"I hate you." Bluntly, Bombarda deadpans breaking the still silence that had heavily hung around the three as they found themselves in the back of the room
"Aw love you too Katsu." Cheekily, Hawks winks making Bombarda's blood boil, bubble, burn.
"I told you this had nothing to do with you." Sternly, she snaps at him crossing her arms over her chest cross.
"Yeah well now it does." Unfazed, Hawks smiles softly shrugging his shoulders.
"Hawks…" Seething, Katsumi shakes, quivers, quake fury flowing through her like a volcano about to erupt…
"Okay let's all just calm down." Fatgum raises his hands up sighing at the two below him.
"Calm down? I'm not the one crashing the plan!" Poisonously, Katsumi yells enraged.
"Kat just take a breath save that energy for the fight." Fatgum advises Katsumi seething scowling pacing back and forth fuming.
"The fight?" Frowning, Hawks furrows his brow at the thought.
"Bombarda's going to be doing some fighting some matches we're going to watch intervene if necessary." Fatgum tells Hawks.
"And that's it?" Hawks raises a brow befuddled.
"No you see while Bombarda fights the showcase of trigger users a separate action squad will be busting the storage of said trigger concoctions we'll intervene if things get too far." Fatgum attempts to explain to Hawks.
"So Bombarda's the distraction since the host will be watching the match." Hawks easily catches up.
"Yep." Fatgum confirms much to Katsumi's dismay.
"So I guess we got to cheer Bombarda on, heh wonder if I should make a sign." Smirking, Hawks smirks smugly at the thought.
"Make a sign and I'll bash your skull into it until there's nothing left but splinters!" Seething, she shouts snarling at the blonde beofre her unfazed by her shark screech.
"Scary heh!" Hawks smirks snickering almost amused at her reaction.
"Come on guys we can't afford to fight this is our one chance." Calmly, Fatgum tries to be a peacekeeper.
"Fine just don't get in my way and if I see a singular feather plucked, I will beat you to a bloody pulp." Pointedly, Katsumi seethes scowling fury flowing through her vindictive veins.
"Good to know you care Bombi." Bemused, Hawks winks cheekily only making her cold crimson narrow at his shy smirk.
"Urgh…let's just get this over with…." Tiredly, Bombarda grumbles done with the pros behind her, done with the mission, done with the man-child that was Hawks as she heads to what could be her demise…
"And here we have it folks, the bombastic bomber girl has seen no sing of exhaustion no sign of defeat who will topple this goliath of a fighter?" Excitedly, the commentor cheerily cackles cheering to the high heavens alongside the joyfully joyous crowd cheering to their hearts content, sitting around them arena as Katsumi cranes her neck from side to side hearing the soft snap of bone before the fight ahead as elsewhere…
"I know her!" Happily, Hawks beams brightly as he and Fatgum in their causal clothes watch from afar in disguise, ready to intervene if necessary, keeping an eye out at the fight ahead.
"We know Hawks. Bombi be careful this guy from our reports has a shadow quirk, seems he can shift shadows into weapons or to transport himself in other places." Tiredly, Tai furrows his brow down at the giddy grin of Hawks smiling as he then presses his earpiece nestled in his ear taking out a small file from his bag, warning Katsumi of the fight ahead.
"…Right thanks Gum." Katsumi mutters brow furrowing at the male before her. The male has short grey hair with faint accents of crisp coal locks in a quiff of some sort. He wears a black coat with black trousers underneath with black combat boots, he practically became one with shadows, standing out like sore thumb funny considering the shrouding shadows he so seemingly enjoyed.
"Now as the rules go you can win either by knocking your opponent out or having them get kicked out of the ring." The commentor reminds the two as Katsumi eyes the tall tower of the iron walls around the two trapping them inside.
"Hehehehehe…" Heckling, the male grins giddily, a crazed crooked grin to his lips just as Katsumi perks up at the ring of the bell bouncing before them. Katsumi's ruby reds narrow watching on as the male grabbed in coal comes crashing down, sliding into the pool of shadows beneath him, becoming one with the shadow seeping out of his standing form, fading right before her eyes.
"And the shadow striker has vanished how will Bomber girl handle this!?" Excitedly, the commander questions as the bored Bombarda simply staring down at the ground beneath her feet, her ruby reds narrowing noting her shadow shifting. Swiftly, she leaps up high in the air making the crowd gasp taken aback as suddenly she then dives down, explosions emitting out of her palm, protruding out of her hand, bright beams of light hitting the floor below just as the head surfaces only to be swiftly slammed in the face from the hand to his face firmly shoving him down, screaming, screeching, shouting as he is soon engulfed in the fierce flames of explosions.
