Two weeks had passed since Endeavor defeated the noumu. Hawks' wings had finally grown back to normal and decided to contact Dabi for anything he could do. He was told to meet up with a "Sparrow" at the same abandoned building as before. They still don't trust him with the location of headquarters. When he had arrived, He looked inside and saw the same woman that was with Dabi before. So this is Sparrow… she was leaning against one of the columns staring off into space with two small parcels on the floor beside her.
Hearing footsteps Sparrow was snapped out of her daze and waved Hawks over, "Well if it isn't the No.2 Hero coming to do the villains dirty work~" she chuckled before pushing herself off the column to stand fully in front of him. She was rather short, probably just barely reaching 5 feet and her mahogany colored wings dragged on the floor below her.
"Well, you guys don't trust me so it's understandable," he said with a shrug, "What do
I have to do?"
"My name's Sparrow,you'll be working with me for now until Dabi says otherwise," she reached in the pocket of her jacket and held out a choker and tossed it towards Hawks, "put that on," He raised his brow as he stared at what seemed like a feminine accessory. He looked up at Sparrow and saw that she was wearing the same one, "Part of the uniform," Sighing, Hawks put on the choker and heard a small beep.
"Why did it make a beep noise?" Hawks asked, a bit startled.
"I'll explain that in a bit, I have to explain what your job is first," she said lifting the bags that looked sealed shut, "I am the one in charge of getting important information to where it needs to be," Hawks ears perked with the new information. This was perfect, the source of information he needs is right in front of him and it was all in those bags, "now, see these bags?" she pointed towards them, "These bags have alarms on them. It will signal HQ that it is being opened before it gets to its destination and will detonate this choker, "She pointed at the choker, " to explode!" to emphasize the dire situation she made an explosion motion with her hands and spread out her wings. Well there goes that thought so this is why Dabi decided to make me work for her! He's just dangling what I need in front of me!
"So I just have to get these bags from point A to point B… got it… but why are you wearing it? I mean you're in charge aren't you?" Suddenly, she tossed one of the bags towards him, which he caught in a panic scared for his life, "HEY! My life is on the line right now!"
"Well, you're right, I don't have to wear the collar, but just in case you somehow override yours, then mine will explode," Sparrow said with a sickening smile.
"Wait, so if I for some reason open these bags, WHICH I WON'T, BOTH our heads will explode," she nodded so calmly, "You sure you should be doing this? I mean if I was able to override the collar, then you'd be in danger?"
"Then I'll just have to trust that Winged Hero Hawks actually cares about my life," she slung the bag over her shoulder and walked towards one of the broken windows, "Now come on, I'll show you your routes, Oh and don't worry, once you're done with the job for the day it'll come off on its own."
"That totally makes me feel better…" he muttered before following her out the window and into the sky.
They flew in complete silence besides the roaring winds as they sped by. Hawks took this time to observe her new "boss" which kind of freaked him out. She was wearing a jacket similar to his but darker and had less fur, dark khaki shorts while wearing black leggings under, and light brown combat boots. She seemed pretty calm for someone who is almost being held hostage. Who would put their lives on the line for someone that should obviously not be trusted? "So Dabi just tells people to risk their lives?" he yelled over the winds.
"If you're talking about me wearing a death choker, then it was my idea to do it," she yelled over her shoulder, "If you're trustworthy then I have nothing to worry about," this made Hawks think over his possible plans. There this woman is, her mind full of information that he needs right in front of him. All he needed to do was get it out of her. There are plenty of ways to get that from her. Torture? Left a bad taste in his mouth, and wasn't the hero thing to do. Blackmail? He barely knew her, and he'd have to find out her full name which would take him a while to find from just what she looked like. That left one more option. Persuasion.
Hawks knew he was an attractive man; he didn't deny it. His fanbase is dominated by the female audience. And it wouldn't be that bad, she was a good looking woman. Persuasion wouldn't be the worst option even though she works for the villains, "We're here!" she yelled, taking Hawks out of his thoughts. She dove down with Hawks behind him and landed in front of what looked like another abandoned building. Jeez do they meet up at other places besides an abandoned building? "Since we don't trust you yet, we'll be placing the bags here in here," Sparrow walked inside and placed the bag in the middle of the room Well, then I can just tell some heroes to grab the bags when we leave, "don't even bother about telling your hero buddies where these bags are, bags themselves burn whatever's inside if they're opened outside the time stamps they're supposed to open." nevermind… wait is she reading my mind? She have a mind reading quirk?
Just as Hawks placed the bag next to the other one, there was a beep on both their chokers as it loosened and fell off their necks. He rubbed his neck thankful that the necklace of death was off his neck, and off hers as well, "Well, we should head back then No.2, don't want to keep Dabi waiting."
"That's it?"
"Well that was all the things they handed me to deliver, so yeah."
"So there are other places that these parcels need to be delivered to?"
"Yeah, once we trust you a bit more, you might end up with more trading routes," if there's more than one trading route that means there's more than one base… that doesn't sit well with me…
"I look forward to working with you then," He said with a small gentleman's bow. Wasn't much information but it's a start.
