[ manga bits...! ]

Since this is from Hawks' POV it looks mostly like a fucking meteor falling out of the sky. Hawks runs over to keep Endeavor from falling down and makes fun of him a little for copying All Might's victory pose. Endeavor points out that it's not the same pose because it's the other arm and Hawks clearly thinks that's very charming and tells him he did a good job. (Endeavor's face is just like, completely gouged open. it's a nasty nasty wound).

Then some zombie-faced fuckboy pops out of nowhere and ruins their moment, and is like oh bluh bluh I'm going to last minute gank the two of you!! And puts up a big ol' blue firewall. And that's where the memory ends.

You're back from patrol, and you're tired.

You're not really back, actually. You're stopping in to grab first aid supplies and a water bottle before you go back out, because tonight, like every night, is a busy night for you. (Your nights are always busy, because you make it a point to never not be busy).

Your sidekick greets you as you walk in. You've just got the one - he's a newbie, like you, and just happy to be here. He handles most of your paperwork and seems to enjoy it. He's listening to the radio.

"Hey, boss!", he says, waving. "You're just in time. They're announcing this season's ranking, right? But get this, they're at 14 and I haven't heard you yet."

"Am I like, 800?"

"Nawwww. They list those on the website! But the top 50 they like to announce on the radio, so- oh, hang on, we're at 11--"

The voice on the radio triumphantly lists number 11. It's not you.

Then number 10. It's not you.

Number 9. It's not you.

Number 8— crashing onto the scene faster than we've seen anybody ever rise! He just started his agency this year! Only eighteen years old, making him the youngest Pro Hero— in history— to make it into the Top Ten!

The wing Hero, █████!

Your sidekick looks at you, wide-eyed. You look back at him, in disbelief.

"Celebration dinner is on you, boss."

Okay in this one Hawks is like five or six, and he's living in an absolute shitheap of a place. There's trash and empty cans and bottles everywhere, the windows are boarded up, and nobody has ever cleaned in their life. Hawks is sleeping, curled up around a stuffed doll, on what looks like one single shitty, dirty blanket wadded up into kind of a little nest.

Then he wakes up because rain falls on his head. He looks up and there seems to be a hole in the roof. He tries to ignore it for a little bit, tries to move his little nest out of the way, but it seems like it's pretty cold and wet so after a few attempts, he hugs the doll, hides it under his blanket, and goes outside. He passes a woman who's watching TV on his way out. A pair of eyeballs are floating around her head, but neither turns to look at him.

Despite the lack of adult supervision, Hawks climbs up onto the roof (in the rain) to fix the tarp so it's properly covering the huge hole in their roof. It's evident from his view on top of this shitty little house that they live way far away from everyone. After just barely managing to fix the tarp (he moves a rock on top of the corner that slipped out), he suddenly looks up and over into the darkness, where there's a single light (a flashlight?).

In his haste to get down, he slips and falls off the roof, but he catches himself with his wings and only gets a LITTLE banged up. He scurries back to his little nest and pretends to be asleep.

This one is just a really uncomfortable memory of lil' Hawks cuddling his stuffed Endeavor and listening to his parents scream at each other about things. Subjects include:

- I hate this family I hate that you had a child, if you hadn't had that kid I would be able to get out of this place (from his dad)
- We need more money go get more money I don't care what you do to earn it (from his mom),
- You're both useless ungrateful leeches who aren't good for anything and do nothing but use up my money (from his dad),

And then at the end of the argument his dad storms into the room and lil' Hawks scurries to hide his doll. His dad straight up just like, kicks him like the football over it, but he doesn't find the doll, so who's laughing now! (Nobody is laughing now.)

Hawks is like 9, and he is in a room like a gymnasium or auditorium - it's got huge high ceilings and is cavernous. The floor is polished concrete and clean, and the room is lit only by artificial lights that somehow manage to make it seem darker.

