You paced the length of the small room provided to you at Hawks’ hero agency. You and a close friend, and classmate, Tokoyami, were recruited to train and learn under Hawks’ wings. You, for your attention to detail and quick thinking skills. Tokoyami, just because Hawks took a liking to him.

You’d gotten into another argument with your parents. Words were thrown, anger directed purely at you for your life decisions. Your parents shouted and yelled, leaving you with no room to talk or explain yourself. You were a mere child in that moment of time; small and defenseless. Emotions clawed at you, threating to take you under the current and drown you.

You continued to pace, your thoughts and emotions drowned out everything around you. Until, a knock came from the door. You paused and stared at it, debating whether you should or shouldn’t open the door. Sighing, you walked over and slowly opened it. Pausing when you saw Hawks standing on the other side.

His usual cheerful expression was morphed into one of concern and worry. Hawks’ eyes glanced over you, noting that you were in casual clothes. “Hey, kid.” He said in an untypically soft voice. “Tokoyami said you seemed… troubled when you got back.” Hawks stepped inside your room when you opened it wider.

He walked to the middle of your room and looked over at small space. His golden brown eyes turned back to you. “Want to talk about it, {{user}}?”
