Mic and All Might's face, while Mr. Aizawa held one of discuss.
"How irrational" he growled as he flipped the report over. "What did you want your hero name to be?" he asked catching me off guard, for a second as I thought about it watching as All Might took on his hero form and left the room.
"I was thinking of it being Altair, it means Falcon," I said wrapping one arm around my waist while placing my elbow against my arm to support it as I gently tapped my jaw in thought. "Though it is a male name I might have to come up with something different" I muttered softly as I watched Mr. Aizawa frowned and turned to his computer.
"One last thing stay off the rooftops please, the last thing we need is more students realizing that they can go to the roofs. Dismissed." He huffed softly as I stared at him blankly before muttering a quick 'yes sir.' As I turned around an alarm sounded making me freeze as did the teachers.
"Warning. Level Three security breach. All students please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion." A voice called out over the intercom quickly I pushed myself to the wall watching as Present Mic and Mr. Aizawa ran out of the teacher's room leaving me alone. I was about to walk out of the room when the paper on Mr. Aizawa's desk caught my attention. Slowly I walked back overturning the paper over and read the report. It was about the villain's attack, that I stood, apparently the women swore up and down that it was an altar form of Hawks making me smirk, somewhat proud of beginning compared to him, but I shook that thought away as I continued to read the report. It went into the questioning of the villain's smirking at how they even thought I was a pro hero, but then came the mention of the name, frowning 'I shouldn't have used the name I was gonna use.' I thought of the mistake as I flipped the paper back over to appear like I hadn't touched it and left the room, heading back to the classroom.
I paused looking out the window across from the classroom seeing the police were ushering the Media off the grounds, my eyes looked to the large metal barrier frowning when I noticed the entrance gate was pretty much dust. 'Time is running out. That power it reminds me of the man that controls Nomu,' sighing I turned and walked into class seeing that my classmates were already there, huffing I started to walk to my seat passing Kirishima who handed me my Bento and a small baggie of bread making me frown as I saw a note written on it. I looked at him as he had a smirk on his face making a smile form on my face as I continued to walk back to my desk sitting down and looked at the note.
'Sorry, you didn't get a chance to eat.' The note said though it wasn't in the best handwriting making a small smile appear on my face as I placed both items in my bag quietly I opened the bag and slowly ate the bread trying my best not to show my hunger. As Mr. Aizawa walked into the classroom getting into his sleeping bag.
"It's time class rep. Let's begin." Momo said walking past Izuku's desk as she stood up front followed by a shaking Izuku making look at him worried as I shoved another piece of the bread into my mouth.
"Um. Okay, so we need to figure out who the other class officers will be but first, there's something that I wanna say. I've thought a lot about this and I think that Tenya Iida should be our class rep!" Izuku bowed his head and my head snapped to Tenya seeing him look surprised. "He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line. So, I believe that he should be the one leading our class from now on!" Izuku said with a proud smile on his face as I popped another piece into my mouth, 'this bread is surprisingly good.' I thought frowning when I realized that I was acting like that one character that would just eat at random times during very serious moments, frowning. I turned to glare at the author writing my story. 'shit fourth wall break.' I thought as I quickly turned back watching as Tenya slowly stood up.
"If Midoriya is nominating me for this job then I humbly accept. I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities!" Tenya shouted pridefully making every smile.
"Sounds good, Emergency Exit!" Kirishima said, making me frown confused 'why would he be saying that.' I wondered watching as Tenya took Izuku place, while Momo was looking rather dishearten.
"So as Midoriya said we need to elect the other officers…" Slowly I blocked out the words as I finished the bread writing down on the back of the note, a quick thank you, for Kirishima as the rest of the class continued on almost like nothing happened but I noticed that Mr. Aizawa looked a lot tenser than I would think possible. By the end of class, everyone was ready to go home. I stood up packing my work into my bag as I threw it over my shoulder, freezing when I saw Shoto walk up to me.
"Hey, do you want to study together?" he asked, making me frown in confusion, "I noticed how you keep dozing off during Math and English. So, I was wondering if you are silently struggling." He added noticing my confusion making a small smile appear on my face.