He's blindfolded, and scattered across the room are targets (they appear to be roughly human-sized). Watching over him are two adults in clean dark suits wearing dark glasses. One has gills and webbed fingers and is holding a stopwatch. The other has no qualities that stand out, and is holding a clipboard and a recording device.

The one with the clipboard says, into the recording device, 'Training exercise K-14. Average completion time is 33.14 seconds with an error margin of 2%.' Then she pauses, and reads off the clipboard, 'Estimated completion time for Hawks is 15.6 seconds.'

The one with the stopwatch nods.

'Begin.'

The training exercise seems pretty complex. There are some targets he hits, some he doesn't, some he moves from one place to another, based on something that isn't immediately obvious. His lil baby face is scrunched up with concentration. He looks like he might be developing a headache.

'12.77 seconds', says the one with the stopwatch. '99% accuracy rate.'

'That's perfectly acceptable, then. Hawks, you can stop for the day if you like.'

He pulls the blindfold up a little and looks from adult to adult, then pulls it back down and shakes his head.

'I can do it faster,' he says.

And they run the exercise again. 10.23 seconds. 99% accuracy rate. They tell him he did perfectly acceptably, offer him the chance to stop, and he hesitates, then declares again that he can do it faster.

10.10 seconds. 9.28 seconds. 8.49 seconds.

It's several exercises later and 6.34 seconds at a 99.5% accuracy rate, Hawks trembling with exhaustion, that the adult holding the clipboard... leans in and ruffles his hair.

'You did a really good job, Hawks. Let's stop for today.'

THIS time, he seems satisfied. He nods.

A normal day of patrols where he just Does Not Stop working all day even while he's just hanging out. Of note is that he rarely goes down on the ground or stops long enough to get like, mobbed by people (although they absolutely would mob him if they did - even when he's up on rooftops people are super excited to see him and cheer and wave and stuff); his sidekicks trail after him on the ground and take care of dudes that he casually knocks out or ties up.

He also doesn't limit himself to stopping crime! He helps several people lift heavy objects, catches a little kid's ice cream when they drop it, finds somebody's lost dog, and catches somebody's hat that flies off in the wind, sometimes like... simultaneously!

He's really efficient is what I'm saying.

[ from the light novel - ]

"Tick, tock," said the hero.

By the time Tokoyami got to the roof of the building, an impatient Hawks had already captured the villain that he and his team were after. The boy was getting used to the sight of prepackaged villains, tied and bound by Hawks, ready for processing. The police and other sidekicks arrived moments later to take the villain into custody.

"How about we take a breather?" suggested Hawks, passing out soft drinks to his team. One of the sidekicks asked when the boss had the time to buy refreshments, so Hawks explained that during the chase, he'd rescued a lost child, and the grateful parent had offered the drinks as a reward.

So basically they start a villain chase, Hawks is like, I'LL GO AHEAD, he shoots off, he sees a lost child, he reunites the kid with their parents, the kid's parents buy him sodas, THEN he goes and finishes up the villain chase, knocks them out, and ties them up.

All this before everyone else even like?? Gets up the stairs??

Personally, I, the player, have a hard time conceptualizing how fast you would have to be to pull this shit off.

So this one mostly exists in the occasional flashback panel so to put it together:

- He's with his mother and they are Clearly, Actually, Explicitly Homeless. They're living in a train station. His mother is clearly not okay because phew.

- Men in suits come to talk to them. They talk about how this child has such incredible talent that he absolutely, absolutely must become a hero. They offer to make sure he and his entire family (to which his mother angrily points out that there IS no other family besides her) are taken care of. Part of this is that they won't have the name 'Takami' anymore.

- His mom basically is like, yes, right away. She wants to be taken care of because living in a train station fucking sucks. She's pretty dismissive about basically like. Selling her son into this crazy hero training program.

- SO ANYWAY THEY GET SEPARATED AND LED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN SUITS... there's no dramatic voiceover to say 'that was the last time I ever saw my mother', but. The implication is there.

