The bell rang as school ended. Most kids were excited. As (y/n) took her time to leave she was nervous she had failed her math test by a one point.

A nine out of ten.

She walked outside as she blocked her eyes from the sun.

"Hey (y/n)" Hawk smiled as he leans against the wall. (Y/n) jumps as she squeaks.

"O-oh...hi"she said quietly.

" You really take your time "he said.

"I'm...g-going i-in trouble..." she muttred. Hawks hunched an eyebrow.

"Why?" he asked. (Y/n) gave him her math test his eyes widen.

"Woah nice"he smiles "so why are you going to be in trouble?" he asked. (Y/n) stares nervously.

"Oh...your Not supposed to get below a perfect score" he said. (Y/n) nodded as she trembled.

"Hey it's okay"he said as he placed a hand in her shoulder. (Y/n) wince.

" Ow... "She whimpers. Hawk removed his hand.

"You okay?" he asked. (Y/n) nodded slightly as tears filled her eyes. Hawk starred.

"Can I check your shoulder?" he asked. (Y/n) turns to him before nodding slightly. Hawk pulled the shirt towards him so her shoulder would show.

She had a deep bruise. Before hawk could ask she said.

"I-i f-fell d-down the s-stairs..." she muttred. Hawk sighs annoyed but (y/n) couldn't tell. He knew that line from the back of his head the question on his mind was how many bruises does she have. He let's go as he fixed her shirt.

"I'll walk you home okay?" He said. (Y/n) looks at him and nods slightly. Hawk bent down to her level.

"Can I hold you"he asked as he looked her in the eyes.

" N-no.... "She said as she flinched and backed away. Hawk starred.

"It's okay to say no...I'm not mad"he said. (Y/n) fiddled with her fingers nervously.

" OMG IT'S HAWK!!!! "Some teen screams. Soon a group of fans came. (Y/n) whimpers as she backs away covering her face in hopes to become invisible. Hawks saw her as he spread his wing and stepped in front of her. Blocking her out.

" Hey guy! "He waved as he took pictures. (Y/n) noticed as Hawk glanced over as he gestures her to start walking. (Y/n) does so as she crept out and ran a bit till she was far enough to slow down. She sighs as she calms herself down. People scared her children scared her. She was sometimes afraid of -

(Y/n) yelp as she looked and it was just her shadow.

Hawk chuckled slightly as he landed next to her.

(Y/n) looked up at him.

" sorry about that, gotta please my fans you know hero stuff "he said. (Y/n) nods.

" Do you want to be a hero? "He asks. (Y/n) shook her head.

" What do you want to be? "

"...A a-actress" she said softly. Hawk smiled.

"Let me know when your first show is okay?" he says as he grins at her. (Y/n) nods. Hawk stopped.

(Y/n) turns as she looked at him confused.

"Wanna get candy?" he asked. (Y/n)'s eyes widen as she smiled shyly nodding. Hawk gestures the small candy shop he stood in front of. (Y/n) starred, she never noticed this seeming she always kept her head down.

"Are you going to just stare" hawks chuckled. (Y/n) blinked as she began to walk forward. Hawk opens the door for her as they enter.

There was all types of candy there colorful ones chocolate ones, hard ones, small ones big ones, it was a child's paradise. What caught (y/n)'s attention was the gummy bears and (f/c). Hawk noticed.

"You want it?" he asked. (Y/n) looked at him.

"M-may....i....?"

" That's why I asked "he said. (Y/n) nods Hawk grabbed a bag of gummy bears and the (f/c). He walked to the cashier.

" Woah! Hawks!! "she said amazed he glanced over to (y/n).

"...has a daughter?" she said slightly disappointed.

"No,I'm single" he said. "This is a friend of mine

(y/n)"

" Aww cute "She said. "Anyways do you want to purchase those candies?"

" No, I want to steal them, I'm kidding yes I would "he chuckled. The woman smiles as she pressed a button.

