Angel's voice
Hawks POV:
It was already late when I finished patrolling my night shift. It was currently 3 a.m. and all I wanted was to go home and flop on my bed. However, before I do that I'm going to a 24h open takeout to get myself some chicken!
As I was flying to get my sweet sweet chickens, I saw 5 people cornering some civilians. I stopped in midair to see if they would do something bad or if they are just joking around. It could have been all a bad prank after all. Not the first time I saw someone doing this as a prank to their best friends. Humans are really weird.
However, this time I was right, this was a mugging of some sort. I immediately flew down to the entrance of the alley, landing silently. The criminals didn't realized that I was here.
Me: AND What are you guys think you are doing?
Number 1: None of your business, Birdbrain!
Birdbrain? Who the fuck are you calling Birdbrain!
I looked at them closely and saw that they were now getting ready to attack. The person that responded to me began activating his quirk. His hair began catching fire, it was a blue flame, his hands were also covered in flames.
Number 1: I suggest you move on or else!
Number 4: Wait isn't that the number 2 pro-hero?
Number 2: You mean Hawks?
Number 5: Na, that can't be... His patrol rout isn't even near this area!
Me: Yup that's me!
Number 1 used his quirk on me and I just opened my wings and went flying up, dodging the flames thrown at me.
Number 5: Get that damn bird down!
Number 3 used the airflow to make it hard for me to fly or stay up in the sky. The current was too strong and instable to hold myself in the air for long.
Shit I need to land. How unfortunate, looks like my luck is getting worse. There is a 1 in a million chance for a criminal to have some kind of air manipulation quirk and I just got into a fight with a wind user! JUST MY LUCK!
As I was about to land, some knifes came flying strait at me. Using my feathers to spare the knifes and also to pin that guy on the wall, I managed to avoid getting hit.
Number 5: Lets plug the feathers from that bird!
Number 5 came immediately running right at me. I didn't had enough time to move as his speed was inhuman. Don't get me wrong, I am the fasters hero out there but that only applies when I am up in the sky. I still had nearly all of my feathers and so I decided to dispatch some to get that big guy away from me. Unfortunately for me Number 1 burned them all.
Me: Arg! Do you know how long it takes for them to grow back?
I was pissed at myself. Criminals normally don't team up and here I was in a situation where this was exactly the case and I was stupid enough to charge in without having a plan or knowing their quirks.
If there only wasn't an air quirk user, I could have beaten their asses in no time!
Number 5 began charging at me again I took my two largest feathers and used them as swords. Then all of the sudden Number 4 jumped right in between us with 2 swords. The two weapons hit each other's.
Damn he is skilled in swordsmanship as well?!
We began sparing and it became harder to beat that guy. He knew exactly how to wield a double edged sword and he had two of them. I was to focused on that person that I didn't see Number 3 lifting Number 1 up in the air and giving him a nice boost to get behind me. The moment I saw him pass me it was already too late. He used his fire quirk and burned all my feathers hurting my small wings and my back in the process.
That's fucking painful!
I turned around and managed to cut him. Number 5 then charged at me and threw me to the wall. My head hit the wall hard and I fell down. I looked up and saw the civilians still standing there completely in shock and shaking.
Me: Get out of here!
Number 3: Oh worry about yourself.
I could feel a headache and thanks to the wall, I now could see some black spots in my field of vision.
GET THE SHIT TOGETHER HAWKS! NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BLACK OUT!
I saw Number 3 using his quirk which until know I didn't know what it was. The man created some water out of thin air, then formed it to some needles and threw it right at me. I used my feathers to cut through them before they could hit me but I couldn't get all of them since my reaction time was getting slower.
Number 4: You are done for good birdy!
I was too engaged with Number 3 while dodging Number 1 fire attacks and also trying to avoid the big guy. Number 4 created a gun and fired 5 times. Out of the 5 times 3 bullets hit me. I was getting weaker by the second. I somehow managed to back up from the fight and that's when I saw a person get down from the roof.
???: You look beaten up chicken nugget!
Chicken Nugget? The fuck are you calling chicken nugget? Since when are there 6 of them?
Number 1: Who are you to interrupt us?
So he isn't one of them? THEN WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!
Siren: Oh my, where are my manners? My name is not important but you should know that people are calling me Siren!
My eyes went wide.
If that was true than there was a chance to get out of this situation! I looked Siren from up and down. Although it was pretty dark I could see that the person was small almost like a child.
Number 2: Hahahaha as if Siren would be in this part of the city!
Number 5: Yeah everyone knows that Siren is only active in the neighboring district.
Siren: Mhm~, that is true but my district is currently resting, so here I am!
Number 3: What do you think we are? Fools? As if, you really are Siren!
Siren: Oh no, you misunderstood. You clearly are dumber than fools are!
I was cackling a little bit, it was funny to see that he wasn't scared at all. The 5 men were splitting themselves up. 2 of them faced me while 3 of them charged at Siren. That's when I heard his voice, it was a beautiful angelic like voice. I watched in aw how all the criminals fell to the ground unconscious.
So that is his quirk!
Watching him closely I saw how Siren went to the civilians and they simply stood up. He helped them stand up before they just exited the alley without a word. He then faced me. I could see his shining emerald eyes. They were so beautiful, they looked like a gem. To mesmerized to look away I stared at him the whole time. He was still singing and that's when I felt it a warm feeling where all my injuries are. I stopped feeling the pain.
What?! Is he healing me? HOW?!
Hawks: What are you doing?!
Siren stood still and in the next moment I could sense my feathers again.
I instinctively opened my wings and looked at them. All the feathers were there! If my eyes weren't wide open the whole time, then this time they surely were!
HOLLY SHIT! WHO IS THIS KID?! AN GUARDIAN ANGEL?
