HAWKS POV
"So Hawks, any ladies waiting for you after the interview"
Just a long ass patrol
"Even if I did I wouldn't tell" He said with a sly smile, he could hear the women behind the cameras giggling.
"Really? A good looking man like you should have ladies lining up at your door"
Not like I could date any of them
"That's the problem man. There all such catches, can't pick just one."
Hawks regrated his words almost instantly, the tabloids would have some made up headline about him being in a threesome.
"Well Hawks," the interviewer continued "You'll find you one eventually. on the topic of your admires what's the craziest thing one did to try and get you attention?"
Hawks could not say what they had actually done, the grabbing, the stalking, the groping, and the drugging.
"I have to say it would be the time a fan sent me some hair"
"Really hair? that's the wildest thing." he had a look of disappointment that, that was all he was getting out of him.
"Well, it wasn't from her head"
The studio burst out in laughter.
"Well" the interviewer said brining back focus " Thank you for coming Hawks,"
"Thanks for having me"
After the interview finished Hawks started to walk to the roofs, he had a 12 hour patrol.
Flying thru the city was the only time he truly felt free. No civilians, no heroes, no handlers he could just relax. No point putting on a mask if there is no one else to see it.
"YEAH DO IT"
"MAKE IT BIGGER"
Breaks could only last so long, as Hawks flew towards the noise. He perched on a roof to figure out what was going on. Four teens where in an empty parking lot setting off fire crackers, one of the teens had a quirk that was some how making the normally small explosions larger and brighter.
"HEY GUYS" Hawks flew down "could you guys stop doing that"
"OH SHIT, Hawks" The tall teen said "what are you doing out so late,"
"Got patrol night" he said in a laid back tone
"Shouldn't you be with some hot chick right now" the shorter one said
"Nah man, got be a hero first" he flashed them a smile "you two should be getting home your parents will be worried"
"We're 16"
"We can take care of our selves"
"Still minors" he teased "go on, get home"
The two grumbled but packed up and left.
The rest of patrol went quicky, only a few minor incidents, petty theft, a couple muggings, a lot of dealing with the police.
As Hawks fell into bed his phone rang.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" hawks groaned out as he answered it.
"I expect a bit more respect to the person who made you a hero"
Hawks shot up
"I'm sorry Madam, what can I do for you"
"Come in, NOW"
the phone hung up, Hawks flopped back onto his bed, he debated not getting back up, when he went to the commission a punishment was waiting for him, but he couldn't put it off.
As he walked through the hallway to the presidents office he held his breath, when ever he was called here he was getting a mission or tortured.
"Hawks sit down" the presidents tone left no room for question
"what'd need me for boss"
"the heroes are throwing an unofficial party tonight,"
"Oh really, didn't get an invite soooooooo"
"It came to use first. We except you to be there"
"Why do you want me to go anyway"
The president paused "this information is not public yet but" she slid a file across the desk "one of our assassins got caught by other heroes and got linked back to us"
"Oh crap"
"Yes, we need you to go to this party and figure out which heroes are still loyal us and which ones suspect us"
"no"
"What"
"NO"
there was beat of silence
"I will not go spy on my fellow heroes to figure out if they are still loyal to you cause you screwed up and got caught"
The president looked at him and sighed "Hawks we've talked about this you can't have these teenage tantrums, your an adult."
"Only on your paperwork"
*SLAP*
Hawks felt a sting across his face
"THE WORLD KNOWS YOU AS HAWKS SO THAT IS WHO YOU WILL BE"
There was a beat of silence
"Once your handelers are done with you, you will go to that party and gather any intel you can"
As his handlers dragged him down the hallway he knew what was coming, he also knew it would be a hellish party.