" 6.89" she said. Hawk gave her a Ten and 89 cents.

She gave him back 4.

"Thank you" hawks said as he put the money in his wallet.

"Here you go cupcake" he said as he gave (y/n) the candy.

"Thank you" she said quietly.

"Of course" he smiles. (Y/n) opens the bag of gummy bears as she began to eat them. Hawk turns

"Can I have I one?" he asked. (Y/n) nods as she held a handful out to him.

"You sure that much?" he said. (Y/n) nods. Hawk opens his hand as (y/n) places the gummy bears in his hand she was in her tippy toes as he bent down a little.

"Thank you Feathers" he said.

"F-feathers?"

" Yeah, imma call you that now you remind me of my feathers, I know when you need help and you gentle like one "he said as he pats her head. (Y/n) starred.

" do you not like it? "

"I-i...r-really...like i-it"she said. Hawk beams

"Great!" he beams.

The two talked a bit mostly Hawk doing the talking and (y/n) mainly listen some where about hero work others was him complaining about something which made (y/n) smiled and some was just random.

I when they arrived at her house Hawk took note of the address. It was a one story house and it looked very neat and clean. The first thing he caught was. How did she call down the stairs when it's one story?

(Y/n) starred fearfully as she began to tremble. Hawk turns to her.

"Hey it's okay..." he said. As he rubbed her back. (Y/n) looked at him nervously.

"Here"he said as he gave her a bigger feather.

" hold it tight when your scared "he said. (Y/n) nods as she held the feather tightly. Hawk chuckled.

"Okay I'll walk you to the door" he said kindly. He opens the gate and to the door. He rung the doorbell and flew off but lands on the roof. The door opens revealing a tall figure shadow.

"Why are you late"he asked coldly. (Y/n) tried to say something but her voice was taken away.

" is that a feather "he said disgusted. "Your worse than your mother" he snarled. Hawks glares. The father grabs her wrist tightly.

"Get inside"he said as he yanks her harshly inside. Hawks scoffs as he flew off.

" knew that man was lying "he said. "Time to write a report...oh God that means paperwork..." he groans.

.

(Y/n) say in the back of the playground wearing a large old and dirty hoodie with it on as she looked at her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Feathers there you are!" A voice beams. (Y/n) looked up but quickly looked down.

"A hoodie...wow it's dirty" hawk said as he sat next to her. (Y/n) turns away from him as she shook violently. Hawk frowns.

"Hey what's wrong?" he asked. (Y/n) shook her head. Hawk flew to the other side (y/n) covers her face with her hands. Hawk gently grabs her wrist.

"Please let me see..." he said. (Y/n) whimpers as she nods. Hawk slowly moved her hand as his eyes widen she had a folded bandage over her right eye as she cries. Hawk felt anger surge inside him but calms himself for the sake of the child.

"I-i...h-it....m-m-my head-"

"No you didn't" hawk sighs softly. (Y/n) looked at him then at the floor her lips quivering.

"Its okay...you can tell me"he said as he wipes her face. (Y/n) nods slightly.

" D-daddy...is....bad"she said. Hawks starred.

"What about your mom?"

" H-he...he...h-h-h-he... "She hiccups as a fresh set of tears filled her eyes.

" What did he do? "Hawk asked slightly anxious.

"H-he m-made m-m-mom-m-my...die"she said quietly tears falling down. Hawk starred sadly and angered as well as shocked. Hawk being careful not to hurt her pulled her into a hug as his wings wrapped around her as well. (Y/n) cries into his shirt as she gripped it as tight as she could.

" Its okay....I'll protect you, I'll make sure your safe... "He said quietly. (Y/n) hiccups as she tries to breath. Hawk strokes her back gently. She soon calmed down as she let go simply lying against his chest.

" Feel better now? "He asks. (Y/n) nods slightly as she looked at him. Hawk smiles gingerly.

" I'm very proud you told me"he said quietly. (Y/n) looked down.

"Now that I know I can finally get him behind bars"he said.