"And look at that reaction time! Bomber girl strikes again!" Amazed, the commenter cheers excitedly as the two turn to see smoke engulf the battlefield, the cage, shrouding the two as Tai takes note of the fans furiously at work blowing the smoke away for the crowd to continue watching seeing a fair few on the edge of their seats staring at the battle before them.
"You bi-arghhh!" Angrily, the head yells from the sludge-like pool of darkness below screaming, screeching at the straight-faced frowning Bombarda simply staring down at him before grabbing him by his hair making him screech, scream, shout to the high heavens from the sharp searing sensation of his hair being tugged as he is forced out of his pool.
"Go Bombi!" Beaming, Hawks cheers as Tai furrows his brow at the supposed spy clearly having the time of his life cheering on Bombarda. His yellows narrow noting the board in his hands with written on the once blank bored of snow white is go Bombi with a cheeky winky face and x noting a fair few perky pink hearts on it as he raises his board high in the air, his gold glistening gleaming getting rather intense, getting into the fight a tad bit too much.
"Where did you get that sign?" Skeptical, Tai's gold glare sharpen scowling down at the blonde before him, having no real clue what to make of the pro before him, having the time of his life cheering her on.
"…Magic." Mischievously, Hawks answers winking at the furrowed frown of Tai.
"…Right." Tai sighs scowling, not having the time nor real patience to deal with him, wanting to focus on the task at hand, wanting to make sure his friend comes out safe.
"What's this!? A surprise attack from shadow striker!?" Excitedly, the commentary exclaims alarming both blondes turning back to the stage where they see the thrashing flailing body of the striker screech pulling out a feeble sword shifted from Katsumi's shadow about to strike at Katsumi about to free her, only then for the male to gasp when hearing the heavy clang of metal, feeling the faint vibrations of said sword in his grasp from the blow before him now reeling back, recoiling back from the sheet density of her hand. Where was the blood? Where was the crimson currents? Where was the scream of mercy? Of it all to stop? Scowling, shadow ponders to himself only then to scream when he is swiftly slammed down, his family jewels having been christened by the shift strike of the knee hitting his family crest. He cries out, his voice cracking breaking before the audience eyes as he comes crashing down to the floor below, curling in on himself, whimpering, whining, wincing as he curls in on himself, similar to a coon almost as he weeps weakly, the tears freely falling from the broken boy beneath Bombarda's feet. Feebly, he raises his hand up in the high heavens, tapping on the ground a fair few times just as the bell rings roaring.
"Shadow striker has given up meaning Bombi goes onto the final round!" The announcer animatedly proclaims joyous as the doors behind both sides of the cage as the first aiders come rushing in, taking hold of Striker sliding him into the stretcher. They leave, tending to his injuries swirls spiraling in his eyes. Unfazed, Bombarda turns her back to the cage, heading her own way towards her own separate section where both Tai and Hawks nod at one another, following after her, going to catch up with her…
"Kat you got to be careful with this guy he's dangerous." Seriously, Tai warns Katsumi concern clear in his tone as he kneels down before Katsumi, Hawks having passed her some bottled water while Tai tries to warn her for the battle ahead as she sips her drink.
"Look all I got to do is distract him right see what I can get out of him how's things on your side going with the drug?" Katsumi asks him.
"We can't find the crates but we know they do it down here, that striker guy was known to be using it." Hawks adds.
"Seemed to me he needed more than trigger against me." Boastfully, Bombarda smirks smugly.
"You'd think that…" Tai mutters.
"Hm?" Bombarda's ruby reds narrow.
"Seems he's been skipping out on the trigger dealer according to the folks round here since then he's had a losing streak." Hawks informs the two arching a brow befuddled by how he got the info.
"So you saying I just beat up some extra." Irritated, Katsumi's ruby reds narrow.
"You beat up a guy who our undercover medics are taking for questioning." Tai reminds her.
"…Right." Katsumi sighs just as the door opens the men walking in as she nods knowing its her time to fight.
"Be careful Kat." Tenderly, Hawks squeezes Katsumi's shoulder shyly.
"If it's too much for you…" Tai begins brow furrowing.
"I'll be fine." Smirking, Katsumi assures the two as she heads out following the other suited men out towards the cage as both Hawks and Tai share a look as they go back to their places.