HOW CAN HE DO THAT?! WHY IS HE DOING THIS?!
I had so many questions in my head and I only managed to get out one word.
Me: WHAT?!
He didn't respond but instead was signing me something.
I really should have learned sign language! Why was I so dumb and ignored all the people trying to force me to learn it!
I watched Sirens hand drop. He must have realized that I didn't know what he was saying based on my confused face.
Me: I don't now sign langue, why don't you just talk to me?
He signaled me that he couldn't talk.
That's illogical I just heard his angelic voice?! Wait a moment what if it was his quirks drawback? Surely they must be more than just losing his voice. He just saved me! I feel kinda bad for him now! Quirks drawbacks can be painful and healing quirk drawbacks are always painful.
Me: Ohhh, so you can't talk right now?
Siren gave me a small nod. I saw how slow he nodded his head and became worried. He also closed his eyes while nodding which let me believe that a lose of his voice wasn't the only drawback he had.
Me: Are... Are you ok?
It was a stupid question the kid in front of me wasn't looking good in any sense. He looked mentally beaten up after he finished his song. His eyes were now dull instead of the shining one before. Siren looked like he could collapse any minute because of exhaustion.
Can't blame him! He not only healed me but also defeated the criminals and made sure that the civilian would be ok. Can't imagine how tired he must be after using his quirk to such an extend.
I could only guess the last part from other similar incidents. The police never found out what his quirk was. All we knew was that it was some kind of mental thing but this was something completely different. It looked more like he had quirks instead.
I watched Siren scaling the wall to the roof and I decided to follow him. I don't know why exactly but I was worried about him and all I wanted was that he would be save.
Maybe I could even see where he lives. Nah, who am I kidding, this kid won't lead me to his home!
Still following Siren from up in the air, I was surprised where he took me. It was a playground and he went to the sandpit. I hovered slightly above the ground until I saw that he was writing something. Not wanting the air to mess with the sand while he was writing I landed beside him. It didn't go unnoticed that the boy tensed up and jumped slightly.
Siren(writing): Why are you following me?
Why? Why did I? Honestly I don't know! All I know is that I feel an urge to protect you kid!
Me: You saved me, kid! I don't like to be in debt to anyone... And you don't look good!
Siren(writing): Kid?
Hawks: Yeah, your voice changer gave up the moment you began to sing. So how old are you exactly?
Didn't he realize that?
Siren(writing): Younger than you are more I won't tell, besides I am fine! Now go away chicken nugget!
Judging by your attitude combined with your voice and high I would say you are around 11 or 12 years old... Why would a kid be a vigilante? Wait a damn minute did he just called me chicken nugget again?
Me: Chicken nugget?
Siren(writing): Got a problem with your nickname?
I was amused that the kid was talking to me like that and that he was giving me a nickname. A smile was placing itself on my face.
Me: No, no problem, kid!
Siren(writing): Stop calling me kid!
Oh so you don't like being called a kid? Whelp if you call me chicken nugget than deal with it!
Me: Then what shall I call you?
Lets see if he will tell me his name... I don't believe it but its worth a try.
Siren(writing): Nice try getting my name! Call me Siren like everyone else or Deku.
Deku... as in useless? Why should I call you that?
I frowned. It wasn't a good sign for a kid to tell me to call him useless. I only could imagine what he went through to just accept the nickname. The longer I was thinking about it the more frustrated I got. Anger was welling inside me for the people calling the little angel beside me a Deku.
Me: Why would I call you Deku?
Siren(writing): That's what they used to call me.... Anyway can I go now without you following me?
Me: You still don't look to well to me kid..
Siren(writing): Siren! And I just have a migraine thank you very much for your concern!
If this is my only chance of speaking to him than I want to know why? Why are you a vigilante? Why do this? Why endanger your life? This is the one question we all were asking ourselves.
Me: One last question.
Siren(writing): ?
Me: Why are you doing this?
Siren(writing): Because no one saw the need to save me! I wanted to save the one no one cares to save. Oh and Hawks you are no weapon or bird or hero! You are in first place a human being with angelic features. You shouldn't think of yourself otherwise. Don't be caged and don't let yourself be caged be free! Be the one you want to be!
He can't know my past, can he? That's impossible! But still how?
Tears were falling down my cheek and my smile dropped. He looked up at me before continue writing. I was still staring at his writing and that's when I felt his hand. He took my hand and placed something in it.
Siren(writing): I want you to always remember what I told you, if you feel like you are caged then look at the shell and remember that you are no weapon and also no bird. Just a normal human with an amazing quirk! You have rights too!
Nobody ever told me this.
He is the first once to do so. I was deeply moved by Sirens words and kindness. They meant a lot to me! And that's when I decided, I would protect this kid from everything no matter what. He already meant a lot to me! He gave me the feeling to be someone important. I felt the warm of him while he was healing me and now I could feel the feelings coming from the words. It was a feeling I wasn't familiar with, but I loved it.
Me: I- How- Did you know?
Siren(writing): I know nothing... Just a friendly reminder...
I was to focused on the words and it meaning to even realize that he was gone. I stood there probably 30 minutes more, staring at his last words.
Me: I will find you and if it is the last thing, I will do!
I was thinking about how he told me to call him deku and how lonely he looked. I wanted to be someone to always be by his side. Realizing what I was just thinking I asked myself why I was thinking like this. It was the first time I met him and he was still a vigilante. And yet he gave me some hope that I was more than a weapon. It was a long time ago that I accepted the fact and Siren just broke it. Not wanting to stand there any longer I took off and flew home.
Tomorrow I need to tell the information to the detectives and get myself more involved in it. I want him safe and if no one ever saved him than I would be the one extending a helping hand to him! Even if it means saving him from himself!
