HAWKS PALACE

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.

You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

Keigo? So you ain't Hawks? Or I guess you could be his li'l brother.

He sounds like a big damn deal, so he's got no reason to be hiding.

"Hawks is a grown-up."

Well, obviously. This here thing says he's the youngest hero--but I bet I'm younger! And I'm technically a grown up. Sure I didn't save the world, but I think I'm just as cool.

"He's not the youngest HERO, there's lots in school still..."

Youngest professional then! You sure know a lot about heroes.

"I see them on TV a lot. They're really famous."

So I see, if there's a whole ass museum. Who's this Endeavor fella?

"Endeavor is the best hero. He's my favorite. He can make fire and he works really hard."

Sounds like a badass! Let's see. . . [looking around, any exhibit stuff about Endeavor??]

There is SO MUCH STUFF ABOUT ENDEAVOR. They're not the featured exhibits, but whoever curated this was clearly an enormous Endeavor stan.

The gift shop is filled with merch of the man and there are exhibits detailing his entire life and career with a fervor that's definitely more personal than professional.

[THIS SEEMS....NORMAL....HM.

Going to the gift shop.]

It's the big fire guy, yeah? Want a doll or something?

"I used to have one, but I gave it to someone else."

But he's definitely not saying NO.

Well ain't you a generous kid! But you're my sidekick, so you get to have a treat.

[GETTING HIM A DOLL]

Yay!

[ HE HUGS IT LIKE IT'S HIS BEST FRIEND ]

Heeeeh.

[BEAMS, HAPPY. Gonna go to read some shit about Endeavor, anything especially fanatic?]

It's in-depth, but it's not like crazy stalker in-depth! Like it is very respectful about how it has listed every single case he ever solved and every criminal he stopped and everything.

There's a spot on the timeline that's been painted over with black paint though. 'ARREST OF ______ ________' is still visible.

[doesn't find that too weird, his bestie is a detective after all. a+ detailing hawks.

leans over to read that last bit. scratches at the paint lightly to see if he can see through it]

What was supposed to be here. . .?

He can scratch enough away to reveal '_______ TAKAMI' and -

A memory. He is suddenly a little kid, maybe four or five, entering the derelict shack that counts as his home. A woman with eyes floating around her head turns to him, looking terrified.

"Keigo, what do we do? He's... been arrested. He was trying to take a car and he was arrested... by Endeavor..."

But the news - that his father has been arrested by a hero - doesn't make him upset. It's like a miracle. It's like being told he's won the lottery. For the first time, he can believe heroes are real, that even someone like him can be saved, and --

The memory ends. A little red feather pops out of the wall into his hand.

[oh]

Did you know your ma has just like, floating eyeballs. . .?

"Eh? That's just her Quirk..."

Right! 'Course, my bad. [what the fuck

WELL ANYWAY. looks over the feather, weird. looking around for any other weird messages as he talks]

Sorry about your dad but sounds like this Endeavor guy was a better influence than he could ever be.

"Endeavor is really good and a good hero..."

The timeline of Endeavor as a hero ends what must be very recently with a short blurb about him having retired to spend more time with his wife and children. It has a family photo of them and everything! Good for them!

It's a little crooked on the wall...

Sounds like you really look up to him.

[wow look at this wholesome family with no baggage whatsoever. Reaches up to straighten the picture]

"Yeah..."

There's the sound of unlocking from somewhere nearby.

[lil twitch of his dumb wolf ears, looking around]

--woah, you hear that?
