A/N: Hello! I am so sorry I have not been as consistent this past month. With testing, end of the school year, moving, and more with life, writing just hasn't gotten the time it should have. (Note I am posting this Midnight my time). Please forgive me and be patient with me Summer should provide some bit of stability. Any way… enjoy this chapter. I've been excited to write this out for a while. I want to know all of your thoughts!

Chapter 28

Sora continued to go to school. Tokoyami returned to the dorms. Everything fell into a comfortable routine. A month passed and school for class 1-A continued as normal until Aizawa made an announcement one morning.

"It is once again time to contact internships. This next week it is imperative you all make an impression with these heroes. You will need their recommendations to advance your provisional licenses."

Momo raised her hand. "Sir, don't we need a recommendation in a few years?"

"That you will. But what looks even better than a simple recommendation is a recommendation from a repeated mentor. Some of you will already have this, but some of you," the teacher stared at Kaminari and Ashido, "will need to make sure you can get a positive review."

"Why are you looking at us?" Kaminari and Ashido cried out.

"Your internships will be a weeklong. For those of you who need contacts, I have provided a list. If you have a contact, you may leave and reach out now. The rest of your classes will be suspended until the end."

Fumikage stood up along with Kirishima, Todoroki, Tsu, Ochaco, and Bakugou. The small portion of students left the room as Aizawa pulled up a list of contacts for each student.

"Are you looking forward to spending time with Sora?" Tsu asked Fumikage.

"Of course, though I will be spending most of my time with Hawks."

"Are you alright with that?" Tsu asked. "I know last we spoke you were rather frustrated with him."

Fumikage nodded his head. "I was. My frustration stemmed from concern. Sora has been happier though. The past month has shown me that this was the best decision. From talks with Hawks, we can joke as well. Our relationship has changed. I don't feel like my anger is quite as valid as it once was."

"Tsc. You shouldn't have to validate worrying about your sister," Bakugou muttered.

"Right," Fumikage nodded. "Thank you again for picking up Sora from school yesterday."

"Ha! Pipsqueak thought it was the best thing in the world." Bakugou boasted.

Fumikage smiled. "I'm sure she did."

They made it to the dorm. Fumikage backed up what he would need with the help of Dark Shadow. He left the dorm, went to the train station and rode to his guardian's home. He kept i mind clear of thought, until h hopped off the train and began to walk towards the building.

"Do you think I should have called Hawks?" Fumikage thought to his quirk.

"You have a key for a reason. This is technically your home as well," Dark Shadow reminded him.

Fumikage pulled out the key from his pocket. He unlocked the door, pushed it open, and stepped in. "Home sweet home," he mumbled.

Dark Shadow crawled over Fumikage's shoulder. "Now what?"

The teen took out his phone to check the time. It was four in the afternoon. Sora would be out of school soon, and that meant Hawks would be home with her as well. "I suppose I could surprise everyone with dinner." Dark Shadow agreed. They placed their items down before moving to the kitchen, looking for something to make.

Sora waited with Fuyumi in the classroom. She had become used to the fact that her classmates would leave and walk home while she remained in the classroom for another ten to thirty minutes. This was fine. It gave her plenty of time to complete her homework. Sometimes she would finish it and Fuyumi could grade it for her before she was picked up. She had just received a perfect score on her current assignment when Hawks walked in.

"Hey, Red! How was school?" The winged hero asked as he walked in the room.

Sora grabbed the freshly graded paper and rushed over to the hero. He picked her up and held her to his side with one arm. "Look! I got them all right!"

Hawks looked at the paper and slide. "You're so smart, Red." Come on, let's get going." He sent a feather to grab Sora's backpack. "Say goodbye to Fuyumi."

"By sensei!" Sora waved to the teacher as the hero carried her out the door.

Once outside the building, Hawks spread his wings and the pair lifted into the sky. After a few minutes of flight, the two landed outside the home. Hawks unlocked the door and two came in. They froze.

Hawks moved in front of Sora. He could hear someone moving in the house. He could smell… chicken? Were they cooking?

Sora sniffed the air and smiled. "That's chicken ketsu. Fumi is here!"

As if on command, Fumikage emerged wearing a white apron. He held a large pan with two hot pans. "I made dinner," the teen said.

Hawks sighed. "Next time, you are coming home, call. I thought we had an intruder."

"Apologies," Fumikage said with a slight bow. He then motioned to the table. "I've already set the table."

"Yay!" Sora raced over to the table.

"Man, this is some treat, Fumikage. Thank you." Hawks sat down as Fumikage served the chicken. Rice, soy sauce, and vegetables accompanied the meal.

