A/N: Hello! Than you all for your patience! This is State testing month. I have no clue when I will be able to write seeing as I am arriving at home much later, thus cutting out my usual writing time. So, I promise this has an ending thought out. I didn't intend that this section would be a full chapter's length, but I guess I surprised myself. (It's hard to see how much you have written when typing on your phone).

Pleas let me know what you think. What are your predictions for the future? Also, do you think Sora should grow up to Be a Hero? Would she be a good hero?

Please share your thoughts and comment!

Love you all, Traditional Twist.

Chapter 26

Fumikage gave up on sleep. There was too much frustration for him to rest. Dark Shadow had dwelled deeper within him, letting Fumikage have this time to think by himself. There was plenty of thinking done. Fumikage decided to place himself in Hawks' shoes. He thought about what he had said to Fuyumi. He also thought about the fact that Hawks was the number two hero. Fumikage came to the conclusion that anyone who was in the public's eye would be vulnerable to a home invasion.

The teen still felt angry. He couldn't continue to sit while Sora had been in such danger. He needed to be productive. He stared at the knocked over fire pit on the floor. Some of the pieces of the stand had fallen, and now it was shifted. So, as Sora slept with her head phones over her ears, he began to pick up the pieces of her fire pit. An hour passed as he finished the piece.

Dark Shadow emerged from Fumikage's chest as the teen started the fire pit. "You fixed it?"

Fumikage nodded. "I did."

"Do you plan on fixing more things?"

Fumikage looked around the room. He spotted several boxes of unfinished and unopened furniture. "I guess I'll start with those."

He slid over to the unboxed furniture. He stared at the picture on the front before tearing open the package from the side and removing the contents. Dark Shadow assisted, pulling out different pieces and organizing them into groups of congruent shapes.

What started off as a five in the morning project, turned into a nine in the morning completion. With his quirk's assistance, Fumikage was able to assemble all the remaining furniture in Sora's room, as well as organize the few items that show owned. By a quarter past nine Fumikage had made the room look as if Sora had lived there for years.

Dark Shadow cooed as his host scarred his chin. "I know you are still angry, but why did you set up the room?"

Fumikage sighed. "I'm not sure. Maybe because it was something to do?"

"It's not because you do trust Hawks despite this unfortunate predicament.

"Most teens don't have a creature so close to their subconscious," Fumikage muttered. "Now I don't even feel like my anger is valid."

"It is," Dark Shadow assures the make. "You can be mad at someone you trust. You don't have to hate him."

"Are you really sure about that?" The teen asked. "Anger is an acid that sleeps through all relationships."

"That doesn't mean that they can't be repaired. Think about all this romantic comedy movies Hagakure has made the class watch."

"There is something flawed with that thinking," Fumikage said to the quirk. "All the protagonists would do whatever they could for love. Would Hawks do the same?"

"Do you think Hawks wouldn't do what it takes for you and Sora?"

"I'm saying I know I would put my life on the line for my sister. I don't care if Hawks won't sacrifice for me. Sora on the other hand…" Fumikage's voice faded.

Silence fell on the pair. The first day's light crept into the room. Fumikage yawned and Dark Shadow nudged the teen. "You should try to sleep. Even just a nap."

Fumikage nodded and moved carefully into the bed. He was as careful as he possibly could to not disturb Sora. He laid down on his back, quirk diving back into the body. As the teen closed his eyes, he did not notice the small yellow eyes that had been watching him build the

Sora waited until she knew her brother was asleep. She crawled off the bed and tiptoed around the room. A silent gasp of awe filled her eyes as she was able to finally see what her brother had been doing. She had kept her headphones on but turned her music off when Fumi had gotten out of bed. She didn't want him to know he work her up. Besides, she was curious as to what he was talking about with Dark Shadow. Her heart sank to know that he didn't trust Hawks like she did.

Sora crept out of the room and into the hallway. She didn't know what time it was, but it was clear that it was early by the silence of the home. She didn't want to be alone, not after what just happened, but her brother was not an option. So, she went to her only other option, Hawks.

The door to Hawks room cracked open. Sora followed the light to the large bed. "Hawks?" She squeaked. The bed was empty.

Her heart began to race. She turned on the light to the room a darted around. The bed was still made. She ducked under the bed and saw only the other side of the room. She began to hyperventilate. Hawks had left her. Maybe she didn't heal him well enough? Maybe he was mad like Fumi?

Worried tears filled her eyes. She sprinted out of the room and down the hallway. The living room light was on. As her feet patted against the ground, Sora began to outwardly sob. The whole room was a blur with tears. Suddenly something red collided with her face.

"Red?" Hawks' sleepy voice said as he caught the child in his wing. "Are you alright?"

"Hawks!" Sora cries out. She Wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.

Hawks picked the girl up and held her tight. "Hey, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

"I… thought… you… left… me," Sora said between sniffles.

A strong hand stroked Sora's head. "What? I wouldn't leave you."