"So you're the big shot I got to bring down." Rappa roars slamming his fist into his open palm pounding his fist into his palm.
"And you're…tall." Casually, Katsumi looks up at him stretching her arms.
"Nice prosthetic." Rappa compliments her as she stretches said prosthetic.
"Oh…thanks? Nice…mask." Katsumi scratches the back of her neck not quite sure how to return said compliment.
"Heh to think Bombarda would be down here." Haughtily, Rappa smirks pleased.
"…I knew this wouldn't work." Bombarda flinches from it facepalming.
"Chill ya would I get it." Rappa reassures Bombarda.
"Get it?" Befuddled, Bombarda blinks baffled.
"You're sick of going easy on those villains I've seen your fights you holding back that much must be horrible!" Hollering, Rappa roars excited.
"…I…guess?" Unsure, Katsumi plays along.
"It's only healthy you need to let it out so it's cool, we can keep this safe between us, I did the same when I was younger after all." Rappa recalls.
"…Right." Katsumi glances to the side still lost.
"Right here we have it folks the final round who will win? Will our champ Rappa continue being the champ of the ring? Find out now!" Excitedly, the announcer exclaims as the bell rings and Rappa rushes in, delivering a flurry of strikes however to his surprise Katsuki dives down, sliding between his legs blasting him from the back.
"You're fast but not fast enough." Rappa remarks as the baffled Bombarda blinks by the endurance of the boxer of sorts striking at Katsuki being thrown into the caged wall, creating an indent of sorts within the metal netting.
Anxiously, Hawks drops his sign slamming his hands on either side of the railing he leans upon in front of them before, his grip tightening around the iron railing ready to strike if need to much to Tai's worry not wishing for their cover to be blown not yet anyway as he looks over at his text from Monica reporting how close they are to the crates.
"Bastard…" Katsumi growls grunting when Rappa suddenly snatches her by her leg throwing her down on the floor below making her gasp salvia spewing out of her mouth much to Hawks horror, his feathers flutter hardening alarmed at the sheer sight of Bombarda being battered, beaten, bruised even Tai shows signs of concern but he furrows his brow grinding his teeth together, clearly hating every aspect of this but this was their job, they couldn't intervene not yet…
"Don't." Tai grabs hold of Hawks wrist, gold glaring into yellow, Tai blinks baffled by the sheer intensity of Hawks glower, bloodlust emitting out of him almost as if he were about to run into the fight that is until…Tai's phone rings and…
"The hell!?" Lost, Katsumi furrows her brow befuddled when she swiftly slams her fist into the bright broad portal of yellow forming before Bombarda's very eyes, staring stunned as she leaps off the barrier, scowling at it.
"The hell's going on!?" Roaring, Rappa demands fury flowing through his veins, enraged at the barrier before him looking as astonished as Bombarda.
"Heroes are here." Surprised, the two jolt up at the voice turning to the masked blonde, calmly causally approaching, a mask upon his facial features.
"What!? LOWER THE BARRIER!" Rappa roars angry at the barrier.
"It seems our little drug trade's been a bust now come on." Tutting, the masked male exclaims unfazed by the wrathful warrior before him.
"I ain't going anywhere I got a fight to finish!" Furious, Rappa argues angrily gesturing to the lost Bombarda oblivious to the drunkard swaying form side to side, downing the bottle before him.
"Rappa think reasonably." Sternly, the masked male scolds Rappa as Bombarda grimaces at the sudden sway of her vision.
"I AM!" Angrily, he barks back as Katsumi winces from the sudden sharp sting to her temple, grimacing at the sudden blurriness in her vision.
"Clearly not…" Unamused, the masked male mutters gutting.
"The… helwl?" Slurring, Katsumi whispers brow furrowed as she feels her knees buckle before staggering slightly. Stubbornly, she grits her teeth together, slamming the flats of her boots down on the ground trying to steady herself and her weary vision, what was happening? What's going on!?
"Bombarda ca you hear me?" Katsumi grimaces at the rough ring of her earpiece.
"The cfmuk yodu think?" Tensely, Katsumi huffs grumbling under her breath bitterly sneering alarming both blondes on the other side.
"Bombarda?" Tai calls out concern clear in his tone as Katsumi's ears simply ring as she tries to stand but finds herself barely standing as she spots some guy downing some bottle snickering smirking at her struggle.
