Chapter 16

'H-Hawks is a spy?!!!!'
'Maybe there's again a misunderstanding behind it but what if it's true that he's a spy working for the government? I can't imagine what he has already done to gain their trusts.'
I couldn't take my eyes off of the papers.


The room suddenly felt cold and I felt someone putting a scarlet feather against my throat. The feathers wasn't a normal one. It was sharp like a knife.
The user was behind me and his other hand had a tight grip around my waist, holding me in place.


"You should know that they're gonna kill you, if you don't keep your mouth shut." He whispered in my ear.


"Sorry (Y/N), but you've put yourself in a bad situation. They'll kill you for sure if they find out that you already know about the secret."


He released me from his grip and I fell to the ground.


"What do you mean with they?"
"I'm gonna explain it to you later, but please keep your mouth shut about the things you've read."


My workday has been ruined. I was just sitting in the chair doing nothing. I was too curious about the explanation Hawks would give me. He didn't take the folder with him so maybe other important things were standing there, but I refused to read it.


My shift finally ended and I headed home. Hawks was already waiting inside because his shifts are much shorter than mine.
He was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. His hair looked wet and some drops that were coming from his hair fell on his blue t-shirt.


I took the high heels off and went to the living room. I sat beside him. He turned his attention to me and turned the TV off.


"So you now know my true identity. I'm sorry for not telling you the truth but I was afraid that they might hurt you if I did." His eyes looked tired and he was fiddling with his fingers.


"I don't want anything to happen to you (Y/N). Don't tell it anyone. Nobody, except the government, knows about the mission. It's also quite risky for me."


"But when did you join them?"
"Since I was a kid. I wanted to become a hero and they found me. They said that I've a special quirk. That's why they started to train me."
"So which side are you now? Hero or Villain?" I looked at him and held his hands.


"I don't know (Y/N). I'm just doing what I think is right. You need to promise me that you won't tell it anyone. No hero or villain should know it." Hawks was refusing to look at me. His eyes were focused on his hands.
"You can trust me. I won't tell it anyone." I tried to smile, but it was still shocked.


Hawks got up and went straight to his bedroom, still not looking at me.
'I guess I should also sleep now.'


I went to my bedroom. It still bothered me that Hawks is a spy. I didn't know why. One part of me was worried about him and the other part was mad at him for lying to the other Heroes that gained his trust.


The thoughts kept me awake till 2 a.m. I took my phone and started my music Playlist while staring at the ceiling.
I had one last question that I was afraid of asking him.


'Am I also a toy for him that he'susing for the mission?'