"Sure, though I'm only really struggling in Math." I said mentally scolding myself when I felt heat rush to my face, I watched as Shoto turned and left my eyes looking around the classroom seeing it empty, 'hmm so he isn't ready to deal with the rest of the class.' I thought as I noticed he was waiting at the door frowning slightly quickly I raised a finger to him telling him one moment as I walked to Kirishima's desk opening it up I rolled my eyes at the small mess as I placed the note on the bottom of the desk then closed it and walked to Shoto who's frown deepened slightly. "He brought me lunch when I couldn't eat," I said answering his confusion as he turned and walked down the hall leaving me to follow after him. Mentally making note of where we went as we exited the school grounds and started towards the train station. Hopping onto the same train that me in Izuku took but instead of getting off at the first stop when I got off at the second stop which was closer to the housing district. Frowning my eyes scanned over the different houses as they went from modern to old timing. My eyes widened in surprise as I froze watching Shoto walk up to an older looking and larger house with a front gate. He paused noticing I wasn't following then turned to look behind me.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he opened the gate, I only nodded as I followed him in, my eyes looking over the home, for some reason I always seemed to like the old Japanese's house. They always felt mysterious and open. I took my shoes off when Shoto did as he walked into the home. "Fuyumi I'm home," Shoto said as he walked further into the house, I stood at the door my body tensed up wondering if I really should be here. I watched as an older woman with white hair and random bits of red entered the hallway pushing her glasses further up her nose.
"Hello Shoto, how was school?" She asked, making me frown as I looked down failing to notice the new set of eyes staring at me. "Oh, and who's this?" She asked, slowly looked up to see her smiling at me making my already tense body freeze.
"Hello, I'm Mara, I'm a classmate of Shoto," I said watching surprise appear on her face as she turned to look towards Shoto a smirk slowly forming on her face.
"Well it's nice to meet you, Mara, will you be staying for dinner?" She asked with a bright smile as I quickly raised my hands.
"Oh no I couldn't intrude like that, I'm sure Shoto didn't even ask if he could have a guest over, I wouldn't want him to get in trouble," I said heat forming on my face again, noticing how Fuyumi was surprised for a second before smirking.
"I'm sure he didn't, let me know if you two need anything." She said as she turned around and walked back into the room she had come from as Shoto turned around and started walking down the same hallway, when we passed the room I noticed that the room was the family room with a small couch and a tv on the wall with a Soap Opera on rolling my eyes I continued to walk as Shoto lead me to what appeared to be the dining room, setting his bag down he sat down on one end of the table, while I followed and sat down at the other end of the table taking my bag off as well.
"So, you didn't tell your father that I was coming over, did you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him as he seemed to cast a small smirk before it faded as he pulled out his math workbook, as I copied his actions as we both helped each other, me with the math, while I helped him with English. I had failed to realize how much time had passed, even failed to see Fuyumi enter into the room and start to work in the kitchen, or even when the food hit my nose I just brushed it off.
"Ugh Math is so strange it's like Greek," I grumbled banging my head against my workbook, I had taken off my jacket a while ago and rolled up my sleeves, to avoid getting pencil marks on them.
"It's not Greek though." Shoto said making me look at him then rolled my eyes as I sat up "it's more like Latin." This caused a sharp laugh to escape my lips.
"No, it's not, I know Latin this isn't Latin," I said making him raise an eyebrow making me tilt my head.
"How many languages do you know?" He asked, making a small smirk appear on my face.
"So far I know Japanese, English, Latin, German, French, Czech, I just finished learning Russian, I'm thinking about learning Egyptian, or maybe Icelandic," I mumbled the last part failing to see the surprise look.
"Wow, you know all of that, is learning a language a hobby for you?" Fuyumi asked, making me turn and smile at her.
"No, I just figured that anyone who wants to be a Pro should at least understand a couple of different languages so as to not scare people," I said scratching the back of my neck, as I turned around and went back to my math homework we once again sat in silence asking questions now and then about the math or Shoto with the English.
"Who is this?" Came a booming voice to my left, making me jump a small squeak escape my lips as my wings appeared and flared out slightly making my face heat up, as I looked to the person whose voice I heard. My eyes widened in surprise when I saw Endeavor standing in the door with his arms crossed across his chest, and he looked rather unamused, I folded my wings back against my back quickly looking around to make sure I hadn't broken anything of his. I let out a small sigh when I found nothing broken, but my body tensed up when footsteps approached the table. "Shoto who is your friend?" He asked, making my head snap upwards to look at the towering Pro Hero that stood before me, I turned to look at Shoto, but he only held a glare to his father.