"Urgh my ehvad something's ont right...that tspdeir fucker...tghe vone cratwling oen the wwall." Scowling, she tries to talk but finds her tongue feeling as heavy as lead, feeling a faint buzz resonating within her.
"Something's not right…" Tai furrows his brow as he turns to Hawks, getting out his phone seeing Monika's reports of them doing fine sending him pictures of her and the other police participants around the cases of trigger taking them away.
"You think?" Tightly, Hawks huffs frustration flowing through his veins, panic pumping alongside it. Indistinctly, Hawks feathers stretch out of his back alarming a fair few onlookers.
"Where you going?" Tai scowls furrowing his brow at Hawks, grabbing his arm trying to stop him seeing a fair few gawk at the supposed undercover agent.
"Where do you think?" Hawks huffs brushing Tai off as he quickly folds his feathers in, instead running down the stairs towards the cage fight seeing some of the crowd cheering while others disperse fearful of the sudden change of plans.
"Hey hold on!" Tai calls out clumsily catching up to him equally as worried for Bombarda but before the two could get any closer, a sudden explosion emits in the air.
"Bombarda!" Alarmed, Hawks cries out, his gold dilating, a slit soon forming in his glaring glistening gold as he rushes down to where the cage is. Hawks takes out one of his feathers, scarlet splatters to the ground but he grits his teeth together, easily prying the cage door open. He lunges inside, rushing over to the brunette, where he finds the fighter long gone from the cage, the only one left is the buzzed brunette before him, seeing medics rushing over to her side only to be thrown back by the gale gushing out of Hawks feathers. The medic's eyes expand at the primal fierce feral look on Hawks, holding the brunette before them all, his feral fangs bare before them as they all freeze as if one wrong move and their lives would be swiftly snuffed out. Hawks looks down at the woman clutched to his chest, his heart hammering against his chest when seeing the heavy hue of ruby red across her cheeks, holding her limp form in his arms.
Don't. Touch. Her." Snarling, Hawks barks spitting poison out almost as he glares at each and every medic, his grip tightening around the brunette in his arms, vowing he would keep her safe, vowing that if they wanted to touch her they'd have to get through him, they'd have to get her out of his cold dead hands…
"Good morning you…" Masura warmly welcomes her sleepy daughter, wearing her uniform as she descends down from the stairs ready for the day perking up at the meal ready for her.
"Morning. Thanks ma." Casually, Katsumi greets her mother making her way towards the table, eating the food on display raising a brow by her baby brother not at the table.
"You're ready?" Mitsuki asks her as she eats her breakfast.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Katsumi shrugs her shoulders stating the fact firmly, ignoring her nerves nagging away at her, she couldn't afford to let her nerves slip she'd continue being in control.
"You'll be fine." Masura assures her daughter.
"Thanks where's Katsuki?" Curious, Katsumi raises a brow befuddled by the lack of her baby brother.
"Playing with his new bird friend." Chuckling, Mitsuki smirks slightly earning an arched brow by Katsumi swiftly finishing her foot before going into the living room, seeing her baby brother talk to a box in his lap.
"What'cha got there?" Intrigued, Katsumi kneels down joining her brother's side staring at the bird before her.
"Beeper." Bakugo answers as she stares stunned at the bandaged bird befuddled.
"Beeper? That's…that's an interesting name." Katsumi smiles strained trying to stop the small snicker from escaping her lips.
"He fell from a tree I'm looking after him." Katsuki tells her beaming brightly up at her.
"Oh yeah?" Softly, she smiles down at him.
"Sshh!" Suddenly, he places his forefinger to her lip perplexing her.
"What is it?" She furrow her brow befuddled by her baby brother.
"Shh Beeper saying something?" Softly, Katsuki whispers intensely only making her smile widen when hearing his words.
"Is that right? So you can speak bird now?" Bemused, she raises a brow as he leans down trying to listen to the cheery chirp of the bird below him.
"He says good luck today." Katsuki translate.
"Really? Well thank you beeper." Smiling, she nods her head at the box below.
"Katsuki is there anything you'd like to say to your sister beofre she goes?" Mitsuki asks her son smirking slightly equally as endeared as her by the bird.
"KICK THEIR ASSES!" Loudly, Bakugo bellows taking the others aback.
"KATSUKI!" Mad, Mitsuki snaps scowling at her son's outburst.
"Heh…sure." Strained, she smiles sweat dropping at her brother's enthusiasm as she turns towards her father, giving her a smalls hy smile upon his lips.
