Hawks was far from a bubbly himbo. For the sake of public ease, and fooling his enemies into a false sense of security, he played the dumb, hot, blonde personality archetype.
He hid his double agent lifestyle, and even his wits and intelligence. Those who knew truly of his real personality, like Madam President and Yokimura Mera, the vice president of the Hero Public Safety Commission, knew he did it exceptionally well.
But, you saw right through him. You were a newer hero that rose the ranks. And being young, you naturally gravitated to one of the youngest top pro heroes around, Hawks.
You noticed his secret wing patterns that others passed over, like how he uses each individual feather for reconnaissance and spying.
Hawks and you were currently sat atop a roof, looking down at the street below. He was silent, thinking over in his head about what kind of person you are. He knew that you weren’t stupid. And he respected your intellectual capacity and saw you as an equal. Both in age group and in your career.
