Chapter 7

Satisfied to have just extended their time in the US by three days, Hawks ends the call with the commission's president. While true he is wanting to make sure everyone is fit for the return to Japan, Hawks' recommendation for three additional days was probably more based on his desire to spend more time with Jean than his professional judgement for additional recovery time needed.

Storm walks into the kitchen and sits next to Hawks at the table. His feathers perk up at the sound of her— their heartbeats.

"How far along are you?" He asks her, still in slight disbelief he hadn't heard the second heartbeat until now.

Storm looks at him surprised. "How do you know I'm pregnant?" She asks. "It's only been 3 weeks since finding out."

"Double heartbeats. Does Logan know?"

"Yes."

"I knew you guys were close and got along but you two never show, well.. intimacy with each other."

"We have kept it to ourselves. People don't need to be in our business. Not to mention, it has been quite an interesting last couple days, so it's hard to notice much."

Hawks nods. "Congrats, you and silver claws will be awesome parents. Are you sure it's a good idea to join this assignment? They have trigger bombs and they could take your or your unborn child's quirk."

He opens the fridge grabs a cola from it.

"We want make sure our child will have a bright future." Storms smiles rest hand on her stomach.

"I heard Miydoria, Bakugo, and Todoroki will be released to go home tomorrow." Ojiro says as he sits with Tokoyami and his other schoolmates in the living room. Three days have passed and all their injuries have healed enough to be able fly back to Japan as early as tomorrow.

"Indeed, it's because of them and their friend we managed to stop this organization in their tracks." Sato says

Tokoyami nods. "We lucked out. It will be good to get home and back to a normal routine again."

"Agreed. I miss Japan and the others."

Dark shadow adds as Tokoyami looks over to Jean and Hawks. Hawks' head rests on his girlfriend's lap as she works on her computer with one hand while the other combs through his hair. The winged hero dozes peacefully.

"There. You shouldn't need your bandages after tonight." Jean closes the first aid kit and stares back at Hawks. The living room of the mansion feels both empty and full with just the two of them in it as many of the other occupants scatter about packing or have already left for hime.

Hawks slips his shirt back on carefully. Jean's slender hands help him get his injured arm through the sleeve.

"I hate that you're leaving tomorrow, Kei. It doesn't seem like a whole week has already passed."

"I know, I wish I would have asked for three decades instead of three days. I never want to leave you, Jean. You're always welcome to come to Japan, too. I promise the commission won't ever touch you again."

A hand cups his cheek as Jean gently kisses his lips and strokes his cheek. Coos rumble from Hawks chest. Feeling her soft lips and gentle touch, Hawks melts further into her lap in bliss.

"I believe you, baby bird, but right now I'm needed here. I promise if I ever get the chance, I'll come visit you. Maybe I'll bring few others. I know Kitty and Kurt want to come to Japan."

"Looking forward to that, Chickadee." He kisses her lips gently.

"What do plan to do about what the President of the commission said to you?" Logan asks Professor Xavier while they board the X-Jet with the other X-Men that tagged along and few other heroes hitching a ride back to Japan. The duo hangs back to chat outside the X-Jet.

"She's not in charge of my X-Men, each one of you have created a bond with the heroes and their students here. I do think it's in our best interest to continue and grow our relations with one another. Once we have everyone together we can discuss this more throughly. We don't want create an enemy but allies."

"I figured you would say that." Logan rubs the back of his neck and then shoves his hands into his pockets. "I guess it's best we get going. We have a long trip back with a lot of stops dropping off and picking up folks."

"Indeed we do."

Professor Xavier and Logan make their way into the X-Jet as they set off on the world-wide journey.

Hawks, though he feels the weight of his job on his wings, breathes a sigh of relief once his plane touches down in Japan and seeing everything is still intact. "Glad the league laid low. I doubt we all could have handled their antics on top of the terrorist organization."

He scrolls through his phone, checking to see if he has any messages, meetings, or, well, anything of importance to attend to. "Nothing."

He sighs, putting his phone away for now. Hawks heads to open his agency up once more since he is back. "Guess it means more time chill and grab some grub."