"Think you can bring back something for me?" Hopeful, Bakugo asks her.
"I doubt it but I'll see what I can do…" Gently, she places her hand on his head, ruffling up his blonde spikes before standing up and leaving, heading for the test to see if she was U.A material or not…
"Katsuki I'm h-" Katsumi calls out brow furrowing when she opens the door to her home, brow furrowing when noting the pitch blackness of her home. She furrows her brow by the soft sniffling sound making her body tense up at the still silence of sobs.
"Katsuki?" Katsumi calls out worriedly, her fingertips flexing around the leather of her strap scowling, looking around until finding her baby brother in his room tears freely flowing from him as he holds something in his hands but what…Katsumi couldn't tell.
"I didn't…I didn't mean to." Tearfully, Katsumi whimpers, sniffling sobbing,
"Katsuki what's wrong? " Concerned, Katsumi furrows her brow rushing over to her brother's side kneeling down, her hues dilating when seeing the tears freely fall.
"I…I didn't mean…" Miserably, the young Katsuki whimpers confusing Katsumi until seeing him stretch his palm out to her where her hues dilate at the scarlet streaks staining her inner palm where resting in his hands resides…
"Katsuki…" Katsumi's ruby red soften sadly at her baby brother bursting out a cry bowing his head, his temple touching her shoulder, crying his heart out.
"I didn't want to hurt it. It's wing broke and…and-" Anxiously, he tries to explain himself through his hiccups breaking her heart.
"Oh Katsuki." Softly, she slides her hand through his blonde roots, drawing patterns into his hair trying to provide some sense of comfort for her baby brother her heart aching at the sad state of Beeper.
"I didn't want to I didn't mean to…" Sniffling, Bakugo attempts to explain himself as she softly brings him into her lap, caressing, cradling her brother.
"I know sweetie I know." Softly, she whispers gently rocking him back and forth trying to help him through his grimacing at the sight of the bloodied Beeper.
"I wanted to save it I wanted to be like you." Katsuki sniffles, nestling nuzzling into her side.
"I know…but sometimes Katsuki we can't save everyone." Gently, she tries to explain to Katsuki.
"But All Might does." Katsuki argues angrily.
"I doubt he saves everyone." Katsuki disputes.
"He does All Might's the best." Katsuki states the fact firmly bringing a small smile of endearment to Katsumi's lips.
"Okay maybe he is but that doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. He's human just like you and me." Katsumi reminds him.
"But I…I didn't…I didn't mean to." Feebly, Bakugo tries to argue.
"And you think he did?" Katsumi raises a brow.
"…" Katsuki sniffles staring sadly down at the bloodied Beeper.
"Everyone's been saying how awesome my quirk is but…" Bakugo's hands begin shaking quivering, quaking making Katsumi sigh slowly closing her eyes knowing the pain well, the fear, the panic all of it as she squeezes his shoulders.
"A quirk can only get you so far Katsuki besides while this quirk may be amazing as you've seen it can just be as dangerous as it can be flashy. Which is why we need to control this quirk why we need to make sure incidents like this don't happen." Katsumi attempts to explain showing her own hand flexing her fingertips as a fair few teeny tiny explosion emit from the tips of her fingertips making his hues widen when seeing said blasts.
"…It hurts…I don't like it." Katsuki grimaces at the sharp sting to his constricted chest.
"I know Katsu…I know…" Softly, she wraps her arms tighter around her baby brother trying to help him through this time…
Protect. Protect. Protect. Keep mate safe. Keep mate safe. Keep mate safe.
"Hawks…we don't mean no harm." The voice calls out snapping Hawks out of his fevered thoughts furrowing his brow. His grip tightens around her frail form
Lies...
He invited her here. He brought her here. He had had fight. They were better staying at home, home, home, nest, nest, at their nest, at their safe space. Why did they leave? Why did he let them take her? Why did he let him take her? She belongs back in the apartment, in their home, in their nest not here. Hawks could feel panic pump through his boiling, bubbling, burning blood, gritting his teeth together, gritting, grinding them together, baring his fierce feral fangs at the numerous eyes on them. How dare they look at her like that? He saw it their sly smirks, their hungry looks, their sly snicker, their thirst was as clear as day to Hawks he hated it, it disgusted him. He hated it, he hated how they looked at her, she wasn't like them, she wasn't trying to please anyone and still they objectified her, he hated it, he hated this, he hated them all.