All three happily ate. Fumikage sat beside Sora, assisting her with filling her plate. She chattered about her day at school the Hawks and Fumikage. Once the girl paused to chew her full mouth, Hawks adjusted the conversation towards Fumikage.

"What brings you home, Fumikage?"

Fumikage flinched internally. Even Hawks had called this his home. He really needed to adjust. "We have been instructed to peruse another weeklong work study. We are to build up relationships and recommendations with already connected heroes."

Hawks couldn't hide the smile on his face. It was as if Fumikage was finally accepting him. "So, you came back home to intern with me."

Fumikage wasn't sure how to respond to the Hawk's statement. He seemed so ecstatic. "I hope you don't mind. I have improved so much under your tutelage."

"Mind? I'm thrilled! We have so much to discuss."

Fumikage raised an eyebrow. "I'm glad that this is welcomed."

"And then you can spend time with me," Sora said.

"Indeed," Fumikage said to his sister.

The next day, Fumikage and Hawks dropped Sora off at school. "See you later, Red!" Hawks said with a wave.

"Bye Hawks! Bye Fumi!" Sora waved as she raced into the building.

"She seems very happy at school," Fumikage noted.

"She is much happier in general," Dark Shadow spoke from within.

"Do you remember the patrol route, Tsukoyomi?" Hawks asked.

The teen nodded. "We covered it several times."

"Excellent! Keep your eye peeled. I want to do the first part as a quick scan. We'll meet atop the clock tower. Let's go!" Hawks spread his wings and leapt into the sky.

"We can't let him get too far ahead, Dark Shadow," Fumikage said.

"Agreed." Dark Shadow emerged from his back and encased the teen in his dark body in their Black Ankh move.

They swung from light post to light post, watching the civilians move around. He stayed close to Hawks, moving opposite to make sure the pair could cover more ground. Fumikage saw a few students squabbling over a game when they passed by a school. The faster he moved, the closer to the center to the city, he moved. An hour passed and Their route was complete. They finally reached the clock tower, only a moment after Hawks.

"Did you see anything?" Hawks asked.

Fumikage shook his head as his quick dove back in its host chest. "Just a simple squabble of children while playing a game.

"That's expected." Hawks squatted down and looked out into the city. "Let's watch from here for a bit before taking another look. It is early."

Fumikage moved beside his guardian. "It's nice when the city has a moment of peace."

Hawks nodded in agreement. "Fumikage, does Shoji know you can cook?"

"What?" Fumikage didn't expect such a personal question. He stared at his mentor, who was flashing a giant cheesy grin. "No?"

"You're going to have to invite him over sometime this week so he can see you cook."

"This isn't a vacation, Hawks. We are completing this week for academic and licensure purposes."

Hawks patted him on the back. "Yeah, but you could totally impress your boyfriend."

"Is this how you keep Fuyumi around?" Fumikage teased.

Hawks laughed. "You're too much. Ready to do another lap?"

Hawks stretched out his wings and Dark Shadow covered Fumikage. Just as the two were about to jump from the tower, something sounding like the crack of lightning sounded, halting the people in the surrounding area. A large black portal opened, and a set of long thin blades shot out from the hole. A man wrapped head to two in black pleather looking clothes poked his head out of the hole. A large mouthpiece kept his mouth wide and open.

"Flesh! So much flesh! Where to start? How to start? Freedom was bosses reward. Got to do the job. Got to kill them all."

"Shit," Fumikage gasped.

Hawks stared at the man, then towards Fumikage. Do you know this one?"

"Moonfish. He attacked my class while we were training at camp last summer," Fumikage explained. "He escaped death row then and looks like he made his escape once more."

"Death row…" Hawks' voice dropped as he saw the villain's toothy grin shoot out towards civilians. He pulled out his long, feather swords and leapt off the tower. "Get the civilians, I will distract him!" Hawk quickly sped off as he charged at the villain.

"Hawks! No! Don't charge at him!" Fumikage's voice was not fast enough to catch up with his mentor.

Dark Shadow wrapped itself around its host's body. "Fly?"

"We must! Especially if we are to have any chance at keeping speed!" Fumikage jumped off the building and dove towards the ground.

He swooped through the air and grazed the ground. Citizens were pulled left and right and tossed into nearby buildings. It was all Fumikage could do to the crowd as Hawks attempted to distract the villain. If Hawks focused on Moonfish, then he could focus on the civilians. Fumikage reached out and pulled an elderly man out of the way of a long, thin blade extruding from the villain's mouth. Moonfish looped his legs over his head, staring at Fumikage while upside down. Hawks has nowhere to be seen.

