Prologue; Pressure

Around 3AM I gave up trying to get some sleep. All night, I've been tossing and turning and overthinking.
The assignment I got made me nervous: I couldn't mess up. The mission was important. I had to get into the league of villains and spy on them. The heroes wanted information and thought i was the best choice for going undercover, fuck.
There is a lot of pressure on my shoulders, going undercover, keep doing the patrols and keeping my image as the perfect number 2 hero up.
I sighed out loud as i covered my eyes with my arms.
The mission was already in motion, i somehow managed to get a meeting with the League of Villains, which was in the morning.

The meeting was set at 5AM. I can't even remember why at 5 in the freaking morning but now I have to live with it. Anyways, i know I won't be getting any sleep anymore. I got up and strechted my sore muscles and my wings. I stumbled towards the bathroom while rubbing my eyes with my knuckles.

I turned on the lights and i silently cringed at it, squeezing my eyes until i got used to the light. Once i looked in the mirror i cringed again. My eyes were bloodshot, because of the amount of sleep i got, which was none, my hair was a mess, but when wasn't it?
"Damn it." I mumbled under my breath and I started to get ready, changing into my hero costume and splashing water in my face and then brushing my teeth.

Once I i was done i walked to the kitchen to get breakfast. Which wasn't really breakfast but just coffee and a biscuit. I sat myself down on the couch and turned on the tv, nothing interesting was on but it atleast killed time.

When it was finally time to leave i got up and turned of the TV. I grabbed my keys and phone and walked to the balcony stepping on it, the cold air slapped me in the face but I spread my wings once more, who walked through the front door when they could fly? Also I lived on the top floor and there was no elevator in the building, so this was just much more convenient. I jumped of the balcony, doing a free fall and then catching myself and continue souring through the sky.

I landed on the place where we were meeting at just 5 minutes before the agreed time to meet
I looked around a little to make sure i was actually alone, too make sure no common civillians noticed me but i couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching me. I was on alert the entire time and of course i had been right with someone watching me. I just looked at my watch and it turned exactly 5AM when someone grabbed my shoulder, I turned to hit the person but they anticipated it and grabbed my arm. I was met with cold piercing blue eyes , which seemed to look through my soul. He grinned at me, a wide cocky grin.
"Kurogiri!" His voice was low and raspy, it sounded kind of like he had just woken up, somehow his entire appearance seemed familiar. A purple, smoke like portal appeared next to us.

"After you," the man said and in a swift, practiced move he stepped aside and he pushed me through the portal. "Fuck!" I yelled out feeling helpless, of course this had been a horrible idea. 

I landed on a cold stone floor and I heard a few people chuckle. I scrambled to my feet and scanned my surroundings. It looked like a bar but not one I was familiar with, which was surprising because I've been in nearly all of the bars in Tokyo. In total four people were in the room. Behind the bar wiping a glass clean, was the portal guy, whom i recognised as Kurogiri. On the couch against the wall  were sitting two people, a girl with messy buns in her hair and a wicked and wide smile on her face, she had her legs draped over a guy in a entire body covering suit that looked quite similar to Deadpool's suit. I recognised the girl from a picture my Hero Agency had showed me her name is Toga Himiko.  I recognised the dude in the suit but I couldn't remember his name so I'll be calling him Fake Deadpool. Both of them were looking at me, Toga with a curious excitement,  i couldn't quite decipher Fake Deadpool's expression, with the mask and all. 

On one of the bar stool was sitting the guy who grabbed me. He had purpe scar-patches covering his face, underneath each eye one like eyebags, the lower half of his face and neck had the same sort scars. He had spiky black hair, that looked like he simple had woken up with his hair like that. His job was done so he was already sipping on some sort of alcoholic drink.

Before, on the dark bridge in just the light of a lamppost , i couldn't identify him but now I recognised him as Dabi, the fire guy who had been causing fires all around the city and has been very much trouble to all the heroes around in Tokyo

"Number 2 Wing hero Hawks, also known as Takami Keigo, quirk, Fierce wings," Kurogiri summed up as he placed the glass on the counter. Before he could continue speaking Toga interrupted,
 "Kurogiri! Please let me stab this pretty boy." she said and she brushed a finger against a knife in her fist. .
"Please do!" Fake Deapool called out and immediately after he said, "Not an good idea!"

"Toga please he's just here to talk." Kurogiri said calmly and I couldn't help but think he was some sort of father figure for these people although he didn't seem that old.

He continued calmly, "I'm curious about why the number 2 hero would want to meet with us,"
I pretended to think of an answer, I had prepared all for these kind of questions and I had therefore all the answers ready but I didn't have time to answer because we were once again interrupted, 

"Of course to expose our plans." Dabi said as he scowled not looking at either me or Kurogiri.
Kurogiri rolled his eyes at Dabi, "Let's just hear him out," He turned to me again, "Sit down Hawks and continue." I did what a i was told. 

"I'm done with playing the good guy, we're under so much pressure." I took a deep breath, to both calm my nerves and make it seem like this was hard to say,
"I just can't take it anymore. I want to get rid of all the heroes, the assholes who think they're better than me," There were enough people who looked down on me because of my age so that part wasn't really a lie.

There was a chuckle next to me and Dabi put down his glass with such a force that i thought it would break.
"Bullshit! He's lying can't you see that?" He said to Kurogiri.

"Dabi, for gods sake, keep out of this." Kurogiri replied, annoyed. 

"I will do anything for you to take me in as one of your own, I can even spy for you." I made eye contact with Dabi for a second who quickly turned his gaze away. 

"We will see." An unfamiliar voice said from my right.  I turned to the voice and Shigaraki Tomura entered the bar.
"I heard your story, it would be great to have you on our side but you'll have to prove yourself." he scratched his neck.
Prove myself? What did he mean with that? 

"Just saying this doesn't take away the fact that you're the number 2 hero, so we'll have to be careful with you," Shigaraki stepped forward to me and brushed a finger underneath my chin. I had to try with all my might not to step away from him. "For now give us as much information as you can, what to know and what we can expect from the heroes soon." He stepped away. 

I nodded slightly, "For now they don't know your whereabouts, they've been sending heroes out, I don't know which one though, to search for you but there has been no succes yet."
"Good good," Shigaraki said, "Tell us more."
I made eye contact with Dabi once more, he scowled at me but kept returning the gaze until i looked away to continue talking. I told them as much as i could and Shigaraki looked satisfied with what he heard.
"Thank you for the information, for now you can go home. We'll be in touch soon." Shigaraki said once i was done, I nodded and stood up.
"Kurogiri." Shigaraki said and a purple gate opened in front of me. "See you soon." Shigaraki said, i walked through the gate and was back on the bridge. I sighed, what did he mean with see you soon? 

I shrugged it off for now, as i felt tiredness taking over. Once i was back on the balcony the sun was already rising and people were slowly starting to crowd the streets. But i ignored it for the sake of going back to bed, once my head hit the pillow i fell asleep.


So hello im fixing errors in this story and some things (not much) will be added, deleted or kind of changed. Its the 4th of august 2022 so if you're reading this the same day or a few days after i probably wont be much further with fixing stuff but who knows