- At SOME POINT LATER they ask HIM if he's okay with entering this extremely harsh training program, because part of the thing is that also his FIRST name, Keigo, gets erased, and he, who is five years old and not legally capable of consenting to this kind of shit, agrees to it so he can be a ~shining light~ just like ~the hero who saved him~.

It doesn't seem ESPECIALLY ETHICAL, THIS SERIES OF EVENTS. ONE COULD SAY THAT PERHAPS A VULNERABLE AND TALENTED CHILD WAS EXPLOITED BY ADULTS WHO SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED HIM. OOPS!

GO SPY, HAWKS. IT'LL BE FUN, HAWKS. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO REFUSE, HAWKS.

THE PEOPLE LOVE ME, OF COURSE

[Hawks/Keigo/W] is a very young child. He is carrying a bag of groceries and carefully walking down the street when he suddenly startles. A moment after him reacting comes the sound of tires screeching - a truck has lost control of its breaks and is careening into the other lane towards two cars.

[Hawks/Keigo/W] immediately RUNS OVER, launching feathers out of his wings, and manages to rescue every single person involved in the accident. There's not a single casualty. As they all recover and look around, they're startled to see him - the crowd starts marveling at how a child saved them, of all people - and [Hawks/Keigo/W] panics and runs away.

[ scene from 299 ]

This is basically just what his life was like.

Takami Sr. comes home and catches him outside the house on the road, grabs him, hauls him home and like, literally dropkicks him and starts screaming at him about like, why are you outside, who were you trying to sell me out to, what are you planning!!

Keigo says he thought someone was in trouble, because his feathers were tingling, but they stopped, so he turned around and came home, and nobody saw him.

His dad calls him a liar and kicks him more and demands that he never leave the house, then his mom interrupts them by saying that the TV doesn't work anymore. Dad turns on her and starts yelling at HER to find him a new job (read: crime), then, and Keigo pitter patters away, only to be booted AGAIN by his dad because he's in the way. Then his dad angrily rants about how if TOMIE HAD NEVER GOTTEN HERSELF KNOCKED UP he wouldn't be in this position and IF THAT LITTLE BRAT HAD NEVER BEEN BORN he could still be FREE AS A BIRD while mom begs him not to leave.

The memory ends with him finding an out of the way place and hugging his Endeavor doll.

Hawks is doing training exercises! He's about eleven and blindfolded again and there are a bunch of targets, including moving ones, and once again there are a pair of people in suits and dark glasses watching him (one has big ears like a bat, one has scales like a snake).

This time they have someone in medical scrubs with them, who doesn't SEEM nervous or upset or anything? Their attitude is sort of like 'sports medic', ready to work but not necessarily expecting it.

The training exercise gets more and more complex the longer it goes, introducing elements like different sound cues, dodging patterns, or sometimes specific patterns of vibrations, and all the feathers Hawks is shooting out get increasingly inaccurate and erratic as he tries to deal with this (the two observers note it down on their clipboards). He seems like, genuinely sort of distressed and overwhelmed for a while, getting more and more upset as he works to keep up with the training exercise.

Then he just FUCKIN FAINTS. He collapses. The medic jumps up to go collect him and the memory ends.

In this one, a plane's engine fails midflight and it starts just like dropping out of the air. Hawks is called in after the plane has already started to break apart and the people in it are falling.

He reacts right away and just takes TO THE AIR, shooting up way higher than humans are supposed to go (his jacket is buttoned up. it's fine) alongside a few other heroes who can fly - but he's so much faster than any of them, flies higher, gets there first. There are about a hundred people falling and he shoots around, sending feathers out in every direction while dodging bits of DEBRIS with increasingly worse mobility. He catches everyone with feathers, without a single casualty.

And then he starts dropping from the sky himself, because he used up all his feathers.

The altitude is VERY high and so he has a LOT of time while falling to do some internal math. His feathers (and the civilians they're carrying) zip around at high speeds, depositing people into the arms of other, slower flying heroes who carry them back down to the ground. The feathers rejoin his wings and he spreads them, flaps, and catches himself about a dozen feet from the ground.