"You," Moonfish laughed at the widened red eyes. "You took that pretty flesh His innards… they were mine!" More toothy blades shot towards the bird-headed teen.

Fumikage flung that civilian out of the way and darted down an emptied street. He whipped off his cloak. "Dark Shadow, Black Fallen Angel!"

Dar Shadow wrapped its arms around Fumikage and lifted him into the air. "He recognized us," Dark Shadow thought.

"I don't think that is a good thing," Fumikage said. "Did you see where Hawks went?"

"No sign of him. We need to be careful."

Those words were spoken too late. Fumikage yelled in pain as a blade sliced into his calf and out through his shin. The teen fell to the ground, hitting his head hard on the pavement. His vision blurred as metal scrapped against the ground. He heard Dark Shadow yell. Another pain as a blade sliced through Fumikage's arm. He felt cold. The world was fading from. He looked up Moonfish, only to see a large, red feather swing in and topple the villain to the ground. Fumikage couldn't hold it anymore. He closed his eyes and sunk into the cold sleep.

"It's been over an hour."

Sora's concern came out as just a whisper, but Fuyumi knew what the young girl said. Sora sat her desk, hugging her backpack, staring at the door. Hawks had never been this late to pick Sora up. Not even the times the teens had come for her involved this much waiting. Fuyumi was just grateful she had cash to get food from the vending machine.

"I'm sure everything is fine," the teacher said to the girl.

"But they are heroes," Sora said. "They could be hurt. I can't help them if I'm here."

Fuyumi sat in the seat beside Sora. Their time together had allowed her to get closer, but she still required some space between herself and Sora. "It's not your responsibility to help them."

"Then who will?" Sora asked.

"I've had these worries. I'm the oldest, so I have always taken care of my brothers. Did I ever tell you my dad is Endeavor?"

Sora's eye shot open. "Hawks loves Endeavor. No wonder he loves you."

Fuyumi coughed, covering her blush. "Well, I'm used to waiting for heroes. They will be alright."

At that moment, a tired, poorly shaped Hawks kicked in the front door. "Hey."

"Hawks!" Sora sprinted to the man and gave him a tight embrace. "I was worried."

Hawks smirked and hugged the girl back tightly. "I'd come get you eventually."

"Where is Fumi?" Sora asked. "And why are you late?"

"Hero business. You know, where there is a really big fight, you just got to… fight."

Sora's breath hitched. "If Fumi hurt?"

"It's not that bad," Hawks said with a shrug. "Now, why don't we go see him. Say thank you."

"Thank you, Sensei! See you later." Sora waved as Hawks dragged the girl out of the room.

"See you tomorrow, Sora," Fuyumi replied with a wave.

Sora tripped forward. It wasn't like Hawks to drag her. He was rather silent as they walked outside. "Are you mad, Hawks?"

"I'm not mad, Sora," Hawks said.

Sora frowned. Since when did Hawks call her Sora? Something was off. He wasn't his normal, excited self. They walked in silence to the first crosswalk. Sora's eyes grew large "Hawks doesn't like to walk."

Something was off. What could she do? Was Hawks hurt? Is that why he is so not like himself? If he was hurt, wouldn't he tell her so he could be fixed. Something isn't adding up. She dropped her backpack and opened it up.

"What are you doing?" Hawks asked.

Sora stuck her hand deep in the bag. "I'm… I'm looking for my pencil," she said.

"Why do you need a pencil now? Hawks asked.

"It's, my favorite pencil," Sora said with a muffled voice. She dug around, but finally saw what she was looking for. The black G.P.S. that her brother had given her was at the bottom of the bag. She pressed the button. "Okay, I have it. We can go."

Hawks rolled his eyes. "Good. I am tired. Keep up, kid."

Sora followed Hawks across the street. This was so strange. He was not acting like himself. Sora wasn't used to walking around the streets. Hawks moved quickly so she had to jog to keep up. She weaved through the crowd. Finally, Hawks turned right at an alleyway. Sora raced in but the stopped.

In the Alley, the scary scarred man that had tried to get her before was waiting besides Hawk. Hawks was melting like a hot candle, revealing the body of a young, blond girl. Sora tried to step back but was immediately grabbed by the scarred man. Out from behind them, a magician like man with a mask stepped out. He twirled glass marble balls in his hand, and he reached towards Sora.

"Don't worry," Dabi said. "This won't hour a bit."

Sora closed her eyes as the magician reached out and touched her on the head.