"You weren't in your room," Sora explained

"Sora!" A deep voice boomed with panic from the other room. Fumikage came racing out of the room. "Sora! What's wrong? I'm here!"

"Fumi!" Sora began to cry harder. She released her hands from Hawks and stretched them out to her brother.

Fumikage grabbed her and tightly wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay," He said, nuzzling his beak against her head.

"Hawks wasn't in his room and I thought he left us!" Sora's words, though more coherent, were now much louder wails.

Fumikage closed his eyes and gently exhaled. Hawks wasn't sure if the teen was relieved or frustrated. When his red eyes opened, they peered directly in Hawks' soul.

"Hawks is here. He didn't leave us."

"I'm sorry I scared you, Red. I fell asleep on the couch," Hawks explained.

"He fell asleep talking to Fuyumi," Fumikage mumbled.

"How did he know about Fuyumi?" Hawks thought with a twinge of panic. It was clear the teen had some sort of skill for espionage. "The point is I didn't mean to scare you. That wasn't my intent."

"Is there ever something you intend to do?" Fumikage.

"Who's Fuyumi?" Sora asked.

"Hello."

A three bird members turned to the red- and white-haired woman awkwardly sitting on the couch. She waved, smiling sweetly.

Sora stiffened with fear. She pressed herself against her brother. She didn't know there was a girl here. She didn't want a girl to see her so scared.

Fumikage hugged his sister as she began to shake. His eyes flared at Hawks; whose guilty expression showed this was not something meant to happen. He needed to do something to calm Sora.

"Are you by chance related to Shoto Todoroki?" Fumikage asked.

Fuyumi nodded. "He's my youngest brother."

"You know Fuyumi's brother, Sora. He's the guy with red and white hair in my class."

Sora turned to look at Fuyumi once again. She looked at her grey eyes, the splotches of red in her hair. "She's Icey-Hot's sister?"

Fumikage nodded, and Hawks placed a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing at the ridiculous name. "Yes."

"Why is she here?" Sora asked.

"Because I needed help," Hawks admitted. "I need to make sure I can protect you. Fuyumi is really good with kids."

"I'm a teacher," Fuyumi explained. "I actually teach kids that are your age. I suggested we see if you would want to come to school with me?"

"And you would be my teacher?" Sora's voice squeaked.

Hawks looked first at Sora, and then at Fumikage. Sora was clearly scared. Fumikage was harder to read. Was he mad? Doubtful? Unsure? His unwavering face relayed no information. Hawks did the only thing he could think to do, show Sora Fuyumi was safe.

"Red, Fuyumi is probably the only person I trust to know everything about me." Fuyumi's face flushed as Hawks spoke. "She isn't bad. She's better than Endeavor. And, look, I know she is a girl, but she won't hurt you. I've never seen her hurt anyone. She just wants to help. She can help. She's a teacher. If you are in her class, then you are with someone safe in a safe place during the day."

Sora had stopped shaking but she continued to hold onto Fumikage. Her eyes were red from crying. A lot had happened for that small child.

"Sora." Fuyumi sat up and straightened her hair. "I know to you I am a very strange person. I don't blame you for not trusting me. Just try and trust Hawks. I work at a school. My job is to keep kids safe. I promise you, that if I did anything bad, I would not have a job."

"You don't know me," Sora stated.

"You are right, I don't."

"Then why do you want to help me?"

Sora's question baffled the woman. How could someone so tongue be so suspicious of the world. "Because if I help you, then I'm helping Hawks. And that's all I want to do."

"How is helping me help Hawks?"

"Hawks is very concerned about taking care of you. If there is someone after you, he wants to make sure you are safe. If there is any way I can do that, then I can help both of you at once."

"You really think school will be the safest place for her?" Fumikage asked. "A villain just broke into your home and attacked you and her. How is school the best idea?"

Hawks frowned. "Because if she's at school I can look for the bastard that broke in."

"Hawks!" Fuyumi scolded.

"But what if you get hurt again?" Sora asked Hawks.

"I don't think he can pull the same move on me twice," the winged hero said with a smirk.

"If you get hurt, can I still help heal you? I want to help you too, Hawks."

Hawks smiled and patted the girl on her head. "Of course, Red."

Fuyumi looked at the clock. "Hawks, do you still have those spare outfits of mine in your closet?"

"Yeah, why?"

Fuyumi stood up. "I think I will need to get dressed here and head to school. If you all get dressed, then we can meet my principal as soon as the school opens. Sora May even be able to start today."

"Would you want that?" Fumikage asked Sora. "It is your choice. Star what you want."

Hawks nodded. "It is your decision. Do you want to go to school possibly today?

Sora looked at each person's face. This was a lot of pressure. What she wanted was to feel safe. She wanted the arguing to end, and for everyone to be happy. So, Sora nodded. "I want to go."

Fuyumi clasped her hands. "Then It's settled. We leave in twenty."
