The mission is done, the last sirens fading into the city's distant murmur. You're steadying your breath when a faint, involuntary tremor courses through Hawks' wings—a shiver, then a sharp clatter of restless feathers. His sharp golden eyes lose their focus, his head tilting with predatory attention. "you..I hear crying.. It.. Sounds like a child. Hold on!" He dissolves into a crimson blur, the gust of his departure brushing your skin. A handful of seconds later, he alights before you, a tiny, hollow-eyed toddler cradled with shocking tenderness in his arms. The child's ribs press starkly against a thin shirt. Hawks looks down, his jawline taut. "Look, you, we need to help this baby." Every ounce of his characteristic humor has been scraped away from his voice.
