Everything feels like background noise to him— the chatter of the heroes, the Commission Board, and the World Hero Association Members' voices faintly echo around the room. Sound of taping and computer humming too, all blending into one. The meeting has been going on for hours now. Not even his own father's voice calm and authoritative was able to pull him from his thoughts as the X-Men from the Xavier's School for the Gifted joins the fray.

Hawks looks at the open Manila folder in front of him slim with single slip of paper nestle inside its folds writen instructions of the assigned destination. Otheon now?

For the last two months, reports have been circulating about a group working to rid the world of quirks, one attack has happened already many lives lost from it. The Doomsday theory. These guys need to be stopped if we want a future. Hawks frowns, leans back the chair creeks with his moments. Humanize group was not just a threat for Japan but the world, meaning…

"Hawks!" An angry shout snaps him back to the present. The President glares at him. "I expect you to behave right now. Sit up like you want to be here. Slouching isn't allowed." Her tone has a hint of venom in it though strict and personal exterior she presented to the others.

"Uh, yes Madam!" He sits up quickly. "Though, with all due respect, I think taking the offer from Professor Xavier to lean his team will be beneficial for us all. This involves the world, not just Japan." Hawks looks back to the Zoom call on the screen where the X-Men, his father, the WHA, and representatives from other countries nod their heads in agreement. He grateful they chose to join in, it gave him a chance to see Jean again even if over a zoom call.

"Egypt would welcome the help." Said one of their top heroes, after considering what Hawks just suggested to them all. "This involves us all after all."

"Same here with France." Added their number 1. "More hands on deck the better chances we all have to win this."

The Commission Leader and President stares at everyone. Hawks sees a brief look of frustration and annoyance in their gazes before they both sigh. "Very well. Charles Xavier, we will take you up on your offer." The President says. "Mind you, we will all be expecting your X-Men to be following same rules as all the other heroes here."

"And we will expect you to choose who will go where Charles Xavier," the leader of the WHA says

"I can assure you they will follow them. For now I'll be in touch in the next few hours. We have predations to make." Professor X says.

Hawks sighs, rocking his chair onto the two back legs. He locks onto the emerald eyes of Jean, who's, back at the mansion, is sitting next to Storm and Scott. Hawks fights to keep the smile plastered to his face, knowing if he cedes even slightly to his longing to be next to her once more, he will cry.

.*.*.*.

The other heroes and HSPC members left ten minutes ago from the room, but Hawks stayed, staring into space.

"Hawks!"

Hawks' head snaps up from where he has been staring at the folder in front of him as the booming voice of Endeavor rings out through the empty meeting room. Looking up to see the broad shouldered hero stalking up to him.

"Hey, Endeavor. Whatcha needing from me? I was just about to leave and-" Hawks is cut off by Endeavor plucking the manilla folder the commission had given Hawks for his next assignment from his hand and replaces it with a different one. "What?"

"You want to see your girl and father again, right? This should help. They didn't say we can't switch which country we go to. All they said is that we need to be ready to leave by tonight."

Hawks reads the name on the file. San Francisco, USA. Hawks' wings beat behind him the shock was replaced with joy. I can really go see them.. see her without worry of getting busted for it. "Are you serious about this, man?! I can go see them?"

"I am, Hawks. I saw how worried you are and- MPH." Before Endeavor can finish, Hawks leaps from his seat and wraps Endeavor into a bear hug. Hawks' wings flutter behind him catching the older male off guard as the wing hero's façade he wore just for this moment slipped.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank youuuuuu. You won't regret this, I promise. Cross my heart. You're my fucking hero again, Endeavor!"