"My name is Mara sir, I'm a classmate of Shoto. He offered to help me study." I said bowing my head as I felt a glare on my back making me tense up, slowly I looked up seeing Endeavor deactivate his flames around his body.
"Will you be staying for dinner?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, making me jump slightly as I repeated the action of raising my hands and shaking my head.
"No sir, I didn't even mean to stay this late. I apologize if I have bothered you." I said lowering my hands and frowned when the man smirked slightly sending a chill down my spine.
"Your quirk is your wings?" He asked, his smirk growing I tensed up for a second when I noticed Shoto glaring at his father more.
"No, my wings are a mutation, sir," I said watching as his smirk grew even more.
"Then what is your quirk?" He asked, making a small sigh escape my lips as my wings quickly turned into metal followed by ruby, wood, gold, ice then back to their normal black feathers. I watched as his face remained neutral.
"Anything I touch as long as it isn't another's quirk, I can turn my wings into," I said softly as I looked from him to Shoto, both of them holding neutral expressions making my body tense up as my feathers ruffled for a second. I let out a squeak when I felt a warm hand pluck one of my feathers, quickly my eyes snapped to see Endeavor holding a black feather. "Umm Sir, I don't mean to sound mean, but you don't just go plucking someone else's feathers," I said worried that I would make him mad with this comment of course this caused him to look right at me with a raised eyebrow before his attention quickly looked to the feather watching as it slowly dissolved in his hand.
"Have you met Hawks before?" He asked standing to his full height making me frown as I tilt my head to the side confused.
"No, but I have heard of him from others. Why do you ask?" I asked but when he said nothing my eyes looked past him to the clock on the wall freezing in place. "Fuck" I mumbled in German as I turned and quickly started to pack my things up. "I didn't mean to stay out this late," I said, noticing Shoto's confused face making me send him a small apologizing look, he nodded his head, I grabbed my jacket and stuffed it into my bag along with my work. Quickly I rose to the ground only to fall to one knee as the room started spinning for a second and a headache quickly washed over my head, making me groan as I dropped my bag placing a hand over my head.
"Mara are you okay?" Fuyumi asked worried as she rushed over to me, but I held out my hand to stop her.
"I'm fine, just stood up too quickly," I said grumbling softly as I slowly rose to my feet this time blinking away the dizziness. "See," I said with a small smile on my face, as I bent down grabbing my bag throwing it over my shoulder. Shoto led me to the front as I noticed Endeavor was following along. Placing my shoes on I opened the door walking out into the yard. I smiled, smelling the rain in the air. Turning around I quickly bowed my head "Mr. Endeavor sir, it was nice meeting you. Oh, Shoto, get a good night's rest, I hear tomorrow is gonna be ruff." I said changing my wings to metal and expanding them to their full 16'6" bending down I shot up into the air flapping only once to gain more height before flying off to Miss Midoriya's home knowing full well that I was worrying her. I let my wings change back to the black feathers 'I can't believe that I had met Endeavor,' I thought a small smile appeared on my face before it dropped to a frown. I hope I left a good impression, and Shoto wouldn't get in too much trouble for inviting me over. My frown deepened Shoto, one of the only people that figured out that I was the one that saved that woman, how would I explain that to anyone else, that because of the simple look that women gave me made up my mind. Sighing I closed my eyes for a second feeling the wind underneath my feathers allowing my body to relax, the only thing in my mind was the woman's face. I wasn't wrong in thinking that her expression would forever be burned into my mind, it would have to be something that I would draw when I got to Izuku's home. The smell of rain grew stronger making my smile grow, as it always reminded me of my brother.
When I arrived back at Midoriya's home I was surprised to find that Miss Midoriya wasn't to worry about me coming home late but instead dinner was ready, and they were both sitting at the table eating. Smiling slightly, I took a seat next to Izuku even after I had continued to apologize for being late, telling them that I should have informed them that I would be home later than normal. After dinner I helped Miss Midoriya clean up, then quickly jumped into the bathroom for a quick shower. When I finished, I sat in my room staring at my inbox, wondering if my parents were ever going to respond to my messages. Sighing I pushed away turned the laptop off then pushed it away as I got up and crawled into bed for the first time since school started the moment my head hit the pillow I was out, though I had no nightmare I also had no dream only seeing nothing but the void darkness. Something that I welcomed like an old friend, as I slept soundly through the night.