Never in his life had he ever wanted to kill, but this was different. Fury flowed through his veins, one that he couldn't explain, he wanted to hurt everyone involved in hurting his mate, hurting her, hurting his special one, hurting his Bombarda, hurting his hero, hurting his Katsumi…
Hawks could feel it, the feeling scared him, frightened him, terrified him even. Was this how Katsumi felt twenty four seven? Hawks didn't know all he knew was this he had to keep her safe, he has to, he could feel his grip tighten around the girl in his arms. if he was being honest, he didn't think he had an ounce of evil in his body, he never thought he was capable of having such vile thoughts. Had he killed before? Yeah. But it was never because he craved the hunt, it was for work, and every time he was a mess afterwards. But this time it was different, it was personal.
Don't. Touch. Don't. Touch. Mate. My. Mate. My. Mate. My. Mate. My. Mate. M-
"Hawks I assure you we don't mean her any harm." Honestly, Fatgum tries to reason with the blonde, his yellows widening when seeing the sheer intensity of Hawks hues seeing said slitted hues glare, glower daggers at him as if he were but a mere mouse to be swiftly snatched and devoured by Hawks.
Harm. Harm. Harm. He'll harm her,, he'll hurt her, he'll…no, no, no he can't touch her. No he can't he won't he won't hand her over he refuses. Anxiously, Hawks brings Katsumi's form closer to his, his wings spreading out flaring out.
"What should we do? He isn't responding." Unsure, Fatgum questions gently placing his forefinger to his ear in hopes of some sort of response, he had called for backup but none could arrive and even if they did he doubted they would be able to help with the puzzle presented before him or so he thought…
"Fatgum is everything al-" Taken aback, Tsukauchi falters from his steps when seeing the sight before him, seeing the evacuated stadium the people having fled from the fight, Fatgum stands before Hawks his arms around the unconscious Bombarda.
"Tsukauchi step back!" Fatgum tries to warn him.
"It's just like back then." Tsukauchi's hues widen when seeing the scene beofre him.
"Back then?" Fatgum turns to Tsukauchi confusion clear on his furrowed features.
"The police report of that extremist group burning Hawks back mentioned Hawks clinging to Bombarda refusing to leave her side, a fair few officers had been harmed in their attempt at trying to pry them off each other." Tsukauchi explains to Fatgum.
"Could this be a mutant thing?" Tsukauchi offers unsure.
"Maybe…it could be a defensive trigger. That's what the report given by Miriko mentioned something of a trigger of a defence mechanism." Muttering, Tsukauchi thoughtfully considers.
"Defence mechanism?" Fatgum furrows his brow remembering the glistening gold of Hawks hues of his eyes shifting slitted as he almost pounced upon Bombarda.
"Should we bring in the tranquilisers sir?" Scowling, Fatgum overhears on the radio.
"It may be best to leave them be." Tsukauchi considers.
"…I can't leave Kat like this not when I know she can be treated. Hawks please it's me Fatgum! You remember me!" Merrily, Fatgum approaches Hawks only to gasp jolting back by the raw red blade slashed in the air.
"Don't touch!" Seething, Hawks hisses harshly almost growling at the flabbergasted Fatgum.
"Whoa! Hey you know Katsu won't like you pulling that feather out." Fatgum points out his hues widening when seeing said flits on his hues fade returning to their murky mustard, confusion clear on his fatigued features from the sight of Bombarda below. Tsukauchi jolts up at his earpiece placing his forefingers to it listening intently to the person on the other side.
"…Kat?" Softly, Hawks whispers, his brow furrowing, concern clear on his panicked perturbed furrowed features looking over at her, his grip tightening looking worried making Fatgum sigh sadly at Hawks, looking down at the mess. He had brought both his friend and his friend's friend into. He didn't mean for this, he thought this would be right up his friend's ally but now…
"Right thanks Monika…seems Katsumi will be fine in an hour seems it was a drunk quirk of some sort." Tsukauchi reports through his earpiece.
"Drink quirk? Oh boy…Look uh Hawks Katsumi is going to be fine she's just drunk. Just go to a hotel get sorted out or whatever get her some coffee…" Unsure, Fatgum offers as Hawks simply nods his head picking up the bloodied Bombarda bridal style before brushing past the two heading outside.
"Are you sure we should have let them go like that?" Tsukauchi furrows his brow watching worriedly.
"It's fine." Fatgum assures him.
"Fatgum?" Tsukauchi raises a brow at him.