When he lands there's just like a WILD CHORUS OF CHEERING PEOPLE, both the people he saved and people watching from the ground, and he practically gets mobbed by them.

It's the High End fight

[ANIME]

It's too many manga chapters. Basically Endeavor fights a big scary monster and Hawks helps him.

MHA Chapter 258

This is a memory of two months of deep undercover spy work. Hawks makes friends with the people in the Paranormal Liberation Army, learns about them, their causes, and their structure.

He also especially makes friends with Twice, who decides he's a good guy because anyone who helps their friends can't be bad!! Let's fly free in the sky together!!

Hawks will absolutely go on to kill this man. Oops.

Headcanon memory!

A younger looking Hawks enters an office, where an older man is freaking out - he's got clouds of some sort of weird smoke wafting off him. He turns when Hawks enters and points accusingly at him. He says that all his men have been taken in. He says that all his plans were ruined. He says that YOU, HAWKS, promised that you'd help.

Hawks says, 'Well, I'm helping someone!'. The feathers in his wings glow and then in an instant the air around the man is filled with them, pointing at him from every angle, so close he couldn't move without running into them. They look sharp.

Hawks goes on to say that this man is under arrest and that it would be best if he came quietly. His plans are done, his organization is done, it's over. And for a moment it looks like the man is about to give up, and then -

And then he SCREAMS, and the clouds billowing off him intensify and start to fill the room. The man says he's NOT beaten. His plans may be ruined but he is going to KILL the spy who ruined him before he goes down. And once he's done that he's going to go on and kill more. And he's going to make sure everyone knows whose fault it i-

Hawks' expression changes. His cocky grin drops. Underneath there's nothing, just a sort of dead-eyed resolve, and before the man is even done screaming he drops, dead on the floor, a primary flight feather through his throat.

Hawks sighs and makes a call. He asks for cleanup. After a beat his brows furrow and he says, 'well, I had to try'.

CHAPTER 316

- A woman is falling from the sky, apparently having just Literally exploded
- Hawks catches her as she falls but hawks CAN'T FLY (note: the implication is that endeavor literally just threw hawks like baseball at nagant)
- he says he's her replacement and he yells at her that she can't die on them!!! and also that she's still a hero and she can't let it end like this!! etc etc
- when they land safely she peers up at him and asks 'tell me, mr. replacement. my soul couldn't take any more, so how do you still have that look in your eye?'
- and because hawks is fucking insane he says 'i wasn't alone in this (thinking about a stuffed doll), and i'm an optimist'
- then they arrest the yelling man with no arms and send nagant to the hospital

W took two memories offscreen privately. they were all the background info of his setting and also all the normal bits of his training.

THESE PAGES minus the flashback which is not shown in the memory itself

Hawks wakes up in the passenger seat of a car, beat to shit, without his wings, and wearing an oxygen mask which makes it impossible for him to talk (all communication he does in this memory is via text-to-speech). He and Best Jeanist, the driver, exposit back and forth about how both of them recently nearly died and then Jeanist makes a pit stop to stop some crimes. The people are half thankful half resentful and mention a lot of heroes have recently quit.

They make another stop in a really nice area of town and stop by a BIG house where the nameplate says 'Ukai'. They go inside and Hawks calls for his mom, but she's not there. The house is empty. His mom has left a note explaining that she got threatened by scary men and released his backstory, and adds that she's proud of him and she's sorry.

Jeanist starts to have sympathy for him and Hawks is like DO not even start and says that they already cut ties a long time ago. Then he says they've got work to do and they gotta go help!! Endeavor!!!

THESE PAGES minus anything that's obviously 'meanwhile, elsewhere'

The top 3 heroes are holding a press conference. They are CLEARLY ALL BEAT TO SHIT and EVERYONE IS MAD AT THEM and Hawks has to apologize ~sincerely~ for like, not telling everybody whose business it wasn't that his father was a murderer and the public sucks. all my homies hate the public
