The Hawk and The Falcon *DISCONTINUED*

|12| For Our Safety

"God, Keigo, stop being so loud."

"Not my fault you went and fought Villains on your own without thinking..."

The boys gazed back and forth between the siblings' bickering, sweat-dropping awkwardly as Iida cleared his throat, attracting their attention.

"We'll leave you alone, Takami," the class representative bowed, "get better soon."

She smiled.

"Thanks, Iida."

"Wait!" called the Pro Hero, the boys turning around to face him, "thank you..."

"For?"

"Taking care of her," he concluded, "Miu's extremely reckless, she can set her mind on something and not pay attention to anything else around her."

The boys stared at the Winged Hero, shocked as they stammered that it was alright, stumbling out the door. As the door closed, the Pro Hero whirled on the girl, bashing her on the head once again. She gazed up at him boredly, irk marks appearing.

"You done yet?"

"Nope."

The girl sighed, giving him a pointed glare as he sighed.

"Quit being so over-mmph!"

The boy flung his arms around her neck, startling the girl as his wings protectively covered the pair, a sense of warmth washing over her as her eyes widened slowly, glad that he couldn't see her face. She flushed, her older brother's breath tickling the girl's ear as she tensed.

"You had no idea how worried I was when Vlad called... saying you were all beat up and your feathers had almost run out," he murmured, running his hands through her hair, "I'm gonna have to start caging you up if you continue acting recklessly."

"I-I'm sorry, Keigo..." she murmured, gazing down as he sighed, straightening up.

"Promise me you're never going to do that again."

"Give you a heart attack or go on school trips?"

The boy gave her a disapproving look, tutting as he flopped down onto the makeshift bed next to her, eyeing her with one eye as she sweat-dropped at the Winged Hero's antics.

~TIMESKIP~

She sighed, turning on the television in a futile attempt to calm her frantic mind, propping up her ankle to let it rest.

"This scene looks like it's straight out of a horror movie!" the reporter yelled, startling the girl as she gazed up, "in an instant, half of Kamino Ward has been destroyed!"

"No way..."

"Look at that damage..."

"Currently, All Might is fighting the Villain thought to be the ringleader! I can't believe it, there's just one Villain!" he continued, "and he's destroying the city and holding his own against our strongest Hero!"

"He... he's getting really beat up..."

The girl trembled, sweat rolling down her neck as she breathed heavily, not knowing what to make of the situation. She tensed up, her feathers blowing in the wind as she tried to look anywhere but at the screen of the horrific events that were taking place. All Might coughed, glancing up as the Villain spoke to him.

"All Might... he'll be fine, right?" She gazed to her left to see her brother gazing, open-mouthed, at the television screen, shaking slightly. His hands were clenching the back of the couch, knuckles white as a bead of sweat rolled down his neck. He gritted his teeth, their feathers ruffling in agitation. An uncertain tone was lacing his voice as she bit her lip. "I mean... he always wins, right?"

The pair couldn't see or hear very clearly what was going on, but she knew that something bad was happening, or about to happen-

"Show the world your pathetic, skeletal form, All Might!"

That's... All Might?

"Pathetic... such a pathetic 'top Hero'!" he roared with laughter, the siblings gazing at the screen in mortification. She groped around for the remote, turned the television off and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. She opened her mouth slowly, exhaling shakily as she voiced the thought in everybody's minds: the citizens and the Heroes.

"S-so... what now?"