"Hawks won't hurt Katsumi hurting her would only hurt him." Honestly, Fatgum sighs as he too trails behind the two keeping a careful eye on them as they all head out, the mission completed.
Irascibly, the young blonde boy paces back and forth at the front of the door on the edge of his seat on his tippy toes much to the amusement of both Mitsuki and Masura, Mitsuki has her hand on her arm's shoulder softly smiling at the bright blonde ball of energy waiting impatiently for a letter that wasn't meant for him. His ruby reds glisten as he waits, he had woken the pair up early much to their horror but the boy insisted or else he'd refuse to sleep until he was the first one to see said results.
Surprised, the blonde blur gasps as the smooth slick sound of an envelope slides into the slot I the door. The boy lunges towards the snow-white envelope tugging it out of the petrified postman quickly fleeing from the giggly demon child within who rushes up the staircase towards the room above unaware of the small smiles of endearment upon both Mitsuki and Masaru's lips as they both slowly stand, following after the younger one of the two towards the same destination.
"Kaaaat! Kaaat!" Excitedly, the beaming blonde lunges into the room beofre bouncing upon the bed of the sleeping brunette.
"Oi Katsuki!" Mad, Mitsuki snaps scowling at her son.
"Um how about we just…?" Meekly, Masura begins but soon falters from the still silence in return, the others easily ignoring her.
"It's here! It's here! It's here!" Happily, the young Bakugo tugs at the duvet draped over the older form of Katsumi.
"Wha…what is?" Lowly, the muffled moans of the brunette slammed into the plump pillow below grumbles under her breath.
"Get up! Get up!" The angry ball orders tugging, pulling twisting the sheet beneath his feet.
"Urgh so much effort…" Smirking, Katsumi turns her back to the boy gasping as he comes crashing down on his butt. Bakugo puffs his cheeks out angrily as he jolts up fuming.
"Geeeetttt uuuuuppp!" Angrily, Bakugo snaps scowling grabbing hold of the duvet trying to tug it off the bed but…
"Who dareth awaken the sleeping beast!? The early for such a crime is tickles!" Boisterously, Katsumi declares smirking smugly as she suddenly swiftly snatches the blonde boy on her bed, making the boy screech taken aback as next he knew he was flailing about, cackling tears in his eyes as his parents watched on fondly.
"NO IT'S U.A ! IT'S U.A!" Bakugo wails a disc in his hand before her, said disc catches her attention as her crimson currents catch onto the slick silver disc.
"U.A? Alright, alright I'm up I'm up." Sighing, Katsumi stops herself taking the disc in hand as she spots her parents drawing near as Bakugo sits on her lap, watching on as the teacher on the other side tells her of her passing making the family cheer joyous at her victory and at her first completed hurdle towards U.A towards being a hero.
"Look relax this is nothing we need to worry about." Fatgum sighs smiling strained at the eerily silent Hawks, Fatgum not liking it one bit on edge, to see Hawks so focused as the soft click of the door announces Hawks who leaves the bedridden Katsumi, hearing the faint static spewing out from the TV behind him in the spare room.
"You're sure about that?" Hawks scowls, his grip tightening around the doorknob concern clear on his furrowed features.
"Yeah Kat's a emotional drunk." Smiling, Fatgum reveals to Hawks.
"And you know this?" Warily, Hawks hues narrow at the blonde.
"I may have gotten her a bit tipsy when she first reached drinking age." Teasingly, Tai jokes lightly at the memory as he takes a seat on the sofa.
"Why?" Hawks scowls slowly sitting down on the sofa opposite of Tai.
"Why not? It was her birthday besides it was fun. I kept an eye on her." Tai assures Hawks.
"I'm sure." Snippily, Hawks huffs his golds glaring, glowering to the side slitted slightly making Tai tense up at the sight of said slitted eyes.
"See that, that isn't going to win you any favours." Frowning, Tai points towards his hues.
"What do you mean?" Mystifed, Hawks furrows his brow befuddled.
"You really need to stop this whole jealousy thing, Katsumi ain't the type to find that attractive anyone telling her who she can't and can't see or judges her friends tends to get exploded." Frankly, Fatgum tells Hawks scratching the back of his neck bowing his head.
"…Right." Sighing, Hawks closes his eyes brow furrowing.
"I'm guessing things are weird for you right now." Frankly, Fatgum assumes.
"You could say that….say…how thick-headed is she?" Curious, Hawks asks quirking his head to the side baffled. He knew how he could be sometimes but after this, was it bad for his hopefulness to think that maybe she wouldn't see it as anything more than friendship?
"Look I'll tell you this much no matter how big the blast no matter how powerful Katsumi's blast is nothing can break how oblivious she is." Bluntly, Fatgum deadpans making Hawks smile shyly, a part of him relieved at the thought ignoring the brief sharp sting to his chest constricting at the thought.
"But why is she like that?" Baffled, Hawks asks stunned, he never met a woman so….so oblivious. Sure he had seen some shows showing some characters to be but those were just characters on TV this was another level…
"It's just how she is, she tends to see things through blockers, only focusing on the job you know? Or the task at hand." Honestly, Fatgum confesses shrugging his shoulders, he knew how Kat was, the idea of romance or love was never her first priority to be honest he pondered if it was her last with the way she was…
"Doesn't she plan ahead?" Astonished, Hawks questions lost.
"Sure when its stuff but when it comes to stuff like emotions, that's a whole other battlefield Katsumi doesn't fare well with." Fatgum chuckles amused at the fact she was a fighter not a lover. She had no clue about emotions it wasn't that she was selfish that she didn't care it's just that she could be so focused on something she could disregard a lot of stuff whether it be people's feelings or the dangers ahead so long as the ends justified the means she did not care.
"You mean her default emotion being anger." Hawks leans back on the sofa.
"Yeeeah…eh like I can talk I had quite the temper when I was younger." Fatgum chuckles lowly under his breath by the memory.
"You did?" Hawks raises a brow.
"Yeah, Kat and I would end up fighting nonstop it wasn't until our mentor taught us patience and control that we managed this anger of sorts." Smiling, Fatgum recalls his teachers teachings, they helped him a lot he wouldn't be the person he was if not for him…
"What would you fight about?" Curious, Hawks asks he never did ask about Katsumi's mentor it seemed to lead to murky memories for her.
"How we dealt with an issue or well…it was mainly me back then." Fatgum exclaims.
"You?" Hawks raises a brow befuddled.
"I…back then I barely got a grasp on my quirk I remember as a kid questioning if I had a quirk at all so when I find out a girl like Katsumi was joining us I guess I got a bit jealous." Fatgum considers.
"Jealous?" Hawks blinks baffled.
"She had complete control of her quirk, a very powerful quirk it sort of felt like I was…well…" Awkwardly, Fatgum smiles sheepishly sweat sliding down his tense temple.
"You were jealous." Hawks catches on.
"Yeah you could say that. Heh I remember Kat having no time for me due to that but when Kazz forced us to have a talk, I learned why she had such a control over her quirk." Fondly, Fatgum recalls smiling shyly at the memory scratching the back of his neck.
"…" Sternly, Hawks furrows his brow at Fatgum further furrowing at the thought of her. He remembered well their talk back at the park…
"I take it she told you?" Fatgum gathers.
"Bits and pieces." Aloofly, Hawks shrugs his shoulders at the memory.
"Kat has always been scared of her quirk scared to hurt people with it it's why she became a hero so she could learn to control it just as she tries to control her anger with you Hawks she's scared of hurting you." Factually, Fatgum tells Hawks.
"But…" Hawks begins brow furrowing.
"Kat may not look it but she's sensitive she cares a lot for the rare few that sneak through the gap of that wall of hers deep down. So you shouldn't question if you matter to her when it's clear you do." Fatgum explains to him.
"But compared to you?" Hawks' hues narrow.
"…Look I see Kat as my little sister okay? Whatever you see her as that's on you but you can't force her to feel the same way no matter how pushy you are you can't change someone's feelings." Firmly, Fatgum tells him.
"Thanks Fatgum…" Hawks smiles softly at him.
"I didn't do this for you, I did it for Katsumi." Firmly, Fatgum snaps sharply taking Hawks aback by the cold curt glare of the surprisingly fuming Fatgum giving him a warning glare as just then…
"Breaking news USJ has just been attacked class 1A has been attacked by villains!"
"H-Huh? MOTHERF-" Mad, the bombastic bellow of an explosion emits in the air making both blondes grimace at the brunette before them now wide and awake with the news of the USJ incident.
"Okay that we may need to worry about." Truthfully, Tai tells Hawks gesturing lazily with his mug mentally preparing himself for dealing with the drunk mess that was his friend.
*So...Hawks went a bit...crazy there what did you think of his talk with Fatgum?*
